PUBLIC HEARING ON COMPENSATION
MEASURES J0BBED BY EMPLOYERS

However, the lumber interests of
the state were well protected through
one of their number, Senator Mccoy,
who presided as chairman of the
meeting, and who had previously
worked out his plans for jobbing the
meeting In conference with members
of the federated industries lobby at
Olympia, and who refused to give out
any information in advance to repre-
sentatives of the Department Of La
Dor and Industries as to how much
time was to be allowed the speakers
and how the hearing was to be con-
Quoted.
Hearing Continued.
When he was approached by the d.

trip IN Portland. and states that busi-
ness did not appear to be very good
in the Rose City. She also says that
she did not help matters much be-
cause most Of her shopping was done
in the windows.
While In Oregon, Astoria was also
visited, and she describes that fire
stricken city as a terrible sight to
look at. what little reconstruction
is taking place Is mostly temporary"
said Mrs. Vincent ''The burned area
Is being cleared and everything that
can be put to use is saved. Before re-
construction can start in earnest, sew
ers and water system must be in
stalled. The people Of Astoria can
not stand that expense, and must
therefore wait for federal aid"

suffered great losses through the fire,
and have therefore not the cash or

HEARING REFUSED D1M LABOR MEASURES
Cstate Fede atbn BulIetin.l

Giving added emphasis to the reactonarism of the
present Legislature the house labor committee last week.
departed from every legislative precedent and only de-
MED to labors representatives hearing important
labor but also denied to the author of the bill
itself that consideration.
Some ten days ago. when the daylight kitchen bill was
before the committee abos representatives appeared
behalf of this measure and following this hearing State
Federation president asked any other labor matters
coming before the committee for consideration and was
told that there were not.
1t later discovered that both the bill for an eight
hour day for the lumber industry and bill compelling
contractors working for the state to pay the going wage
scale had both been acted and were scheduled be
reported out with recommendation that they do pass
The president of the Federation then Immediately
ferred with the chairman of the labor committee of the
house and asked that the matter again be taken before
the committee and hearing held the two measures
before final action would be taken The chairman of the
committee agreed takethe matter up but when the
committee met they voted deny abors representa-
tves hearing the and also voted to deny the
consideration the author of the bill in the house
who standing outside the door waiting the privilege
to be heard.
The decision in this respect without precedent in
any legislative body and is direct slap in the face for
organized labor by the antiabor employers the
mtte placed there for the purpose of preventing favor
able consideration of labor Legislation Several members
of the committee however, will bring minority report
the measures, recommending that they do pass.

HOQUIAM AMERICAN
PLANT COMPLETED

The Hoquiam American, a weekly
publication started In Hoquiam about
year ago, and until lately published
in one Of the printing shops of that
city, this week started publishing in
its own shop, located in the Masonic
temple.
Mr.. LeRoux, the editor and mana.
ger equipped the print shop with the
best material and machines on the
market for a weekly paper The new
linotype machine arrived and was in
stalled about six weeks ago, but the
press did not arrive until lately
The paper has been making fine
headway ever since 1t was started, In
both prestige and circulation Its col
umns are mostly confined to Ho-
quiam.
Shortly after the press was in
stalled, the pressmen of the I'd rbor
visited the shop and reported eing
well pleased with the equipment and
arrangements, also wished Mr.. Le-
Roux good luck In his new plant.
Mr.. LeRoux has been in the news
paper business practically all his life
and the American is proof of his abil.

One Of the lowest pieces of jobbery
ever practiced was pulled at the pub
lie hearing the senate chamber at
Olympia last week on the industrial
insurance bills now before the house.
The first plan was to have a public
hearing IN the house chamber on
Wednesday night. Later this was side
tracked, quietly. and arrangements
were made to hold the hearing in one
of the small committee rooms which
would only accommodate a limited
number Of people.
When this was discovered such pro-
tests we're made that a public hearing
was then forced to be held in the SEN

Coyle and several others prominent in
Legislative affairs were responsible
for bringing about the open public
hearing in the senate chamber.

PROGRESSIvES ARE
GAINING IN POWER

The political party that lines up
with the progressives will swing the
next presidential election, predicts
Williams Jennings Bryan, champion
of the common people, and veteran of
many political campaigns.
Mr.. Bryan was questioned further
as to what he, thought would be the
leading issue in the next campaign.
He replied:
There is no leading issue. l would
say there are three big issues inter.
esting the mass of the American peo.
pie today. They are:
First Relief to the farmers, who
are the greatest sufferers at present
Second Protection of the rights
OF the workers, who came next to the
farmers In the amount of injustice
from which they are suffering.
f'Third-The curbing Of profiteers,
who are praying on both the farmers
and laborers.

OF the too old parties see the writ

selves from defeat By continuing to

HEAVIEST SNOWFALL
IN YEARS RECORDED

The heaviest snowfall experienced
in the Northwest in years fen last
Tuesday night. The average for the
Harbor was about Is inches and in
some parts reached 3 depth Of two
feet. Street car service was suspend
ed late Tuesday and could not be re-
sumed until late Wednesday. An ef-
fort was made early in the morning to
get the cars through, but the snow pil-
ing up under the wheels derailed the
cars. Road scrapers were later used
to clear the tracks, pulled by trucks
and Ford tractor.
; BY keeping the busses in operation
all night, and in this way kept roads
between Hoquiam and Aberdeen open,
the Twin City Transit company CON
tinued to carry passengers without In
terruption, although. a schedule Of
time could not be kept.
Playing safe, the property owners
employed a large force to shovel the
snow from the roofs Of buildings. Con-
siderable damage was done to some

HOQUIAM'S COUNCIL
HALL IS REPA|NTED

The sHoquiam Trades and Labor
Council is to be congratulated upon
the swell appearance of their meeting
hall. 1t has been completely re-
painted and repapered, giving it the
appearance OF a brand new place.
The wood work was stained dark oak
while the wall paper is brown in col
or. The ceiling is of a light shade of
the same color. The council is real
proud Of their finished home and well
they may be. The gavel has been ia.
ken away from the president for fear
that worthy brother may mar the fur
niture.
Some of the delegates that make It
a practice to, attend about one meet.
ing every three months will not know
the place when next they attend.
At the meeting Monday evening
much business of importance was
transacted. The delegates reported
the state of trade good.
The laundry question was discussed
and further attempts will be made to
organize the employees in the Ho-
quiam laundries. Should this be i'm.
possible much OF the work will be
sent to the Aberdeen laundries.
The editor of the Labor Press ap.
peared before the body and reported
the progress made during the past
ten months. The delegates present
were asked to have the local unions
report the happenings and actions OF
the locals on different questions to
the Press for publication. Members
of locals not now subscribers were
also urged to subscribe.
Brother Brown, secretary Of the
council, talked on the value of the pa
per to orEanized labor, and stated
that 1t was at the present time a bet
ter paper than at any time since the
publication was started about ten
years ago. The different locals were
also asked to cooperate with the edi-
tor in making it even better.

It is not very often that an inves-

statements as were made in the re-

tors Note.)
Committee Report.
As herein stated, this committee,
appointed by his honor, Mayor John
f. Hylan, went to the bituminous coal
district with open mind and with the
sincere desire of gaining first hand
information of a situation that had
been characterized as deplorable.
Instead Of receiving assistance to
get the truth, the committee met in
suits at almost every turn from the
Berwind-White Coal Mining COM
pany. The officials of the company
refused the committees invitation to
attend the hearings, but endeayored
to entrap 1t behind closed doors, the
favorite method of soulless corpora
tions.
The refusal to attend the hearings
of your committee and meet its strik-
ing employees who had grievances can
only be interpreted to mean that the
Berwind-W Coal Mining COM
pany, being unable to refute the
charges Of its striking employees, at
tempted TO hide from the public the
true facts of it's method OF dealing
with its miners and other employees.
Suffering and Deprivation.
The committee heard narrowing
tales of suffering and deprivation and
saw in tents, hen houses, stables and
other improvised homes, women and
children whose feet were bare and
bleeding. and whose bodies were
thinly clad.

e. J. Berwind, the reputed largest in
