Attempts have been made from time
to time to secure a pulp and paper
plant on the Harbor, but because the
propositions have been backed most
ly by stock promoters, have failed to
materialize so far. About six months
ago, eastern capital sent their repre-
sentative here to look over the terri
tory and report on the adyisability of
locating here. After thoroughly COW
ering the field and going into figures
regarding the cost of a plant, it was
discovered that they were unable TO
finance the factory.
Now that the government printer,
George H. Carter, has recommend
ed to congress that the government
establish its own pulp and paper fac
tory another attempt is being made to
secure the plant for the Harbor. A
government owned plant is opposed by
Congressman Johnson, Alex Poison
and William Donovan on the ground
that government operation is imprac-
teal, and urged local capital to go
behind the proposed new industry
here which has been backed and en-
couraged by the Grays Harbor Realty
Board of which A. j. Stewart is sec
rotary.
Just why a paper plant has not been
established here for some time Is
somewhat of a puzzle. The Harbor
can furnish all the raw material, the
power and water that is necessary for
plant of this kind. 1t has many ad-
vantages over other localities that
now have a plant of this kind. Spruce
and hemlock are the main pulp woods
used in the manufacture of paper and
the Harbor has a great abundance of
both. 1t is estimated that so per cent
of the timber now logged and sawed
into lumber is wasted, a large part OF
this could be manufactured into paper
at a small cost.
All the people interested in the
community should get back of the
plans to bring a paper mill to the
Harbor 1t will means more employ
ment and larger payroll from which
all will benefit.

SPLASH COMMITTEES
PROGRAM FINISHED

The committee in charge Of the
Splash which will be held in Hoquiam
this year reports that plans have been
completed for grand one-day cele-
bration.
The program provides for parade,
speaking and band concerts during the
forenoon. In the afternoon races and
all the different contests will be stag
ed. ending with a grand display of fire
works in the evening.
Another feature of the Splash will
be the 30-round Smoker in the even
ing staged by the Legion Athletic
Club of which Dick Large is match
maker. Large intends matching some
of the best boys on the coast and this
should be a great treat for the follow
ers Of the fistic game.
The committee in charge of the fl
nancial end of the Splash reports that
it has met with god success, approx
mately $4,000 have been donated by
the Hoquiam business firms which
should be ample money to put the eel
ebrationJ over in great style.

Fiery, Itchy Skin
Quickly SOOthed
With Sulphur

Mentho-Sulphur, a pleasant cream,
will soothe and heal skin that is irri-
tated or broken out with eczema; that
is covered with ugly rash or pimples,
or is rough or dry. Nothing subdues
fiery skin eruptions so quickly, says a
noted skin specialist.
The moment this sulphur prepare
tion is applied the itching stops, and
after two or three applications, the
eczema is gone and the skin is de-
lightfully clear and smooth. Sulphur
is so precious as a skin remedy be-
cause it destroys the parasites that
cause the burning, itching or disfig-
urement. Mentho-Sulphur may be
had at any good drug store.-Adv.

trade and furthermore It Is true Of
American products ct home, in compe-
tition with imported commodities IN
all except an insignifieantly small
group Of articles which need not be
considered IN any general survey OF
the field.
THE fact Is that the payment Of
adequate and ever-increasing wages Is
stimulant to industry, necessary to
the very life Of industry. Can any one
imagine any successful industry in
America today continuing to exist IL
wages we're the wages of ten years
ago?
Living Wage Necessary
THE surest road to bankruptcy and
national destruction would be a re-
turn to the wages that were current
at the beginning of the ten-year per-
iod of which Mr.. Hoover speaks. II
that unthinkable thing could be done
and we're done what would become of
the tremendous productivity Of indus
try? The market would be destroy
ed. There would be idleness not only
for the two million workers of which
Mr. Hoover speaks but for many mill
ions more-such idleness and misery
and Reorganization as the country
has never known. The absorption of
the prodigious output of the industrial
machine is made possible only by high
wages.
"a very capable committee ap-
pointed by Mr.. Hoover conducted q
long investigation into the operations
of what is known as the business
cycle. Upon conclusions of that inves-
LEGATION the committee brought forth
report Skeptics who have much
more than a shadow of right to their
skepticism will say that it is yet far
from proven that there is such thing
as a business cycle. But whether
there is or not, a better preventive
of industrial depression than any
brought forth by Mr. Hoover's excel
lent committee is the continued pay
ment of high wages, the continued adj
vancement and improvement of STAN
dards of living, the continually en-
larging capacity of wage-earners to
purchase, use and consume the prod
ucts of American industry.
improvement in productive pro-
cessess goes on without interruption.
improvement in employment rela-
tions, one of the most important fac
tors in the increasing Of production,
goes on continually. The elimination
of waste in industry is being achieved
with the help of labor and with the
help of scientific workers in the field
of management.
these things mean that productive
ity per capita grows ever larger and
larger.
"Only some cataclysmic destruction
can rob us of the gains we have made
Increase Production.
Five years from now we shall
have made a gain at least equal to
the gain of the last ten years. We
venture the prediction that we shall
have increased the volume of produc-
tion of our industries so that there
will then be as much more per person

paradise almost beyond imagination.
ITO cite once more a statement
made by Mr.. Hoover in this address,
ne states it as a fact that we sell rs
per cent of all the automobiles which
move in international trade today
and do so at real wages, three times
those of some of our competitors II
Is therefore not the payment Of ade-
quate wages that hampers industrial
progress in any direction.
What is true of American automo-
biles in the export trade is true of
other American products In the same
Southwest Washington labor press. [volume] (Hoquiam, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1923-06-22

as we now produce over ten years
ago.
IF wages increase so that this ire
mendously augmented per capita pro
duction can find distribution among
the masses of our people we shall
have gained magnificently II such
an increase in production should come
without concurrent increase in the
ability of the masses to procure and
consume we should be confronted by
tragedy of unthinkable proportions
THE only road to Industrial Sc
eurity, with increased production, is
the relations between wage-earners
and employers and in a constantly
growing ability of wage earners to
improve their standards of living
through increased wages, improved
working conditions and a shorter
workday.
Statistics have forever robbed
short and reactionary employ
ers of their excuse for wage re-
auctions.
Sound national policy dmands
ever-increasing standards of living
for the masses Of American people.
Refutes Excuses.
"The facts cited in this editorial
completely refllte the time4hononed
excuses for refusing wage increases
and show that industries are able to
pay fair and constantly rising wages.
that products of high paid labor can
successfully compete with products of
low paid labor and that American
workers are the most efficient work
ers in the world Finally, they show
that unless there is a constantly ris-
ing scale of wages in American i'm
dustry, constantly rising standards,
and constant improvement in the gem
eral conditions surrounding wage
earners, industry can not under any
circumstances maintain its rate of
gain in volume of production; that
any road except the road onward and
upward is the road to ruin.
"The debt and the obligation which
American industry and commerce owe
to American organized labor are NOT
even now fully appreciated The pro-
test and resistance of American or
ganized labor against the drive for
wage reductions have turned the tide
of industrial depression to the indus
trial revival which Mr. Hoover clear
ly elucidates.
THE tremendous outpouring of
commodities from our great and com.
pick productive machine must have
sure destination unless we are to be
confronted by inexcusable and ter
rible calamities. The only destina-
ton that there can possibly be for
this great outpouring of life-sustain-
ing product is within the confines of
our country in the homes Of the great
masses Of our people.
Those who clamor for wage re-
auctions, for policies of feudalism,
disruption and disorganization in in
dustry are in tn fullest sense of the
word promoting national retrOgres-
sion and finally destruction. Their
attitude is the very antithesis Of pa
triotism, and all thinking persons are
coming more and more to SO re-
gard it,"

.CO-OPERATIoNTO TO
RULE IN FUTURE
Predicted That New Agreement
Will Tend to Stabilize
Coal Industry.
MEET IN ANNUAL CONFERENCE
Operators and Miners Arrange to Get
Together Long In Advance to Talk
Over Yearly Scale-LeWis
Is Pleased.

Bituminous coal operators and oft1-
cials of the United Mine Workers OF
America signed a new agreement run
ming for one year and covering the tri.
state competitive field Of Ohio, Illinois
and Indiana. This agreement will be
used as standard for fixing wages
and working conditions throughout the
bituminous territory.
In q resolution passed after the con
tract had been signed, the negotiators
professed to see the setting up of ma
chinery which, in the words of labor
chief, twill tend to eliminate the an
nual coal strike bugbear."
1t was q resolution that the joint
subcommittee of operators and miners
should meet Jan. 8, 1924, to prepare a
new agreement in advance of the ex'
piration Of the current one, on April
l. 1924.
Recent strikes and strike "scares,
causing fuel famines, abnormal mar
kets, high prices, and industrial insta-
bility, has been due, it was pointed out
to the inability Of operators and
miners to get together. The standing
subcommittee overcomes this obstacle
1t is believed.
The subcommittee is composed OF
seventeen, with Michael Gallagher
Ohio operator, as chairman, William
Green, secretary-treasurer Of the Uni
ted Mine Workers Of America, as Sec
retary, and w. L. Robinson, also an
operator, as assistant secretary. The
personnel includes high officials of the
union and representative operators OF
the tri-state competitive field.
John l.. Lewis, president OF the
United Mine Workers Of America, pre-
dic.ed that the new contract will be
made a basis for wage agreements II
all other coal producing fields.
1--WE have assurances" he said
that contracts will rapidly be exc
cuted In all bituminous districts not
embraced in this conference"
