eient military organization.

At West Point. Through sopne
assistance from the state and
contributions by members and
public spirited citizens Of Ia
coma. the troop became fairy
well equipped and in 1890 was
mustered into the national guard
of Washington as a battalion
organization. New officers sp-
pointed AZ that time included
Capt. J. A. Beebe. SURGEON: ".
o. Robb. qusrtermaster; W. ?.
Bonney, hospital steward with
the rank of sergeant.
Though the troop had per-
formed other minor services as
a unit Of the national guard.
the first serious official engage
ment was in the coal strike in
King county In 1891. The
trouble Is said to have origi-
mated through the political ac-
tivities of the Oregon Improve
ment company. The other side
of the story is that a group of
political racketeers were at
tempting to hold up the COM
pany and it was necessary to
fight with fire.
Trouble had been brewing
about 50 days before the
mines were shut down. Even
then an outbreak might have
been avoided IL II had not
been for the importation OF
professional strike breakers,
Pinkerton detectives, and an
organization known ~ "Sul-
hvan Guards.s The sswar.
started July 4, 1891.
Newspaper correspondents at
the front" included L. E.
RAIDER and w. A. Ryan. Both
accused the Sullivan gang Of
starting the riots which result
ed in calling out the national
guard. They also accused Col.
]. c. Haines, commander of
the state troops Of deliberately
assigning troops where they
would interfere least with the
activities of the imported strike
breakers. There are two sides
to that, also, for one of the
duties assigned Capt. Ashton
was disarmament of the Sulli-
van gang and all other strike
breakers.
Troop B saw three weeks Of
strenuous service on scout and
patrol duty in the wilds around
Black Diamond, Gilman, Frank
lin and Palmer Junction. Few
national guard units ever spent
a more uncomfortable period in
the field. They were made
quately equipped, and because Of
feud between Gen. r. G.
O'Brien, the adjutant general,
and Col. Haines, commanding
the troops in the field, some Of
the state supplies never reached
them. They were short Of tents
and so m etimes they went
hungry.
One of the newest recruits
who gave a good account Of
himself was the late Everett G.
Griggs, who later became cap
tain and then a battalion COM
mander. He was highly COM
mended by Capt. Ashton.
In addition to scout and
patrol work, to Troop b was
assigned the duty Of disarm-
ing the detectives and guards
hired by the company. They
took q number Of repeating
rifles, revolvers and several
thousand rounds of ammuni-
ton. II was largely due to
the work of Capt. Ashton and
his men that the company
agreed to removal Of the
strikebreakers and Sullivan
guards. That opened the way
for a settlement of the strike.

DEFENSE PROGRAM
WITHOUT STRIKES,
PERKINS PREDICTS

Boston, Mass.-Secretary of Labor
Frances Perkins scoffed at the pos
sibility of strike-disruption of this
country's national defense program in
an address before the fifty-fifth an
nual convention of the Massachusetts
Federation of Labor.
She told the delegates that the
rights and liberties we enjoy carry
certain duties and obligations to pro-
mote the welfare of others" and that
1--WE now realize in the light Of the
emergency that individual rights must
be secondary to the welfare of the
entire nation"
Commencing the cooperation be-
tween labor and industry on national
defense, Miss Perkins predicted that
strikes would not hamper the pro-
gram as they did in 1917, because
'1abor now has the rights for which
it struck then-recognition and de-
cent working conditions"
At the same time, she declared
there was no shortage of skilled
labor, with the exception of copper
smiths for work on warships, and ex-
pressed doubt that long work week
would speed up defense on the grounds
that experience in the last war had
shown it was possible to make more
goods, more quickly with a short
hour week.
Robert j. Watt, international rep
resentative of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, told the convention that
negotiation must be the process
rather than strike if labor unions are
to gain the effectiveness and public
confidence which are especially essen
tial in the defense program"
"Many a legitimate strike" he said,
"will have to be avoided by the self
discipline of labor unions if we are
to curb the efforts of our domestic
enemies"
Mr.. Watt called for creation of a
"ferce spirit of democracy in Amer
lea which will brook no assaults from
without and which will tolerate no
termites from Within
He said that the Sherman anti
trust law was zone piece of legisla-
tion which may have to be altered
to coordinate defense programs, but
organized workers would not weep if
this cumbersome boomerang piece Of
legislation were Strengthened out"

BY speed distance, defeated, is be-
ing whitfield down
Men harnessed electricity, twin
brother to light
Let it carry messages across con-
tinents and seas
With same swift habit light had
used in coming from the sun
Mingling speeds from oil of coal and
captured lightning
Are carrying men at speeds ap-
proximating stars
Speed takes slices out of distance:
obliterates remoteness.
Minds and morals of men, are laid
down like beds of coal
BY slow processes of generations of
living
Human thinking is translated into
action, not by swift refexes-
But by slow comparisons of memo

When controls were proposed cor
responding to their powers
The owners talked of revolution"
Thus among nations: old tradi-
tons
Calling for much red tape and long
drawn-out talky-talk-
Were suited to times of men-in-
armor-
Statesmen schooled in these ancient
customs
Find it hard to accept the hard re-
alities of a new era
In which SPEED is being applied:
to commerce, and to WAR
And so, perforce, to relations be-
tween governments.
Here again, new owners of new in
struments of SPEED
Insist that old principles of social
control are obsolete
That modern governments must be
autocratic-
But this has been said of every new
facility
For which, later, after testing of
all others
Democratic methods of control have
been formulated
And are now continuing in develop
ment and use
Every new autocrat-
Gathering into his own hands con-
trolls
Of fruits of generations of social
experience and labor
Insists that he has something new,
and different
Beyond the understanding of the
common herd
But, throughout the centuries, au-
tocrats have come and gone
While the people have worked out
the solutions of their own
This is not new thing, this
SPEED, except in it's degree.

Could be controlled by horse-and-

But when steam and electricity
added power and speed
Outdistancing slow movements of
legal control
Disorder crept apace among insti-
tutions of society
For laws were made by minds ac-
customed to slow motion
Which suited owners Of newer forms

Swift-moving in business matters,
they preferred slower law control

In light refracted from past events,
new problems are examined
New batteries of ideas are set up
From which go currents of thought
throughout the world
Once started thus, ideas can travel
again like lightning.

travelled on foot
Town-meetings could keep up with
progress of events

100 years

Steigerwald, airplane production
engineer of North Hollywood, Calf =,
said yesterday that several avia-
ton engineers of his acquaintance
had recently received anonymous
warnings not to go abroad to help
Great Britain speed aircraft pro-

Mr.. Steigerwald. a Lockheed Air

the Dixie Clipper with George ALL
gies of Los Angeles, another Lock-
heed production man. He said they
would be abroad at least a year

Close Cooperation Needed.
In all this work close cooperation
is necessary among observers, search
light crews, anti-aircraft gunners
and defense planes.
To avoid attacking their own
planes, the ground forces and fight
er pilots all have taken careful
courses in study Of silhouettes of all
planes in use, the sound of their
motors and every possible Identify
ing detail.
In addition, British planes carry
racks of signal flares which are fired
in color combinations known only to
British flyers and gunners.
Radio is used between planes and
between planes and ground, particu-
larly in the case of bombers return
ing from raids on Germany. Ap-
preaching home shores, they employ
signals like ships at sea.
If any pilot finds himself in hot
spot of anti-aircraft fire or is at
tackled by a plane which has mis-
taken his nationality, he uses his
flares and radio. If a plane on his
tail doesn't answer Immediately, he
assumes it is an enemy.

Nazis Drop Five Million
Bombs in Year Of War
By the Associated Press.

d. ILt ASSOCldleO FTSSS.
BERLIN, Aug. 3l.-In a year Of
war German planes have dropped
5,000000 bombs weighing more than
$4,000 tons, authoritative sources
said today.
This amounts, they said. to so
American treinloads of 30 cars each.
The bombers, operating on 220
lays, have carried out $500 attacks,
it was stated.
The tabulation credited German
planes with sinking 500 merchant.
men and warships with gross tom
mage of 100000. and said TOO
other vessels of 3,5Oo,OOO tons were
damaged.
From the beginning of the war
through July 81, it was claimed, the
navy and air force combined sank
1895 $50 tons of enemy shipping or
neutral shipping ''in the service of
the enemy" exclusive of vessels
sunk by mines.
The Germans said $3.50 enemy
planes had been destroyed.
They estimated Germany's loss in
man power for the year as follows:
Dead, $4,000; wounded, $4,000:
missing, $4,000
This. they said, compared with
total German losses of $4,000 in
the first four months of the World
War.
