WIN EIGHT-HOUR DAY

Seattle.-The international Union
of Timber Workers has won it's eight
hour fight at Weed, CAL, and at Kia-
math Falls, Ore. These movements
have been on during the entire year.
The Klamath Falls timber bosses
were ungracious enough to publicly
state that they voluntarily restored
the eight-hour day." despite the fact
that they were soundly licked in an
attempt to establish the long work
day.
''The winning of this strike means
much more to the workers of the
northwest than immediate gains to
those directly involved" union off,
cials declare.
''The lumber lords cannot success
fully defeat workers who are properly
organized. 1t also means that work
ers have again been impressed with
the fact that complete and proper or
ganization is the only safeguard for
the present; their only hope for the
future"

HODCARRIERS
ORGANIZE
Union Formed Through Eff
forts of Organizer Ogg

Hamilton has new union. 1t will
be known as Hod Carriers, Building
and Common Laborers' Union of
America. The membership will en-
brace all hod carriers and building
common laborers of the city
The new union was formed at the
labor temple Monday by Stanley Ogg,
American Federation of Labor organ
izer for this district. Organizer Ogg
was assisted in forming this organi-
zation by Herman Perpingon, busi-
ness agent of the Carpenters Union,
and Morris Mostow, president of the
Bricklayers' Union.
The new union started off with a
membership of sixteen, and it is ex-
pected within very short time that
every member of the craft will be
enrolled, as these workers have real
lied for long time that the only
way that they will get their just dues
is through organization.
The following are the first officers
of the new union: President, Robert
Smith; vice president, Steve Borgess.;
financial secretary, Richard H. Woods;
recording secretary, Robert Carr;
corresponding secretary, Mack Beard;
treasurer, Lon Reese; sergeant-at-
arms. Chas. Asper: guard, James
Asper.

MANY ACRES RE-
CLAIMED

Washington the last 20
years the reclamation service has fur
nished 1,675,000 acres of former arid
land in the west with complete water
supply, according to the annual re-
port of Director Davis, of the recla-
nation service. In the same period
about 100000 acres in private pro-
jects has received a supplemental
supply.
These activities have really added
another state to the Union, with agri-
cultural products equal to that of the
state of West Virginia or the COM
bined value of the crops of Vermont
and Connecticut.
This is one of the government activ-
tiles that ship subsidy advocates claim
is identical to their plan of lining the
purse of private ship owners.

EDUCATION COSTLY

Washington. - The education OF
children today is of a different type
than 80 years ago, said United States
Commissioner of Education Tigert in
his education-week statement.
"Sixty-eight per cent of all the chill
dren in the country never reach high
school, and it is rare that any science
worth the name is taught below high
school. This means that two-thirds of
the children of our nation are growing
up with little or no practical or the
oretical knowledge of modern science.
This is menace to our national pro-
gress and it is great injustice to our
children, since there is no subject
which so frees and enlightens the hu-
man spirit as the study of science.
"We still know very little about the
laws of the human mind, and little
about the art of social communication.
The school, through its study of the
psychology of children and of intelli-
gence tests, is only just beginning a

ers who have deserted the union" as
they "have felt no immediate need of
protection against industrial radical
ism"
Officers of the bona fide union of
timber workers remind workers of the
claim by trade unionists that the em-
ployers would throw over the loyal
legion when it served their purpose
to prevent organization.
"These employers are not concern
ed with the l. w. w. They are as
sured from another source that the
/. w. w. will be stakenlcare Of These
employers have used the loyal legion
as a tool. 1t is now worn out and
they discard it,"

GRANGE OPPOSES SUB.
SIDY

Wichita, Kan.-Opposition to sub
sidy legislation was registered by the
national grange at its annual session
in this city. The resolution declares:
eff, upon investigation, it is found
that the American merchant marine
is handicapped in its operation by
present conditions and wars, then the
grange favors revision of the inves-
tigation laws rather than government
aid through a ship subsidy"

ILLITERACY IN CAPI-
TAI

Washington.-Th are 10,190 IL
literate persons 81 years of age and
over in the nations capital, according
to Superintendent of Schools Ballou.
"They live in the capital of the most
progressive nation on earth, but civil
lization is passing them by" he said.
The educator stated that the pub
lie schools reach very few illiterates,
because ga man or woman who has
never attended school does not volun-
tarily enter school after he is grown.
He is timid and awkward and ashamed
when he does enter"

OPPOSE EQUALITY
PLAN

Washington.-Re of a
dozen women's organizations have
declared against the equality
amendment to the federal constitu-
ton proposed by the national wo-
mans party. The opponents declare
the plan is vague and that it would
annul all legislation beneficial to
working women. The American Fed
Grafton of Labor also opposes the
amendment, which is favored by
those who are,in the main, econom-
ically independent, and who talk in
abstract terms on the need for plac-
ing both sexes on an equal plane.

piece of work which should be of the
greatest social value to the nation.
For such work research departments
are needed in the public schools.
Such departments exist in any mod
ern business. They exist for the
study of agriculture and of animals.
Is it too much to ask that such re-
search be established for the more
thorough study of the science of rear
ing our children?"

POTTERS' STRIKE OFF

East Liverpool, Ohio.-The nation

resentatives of the National Brother

The strike was caused by an attempt
to reduce wages, following the ex-
