lions in the OCC camps and tran
silent camp here are very poor.
According to reports wage cut
was made at the Clatsop SERA
camp.
At CCC Camp Boyington the
boys sleep in wooden hunks min
us a spring. When a new recruit
comes into camp he rustles up
some straw and fixes up a mat
tress for himself. They sleep in a
large room. whereas the officers
have two in a room and have cots
to sleep on.

The ration allowance of the
men Is SO cents a day. or II cents
a meal. and at present the quail
ty of the food is being sacrificed
so that tin dishes now in use can
be replaced by erOckery dishes.
Here is a sample of breakfast:
Leftover meats, warmed over
toast and potatoes with coffee.
The camp, which has about 240
men. gets 30 gallons of milk day.
However, the men do not get the
milk until the cream is skinned
off and fed to the officers.
The men in camp receive 81 a
day, whereas the officers, captain
and second lietenant, receive any
where from $500 a month up, ac-
cording to reports.
In order to leave camp a good
reason must be had. Dissatisfac-
ton with conditions at camp is
not considered a good reason. II
one has job on the outside he
can leave.
Speakers are sent at regular in
tervals to inject the boys with
patriotism and nationalism."
Once each month a report is
made to army headquarters on
the morale of the boys. Already
the boys are being discouraged
to find jobs on the outside when
their term of enlistment is over.

Seattle Times Caught
In Phony Red Scare

SEATTLE, Nov. 20 = A few
weeks ago the Sunday Times
printed in the magazine section
a sensational story entitled "The
New Terror of the Sea-" depicting
the bearded Bolshevik terrorist
endangering the lives of all sea-
faring persons.
The Moro Castle tragedy was
used as an example. This story
was printed in the Times even
after the red scare story of the
tragedy had been positively re-
futed and discarded and the
blame had been placed on the
ship owners.
However, down in the last par
agraph, with probably few read
ers wading through that much
slOp, the author of the article
states that it was probably not
the Communists who fired the
MORO Castle.

filed by William ii. Fisher OF
Kelso, who signed the bill as q
representative of the Cowlitz
County Sportsmen's Association.
This is exactly what the work of
Mr., Mackovich, who has been
eonniving with the sportsmen
and the boss packers, win lead to.
Packers Hide Behind Sportsmen
Even before the formation of
the Salmon Conservation League
which was used as the official
sponsor OF Initiative II, We point
ed out to the fishermen and
warned them not to get mixed
up and entangled I'm the net OF
the sportsmen, who are nothing
but the official agents of the
packers The history of the past
years has proven to us that the
sportsmen, regardless Of under
what name they masquerade, are
but a silk glove In the hands Of
the boss packers, used for re-
pressive legislative action
against the small fishermen.
Because the real grievance OF
the fishermen and the people
of the Northwest was, and still
is, the complete abolition Of the
fish traps, the packers and trap
owners saw fit to include I'm the
bill II, among other things, the
limiting of gill net licenses on
the Puget Sound to only those
that held a license in 1882 and
1888, to limit trolling on the in
side waters to six hooks for
each boat, to GUST the set nets
from the entire state, with re-
strictions on purse seiners.
To Fine Small Fishermen
In addition the law also i'm
poses heavy fines for any infrac-
ton or violation, such, as the
confiscating of all boats, gear, or
any other apparatus that the
fisherman may have, with a $1,000
fine and a year Imprisonment.
We realize that no penalty is
too severe for the packers and
corporation trap owners, but
these laws are made by the big
bosses to be enforced upon the
poor man, SO that the small fish
ermen become the victims. Now
that Initiative n is passed, the
fishermen must organize and de-
mand from the Governor and
other state authorities the i'm
mediate abolition of the traps
and the opening of Puget Sound
waters for gill METERS, trollers
and purse seiners. We must i'm
mediately organize mass fight
against this latest move of the
sportsmen and prevent the Legis-
lature from passing the bill
which would abolish purse sein.

Longer Hours and Wage Cuts
Loom
The StimsOn Mill Company of
Ballard let the cat out of the
bag in maneuvering the workers
to support an injunction against
the West Coast Lumbermen's AS
ISOLATION for longer hours, With
the starvation wages being paid
already and with the reduction
of hours, many workers are act
ually receiving wages comparable
to the amount that the average
family is receiving on relief. By
working longer hours at the same
or lower rate of pay, the mill
operators expect to satisfy the
workers discOntentment and stop
them from organizing and fight
ing for higher wages and shorter
hours.
BlOedel camps have already
attempted to force their lOggers
to work AZ hour week, but mil
liant action put a stop Temporal
lily to this.
Operators Agents support
Lower Pay
The company Al leadership is
conducting regular meetings in
behalf of the plans the operators
wish to put over on the workers.
In their recent meeting in Port
land the board has voted to re-
tain the present minimum wage
scale for the coming year. Numer-
Gus resolutions have been sent
in by the rank and file for a so
cents per hour minimum, but
they have been unanimously re-
jected by the protectors of the
big operators.
War Preparations Create
Demand for Lumber
With the feverish war prepar-
ations the Lumber Associations
are releasing statements that or
ders are increasing. Prices of
lumber are going skyward and a
bigger percentage of profits are
being reaped by the operators.
The present conditions existing
in the lumber industry for the
workers are steadily becoming
worse. The unorganized state of
the workers leaves an open field
to put over such campaigns as
is being launched by the operat-
Ors.
Militant Struggle Only Outlet
For Workers
The operators have boldly
stated what their intentions are
for the coming year. This should
be carefully analysed by the
workers and preparations made
to combat this attack.
During the shutdown the
lumber workers must organize
into unions OF their own choosing.
Elect rank and file leaders, raise
your demands for shorter hours
and increase in pay.
Workers in the AFL unions,
GUST the boss agents from your
leadership and struggle for bet
ter conditions.
UnOrganized lumber workers,
join the National Lumber Work
ers Union and help to build a
united front of all lumber work
ers.
The operators have openly de-
clared war against our living
standards. The only answer we
can make is organized mass
strike action for our demands.

PAY DUE
THIS WEEK

Employees in the smaller Gov.
ernment agencies will probably
get a "break" in the matter Of
retroactive payments under the
pay restoration program, it ap-
peared today.
The new pay tables and a cir
cular letter which accompany
them will be ready probably to-
morrow, it was said at the Cen
eral Accounting Office. These
will be transmitted promptly to
all Government agencies affected,
and thereafter the payment of
sums due retroactively will be
made as soon as the mechanical
job of Ogetting checks made out
can be completed.
Naturally, this is going to be
an easier job in the smaller
agencies than in the large ones,
and it was confidently expected
today that employees Of a num-
Der of independent offices would
enjoy the results Of pay restora-
ton before the end of the pres
ent week.
In his initial statement re-
garding restoration, the Comp
troller General recommended that
the retroactive payments be
made at the earliest possible
date.
