"The suffering and bloodShed
which results from the use of state
police and militia is directly the re-
Sponsiblity of Governor Martin,
who is acting in behalf of the small
number of mill operators, and
against the huge army of striking
lumber workers.
Everyone wants the strike to
end. II is the employers who are
responsible for prolonging it by
refusing to grant the very reason
able and just demands of the lumber
workers of the Northwest. The Joint
Nnrthmact Ctr;ka Committee daeirae
to end the strike and has been and
is ready to negotiate with any and
all employers, or to continue the
strike until the demands are grant
ed.
"Abe Muir does not represent
the strikers, having been repeatedly
repudiated by them. The strikers
have elected their representatives
to the Joint Northwest Strike Com
mittee, and through this Committee
are appealing to the whole labor
movement to aid in their strike for
living wage.
Call For Protests
THE Joint Northwest Strike
Committee calls on all workers and

Ryan Aide Makes
Treacherous Moves Against
Virginia liza Local

NORFOLK, Va.-George Millner,
third vice president of the lnterna-
tional LongShoremenS Association,
and national representative in Hamp-
ton Roads, Va, is carrying on
campaign to prevent rank and file
delegates of Locals i22t'and 97S
from attending the national conven-
ton of the lLA.
Milner fears that these delegates
will fight the Ryan machine of which
he is part. and will demand his ex-
pulSon from the lLA. Millner's
record shows that his fears are
well founded.
Charged With Theft
At one time he was charged with
stealing ten thousand dollars from
Local 97S. He helped the boss
stevedore at Lamherts Point to lay
off gangs at this pier, and then
tried to have these men expelled
from the union. Following a long
list of similar betrayals the men,
berS of Local 97S got together ann
threw Mlilner out.
He then managed TO worm HIS
way into Local i248.
The men are determined to send
their delegates to the convention
and fight for the following de-
mandS: I. A national uniform agree
ment. ,. For one dollar per hour,
and the Six-hour day, fiye-day
week. 3. For central hiring hall,
controlled by the liza. 4. For the
ousting of Joseph Ryan as interna-
tional president.

WASHINGTON, Aug. add to
the family of Federal law enforce
ment officers the "W-men."
Already famous are the Omen"
OF the Justice Department, the T.
men Of the Treasury, the Secret
Service and Louis CLAWS PWA in
Yestigstors.
The "W-men" came into being
With the work relief fund. II is

Headed by Dallas bort, youthful
chief Of the Works Progress Ad-
ministration's Bureau Of Investiga-
ton, the 'W-men" will be scattered
throughout the country. Fifteen
held headquarters have been estab-
hShed. The number of operatives
assigned TO each state will be deter
mined by the volume of work prof.
ects under construction.
Selects Men Carefully
bort said today he was selecting
his men carefully, and that Jobs al
ready had been given to many who
had seen service in the Justice De-
partment. An applicant must be
either a lawyer or an accountant.
Preference is being given to younger
men,
A primary function of the Wv
men" will be to carry out President
Roosevelt's mandate that work re-
lief shall be free of political inter-
ference.
Improper political activity by
work relief officials, eXertion of
partisan pressure on relief workers,
and collection of contributions are
classified as violations of the Work
Relief law.
Watch All Works Projects
Other acts for which the law pro-
vides Federal fines and imprison-
ment include:
Forgery of assignment or time
sheets; padding of pay rolls, false
statements in project applications
with intent to defraud, "kickback"
of salaries to contractors or project
supervisors. theft and embezzlement,
bribery and special fees paid, and
intentional violation of labor pro-
visions of contracts as to wage and
hour rates.
The ''W-men" will investigate not
only work projects under the Works !
Progress Administration, but also
those carried on by the Public |
Works Administration and by other
Federal agencies. The President, by
executive order, placed responsibility |
for enforcement of the Work Relief |
Acts criminal provision under Dort's |

PROPOSES CHANGE
IN TEXT BOOK LAW
Senator Watson'S Bills Offer
Wider Choice.

Two bills to amend the present
uniform textbook law we're intro
duced yesterday in the Senate by
Chester K. Watson eft. Wayne) .
The bills propose that the State
Board of Education pick four text
books in each subject and for each
grade in both common and high
schools.
The present statute provides only
one text to be used by all schools
for a f1ve-year period. The amend
ment also provides that only one
of the four texts may be dropped
at the end of the five years. Only
the least-uSed text of the four
could be replaced.
Local school units would be held
to their choice of texts until the
book was dropped from the list by
the state board. Statesmen would
be prohibited from soliciting the
school units unless invited.

Committees of Senate and
House o. K. III of 19
Measures.

Committees on Natural Resources
in both the House and Senate yes
terday reported favorably on all but
two Of the 10 conservation bills
placed in their hands last Friday.
Apparently spurred on by the ex-
ample Of the House group in the
morning, the Senate committee met
later in the day and made quick
work of nine measures. The tenth,
a bill to separate the fish and game
licenses and charge 81 for each, was
held for further consideration.
Five new conservation acts we're
introduced in the afternoon session
of the Senate.
The Discretionary bill proposes to
give the Conservation Department
power to abridge or suspend open
seasons or bag limits in those Sec
tons of the state where conditions
warrant. open seasons and bag
limits now can not be increased,
but can only be decreased. A sea-
son can not be closed less than five
years in any locality.
Another bill provides for revoca-
ton and denial of hunting and fish,
ing license where the holder is con-
victed of violation of the fish or
game laws. The offending sports
man may be refused a new license
for term not exceeding two years.
-Four amendments of the present
statutes would prohibit the pitch
forking or sharing of carp, suckers
and garfish between sunset and sun
rise; reduce the length limit of
large and small mouth bass from
II to 10 inches; make it unlawful to
buy or sell game fish, whether taken
in the state or shipped into the
state; prohibit the sale of purchase
of any wild rabbit, and provide
possession limit of 20 rabbits at one
time.
