CHANGE
IN CONSTITUTION

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. ga
change of the constitution Of the
Portland Labor Council, which will
abolish the pay of one of the two full
time officers. is a possibility as the
result Of step taken this week. A
committee was appointed to make
recommendations on amendments to
the constitution. the recommends
tions to be submitted to the council at
the next meeting, January 8.
The motion authorizing the com
mittee did not limit the amendment to
that part Of the constitution fixing the
salaries of the officers, but it was
made following a suggestion that such
a step be taken, and IL is generally ac-
cepted that a recommendation of this
nature will be made. Other changes
may also be advised.
There is some sentiment for abol-
ishing the wages Of the council presi
dent and requiring Of that official
only that he preside at meetings. In
such case the secretary would be
given executive powers, and would be
the only official to give his full time
to the council work
Others favoring the plan Of reduc-
ing the pay Of the secretary to a
rather nominal amount and requiring
of him only the keeping Of the min
utes and possibly the handling Of
correspondence. II this course is ta-
ken the president will give his fun
time to labor matters and viii be re-
tanned at full time pay.

MINERS CHILDREN ;
ENJOY CHRISTMAS
Estate Federation Bulletin.

SEATTLE. Dec. 27.-The Christmas
celebration for the children of the
striking miners of the state seems to
have proved a huge success at each
of the striking camps, as is evidenced
by the letters of appreciation that
have been mailed into federation head
quarters, all OF which express sincere
gratitude to the workers of the state
and the committee in charge for the
splendid results obtained.
One of the messages received from
Black Diamond is typical Of those com
ing from all of the other camps, and
is herewith quoted:
I'VE wish to acknowledge receipt
of your letter of the 10Th and wish to
thank you and the comittee for the
generous supply OF nuts, candy and
presents that were sent the striking
miners children for Christmas.
"The Christmas donations, including
the entertainment, proved a huge sue
cess and pleased the hearts Of every
striking miners child.
Therefore, I'm behalf of Local I'm
ion No. 2257 we again wish to thank
you and all the committee and the
workers of the state for the wonderful
work you have accomplished in glad
dening the hearts of all the miners
kiddies.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year, we remain,
"Fraternally yours,

SUFFER
HEAVY LOSSES THRU
FAULTY EQUIPMENT

The Glass l railroads paid almost a
quarter Of a billion dollars for their
labor policy during July, August and
September alone, according to an ar
ticle by Evans Clark Of the Labor Blu
reau, which will appear in the Nation
of December 27. This was due, Mr..
Clark claims, to enormous increases in
transportation costs and maintenance
and equipment expenses during the
ship strike, and to the failure Of the
roads to meet exceptional traffic de-
mands because of inadequate equip
meEt.
Citing returns to the Interstate
Commerce Commission from Class
railroads for July, August and septem-
Der, the article shows that increased
operating expense pushed net operat-
ing revenue down to $4S.00O,000 be-
low the June level. $S,OO0,OO0 In possi-
BILE revenue was lost because of the
record breaking car shortage, $685.
100000 more that should have been
gained through the heavy lumber
traffic, but the railroads lost this sum
through inability to meet this demand.
Actual Wages Higher.
To illustrate the increased operating
expense Mr.. Clark cites examples:

precipitated the strike, actual wages

NATIONAL PROGRESSIVE CONFERENCE
IN FAVOR OF NON-PARTSAH POLICY

National Conference for Progressive Political Action
which recently held its convention Cleveland has been the
subject of much press comment and great deal Of msnfoma

of the nonparsan policy that had been pursued conjunction
with that of the American Federation of Labor that the dec
sion practically unanimous continue the policy,
and organize the forces thoroughly throughout the nation
for continued progressive political action
There has been much reaconary propaganda
effort bate labor into launching radical national third
party which would separate it from the other progressive
forces of the nation and by thus dividing the progressive
forces stem the progressive tide and insure reaconary VIC
tory in 1924 The labor representatives through the trick
cry decided that unless reaconary should be nominated
president by parties
would be given the question of launching third independent
party this timean eventuay that hardly likely

with the other prOgressives will be able to materially nflu
not control the nomination of either both Of the
old parties
