CONGRESSIONAL RECORD
OF ALBERT JOHNSON

A congressman is a public servant,
the people are boss always when they
take the trouble to be, as they should
at all times, not just on election day /!
There must be no pussy-footing or
evasion.
We, the people at large, generally
should be thankful to our congress-
man for the good he has done but not
forget also, the other side.
Johnson introduced the imnigra-
ton bill that is now law. It is one
thing that will be of benefit if the
law is properly enforced.
It will give us time and chance,
if we do our duty, to properly ini-
tate those now here, that do not un-
derstand our government and its
methods; and every voter should be
able to read and write the English
language to be able to vote intelli-
gently and post himself on what is
being done for good government at
all times. That goes for those born
here and those that choose to come
here. johnson also voted for the in
crease Of the postal employees sala-
ries or pay. So much to his credit.
However, let US consider what he
did that is bad for us all and you
should weigh these matters carefully,
as it is Johnson's record. He made
it himself.
These facts are from the Congress
sional Record:
In the Seth congress johnson vos-
ed for the infamous Esch-Cummings
bill.
That means he voted for the rail-
roads and against the people and the
high rates in force now add greatly
to the cost Of living for us all and
will do so till the robber rates are
down where they should be.
Il lets the railroads earn money
on watered stock and all, way beyond
what the rates should be; It is esti-
mated to cost ultimately some five
billions Of dollars when it gets to

INITIATIVE NO. s. WINS
STATE WIDE BACKING
Continued from Page one)
By A. W. FAWCETT
Mayor of Tacoma

The 100000 horsepower of cleo
trio energy in the rivers and lakes of
Washington is a priceless heritage
for our people. It is the last of our
great resources and must not pass
from public control. The power trust
wants this great resource and bitterly
fights every city that tries to develop
a power plant. It tried to throttle
Tacoma's Cushman development. It
is fighting Aberdeen in the courts to
prevent building a public plant.
In the central part Of the state,
where there is no municipal compete
tion. rates are among the highest in
the United States. Yet Washington
has more water power than any other
state in the Union.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 3d.
The sixth seasonal Of the annual In
ternational Labor Conference, of
which the accompanying pictures show
the officers and delegates at the first
days sitting and which held its sit
tings in the building occupied by the
labor office at Geneva, Switzerland,
resulted in the following four impor--
tant decisions:
ID A recommendation was adj
.dopted providing for the development
of facilities for the utilization of
workers spare time.
~ A provision draft convention was
adopted on the weekly suspension of
work for "a hours in glass-manufac-
turing processes where tank furnaces
are used.
(3) A proposed draft convention
and a recommendation were adopted
on the equality of treatment of
national and foreign workers as re-
CARDS workmen's compensation for
accidents.
az A proposed draft convention
on night work in bakeries was ad-
opted.
Other decisions of the Conference
included a resolution, unanimously
adopted, in favor Of extending the in
designations of the international Labor
office into unemployment, with par
ticular reference to the operation of
credit, instability of prices and disIo-
ing stability of employment. It was
also decided to defer until future
session the question Of disinfecting
horsehair, horns, hoofs, ETC., against
Anthrok, an important discussion
also took place on the ratification of
the Washington convention on hours
of work, particularly with reference
to the recent increase Of working
hours in Germany.
K. Hjalmar Granting, Swedish Gov
eminent representative on the council
of the League of Nations, who was
awarded the Noble peace prize in
1921, presided over the conference,
which was attended by 124 delegates
from 80 countries, and about 100 tech
nical advisers. These delegates in
cluded workers, employees and gov
eminent representatives. Margaret
Bondfield, undersecretary of the Brit
ish Ministry of Labor and government
delegated to the conference, in pro-
posing Branting's nomination as Pres
ident of the conference, said that he
had devoted his life to efforts for the
protection of the workers and the pro-
motion of international peace. On
the platform in the inset is shown the
President surrounded by the council
of the League Of Nations. Albert
Thomas, director of Il e international
labor office and minister Of munitions
for France during the war, is seated
at the table to left Of Branting.
It was this session Of the interna-
tional labor conference which voted
unanimously to set up a suitable me-
mortal to Woodrow Wilson, to be
placed in the new Geneva headquar-
tiers of the labor office now under
construction.

bold enough to introduce H. R. bin

mission, and place the duties of the
commission into the hands of Secre-
tary Of Commerce Hoover. That

the trusts and their welfare than the
people whose votes have sent him to

President Seattle Municipal League
The trustees of the Seattle NUM-
cipal League unanimously indorsed
the Bone Bill. Some of these men
are municipal ownership enthusiasts.
Others as decidedly are not. All,
however, agree that this bill en-
bodies sound business principles.
Cities now have the right to oper-
ate power plants. They should be
allowed to operate in the most eco
nomical and business-like manner.
This the bill permits.
The proposed law does two things.
It gives Seattle the same rights in
the conduct of their power opera
tons as private companies. 1t re-
moves the penalty imposed by the
last legislature should they sell sur
plus power outside their limits.

By OLIVER s. MORRIS
State Senator

I believe there is much good in the
Bone Power Bill, Initiative No. 81.
1t makes the great hydro-electric
plants of the state available to all the
people. 1t permits all of the cities
Of the State to ultimately own their
own distribution systems.
1t also assures the farming COM
munities the same enjoyment of utiIi-
ties that are enjoyed in the cities.
1t gives all the people the full bene-
fit of advancements of electrical sci
ence in their homes.
Seattle has not condemned the pri-
vate plants there. There need be no
fear of an attempt to do so in other
cities.

when heat penetrates right down into
colds, congestion, aching muscles and
sore, stiff joints, relief comes at once.
The moment you apply Red Pepper

At first the government crop report
was the chief factor in the wheat
trade and selling was general, the re-
port being generally construed as
bearish. Aggressive buying developed
on the declines in price, however. and
with the Winnipeg market showing de-
cided strength quick advance here
ensued.
Great dearth Of moisture was report
ed in northern and central Saskatche-
wan and Alberta, and it was said that
recent rains elsewhere in the Canadian
wheat belt had fallen where least need

y Warm, sunshiny weather today and
indications of considerable improve
ment in the corn crop outlook this week
formed something of an offset for the
extremely bullish air of the. govern
ment crop report on corn. All deliver
high price records for the season.
Oats averaged lower throughout the
day, government figures pointing to a
much larger production than was look
ed for.
Material advances were established

TRADE RECORD
OUR CENTRAL. AMERICAN NEIGHBORS

than that of the state of Illinois,
show growing disposition to rely
on the United States for the mer-
chandise which they import and as
a market for their exports. especi-
ally since the war which interrupted
in considerable degree their trading
relations with Europe. Prior to
the war, in 1908 for example, they
took but 459S Of their imports from
the United States while in the latest
year for which their official re-
ports are available they were taking
over 70es of their imports from US.
Honduras, as already shown, takes
S4ce of her imports from the United
States, Nicaragua advanced the
share of her imports from US from
$500 in 1913 to 1876 in the latest
available year, Panama from $50
to 1876, Salvador from 1870 to 621o,
Guatemala from 500 to 60He, and
Costa Rica from 5190 in 1918 to
$50 in 1922.
Much Of this increase in our trade
with Central America is due to the
investment of United States capital
in that area, for it is chiefly through
American investments that the big
banana industry along the Caribbean
coast has been developed, through
the construction Of railways, proper
housing facilities for those engaged
and direct connection with the great
markets of the world. Our own im-
ports of bananas, drawn chiefly from
Central America have grown from
about $5.000,0 600 value in 1900 to
nearly $20000,000 in 1923.

Manila Included
In Quake Belt

Manila, June 8 "a. r by Mail)-
That Manila may at almost any time
be visited by an earthquake such as
destroyed Yokohama last September
Is the warning given by -'ather ROGUE
Ruano, professor Of physics and en-.
gineering in the University of Santo
Tomas, who has just returned from a
visit Of several months in japan
where he studied the effect of earth
quakes in that country.
THE Philippines lie in the same
seismic zone as does the earthquake
region Of japan, and conditions in
Manila are analogous in many re-
spects to those found in Yokohama u
said Father Ruano. 1.-THE same sub
soil that Is found in Yokohama is
found here and building construction
is practically identical
The professor recommends that a
committee Of biologists and scientists
be appointed to study the earthquake
regions of the Philippines and make
report in order to impress Upon the
people the necessity of preparing, as
far as possible, for severe quake at
any time.
