Labor has no voice in the control.
No direct interest in the work and
there is friction and strife. Where
the man has a personal interest in
his work, all is changed. Young
Rockefeller. Schwab, Ford never go
on strike. Now the capital of the
worker, is the strength of his back,
his skill, his intelligence. That is
his Capital. And he puts that cap
ital into the mill just as much as the
ordinary share holder puts in his
hard cash. And the workers annual
wage, his two thousand or three
thousand dollars, is as definite cap
ital added to the stock value of the
mill as the share holder. Take it
out and the mill stops. And sub
nit that he has as equal rights to be
paid the annual dividend on his cap
ital as the ordinary share holder on
his. Also he has the same right to
vote for one of his fellow workers to
sit on the board of directors-as the
cash share holders elect theirs. An
ever increasing number Of factories
and corporations are working along
those lines and where they work,
there is neither strike nor trouble,
because the worker has a definite in
terest in his work and a definite con-
troll over his daily life. That is CO.
partnership. The other is the work
ers' Cooperative Movement of which
have not time to speak tonight.
Both of these are forming the new
urge for American Labor and in
stead Of strikes and lockouts we will
get together, labor and capital,
around the same table and settle 1t
there. That is industrial peace, not
industrial war"

"Well, what ia it,"
would that do away with trades
unionism and organized labor?"
Certainly not. No individual

NISQUALLY FAMILY
is IN NEED OF HELP

The mother of poverty stricken
family at Nisqually has sent out an
appeal for help which the good people
Of Thurston county can not afford to
ignore. The letter Is as follows:
Nisqually, August IL. 1921.
Dear Editor Standard:
What is this old world coming to-?
After my husband, only having
odd and end jobs last winter, Just
enough to keep the five of US eating,
he got what he thought steady job
May Is. When he had been there a
month, the boss came to the men and
said: well, boys, / can't pay you
yet, but the next car of ties that goes
out we will go $3.50 on it June g."
The mill broke down and he said
there would be no more work till
after the Fourth. When they went
back, he told them he was not going
to open up again. They took it TO
law, but were told they could not get
anything out of him, as the ties are
back east and the money gone. He
has nothing to sue for, as the mill
was mortgaged for all 1t is worth,
and the boss laughs at them and tells
them to get it II they can.
After not being able to get the
children any clothes all last winter
and this summer, now winter Is
coming on again, and see no way
to get any yet. My husband has work
now till rain begins, but it will take
every cent of 1t to pay back debts.
Last winter. when my husband
could not get any work at all. /
worked at housework while he cared
for the children. I saw them give
big bundles of clothes to the Red
Cross. / ask II ! could get some Of
their cast offs for my children. and
they told me could buy them cheap
at the Red Cross. / went there and
they wanted nearly as much as you
could buy new ones-too high for

United Press.
LOS ANGELES, August 16.-
Madalynne Obenchain and Arthur G.
Burch will be tried together and will
be defended by one corps Of attor-
neys, headed by Ralph Obenchain.
Lecompte Davis, noted criminal at
torney, and Warren Williams, who
was originally retained as Mrs.
Obenchain's counsel. 1t was revealed
here today.
Davis, who was asked to defend
Burch. originally stipulated that he
would not take the case unless NADIA
lynne and Burch were tried together.
Following q conference between
attorneys for both sides today. in
Guiding Attorney John Curran. who
has been representing Burch. in the
Offices Of Williams, it was decided
to merge the trials.
Davis is known to have positively
stated that Madalynne's innocence
can be absolutely proved and that in
a combined trial both she and Burch
can be cleared Of any completely in
bringing about the death Of J. Bolton
Kennedy.
Were going to fight an offensive
Defense" Ralph Obenchain tersely
characterized the coming battle for
the freedom of his former wife as
first actual preparations were made
today for the trial.
1--WE are not only going to clear
Madalynne and Arthur Burch of the
killing of Kennedy, but we're going
to the bottom of these thousand ana
one malicious rumors and insinua-
lions about various phases OF the
case," the aggressive young attorney
declared.
Obenchain intimated the possible
ity that a deliberate attempt was
being made to muddy the waters"
to the disadvantage of the present
defendants, presumably by a source
interested in the Kennedy tragedy.
He would make no definite statement
in this respect, however.
Rumors have been current for
some time in police circles that too
much evidence" was coming to light.
Deputy Sheriff Bright will leave
today for Evanston, ILL.,, to bring
back with him a mystery witness who
will testify against Madalynne and
Arthur Burch, according to Under
Sheriff Biscailus.
Biscailus refused to reveal the
identity of the witness or the nature
of the testimony which he will give.
Bright will also spend some time
cooperating with the Chicago and
Evanston authorities in investigation
of the past lives of Madalynne and
Burch with view to gathering data
concerning the possible motive for
the killing of Kennedy to be used
in the trial.
He also plans to interview H. M.
Bartlett, former justice Of the peace
at Evanston, who was quoted to the
effect that he had seen Burch. at
the time he was leaving Evanston
for Los Angeles, carrying q shotgun
case among his baggage.

DISARMAMENT

Since Fr0SlQ0uC f1dTOluS issued his
invitation to the principal nations
for an International conference on
the question of disarmament, states
men and diplomats are giving very
serious thought to that very import
ant question in the interest of peace
among nations.
1t may be of interest to know that
the convention called to meet at
Washington, November 18th, will not
be the first of its kind to consider
disarmament as q means of peace
among Independent states.
History tells us that all the Greek
states met in Sparta, in the year 371
B. c., to establish an Hellenic peace
These states had been waring among
themselves for many years, and be-
coming tired Of war, they called q
convention in the interest of peace
to form a treaty on the basis of local
independence and equal rights. This
convention resolved to accept peace
on the following terms: "the with
drawal of harmosts military COVER
ners) from the cities, the disbanding
or ornaments, naval and military,
and the guarantee Of independence
to the states. II any state trans
crossed these stipulations, 1t lay in
the option OF any power Whatsoever
to aid the states so injured, while
conversely, to bring such aid was
not compulsory on any power against
its will" Trouble arose over the
ratification to this treaty, and his
tory does not say what progress, II
any, was made towards disarming.
The terms of the guarantee in the
above treaty sound very much like
some of the guarantees in the treaty
of Versailles or rather the League of
Nations.
It is to be hoped that the coming
convention will find some way of
forming treaty providing for dis
armament in the interest of world
peace that will be effective. Dis
armament will not, Of itself, be q
complete guarantee against war so
long as national ambition and COM
mercial jealousy exists among ma
tions, but it will go a long way to-
wards postponing and eliminating
wal.
The greatest blessing to the world
to be expected from disarmament,
besides reducing wars, would be the
relief to the great nations of the
earth of the enormous expense of
men and money in maintaining their
military and naval preparedness for
war. This great burden of expense
is mounting higher all the time, and
has reached such proportions that
the ordinary resources Of nations
cannot meet it. The cost of war
preparedness to the great nations is
much greater than all the other ex-
penses Of government combined. Let
the nations be relieved from this
crushing burden and the energy of
men and money be returned to peace
full pursuits, and there will be the
greatest uplift and prosperity the
world has ever known.
