FOREST PROTECTION WEEK.

Efforts to save the forests of the
country from fire will be commemo-
rated during the week Of April 22-2S,
In accordance with a proclamation Is
sued by President Harding on March
and just received by the public. The
idea OF a special week to be devoted to
forest fire prevention originated here
in the Pacific Northwest In 1920. and
the observance has since become ma
ton wide The proclamation calls at
tention to the importance of forest
preservation to tle industrial and
commercial life of the nation and to
individual welfare, and points out that
fires which are the result Of careless
ness or thoughtfulness do great dam
age, seriously threatening the timber
supply and endangering the cover of
the watersheds of streams that are
used for navigation and irrigation.
President Harding urges the COVER
nors Of the various states to set the
week apart and bring about It's proper
observance in the schools, through
civic and other associations, by means
OF the press, and in all proper ways.
In 1922 large number of governors
and mayors of many cities proclaimed
the week. This is the third year that
Forest Protection week has been fixed
by presidents proclamation, and its
has been very general in
the fOrested regions. Last year 1t was
with the fiftieth anniversary
of the first Arbor Day.

COMMUNICATED,

OrOville Gazette: The first day of
the week Sunday has been given us
as day Of rest and worship and
ought to be kept sacred by all of God s
creatures, but We have only to look
about US to see how sadly this duty
is being neglected.
Our little town OF Oroville seems
proud of the fact that she is taking
the lead In some tlings that are very
commendable, why not be the first to
set up standard of purity for the
Lords day?
Reformation is coming. it must
come. How We would love to see
Oroville in the fore front Of this great
movement. We don't want to make
ourselves obnoxious In the eyes of our
friends or others, but we do feel the
time is fully ripe for a move in this
direction.
Way down in South CaroliAa a bill
has been passed prohibiting the play
ing Of pool on Sunday because of its
being Illegal. If that be true, and it
doubtless is how do we appear on TIE
map in Oroville with our theaters,
pool halls. dance halls, base ball and
various other pleasures and sports in
full blast?
submit this little contribution for
your thought and consideration.

prove, interest and taxes piled up, in
come was nil, and now he has left the
place and gone out to make a living
with his hands at days wages. He was
in the office few days ago. He did
not give US this information as a tale
of woe. He was even cheerful in ad-
versity. He explained his situation and
said that he had walked in here so
many years ago and ne was about to
walk out, just where he would head in
at he could not say, but anywhere
where his muscle would command a
price. In the pink of physical condi-
ton he declared that he was feeling
just as capable of doing days
work as he did when ne was twenty
tive years of age, and was just as will
ing to buckle in as at any time in his
career. A man with that indomnitable
spirit, who does not feel that the
world owes him a living, but ready
and eager to wrest that living out of
the world in any honest way that he

serves to win out, and it is a safe bet

PrOpOsod New NOrk
New Labor Laws

Albany, N. Y.-Principal among
nine bills covering the legislative
program of the Smith administration
and all of which are to be introduced
in the legislature at once, is a bill
designed to do away with the worst
abuses of the injunction in labor dis
putes. This measure would make it
compulsory, before a judge may issue
a temporary injunction in an indus
trial dispute, to give notice to the
parties complained against, and to
take testimony to establish the
facts.
Another Of the bills would create a
minimum wage board within the state
labor department, with three men,
befs, one to represent labor, one the
employers, and one the public. This
board would have the power to fix
minimum wages for women and min
ors.
A third will seek to establish a
maximum eight-hour day or 48-hour
week for women and female minors
in mercantile establishments. Still
another bill would create a bureau Of
women in industry within the labor
department. Others of the labor
bills are designed to strengthen and
improve the state Workmen's COM
pensati0n laws.

Southern Mill Owners
Are Smoked Out

Boston-New England cotton mill
interests, which during the long
drawn-out strike of the textile work.
ers against starvation wages assert
ed that they could not meet the com
petition of southern cotton mills,
have virtually confessed what the
strikers have charged all along-that
they themselves own and control the
very southern mills whose competi-
ton they pretended to fear. Num-
bers of them, it is announced here,
are planning to extend the branches
they already operate in the south,
and to start new mills in that Sec
ton.
The 48-hours work week fixed by
law in Massachusetts, and the prob
ability that similar laws will be en-
acted in Rhode Island and New
Hampshire; the lower wages for
which workers can be had in the
south, and the absence of child lab
or laws there, are the reasons for the
extensions"

Post Office Officials
Still Opening Letters

New York-The nostoffice depart
ment is still opening letters which it's
agents think may contain information
on the efforts being made for the re-
lease Of political prisoners. 1t has
gone so far even as to break open the
triple seals on such a letter which
pertained not to a federal prisoner
but to the case of a victim of the war
hysteria now confined in prison un-
der a New York gag law.
This letter was sent by an attorney
interested in the case, to a woman
magazine writer whose name is a
household word throughout the
United States. 1t contained a resume
Of the facts in the case of the political
prisoner, sent to her by the lawyer in
response to her request. The attor-
ney, as it customary with manv law
firms in transmitting copies Of rec
ords, placed several wax seals on the
envelope. When it arrived, all the
seals had been broken.

Russian Conditions
As They Really Are

Jackson, Mich.-Bryon Arsinger of
this city has returned from Russia,
and is glad of it, In an interview
with the Square Deal, Jackson's labor
weekly, he told of conditions in that
country.
when the soviet government was
formed in Russia he clapped his
hands in glee, that at last he would
witness a communist utopia function
on large scale; his co-believers were
in the saddle and he was glad" writes
Editor Henley.
"In company with Mr.. Kerens,
a millwright of Minneapolis, he toured
different parts of Russia, and the
farther he went the worse he found
conditions. He visited Petrograd
and other large cities, winding up
near Vladivostok. Misery was every
where. The people have nothing to
eat but black bread.
"He says there are large number
of Americans in Russia who were
lured there, like he was, and are un-
able to come back"

Why Merchant Marine
Lacks Real Strength

Washington-Why the American
merchant marine lacks all real
strength, and why it can never be
strengthened by giving fat subsidies
to ship owners, are points graphically
recited in a memorial to members of
the senate by the international Sea-
mems Union of America now in con-
vention in New York.
A startling narrative of the rule by
force and fear which ship owners
have maintained ever since our flag
began to fade from the seas over 60
years ago is contained in the me-
mortal.
High points in the memorial, all
buttressed by official documents and
exact dates, are these:
Prior to the civil war our merchant
marine flourished because the Amer
lean sailor, although held in a species
of bondage common to all seamen, re-
garded himself as free in contrast
with the chattel slavery still existing
in much of our land territory.
When Negro slavery was abolished
American ship owners had the mari
time laws amended so that the sailor
should not share in the general liber-
ty established by the emancipation
proclamation and the thirteenth
amendment to the constitution.
That gave to seamen the most de-
graded status known to wage earners,
by tens of thousands they abandon
ed their vessels, and the American
flag began to vanish from the seven
seas.
To meet these wholesale desertions
by self-respecting men, the ship
owners demanded and obtained from
congress the right to hire sailors of
any nationality, in anv port, whether
they We're experienced seamen or not.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1923-01-19

Laws first to prohibit, and then to
permit, payment of wages in advance
were enacted to meet the whims of
the ship owners.
In consequence of the world war,
and creation of the U. S. shipping
board, the government has in the
most recent years been conducting the
shipowners' fight to exterminate the
seamen's union and drive the few
remaining Americans out of the serv-
ice.
Not more than Is DER cent of ma
tive Americans and 10 per cent of
competent foreigners remain in the
service of the American merchant
marine.
In conclusion the memorial de-
mands that supervision over seamen
be taken from the shipping board and
department of commerce and placed
in the department of labor.

Gains In Strength.

The last four years have proved his
wisdom about this. They have seen
the fiercest and best generated attack
ever made on his labor Organization
and his labor organization comes from
the ordeal stronger than ever.
At this again men of any faith in
the race and its destiny rejoice and
are glad. The new year opens with
clearing prospects and q better hope
because Of it. The great and benefit
cent part that organized labor plays
in human progress was never so sure.
It is to win for the worker always the
chance OF richer. fuller, and nobler
life, to gain for him always a better
recognition of his place in society and
to bring men always closer together
with more tolerance and wider Wis
ion. The new year will see along this
line Of march the best progress we
have ever made.
