operations and that the lumber in
dustry has begun to return to normal,
leaving a trail of badly demoralized
wage scales, is the report that Clair
Covert, president, and John M. Nor

are taking from the state of Wash

tion of the international, which opens
in Minneapolis March 28. Mr. Covert

trict is sending to the convention,
which will be the first the timber
workers' international has ever held
off the Pacific coast, where it was
organized.
"Plans for active organization
work to regain ground that has been
lost during the period of depression
in the lumber industry, not only here
but all over the country, and to build
up the union now when the workers
feel the need of the protection of a
bona fide organization, will no doubt
be an important subject before the
convention." said Mr. Covert last
night. "The workers in the timber
industry on this coast are showing by
their renewed Interest in our union
that they have had their fill of sub
stitutes for real trade unionism and
also of visionary radicalism.
"Wages have been badly slashed in
the readjustment process and. In some
instances, have been forced down to
the pre-war level. Such drastic re
ductions cannot be permanent, but,
on tiie other hand, it cannot be said
that a new wage level has been established."

WASHINGTON, D. C "March 20.
(Special.) Attacks on the American
Federation of Labor from within and
from without, led on the one hand
by the more Radical faction in labor
which is dissatisfied with the leader
ship of Samuel Gompers, and on the
other by the powerfully financed and
strongly organized open-shop cam
paign, is stimulating the federation
to unwonted activity and labor or
ganizations generally to new experi
ments designed to place greater eco
nomic power in the hands of work
ing men.
The federation itself is undertak
ing, as a result of the recent confer
ence of the 'heads of international
unions, to plaoe its point of view be
fore the public. Men prominent in
the labor movement notably Mr.
Gompers and Frank Morrison, secre
tary of the federation are being sent
on speaking tours to address mass
meetings in the larger cities every
where. Labor Problem DIxcnSMed.
Large meetings are being arranged
throughout the country In order to
procure views of the official spokes
men of organized labor on such topics
of the day as the open shop or "Amer
ican plan," the situation in the pack
ing plants, labor's defiance of injunc
tions. The railroad problem may be
presented.
Among labor organizations gener
ally, however, the present is being
taken as a time of experiment along
lines designated to protect the eco
nomic interests of workmen. An am
bitious project of this character is
that to establish the producers' and
consumers' co-operative bank, which
aims to erect branches in many im
portant cities and which hopes to
raise for all the banks a capital of
$100,000,000 among the labor union
members of the country.
The plan contemplates a start in
Philadelphia with the establishment
there of a bank having a capitaliza
tion of $5,000,000. The central labor
union of Philadelphia has indorsed
the plan, and shares of stock are be
ing sold at $20 each. The idea is to
conduct the bank through trustees
under a declaration of trust in order
to avoid certain difficulties of cor
poration management. Wheaton Bar
ker, at one time prominent in the
populist movement, is one of the pro
moters of the plan.
Official Approval Larking.
The object of starting in Philadel
phia is to reach the widest possible
circle of working men, and it is esti
mated that industrial plants nearby
that city bring a larger number of
working men in a radius than al
most anywhere else.
The plan has not received the offi
cial approval of the federation, al
though the International Association
of Machinists has taken the lead in
banking organization through obtain
ing control of two large banks here
in .Washington. The railroad organ
izations have long been at work on
a plan to establish a bank in Cleve
land in order to make full use of the
$12,000,000 available assets the rail
road brotherhoods are said to possess,
and unions in many parts of the coun
try invested funds in the state bank
of North Dakota because they did not
wish to have their money used in
loans to "open shop" employers.
(oniperM Is Opposed.
This growing "class consciousness"
on the part of labor is the cause of
the discontent with the policies of
Mr. Gompera. The men opposed to
him admit that for 20 years or more
there has been much talk of "throw
ing Gompers out" at each of the con
ventions of the federation, but they
also say that labor has rarely, in this
country, been in a more perilous posi
tion than now, and they contend tha't
the Gompers regime is mainly re
sponsible. Labor in Europe, it is
pointed out. is much stronger than
before the war, but here a relentless
war is being waged against organiza
tions of employes, and so effectively
that unions really are seriously
threatened in many places. A more
definite and conservative programme
is essential, say the opponents of Mr.
Gompers, to effective leadership of
the trade union movement.

must cover the deficit by replacing
all the damage done by her arjnies.
Unfortunately, however, everything
comprehensible is not always pos
sible in. this world of realities. Ger-
"many has no gold nor other inter- j
nationally valid means of payment 1
in quantities worth mentioning. If1
she were to pay out the bulk of hre ,
national wealth say by the sale of I
her mines, her forests, her railways. ;
etc. she would destroy herself and
at the same time kill the chances of
her creditors to obtain further pay- i
ments.
Allied Nations Menaced.
If she were to pay the tremendous
amount, of the Indemnity in goods
that is to say, by perfecting raw ma
terials delivered to her then the
countries which would be swamped
by these goods would be thrown out
'of work and into industrial ruination.
Nobody wants Germany's paper
millions. But even if they were taken j
into the payment plan, the mark
quickly would sink to the depth of j
the Russian soviet rouble. Conse- t
quently. If the most sacred righteous- j
ness of heaven and earth were in fa- '
vor of the Paris reparation demands, ,
these demands could not be fulfilled. I
For this reason Is ft sensible to try
to coerce by means of military and
economical terror a poverty-stricken j
, nation, which has to buy American j
dollars at 15 times the pre-war rate,
to sign a promissory note to pay
within 42 years 226,000,000.000 gold
marks? According to .today's ex
change, this would amount almost to
three trillion paper marks.
Slavery Means Destruction.
If Germany should agree, the applause-seeking
allied prime minister
could parade before his parliament
with a signature, but tne money
would not be forthcoming and a peo
ple so long and firmly bound together
would be lost to the world as buyers
and forced into life slavery. In such
circumstances, and in spite of the
wisest pacifist advice, such a people
would be filled only with a passion
ate wish to break its chains. This
reparation problem dare not last
longer than necessary to make a film
spectacle.
Unprejudiced experts, not blinded
by hate, must calculate the losses of
the conquerors which must be resti
tuted, and also must estimate the pro
ductive power of the defeated.
Germany's workers and technical
experts must rebuild northern France.
To diminish the distrust of our cred- '
itors and to adopt such a mode of
living as becomes poor people, Ger- '
many must tolerate this economic :
control, which naturally must not be
carried out with arrogant presump- '
tion, nor in the manner of the un- i
speakable- Turk. j
Germany Has Its limits. j
Germany also may take on an ob- I
ligation to pay to her creditors 40 to j
60 per cent for 30 vears from nrnlns
exports over import returns. If. in
addition to that, she proves- by her
honesty, by disarmament and by
peaceful domestic policies, that the
world in the future has nothing to
fear from her, and for that reason
none of her neighbors need to con
tinue to carry the burden of war
armaments, then she will have done
everything possible toward the rep
aration of the material damages and
the political wrongs of the war.
In that event, it will be France's
stern duty to recognize that the
flood which 'swept the earth from
1914 to J919 caused suffering
alike to the just anc. to the
unjust. The after-effects of such a
w-orld catastrophe are not like the
after-effects of previous wars. The
right of the conqueror to booty as
well as gain, or even to full com
pensation for losses sustained, can

The dual Durnnne nf h -
Versailles to reduce and weaken
Germany to continued Impotence, and
at the same time to demand of her
gigantic sums for reparation is un
attainable, and even the conclusion
to attempt it becomes a peril to our
entire continent. The military occu
pation and economical weakening of
Germany, and the threat to tear up
Silesia, whose industry under Poland's
technically bad and quite inadequate
management would quickly deterior
ate, are not the means of creating
work-loving strength. Instead, they
tend to send morality to the devil
and to a mood for the enjoyment of
today in a delirium because there is
no tomorrow to hope for.
Enough has been said of the right
of the victor and the duty of the
vanquished. No honest person doubts
that both have to be accepted within
the limits of what is possible.

SALEM, Or., March 20. (Special.)
Night police officers late, yesterday
discovered 25 transients huddled in a
box car attached to a southbound
Southern Pacific train. To prevent
the men alighting here the officers
closed and locked the door of the
car and ordered the trainmen to carry
the travelers out of the city.
The prisoners, upon discovering
that they had been locked in the car,
raised such a rumpus that a night
watchman in.the-ailroad yards came
to their rescue and released them.
The police then were notified, with
the result that most of the men were
rounded up and locked in the city jail

The Big National
Advertising Medium
The daily newspaper has always
been the pre-eminent local advertis
ing medium.
, In recent years it has come to be
the great national medium of ad
vertising; for manufacturers and
distributors of trade-marked goods.
It is estimated that in 1920 the
newspapers carried more than
$700,000,000 worth of advertising
and of this vast sum, from $200,
000,000 to $250,000,000 came from
national advertisers.
Most of all the ntoney spent for
' any kind of advertising was spent
in the daily newspapers. "
The supremacy of the daily news
paper as an advertising medium is
due to the fact that it is read by
virtually everyone, " everywhere,
every day, because everybody who
reads wants to know the news of
the world and of business.
