HOQUIAM CENTRAL
COUNCIL REPORTS
CONDITIONS GOOD

The Hoquiam Trades and Labor
Council having Jurisdiction over Ho-
qufam and vicinity has enjoAed a
very harmonious cooperation on the
part OF all employers during the past
year. Not a firm or employer has
been placed on the "Unfairs' or 1--we
Don't Patronage" list during the entire
year. At the beginning of the year
one firm was on this list but was re-
moved some time ago at the request
OF the Transfers union, which had
reported this firm unfair.
The council is composed of man.
bers OF the different affiliated local
unions, every one OF whom believe IN
a constructive and practical policy of
procedure and this accounts for the
amiable conditions existing today.
There are eleven local unions affil-
lated with the Central Council. which
include the Plumbers, Carpenters.
BARRIERS, typographical, Tailors. Mn.
sic1ans, Culinary Workers, Painters
Teamsters, Street Railway Employees
and Moving Picture Operators A
many of the Harbor organizations
maintain only one local union with
jurisdiction over Hoauiam and Aber-
deem some of these locals are affiI-
lated with the Aberdeen Central
Council.
All the affiliated local unions re-
pert conditions and employment good.
AS there has been much work this
summer. all locals report all members
employed practically continuously for
the entire year.
The council has met all requests
made upon 1t from locals In distress.
particularly the miners union of this
state, who were on strike until a short t.

DUMMY { WILSON
PIONEER IN CITY

The Quimby & Wilson furniture
store, one of the largest business es-
Establishments in the city, did not start
on this big scale. 1t was first located
and established in the old Crown CT
gar factory next to the telephone Of
flee. Here Mr.. Quimby, with the as
sistance of Mrs. Quimby conducted
the business until 1904 While in this
location all of the furniture was hand
made by the owner
Shortly after moving to the next
location, which was SIG l street where
the Raymond Racket store is now To-
Gated, Mr.. Wilson made a trip to
Portland, where the first carload OF

Washington State Federation Of La
Dor has also been regularly donated
to, and its policy and that OF the
American Federation always upheld

its sister council of Aberdeen. The

come to attend the sessions.
Brother w. H. Michael, now past
president Of the council held that Of
flee for three years. He was nomi-
mated for reelection during the cleo
tion in July but declined as he thought
that three years was enough for one
man to hold that important position.
Mr.. Michael is also treasurer OF the
Painters and Of the Christian chursh
of Hoquiam, both OF these positions

lively smaller advance than other
groups. A relatively small portion of
the increase was made necessary by
the so-called full crew and hours of
service laws and similar federal and
state statutes. A substantial part of
the increases in this group has been
due to the increases in the special
services performed for shippers at
terminals and elsewhere without the
imposition of any charge or for an
inadequate charge. Such special
services include reconsigning, switch
ing, storage, teaming, ETC., the cost
of performing which falls for the

furniture was bought at Wholesale
This was all secondhand furniture
and when it was delivered In Hoquiam
and sorted out and repaired, it was
discovered by the buyers that It could
possibly be sold for about the same
price that was paid for It in Portland
This was their first experience at
wholesale buying.
Their next great experience was in
buying stoves. 1t took a salesman
three months to talk them into the
notion to handle his make of stoves,
the owners thinking that at that time
the poulation would not invest in new
ranges. To their surprise the entire
lot was sold during the first month.
Since that time the firm has met
with continued success and built up
the fine business they now enjoy

COOLIDGE TO MEET
TARIFF LAW HITCH
FactionaI Discord in Commits
sion Which His Predecessor
Considered Not Settled.

President Coolidge, 1t appears, will
have to take up with the Tariff Com
mission, as did President Harding. the
visions of the Fordney- -McCumber
tariff law. From the beginning two
factions in the commission have been
at odds over the administration of this
act, one contending for greater activity
and the initiation of Investigations by
the commission, while the other de-
clared that investigations should be
made only after formal complaints had
been made.
The President has an engagement to
meet with the Tariff Commission to-
morrow. Whether the question of pol
icy is to be taken UP at the conference
is not known, but II is expected that
there will be some discussion of the
matter.
The President, It was said recently
at the White House, expects the
commission to initiate Investigations
into schedules under the flexible pro-
visions of the tariff law after proper
consultation with the Chief Executive.
and also to act upon formal COM
plants or petitions for Investigations.
President Coolidge has agreed TO
send a message TO the western tariff
congress which meets In Denver Octo-
ber 3. headquarters of the Western
Tariff Association.
Members of the association recently
appealed to the President to restrain
the activities of the tariff commits
sion in reopening schedules, and the
Denver meeting was called. it was
announced, ito give all producing in
terests an opportunity to Jointly de-
fine a tariff policy best adapted to
the needs of the West"

'FL0GGlNG IN MINE
REVEALED BY PROBE
Whipping Strap, Banned Two
Years Ago, Revived in Dis
ciplining Leased Convicts.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, September Is.
The whipping strap. abolished two
years ago by Gov. Thomas L. Kilby.
has been reintroduced in at least one
coal mine camp In Alabama, where
leased state convicts are worked.
This became known as result of
an inquiry into an outbreak at Ban
ner mines last week. The leaders OF
the trouble were fiogged with a strap.
1t was divulged in reports to the gov
ernor White convicts are said to
have been among the number.
L. A. Boyd, president of the state
port to the governor, assumed re-
sponsibility for the floggings at Ban
ner.
Whether the strap will be replaced
In all convict camps was not stated.
Prisoners at the mine were quoted
by newspaper men as saying tasks
were made impossible because of
rock in the seam; that food was poor,
and that men were forced to work
when they should have been on the
sick list. This, the prisoners said,
caused the outbreak
Prison officials said the trouble
was started largely by Outside agi-
tation." 1t is assumed he referred
to the effort of anti-leasing advocates
who seek to have leasing of conyicts
abolished in Alabama.
