que has sent out call to its local

support of the movement.

Christian Association, the National
League of Women Voters, and the
General Federation of Women's
Clubs, have been asked to join in

Scab Ship Returns

New York, June AFTER cover
ing 800 miles of her voyage to
South America, the big Munson
liner, Huron, was forced to return
to this city with 140 passengers.
Because of the marine engineers
seamens strike, the ship was man.
ned by strikebreakers and the cap
tain feared to risk passengers and
cargo.
The Huron's return is proof, trade
unionists declare, that strike break
ers are not competent to hold Ii
censes issued to them by the gov
ernment. Only recently the steam
er Pocahontas cleared from Boston,
but was towed back to port by a
revenue cutter. Ship owners are
giving little publicity to these in
cidents, which endanger life and
property.
The strike was caused by a re-
fusal to accept wage reductions and
lowering of working conditions
that would destroy the seamen's
act.

Governor Calls
Tax Conference

State of Washington, Office of
Governor, Olympia, June 8, 1921.
To County Commissioners, City
Commissioners and Councilmen,
School Directors, Port District Com
missioners, Members Metropolitan
Park Boards and Township Off
GERS:
Gentlemen: | am firmly convinced
that the fundamental principle in
taxation is equalization of tax bur-
den; and that the matter of high
taxes and low taxes has little if
anything, to do with systems of
taxation.
Every Government. State and
governmental agency having the au-
thority to dispense public funds and
power to levy taxes, is controlled
in fixing the amount of its tax
levy by the amount of funds neces-
sary to defray the expenses. In
other words, the only way to re-
duce taxes is to reduce public eX-
penditures.
With our many new government
tai functions and numerous dis
bursting and tax levying agencies,
the tax burden in this State has
become almost unbearable.
With a view of striking at the
root of this matter, | desire to
meet in conference with all of you,
or your selected representatives, at
the Executive Office in Olympia at
100 o'clock p. m. on Monday,
June 20, 1921, in an endeavor to
eliminate the unnecessary expense
and particularly all avoidable eX-
penditures from next years budget,
so that every County, City, School
District and other tax levying
agency may be able to make some
reduction in the levy for next years
taxes.
We are striving in this State to
eliminate expenditures so as to in
sure very material decrease in the
State General Fund tax levy; and
if we can make a corresponding de-
crease in all of the tax levies we
may be able to satisfy the public
that their confidence in US has not
been misplaced and that we are re-
sponsive to. public demands.
Sincerely trusting that a goodly
number. may be able to meet me in
Olympia on Monday, the goth inst,
| am,
Sincerely yours,
LOUIS F. HART,
Governor.

WEBSTER
MAKES 'EM
TOTE FAIR

Spokane, June 7.-Supcrior Judge
X. NJ. Webster last Thursday de
MED the application of the Spokane
Bakery and other "open shop" bak
cries for an injunction to restrain
the bakers union from circulating
literature and cards in the city stat
ing that the open shop bakeries are
unfair to organized labor.
Although the profit press of the
entire Northwest previous to this
court action had carried news stor-
les which gave the master bakers
version of the attack on the unions
here in an effort TO reduce wages, ,
Judge Webstcrs' denial of an in
junction application did not appear
in the papers of the Northwest
The news was either not carried on
the press wires or was carefully
destroyed in the newspaper Offices
at would be unfair to the union
men to prevent them from pre-
scntng their side of the contro-
vcrsy to the public" said Judge
Webster.
"The plaintiffs, through adver-
tisements in newspapers, have Civ
en- their side of the affair and the
union men should be given their
opportunity.
"If there had been any evidence
that the union men had picketed
the premises of the plaintiffs, in
terfered or threatend the plaintiffs
employees or gathered in crowds
about the plaintiffs places of bust
ness, such acts would be unlawful
and an injunction could be granted.
In this case, however, | find there
is no evidence of acts of this kind
81 do not think the courts should
tie the hands of the union and at
the same time let the plaintiffs go
free to spread their side of the
controversy.
There is also another side to
the question. The evidence shows
there are a number Of union bak-
cries in this city. They certainly
have a right to compete with the
non-union bakeries for business. AS
long as the competition is peaceful
it is my opinion that the courts
should not take sides in such con-
troversies."

EVERETT MILL WORK ERS'
STRIKE E
Seattle, Wash, June l, 1921
l. 4. 80, %

Seattle, Wash, June l, 1921.
To Affiliated Locals, international
Union of Timberworkers.
The wage reduction of 60 cents
per day that was agreed to by the
Board of Directors of the Loyal
Legion was made effective in many
mills and camps in the Northwest
on June i.
The workers in three mills at
Everett, Washington, refused to ac-
cert the cut and went on strike.
This office was Immediately notl-
fled and President Canterbury OF
ON International and President Win
liam M. Short of the Washington
State Federation of Labor went to
Everett and held large meeting
on the afternoon of June 1st. There
were fully 500 of the strikers pres
ent. Another meeting was held in
the evening and a new local of
timberworkers was organized with
a large charter list. The workers
in Everett figure that $500 per day
will not give them chance to
get the bare necessities OF life, TO
say nothing of a decent living.
This protest on the part of the
Everett workers is the result of a
succession of wage reductions that
have taken the wages of the So
called common laborer down from
$3.50 per day to $500 per day, or
about 56 per cent in total reduc-
tions. The employers say: I'VE
know that you can't live on $500
per day, but be reasonable, reduce
your expenses, etc,
Having struck, the Everett work
ers next did the only sensible thing
that they could do-they organized,
and every effort will be made on
the part of the local union and the
International to organize every
timber worker in Everett.

THEY LIED OUT
AN INJUNCTION

The Seattle Union Record Of
Wednesday said:
The fight of the marine unions
against the granting of a perma-
nent injunction restraining them
from picketing the waterfront was
reopened in the federal court at
8 o'clock Wednesday morning. A
decision is expected either Wednes-
day or Thursday.
Declaring that the marine unions
are not corporations, as alleged in
the information filed by the district
attorneys office, and that the ship
ping board is not properly a gov
crnment auxiliary, but is an individ-
ual corporation operated for profit,
George Turner, injunction expert
and attorney for the Seamen's
Union, opened a brilliant argument
before Judge jeremiah Neterer in
the federal court Tuesday during the
legal battle of the unions against
an injunction.
The simple fact that the unions
are not corporations is a bar to the
granting of an injunction, said
Turner.
II don't see how an injunction
can be granted against corpora
tion that is not a corporation he
declared.
Affidavits presented by the gov
ernment which alleged that trou-
bles on the waterfront were caused
by disorderly striking seamen were
attacked by Turner, who cOuntered
with affidavits from seamen and
union officials showing that pick
citing was conducted in an orderly
manner A statement made by a
watchman at the Admiral Line pier
who asserted that union seamen
were involved in a revolver duel was
refuted by an affidavit sworn to
by local business man.
Another affidavit made by a sea-
man named Booth, employed on the
freighter West Jappa, in which he
declared that he was taken forcibly
to the headquarters of the seamen's
union and insulted and browbeaten
by union officials was discredited in
a counter affidavit sworn to by
members and officials of the union.
