Lumber Operators
Break State Law
By Worker Correspondent

PORT ANGELES, WASH, Jan.
10-In a direct violation of the
state safety laws, it is common
practice at the Crescent camp to
haul workers to the job, along
with a trainload of logs. In order
to save paying overtime to the
train crews, they hook the crum-
mic onto the train load of emp
ties going out in the morning.
AS there is switching to be
done, workers have to start at
6:10 in the morning to get to the
job at s. One loci could get them
there in 45 minutes.
The return trip at night is
even worse. Mulligan cars are
hooked to the log train and the
workers quitting at 4:30 arrive
in camp at 6 after sitting or
standing in the cold cars, which
are unheated with no doors.
Protest of these conditions has
been sent to the State Safety
Commissioner, but the crew real
ICES that it is only by militant
action on the job and by pub
LEFTY in the labor press that re-
forms of this nature are accom-
plished.
Members of the National Lum-
Der Workers Union are taking
action on the situation.

Tyler's Letter

Following is the letter sent by
Dean Tyler to the secretary OF
the League:
Dear Sir:
After talking with you on the
telephone yesterday | have made
some inquiries which convince
me that the meeting on January
18th at Eagles Auditorium is
being held under COmmunistic
sponsorship. l did not under
stand this when I agreed to speak
and am writing to cancel my
agreement to appear on your
program. l am doing this for two
reasons-in the first place, 1 am
not in sympathy with the meth
DDS of the Communist Party, and,
secondly, the Technocrats for
whom L was to speak, are also
unsympathetie with Communist
ic policy.
viii you kindly strike my
name from any literature to be
used in advertising this meeting.
My agreement to appear on this
program arose through a misun-
derstanding of the nature of the
meeting.
Very truly yours,
r. G. Tyler,
Voice of action. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1933-1936, 1935-01-11

An unemployment and social insurance sys-
tenn must be designed to ensure the masses
against any lowering of their living standards.
1t must serve to increase purchasing power,
stimulate productivity in the interest of a
higher living standard and lead to necessary
redistribution of wealth that is withheld from
circulation.
In recognition that this type of insurance
can be enacted in the state of Washington,
pending the enactment of like measure by
the Federal government the Workers Unem-
ployment and Social Insurance Bill HR 1898,
is being put forward in this state in the form
of Initiative to the State Legislature. This in
itiative is now being circulated to secure the
required $4,000 signatures. For those who are
willing to engage in socially constructive work,
but are being denied that opportunity through
no fault OF their own, We must demand CON-
pensatiOn equal to the average wages which
workers could earn if permitted to work at
their normal occupation and localities, as set
forth in the Workers Unemployment and Social
Insurance Bill.
In no case shall compensation be less than
$10.0e weekly for each adult worker and $500
weekly for each dependent
The full funds for unemployment insurance
shall be raised from funds now set aside for the
state militia and other military purposes and by
taxation upon incomes over 5000 year. In no
instance shall there be any contributions lev
led upon the workers in any form whatsoever
for this insurance.
All workers, regardless of age, occupation,
color, sex, nationality citizenship, religious
or political belief must be assured such COM
pensaton for all time lost because of involun-
tary unemployment old age, industrial acct
dent OF sickness and maternity.
Representatives directly elected by the
workers should administer the social insurance
system so that it would be operated in accord
ance with their conditions interests and needs.
These principles, embodied in HR $685. were
introduced in the 73rd Congress of the United
States by Representative Lundeen of Mime
sofa MORE than 2.400 locals and the regular
conventions of five international and six state
bodies of the American Federation of Labor,
have endorsed this measure. Also the unions
of the Trade Union Unity League, the inde-
pendent unions, practically every known unem-
ployed organization, farmers and professionals
and individuals of all classifications.
Reaffirming our endorsement of these prin-
ciples, we also declare our opposition to the
many proposals and measures, such as the
Wagner-Lewis Bill and the Townsend plan which
failed to embody the necessary principles for
real protection Of all concerned. AS against the
forces that oppose and seek to mislead, confuse
and divide the growing movement for social
security we place our united effort toward the
calling Of State Congress for Unemployment
and Social Insurance, to be held in Olympia in
January
This Congress shall meet to exert pressure
on the Legislature to act without delay upon
such a program as formulated We cordially
and earnestly invite all who need and all who
desire to help advance program Of adequate
Voice of action. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1933-1936, 1935-01-11

protection for all persons to participate in this
Congress.
$1,000 year. In no instance shall there be any
contributions levied upon the workers in any
form whatsoever for this insurance.
Section 6. The unemployment insurance
fund shall be administered and controlled by the
workers through unemployment insurance COM
missions composed of rank and file members OF
workers organizations. Unemployment insur-
ance commissions shall be empowered to estab-
lish free employment exchanges for the regis
tration of workers, the payment of unemploy-
ment insurance, the hearing of contested claims
for unemployment insurance and appeals from
awards made

been enacted by the federal government.

Roslyn Relief Heads
Use Discrimination

ROSLYN, Wash, Jan. 10-Man-
euvering of the relief bureau to
keep militant workers off relief
and cutting from the welfare rolls
men active in workers struggles
has been exemplified here by
Miss Swanson, acting agent, who
notified an applicant that, unless
he would make a statement of
all he has earned and spent in the
past Is years, she would be UNI
able to put him on unemploy-
ment relief.
AS this was an impossible de-
mand, the worker protested. He
has no bank account, no credit
and no postal account. But the
agent said she had approached
certain people" who said he did
not need relief and her organiza-
ton would only help the neediest
families and was not to be ex-
plotted.
