CAN BUNCO STEERERS
FOOL PUBLIC AGAIN?

CHICAGO, Sept. 25.-Can the bun
co steerers fool the public again?
asks Dan Evans, editor of the Inter-
national Steam Engineers, published
by the international Union of Steam
and Operating Engineers.
with the two political parties wag-
ing sham battle of words during the
campaign, but playing practically the
same game when elected to power"
said Editor Evans, "it is not surpris-
ing that the masses of the people have
become disillunionized and disgusted
with both. They are tired of simply
turning out one to put the other in.
THE revolt headed by La Toilette
and Wheeler is assuming formidable
proportions throughout the country.
Started as righteously indignant
protest against the subversion of the
peoples government to the domina-
ton of selfish private interests in both
political parties, and consolidated as
definite issue by plain evidence Of
that domination at both party con-
ventions, the independent movement
has already gained mighty momen-
tum. 1t has upset all the nice calcu-
lations of the double-headed big busi-
ness party which thought it had ev-
erything fixed.
"From present indications among
the rank and file of both political par
ties in every state, it is safe to say
that it is not all improbable that
the people of this country may sue
ceed next November in recovering
some control of their national gov
ernment.
"Such a result will depend upon
whether the millions of progressive
thinkers throughout the land will
vote as they think, or whether they
will be hypnotized by the honeyed
words of the party bunco-steerers
who, as usual, will promise them any
thing if they will only again vote
the regular party tickets of the
Wall street dynasty"

RAIL UNION CHIEFTANS
IGNORE LABOR BOARD

CHICAGO, Sept. 25.-The railroad
labor board is again ignored by rep
resentatives of the Brotherhoods of
Engineers and Firemen, and the board
must twiddle its thumbs until it Sc
cures a court order commanding these
workers to appear before its august
presence.
The railroad workers have a wage
dispute with western railroads. The
managers would refer the matter to
the labor board, but the workers in
sist the board is partisan.
When the case was called by the
board, officials of the railroads were
present, but not the workers. They
were represented by counsel, who pre-
sented identical letters from the
brotherhood officials. Attached to
them was a copy of their protest and
refusal to recognize the jurisdiction
of the board, which they termed
CHASED tribunal"
Starting with the shop mems strike
the history of the railroad labor board
is an interesting study of how public
opinion and court decisions have been
used by the railroads to suit their
purpose. When the strike started the
managers and newspapers declared
that refusal to obey the boards man
date constituted defiance of gov
eminent" When the workers asked
the courts to rule that the labor sec
tions of the transportation act, pro-
viding against discrimination of trade
unioaists and in favor of company
unions" be enforced, the courts held
and the same newspapers agreed that
the board is only vested with moral
powers.
The board and the railroads now
want the board to have teeth" and
the courts ruling will be awaited with
interest.

recognized by him. There seems to
be a spirit developed on the part of
the Hearst organization that our
movement here is incapable of making
an effective fight against them, and it
is vitality important that this attitude
on their part be changed through a
militant campaign directed against
the paper by every branch of our
movement in every section of the
state.
Tests made in one or two sections
of the state have proven that sub
scriptions to the paper can be can
celled. Committees should be named
by every branch of our movement to
conduct a campaign among their own
members for cancellation of sub
scriptions and also among business
houses, especially restaurants, barber
shops, cigar stores, news stands and
pool rooms. The committee should
make it plain to all concerned that the
only issue involved in the strike
against the st-Intslligencer is the
paying of the same wages and pro-
viding the same working conditions
on the Post-Intelligencer that are
now in effect on all the other daily
newspapers in Seattle, provided for
under mutually acceptable contracts
between the newspaper publishers
and the printing trades unions.
Let us put a campaign under way
on behalf of the striking printers that
viii make both the Post-Intelligencer
and everyone else sit up and take mo-
tice. Remember, the only effective
help you can render is to cancel sub
scriptions.-W. M. SHORT, President.

CITY Of new YORK
GIVES Ia TOILETTE
ROUSING WELCOME

By international Labor News Service
NEW YORK CITY, Sept. 23.-
Madison Square Garden witnessed q
political demonstration that has sell
dom been equalled when grizzled
''Bob" La Toilette, progressive candi-
date for president, addressed 10000
persons packed in the historic build
ing, as many more in the Square out
side and the radio audience over the
WEAF broadcasting station that took
his message as far west as the Mis-
sissippi valley.
For once there was unity among
divergent political groups on one
standard bearer. They cheered and
waved small American flags, sang
and applauded Battle Bob" with the
fervor that has been evoked but once
before-that during the Bull Moose
campaign for Roosevelt. 1t was in
the main q labor crowd with a repre-
sentation Of progressives from the
democratic and republican parties who
viii vote under the Liberty Bell, So
cialists in large numbers and thou
sands of trade unionists.
On the platform were the repre-
sentatives of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, Central Trades and La
Dor Council, New York State Fed
Grafton of Labor and hundreds of To-
cal unions.
Climax to Gardens History
Madison Square Garden has seen
many tumultuous meetings, political
rallies, prize fights, horse shows, cir
cuses, war and peace celebrations,
but few such spontaneous and in
spired audiences as that which gath
cred solely to hear and see the pro-
gressive leader. 1t was a fitting cli-
max for the old Garden, which is
soon to be torn down to make room
for q modern skyseraper.
"The campaign in which we are
now engaged witnesses a conflict be-
tween two principles Of government
as Old as human history" said sena-
tor La Toilette in beginning bis ad-
dress. He ccntinusds
''In all ages and in all lands men
have lived who have denied both the
right and the capacity Of the people
to be the masters of their own gov
ernment. From the dawn of civiliza-
tion down to the present hour, men
have sought to make government an
instrument for securing, and extend
ing, special privileges destructive Of
the liberties, happiness and prosperity
of the masses of mankind.
1.-THE American system of govern
ment was the handiwork of men of a
different faith. In the instrument by
which we effected our separation from
England, and first asserted our rights
as a free nation, Thomas Jefferson
wrote into the Declaration of lnde-
pendence a challenge to the tyranny
of the ages.

VALUATION
STARTS LONG FIGHT

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 25.-
The long fight Of the railroads against
the valuation system of the inter
state commerce commission has taken
a new angle and the matter is now
before the District of Columbia SUI
preme court. This is preliminary to
its final appearance in the United
States supreme court, which probably
means years of litigation.
The fight revolves around the COM
missions valuation of the Kansas
City Southern railroad for the pur-
pose of setting rates. The commits
sion made its first decision in July,
1919, when it ruled that the property
Southwest Washington labor press. [volume] (Hoquiam, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1924-09-26

has 4 tentative value Of $49,446.907,
The railroad management insists thai
its property is valued at practically
twice that amount, and that the COM
mission considered only it's physical
value and not its intangible values,
such as good will and earning capa-
city. If the latter claim is upheld,
high rates are justified.
The railroad managers insist that
the value should be based on the
market value of their properties,
while the commission claims that the
value should be based on the amount
of money actually expended.
These two theories appear in every
rate-making proposal and the final de-
cision will have a far-reaching effect.

DR.. Klein, director of the bureau o.
foreign and domestic commerce, under

made to show the relative position
of the different states in the inevita-
BILE struggle for foreign trade. 1t is

"The record shows that Mr.. New,
particularly, did everything in his
power to prevent the pay bill from
reaching a vote and when he failed
to stop favorable consideration in
congress, he found a sympathetic
ally at the White House who vetoed
the measure that congress and the
public approved overwhelmingly"
Attempt to Frighten Publishers
According to Mr.. Woll, at con-
ference in Washington April 1S the
postmaster general told a committee
from the American Newspaper Pub
fishers association headed by S. E.
Thomason of the Chicago Tribune,
that in view of the newspaper sup
port given the postal employees, the
publishers should be prepared to pay
portion of the proposed wage in
crease. Other members of that COM
mittee were: J. D. Barnum, SYRIA
cuse Post Standard; E. H. Baker,
Cleveland Plain Dealer; L. H. Brush,
Marion, Ohio, Star Review; A. F..
Miller, Battle Creek, Michigan, En-
quirer and News; F. A. Miller, South
Bend Tribune; Howard Davis, New
York Tribune; A. G. Carter and La
fayette Young.
"Mr. News suggestion to the pub
fishers was plainly an attempt to
frighten them from any further es-
pousal of the wage objective of the
postal employees" declared Mr.. Woll.
''He was trying in this indirect way
to hamper the postal workers by de-
priving them of the opportunity to
reach their employers-the public
through the medium of the newspa-
pers.
Sought to Gag Workers
"Mr. New wanted to gag the pos
tai employees and prevent them from
nailizing their sole weapon--an or
deEly appeal to public opinion.
"His crafty overture to the COM
mittee representing the publishers
was fatty rejected"
The reasons for the reputation
of Mr.. News suggestion is set forth,
says Mr.. Woll, in the following ex-
cerpt of the report to the last an
nual meeting of the American Pub
fishers association by the commit
tee on second class postage:
"The postmaster general informed
your committee that in view of the
editorial support accorded by news

Selfisbness Doesn't Pay-If You Try To Grab Every thing, The World Wiu Fight You To Finish And
 You WiU Never Find Happi,,ess

"f am going to look out for myself first, last and all the time,' said a young girl to me the other day. II am going to take everything I want, and can get, from lifc.'
 Well. you won't get much,' I re-
 ."WhyT' she asked.
 Because" said, you will find the whole world banded against the grasper As soon as people find out that yotr al. ways grap the best of everything for yourself they will block your way, and see that you do not get it. When they find out that you ride rough shod over every ones rights and priviliges, you will be cold-shouldered out of the way. When they see that you have no con sideration for any one else, no consid- cration will be shown to you.
 You can see this illustrated in a thousand different ways about you. Who are the merchants who prosper ? Not the ones who take every unfair advantage of their competitors, and who wiring the last cent they can pos sibly get out of their customers, but the men who play fair in business, and who are liberal to those who buy from them.
 "Who are the girls who have the most men hanging about them? Never those who mOnopolize every man who comes near them, and who never, by any chance, introduce any man they know to another girl, but the girls who share their beaus and their chocolates with other girls, and try to drag other girls into their good times.
 r "Who are the people we do things for, whose interests we promote, to whom we love to give things? To-the grafters? To those who impose upon us? To the unappreciative and un- grateful? Not much. We would die before we would let them get anything out of us, or put anything over on us. and every time they climb up a round of the ladder, we kick them down.
 "The people we help along, and boost, are those who are looking out for the other fellow instead of them selves; who are always ready to give a helping hand to any one in trouble who consider the convenience and pleasure of other people, and who mod estly take the lowest seat in the syna- gogue instead of pre-empting the high est one. \
 Believe me, my dear, just as hon. esty is the best policy, so unselfishness pays better than selfishness. It actu- ally gets you more.
 "Then there is your own soul to be reckoned with. Did you eyer know an egotist who was happy? When you make yourself the center of the uni verse; when you consider everything that happens in reference to yourself :; when your own happiness and com fort. and well-being are the most im-
