innocent will be exonerated in due

Big business, its satellites and in
struments know only too well that no
one is being or win be lynched. They
know how easy it is to play on the
peoples mind for patience and toler-
ance.
To rob the people and suppress them
in their rights and liberties is one
Of the principal functions of some
groups. This cannot be denied be-
cause it is practiced every day in in

petitions which viii be circulated here
in the near future. This bill is of
vital Importance to this city since
the WynOOohe project is to be de-

Those not familiar with the bill may
call at the office of the Labor Press
and get copies thereof.
April 25th has been set as the next
date when a hearing is to be held on
the injunction writ prohibiting the
city Of Aberdeen from proceeding with
preliminary work on the Wynooche
project.
Some criticism has been forthcom-
ing from local people because it has
appeared that city officials have been
lax in fighting this injunction. The
postponement is due to the slow pro-
cess of the law. It has been impos-
sible in the past for the attorneys and
the judge to be present upon previous
dates set for the hearing. No more
delay in the future is expected.

OLYMPIA NOTES

C. F. Kennon. secretary of the Cen
tralia Central Labor Council was in
Olympia last week and addressed the
LuAding Trades council of that city
while there. He spoke at length on
the influx of labor from all parts of
the country to the much-advertised
Kelso and Longview country. Mr..
Kennon stated that this influx was
not only working a hardship on the
people coming here from the east ex.
pecting to find work Immediately. but
was also becoming a menace to the
surrounding communities. There are
now a number of unemployed in ev-
cry community and this influx from
the east should be discouraged.
Mr.. Kennon is also secretary of the
Culinary Workers organization that
has jurisdiction over Centralia and
Chehalis He is one of the most able
and active trade unionists in the twin
cities.
Business Agent Durham Of the
building trades men reports that the
contractor ON the label and Wilson
theater is showing friendly atti-
tude in his dealing with the men of
these trades, and is employing union
men. Non-union men employed on the
lngham & Reed theater have been
replaced with union men in the jast
week.

MUST BE ON GUARD

BY John NOli.
Big business, the reactionary poll
ticians and the daily press represent
ing big business, are diligently and
tirelessly planning and engineering
statements that are put out by the
press and periodicals, to confound the
people in their position and attitude
regarding the corruption that is being
unearthed at Washington, the seat of
government, by confusing their minds
through appeal to political prejudice
and assertions that guilt has not been
proven and that men in high political
positions are being lynehed.
This is done with the hope that the
people as usual will be sympathetic
and lenient to the extent of allowing
the culprits to escape or to ease up
in their demands for thorough invest
igation and punishment and thus if
not giving sanction to, yet permitting
more and greater corruption by gov
eminent officials and bride givers and
takers than has yet taken place.
This is no time to be fooled either
by the innocent or guilty. The time
is here to demand a showdown. The

No. So, authorizing municipalities to

its, was filed Wednesday in the office
of the secretary of state. Bone was
accompanied on this mission by A. e.
Cross, city attorney Of Aberdeen, who
is assisting the author of the tax free
power bill in every shape and manner
possible. A number of other propo-
nents of municipal ownershop were
also present.

young lawyers have agreed to tour
the state in the interests Of the bill

The Seattle Union Record has been
quite active in the capital city, try
ing to sell stock to local unions on
per capita basis. The Building La
borers union has approved this plan
and has purchased some stock to help
finance the Record. The Carpenters
union held a special meeting last
night to consider the proposition set
forth by the Union Record. The
Press was unable to ascertain the re-
suits of this meeting before going to

ing to get some of the unions in these
trades to re-affihate with the council.

that the council viii soon be able to

LET CONGRESS KNOW
By Samuel Gompers.

Every corporate interest that wants
wide open gates for immigration is at
work. In Washington a powerful
lobby is busy day and night. Organ
izations of foreign born throughout
the country are being induced to adopt
resolutions and send petition to con-
gress.
Senator's and representatives are
being besieged by an organized pro-
paganda. Not all of them have the
courage to stand up for American
standards. The johnson bill does not
entirely express what ought to be the
American position on immigration,
but it comes as near to it as any bill
that could be passed.
The American Federation of Labor,
for that reason, supports the john
son bill. Every trade union in Amer
lea ought to register its support of
the johnson bill. Every trade union
ought to adopt resolutions which
should be forwarded to the Congress-
man from the district, the Senators
from the state and the President of
the American Federation of Labor.
This action should be taken imme-
diately. Let Congress know where
the wage earners of America stand.
The immigration issue is an American
issue and it must be settled as an
American issue. Let American wage
earners voice their demands. Do it
Immediately, or it may be too late.
Unless the immigration law is passed
before June 80, the American ports
will be thrown wide open to hordes of
immigrants from all countries.

Head Stuffed By
Catarrh Or Cold?

If your nostrils are clogged, your
throat distressed, or your head is
stuffed by nasty catarrh or a cold,
apply a little pure, antiseptic, germ
destroying cream into your nostrils.
1t penetrates through every air pas
sage, soothing inflamed, swollen
membranes and you get instant relief.
How good it feels. Your nostrils
are open. Your head is clear. No
more hawking, snuffling, dryness or

bottle of Ely's Cream Balm from any
druggist. Colds and catarrh yield
like magic. Don't stay stuffed up.
Relief is sure.-adv.

TRADES ASSEMBLY

Newark Trades and Labor Assem-
blv was opened at the regular hour
Wednesday evening by President
Harry Cochran, with all the Officers
in their stations and a large NUMBER
of delegates in attendance.
After the minutes of the previous
meeting had been read and approved
a number of communications were
acted upon, one of which stated that
the Associated Building Contractors,
of Terre Haute, Indiana, had declared
for the open shop and locked out or
ganized labor. Some lively scrapplng
may be looked for in the near future.
The various standing and special
committees made some snappy re
ports, showing they were not laying
down on their jobs, but were keeping
things moving.
Rev. George Bohon Schmitt, who is
always a welcome visitor, gave US an
interesting talk relative to the scare
itv of practical trade text books IN
the public library, and suggested the
idea of the various Locals presenting
reference and instructive books per-
tanning to their own crafts to the lib
rary. The suggestion met the gen
eral approval and received the un-
animous endorsement of the Assem-
bly, and the idea will probably bear
fruit in the near future.
Bro. Shyrock, the veteran trades
unionist of GAINESVILLE, made some
stirring remarks relative to the pres
ent outlook in Labor circles. 1t is
probable that Mr.. Shryock will be IN
the race for State Senator in this dis
trict at the coming primary election.
On motion a committee, consisting
of Bros. E. f. Baker, Walter Trickey
and Homer Howard, was appointed to
confer with the Scioto Valley Coop
erative Milk Producers Association
and report at next meeting.
On motion the secretary was IN
structed to call the attention of the
city council to the deplorable condi-
tion of some of the railroad crossings
on various streets throughout the
city, with the view of obtaining re-
lief
The meeting was long but interest
ing and snappy, and considerable bus
mess of more than usual interest was
dispatched.
After the Assembly adjourned our
Labor Day Committee met. This is
a live bunch of hustlers, and the
prospects for a grand and successful
celebration of labor's holiday are
bright. Z

MILK PRODUCERS ASSN.
Now Numbers $500 Members in Six
Different Counties

The milk producers of six counties
Licking, Franklin, Pickaway, Fair
field, Union and Logan-numbering
2,8OO members, have formed the
Scioto Valley Cooperative Milk Pro-
ducers Association, with the object OF
getting square deal and a fair price
for their product.
Licking is one of the largest milk
producing counties in Ohio, and dur
ing this present season the supply
has been unusually large, frequently
far in excess of the demand, often
compelling the producer to sell in
other cities at low price in addition
to paying exorbitant transportation
charges. Some of the milk distribu-
tors in Newark will not buy from the
association, as they hope by these
tactics to disrupt the organization
buy milk at a different rate anc
thereby make large profit.
If organization and cooperation
were more general among the farm.
ers and the growers of food products
it would be to the advantage not only
of themselves but also to the general
consumer. The producer sells low
the consumer buys high-the middle
man and jobber get a fat rake-off.
Organized labor is with the agri-
cultural producer, and is willing tc
cooperate with him at all times, as
by such means the material welfare
of each would be greatly advanced.
Attention is directed to the adver-
tsement of the Milk Producers Asso-
