Lumber Company
Hates Voice Action

Aberdeen, Wn. A report has
been received by the Grays Harbor
Local of the National Lumber
Workers Union that the bosses at
Saginaw Lumber Co.'s camp at
Brooklyn do not like the Voice of
Action, particularly the article ex-
posing the bosses and their high
ball system.
The boss and his henchmen came
down to the workers house who
had been blackballed and wanted
to know who wrote the article in the
May 1 edition of the Voice of Ac-
ton exposing them. He said the
company had always treated the
workers ok.
The worker replied that he didn't
know how many friends he had I'M
til he started to expose the bosses.
The NLWU will continue to or
ganize these camps against terror
and intimidation by stool pigeons.
Many workers have already lined
up with the union.

Everett, Wn., May l6-After two

the workers of this town have yet
shown the proposed relief cut has
been forestalled, cuts already given
are to be reimbursed, and there is
to be no discrimination against the
striking longshoremen or lumber
workers from the closed Weyer-

Seventy five delegates from the

this victory. The demonstration was
first organized to press the case of
worker whose water had been
turned off for months, in spite of
demands made by committee after
committee that it be turned on.
Burocrats Tremble; Turn on Water
Getting word of the planned
demonstration, the authorities or
dered the water turned on, so upon
hearing that they had been saved

delegates decided to demonstrate
anyway, marching in a body to the
relief offices to take up the matter

the Pinkerton Detective Agency in
the recruiting of thugs to smash
the longshoremen's strike.
A member of the order, which was

command of a battery, states that
other members are asked IL they
want a job and are sent to the Pin
kerton office at Room $50 White

are told to wear a good suit of

Seattle, Wash.-Striking herring

to accept the packers offer of eight
men to a vessel and AZ cents per
barrel. This makes an increase of
half cent per barrel and one extra

Many of the shoreworkers have
also Joined, with a determination to
line up the rest of the workers on
the job.
The workers and the fishermen
are seriously planning on making a
struggle for their demands when
on the job. The wages of the
shoreworkers are very low and the
working hours are as high as IS
hours per day without any extra
compensation whatsoever for the
overtime. Working conditions are
terrible with practically no medical
attention.
All are confident that our rank

ITO the Member Addressed:
zone of the most vicious legis-
lative proposals the State OF WASH
ington has ever known is embodied
in Initiative No. IS. If you read It
carefully you will readily see that
its purpose is to dispose of the
National Guard, take over the In
dustrial Insurance and put every
working man directly on the en-
ployers 'payrolls regardless of en-
ployment, with no one but the en-
ployer paying the bill. There isn't
even the slightest suggestion that
this employment insurance be a
contributory plan-the ONLY PLAN
of insurance that is equitable.
This measure seems so radical
that ones first impression Is there
can be no possibility of its success.
This, however, is questionable due
to conditions with which you are
familiar.
ut should be the desire of every
one to impede the progress of pc
titions that may be presented and
this office would greatly appreciate
any information as to petitions that
are being circulated, and the sue
cess they are receiving in the way
of signatures.
please bear this in mind and ad-
wise this office imediately should
you have any information.
Sincerely yours,

METAL MARKETS

NEW YORK. Sept. IS sD.-Euro-
pean copper prices seem to have sta
bilized at least temporarily at about the
6.S5 cents a pound c. i. +. Hamburg,
Havre and London level. Yesterday
sales ranged from S.s5 to $50 cents.
In the domestic market Blue Eagle
sold in very small quantity at 9 cents
a pound delivered to the end of No
vember.
The Copper Institute reported that
stocks of copper in the Americas de-
clined 1880 tons, while abroad stocks
increased $500 tons during August;
United states stocks are the principal
item on this side of the Atlantic. Pro-
duction here was $3.50 tons. and abroad
86.25O tons. Apparent consumption in
the United States ran to $4,000 and in
foreign markets, 77,75O tons.
About 95 per cent of major consumers
have signed the buying agreement the
authority revealed.
Zinc prices broke 10 points more late
yesterday, selling at cents q pound,
East st. Louis. Although small sales
were made at the new low, the market
could hardly be described as even fairly
active. Excessive production this week
and a very slight demand were respOn-
sible for the continued easiness in the
market.
. Lead sales were small with the price
unchanged at $40 to 3.75 cents, New
York, and 3.55 to $50 cents, st. Louis.
The decline of SO per ton in zinc during
the week is not encouraging to the
metals trade in general and an unsteady
tone in lead was manifest.
