While one Of the largest milk deal

on the picket line in the strike of the
international Garment Workers Of

serve their terms to the last day, for
the crime Of being true to their organ
ization and their class.
Every effort to obtain pardon for
these % women by organized labor

ers has SO far failed. Judge Sullivan,
who sentenced them for alleged vio-
lation of his injunction against the
strikers, brutally denounced these
women strikers as "ruffians" and
"Amazons" when Jane Adams and
others pleaded with him for ieniency.
Governor Len Small, who has the
greatest record Of issuing pardons in
the United States, took the matter of
pardoning these mothers, wives and
daughters "under advisement" when a
delegation Of prominent trade union
officials and social settlement workers
called on him.
In the meantime the sentences of
these courageous women are begin
ming to expire. The first thirteen
whose sentences ran ten days we're
released. Some Of these mothers,
however, are in Jail for so days, while
their little children anxiously await
their return.
When your candidate comes up for
election at the primaries be sure that
your choice is pledged firmly and Sc
curely to support the peaceful pick

chance to secure this essential measure
for the protection Of the workers is
by demanding an unequivocal pledge
Of support.

Reading VS. Thinking

It is good to read, If what we read
is good, but reading even of the best
can easily be overdone.
Thomas Hobbies, in his "Leviathan,"
declared that If he had read as much
as certain learned men he would prob
ably be as ignorant as they were.
1t was a just criticism. Too much
reading muddles the mind, and Injuries
the capacity for thought.
It induces US to rely entirely on
the authority of others. Our heads
are filled with the bewildering echoes
Of thousand voices; we become hope
lessly lost in a Jungle of secondhand
ideas.
Push books aside for a time, and do
little original thinking.
Give your brains a show. Don't
stifle them under the weight Of a
surfeited memory.
Thinking is an irksome process
when we are not accustomed to it. We
are apt to weary Of it very soon, and
fly to the written thoughts of others
Tor TeiieI.
Resist the temptation, brother,
Think for yourself occasionally. Don't
be intimidated by the size Of any sub
ject or the complexity of any problem.
II Is marvellous how they will succumb
to a little mental energy, courageous
ly applied.
It's grand to have the works of the
great creators Of literature. It's a real
advantage to be able TO consult saga
cious writer's. But exercise your own
thoughts, too. Send them forth to
seek adventure. Encourage them to
explore the Unfamiliar and to be ever
ready for the Unexpected.
To read what others think is to
learn, but to think for oneself is to
live.-Australia Worker.

DEPENDSON
SECRECY OF BOSSES

8 CHICAGO, July 22-"The trade
union depends upon openness and pub
licity, while employers organizations
are largely based upon cunning and
secrecy" says the Bakers Journal.
Even the father of modern social
economy, Adam Smith, recognized the
difference between employers associ-
tions and labor unions.
THE masters, he said, do not only
ally themselves against journeymen.
There prevails among the ma silent
understanding which is much mare
dangerous to the workers than a fight
openly directed against them.
What was recognized more than
$50 years ago by Adam Smith can be
observed in our present times, prac-
tically day after day. Employers
organizations carefully try 60 shield
every activity against publicity.
after they organize for COM
mon action against the workers. the
blacklist makes its appearance.

not believe in open fighting. They
prefer the ambush method"

COUNTY FAIR BOARD
ADDS new BUILDINGS

ELMA, July 22.-The Grays Harbor
County Fair, which will open for its
five days run September 2, viii be
little different from former fairs.
Each year, in fact, sees changes in
fair grounds and buildings, and the
18th annual event Is no exception to
the rule. A great strength Of the local
fair in the opinion Of Secretary
Charles H. Palmer lies In the very
fact that It never has stood still. Ev-
cry year has seen inlptovs tAe
frnit Of Intelligent study and the de-
sire to make . more comprehensive
showing Of this rich territory's pro-
ducts and resources.
Three years ago were erected the
present modern poultry building and
cattle barn,
Two years ago saw the addition Of
wonderful two-story fine arts build
ing.
Last year were added new agri-
cultural building; and entrance struc-
ture, containing ticket offices, rest
room for men, check room, and
benches whereon picnic lunches might
be eaten; an organized labor building
for craft displays; and a thoroughly
, modern bandstand. z
This year sees these important im-
provements and additions:
In crease Of poultry section and cat
tie barn to twice their former size.
New bleachers, seating capacity be-
tween 800 and 900, to add to the grand
stands capacity Of about 1900.
Dining room operated by Elma Post,
American Legion, under the new
bleachers, dimensions IA by SO feet.
Enlargement Of the labor building
and its removal to a better site.
Rest room for mothers with babies
where, if desired, the infants may be
left in charge Of a competent attend
ant.
Each of these represents the meet
ing of q need for caring for exhibits
or attendance at what, 1t now seems
certain, viii be the biggest fair zee

EDITORIAL


When labor rests It dreams. It
seeks not the material things Of
life but instead It stretches forth
It's hands 10 the glory and the
beneficence of spiritual and cul-
turaI advantage. To dream. to
think, to toil--these are the pre-
negatives of the worker. He en-
braces them al and through such
embrace he seeks to realize the
traits Of each endeavor.
While labor has contemplated
the future and in its imagination
has envisaged q higher state Of
civilization, the individual work.
er has joined with his fellows for
the purpose of making his
dreams come true. There is no
romance in the depths Of 4 mine,
where men are called upon to
face death and disaster daily.
There can. be no development of
the artistic sense ia the heat and
depression Of the fiery furnace
No cultural or spiritual refine
ments attend the labors Of the
unslkilled, poverty-stricken work
er.
Such environments are not
conducive to the development of
the best within as, but, even SO,
those thus employed dream Of q
better day and 3 better life.
They long for the enjoyment Of
the blessings Of civilization and
industrial progress. They want
the beauty and radiance Of 4 con-
tented life. They ask for the
happiness Of home and family.
They seek the charm Of intelli-
gence and endeavor. To their
search they bring the mystery
Of heroisn and the wonder Of
sacrifice. William Green, Pres,
ident of American Federation OF
Labor.

their strike with renewed hope for an
early settlement.
Both the American Federation Of

MUSSOBNf FEARS
WRATH OF LABOR

MILAN, Italy, July 20.--Alarmed
at the ominous mutterings against the
nine-hour day decree, Mussolini has
ordered that the enforcement Of his
new rule be postponed.
The protest against an additional
hour, without pay, was made by a
committee representing the Ganerai
Confederation Of Labor. This Il the
legitimate Italian trade union move
ment that has been outlawed BY Mus
aplIni n the in1nssfiel centera IS
Northern Italy, and n tde ma6Ilneky
trades especially, the Confederation
maintains the skeleton of an organi-
zation. 1t dare not function as a mill
itant trade union, and Mussolini fears
to jail the brave souls who cling TO
their impotent unions, well knowing
that better days are In store for Italy.
These .unionists, together with all
other Italian workers, are compelled
TO join the Fascist unions, which are
recognized by the government. Only
those who accept the Fascist theory
that the sttae is supreme over the
individual--are permitted to have .
voice in the Fascist unions. All others
must pay dues but must remain ST.
lent.
When Mussolini issued his nine-
hour order, it was the General Con-
federation Of Labor that dared to pro-
test. Weak as they were, the dicta-
tor feared that the courageous stand
of the trade union committees would
spread, so he ordered retreat.
