colored, then it was different.

Against Employees.
Chairman Hooper, in declaring that
the decision of the majority signi-
fed no lack on its part OF regard for
the equal rights of all races, took oc-
casion to charge that bill, which he
said was favored by the sixteen
standard railroad labor organizations,
proposed to ''legalize an tron-clad act
OF exclusion against colored railway
employees" which cannot constitu-
tionally be INDUCED in"
Mr.. Hooper afterward admitted
that he referred to the Howell bill.
Mr.. Wharton said that the bill had no
bearing on the merits of the case,
and denied that its intent was, or
that its effect would be. as Chairman
Hooper represented.
Wharton says:
There is no desire to remove any
persons from the application of the
law or from the benefits accruing
from 1t, on account OF class, creed or
nationality" asserted Mr.. Wharton.
ION the contrary, the provisions of
the proposed law would guarantee to
men of all races, creeds and classes
the benefits accruing from the collec-
tive efforts of the majority"
Chairman Hooper had said that the
standard organizations excluded col
ored employees from membership, and
that the proposed bill provides that
the adjustment boards which it sets
up shall contain representation from
the standard organizations alone"
Mr.. Wharton said that the theory
of the Howell bill was "the same
principle upon which this government
was founded, that of majority rule. !"

Keeping Faith!
EDITORIAL

CEATTLE again demonstrated clearly its desire and
W its ability TO protect its municipal enterprises.
Defeating the two candidates backed by Big Bust
ness for places in the city council the people selected
for their representatives the four who
ming on the public ownership platform Endorsed by
The Star-Carro, Moore, Nichols and Campbell.
The best indication Of the earnestness with which
the voters went about the business Of saving the
Skagt and other publcy-owned utilities for Seattle
was shown in the standing Of Councnian-Eect Ralph
Nichols.
Nichols stood at the bottom, sixth in the list of
counclnanic candidates in the primaries, with Lou
Cohen, present councilman, leading him by 1878
votes.
Nichols, staunch public ownership man and Endorsed
by The Star in the finals jumped from 10S01 votes
to 32.417 votes, and led Cohen who with Elmer Con-
ner was Endorsed by Big Business. by 1888 votes.
The Star. early in the game. saw the danger to
Seattles public ownership program 1t realized that
this issue would be far more important than that of
the mayoralty because the city council was the key
position in any attempt to make municipal ownership
fail.
So The Star investigated the records and the inten
tons of the councmanic candidates. and it Endorsed
the four with whom it believed our utilities would
be safe
It told its readers frankly where the danger lay.
That the voters have fit to believe in The Stars
Judgment is matter of qualification to us, of
qualification in the knowledge that Seattle is still
soidly behind the program of municipal ownership
that The Star has been sponsoring for years.
Seattle is safe, for the time being
But The Star wants to pledge this to the folks who
have so Fundamentally backed its judgment:
That it will continue to champion the cause of public
ownership at all times when public ownership is feas-
ible
That it will seek out and throw the light Of publicity
all attempts of the enemies of public ownership to
endanger our Seattle-owned enterprises and
That if any of the four councilmen in whom the
voters reposed their trust upon the condition that
they support public ownership program SHALL at any
time for any reason whatever, get off the track The
Star will be the first TO point it out.
The people have kept faith with them. They must
