MINERS KIDDIES
TO BE HAPPY ON
CHRISTMAS DAY

The response Of the trades union
lists Of the state to the appeal sent
out by the State Federation OF Labor
for funds with which to provide
Christmas cheer for the striking
miners children has been generous
and a sufficient amount has been
obtained with which to amply pro-
vide for their needs in the way of
candy. nuts, organes and toys. APP
proXimately $500 children are Il-
volved and shipments have been
made by truck to each striking camp
in King and Pierce counties, while
supplies for outlying camps are be-
ing sent by rail.
Local committees in each camp
are making the stockings from ma
terial shipped out to them for that
purpose by the state committee. An
allotment Of candy and mixed nuts
has been shipped to each camp in
sufficient quantity to provide a half
pound OF each and an orange for
each child with a sufficient surplus
to insure a plentiful supply for all
their needs. Toys to fit the needs
Of all ages Of children involved have
also been shipped to each striking
camp. Local committees in charge
at each camp have put the Christ
mas trees, decorations. ct cetera, in
shape, and a joyous program is to
be provided.
The trades union movement Of the
state, generally, has responded very
literally to the appeal, and on be
half of the families of the striking
miners the committee in charge is
extending sincere thanks to all con-
tributors who made possible the
happy Christmas that has now been
provided for in all the striking coal
camps of the state.

THE STORY OF
THE NEW DESK

Different times the question Of
buying a desk for the use of the
Central Labor Council secretary was
discussed at the council meetings,
till one night when all delegates were
secretary buy this piece of furnj-
spend not more than $50.
There was no happier man in Ev-
erett than Carl Leonard when this
action was taken, and he has since
that time been continually Cooking
about him. to find an article to
suit his taste, and the new office.
Fred Overman, always willing to
help for good cause. was looking
about, like Carl. and found a desk
at a very low price. When he men
toned the low price the Council
gave him the clear field. CarIs eN-
pectations ran higher. his ideal was
nearing reality. So one day last
week he was told the desk pur-
chased by Fred had arrived.
He engaged the fastest means of
transportation to reach the Labor
Temple. but alas when he arrived
he could not see the desk.
However. the desk was there. and
the reason Carl did not see it at
once was its lttleness. 1t took much
time to convince Carl Leonard that
the desk was there and at last he
took it for granted.
Several others interested i'm the
Central Councils desk have tried to
find it in the office and in order to
avoid arguments about this piece Of

kind, whose membership list is not
open to public inspection. Secrecy
of membership should be considered
as the prime evidence that the OBJ
iects of the organization are lille
gitimate or criminal. And masks
should be abolished, or their wearers
licensed like automobiles and dogs.
Robbers wearing masks are put in
Jail. Why not Klansmen?
Most of US are much disappointed
to find how little our influence
amounts to when we try to use it.
That's you and me.

LAME DUCKS
If President Harding can't find
jobs in the government service for
all the Republican Lame Ducks
Judge Lands or Will Hays for old
associations sake may take them
on in the big league or the movies.
They ought to hit the old apple at
a good clip. They sure could hit the
public while in public office. They
ought to make good actors for the
movies; they sure acted while in
office, and when it comes to shed
ding tears they should be able to do
so, without recourse to glycerine.
1t is sure a funny world after all.

Clemenceau said on his departure

SENSE AND HUMOR
By CARL LEONARD
Howdy, Folks?
FRANCE DOES NOT WANT WAR
INDIVIDUALS WANT IT

Indy lDU ALS w AN L IL
The American press admits that
the French people do not want war,
and do not want to seize German
territory; want only peace, security
and happiness. But the French ma
ton, like other republics, is not gov
erned by her people, but by the fl
nancial and manufacturing interests.
And past history will show that Pom
cair, premier of France, delegate
from that nation to the Reparation
Conference, that he for years was
a representative of the great finan-
cial interests of France, including
the manufacturers of ammunition.
like to ask how long will the people
waste their lives, their homes, their
happiness in the balance of business
interests? How long will they toll
crate men of the "Tiger" type, ad-
vocates of war with all its horrors,
all its sufferings and misery How
long?
One of England's famous novelists
said at the outbreak of the World
war that life was but a miserable
struggle for a little something to
eat. a little clothes, and a little hap
piness. And stated that the rescue
from this miserable condition was
war. Although agree with the
writer that life is but miserable
struggle, the relief will never be
found in wars, but in perfect organ
ization of the brotherhood of man.
Lets work for such!"
HOODED AMERICA
The activities of the Klan, or bet
ter known as the XXX, calls for
legislation to curb the moves and
deeds of this un-American organiza-
tion And | believe this will be
logical, sensible and constitutional
attack upon an organization as un-
constitutional as their night riding
methods.
And then it will be far more SEN
sible and effective than the threats
and procedure of a few high Off
cials.

should incorporate their name to, or
