sorry plight.
Mr.. Aronsberg contends that the
famine in Russia is due to the Gov
ernment and that "allied invasions
and blockades were only insignifi-
cant contributory causes" 1t would
be interesting to hear Mr.. Arons-
berg explain why millions of Poles
and Austrians and Germans had to
be fed by international charity for
months and months to keep them
from starving, exactly as the Rus
SLAMS are.
There is no more impossible per
son to reason with than furious
partisan, who sees red all the time
and is cocksure that his limited
stock of information comprises all
that is to be known about men and
nations and politics and economics.
Russia endured three years of des-
perate war as one of the Allies; then
three more years of war and block
ade waged by the Allies, whom she
had saved from early defeat; and
series of counter revolutions and in
vasions which took her best man
power from constructive work to de-
fend their country. Her railroad
equipment was worn out in military
service, and the markets in which
she might have bought equipment
were closed to her. The same drastic
measures weakened and starved
proud and powerful Germany into
subsection to her foes, and the only
wonder, in the mind of any intelli-
gent and informed man, is that
Russia has for nearly seven years en-
dured and fought and maintained
her Government and her national
territory against the same dreadful
attacks and blockades to which Ger
many and Austria succmbed in
four years.
Some members of the American
Legion are opposed to the Veterans
Preference bill. The Willard Straight
Post is unanimously against the pro-
posed measure. So other members
demand that the Willard Straight
Post be expelled from the legion
The Veterans Preference measure
may be good or bad. Many persons
are of the same mind as the Willard
Straight Post. But that makes no
great difference. What is important,
is that members of the legion should
advocate the expulsion of other
members who disagree with them
as to the merits of a political
measure. That is not democracy
That is not patriotism. That is not
American.
If the majority of the legion adopt
such tyrannical methods as that, the
organization will find itself total
failure, with no sympathy in any
quarter.
Unfortunately, too, the American.
ization Committee of the legion has
just gone on record with demand
for the suppression of free publica
tion-specifically, that the use of
the mails be denied to publications
which are unpatriotic.
The only way to decide whether
any publication was or was not un
patriotic would be for the Post
Office Department to act as Judge
which would simply mean that every
newspaper and magazine and book
would be at the mercy of political
censorship.
The legion could be a power for
good, but it will get nowhere in that

Saw Guards Feasible.


Eve believe it entirely reasonable
and feasible to have these saws COM
pletely guarded throughout the en-
tire state within the next twelve
months. We are glad to note that
some of the firms are undertaking to
completely guard their saws at once
secured from the manufacturer said
Mr. Hughes. There are three firms
in the state at the present time who
are manufacturing these guards. All
three of these guards differ in some
minor respects, but in the main each
is thoroughly effective in eliminat-
requirements of the department in
this respect.
1.-THE safety division has proceeded
slowly and cautiously in the matter
of using it's influence to bring about
the manufacture and use Of single
saw guards that would be thoroughly
practical and effective for the pur-
pose for which they are intended, for
it is big change in this industry"
Mr.. Hughes stated. "a lot of skeptic-
ism and prejudice had to be over
come and we wanted to see the guard
made so effective and practical that
when once we started out upon its
universal use there would be no turn
ing back We feel that we have now
reached this point beyond any ques-
ton of doubt. Each field inspector is
now to be equipped with full informa-
ton concerning these guards and
where they may be obtained from
each Of the three manufacturers in
the state and we will leave it up to
the individual firm to take its choice
of any Of the three machines, each
having the approval of the depart
ment of labor and industry.
"In connection with this overhead
guard there has also been invented a
carriage guard that proves equally
effective and practical in preventing
contact with the saws.
"a single mill which burned here
in Olympia about two and one half
years ago, when rebuilt, was equip
ped throughout with overhead gurads
on each of it's main single saws.
This mill has six machines, running
two shifts in each twenty-four hours
and in the two years and two months
that the guards have been on these
saws there have been no injuries due
to accidents on the saws"

Tumwater, Wash, July 81


Editor Olympia Standard:
note in this mornings Olympian
that Mayor c. H. Bowen undertakes
to side-step his action of Tuesday
night when he declared the motion
to rescind the former action when
required the Chautauqua to pay q
daily charge of $40 for the privilege
of coming to, Olympia, was lost, by
saying he did not cast the deciding
vote but merely declared the motion
lost.
The general public has an :mpres-
sion that the Mayor has the deciding
vote in case of a tie. If this idea is
right, then I would like to suggest to
the Mayor that his decision that the
motion was lost was precisely the
same as though he had cast mega
tive vote, and in fact the declaration
by him that the motion to rescind the
former action was lost was a negative
vote, as he must, as presiding officer,
cast the deciding vote, either for or
against a motion where the vote Is
tie, and this vote is cast by making a
decision as to whether the motion Is
carried or lost.
If the Mayor had declared the mo-
ton carried it would have been
vote in favor of the motion, but as ne
declared the motion lost it was cast
ing a negative vote.
| I do not desire to enter into a con
troversy on the subject, but II thu
Mayor really does have the decld nt
vote in the case of tie, then thu
above contention must hold, and 1
he does not, then his statement, re
ferred to above, is all right, and W.
stand corrected.
l regret that the Mayor and tn
three counc.lmen felt that 1t was nee
essary to require 80 or 40 men ant
women of Olympia and vicinity t.
pay the city what is practically fin
for bringing the Chautauqua to Olym
ip.a, but the Chautauqua is coming
and, according to the action takel
Tuesday night, suppose we shall
have to pay it, but it will take a lonl
time to make us and the general pub
lie believe that it is just decision
and in fact any argument looking t
that end is really useless, for Olym
pia is the first city to require it.
Yours for the cause of education
and improvement,
, FERD. w. LEWIS,
One of the guarantors, and one OF tn
general public above referred to.

Cigar Store on East Fourth street to
o. A. Phurson and o. S. Pritchard.
The deal was closed yesterday. The
new owners have been spending
sometime looking over various loca-

that they found Olympia more to
their liking than any other city or
town. They plan to remodel and
redecorate. Mr.. Johns is not decided

tractor. to which they also agreed.
and the men commenced WORKING
direct for the ship owners and be-
came co-partners. And strikes and
holding up of the ships and demand
ing extra money all stopped and the
ships sailed on date The men shared
out the profit over and above wages,
hours, etc, and if a coal porter got
drunk or loafed on the job his mates
la d him out" The next day he
came with a black eye, but he worked.
And the whole thing worked fine-it
was industrial cooperation. And the
ship owners wanted me to lunch viii
them every day. I suggested they
should ask some of the coal porters
also. And the coal porters said they
would be there sure, but there must
be plenty of beer"
At the back of it all was the fact
that the men had "a new direct inter-
est, new voice in their daily lives,
the principle of cooperation ruled in
stead of coercion; industrial harmony
instead of industrial war We had
found our common basis of unity.
That principle is eternal the world
over. England and Ireland are get
ting together. Sim Fein and Black
and Tan soldiers are strolling side by
side in Phoenix Park, Dublin. The
United States of Europe will soon be
discussing with the United States of
America the reduction of ornaments
world wide peace, getting together,
fellowship, the teaching of the divine
master.
Surely if England and Ireland, the
United States of Europe and the
United States of America can find a
common basis of unity in the principle
of cooperation instead of war, capital
and labor of Olympia can do SO also.
Surely the word federation" means
getting together" if it means any
thing.
We boast great deal here in Amer
lea about our prohibition and of the
millions of dollars saved by cutting
out alcohol, but we have still five mil
lion workers ard their families want
| ing work and ten million wanting
homes instead of apartments. Surely
there is bad leakage somewhere. So
let us get together, find our basis of
unity for more work and better con-
ditions-co-operatio co-partnership
and fellowship, principles which are
economically and ethically and relig-
iously sound. They are call of the
Divine Carpenter, THAT they may be
one as we are one"
| So let us pass from small and petty
things to the glory of creation. To-
day the world moves. 1t is the day.
In such day fortunately above many
generations we live. May we have
faith and courage for the work to
which it calls.

Wanted-A New l rgc for Labor

The words are not mine. They are
the words of the president of one OF
the largest textile labor unions in
Philadelphia. They are very signif-
cant, "a new urge for labor" Eco
Monies alone fail. They contain no
permanent enthusiasm, no lasting in
spiration. l asked the same question
of other leaders of various trades and
nationalities. Always the same an
swer. American trade unionism needs
a new driving force. The driving
force of cooperation of co-partnership
either or both.
The power of a new found force
which will hold men and women to
their labor organization in it's darkest
hours. In times when wages are cut
and mills are closed. That power il;
the power of co-partnership or CO.
operation. The power of determin-
ing voice in the direct control of their
daily work. This is not radicalism.
it is the simplest form of common JUS
t,ce. The principle of partnership.
The mutual recognition Of this prin-
ciple will make for industrial peace
and efficiency. 1t is the best Of all
human lubricants. Once establish
these principles and the questions OF
hours, wages and the right to strike
will fall into their relative positions.
