Commander
Pinches Pinheads

Wa. ~. .on, March 1G.-National
Commander Galbraith 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
izcnship 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.
I'VE 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."

Help First Your
Own Home People

There is no intention to dissuade
people from contributing to starva-
tion 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 overflowing 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 i'm
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 a
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
us.

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"

The collapse of the "open shop"
campaign will not mark the last
effort of large employers to sub
iugate workers When they dis
cover to their complete satisfaction
that autocracy is impotent to do
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 toilers. In their most odious
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 a polite
form of servitude that has hereto
fore been attempted, but with re-
suits wholly disproportionate to the
expectations of its hopeful benefic-
iaries. But the Bourbon never learns
any lessons from the experiences
VI lilG past. Ilt DlOCtGtlS Dlliiuly W
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 were off guard when these
bodies were chosen and their enc
mics took advantage of their op-
portunity. Wherever they have
safe majority in general assemblies
they will make an attempt to Sc
cure enactment of laws that will
keep the workers suppliant and un-
resisting.

WARNING :!

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-
tion 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.

March IA, 1921
The Labor Journal, Everett, Wash
The following statement has been
issued by the representative of the
Republic Of Ireland quote Eng
lands newspapers peace offensive
throws smoke screen over her
campaign of assassinations, hang
ings, burings, reprisals and lockups
This morning General McReady' s
court martial hanged six soldiers
of the Irish Republican army, Ber-
nard Ryan, Patrick Doyle, Frank
Flood and three others.
Irish peoples representatives
have time after time offered peace
on withdrawal of England's army
of occupation and England's uni
formed assassins.
Dial Eirean, the Irish Congress,
has pledged the Irish people to be
faithful and constant unto death
to the cause of free republic in
this, our day.
American friends can best aid
to answer England's false peace
propaganda by a determined effort
to secure recognition of the Irish
Republic from their government.

Please give this statement the
widest publicity.

Beside the three named in the
telegram, Thomas Whelan, Patrick
Moran and Thomas Ryan were also
executed. These men went to theil
death with a declaration of inno-
cence on their lips. They died be-
cause they wished that Irish men
and women might govern Ireland
They met their fate coolly and al
most cheerfully while 10000 peo-
pie prayed outside the walls OF

ABOUT THE BIG
RECALL NOISE

There seems some lack of in
formation as to who is heading this
recall movement against COmmls-
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 II, 1921
"To 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,
chat 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 a 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 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 builc
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 dc
with the question Of taxation any
way.
Commissioner Turner's Statement
The Public Safety Department
has honestly and fearlessly enforced
the law, playing no favorites what
ever. Police records are open to
all, and for the past year show more
arrests and convictions for gambling
and liquor law violations than the
entire three years prior to my tax
ing office, no less than $4,000 hav-
ing been collected by police court in
fines and forfeitures during 1920
