EMPLOYERS like

Prove TO be Successful Shields
to Reduce Wages in Log

SEATTLE, Feb. 10. Company
unions" have proved such a success
ful shield for employers in reducing
wages, that provision is made for
these unions" in a so-called indus
trial code, introduced in the state
legislature. The bill is a one-man adj
ministration of law that would
assist in the. organization of indus
trial councils" A trade union can be
cited by the administrat ton officer to
hand over it's books, under penalty of
contempt of court.
President Short of the Washington
state federation of labor declares that
unless a howl of protest is raised
from every section Of the state loud
enough to be heard in every corner Of
the legislative halls at Olympia, it is
quite possible that this audacious rec
ommendation will be enacted into
law"
1T is the nerviest PLAN" said Pres
1dent Short. that has yet been pre-
sented to any legislative body in an
effort to use tho machinery of GOV
eminent for the private purposes Of
employers. In addition to the estab-
llshment OF one-nan administration,
which will virtually wipe out Of ex-
1stence all participation by labor in
administration OF labor legislation, it
provides for the organizations devel-
oped by the employers to- replace
trade unions"

WILL CUT
WAGES OF TRADESMEN

Continued from Page 1.
to reduce rents in Duluth? No! We
are still paying the same price for
living in their houses that they arbit-
rarily fixed during and since the war.
They have not come down one penny,
and they will not come down. They
own the houses. That is the differ
ence between them and the workers.
A few staple articles, it is true,
have been reduced in price quite re-
Gently, but there is no assurance that
the reduction is permanent. It will
depend entirely upon the SPECTATORS
in food products and how completely
they can control any of such.
This much is certain: The en-
ployers may force any kind of a.
scale they see fit on the workers at
this time; some of them will take it
and others will not, but when spring
comes and the nights are warm so
the workers will not have to worry
about the cold, there will be a good
old-fashioned strike in Duluth in all
of the building trades from the saw
mill to the house furnisher, and
nothing on earth can prevent it ex-
cept working agreements with union
labor
Surely there are enough building
contractors who have been in the
business sufficiently long to know
what the consequences Of a. mo
agreement labor situation will be.

BUYING CONTROL 0FPLANTSN new

secretary-treasurer Of the Interna-

cent Iron Works, Norfolk, Va, man.
agemen is working SO successfully it
will be adopted by rnachinists in Pa
cific coast cities. 1t is known fanil-
iarly as the Norfolk Plan"
Mr.. Dawson explained the Crescent
Iron Works deal. Outstanding obliga-
tions of that company were bought
up by the I. A. of NJ, control Of the
works obtained, and credit given to
the enterprise by a bank controlled
by the 7. A. Of M. The Crescent plant
flourished, the I. A. of M. saved $780,
900 by not being forced to pay out
strike benefits, and instead of a pro-
longed struggle the employees were
kept at work at top wages, and Nor
folks merchants were made happy.
When the Iron Masters association
declared for an open shop in the sum-
mer; of 1920 investigation disclosed
that there was an outstanding mort
gage of $4,000 on the Crescent Works
a few days overdue. Mr.. Dawson, act
ing for the union, attempted to buy
up the mortgage, but the bank hold
ing it refused to sell. Further in
quiry disclosing that many Of the de-
positors were members Of unions,
steps were taken which resulted in a.
sudden decrease of the institutions
deposits on hand. The offer to pur-
chase the mortgage being then re-
newed, the bank consented to the sale,
Mr.. Dawson explained.
A "show down" with the manage
ment of the works followed immedi-
atel,y Mr.. Dawson said, the outcome
being the reopening of that plant as
a strictly union shop.
1.-THE Crescent shop had employed
40 machinists," Mr.. Dawson explained,
"but these were working overtime.
We obtained the adoption of a sched-
ule which permitted the employment
Of a. force of 60 men on an S-hour
basis, and later to the use Of three
shifts a day. BY changing the per-
sonnet so as to allow each employe to
get in three days a week, we soon had
this one plant giving work to more
than $50 men, all but 40 Of whom
would have been idle under the old
system"
Soon, however, according to Mr..
Dawson, Norfolk bankers refused to
advance credit for current transac-
tons to the Crescent works. and job
bers, he said, refused to sell it equip
ment. The, machinists union at once
deposited with a Norfolk bank suffi-
cient cash to cover immediate needs
and met the remaining problem by ar
ringing with out-of town firms for
the articles needed to complete the
work at hand.

DISCUSS OUT OF
WORK IN CANADA.
Trade and Labor Congress Has
Definite Plan ID Cure Unen-
poymeat n Dominion.

OTTAWA. Ont. Feb. 1O.-In a cir
cular on unemployment and under
employment issued to affiliates. off,
GERS Of the Trades and Labor con-
gress Of Canada say:
whether the volume Is greater or
not, it is certain that the distress
caused by unemployment Is much
serious than in other times. and this
is attributable to the fact that the
wages generally being paid have a
less purchasing power than those OF
pre-war years and are most cases
completely absorbed in maintaining
ordinary standards OF living during
periods Of employment with the re-
suit that distress occurs in an ever
increasing number Of cases immedi-
ately employment ceases"
Remedies for unemployment sug-
gested by the trade unionists include
the following:
"Creation Of a state employment in
surance fund by assessments on in
dustries similar to the methods ad-
opted with provincial compensation
funds, this to be administered under
the authority Of the dominion gov
eminent. Payments from this fund
to be made to those unemployed and
those underemployed. BY placing
the cost of employment largely on
industry, it is our opinion that greater
efforts will be then undertaken than
are now made by those controlling
industry to obyiate unemployment.
without entering into further de-
tails, provisional and dominion gov
ernments should contribute towards
this fund at least the cost Of it's ad-
ministration."
It is also suggested that immigra-
ton and alien labor laws be amended
so as ito prevent the flooding Of Can
ada by workers induce dto come here,
often under representation"

between the United States Mail steer,-

Of the passenger liners chartered from

are under way was the burden of a
report among shipping men.
While American labor will undoubt-
eddy feel the effect of a deal which
will show, it is said, nearly $685.
100000 worth of work to German
shipyards, the financial advantages to
the steamship line are obvious.
Besides the cheaper labor cost and
the advantage the Americans have in
the low cost of the mark, the German
shipbuilding interests are said to be
willing to make concessions for work
which would virtually re-establish
their shipyards.
Some of the finest ships chartered
last year from the shipping board are
among those which may go to Ger
man shlpyards for OVerhauling. The
list is said to include the George
washington, the Agamemnon and the
President Grant.
All these vessels have lain idle at
their piers since they were chartered.

new YORK GOVERNOR FOR
CITY OWNED ST, RAILWAY

ALBANY, N. r., Feb. 1o.--1n a mes
sage to the state legislature on street
car problems Governor Miller said
that the transportation problem in
New York has steadily drifted toward
disaster, and that the wise solution
will pave the way for a single mu-
nicipal1y-owned SYSTEM"
1.-The problem,' said the governor,

by the wiles OF the demagogue. The

When one of the Tammany candi-

Tuesday. It will be a peoples ticket,

labor will play but secondary part
in the campaign. Indeed. working
men are but part of the citizenship
Of Duluth. They do not want to boss
the job. They want no "dictator-
ship of the proletariat," but just an
even break with the other portion of
the citizenship.
Mr.. snively for mayor is not of the
working folks, but he has some no.
tions about how a local government
should be conducted. These ideas run
parallel with the thoughts of work.

The union then extended it's opera

BEAR LAKE AHEAD
OF SNAKE RIVER

Bear Lake county this year is ap-
proximately two weeks ahead of the
Snake river valley in point of crop
progress. according to President g.
C. Wright OF the First National
Bank, who passed through the city
Saturday enroute to one of the
Lake resorts where he has summer
cottage. He left his family at the
Lake for tho summer.
MIR. Wright was enthued about the
appearance OF the farming sections
of Bear Lake county, and stated that
prospects for a bumper harvest never
looked better TO him. You are al
least two weeks earlier than Snake
River Valley" said MIR. Wright. This
situation is rather peculiar and Is
accounted for only because of late
snow storms that visited that section
and practically missed this part OF
the state.

SPOILED WHEAT IN
BEAR LAKE COUNTY

The matter Of spoiled wheat in the
bins of many farmers in Bear Lake
county was brought to our attention
by a prominent man of this city on
Monday. 1t appears that many farm
ers of this county lost the opportan-
ity Of disposing Of their grain last
fall when fairly good price and
market was available in the hopes
OF the market improving.
While they were thus waiting mar
keting conditions became worse, and
likewise the price, and as a result
the grain became overheated through
a long period of storage. The grain
was extra heavy in moisture in the
beginning, and long storage meant
absolute ruin to much grain.
Just what the losses will amount
to in the county to the farmers is q
hard matter to determine, but 1t is
slater that the amount will amount
to large sum. Much of the spoiled
grain was mortgaged, and as a result
Of holding it too long, men who loan
ed money on this class of security are
compelled to carry their loans much
longer, while the farmers are the
heaviest losers.

All roads lead to Ideal Beach last
Saturday afternoon and evening. On
that day the famous resort opened
for the season with a rerord attend
ance.
The first feature of the evening
was big dance In the Pavilion at the

music. Following the dance a
wrestling match between Potter and
kimball took place which resulted in
a draw.
Ideal beach Is now ready for the
season. The cafe is now open and
the cottages are gradually being
filled up with campers. At the open
ing Saturday there were people from
every part Of Bear Lake county,
Kemmerer and other distant points.
Manager Fred Chaplin announces
that dances will be held at the resort
every Wednesday and Saturday even
ings. The management will be pleas
ed to receive suggestions from any
individual club or organization as
to the class OF entertainment and
stunts desired, and are ready to make
Ideal Beach the most desirable place
for an outing in this section.

Social Pleasures.

Pleasure Is one of the great bless
ings of human life, both for Its OVID
sake and for It's direct influence on
character; II therefore demands not
contempt or Indifference. but thankful
recognition. It is not pleasure, but
something evil that may sometimes be
associated with 1t, that needs wedding
out from our lives; and If sociability
had no other clnlm than the simple
and innocent happiness II creates, II
would still demand high place In our
regard.

Word Of Norman orInln.

Our word helmet Is really the d.
minutive form Of the old Norman
"healme" and means little helm.
The tendency of the French language
was 10 drop the ~ and to substitute
a long 20" sound and so we got
heaume. The heaumers or henlmers
OF medieval England were makers of
helmets and the word has come down
to us as the surname Homer.
