MAILED FIST
Of Lumber Barons Replaces
Wartime Honey Words

Seattle.--Lumber barons of the
northwest have discarded their COM
pany unions" and plant councils. The
velvet glove and ''hand of fellowship"
used during the war by them is now
replaced by the mailed fist.
The lumber barons have slashed
wages and are enforcing the 10-hour
day. Officers of the International
Union of Timber Workers warned
lumber workers almost continuously
of their dangtr.
In their latest bulletin, the unions
officials say:
During the war and since the lum-
ber owners have been handing out
their oily promises to the workers.
In one breath they talked of co-opera-
tion and peace. In the next they pre-
pared for war.
After all, it is not a matter of
what the employers will or will not
do. 1t is not matter of strength of
their organizations or what they hope
to accomplish with them. 1t is a mat
ter of what the workers will or will
not do. 1t is matter of the strength
of our organization and what we car
hope to accomplish with it.
"The workers cannot hope to save
the eight-hour day without organiza.
ton; they cannot hope to protect the
interests of those who are dependen,
upon them for support; they cannot
hope to retain their own self respect
| without organization.
"The one thing that is needed nov
above all other things is strong or
ganiZation.
"Do not listen to the slippery prom
ises of the employers. Do not lister
to the bought and paid for argument!

lumbremen, the shop committees

SPLIT ON COAST
RATE PLEAS Of
ROADS ADVISED
Examiner Would Grant
Cheaper Long Haul in
Some Commodities.

Washington. April 15-Proposals OF
transcontienntal railroads to modify
present freight schedules in Rocky
mountain and Pacific coast territory,
to meet water competition in coast-to
coast and coast-to gulf trade were ex-
haustively analyzed Saturday in re-
port made to the interstate commerce
commission by Examiner Disaue, who
recommended that the roads apphca-
tions be rejected in part but granted in
several particulars.
The report, if accepted by the COM
mission will guide final decisions fixing
the new status of rates.
On the main proposal, by which rail
roads seek to establish lower rates
from eastern producing territory to
Pacific coast ports than they maintain
from the same points of origin to Spo-
kane. Salt Lake City, Reno and other
cities in the inter- mountain territory.
the examiner proposed that the commits
sion deny the necessary authority. I'm
der the long and short haul clause of
the Interstate commerce act. such rate
standards may not be established by
railroads without commission approval,
and the examiner held that the com
mission was not yet able to show the
sea carriers had affected the traffic
situation sufficiently to Justify an ex-
ception.
Favorable recommendation. however,
was given on railroad applications for
power to grant the lower rates to
%
Louisiana and on coffee moving through
Galveston and New Orleans On east
bound traffic on wool from Pacific
coast ports it also was recommended
hat the carriers be allowed to give
over rates than on wool shipments
o the same destinations from inland
POINTS, and the single application of the
southern Pacific line for the right to
make similar adjustment ON canned
FOODS shipped eastward from Califor-
ria territory was likewise approved.
