Prcsl dant O. R. Hart wig, of tha Oregon fVderatlon, moreover, has asked every other State Fedara-lon of Labor In the country to petition the Washington conference itnawlaa la the following latter: “ Inasmuch aa the United States Gov ■rnment la engaged lu advancing the War Barings Stamps campaign !■ a rigorous manner, aad Inasmuch aa the War Savings Stamps are the bast pas slbls farms of Investment for working jmb aad woman, particularly organ toad workers, and also because tha poa- isaataw of War Savings Stamps by workers while defending their rights either while ant aa strike or otherwise, gives them s degree of security that It's a Case o f Safety First. Petitions for a light ship off Cape Blanco and a life -saving crew somewhere on the 200 miles o f unprotected coast south o f Bandon seem reasonable enough, and in view o f what happened to the Chanslor last wfesk, there is no question about the danger that cross currents may carry a ship off her course during the thick weather th*t often prevails there. A t the same time we can hardly im agine that the navigator o f that ship was entirely free from blame for the disaster. We hesitate to- make a reflec tion o f this sort, especially as we have no knowledge o f any facts in relation to the navigation of the Chanslor. But the fact that the steamer Elizabeth has made about 600 round tripe between bandon and San Francisco, and passed Cape Blanco, perhaps a thousand times, without s mis hap, seems to Indicate that such fate as befell the Chanslor was avoidable. Indeed, in sailing be tween Portland and San Francis co, as the Chanslor did, it would seem that it ought to be possi ble to give the Cape and its cross currents a much wider berth than in sailing between Bandon and San Francisco. There is s wide margin o f safety in the Pa cific west o f Blanco. I Capt. B. W. Olson, o f the C. A. Smith, is quoted by the Coos Bay Times in discussing this matter, as saying that war ves sels have lots o f time to keep away from Cape Blanco but coasters have not. That seems <ke putting safety second. The Elizabeth, however, has always morning until two o’clock in the afternoon when the ocean was still as a mill pond in a thick fog, we are fully assured that it is better to err on the side o f safety than o f speed. Better a few hours longer .and cgm* through safely than to hug the coast and go on th e . reeks at Blanco.
