GAINESVILLE, and Clarence of Chicago.
There are Z grandchildren, also two
sisters: Mrs. Elizabeth Floyd and
Mrs. Rosa Hughes of Eagleport.
In the string of 1902 Mr.. William.
moved with his family from West
died March IS, 1925. During these
% years Mr. Williams (Billy as he
was familiarly known, was noted
for his benevolence. No man need
leave his house a hungred, and no
worthy cause was turned empty
handed away. Yet with all his
benevolence he prospered financial
ly. He possessed strong physical
body and was a man of great in
dustry He had always enjoyed the
best of health until stricken year
ago. During his long illness he
struggled hard to regain his health,
but when he realized that this was
not to be, he expressed the desire
that God take him unto Himself. So
on the night of March 18 his wish
was granted, and while surrounded
by loved ones, he passed peacefully
into the hands of his Maker.

STRIKES CAN Be JUSTIFIED
ACCIDENTS NO Defense

The strike can be upheld from a
moral and monetary standpoint. There
Is no excuse for industrial accident.
The deadliness Of these accidents is
again emphasized by a report issued
by the state Of Washington, which
shows that the reported. accidents in
that state, last year, total 10000,
with a total time loss of 7,131
working days.
On a basis Of 275 working days in a
year, this is. equivalent to $500 idle
workers in but one state.
The Washington report does not in
clude occupational diseases or the
many ills that can be traced to a
weakening Of the wage ..earners' re-
sisting powers because of poor work.
ing conditions.
Strikes attract public attention, but
the deadly industrial accident is ig-
nored.
Many statistics are published on
strike losses, but these figures are in

TABOR LOOSES Bis \
FIGHT AT OLYMPIA

The Clayton picketing act, killed
by the senate Thursday, was re-
garded as the most important of all
Of labor's 20 legislative demands. w.
NJ. Short, president of the State Fed
Grafton Of Labor, and other labor men
who have been lobbying in Olympia,
have concentrated their efforts on the
Clayton measure since the expected
attempt to open the state Industrial
Compensation act to competitive pri-
vate insurance failed to materialize.
President Short addressed the follow
ing letter 70 individual members of
the senate as final plea for enact
ment Of the Clayton act.
MY dear senator: The Federated in
dustries have had q poll Of the SEN
ate taken and word has been secretly
passed out that, with the exception Of
about seven, the senate is to be de-
livered against Senate Bill No. 135.
Labor is 10th to believe that such
condition prevails, and sincerely hopes
it isn't true.
However, we are cognizant of the
fact that for some time there has been
conducted in the senate a constant
barrage of misrepresentation propa-
ganda against this measure, of which
the audacious editorial appearing in
the Morning Olympian, which malic-
iously misrepresented the facts, is but
q Dart.
Senate Bill No. 1876 is the federal
Clayton act"; has been on the feder-
al statute books since 1913, and has
been twice sustained by the U. S.
supreme court. A majority of the
state legislatures have since enacted
it into state law. In 1919 bin fol-
lowing its lines, but not its exact
language, was unanimously passed by
our legislature. Our supreme court
has since held that because the exact
language Of the Clayton act was not
used that its principles could not ap-
ply--hence this bill.
Washington's wage workers are
now shorn Of the protection of this
just, peace promoting legislation.
Without IL, return win have been
brought q the Aold tooth end claw,
methods d 81 state industries that
in the past have wrought 50 much dis
sension and injury to all.
The Washington State Federation
of Labor earnestly hopes that the
Federated Industries advance" ap-
praisal of the senate's servility to its
anti-labor program is wrong. Senate
Bill No. 1876 is the most vital labor
measure before the legislature, and
the wage workers will watch with
deep concern your. vote on the bill,
and beseech you to vote for its adop-
tion.--Very truly yours, w. M. Short,
President of the Washington Fedora
ton of Labor.

LABOR GROUP TO AID
IN CITY CHANGE PLANS

Announcement that plans to con-
vert Aberdeen into city Of the first
class are proceeding at a satisfactory
pace, was made at the weekly meet
ing Of the Central Labor Council last
Friday by f. E. Weiland, councilman
from the first ward.
"The city council has appointed
committee of which ! am a member
to go into the proposition thoroughly"
Mr.. Weiland said "and this committee
u satisfied that Aberdeen will be
greatly benefited by this change. We
plan a census to definitely establish
whether or not Aberdeen has passed
the 10000 mark in population, and
after that Is completed with will take
concrete steps,"
Councilman Weiland pointed out
that Aberdeen could write its own
charter Of a city Of the first class,
and also that police, firemen and
other city workers would be under
civil service regulations. He also
pointed out that Aberdeen would not
have to appeal to the legislature
every time it decided to do something
as is now necessary.
Following Councilman Weiland's
talk, committee was named by Presi-
dent w. L. Braclxinreed to work with
the councilmanic committee.

today as bartenders were five years
ago, but they cannot become members
Of the old bartenders' union despite

bartenders were connected with,
namely the Hotel and Restaurant

SPURNS D|L[M
TO PERMIT PICKETING

OLYMPIA, Dec. 25 The bill giving
organized labor the right to picket
during strikes was defeated in the
Senate here by vote Of 28 to II last
week, the reactionary solons lining
up solidly against the measure. Presi-
dent William Short promptly retaliat-
ed by causing picket bearing a ban
ner branding the Senate as unfair to
labor" to circle around the capitol.
Dan Landon, G. W. Christensen and
Bob" Oman led the charge against
the "old guard" but It was an un-
equal contest The enemies Of or
ganized labor knew in advance what
it would do, and sat tight during the
plea Of labor's friends for favorable
action.
The Senate "old guard" was 80
opposed to the bill that II ignored the
committee report, accepting the min
ority's version Of measure by turning
thumbs down.
President Short declared that or
ganized labor Is not downhearted, and
declared that the 2s who voted again
st the measure will reach their day
Of retribution At the next legislative
elections.

are made severe because discipline
is the foundation stone of both the
Army and the Navy and these armed
services have been considered the
foundation stones of the Government.
1t is held therefore that contempt of
the discipline in Army or. Navy Is
contempt of all Government.
Most of the older officers OF the
Army and the Navy regard Col. Mitch
ellis offense as probably the most
deliberate with which a court ever
had to deal. They say there is nc
precedent for his conduct in the an
nails of either Army or Navy and
therefore no case with which to com
pare the severity Of his punishment.
1t is recalled that during the Spanish
War "embalmed beef scandal Brig
Gen. p. j. Egan, Of the Commissary
Department, was tried for calling Gen.
Nelson A. Miles u black liar" Under
this charge of disrespect for q fellow
officer he was sentenced to dismissal.
President Mckinley reduced the SEN
tence to suspension from duty for
five years, but without loss of rank
or pay and allowances. 1t is claimed
Col. Mitchells suspension is a violation
Of the Constitution because # SEN
fences him to suspension without pay
and deprives him of a means Of liveH-
hood
