Seattle, Wash.-Over $25,000,000
has been paid to injured workers and
in pensions to widows and orphans
under the Washington compensation
law since it's enactment in 1911, de-
clares the Washington State Fedora
tion of Labor in an account of the
Federation's achievements since its
organization in 1902. The law was
enacted through the efforts of the
State Federation.
Among the other legislative accom-
plishments of the State Federation
are included the eight-hour day on
public work; initiative, referendum
and recall; day labor on public work;
anti-blacklisting law; creation of a
state labor bureau; state child labor
laws; sanitary law for bake shops;
labor day legal holiday in public
schools; anti-injunction law; eight
hour law for miners; minimum wage
law for women and miners; eight
hour law for women; free text books

school teachers regardless of sex, and
payment of wages in lawful money.
Among the hostile legislation de-
>feated the Federation includes bills to
repeal the eight-hour law on public
work, women's eight-hour law, moth
ers' pension law, full crew law, a
measure proposing compulsory arbi-
tration, a bill providing for company
unions, and a number of anti-picking
bills.
During the last five years the State
Labor Bureau has collected approx
mately $605,000 in wages, an average
of $121 900 per year, large portion
of which would have been lost to the
wage owners had not this agency in
tevened.
AS a part of its educational work
since its organization, the Federation
has distributed 634,000 pieces of lit
erature. In June, 1924, the Washing
ton State Labor News was establish
ed as the official organ of the Fed

ism when it is proposed in measures
that will benefit the people. But pa
ternalism judiciously restricted to
their own requirements has a great
attraction for them.
Congress has never enacted a ship
subsidy law. The ship owners com
bine attempted to put one over dur
ing the Harding administration. 1t
was opposed by organized labor and
the United States Senate killed it by
drastic application of the free and
unlimited discussion "rule" which
Vice President Dawes declares he is
going to abolish.

Wheeler's Acquittal Suits the People

Washington Acquittal of
Senator Wheeler of Montana,
running mate of La Toilette last
year on the Progressive presi-
Dental ticket. of the charges of
special pleading before the gen.
eral land office brought against
him by the Coolidge administra-
ton, was welcomed in the capi-
tai by all but the Coolidge ma
chine and the remnants of the
"Daugherty crowd" whom Wheel
er drove from the department of
justice.
The immediate and unanimous
decision of the jury, after hear
ing the evidence and the judges
statement of the law. is construed
in Washington as an endorsement
of the BOrah report, which was
approved last summer by the SEN
ate. The verdict is also looked
upon as an invitation to the Cool
idge administration to drop the
second indictment, secured in the

Municipal Tramways
Make Actual Profit

London-The municipal tramways
of London made an actual profit of
$4,000 pounds last year despite the
auditors report showing deficiency
of 100000 pounds, according to An
gus Scott, municipal reform member
in the London county council.
Scott points out that the auditor
included charges for repayment on
capital which if they had been de-
Quoted would have shown a profit of
$4,000 pounds. In addition the
tramways made road Improvements
costing 325,000 pounds, which are i'm
properly charged against the tram
ways.
"By taking these items out of the
expense account, the tramways show
an actual profit of 923,OOO pounds, :"
Scott says.

District of Columbia, charging
Wheeler with conspiracy to OBJ
tain illegally an oil land permit
for his client. Practical pOliti-
clans of all parties agree that
further proceedings in court are
likely to add to the present dis
cOmfiture Of the White House.
81 anticipated this outcome, and
l am gratified that this judgment
has been realized" said President
Green of the American Fedora
tiOn of Labor. "Sen. Wheeler is
not only to be considered as a
public servant who sympathizes
with the principles of organized
labor, but as a victim of persecu-
tiOn arising from his public serv-
ices"
''We are all glad of his ac-
quittal," said President NOOnan
of the Electrical Workers. "We
believed him to be innocent of
these charges, and we are glad
that the court has found him in
nOcent."

Ship Owning Capitalists Want
Paternalism Masked AS Subsidy

Washington-The determination of
the shipping interests to raid the pub
lie treasury for a few hundred mil
lion dollars year in the form of a
ship subsidy has been revived by
Gen. John j. Pershing's approval of
government assistance for the Ameri-
can merchant marine.
General Pershing recently made a
trip to South America. He returned
impressed with the large export field
offered there for the manufacture of
the United States, and became con-
vert to the theory that privately
owned merchant marine subsidized by
the government will be necessary to
enable United States manufacturers

GOT THE USUAL ACTION

The usual grist of vetoes, advice
and instructions was received from
w. H. N. Stevens at Monday nights
council meeting. Among the batch
was the veto of the ordinance for a
bond issue for improvements, veto Of
the resolution condemning the action
of the inspector in ordering wages
paid to an. ex-member of the police,
who it is alleged was no longer on
the force, and notice that it would
cost about $4,000 to dig out the old
car track before resurfacing Church
street.
AS an act of courtesy to the Mayor
his sundry communications were re-
ceived and filed, which means they
were consigned to a great number of
similar epistles which have been ac-
cumulating since his induction into
office.
1t was mentioned, however, that as
it was the intention to let the old
car rails remain where they are and
pave them, the claim of the big cost
of removing them was entirely with
out foundation.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1925-05-08

to realize fully the great profit op-
portunities offered in South America.
Bert E. Haney, a member of the
United States shipping board, is also
reported as favoring subsidy.
1t is said that President Coolidge's
mind is "open'' on the subject of gov
ernment paternalism applied to the
capitalists who own the merchant ma
rine but claim they can not make it
pay and want to make up the differ
ence by digging into the public treas
ury and taking out large amounts of
the peoples money placed there by
taxation.
Shipping capitalists are among the
outstanding denouncers of paternal-

called Surplus"
Then they declare themselves en-
titled to an investment return on the
surplus and the federal trade COM
mission implies that it is legitimate
charge.
All of which means that the people
of the United States are compelled to
pay the steel companies prices high
enough to include interest on bonds
and dividends on preferred and COM
mon stock, and, in addition, to provide
an enormous surplus. Then they are
required to pay an investment return
on the surplus itself.

WILD PROPAGANDA

A story entirely without founda-
tion which is being circulated about
town is branded as false by those
who are in position to know.
1t is to the effect that the recent
ly formed organization of boss bar
bers was created for the sole purpose
Of raising prices, and that customers
will soon be paying seventy-five cents
for hair cut, with shaving and
other shop work proportionately high
er.
This wild rumor is supposed to
have had its origin among the unfair
shops, which see the handwriting on
the wall and take this way of bolster
ing up rapidly diminishing patron
age. But people will not be fright
ened by the cry of wolfe, at least
not before the animal has made his
appearance.

Charley Harris is "It" again, and
is once more holding down the job of
Superintendent of Cedar Hill ceme-
terry, with all the books and other
'fixins" under his control and care.
This quick change was affected
last week, when the grave yard par
aphernalia was carted back to the
burying ground and handed over to
Mr. Harris from whom it had been
taken by the Service Director, who
claimed that all books must be kept
at the service directors office and
not at the cemetery.
Why this sudden change of heart
occurred is not known to affiant, but
it looks as if the family quarrel had
been patched up, and for the present
at least "all is quiet on the Potomac"

GETTING ACQUAINTED WITH THEIR OWN

The board of directors of the Irrigation District
did commendable thing in arranging for excursions
to acquaint the people of the valley with the irrigation
system which everything of value IN this county
depends
concerning its affairs 1t is rule or habit with
the average citizen take much for granted. Most
of us choose to in the line of least resistance
This leads into state of inertia We elect public
officials and then let them unsupervsed and unln-
structed We arouse ourselves only when some great
calamity has been forced upon by their inetfcl-
ency or, maybe their venaty If knew their prob
lens better would be the better prepared to ap-
prove or condemn their work. 1t Is trait of weak
human nature to complain and crltcse without know
ledge. we are more ready to condemn than to COM
mend.
The Imperial Valley irrigation system is a pro-
ject of such magnitude and Importance to command
the admiration and interest OF its ownersthe people
of the valley Through the magic of the waters it ac-
qures and distributes the great winter garden here
abous pours its wealth into the lap of the world The
network of canals and lateras has been construct
ed at of approximately fifteen millions OF dol
lars. 1t is big in Its conception and big in its physical
aspect --
Those of our people who are avang themselves
of the opportunities examine the project in detail
getting information that is exceedingly valuable to
them 1t will tend give them greater pride IN their
community and its marvellous production and oppor-
tunlties. 1t is liberal education vital subject.
oOut of this will come, In OPINION much good to
all concerned 1t is bound to result in better under
standing. ignorance breeds prejudice, but knowledge
is its foe herein is where the profit Will accrue 1t
iscommon knowledge indeed it Is common scandal,
that there is amentable division of forces IN this
valley. There is pickering where there should be the
fullest and utmost harmony. Ths newspaper during
the years of its present ownership has constantly
preached the neeo of cooperation and harmony 1t IS
too much, of course, to expect that all citizens Will
take the same view of every subject People are not
all built alike But practical knowledge Will bring the
community to one way of thinking tar as irrigation
matters are concerned. We feel very sure of that.
So it is the Press wishes to place its seal of ap-
proval upon the plan inaugurated by the irrigation
Board to have many people possible to inspect
the irrigation system knowledge is power, and we
that power turned to the greatest good OF
the greatest number.

finished to remodeling and undermining the elevator,
