ENGLISH COURT SYSTEM

Santa Ana Register: 1t goes against
the grain for Americans to admit that
| foreigners anywhere do anything better
THAN we do. Nevertheless we are
lbound to admit, in our modest moments,
that we are not supreme in quite every
lthing. Court procedure, for instance.
The visit Of Chief Justice Taft TO
iEngland on frank quest for improve
lments to import for the benefit Of our
Ieourts, has shaken the American pub
lie out of it's eemplacency In this re-
spect, at least. Americans have long
Regarded their system Of judicial ad-
Eministration as unsatisfactory, but 1t
Iwould not have occurred to citizens less
versed in legal history than Chief JUS
tice Taft to seek the remedy. abroad
| American and England law were one
in the beginning, and are still funda-
mentally the same, but have diverged
considerably in application. The Eng
lish have simplified the administration
of Justice while we have made it more
complex. Contrary to what might have
been expected from the character of
the two nations, they have gone in for
quick action and we have gone in for
technicality and delay.
Students Of the two, systems say that
English judges, on the whole, know
more law than American judges do,
and have, more power, and use it more
effectively. They are out of politics.
The power of the lawyers to postpone
and protect trials through technical de-
| laws is reduced to minimum. Grim
inal Justice especially is rendered with
a dispatch unknown in the United
States. ..s~
If Mr.. Taft can bring some Of these
benefits home with him, they will be
welcome. to the public.

TYPOGRAPHICAL UNIONS OF
NORTHWEST LAUNCH LABOR
DAILY AT WALLA WALLA

The Northwest Service Corporation,
which is composed of Typographical
unions of the states of Montana,
Idaho, Oregon and Washington, has
begun the publication of the Walla
Walla Daily Times, a six-day-a-week
newspaper in the city OF Walla
Walla.
The launching of this enterprise
has been undertaken by the typo
graphical unions of the northwest
for the purpose of combating an
open shop fight launched some time
ago against the printing trades
unions of that locality.
Carl S. Evans, president of the
Spokane Central Labor council and
field manager for the new enterprise.
has addressed a circular letter to all
of the unions of the state urging that
each local union subscribe for the
paper for one year in order to as
sist the typographical unions in es-
tablishing the new daily and in COM
batting the open shop fight. The
subscription price is $5 per year.
The State Federation of Labor has
endorsed the enterprise and earnestly
urges all local unions that can af-
ford it to assist to the utmost the

Producers Behind
Farmer-LabOr Party

Secretary Treasurer F. L. Party
All producers in the State of
Washington are called upon to unite
their forces for victory in the COM
ing election. The exploiters of labor
are united solidly behind PoindeXter
and the entire Republican ticket.
The workers can defeat these reac-
tionary forces only by putting their
full strength behind Duncan and the
Farmer Labor ticket.
The Seattle Union Record, Yakima
American, Spokane Forum, Everett
Labor Journal, Tacoma Labor Advo-
cate and Ryan's Weekly are all sup
porting the Farmer-Labor party in
this campaign.
The Central Labor Councils of Ana
cortes, Auburn, Bremerton, Cen
tralia. Gle Elum, Everett, Seattle,
Tacoma and Wenatchee have all en-
dorsed Duncan for Senator, and in
most cases the entire Farmer-LabOr
ticket. Scores of railway locals,
miners locals and other groups have
pledged their support to the Farmer
Labor candidates. The Western Pro-
gressive Farmers, with four thou
sand active members. are working
heart and soul in the Farmer-Labor
campaign.
Clearly there is not the slightest
chance to unite the producers behind
old-party candidates. Tens of thou
sands of producers are already
heartily enlisted in the Farmer-Labor
campaign. and at last we have a
splendid chance to mobilize our full
strength for the Farmer-Labor
ticket.
Past differences are rapidly being
buried. For once, let US all unite
and show what we can do. We can
electrify the labor movement of the
entire nation by throwing PoindeXter
on the scrap-heap and winning
smashing Farmer-Labor victory
November 7th.
Let every producer campaign ag-
gressively for the entire Farmer
Labor ticket from now till election
day. We must get our message to
all the voters. For this we must
have funds, and we need them right
now. Your union can help by MAX
ing a liberal campaign contribution.
The corporations elect the Newberrys
and the PoindeXters; labor must
finance the campaign for labor can
didates fighting for labor principles
With the Republican party thor
oughly discredited, and the Demo-
cratic party weak and hopelessly
divided. we have real chance to
beat Poindexter. We have a wonder
full opportunity to demonstrate the
producers power at the ballot-box.
United on the Farmer-Labor ticket!
All unions are urged to make cam
paign contributions promptly so we
can wage our campaign with the
utmost vigor.

Instead of putting it on the bal

forts of the officials. E. J. Lancaster,
whose address is Route /, Box 1862,
Snohomish. Wash, a member of the
Carpenters Union, visited the office
of the Labor Journal and cursed the
lazy workers for failing to work for
their own interest.
Brother Lancaster had the mis-
fortune to be injured August 21,
when working at the new addition of
the Garfield School.
He broke some ribs, hurt his hip,
and broke his left arm about an
inch above the wrist.
For the first month he received a
compensation of $3.50, the state
pays the doctor bill in addition.
If he had worked he would have
received during the same period
$18720.
If the proposed measure ever had
become a law Lancaster would have
received nearly double the amount
he is getting now. When will the
workers wake up?

SWEDEN ONE-SIXTH'
COOPERATIVE.

The Swedish Cooperative Union
reports to The Cooperative League
of the United States of America
that at the end of 1921 it had 1928
cooperative societies affiliated with
it, representing a membership of
255,000. AS each member is usually
the head of family, this is equiva-
lent to one-siXth the population of
Sweden.
The wholesale of the Swedish
Union did a business last year of
62,372,275 crowns, while the turn
over of both wholesale and retail
co-operatives for 1921 amounted to
almost 300,000,000 crowns.
The Cooperative movement occu-
pies so important a position in the
affairs of Sweden that at the 23rd
Congress of the Cooperative Union,
which met at Stockholm recently, the
government was represented in the
sessions by the premier, Mr.. Bran
ting. and by two cabinet ministers.
