Poll Tax Qualities
A Citizen for Jury
Duty, Court Rules

Bellingham, Sept. 12.-Judge Har-
din ruled this morning that a pay
ment of the $5 poll tax makes a
man sufficiently a taxpayer to
qualify him for jury service. 1t
is the law that before a man or
woman may sit as juror he or she
must be taxpayer of the county
Hardin said he had not heard of any
decision on the subject, but had
concluded that payment of the poll
tax makes one taxpayer Just the
same as paying tax on personal
property or realty.
The matter came up in the test
ing of A. L. Lorenz, a young farm
er in the Mountain View district,
as to his qualifications to serve as a
juror in the September term be-
ginning today. He said he had
never paid any tax but the poll
tax.

A favorable decision was secured IN
Spokane last year, and the Bakers
Union of that city is today cover
ing the city with cards and posters
announcing the unfair bakery firms,
and scattering cards on the side

business; while the Cooks and Wait

houses. Spokane has been conduct
ing this form of picketing for sew
cral months, and has been sustained
in court on several occasions in
their right to do so.
Much of the hope for success in
the present struggle of the Miners
Union rests on the decision to be
rendered by Judge Griffiths at Sc
attle.
Since debating the above state
ment, just as the same was about
to be placed in the mail, decision
was just rendered by Judge Aus
tin E. Griffiths in which he held
that there was not sufficient cause
shown why the injunction should
be made permanent and for that
reason ordered it Immediately dis
solved. Trial of II cases of miners
for contempt of court, on the charge
of violating the temporary restrain
ing order, are continued in the court
hut from the evidence already in

will be dismissed by the court.

The Spokane labor movement
placed the Spokane Fair on its Off
cial unfair list many months ago,
following the refusal of the man
agement to employ any union labor
at the prevailing scale. The man
agement announced early this year
that the highest scale to be paid
to any mechanics would be $500
city of Spokane, and by all con-
tracing firms, for all classes of
mechanics, is far in excess of $500
per day. All efforts of the Build
ing Trades Council and Central
Labor Council to have the matter
properly adjusted met with failure,
with a result that the Fair was
finally placed on the unfair list.
The spokane labor movement
waged an active campaign against
patronage of the Fair. with a re-
suit that on last week Monday,
when the Fair opened, the attend
ance showed only approximately
1000 as compared to over 49,
900 on the same day last year. The
attendance at every succeeding day
was kept proportionately lower with
a result that large deficit will
have to be made up by the busi-
ness and other interests of the
city of Spokane.
Business and professional men
from every walk of life in the city
of Spokane are openly condemning
the bone-head management that
brought about this condition, and
are openly commencing labor for
it's stand. Many of those who i'm
agined labor was dormant and no
longer possessed really effective
WHAT ABOUl
The building trades councils of
the cities of Tacoma and Seattle,
supported by the State Federation
of Labor in convention, have placed
the Puyallup Fair on the official
unfair list of the state labor move
ment. The conditions that brought
about this action on the part OF
the labor movement were much more
provocative than those that in
spired like action at Spokane.
$3.50 and $4.O0 per day was the
maximum paid for carpenters and
other mechanics on the construction
work of the Puyallup Fair. All
efforts to have union men employ
ed and the prevailing scale paid,
resulted in failure.
The Puyallup Fair has succeeded
in former years due largely to the
general support it has received
from labor and its friends. The la

The miners injunction case is
still pending before the Superior
Court at Seattle. AS the Bulletin
is being compiled this week the case
is being argued before Judge Aus
tin +. Griffiths of the Superior
Court at Seattle.
Judge Griffiths in February of
this year, in the case of the Mold
ers' Union, versus the Employers
Association, at Seattle, ruled that
there was no basis in law that JUS
titled the employer prohibiting the
Molders' Union from peaceably pre-
venting the other workers from TAX
ing their places of employment and
threw the entire case out of court.
1t is believed similar decision
will be rendered in the present IN
junction case. The Pacific Coast
Coal Co. is represented by their own
attorney, Mr.. Stratton, and by Mr..
Halverstad, attorney for the En-
ployers' Association. The miners
are represented by their regular at
torney George r. Rummens. and his
associate, Mr.. Griffin. An early
decision is expected, and one IA
vorable to the right of the miners
to peacefully persuade the imported
scabs from taking their places.
The amended Clayton Act. passed
by the 1919 Legislature through the
efforts of the State Federation of
Labor, practically annuls the old st.

power, have had their eyes opened
and it is already conceded that
next years work at the big show
will all be done fair to organized
labor.
Labor Day, the day on which the
Fair opened, staged one of the larg
est parades that ever marched
through the streets of the city, ev-
cry section lead by band fur
nished by the musicians union, MAX
ing a total of five bands all told
participating in the parade. Over
5000 families participated in the
large picnic at Manito Park, where
Mayor Fleming and President Short
of the State Federation of Labor
delivered the principal addresses.
The result of the sound and con-
structive policies pursued during
the last year, particularly, by the
Spokane labor movement, is not
confined only to the results shown
by their boycott of the Fair, but in
still larger measure by the fact
that the entire city government is
lined up on the side of labor. The
Spokane labor movement has chased
no rainbows; it has kept both feet
squarely planted on the ground, and
as a result is effectively demon
strating that it is the most eff
fective and constructive force for
good in the community.
Spokane is the only large city in
the state where the organized
workers are permitted unmolested
to openly picket unfair working
places, and the right so to do
sustained by the courts.
