HEAVY STRIKE COSTS

TORONTO, Ontario, Aug. 21.-
In his report to the annual conven-
tion of the International Typograph-
ical union, President Howard said
that the gross earnings of all mem
bers increased the past year approx
imately half a million dollars a
month.
This estimate is based on returns
under the i per cent assessment. The
returns for the months of March,
April and May, last year, indicated
average earnings of 11,2O0,779 per
month. For the corresponding months
of the present year the gross earn
ngs averaged $11, ,76O,657 per month.
During the period June 1, 1920, to
May 81, 1924, the international ex-
pended the enormous sum of $15,-
391, ,342.76 for strike benefits and
special assistance to local unions in

FULL TIME HEALTH UNIT
IS NOW AVAILABLE

SEATTLE, Aug. 21.-Money is
now available for another full time
health unit in Washington, DR.. John
A. Ferrell, director for the United
States for the International Health
board of the Rockefeller Foundation,
announced during his recent visit to
the State Department of Health.
Five thousand dollars win be given
outright but the county and city to
which it is offered must give sim
liar sum.
This health unit is being offered
to Everett and Snohomish county,
but If the offer is not accepted with
in q short period of time, it will be
offered to other counties that re-
quest the aid, DIR. Paul A. Turner, di-
rector of the State Department of
Health, declares. The Rockefeller
Foundation will probably prepare to
aid four counties in this state next
year, according to DIR. Ferrell.
DR.. Ferrell was pleased with the
progress made by the Walla Walla
county unit. Walla Walla was the
first county to be assisted by the
Rockefeller Foundation. This unit
became operative January of this
year and marked the initial appear
ance of the Rockefeller Foundation in
county health work in this state.
The full time county health unit
consists of full time health officer,
a full time public health nurse, a
sanitary inspector, a clerical assist
ant, and transportation for them in
their county work. Any county in
terested in procuring such health
unit should communicate as soon as
possible with the State Department
of Health.

COMMITTEE sTIFFENED
TO AID NO-PARTY PLAN

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 2t.
The A. F. of L. executive coun-
ell increased the membership of
the National Non-Partisan Politi-
cal campaign committee by adding
Vice Presidents Thomas A. Rick
ert, Matthew Woll and Martin F
Ryan. The old members of the
committee are President Gompers,
Secretary Frank Morrison and
James O'Connell, president of the
A. F. of L. metal trades depart
ment.
The enlarged committee is in
dicative of labor's determination
to elect the La Toilette Wheeler
ticket and congressional candi-
dates, irrespective of party, who
have promised their friendship to
the cause of labor.
Reports to A. F. of L. offices
show that state declarations of la
Dor and city central bodies are en-
Enthusiastically accepting the nom
partisan policy. The absence of
discord or differences is most
marked, and in no campaign have
workers presented such a united
front.
The national committee expects
substantial responses to its appeal
for financial aid to meet expenses
for literature that will be dis
tributed throughout the country in
large quantities.

DAVIS WINKS At
LABOR INJUNCTION

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 21.-
"In his acceptance speech at Clarks-
burg, Mr.. Davis indicates that he IA
vors congress being subordinated to
the chief executive and that he does
not oppose the labor Injunction"
said Frank Morrison, secretary of the
A. F.. of L.
"Mr. Davis said: AN executive who
can not or will not lead a congress
that can not and will not follow
how can good government exist under
such conditions?'
'This is a rejection of the well-un-
derstood principle that our govern
ment consists of three independent
co-ordinating branches. Mr.. Davis
lets It be understood he favors q
president who viii dictate to the law
making branch Of our government.

editorial expression Of the WA
Street Journal, issue June 10 last,
that business proposes that the presi-
dent shall govern the United States,
and it is taking steps to make it's will
effective
"Mr. Davis scant reference to the
labor injunction is most significant.
He said labor's right to organize and
bargain collectively must not be i'm
paired either by injunction or by any
other device
"No injunction Judge has ever de-
MED labor's right to organize OF bar
gain collectively. This is even con-
ceded by the stoutest defenders of
Garyism. These unprincipled writs
appear only when trade unionists
would realize the purposes for which
they unite.
"Trade unionists will not permit
the labor injunction to escape discus
sion by catchy phrases or velvety
terms. This process overthrows gov
ernment by law and restores the
most hateful of all autocracies-ju-
dicial rule.
sThe labor injunction has under
mined our judiciary. 1t has brought
that branch of our government un-
der popular suspicion and attack.
"The labor injunction is so fraught
with menace to our institutions it
can no longer be waved aside. Lest
be charged with undue concern let
me quote from a recent address on
the labor injunction by United States
Senator Pepper before the American
Bar association:
In the senate one quickly be-

out the country of sentiment on this
subject which, if unchecked, might
easily develop into a revolutionary

MONTESANO MEETING
HAS LARGE ATTENDANCE

The Community meeting held Mon
day night by the Montesano Carpen-
ters at which President VIM. Short,
president Of the Washington State
Federation of Labor, was the chief
speaker, was well atteded by over
400 union men and members of the
Clifford club and United War Vet
erans.
A preliminary meeting of the Cliff
ford club was adjourned for the Car
penters' program and resumed later
to listen to President Short.
A fine musical program was rem
dered by Sehaffer's band, followed
by short addresses by Secretary
King of the Montesano Chamber of
Commerce and Frank Hites repre-
senting the Aberdeen Chamber of
Commerce. Mr.. King spoke on the
fine spirit existing between the local
labor movement and the Chamber of
Commerce and the community spirit
shown, and Mr.. Hite told Of similar
condition in Aberdeen. George Downs,
the union label man, gave a short
talk.
In a most interesting and convinc-
ing manner President Short explained
the aims of the American Federation
of Labor, chief among which is the
making of better citizens and the
part of the worker in doing his share
as a citizen of his community. He
plainly showed that as the worker
prospers so is the merchant and pro-
fessional man benefited.

Congressman John NJ. Nelson Of
Wisconsin, national manager for La
Toilette and Wheeler, in an interview
with International Labor News Serv-
ice, expressed qualification over the
action of the Executive Council Of the
American Federation of Labor in en-
dorsing La Toilette and Wheeler. He
said:
"a while back we were only cal
culating on holding a balance of
power in the congress and perhaps
in the electoral college. Today we
regard La Follette's triumphant cleo
tion as more than a probability. The
response to our appeal to the plain
people of the nation has been remark
able. There is a tremendous ground
swell from the people themselves, as
they recognize that this is and must
be a movement from the bottom and
not from the top.
"As to the formation of an organ
ization to carry on the campaign, it
is not a question Of q sufficient num-
Der of persons to do the work. We
have organizations with as by the
score and individuals by the tens Of
thousands. Our chief task is to CO.
ordinate the efforts Of all these
groups and individuals TO obtai1 the
maximum Of restlss. zt b s0i4g t.

lens, but we have made great prog
ress so far and are sure Of having the
campaign fully organized and in fun
swing within a short time.
