Sweeping Wage Cut
in Sawmills With
Co. Unions Aid
BY Defense News Service.

SEATTLE, Wash, June 1.-Sweep-
ing wage reductions were put into eff
feet in many western Washington
sawmills on May 10, approximately
10000 workers being affected. Mills
in Everett, Port Angeles, Bellingham
and Anacortes reduced the wage of
common labor to S3.40 a day, and
skilled workers suffered 10 per cent
reduction.
Oncials Of the Loyal Legion Log
gers and Lumbermen, which pro-
fesses to represent both employers
and workmen, admitted that the min
imum of S3.40 had been agreed upon
at it's executive boards last meeting.
Whether this drastic wage cut will
lead to widespread strikes is profile
NAUTICAL. But when a reduction OF 60
cents a day was announced a month
ago in Raymond, 700 workers on Will
apa harbor marched out OF the six
Raymond mills. One mill agreed to
pay the old scale and its employees
went back TO work, but the strike con-
tinues unbroken in the other five
plants.

Pepper International
Injunction Scheme
Passes Committee

WASHINGTON, D. c., June l.
Imperialism by international injunc-
ton is likely to win out as the for.
eign policy of the United States by
the favorable vote of the Senate For
eign Relations committee, which to-
day reported the Pepper World Court
bill to the Senate by vote of 10 to
6. The committee answered Cal Cool
idge's fervent plea for the Harding
Hughes plan by voting it down 10 to
8.
Complete enforcement of the court
from the League of Nations as pre-
requisite to American participation,
and elimination of the compulsory
arbitration provision of the court, are
the outstanding features of the Pep
per bill. By this device the United
States need appeal to the court only
when it feels that it is to its advan-
tage to do so.

Telephone Gang
Steals Enough to
Keep Out of Jail

NEW YORK, June The New
York Telephone company has con-
cealed 100000 revenue and faxed a
depreciation charge of over $4,000, 900
in order to justify its 10 per cent in
crease in rates, according to affida-
Wits filed in federal court by the city
Of New York which is contesting the
increase. That the company does not
show revenue from long distance calls
which it credits to the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Co., its parent
trust, is a further charge. Further
rate increases of from 30 per cent to
40 per cent are contemplated by the
company, according to a brief filed by
the attorney generals office.
