Tear gas bombs have supple

for living wages and recognition of
their unions. Hundreds of workers
throughout the country have been
injured.
Still President Roosevelt remains
unmoved. He admitted recently that

MEN WON'T LOAD LUMBER ON
STEAM SCHOONER
TENEDA

Seattle, May 24-At the Stimson
mill we are organizing fast into the
National Lumber Workers Union.
AS a result Of our agitation on the
job, the general attitude of the
workers has changed. The boss has
been quick to sense this change
and as a result certain small gains
are already noticeable. Tom Grif-
fifth, the super, is not so certain
now that all of the Stimson EN-
ployees are contented slaves. 1t
only took them a few minutes TO
find out last week that we would
not scab on the longshoremen. The
steam schooner TeXeda was due at
Stimsons to pick up $50 NJ of sawed
lumber. They tried to get the mill
workers lined TAP to load her. Re-
suit was that the TeXeda was can
celled.
To Demand Relief During Layoff
Starting May 29 we are to be laid
off until the first of June. In our
Union meeting last night we laid
definite plans for our union work
during that period. The first thing
we will do is to go up to the relief
setup and demand relief during the
period of the shutdown. We will
try to get the non union workers
on the job TO do the same. We fig
ure that by us doing this we will
encourage the unemployed, thus
rallyng support in the fight for the
Workers Unemployment and Social
Insurance bill. Due to the very close
connection between the officials of
the Stimson mill and the officials
of the relief setup this action will
have a certain effect on the Slim
son mill.
Our next task during the shut
down is the contracting, and draw
ing into a meeting, all of the other
honest workers in the mill. BY do
ing this we will prepare for real
job action and force from the COM
pany decent wages and working
conditions.
Any worker who has not yet got
in touch with the local can do so

Two Ships Sail
The Ia MERGED and the Warwick

port since the Victoria sailed for
Alaska. The La MERGED was pulled
out by a tug and loaded with scabs
Wednesday night although pickets

night.
At a. m. May %, tug from the

The ISU had a small picket squad

they got aboard they pulled off the

The Victoria, which left here

Portland, Ore. - Grabbed by

waterfront, seven delegates to the
Northwest Students Conference
Against War, Faseisr, Unem-
ployment and Retrenehment in
Education, were griIIed for more
than an hour at headquarters"
for their activity, then released
without charge.
Passing a resolution supporting

Twenty minutes after their ar
rest, a delegation of strikers call
ed at the station and promised
mediate legal action in the stud
ents' behalf.
After a second attempt to worm
information from the student
delegates, police gave up and re-
leased them.
For the first time in the history
of the northwest, students from
colleges in Washington and Oregon
convened at conference to take
up the problems of war, fascism,
unemployment, and retrenchment in
education.

Thirty delegates representing nu-

Monmouth Normal School met at
two enthusiastic sessions on Sat

campus.
I'VE condemn without quaIifi-
cation the traditional arm chair
radicaIism Of college students"
the conference resolved, "for we
feel that no real gains can be
made unless our activity centers
about concrete problems and un-
less active struggle is carried on
against opposing forces"
On war, the delegates stated that
"imperialist wars are a necessary
outgrowth of the profit system.
I'VE feel that the only effective
method of combating such wars is
by constant struggle against every
form Of war preparation and every
attempt to build war psychology"
and 1--WE shall not consider our
selves successful unless we rally
the support of labor unions and
working class organizations for our
program"
Resolutions were drawn protest
ing against all acts of Fascist ter
ror to victimize the working class
such as calling out
city police, state militia, national

ilante and Silver Shirt terrorists.
On unemployment: I'VE, as col
lege students training ourselves for
productive employment, maintain
that as long as unemployment is
not remedied and wages steadily
decline -. college training is large

I'VE will back the stand of the
and part-time worker
for adequate relief, better condi-
tions, or unemployment and social
Insurance"
It was also resolved that re-
in education should be
fought on every front.

The sudden switch came after
Stanford staged an impressive
