issue is clearly drawn between re-
action and progress. The wish Of the
enemies of labor and of the people
generally is not merely to stand pat
for what is; it is to go back to what
was.
Against this concept of darkness
the people must mass themselves SOL
idly and invincibly for progress,
There burns in the hearts of the
American people a great and noble
ideal. The spirit that made of our
war a great crusade and that made
of our wonderful army a host of
crusaders sworn to fidelity to human
rights and human freedom lives in
everything that is truly American
and demands expression in the acts
of our public representatives and
of our government.
In wanton denial Of this nobility
of thought and concept the Hessians
of greed and plumber seek to ride
down the rights of the people and
destroy their liberties. The enemies
of labor have given to their servants
the mandate that labor must be
crushed, it's rights denied and its
liberties destroyed.
With the freedom of the working
people the whole destiny of democ-
racy as understood in American life
is involved and entwined. If Labor
could be turned back from it's on
ward march the great torch of liberty
would cease to burn for the millions.
The masses of the working people
of the nation understand the great
issue that faces them. The one su
preme issue is whether liberty shall
live. Profiteering, the denial of free
speech and free press, the despotic
use of the injunction-all of these
are manifestations of the same de-
termination, the same drive to crowd
labor back from the road of progress
and to take out of millions of homes
that light which has come into them
as the harbinger of higher and
better civilization.
Let America make no mistake
about what is involved in this cam
paign. Let no man or woman take
lightly the duties involved. Let
none undervalue by fraction the
solemn obligation that is laid upon
all to bring decisive defeat to enc
mics of human progress and to crown
with victory the candidates. of those
who stand as friends of liberty and
justice and progress.
The dim eyes of the helpless are
upon the hosts of labor in this great
struggle. May the manhood and the
wCmanhood of America vindicate now
the hopes and the truths out of which
our great nation had it's birth.

INDUSTRIAL
INSURANCE
DEPARTMENT
Fatal Accidents in June

There were thirty-one fatal acct
dents reported to the Industrial In
surance Department in the month of
June, none of them in Snohomish
county.
Notice to All EmplOyers-Preparing
Accident Reports
We find that many employers feel
that they cannot make a proper re-
port of an accident unless, at the
same time, the claimant makes his
less this is because the form pro-
vided by the Industrial Insurance De-
partment has on one side a blank
for workman's claim and on the re-
verse side blank for the employers
report. The Commission is indeed
glad to have the employer interested
in the claimant to such an extent
that he will render assistance to the
claimant in making the claim, but
the employer should not hold up a
report for any great length of time
for that purpose. All accidents should
be reported at once, on the form pro-
vided by the Department.
And the more in detail the en-
ployer's report the more satisfac-
tory to the Department in passing
upon the claim. All blanks should be
filled. Each question in the prepared
form refers to point very material
in the adjudication of the claim. Nor
should the employer hesitate to pre-
sent any fact he may deem material
though no question appears in the
blank relative thereto. 1t often oc-
ours that the employers report,
workman's claim and doctors report
present a clear case of compen-
sable claim and after an award is
made the employer will write to the
Commission, questioning the claim
and presenting state of facts
wholly new to the record. And oft
en- the employer will question the
propriety of the claim without pre-
senting his reasons. The Commits
sion is very DESTROYS of receiving
with the original report a full state
ment of all facts within the knowl-
edge of the employer bearing upon
the validity of the claim and it's
proper adjudication.
Please bear in mind that this De-
partment accepts an employers re-
port of an accident as evidence that
the employer regards the claim as
properly compensate according to
law unless the report embodies some
statement indicating otherwise.
