POSSIBLE ARMS CUT
INFLUENCES STEEL
Market Centers Interest on
News From Washington.
Other Metals Reviewed.

NEW YORK. November 19.-Intcr-
est in the steel market has centertd
on the limited armament news Som
Washington, and while some fears
were expressed lest this plan if car
ried out would exert a depressing
influence on the steel market. it was
the general opinion that the benefits
TO trade would more than offset any
reduction in demand. Business has
been small this week and while SOM.
manufacturers are still busy on old
orders buyers are showing a dispoSl
ton to limit new purchases The
prospects for a better business with
the railroads, however. is encOurag-
ing. and there have also been signs
of a broadening demand for struc-
tural steel. Pig iron has been quiet,
in consequence of which the market
presents a slightly easier tone, as
producers are anxious for new bust
ness.
Copper Continues Firm.
Copper has shown continEai firm
ness. If anything, demand mas been
a little less active. but after holding
off earlier in the week domestic con
sumers showed renewed interest, and
the advance in sterling exchange has
been an encouraging feature, al
though the chief export business re-
ported has been for shipment to Ger
many and France. The more recent
said to have come chiefly from brass
manufacturers. who are now sup
posed to be running at about 80 to
so per cent OF capacity, or nearly dou-
BILE the rate of a few months ago.
while wire drawers are not believed
to be working over 40 per cent of
normal. Very little copper is offer
ing at second hands. The larger in
terests are quoting 1875 TO 1895 Tor
forward deliveries.
Arms Limitations Talk Pleasing.
The prospect for limitation of arma-
ment seems to have a more encour-
aging effect than otherwise.
Tin was firmer in response to I'M
provement in London and in sterling
exchange, with a broadening of in
terest on the part of traders and
dealers.
Lead remained steady, although less
active. Dealers stocks are light and
producers are not Offering ahead.
In zinc there have been increased

WORKERS WITH LAWS
WILL NOT WIN FOR "OPEN SHOP"
Large Employers Are Making Attacks Upon
Legislatures With More Less Success

The collapse of the "open shop
campaign will not mark the last
effort of large employers to sub
jugate workers. When they dis
cover to their complete satisfaction
the things they have in mind they
will, as have the specially favored
in all ages, make their demands
to legislative bodies. They are now
adopting quite generally this quieter
and more effective program.
In more than a score of state
legislatures bills have appeared bills
that seek in one way or another
to restrict the legitimate activities
Of toiIers. In their most odous
form they propose to set up indus
trial courts in the personnel of
which the workers have no voice.
Compulsory arbitration, backed by
heavy legal penalties, is polite
form of servitude that has hereto
fore been attempted, but with re
suits wholly disproportionate to the
expectations of it's hopeful benefic-
iaries. But the Bourbon never learns
any lessons from the experiences
Of the past. He proceeds blindly to
do the things that have always been
done, without any regard to the
consequences. SO industrial courts,
patterned after the Kansas idea,
are bobbing up everywhere through
out the nation. Workers, natural
ly, oppose them, with varying de-
grees of success.
Anti-picket and other laws seek
ing to take the teeth out of strikes
are another favorite device of large
interests. The general assembly of
Indiana has enacted measure that
would seriously curtail the oppor-
tunities of workers to redress their
wrongs, and Ohio is following with
a number of anti-labor propositions.
Many of these laws fill find their
way to the statute books, for re-
action is in the ascendancy. The
workers We're off guard when these
bodies were chosen and their enc
mics took advantage of their OPP
portunity. Wherever they have a
safe majority in general assemblies
they will make an attempt to Sc
cure enactment of laws that will
keep the workers suppliant and I'M
resisting.

Legion Commander
Pinches Pinheads

WASHINGTON. March 16.-Nationa
COmm....L.. NaloIa.,h Of the Amer.
lean Legion told the Federated Press
today that he had ordered an i'm
mediate investigation into the mob
bing of two Nonpartisan League or
ganizers at Great Bend, Kans.,
committed by members of the le-
gion.
"They were not acts of good cit
izenship and were absolutely con-
trary to Legion principles"
Senator Ladd and Congressman
Sinclair of North Dakota today tel
egraphed Gov. Allen of Kansas
Knowing your sense of fairness,
and in view of the wide publicity
given the mobbing of the two Non
partisan League organizers at Great
Bend, we respectfully request that
you promptly start an investiga-
tion of the lawless actions in your
state by alleged members of the
American Legion and others oppos-
ing the farmers movement.
"Such actions reflect seriously not
only upon your state, but upon the
nation, for it is an unconstitutional,
un-American, unjustifiable and cow
ardly invasin of the rights of free
men.
Eve further suggest that you
ask the cooperation of the COM
mander of the American Legion in
clearing said organization of the
charge that it was involved in the
recent Kansas outrages."

The Church Strike
Report Endorsed

The Interchurch World Movement
Commissions report on the steel
strike was indorsed by the Methodist
Episcopal Council Of cities. In urg-
ing that the report be approved,
Rev. William S. Mitchell, Of Phil
adelphia, said:
This is no time for pussyfooting
or side stepping There are moral
issues involved and the integrity
of the church committee has been
attacked ! demand that a definite
stand be taken"
The resolution urges conscientious
reading of the inquiry committee
report and declares that the church
has the right and subsequent duty
to acquaint itself with any indus
trial or social situation where moral
issues are at stake and "has the
right and duty to preach ideals of
social and industrial justice which
will prevent misunderstanding and
strife"

Help First Your
Own Home People

There is no intention to dissuadc
people from contributing to starva-
ton sufferers in China, but it
might not be out of order to say
that charity ought to begin at
home. There are hundreds of peo-
pie, most of them women and chill
dren, suffering for necessary food
in this land of plenty. There are
thousands of storehouses in our land
filled to overlooking with products
of the soil, yet there are people in
every state and city suffering for
the want of food through no fault
of their own.
Tons of Chinese products are inn
ported into this country while her
people are sending money to buy
food for starving Chinese. Buy
food for whom? Why, from citi-
zens of China who are exporting
rice, eggs and other foodstuffs.
Does that look right?
There is much complaint about
discomfort in America. There is
way to stop it. Bend our efforts
to secure employment for all the
people, then help others who may
be in need Do this and discon-
tent, poverty and crime will leave

ABOUT THE BIG
RECALL NOISE

There seems some lack of in
formation as to who is heading this
recall movement against Commits
sioners Clay and Turner, but of
this much there is no doubt, that
the charges are nearly identical
against each commissioner.
H, C. Paddock files charges of
misfeasance and malfeasance in of
flee. Below is the notification by
the city clerk that the chages have
been filed:
Everett, Washington,
March -, 1921.
ITO H. c. Paddock,
1920 Hoyt Avenue,
City.
"You are hereby notified that the
ballot synopsis of the charge filed
by you against c. A. Turner, Com
missioner of Public Safety, of Ev-
erett, charging acts of misfeasance
and acts of malfeasance while in
office, and violation of his oath of
office, is as follows:
"That said Charles A. Turner,
while in office has violated the laws
of the state of Washington, and has
deliberately neglected and ignored
his duties, and failed to enforce the
laws of the state of Washington,
and the ordinances of Everett,
against gambling and other Of
fences; that he has not devoted his
entire time to the business of the
city of Everett during office hours,
that he aided and abetted the Com
missioner of Finance of said city in
making expenditures in excess Of
those permitted by the laws of the
State of Washington, and Charter
and Ordinances of the City of Ev-
erett; that he has employed en-
ployes of said city and permitted
them to draw compensation as such,
who are not eligible to employment
under the charter of said city; that
he has been wasteful of the public
funds of said city and has failed
and neglected to obey the mandate
of the city and build a public mar
ket therein; that he has been month
ly drawing from the funds of said
city large sum of money known
as an Under cover account, for
which no adequate vouchers have
been produced.
LOUIS LESH,
City Clerk.
Mayor Clay is charged with hav-
ing aided and abetted the Com
missioner of Safety of said city in
making expenditures in excess of
those permitted by the laws of the
state of Washington and the char.
ter and ordinances of said Everett, "
and that he has failed and ne
elected to obey the mandate of the
city to build a public market there
in" and has been wasteful of the
public funds of the said city"
Mr.. Paddock and his hackers have
something to prove.
That charge of failure to build
a public market is ridiculous and
there is little doubt but all other.
charges will be proven just as ridi-
culous, also malicious
Since when did the promoters of
this recall proposition begin to take
an active interest in a municipal
market, and what has that to do
with the question of taxation any
way.

WARNING q!

The citizens in whose hands has
been placed the work of circulating
petitions for the recall of City Com
missioners are warned to avoid vio-
lation of the corrupt practice law,
Under this law would come the mis-
representation of the purpose for
which the petitions are circulated
For instance, if the circulator of
a petition tells the voter whom he
asks to sign that the petition is
for any other purpose than that
set forth in the sworn charges and
for the recall of officers named in
the petition, he commits an infrac-
ton of law.
Other corrupt practices are writ
ten in the law and its violation is
punishable as set forth in the act
We have not read the law but at
tention has been called to it and
persons engaged in political work
will do well to look it up and
read it.
