MORRISON VISITS
SEATTLE, SPOKANE
tstate Federation nuIletlnl


Seattle, Wash, Dec. 20.-Frank Nor
rison of the American Federation Of
Labor, was a very welcome visitor at
Seattle and Spokane this week. He
was accompanied by W. ]. Spencer of
the building trades department of the
American Federation of Labor. and
they had both been visiting at Port
land. making preliminary arrange
Iments for the next American Fedora
tion of Labor convention which will be
held in Portland next October.
Brothers Morrison and Spencer
were the guests of Seattle trades un-
ionists at big MONDAY luncheon at
Boldt's Third Avenue restaurant last
Saturday, where over 100 representa-
tives and trades unionists were as
sembled to listen to brief addresses
by the two visitors. Mr.. Morrison
spoke at some length on the labor sit
uation, nationally, and declared his
belief that when the new congress Is
assembled that, due to the tremen-
dous victory won by labors friends,
much progressive labor legislation
can be hoped for. He pointed out
that the nonpartisan policy OF the
American Federation of Labor had
been thoroughly vindicated in the
election, where the greatest single
victory ever won by the workers had
been achieved. He pointed out very
forcibly the fallaey Of any third party
movement at this time.
He also discussed the amalgamation
OF kindred organizations and pointed
ont that for the past 81 years the
American Federation had been com
mitted to such a policy, but also
pointed out that the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor could not force
amalgamation, but welcomed 1t as
rapidly as the unions involved could
agree to amalgamatiUn.
He was given a rousing reception
bx his hearers and spent the after
noon In consultation with the print,
ing trades unions, Of which b is a
member. and in meeting old friends
He adressed the Newsboys' union of
Seattle Sunday afternoon, and left for
Spokane on Sunday night where he
was billed to address an open meet
ing of the Spokane Central Labor
council on Monday night, before con-
tinuing his journey home to reach
Washington before Christmas.
Mr.. Spencer of the building trades
department stayed behind to attend to
building trade matters at Seattle, but
also will leave in time to reach his
home in Washington by Christmas.
Mr.. Spencer is one of the most popu-
lar men in the Yhole American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor and his visit to Seat
tie was as heartily received as that of
Secretary Morrison, and a great deal
Of good has been accomplished by the
visit Of both distinguished leaders.

GOVERNMENT AIDS
ANT|-UNION ROADS

The attitude of government agen-
cies toward the attempt to smash the
shopmen's unions is indicated by this
editorial in the Machinists' Monthly
Journal:
Little or no pretense is made by
these railroads to observe the federal
inspection laws. and apparently the
Interstate Commerce Commission in
tends to make no move to compel OBJ
servance of the law.
"A fair example of the attitude of
the l. c. c. is found on large eastern
road whose motive power is in a de-
plorable state. Complaint was filed
with the commission that this road
was using locomotives which we're al
most ready for the scrap heap. In
spectors made an investigation and
blue tagged engine after engine.
"An engine bearing a locomotive
engine inspectors blue tag is supposed
to be taken from service until re-
paired, and 1t is a criminal offense for
one unauthorized to do so to remove
one of these tags. Yet the inspectors
had scarcely left the premises of this
road when the tags were removed and
the engines put back into service, en-
dangering the lives of not only the
employees in charge of them. but of the
public as we'll
Despite this fact, the l. c. C.
makes no move to prosecute the Off
cials responsible for this state of af-
fairs. Protests to the commission
against its Indifference to the situation
are unaVailing and it is evident the
railroads are going to be permitted to
do as they please, which, after all. is
not unusual"

(state Federation BuIIetlnJ

Seattle, WASH, Dec. 20.-The re-
sponse of the trades unionists of the
state to the appeal sent out by the
with which to provide Christmas cheer
for the striking miners children has
been generous and a sufficient amount
has been obtained with which to am
ply provide for their needs in the way
Of candy, nuts, oranges and toys. Ap-
proximately $500 children are involved
and shipments have been made by
truck to each striking camp in King
and Pierce counties, while supplies
for outlying camps are being sent by
rail.
Local committees in each camp are
making the stockings from material
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 sufficient surplus to insure
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 Christmas trees, decora-
tions, ETC.. in shape, and joyous pro-
gram is to be provided.
The trades union movement Of the
state, generally, has responded very
literally to the appeal, and on behalf
of the families of the striking miners
the committee in charge is extending
sincere thanks to all contributors who
made possible the happy Christmas
that has now been provided for in all
of the striking coal camps of the state.

NORTHWEST SPENDS
MILLIONS FOR PORK

Pullman, Wash, Dec. 2O.-That $5,-
100000 was spent last year for pork
shipped into Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma
and Portland-295,OO 900 head of hogs
from the corn belt states and Califor-
MIA, was the statement of ]. M. Hub
bard, livestock specialist for the ex-
tension service of the State College of
Washington, addressing the eleventh
annual conference of extension staff
workers. The first ten months OF this
year the sum has increased to $780,
900 for 100000 head which might cas-
lily have been grown on Washington
farms. Mr.. Hubbard's remedy is a
brood sow on every farm, a ton of
pork to the litter, farrowed in March
and April and marketed the middle of
September
The following plan for promotion of
livestock work was suggested: Sign
the government pledge; organize a
community contest upon signing the
pledge; get the banks to put up prizes.

LABOR LEGISLATION
WANTED HWORKERS
Estate Federation sulIstln)

Seattle, Wash, Dec. 21.-A can
vass of the Industrial centers OF the
state just completed by the president
of the State Federation eh Labor
shows the workers of Washington q
unit in demanding that the coming
session Of the state legislature give
proper consideration to their needs,
which will be presented through the
legislative program adopted at the last
convention of the State Federation Of
Labor. Particular attention Is being
paid to the needs of amending the
workmen's compensation law to pro-
vide for substantial Increases in all
awards and plans are being perfected
for action in this connection.
Mark q. Reed Of Shelton, one of
the leaders Of the state legislature,
land probably the next speaker of the
house, has already publicly declared
that the awards should be amended by
providing for at least a $3.50 increase
However, the federation contends that
the lowest minimum that could be
considered by the workers Of the state
would be a flat 50e6 increase in the
awards with increases in some Of the
awards necessitating 1900 increase.
Legislation on the subject is in the
course of preparation and will be pre-
sented to the state legislature and a
vigorous fight made on its behalf
This is true of the other important
legislation provided for in the fedora
tion's legislative program.
The federation head, on his tour
through Eastern washington, found
the labor movement Of Spokane and
vicinity in excellent condition and
plans being formulated there for car
rying ahead the work Of their move
ment, while at Walla Walla and Yak
ina lack Of employment in these two
cities had created a serious condition
that all were agreed would be relieved
when the spring opened. Aberdeen
and Southwest Washington were
found to be in good condition with
all trades at Aberdeen practically 100
per cent organized and moving rap
idly ahead.
The general trend Of the trades un-
ion movement of the state is forgcrd,
and a marked increase in the member
saiu of many unions has been obtained
and all indications point to the fast
,hap when spring opens the labor
jrement of the state win be In a
r, r,;4onably prosperous condition. The
Success won in the state OF Washing

election has LAD a strong belss:ciai

Pullman, Wash, Dec. 20. - That
grading and standardization are the
means by which farmer will make
most Of his gains in marketing his
product. was stressed by Prof. e. r.
Dummeier, economist Of the State
College of Washington, addressing the
eleventh annual conference Of Exten-
sion Service Staff there.
Fundamentals Of economic market
ing, according to Prof. Dummeier, are
efficient management, adequate f.
nanees, volume Of business, methods
Cor plan Of distributiOn). and quantity
Of production.
Lack Of finances, he said, was the
cause of failure Of many Of the coop
erative marketing schemes. It takes
big sums to swing commodity market
ing.
First standardize. then get the COM
modify up to carload lots, and the mar
keting costs viii be cut down enor-

There has been considerable crit
icism of the county authorities lately
because white prisoners were allowed
to stay comfortably in the Jail, while
the colored had to go out and work
on the roads. The reason for this has
been that the county has only one
cage for prisoners, and as the law de-
mands that white and colored men be
housed in different cages at night, and
there were seldom more than two to
five white men among the county con-
victs, it would not pay the county to
buy another cage for them, or employ
another guard to look after them. On
the other hand it was urged that il
was an injustice both to the taxpay-
ers and the negroes to let white mer
rest comfortably in Jail, while the ne,
groes were worked on the roads. The
Star is informed that now, since the
county has an engineer, the commits.
sioners intend to purchase another
cage and send the white men out with
the others, so any Migrants from the
north expecting to spend comfort
able winter in this county had better
instead give it wide berth.

"The people Of Marion county are
giving much attention to the planting
of orange and grapefruit groves -
says the Gainesville Sun. Marion used
to be fine orange-growing county.
And so was Alachua. The "big
freeze" was allowed to discourage the
growers in thosescounties and they let
the industry drop. The, Sun advises
the planting of orange and other cit
rus fruits again. 1t is we'll known
that the horticulturists have discov-
cred and proved that certain kinds of
stock are harder than others, and the
orange and grapefruit trees now be-
ing put out would not be killed, even
if such weather as the "big freeze
produced came again. "People of the

north and northwest think of oranges
when they think of Florida" adds the
Sun, and really there is no good rea-
sen why Alachua and Marion should
not again raise plenty of the golden
fruit.-Times-Un Short Talks.
"Short Talks" and the Sun mean
well, but the Star cannot understand
where they obtained the idea that
Marion county ever went out of or
ange culture 1t is true that for a
few years after the big freeze, until
groves could be replanted and brought
into bearing, there were not many or
anges shipped out of Marion, but or
ange culture has never ceased. Ten
years after the freeze there were
many fine groves and heavy shipments
OF fruit, and they have steadily been
increasing, despite half a dozen minor
freezes since 1895. There were at
least six hundred thousand boxes of
oranges and grapefruit raised In
Marion last season, and this years
crop promises to be greater.

EIGHT YEARS AGO

Nov. p, 1914.-Up to date, the Ger
man armies have lost more than a
million men killed and missing. On
the western front, beginning with the
invasion off France and Belgium, the
Germans steadily moved forward I'M
til stopped Sept. 6-13. Driven back
a considerable distance, the exhaustion
of the Allies enabled them to rest and
recruit, and again resume the offens-
i've. In this battle going on now two
months, they gradually lost ground
and many men, but the Allies also
lest heavily. This date finds the Ger
mans in possession of almost tenth
of France and all Belgium except a
small tract at the extreme eastern
corner. The two armies by this time
were entrenched from Switzerland to
the North Sea, tho the trenches were
not of as permanent character as
they became later, and the line chang
ed at some point every day, as one
side or the other gained. At this date
the Allies are on the defensive all
along the line, with the Germans max
ing desperate efforts in Flanders and
the Argonne region, but steadily re-
pulsed with heavy losses.
On the eastern front at this time
the Russians had much. the best of it
having repulsed the Gesmans and
Austrians at every point and advanc-
ed far into Silesia and Galicia. The
Russians had lost most heavily in
killed and wounded, but on the other
hand they had captured hundreds OF
thousands of Austrians, who they
sent so far back into their vast en-
pire that many gave up hope of home
and settled down among the Russians
To the south, after almost foul
months of fighting, the Austrians hat
not made any gains over the Serbs
and their navy was shut up in AID
riatic harbors by the Allied fleet.
|. On the ocean, nearly all the Ger
man commerce destroyers had beer
run down and sunk by British ant
Japanese cruisers, or compelled tt
intern in neutral harbors. The small
German feet which defeated a great
ly inferior British squadron off tn
coast of Chile, was approaching tn,
Falklands, where it was soon to b.
} annihilated by a superior British
naval force.

sent out warships to clear the Pacifi
of all German ships.

very popular and numbers her friends
by her acquaintances.

ming along smoothly, but believe me
they are going some. The school will
entertain next Friday night with a
minstrel. Admission, Csc. and 10c
The proceeds will go to the school
Everybody is invited to attend. They
will serve refreshments just after the
performance. This play will certain
lv be a mouth-spreader and side

The Fellowship basketball team
will play the Williston basketball
team next Friday at the Fellowship
grounds. The game will be called a

The numerous Marion county
friends of Malcolm r.. Williams, now
of Gainesville, who visited the A1ach-
ua county fair, of which he was man.
ager this year, are unanimous in the
opinion that he made good and the
people of that fine county backed him
up. A representative of the Star
visiting Gainesville during the fair
was we'll pleased at the fine display of
agricultural products, cattle, hogs and
poultry, and the large collection of
household exhibits, all showing great
resources and industry and skill in
bringing them out. The horse races
were frstrate, and drew large crowds.
There was plenty of amusement, the
Barkoot carnival supplying all kinds
of entertainment. The Alachua fair
like that of Marion grows better ev-
cry year.

Sumter county in this state is get
ting back into the business of grow
ing citrus fruits, having sent to mar
ket this week the first carload of or
anges it has produced since the big
freeze of 1894-5. Since the invention
of grove heaters and the perfection of
the harder types of oranges, there
seems to be no reason why oranges
may not be grown even as far north
as the first two or three tiers of Geor-
gia counties.-St. Petersburg Times.
This is another display of ignorance.
There are number of fine groves in
Sumter county, and that county has
shipped many carloads of oranges ev-
cry season for the last fifteen years
or more.

Growth of the Telephone.

If the telephone calls that were put
in last year in the United States alone
had been scattered evenly about the
earth, every person in every country
would have been seven times to the
phone-every one of India's troubled
millions, of China's and of Africa's
and of the almost countless others in
every other land. The wires used in
the United States would span the dis
lance of the moon 100 times-would
circle the earth 1000. The army and
navy of the United States together
number about the same as the EN-
plOyees of the Bell telephone system
The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1922-11-21
Talk.

Nineteen billion conversations were
carried on over American telephone
wires last year. Telephone COM
p@ies having figured this out,
also find that the distance covered by
these messages was $4,000. GOO. 900
miles. Six million messenger boys,
working nine hours a day, would be
required TO deliver all the messages
that pass over the telephone wires.
Forty-six years ago there was only one
telephone belonging to Bell, its i'll
ventor. 1t was a crude device COM
pared with the phone you use today.
Perfection comes rapidly in our age.

turn a crank to attract central's atten-
ton?

Tramps.

The age of the average tramp be-
fore the war was fifty years. Now it's
thirty-two. And the 1922 model tramp
rides on auto trucks instead of freight
trains. This information is from the
renort of a New York welfare aSsOcia-
ton with name as long as Barnum' s
Cardiff giant. The association is seek
ing a way to reduce the number OF
tramps. Quickest way is to give them
the jobs they seek. Second, and i'm
possible, is TO kill the wanderlust that
exists in every human, a pSychoan
alytic complex, reaction from the dull
grind of civilization.

The Dixie Highway from Belleview
OF south is in good condition, and
travel over that route is returning to
its old-time volume. It will probably
be at least another year before the
highway will be complete thru Mar
ion county, but it will be a splendid
read when finished. 1t is the opinion
of men we'll posted on this work that
the road. from the northern to the
southern limit of the county will cost
million dollars, of which the state
will pay more than half, so the state
road department can't be accused of
not giving Marion square deal.
