MARSH OF STATE FEDERATION OF LABOR (Continued from Page 1) pation.-t can successfully claim the ! I same exemption. If all avocations when- mental labor equals to or ex Leeds the manual labor performed be] classed as non-workers under the tin demanding of the decision, many thousand employes in this state to Whom the law was originally intended f to apply will he subject to tie private I employment agency system. 1 FEDERAL EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES Following out the plans of Secro tary of Labor. William li. Wilson, a system of federal employment agen cles was established in this state early in the year, under the general | direction of Mr. Larry Wood of the 'immigration service. Headquarters were established in Seattle and every 1 Immigration office, thirteen in num .'her. was Included in the plan. The " j main offices, however, are in the larg ler cities of Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane. IWalla Walla. North Yakima, Aber deen. Everett and Bellingham. From March Ist. 1916, up to Decem ber Ist. 1915, a total of 7257 positions were filled. These were aclual posi- I tions and repri sented that number of men furnished with employment. Tlie most, of tin- work was of a sea " sonal nature, but it is intended to - cover basic industries just as fast as • it. can be brought about. This will depend largely upon co-operation be * | tween employers In the basic Indus tries and the federal department. ' ' The office at North Yakima made ' a remarkable record under the man agement of Mr. Greenblatt, immi gration officer in charge, and shows ' what can be done by a man with his j heart in the work. That office was | established the 12th of last May and L during the remainder of that month ' filled 89 positions; m .Tune, 285 posi i tions were filled: in July. 259; in 'August. 942; in September. 1140; in ; October, 4SO; in November, 290; a > total from May 12th to December Ist of 3941, U. S. HAS THE 'BLUES" SCIENTISTS THINK War. With Daily Slaughter of 30,000. Is Having Strange Effect on Americans' Minds ! ! The red hand of Europe has cast its dread shadow over the minds of all America! Puzzled scientists observe an entire nation of one hundred million persons in the grip of the strange mental de pression called "the blues." What is the matter with America, they ask, and the answer comes back |in the roar of the battlefields. The whole nation literally is brood- I ing over the terrible slaughter in Ku i rope. Across the Atlantic ."0,000 men are dying every day, and here in America 100,000,000 people are talking about it every day. And it is having an extraordinary effecl on the minds of all Americana. That this is not mere theory of the scientific dreamer is shown by the government statistics of the last year. The number of suicides increased un til they reached the unheard-of total of 141X0. 11l health was given as the cause in 1,190 cases: insanity. 582; disap pointment in love. 536, and family troubles in 965 cases. Shooting was the most frequent | method of suicide; 5,867 persons shot ' themselves. 3,982 took poison and 2, --063 killed themselves with gas. Other methods mentioned in the order of their frequency were drown ; ing, jumping from roofs, throat-cut j ting, jumping in front of trains, stab bing, fire, dynamite and starvation. There were thirty-two cases of sui cide by pact and 258 cases of murder and suicide. The world's record for murders was reached with a total of 9.230. and the unhealthy mental condition of the peo ple is shown by the fact that the vast majority of the victims met their deaths in quarrels. OttStave Le Bon. the great French psychologist, says: "Ideas, sentiments. , emotions and beliefs possess in crowds ; a contagious power as intense as that 1 of microbe. * ♦ • The action of con- J tagion may be felt from a distance J under the influence of events which ■ give all minds an individual trend." i I c UTAH MINERS' WAGES Will Receive Increase so Long as Copper Sells at 20 Cents bingham. Utah—Announcement of wage Increases ranging from 15 to 28 cents s day for 3,700 employes of the Metal Mining companies in this district was made recently. The in- Lrease will remain effective while the monthly price of copper n mains at 20 cents or more on 'he New York market It Is the purpose of Mr. Wood and of Mr. White, Commissioner of Immi gration, to eventually place in each office In charge of employment work ihe man most particularly fitted from experience and choice to deal with it. Hut little, it any. funds were available at the commencement for this work. Existing Office equipment and the ex isting force had to be utilized. The !duties pertaining to proper enforce ment of immigration laws are onerous enough without adding other yvork and it is the hope of the department that adequate funds may be secured thai men may be detailed to exclu sive employment work. In several cities the offices have no! Ik en conveniently located. It is I intended to relieve this condition, al so, by establishing quarters in those parts of cities where men out of em ployment mostly congregate. Sepa rate quarters for women are also necessary with adequate waiting rooms. The federal government is in a splendid condition to be informed as to industrial and agricultural possibil ities. Through its department of ag riculture, its postoffice department, its immigration service, it may know at all times the exact condition of the crops, note a slackness in a certain industry, unwonted activity in an other. Accurate information for the prospective employe as to working conditions is now possible as never before. No discrimination is made as be tween union and non-union men Tn 'furnishing employment, except that j strict orders have been given that men are not to be sent into a strike bound district for the express pur pose of breaking strikes. We have no quarrel with that policy, as it is the only one under which a govern ment bureau can be successfully op erated until the principle of collective bargaining becomes firmly established in American industrial life.

THE LABOR JOURNAL The Value of Human Life Every time an American is killed by the armed forces of another na tion there is a how l that can be heard from the Battery to the Bronx and points north. Today it is the slaugh ter of seventeen Americans by Villa soldiers that occasion the outburst. One would think that human life was so sacred that the American peo ple cannot brook the Idea of Ameri can lives being taken. Hut it is not so. Every week there is the wanton legal taking of a life somewhere in a Death House. Every day there is a murder somewhere 9,280 was the record last year Each day children are run down on the streets by auto mobiles and cars. Each year ten thousand people are killed by the rail roads, mostly "tresspassers," as they are euphemistically called by the com panies in their statistical reports. And, outside of a spasm of horror at a particular case, such as the Tri angle fire, they are considered merely "casualties of industry." Indeed, so used to them have we become, so in stitutionalized are they, that they are part, of our industrial life, and we now insure against accidents and death at work. It is not that we are so passionately devoted to the sanctity of human life. Nor is it our feeling that we must be killed, if killed we are. by Americans. Harris & B'.anck were the proprietor; of the Triangle .-hop. ami their ances tors did not come over on the May flower. The ra'lroads are owned to a very large exti nf by foreign capital, .Many of our factories are run by Jews or Italians. Nor yet is ii that we are devoted to the proposition that accidents may happen, but they must not he erected into a policy. Tlie killing of these seventeen men by Villa's villians is not a regular part of his program—if there is a program. And the jeopard izing of workers In factor;' s and shops and mills and mines is a regular "oli cy. And the arming of thugs acainst strikers is a regular policy. The saeredin ss of American lives is one of the pious lies that we have in our arsenal of cant. We have no more regard for life than the cowboys have in a Wild West moving picture when some one 'heats at cards. In deed, assert that we are so careless of life in all our walks of life that it is positively dangerous to live here. We stand for every sort of imposition on our lives and health every day. It is only when a rational issue can be made of it that there is the cry that we are hearintr today. P is only when a policy of the government is involved that the sacredness of a life is made manifest. If it can be used as a pretext to get into Mexico and break up the revolution that has threatened all the piled-up loot of a generation, then there is none so poor but that his life is worth the attention of a great nation. If it is the desire of a country to support a revolution of the people, such as the Cuban revo lution in 1898 for a good reason, such as reciprocity with retard to sugar, then the destruction of life can be used as a pretext for the support of a revolution. A human life in Capitalism is worthless, and especially in American capitalism, where we take lives by the hundred thousand. But it is elevated by Diplomacy, when an Incident im pends, into a good Casus Belli. It. is good cant to use it when it is needed. And if the diplomatic answer is un satisfactory, then the loss of one life will cheerfully be made into an ex cuse for the deliberate destruction of many thousands. Just as the life of the Austrian Archduke was the technical excuse for the killing of over three million. And that is about, all that American capitalism cares for the seventeen ! men killed by Villa- New York Call. CAPITALISM'S "INCENTIVE" The warden of Sing Sing prison is likely to lose his Job. His crime con sists of treating the convicts as though they were human beings. Capitalism not only brutalizes the race, and manufactures convicts wholesale, but also denies them R human existence when the clutch of the law has fastened upon them There Is not a scientific man of today who. if his mouth was not tagged, would not unhesitatingly condemn not only the conditions that are re sponsible for the making of criminals, but the inhuman methods adopted to ward them when In captivity. Prison reform is a neglected matter, because tin- criminals are not in a position to demand reforms for themselves Bet ter conditions come only to those who demand them Furnished Room to Rent.—Well fur nished and lighted.
