Lewis and Clark visited with the
Wahkiakum Indians on Nov. 7 and,
late in the day, came in view of the
great Pacific's horizon. No doubt
they offered a prayer of thanksgiv-
ing for having arrived safely at the
goal of their ambitions. But they
met with a stormy reception and
were assailed by wind and rain,
making a wet and cheerless camp
on the north side of the river. The
next day they dropped down the
river and entered Shallow (Gray's)
bay. There they were held storm
bound on the rocks for two days.
The weather clearing a little, they
made seven miles down stream, but
again had to land at a point called
by Clark, Point Distress (Ellice),
opposite the present Astoria.

Seeing Eye-w,oUnit

November ballot. We as work
ers know it is no good. But there
are a great many people who
are Indifferent and do not care.
So it is up to those who believe
in their union to go out through
the City and sell our idea for
their signatures.
Are you registered and able to
sign these petitions now and
able to vote in November. If not
pay visit to the Board of Elec-
tions, 217 Superior, right next
to Esquire Theatre any time
between 9 A. M. and S P. NJ.

duty.
AS members of the finest un-

wonder when Mr.. Siebens is
going to reorganize the garbage
collection department as it is
completely broken down now.
No garbage collection have been
made for over two weeks. The
city bosses howl at the citizens

and then never empty them till
they are full of magots. What

Permanent peace depends on

high level of goods and services
is necessary to accomplish these

To release an economy of

of its main current concerns. At
it's last convention resolution
was passed calling for the enact
ment of legislation to declare all
wages of less than 65 cents an
hour substandard.
Later, hearings were held in
Washington on a resolution to be
introduced into Congress by
Senator Pepper declaring it to
be the "sense of Congress" that
any wage under 65 cents an hour
is substandard.
If our postwar economy is to
avoid collapse, if our postwar So

Wage VS.. Price
Hikes

WASHIN GTON, July II
GPA) - One of the chief argu-
ments of employers against
granting pay raises is that they'd
have to raise the price of their
product and the public would
suffer. That's the tune which
War Labor Board members hear
over and over again.
But last week WLB gave the
game away when it revealed
that ''less than one per cent OF
the employers who voluntarily
ask for WLB approval of wage
increases for their workers
seek higher prices for their
products. Wartime profits,
declared one government Off
cial, are obviously so great that
more than 999o are not con-
cerned about higher prices.
An even smaller percentage,
WLB revealed, ultimately OBJ
tain the higher prices.
The WLB's quarterly report.
covering only the last three
months of 1914, showed A.
$50 applications, involving re-
.quested wage inrcesaSes for
more than 100000 workers.
"Of these $40 were approved
in whole or in part" said the
WLB. "The applications brought
immediate wage rate increases
averaging So cents an hour to
an estimated 535,670 although
about 869o of the 1000, 900
workers received some bene~
fits"

Political
Action

Chairman HkM AE
! Of the Political Action Committee
The citizens of Toledo and
people all over the nation are
interested in the model of the
Toledo of the future now on
display at Walbridge Park.
The engineering and the ar
chitecture of Toledo Tomor-
row leaves little to be desired
and the citizens of Toledo are
justly proud of the prospects
for the future. However to
bring this dream to realization
certain requireemnts must be
met. These requirements con-
sist of planning of a different
sort.
If the plans for the city of
the future are to be realized
we must start now laying the
foundation for healthy and
prosperous city. This means
that we must have a demo-
cratic form of city government
which will pass legislation in
the best interests of all the
citizens. There must be prof.
ects which will assure both
the beautifying of the city and
the elimination of unemploy-
ment.
The city government must
work in close harmony with
the State and Federal govern
ments to the. end that there
will be sufficient hospitals,
schools, libraries and other
public institutions to care for
the needs of all our citizens.
The workers of Toledo must
be assured of steady year
round jobs at living wages.
They must be assured of ade-
quate housing facilities at
rentals in line with their in
comes. The will of the ma
jority must prevail in city
government and at the same
time the rights of all minori-
ties must be protected.
The first step in assuring
the establishment of a truly
representative form of city
government is to repeal the
pro portional representation
method of electing city coun-
cilmen and replace it with a
system under which the voter
places an x beside the names
of nine candidates for city
council and the nine candi-
dates polling the largest num-
ber of votes are declared
elected.
This is the plan called for
in the PAC petitions for the
repeal of P. r. The city man.
ager plan and the nine man
council will remain intact but
under our plan the council
men will be elected at large
by plurality vote.
In order to get the issue on
the ballot this fall we must
file 1880 valid signatures
with the clerk of Council by
the 9th of August. Time is
growing short. If you have
not signed a PAC petition for
the repeal of p. R. do so now.
See the PAC representative in
your shop or come to the
PAC headquarters at 425 Win
throp st. If you can circu-
late a P. R. repeal petition
please come to our office or
get one at CIO headquarters,
or at the office of your CIO
local.
Membership in PAC is only
one dollar per year. IT you
are not a member join now
and help promote social leg
islation to bring about full
employment, protection OF
civil liberties and adequate So
cial security safeguards for
all the people.
