Page Four 'SEVEN SISTERS" PETITIONS DEBATED AT RAYMOND (By E. P. Marsh.) The first of what may be a series of debates upon the merits of the "Seven Sisters" initiative petitions occurred In the West Lfnion Grange hall, four miles east of Hammond Friday evening. June IS. The debate was arranged by officers of the Menlo Grange and the local secretary of the Stop-l.ook-l.isten League. Fred Chamberlain and my self argued for the measures, L I). McArdle. member of the legislature from Jefferson county, and ex Slate Senator McGowan. canneryman, took the negative. Each speaker was given thirty minutes, the affirmative having ten minutes each tor rebuttal. Of course each speaker is perfectly sure ho had the best of the argument. Mr. McArdle, who followed me. was more than decent in the manner in which he avoided personalities. ilis talk was clean and was confined wholly to combatting the bills on the ground of their 'probable stagnating effect upon the industries of th I state." Mr. Mc- Ardle has always been allied with the reactionary forces in the legislature but for all that it is a pleasure to pay j him the respect of saying that he was j courteous in his presentation of his ar gument, whatever may be his private opinion of the organisation I repre sent. The same cannot be said of Mr. Mc- Gowan. From beginning to end of his half hour tirade he directed a stream Of attempted ridicule and abuse at Mr. Chamberlain and the farmers in general tor having the temerity to question the methods of the fishing in dustry. You would think to hear him talk that the fish combine in this state was beyond question, criticism or in vestigation and no doubt would, if lu had his way, clap every man who dared lift up his voice in criticism of his industry in jail for the rest of their, natural lives. Put Mr. McGowan! caught a tartar in the person of Fred Chamberlain. Fred is some bear cat. If ever a gentleman was mussed up. Mr. McGowan was when Chamberlain made his rebuttal. Dozens of people crowded around him after the debate was over to congratulate him and one business man of Raymond assured him that the fish bill appeared altogether different than it had before the debate. Mr. A. C. Little, owner and editor-in chief of the Raymond Review, mayor of the city, and (saith Dame Rumor) . political boss of Pacific county, was a prominent lay figure in the proceed ing. Mr. Little for some reason ob jected strenuously to the regular rules of debate being followed, insisting that we waive our right of rebuttal, each side confining itself to straight half hour presentation of its argument. The unfairness of such a proceeding is apparent to anyone who has ever listened to debate. It would have been fine dope to allow the gentlemen to answer our argument with no oppor tunity to answer theirs. Indeed. Mr. Little loudly declaimed that unless we waived this right there would be no de bate. Needless to say we stood pat and Mr. Little had to subside * * * Within a few days our petitions will be in the hands of the secretary of State for checking and shortly after we should know whether or not they are io at.pear upon the ballot. The press of the state, having clarvoyant pow ers, has solemnly assured the people is now on the market. After many months of labor and much expense we offer you a beer equal to the celebrated German Beers. Phone 159 for a case to be delivered to your home. EVERETT BREWING CO. I that the "Seven Sisters" and the eight hour bill Will fail of enough signatures |0 be placed upon the ballot. What secret source of information the news papers have we do not know. Prob ably the "wish is father to the thought." Coupled with the assurance that the bills are lost the voters are reminded that they may withdraw, their signatures If they so wish by so Inotifying the secretary of state. The part that a leading portion of the press Of this state has assumed during this initiative campaign is not at all to its credit and is a sad commentary on the boasted "fredom of the press." I will I give the Siop-Look-and Listen League people credit with bavins; shrewdness enough or 'money enough" which some i times amounts to the same thing—to i work the press to a queen's taste. It is wonderful what can be accomplished with a little paid advertising JudicloUS 'l\ distributed. It Will apparently sway the editorial thought of the paper and j color its news columns. Of course the papers who have so fr< ely opened their columns to Btop-Look-Listen League arguments will rave at the assertion that they can he bought in that man ner. Lei 'em rave. We happen to have the goods on them This was the scheme. Pope from Frank Dallam's Office was sent broadcast throughout the state and the papers assured that if they kindly gave it space they would be given .paid advertising at space, rates. One country editor told me that he was given paid advertising but re fused to run the news articles fur nished and that bis paid advertising was promptly discontinued. One daily paper In this state palmed off on its , readers on its editorial page as "orig inal editorial matter" league dope against the "First Aid" bill. The next ' day the same paper threw an editorial fit because some correspondent had ! written an article for publication with out attaching his name and launched forth a long dissertation on "news paper ethics." Ye Gods! Despite the ' fact that the annual convention of the State Farmers' Union held in Spokane repudiated by a vote of 167 to 4 the resolutions passed by a little bunch of "rubber-tired" farmers in the south eastern part of the state who had; played the league's game in condemn ing the Seven Sisters, papers in this | state are still carrying the long article .sent out by. the league in which an at tempt is made to show that the farm ers are in dissention upon our initia-, tlve program. Not all the papers tn| the state have allowed their columns to be prostituted in this manner, but enough have to make one twiddle his nose when they prate about the "free dom of the press." • • • Four months of the hardest kind of work have thoroughly shown up some of the jokers in the machinery of the initiative law. The whole machinery, Of operation seems to be predicated on tbe assumption that the average citi-; tea is inherently a liar and if the | check rein isn't pulled tight he'll per jure himself. Else, why all the re-' Btrlctions and curbs in the law? The plenary power bestowed on checking officers by the law seems to be with out restriction. In Raymond the gov ernor of the state had to be appealed to to compel the city officials to obey I the mandates of the act and check the j petitions. In Colville tbe checking Pale Beer officer certified to the names in lead pencil in violation of the ruling of the attorney general and had to be miui damused to compel certification in ink I have petitions on which names were thrown out because a "T" or an "S" happened to be formed a little differ ently on the petition than they were on the registration books. One man signed the registration books like ; this: "Charles —." When he signed the petition he abbreviated the first name like this: "Chas." Name thrown out. Can you beat it? There .is no question that more than enough Dames have been secured to place all of these measures upon the ballot. With the endless restrictions placed upon the machinery of the law, the Opportunity to job us to death in the checking up. there is every possibility for a shrinkage that will defeat the hills. That remains to be seen. Many officials are doing the checking in a conscientious manner. Some are evi dently, conscious or unconsciously, playing right into the hands of the op ponents of direct legislation. Whether we win or lose in this preliminary battle, you may rest assured we have just begun to fight. We know the weakness of the law better than we did six months ago. know better how to organise for the work, know better how to meet the opposition, know that the people will not abandon the prin ciple of popular government they have fought so long and so hard to obtain. Another thing: the care and inquiry the voters have bestowed upon the text and probable result of the bills presented to them when asked to sign the petitions, effectually disposes of the oft-made charge of the reaction aries that "the people will sign their death warrant without reading it." The slogan of every organized farm er, every organized city laborer, every believer in popular government, will In any event be: We have just begun to fight. And don't be so blamed sure the bills are defeated. Mr. Standpat Press! He laughs best who laughs last.

J. E. CAMPBELL. THE LABOR JOURNAL LABOR JOURNAL UNIONS INDORSED. Employer Takes Broad View ot the Labor Problem. PUTS MAN BEFORE DOLLAR. Prominent Shoe Manufacturer Declare* That Wages Must Go Up and Divi dends Go Down Until Capital and Labor Share In Fairer Measure. Business muni he humanised and la bur unions encouraged. Recording to tbe opinion of John S. Kent, n shoo manufacturer ol Brockton, Mass.. and president of tbe New England Shoe and Leather association. This declara tion was made recently at a meeting of the Massachusetts Heal BataM Ex change. Mr Kent said: Our people must study our problems They must understand and appreciate Wbat is good and what is bad for busi ness. It is their proposition as well as ours We must make them feel the partnership that sbOUld exist between j employer and employee. An enlight ened public sentiment is the greatest force that can exist to protect and en courage our great Industries. No problem that confronts us is more complex and annoying titan tlie labor problem. and tlie question ot preserv ing harmonious relations between man ufaeturors anil Workmen is deserving and getting serious study. We are ap proaching the subject in a fairer way and with more consideration for the rights of labor and capital than In former years Men of the best judg ment and greatest breadth of view maintain entirely different theories on how all interests can best be served, but nil have practically agreed that no industry is worth anything to a state which does not pay good wages and prove self supporting. The profit of an industry must he measured by the value of the business to the whole community in which it exists and not ! alone to its owners or stockholders. ltKsiness must be conducted for men and not men sacrificed for business. Wages must go up and dividends must go down until capital and labor share In fairer measure the profits that ac crue from the skill and effort of each. We must cease building up great in dustrial centers by establishing Cheap wages and cheap living and recruiting tlie ranks of workers from the need iest immigrants that reach our shores No corporation has a right to gather together a mass of humanity for Its own uses that Is not self supporting and self respecting, and then risk us to organize societies to work out the problem. "What shall we do to Amer Icsnlse the immigrant?" I firmly believe that under present conditions we should fully recognize organized labor and work out our la bor problems with these representa tives of our workmen. The labor uu lon must be reckoned with until some better way is found to deal fairly be tween employer and employees. I do not believe in everything that organized labor stands for. It needs reforming. Just as modem business does. There are good unions and bad unions, and we should not hesitate to praise the one and condemn the other. Labor organisations need sympathy rather than opposition. Their leaders need encouragement instead of con dero nation. It the public would discriminate be tween the men who tight for a great principle in tbe labor movement and those who tight for power or for love of the game and give support to those possessing wisdom, honesty and pa triotism, much would tie done to les sen the evils that arise from labor controversies. Arbitration does not offer a perfect plan for settling labor disputes, but it is the best we have. Collective bar gaining between employer and work men is recognized as fair to both, and for this reason 1 think It will survive. It may be claimed that arbitration is always a compromise, tint the same may be said of government or of de cisions of judges or Jurors We claim that employers are liable for con tracts. Why not assist In building up labor organizations that are responsi ble for their agreements and that seek to accomplish their legitimate objects by lawful methods? Indiscriminate opposition to Is bor or (Solutions and to lalmr leaders In this day of progress is not alone un fair and unwise: it is unprofitable and unavailing Employers need the light on the subject .t» well as workmen Tbe force that is most eftei tual In de termlnlng the action ot organized 111 bor Is public sentiment No man and no organization ot men can Ming sue ceed without Its UidorHMtTient.

Tlie Amalgamated Association of Street Car Men has won an important victory in the supreme court of Ptnn aylranla, which has ended a contro versy involving several thousand dol lars, which was started in Philadelphia by a small crowd of malcontents who attempted to seize the funds of locals In that city and establish a dual organ hntlnn. The decision is of Interest to the entile trade union movement be cause it reaffirms the established right in many cases of an international or national union to compel obedience to Its constitution and bylaws, and said Union may even Bt' so far as to expel those who either do not obey or who fall to remedy I heir grievances along constitutional lines. Labor Not Under Cover. "The organized labor movement has nothing to bide." said Samuel Genu psrs. "We do nothing behind closed doors We recognize the common hu mat) ailment, that we are liable to make many Mistakes. We must labor to reach the highest Ideals Iv spiritual as well as material things. I will not insult the Intelligence of thinking men by saving organized labor is Without mistakes or above criticism. You who are employed should refuse to work overtime, because every hour you work Overtime you are keeping a brothei from a Job.
