MAKE MINERS
KIDS HAPPY
By w. M. SHORT
President Washington State Fedora
tion of Labor.

The spirit of Christmas is be-
ginning to spread it's kindly influ-
ence throughout the land and our
thoughts have naturally turned to
those who may be denied its pleas
ures, and this brings forcibly to
mind the hundreds of miners chill
dren in the striking coal camps of
King and Pierce Counties who have
been for some time, through circum-
stances over which neither they nor
the miners organization had any
control, compelled to subsist on an
allowance of dollar week relief
for adults and fifty cents a week
for children.
1t will be a cold and unhappy
Christmas for many hundreds OF
these children unless the heart of
the Trades Union Movement of
Washington can be opened and their
needs provided for at the festive
season.
At the suggestion of many friends
deeply in sympathy with their prob
lens, l am appointing a committee
to take charge of the work of ar
ranging for a Christmas festival for
the children in all of the striking

dies, toys and all other things nee
essary for their cheer and comfort
The committee is as follows:
Mrs. Robert l.. Proctor, Chairman.
H. w. Dali, Teamsters' Union
Lillian Levi, Mattresses Union.
j. N Belanger, Building Trades
Council.
Emma Shelly, Garment Workers
L. U.
Fred Wyatt. Laundry Drivers L.

H. N. Fitzhenry, Milk Wagon

orators.
Make all checks and money orders
payable to the Miners Children
Christmas Fund and send them to
Federation headquarters at sos
Maynard Building, Seattle. All funds
received for this purpose will be dis
bursed through the committee above
named, and should any funds be
left over after the Christmas needs
of the children have been taken care
of, the same will be turned over to
the State Secretary of the miners
union to be placed in the general
miners relief fund
These miners families have been
on strike now for twenty-one months
and during all of that period have
endured the greatest privations in
their gallant fight. and at no time
during that struggle has the SYM
pathy and support of labor been
needed to such tremendous extent
as now, and for that reason | here
by appeal to every local union in
the State to make a contribution and
provide the cheer that will otherwise
be lacking when Christmas morning
dawns for them.

GOMPERS URGES LABOR TO FIGHT
TUBERCULOSIS BY BUYING
CHRISTMAS SEALS

The organized fight against tuberculosis means much
to the working of America Statistics show that the
death rate from tuberculosis has declined most rapidly
within the last fifteen years among those large
tonal groups where has been highest This reflects
avoraby upon the organized activity of the National and
State tuberculosis movement in the establishment of ia
ctes for the discovery, and treatment Of tubercu
ous patients and in the education Of the public the
prevention of this disease
There are still 100000 deaths from tuberculosis every
year in this country and considerably threequaters
of million active The need for further work is
apparent
The fifteenth annual Christmas Seal Sale to be held in
December is opportunity and responsibility for every
working to share in this fight urge upon all Of you
to buy many Christmas seals you and thus to
share in this great life saving enterprise i'm which all
are generally interested.

The extent of deStitution among
the children of Russia would be in
credible, were the causes of the APP
palling situations less we'll known
Those who have watched the catas-
trophic assaults upon Russia during
the last five years-the attacks by
international greed, the terrible ia
mine-learn without surprise that
literally hundreds Of thousands OF
children are orphaned, starving.
broken in health, doomed to eXJer-
mination unless help arrives quick
ly from the outside. Estimates in
dicate that there are 100000 orphans
in Russia and 400, 900 in the Uk-
raine.
Everywhere in Russia, but espo-
cially i'm the regions devastated by
the famine scOurgc, there are horde~
of uncared-tor children. The graphic
descriptions of their condition and
sufferingS there is no need to re
peat here. The details are too grue-
some. unearthly in their tragedy.
Everywhere in Russia little chill
dren wander like lost souls, the only

of the workers in other lands. Their
fathers have fallen in defending the
workers republic against the Wrau-
gels and Denikens of the world +:
killed in many instances by Ameri-
can bullets Or they have died Of
hunger rather than eat the crust
of bread which might save their
childrens lives.
To meet this situation, the Inter
national Workers Aid has decided
to establish Children's Homes in
Russia, equipped to care for and edu-
cate the new generation of Russians
Several such homes are already in
existence. supported by the German
and Dutch workers Despite made
quate provisions in many places
those homes are wonderful cases OF
happiness for the Russian children
in desert of misery. More such
homes. if started soon. will obviatc
a great deal of suffering.
Homes equipped and supported by
American contributions will be-
named after heroes and martyrs OF
the American labor movement.
In undertaking the work. the
Friends of Soviet Russia and the in

SHORT WRITES
I.C. COMMISSION
State Federation Requests Inter
state Commerce Commission for
Action to Protect Travelling Public
on G. N. and N. p. Roads.

Some time ago the State Fedora
ton of Labor, by telegram, request
ed the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to see to it that unsafe equip
ment operating out Of the Everett
wards was properly inspected and
inspection and safety rules enforced.
4 favorable reply was received,
tatiug that inspectors were being
lrdered to go to Everett at the earli-
est opportunity. Shortly afterwards
a wreck occurred, north of Everett,
on the Great Northern road in which
four lives were lost. The Federation
again put the matter up to the In
terstate Commerce Commission, by
letter, which read in part as fol
lows:
"We are sure you will agree that
the government must share its re-
sponsibility if any avoidable accident
occurs. such as this one, that could
have been avoided had the inspection

ings stamps of the series OF 1918 be
come due and payable on January
/, 1928. The people who bought
these stamps will receive their full
face value upon redemption and win
find that the money they saved five
years ago has earned every year
about foII per cent compounded u-
terest. In order to afford holders

itv to continue their investment I'm a
safe government security the Treas
ury Department is offering an eN-

mediate payment will be made in
cash of any difference due the
holder of War Savings Stamps if he
takes the largest possible amount Of
Treasury Savings Certificates on the
exchange.
The growing inclination of the
people TO save and their desire TO
find a safe reinvestmeut for their
money leads Treasury Officials 90 be-
lieve that a large part of the six
hundred million dollars in War Saw
ings Stamps soon to become due will
be exchanged for Treasury Savings
Certificates.

The condition Of Paul Dunn, whe
was injured by a tractor at

what improved Tuesday morning.
MIR. Dunn was trying to couple the
tractor to the plow. In backing up
the tractor to the plow he took hold
Of the clutch lever and pulled it back
SO far that he lost control Of the
machine SO that it pushed him back
against the plow. Charles Clark was
standing near the tractor and seeing
what had happened jumped forward
and grabbed the lever. If Mr.. Clark
had not been theme or had been sew
eral feet further away from the trac-
tor, Mr.. Dunn would have been
crushed to death.
He was taken to Audrain Hospital
and upon examination it was found
that several ribs had been broken
and ne had been injured internally.
He underwent a serious operation
Sunday but his condition Tuesday
