Seattle Official Says Society
Anti-Lalxir and In Favor
of Japanese.
I'i:UKT SorXD BLllKAL". Seattle,
Wash., I ec. '). (Special.) The
WnshiriKlon t'nlon league club, rr
cintly organized in this city and
planned for htato-wide membership,
has excited the wrath of City Coun
cilman Tindall, who declared it was
formed in favoritism to the Japanese
and in hostility to organized labor.
In a public statement Tindall give the
club the "un-American" and a good
i many other brands, sufficient to
"make clear his complete disapproval.
II. A. Hallingor, formerly mayor of
Seattle and secretary of the interior
department during part of the Taft
administration, Is president of the
Union League club. W. M. Garrett is
the feeretary. According to its con
stitution and bylaws, the club is
modeled along lines -similar to clubs
of the same name in eastern cities.
Nothing is discoverable in the form
of organization or in the membership
application to sustain the pro-Japanese
or anti-iabor suggestion. Coun
cilman Tindall said he arrived at this
conclusion, to his own satisfaction,
by the process of putting two and
two together.
Tlndiill ex-Service Man.
Tindall is an ex-service man,
wounded In r'rance and twice re
ported deaa. He returned to his home
in tiiis city just in time to file as a
candidate for the council in 19:10. He
was last on the list of those nomi
nated In the primaries, but in the en
suing election he led the ticket with
a huge plurality. From the begin
ning of hi-.- councllmanic service he
has been an official and unofficial
epokesman of the anti-Japanese ele
ment, and was active in procuring
the anti-alien land law enacted at the
last session of the legislature.
lie bases his accusations against
the Union League club on the open
ground that Judge Ballinger is its
president and that its membership
includes specifically Rev. Mark A.
.Matthews, pastor of the I'irst Pres
byterian church of Seattle. Iteginald
J I. Parsons, president of the North
west Kruit Products company, and L.
. Oilman, vice-president of the Great
Northern Railway company. There
are many other members about l!O0
in all, though the club is only about
H0 days old, but these four are selected
by Tindall for the purposes of his
argument. Mr. Oilman, he pointed
out, is an officer of the company that
first induced the Nippon Yusen Kaisha
to send its steamships to Puget Sound,
thereby establishing the nucleus of
oriental trade.
Jniknnrne Labor Cued.
Tile Great Northern, he said, has
also used Japanese in construction
work. He recalls the fact that Judge
liallinger. Dr. .Matthews and -Mr. Par
sons served as a committee represent
ing the foreign trade bureau of the
Seattle chamber of commerce which
ti'i'l to induce the legislature to
modify or delay its anti-alien pro
gramme last winter. On the point of
hostility toward organized labor Tin
dall cited Judge Ballinger's connec
tion with the Associated Industries of
Seattle. This is the substance of the
proof offered by Tindall In support
of his charges.
One interesting point that Mr. Tin
dall failed to make in respect of the
Union I-eague club is this that its
membership consists largely of what
is known in the parlance of practical
politicians as "the producers." In
Seattle, as in other cities of size, there
are certain men who are subject to
regular and constant appeal for con
tributions to campaign funds. It does
not matter what the issue may be,
who the candidates are nor what
offices they seek. the so-called
"finance committees" make practical
ly the same rounds and gather in
what they can. ' It has been the sad
experience of the "producers" here,
as elsewhere tha once the campaign
is over and the candidates elected, the
advlce of those who furnished the
money Is never solicited and seldom
heeded when given.
Producers Are Included.
The possibility of putting more
punch in the power of the "producers"
la not touched on in the constitution
or bylaws of the Union League club
any more than are the motives
charged by Councilman Tindall. But
any knowledge of the membership
personnel is highly suggestive. Pre
dominantly republican, according to
all record of past affiliations, the
club includes a considerable number
of members who have heretofore beeq
rated as prominent "producers" for
the democratic party.
BUILDING RECORD GOOD
New Construction in Aberdeen Is
$500,000 for This Year.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Dec. 20. (Spe
cial.) Permits issued from the office
of the city building Inspector for 1921

imum estimated costs, and often less.
The $125,000 state armory, in process
of construction, is not included in the
estimate. With the armory included,
the value of building in the city for
the year will-be nearly J500.000. The
greateet volume of permits was In
July, when the total was $42,360. A
number of fine residences have been

far surpass the one Just closing.

The recent announcement of D. G.

Senator Stanfield. however, on the 1 U

EXCLUSIVE Oakland improvements and refinements
in cylinder and piston design and construction have
made possible the remarkable written guarantee which
Oakland now gives with every new 34 D Model.
Cylinders are "honed" to a glass-like smoothness by unique
Oakland machines. Specially designed alloy pistons cany
oil-sealing piston rings of exclusive design. The Oakland
engine embodying these advanced features has demon
strated, in months of the most difficult driving tests, that it
has eliminated entirely an annoyance familiar to drivers of
motor cars "oil pumping."
And so Oakland guarantees" every such Oakland engine
against "oil pumping" with a 15,000 mile written guarantee.
It will be well worth ycur while to see for yourself how
Oakland engineers have made this possible.
