Last Saturday, August 21, the Non
partisan League, the Committee of
AZ and the Triple Alliance met in
the Labor Temple and organized the
Farmer-Labor Party of Snohomish
County. This meeting marks the
binding together of the several
groups of progressives represented
in the Railwaymen's Welfare League,
the Nonpartisan League, the Com
mittee of Forty-eight and the Triple
Alliance.
In the forenoon the Nonpartisan
League held a meeting for the tran.
saction of routine business and at l
p. m. the three groups met in joint
mass convention.
A. G. Ziebell, County Chairman of
ing to order and outlined its OBJ
jects.
Jack Anderson was elected tempo
rary chairman and W. P. wilkins
temporary secretary.
A motion prevailed to cut out set
speech until the business of
the convention had been finished.
After short discussion the name
"Farmer-Labor Party" was given to
the organization.
The following preliminary COM
mittee on organization was organ
lied: Marvin Smith, Geo. Vetter, w.
j. Fortson, E. C. Daley, Frank
Johnston, j, f. Wrage, Neil Breslin,
Mrs. C. W. White, and Mrs W. S.
Cady.
During the absence of the COM
mittee VIM. Bouck addressed the con-
vention. He urged harmony and
unity of action by and among the
several groups in this progressive
political movement. He appealed to
his hearers to eliminate class distinc-
tion and go down the line to victory
Glass feeling must be wiped out or
we will not get anywhere. Then
addressing the farmers directly he
asked who "sabotaged" the American
people out of a billion and half of
dollars in sugar speculation Was it
the Wobblies? He did not apologize
should be punished for sabotage and
that the profiteers should be pun
ished for their crimes against the
consumers. lie said the retlnerS
made $103 an acre on sugar and
the farmer 7c. They call this 100
per cent Americanism-good citizen
ship-the farmers let the other fell
low do it and are content to be
good. Pretty awful-offal now, and
that is what the farmer gets. They
must unite with the city workers
in order that both may get their
own. Not defending the Wobblies
or any other organization, but who
was it that "sabotaged" the Ameri-
can people out of the difference be-
tween 22,0O0,000,000 and $9,OOO,-
100000 in the return of the rail-
roads to private ownership?
The organization entered the hall
and Mr.. Bouck closed his speech.
The Committee recommended that
the new organization be called the
"Farmer-Labor Party"

read and adopted by sections,

important.
There is a crying need of a reform
of our road laws and put them on a
business basis. Until this is accom-
plished we should fight shy of in
creased road funds.
Our state officers may not be to
blame, as is believed by many. The
system that makes possible the mis-
carriage of results, or rather lack of
system that will result in waste of
funds like the past records show
should be thrown in the scrap heap
and better system adopted-a sys-
tenn based on a business principle
that would utterly destroy the Pork
Barrel" temptation.
1t can be done; will we have the
courage to do it? It's up to the
voters.

Cured in both. Following are the

Whereas, The Imperialists of the
world through their agents, Kolchak,
Denikine, Yudenich, Poland, etc. have
waged a bitter underground war
against the Soviet Republic of Rus
sia from the very moment of the
birth of this working class admin
stration; and
Whereas, All their cunning, lying
intrigue, all their murderous aggres-
sions, all their gold, munitions, press
and soulless blockade have brought
them naught but defeat at the hands
of the dauntless Christs of Revolu-
ton, the workers and peasantry of
Russia: and
Whereas, These Imperialists now
maddened with fear, greed and des-
peration are on the very verge of
openly declaring war on Russia or
carrying on open warlike activity,
and thereby throwing the world into
another slaughterfest;
Therefore, Be 1t Resolved, That
we, the Tacoma Central Labor Coun-
Gil of the American Federation of
Labor, call upon the Councils of Sc
attic and Everett to join with us in
nationwide call to the labor move
ment of America to follow the eX-
ample of the working class of Brit
ain and join with them in a general
cessation of work in case Imperial
ism's hand openly strikes at our
brothers and sisters in Russia, and
Be 1t Further Resolver, That the
action of the labor movement of
Great Britain be considered as the
guiding rule for our action in gen.
eral.

Council to Investigate
Lawrence Mill Closing
Mayor Says William Nj. Wood
Feted $4,000 Employees, Then
He Locked Them Out

LAWRENCE. Mass, July 19.-The
Lawrence city council voted to-day to
wait upon President William M. Wood
of the American Wooden Company to
ask him the reason for the shut down
of the mills here. The mills have been
closed one week, throwing $1,000 out
of employment. Mayor William P.
White said the lockout constituted a
serious situation.
"lf Mr.. Wood had intelligent advisers.
he would not give Is per cent wage
advance to his workers and then in a
few weeks throw them out of work;
nor would he give them pink teas with
peanuts and cheese one week and put
them out of work the next" said the
mayor.
"Mr. Wood has entertained thousands
at his estate in the past few weeks
with music and cheese; now some of
them are starving.
Il do not want to have to open soup
kitchens in this city. Big war profits
we're made by the American Wooden
Company, not by the city of Law
renee and the company could we'll
afford to sell cloth at cost, or at a
slight loss, if necessary"
Mayor White later announced that
President Wood had telephoncd him
that he had sent letter explaining
conditions
