Motors.

Small, speedy street cars run by
Dodge Brothers motors are helping
to solve the street railway problem
Of Port Au Prince, capital of Haiti
Hampered as they are by political
troubles and forces of occupation, in
their treatment of the transportation
problem the Haitans have out
stepped many cities more advantage
ously situated. Interesting photo
praphs of the novel street cars were
brought back by Edward Henkel, who
visited Haiti recently on board the
u. S. S. Henderson.
For the period of the last six or
eight republics, as they figure time
time in Haiti, railroads and street
cars there have been operated by the
Haitian American Sugar company.
For many years large sums of money
have been squandered annually in
the upkeep of ancient steam loco
motives, which consumed fabulous
quantities of coal in their short
trips.
An economical solution was finally
reached by the railroad superinten-
dent with the help of Anton Kneer,
Dodge Brothers dealer in Port Au
Prince. With Dodge Brothers
chassis as a beginning, complete
street railway coach was built. The
gearing from the original rear axle
to the 32-inch locomotive wheels
which drive the car was greatly re-
duced so that the sprockets on driv-
ing axle and driving wheels were
equal in size. In this way the power
which could be applied was greatly
increased.
With total weight Of 1850 pounds
the chassis could now be sped up
to forty miles an hour without over
heating the motor. On this chassis
a complete street car was construct
ed, and the completed job is now
making regular trips on the streets

HOMEMADE BATTERY FILLER.


Many car owners have suffered
the annoyance of trying to pour dis
titled water into their storage bat
teries and having much of it slop
over. Here is little device that
makes this operation accurate and
easy. Drill a hole in the cork that
fits an appropriately sized bottle.
Into this hole throust quill or glass
tube. Next drill small hole in the
neck of the bottle, just about where
it swells into the body. The flow Of
water can be regulated by covering
and uncovering this hole, which ad-
mits air to the bottle.

THE REPAIR ADVICE.

When examining the inside of q
casing for puncture fabric break,
or weak spot, most of us try to force
the board apart with both hands
supporting the tire meanwhile upon
our shoulders as best we can. This
task may be enormously lightened by
using wedge made of a substantial
bit of wood quarters Of an inch
thick and three to five inches long,
according to the size of the tire.
This wedge is slipped between the
beads and pulled around the circum-
ference of tie casing with one hand,
while the other hand is free to hold
the tire.

TEST WHEELS FOR
SIDE PLAY QUARTERLY

Every car owner ought to make it
practice to test the wheels for
side play at least three or four times
a year. Side play performs double
vicious role, for it causes excessive
bearing wear and tire wear as well.
If the motorist will jack up each
wheel in turn, and, grasping it firm
ly push an dpull it, any side motion
will be readily apparent. In many
cars wheel bearings are adjustable
to care for just such trouble

Our movement is in the midst of
Crisis that endangers it's very life
The immediate future will test our
strength, our courage, loyalty and
capacity-mentally and otherwise
as it has never before been tested
We have faith that the delegates to
this convention will measure up to
their responsibilities, and that from
this association of labor's spokesman
will evolve a still stronger FEEDER
alton, rededicated to the task of
protecting and promoting the best
interests of the wage-earing masses
of our state.
Organized greed seems to have
temporarily gained the saddle in di-
recting the industrial policies of the
state and nations basic industries
Control by such forces can only be
tempory. It's duration will be
measured by the measure of labor's
resistance to it. The labor move
ment has ever been the bulwark of
our democracy, protecting not only
its own liberties, but the liberties of
the entire mass Of the people. The
conspiracy to destroy our movement
is aimed to destroy the liberty of
our people.

chased from the temples, and our
movement, revitalized by the knowl-
edge of the magnitude of the con.
test, be modified to its fullest fight.

Your Executive Council takes this
occasion to commend the labor press
OF the state for its support of the
Federation in all its activities dur
ing the past year. The increasing
value of the labor press is becoming
more and more apparent to our
movement, and this recognition of
its value should be carefully nur-
tured.
The labor movements at Belling-
ham and Walla Walla have during
the last year seen the advantage of
launching labor papers for their
communities and both communities
are getting out valuable papers. We
pledge our continued support to the
labor press.
The Union Record has been sub
jected to the most violent attacks
during the past year and it's future
existence seriously threatened. It's
relation to the future progress and
success of our movement is too ap-
parent to require further emphasis
here, and your Executive Council
recommends that the convention in
turn recommend to all affiliated
unions that the fullest support pos
sible-financial and moral-be given
the Record, to the end that it's pres
ent service will be permanently in
sured and the opportunity for pro-
gressive improvement carefully cul-
tivated.

There is danger Of the activities
of an armor plate and munitions in
dustry. There is a greater danger of
an armament and munitions pork
barrel. And there is always the
great difficulty of maintaining in
peace times (either under private
or governmental cOntro) munitions
establishments that can quickly meet
the requirements Of war. One way
or another the Government will have
to support those industries which
it must have in war times that can
not help themselves make living
in peace times.
"And it is negligence akin to man
slaughter for the Government to have
any army or navy and not to have
ready for it a sufficient and con-
tinuous supply of food, clothing
equipment, munitions and every
thing else which goes to make the
man at the front efficient"

Recommendations

l. We recommend that the con-
vention select a committee to confer
with a like committee from the
teachers of the state for the pur.
pose of preparing a new school code
aimed to bring about a more equit-
able distribution of school funds
but which will avoid the mistakes
of the school code proposed to the
last legislature and will preserve the
fundamental democracy of our
school system.
2. We recommend that an eff
fective fight be planned to replace
on the supreme court of our state
the judges who signed the majority
decision on the emergency clause OF
the administrative code with more
progressive judges who have demon
strated their adherence to fundamen-
tai principles and who can be relied
on to uphold the clear provisions of
our constitution and protect the
rights of the common people.
( 8. We recommend that the Fed
Grafton devote itself to cooperating
with every department in resisting
to the utmost further wage reduc-
tions and attempts to establish the
non-union shop.
Awe recommend the adoption OF
the plan submitted by the building

Resignation of Vice-President
Johnston

Vice-President Frank Johnston of
the Seventh district resigned last
January. The Executive Council de-
cided not to name a successor, due
to the fact that the call for nomi-
nations was being issued almost i'm
mediately thereafter. Your Council
was of the opinion that had they
named someone their action in so
doing might have been resented by
the movement of that district as an
effort on our part to give advantage
to some particular member in the
race for nominations and election,
and decided to leave the office va
cant until the election occurred and
then name the successful candidate
to take office Immediately on the
votes being counted.
Vice-President Johnston during
the term of his office proved an ac-
tive worker in the interests of the
Federation, and his resignation
brought distinct loss to the FEEDER
alton of our state.

Both May Cause Blindness

Both syphilis and gonorrhea may
cause blindness, says the u. S. Pub
lie Health Service, the first usually
through inheritance and the second
by infection of the newborn child.
The latter may become blind in
single day if the attending doctor
failed to cleanse its eyes with a few
drops of one per cent solution of
silver nitrate. Most states have for
some time required this treatment.
Six more-Idaho, Missouri, Nevada,
New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas
passed laws requiring it at their
latest legislative sessions. Doctors
failing to obey these laws are liable
for damages if blindness to the new
born results. Insistence on the
treatment will practically remove
this source of blindness.

We give an epitome of the re-
port Of the Executive Council of
the State Federation of Labor now
IN session at Vancouver, Washing
ton.
Pursuant to the provisions of
the constitution, the Executive
Council herewith submits to you,
and through you to the organized
workers of the state, a brief re-
sumo of the activities of your
State Federation of Labor during
the past year.
1T would be extremely unadvisable
to attempt to relate in this report
all of the many services it has been
the privilege of the Federation to
render to the general labor move
ment Of our state during the past
year. Almost every branch of our
movement has been subjected to an
attack in some form or other as a
result of the general effort being
made to destroy or render ineffective
the trades union movement of our
state and nation. The State Fed
Grafton has rendered all assistance
possible in combating to the fullest
extent the enemies of our movement
on both the economic and political
field.
Considerable criticism has been
voiced In previous conventions
against too lengthy reports, and for
that reason your Executive Council
has decided to make this report as
brief as possible"

Problem of Stream Doctors

tors are studying how to prescribe
for streams that are suffering from
over contributions of sewage. When
once a cumulative relation between
the pollution on the one hand and
the population industrial wastes,
stream flow, and temperature on the
other has been established the
stream doctors will be better able to
prescribe the sort of tonic that will
restore the stream to health and
make it available for drinking or

The Timber Workers Union of
the state has launched a campaign
to complete the work of organiza-
ton in that industry. The Four L
organization proved the mirage all
experienced trades unionists had pre-
dicted for it as soon as it would be
put to the test. 1t has utterly failed
to provide any protection to its mem
bers against the ruthless slashing of
wages by the employers. Its former
members seem to be now fully dis
lllusioned and are now flocking to
the International Timber Workers
Union. Their campaign of organiza-
ton has been assisted as much as
possible by the field officers of the
Federation, and we ask the fullest
support for it from the general labor
movement of the state.
