OVERMAN Sergeant-at-Arms Puget Tress UNCLE SAM WILL RUN MILLS AND LOGGING CAMPS Tired of waiting for an adequate output of lumber to supply the war needs of the country the government is about to take over the mills and logging camps. The lumber manufacturers, like the railroads, do not show the ef ficiency or the desire to supply the wants of the government. The war department bill empow ering the President to requisition timber and lumber and to conduct logging operations for the army, the navy and the Emergency Fleet Cor poration was passed by the Senate. Before its adoption the bill was amended to enable the government to take timber from forest reserves. This action is not only expected to bring the output of spruce and other lumber up to war require ments but will cheapen the product probably. FRYE & COMPANY BELLOW FOR HELP Charging that the boycott placed upon the products of their concern has injured and is injuring their business, Frye & Co. have secured from Judge French's court a re straining order prohibiting Local No. 81 Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen from picketing the company's plant. Frye & Co. started out in this strike by declaring that it made no difference to them what the butch ers did, but now the company has brought suit against the union to recover damages amounting to !?r>o, --000. The damages were inflicted by loss of business and inability to hold employes because of picketing by the union during a strike, the concern claims. It makes a lot of difference "whose ox is gored." ISRAEL WEINBERG OCT ON $15,000 BOND SAN FRANCISCO, March 22. — i Israel Weinbetg was given his lib erty today on $15,000 bonds, after 1 20 months in jail, for alleged com plicity in the preparedness parade bomb explosion of July 22, 1910. The bail fixed late yeterday by the state supreme court was furnish ed shortly before noon by Wein berg's attorneys. Two indictments remain against Weinberg in Superior Judge Dunne's court. Of the nine indictments charging first degree murder, six were dis missed on motion of the prosecution, and on one Weinberg was tried and 1 acquitted. Judge Dunne had repeatedly re fused to admit Weinberg to bail, al- ' tho two other judges agreed to do Weinberg is the second of the al leged bomb plot defense to gain lib erty on bonds. Edward Nolan was released last summer. "Nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb." — From the fifth amendment to the constitution of the United States. Of course more than one person was killed by the explosion but the one act did all the killing, and if the BANKS PIANO CO. 2808 Colby Avenue EVERETT, - WASH. JARVIS & JACKSON 1793 Hewitt Aye. defendant is proven innocent of kill ing one of the ten by the one act he is innocent of killing any anil all of them. Judge Dunne, one of the San Fran cisco superior judges, has unmis takably shown himself hostile to the four men and one woman charged with the outrage of July 22, 1918. What does he care for the consti tution of the United States or any law? Is he not a judge and can not he make a law to suit his pleas ure or prejudice in the case? And as for Ficket, that despisable Hun would stop at nothing to gain his end and serve his master of the "Law and Order Committee" of the San Francisco Chamber of Com merce. Why that fellow got up a fake bomb explosion in the rear of the residence of Governor Stevenson, whose seat he hopes to fill through the aid of the "Law and Order Com mittee." The fair city of San Francisco is politically rotten, all right. SHALL THE JAPS GUARD SIBERIA The question of Japanese interven tion in Siberia is a serious and per plexing one. There seems some fear exists that Japan means the I acquisition of Siberian territory. . Others hold the opinion that the entry of Japan into Siberia is nec essary for the protection of the in terests of the Allies of which she is one. Then again, the Bolsheviki lead ers having made a traitorous peace treaty with the German autocracy and having practically declared war on all Russians who do not agree with them, are now busily engaged in doing pro-German work in Si beria. German prisoners have been released and with the Bolsheviki are fighting General Seminoff's forces. These forces are those who will not lick the hand that smites them; they will not bend the knee to Germany. Yes. by all means let Japan have a free hand in Siberia. Even if she annexes a large portion of her ter ritory, Siberians will be under a better government than either au •o ra'ir' Germany or autocratic Rus sia. The Allies can't keep Ger many out of Siberia. Japan can do it. Then in the name of rea son let her do it! The traitorous Bolsheviki have de stroyed the defensive strength of their country and actually invited the unrpeakable Huns to ravage it. The Bolsheviki have as an excuse that they expected the German pro letariat to revolt and force universal peace. The Lenines and Trotskys are either traitorous liars who con spired with German agents to sell their country into political bondage or they are credulous fools in be lieving that the German Socialists are other than Germans. Scheideman would grab a piece of his neigh bor's land as quick as would Yon Hindcnberg or any other hiped swine. This Bolsheviki bunch have been "bawling their heads off" for peace and doing all they can to prolong war. The Russian people were in a fair way to secure their freedom and a j lasting and honorable peace until the Lenine-Trotsky combination of 1 conspirators got into the saddle. "GOOD SMOKES" J!'!!."") Wetmore Phone Main 36 Now they are turned over to the ravages of the conscienceless Huns who will take away their lands and destroy their hope of political lib erty. Maria Spiridonovo, one of the Rus sian revolutionists says: "The rati fication of the German peace terms moans that they will lose their land and freedom." OVERSUBSCRIBED The issue of $. r >00,()00,000 of Unit ed States Treasury certificates, the subscription to which closed March 5, was oversubscribed, the subscrip tion in every district, except one, exceeding the quota assigned it. The banks of the country in the past two Liberty Loan campaigns and in the purchase of Treasury cer tificates issued before the loans re sponded to the demands of the coun try with inspiring loyalty and lib erality. The faith they show in the Government finances and the patrio tic response they give to the calls of the Treasury are certain indica tion that their co-operation and as sistance will help to insure the suc cess of the Third Liberty Loan. ADMIRAL WILSON FAVORS PICKETING AND BOYCOTTING A story of the manner in which French profiteers got a taste of American naval methods is told by a writer from a French seaport, as follows: "The landlord of one of the prin cipal hotels, finding his rooms all taken by American officers, consid ered that the law of supply and de mand justified in his case a con siderable increase in profits. The price of rooms doubled; meals and drinks went up in proportion. "Rear Admiral Wilson waited on the mayor, who regretted the fact, but found himself unable to inter fere with the freedom of commerce. "Admiral Wilson ordered the of ficers living there to move out and | placed sentries in front of the build ing, with orders to keep every American soldier away. "The argument was decisive. The landlord begged that the interdic- I (ions be removed, but thus far Ad i miral Wilson is obdurate and the house is almost empty." It will be noted that the admiral first had recourse to the law—and ! got nothing. Then he resorted to | the good American expedient of the boycott—and got results. The boycott time and again has been decried by its victims as un fair, even though it usually is em ployed only against unfairness. Court after court, in willing subservience to capital, has forbidden its use by labor to enforce just, fair and rea sonable conditions, but no court could ever make the workers will ingly support an unfair concern. Court mandates don't reach that far. Admiral Wilson's first thought, when the law failed, was the boy cott. Every one of fair mind and normal thinking powers will ap pleaud hte act, express satisfaction at what he did, and say it was just the right thing to stop profiteering and punish a graedy and unpatriotic landlord. But In America, were the admiral the representative of a labor or ganization and the landlord the rep resentative of large employers, it would have been easy to find a judge to declare the boycott unlaw ful and issue an injunction against it because it interfered with the processes of private gain. But where lies the moral difference in boycotting this profiteering landlord or a taxicab company which opposes, for its own profit, a better standard of living for the men who drive the car? The landlord tried to take advantage of the necessities of his customers to swell his profits. The taxicab company tries to take ad vantage of the necessities of the drivers to compel them to work cheaper than other drivers, thus en ■ hancing unfairly the profits of the •ompany, and keeping down unfair ly the wages of the men who drive the cars. Where lies the difference between the boycott established by the ad miral and a boycott, for instance, against a street car company which has adopted a policy of favoritism toward a few scabs, in the hope of breaking the power of collective bargaining, and keeping the manly men in its employ from securing the real wages which evei-y American worker should enjoy? A boycott is a boycott. But its operation unimpeded of the law de pends upon who is exercising it— •in American admiral or a bunch of workingmen. — Bloomington Search light.

THE LABOR JOURNAL BRINGING MEDICAL SCIENCE TO THE AID OF THE WAGE EARNER We nre fighting a great world var in order that the condition of 'be people may be improved, Some ime Ibis war will end. But within each nation there is a never-ending struggle for better living conditions, for opportunities for health and happiness that during generations have been denied to the workers. Today, for example, we possess a •nighty power to fight disease. To the wealthy class this scientific knowledge is available; to the pov- ORGANIZED LABOR PREPARING FOR INITIATIVES 31,32 AND 33 The trades unionsist of Everett will support Initiative Measure No. 31, 32 and 33. Vice-President Fran cois, of the State Federation of La bor has submitted a plan of action that has been accepted by the Ev erett Trades Council. A circulator for the petitions will be placed in charge of each voting precinct in the city of which there are 40. These circulators will be held responsible for the entire pre cinct to which they are assigned. They may call to their pssistsnc" as many volunteers in each of their respective precincts as they may feel necessary to insure a successful campaign. Different plans are being adopted in the several cities in the state and the workers in each city should put foith their very best efforts to make their plans successful. By trying these different methods we may gain valuable information as to the best manner in which to conduct fu ture campaigns. The Joint Legislative Committee 37,701 valid signatures to place our measures on the ballot to be voted upon at the fall election. As many names will no doubt be stricken from the petitions we must ; have considerably more than we really need. The petitions must be signed up, checked by local reg istration officers and turned into j headquarters at Seattle not later than June 1. The meiits or demerits of the measures are not a matter for debate at this time. If we secure sufficient signatures to insure them of a place on the ballot, a campaign will be made by their proponents urging their passage, and beyond a doubt those who are opposed to them will work equally as hard to accomp lish their defeat. None but registered voters may legally sign the petitions. An im portant thing at this time is to HEALTH INSURANCE DISCUSSED BY LABOR ALBANY, N. V., March 22,—How workmer's health insurance will ben efit labor is discussed in detail in a second pamphlet report by the New York State Federation of Labor just printed for general distribution among interested unions. The leport, issued by Secretary Edward A. Bates from the Federa tion's headquarters here, urges the immediate passage of organized la bor's health insurance bill introduced in the New York legislature by Senator Nicholl, and contains a re port of the questions and answers at the special state conference at Albany, February (i, when the bill and report prepared by the commit tee on health were unanimously adopted by the 200 labor delegates. It is accepted as the best presenta tion of the provisions of public health insurance for wage earners that has yet appeared from the standpoint of organized labor. An Aid to Trade Unions The conference agreed that the proposed health insurance plan would be a stimulus to the trade union movement. "The experience ; n other countries," declared Chair man James M. Lynch of the com mittee on health, "has demonstrated that bringing unorganized wage earne'-s together into the group, as we proposed in the funds to which they contribute, brings home to them ; n the most emphatic way possible what they might do if they were organized industrially in the same way as they ate organized in sick funds. It must suggest that they are able to be of the greatest power and of the most benefit to them selves if they will organize them selves into trade unions. It em ilas zes the benefits of mass ac *ion." And Defecate Bander added: 'The very fact that the administra tion of this sick fund will be through 'on! or trade organizations will have n tendency to organize the workers better in all the states." erty-stricken it is doled out in charity dispensaries. But for the masses of the Working population— in the United States alone among great industrial nations—such treat ment is not made available. Through a properly organized system of uni versal health insurance it would be possible to bring the world of medi cal science to the aid of the humblest wage-earner. John R. Andrews, Secretary American Association for Labor Legislation. urge registration. Wage earners are careless in this matter, those who oppose them are not, they are always on the job, always organized. Organization is the thing that wins and not for one single moment dare we relax in effort to keep strong or ganizations so that we may gain the greatest good. Until the workers of this state make some effort to change the complexion of our state legislature, until we elect men who have at least some of labor's view point we can not hope for anything from that body. We alone are to blame for reactionary legislation. There is a good chance this year to put some of our own people in the state leg islature and we should not fail to take advantage of our opportunities. It is also important that some attention be paid to the Supreme Court. There are three judges to be elected this year. If our Initia tive Measures become law we want a Supreme Couit that will not de clare them unconstitutional as was the case of the anti-employment agency men sin c passed by the In itiative. Every part of our government shows some sign of progress along broad lines except the judiciary. It is not to be construed, however, that all judges are reactionary and hedged about by capital. But in 'he general court practice of the state our judges have shown a mark ed tendency to give labor the worst of it. Remember these important things. It is a duty you owe to the state, the labor movement and to your self. REGISTER! Urge the voting mem bers of your families and all others to register! Sign and circulate Initiative Meas ures 31, 32 and 33. Look for new material for state legislature and the Supreme Court. It is badly needed. The union label is the best medium for advertising as it costs the em ployer nothing, all this burden being borne by the union.
