SENATE CONTEST BRINGS OUT
FUNNY POLITICAL TIE.uPs

me lOnB-QreWn out contest over
the election of president protein Of
the Senate showed what funny com.
binations can be made in politics. II
has been quite generally stated that
the directors of the campaign against
Senator w. w. Conner, who in The
end was defeated by Senator E. j.
Cleary, were Sam A. Walker and ]. Y.
G. Kellogg, Of Seattle, neither OF
whom is a member of the legislature.
In the so-called Cow County" con.
vention and state committee fights,
Walker and Kellogg have represer ted
the King county element against
which the smaller counties organiz,d
Yet Walker and Kellogg only con
trolled two King county votes; they
made their alliances with senators
from a number of small counties, in.
Guiding the solid Spokane delegation
and four out of five Pierce county
members.
Another angle to the fight was that
Walker and Kellogg were in the
group that were recognized as hand
ling the Hartley campaign last fall
Yet they finally supported Senator
Cleary for president protein and
Cleary had been a French supporter.
Moreover most of the senators who
voted for Cleary also had supported
French. Most of the Conner group
Of senators were pro-Hartley during
the campaign.
Governor Hartley, by the way, kept
his hands off all Legislative organiza-
ton controversies.

thing needed is thorough under

ability to apply these principles to the

the situation. This meant cutting eff

A public child labor meeting was
held in the House chambers on

Miller, representative from Snohom-
ish county, presiding. Each side was
allowed one hour and fifteen minutes
each to present their arguments. For
the amendment were heard William

COVIET RUSSIA, in its fight for de
~ jure recognition by all the nations
Of the world, has had TO overcome
many obstacles. After armed inter-
vention and blockade by the united
imperialist armies and navies failed
TO break the workers and peasants
power, recourse was taken to the
more subtle poisoning process OF the
international capitalist propaganda
machine.
Many and varied were the stories
circulated against the Bolshevik re-
gime. One of the first, the national
ization' of women and children, stir
red up much prejudice before IL was
finally discredited. Then came stories
OF fictitious peasant uprisings re-
volts on the part of the very elements
whose ownership of land rested sole
ly upon the power of the government
against which they were supposed to
be In rebellion. Next came the ru.
mors OF civil war and internecine
strife in which Lenin imprisoned
Trotsky one day and Trotsky execut.

But all these phantasies of the CAPT
talist hacks were shown up one by

were infiamed, fears and hat
reds were loose, and any such
thing as calm discussion was
out of question. Just as the
western railroad promoters seized the
occasion of the battle of Gettysburg
to slip thru congress the gift of bill
lion dollars worth of western public
lands to the railroads, so the National
City Bank and its friends in the ad-
ministration saw and seized the mo-
ment to acquire Haiti.
A treaty driven thru at the point
of machine guns somewhat earlier had
given the American government the
right to occupy the country temper
arily, and to keep a financial adviser"
and collector there until 1925. The
financial sterilization and paciica-
ton" of Haiti by American bankers
and marines was thus legalized for
ten years.
But under cover of the approaching
declaration of war against the Ger
mans, Lansing and his friends Hitch
cock and Lodge declared in a further
treaty" that another ten years
should be added. due to the existence
of Wall Street loan which would ex-
tend more than the original ten-year
period. They got it.

Negotiations and some settlements
characterized the past week in the
Chicago industrial field. The elevated
railroad employees are to take another
referendum on the company offer to
renew for one year the contract that
expired June 1. A light vote at the
first referendum defeated the proposal
of members sticking to the union de-
mand for scent hourly increase. The
maximum rate is now n cents. Nego-
tiations resulted in the decision for
another vote early next week.
Chicago teachers will get no pay
increases before fall. by decision of
the new school board. The Teachers
Federation is not weeping, since it
maintained right along that the raises
proposed by William McAndrew, the
big-business superintendent, could not
be met by present school revenue ex-
cept at the expense of the children.
The union opposed increases gained
from sacrificing the children's inter
ests and demanded that the tax laws
be enforced to give the school system
its just revenue from the tax-dodging
corporations and estates. This the
authorities declined to do.
