What is the significance of the gratuitous defi and challenge to unionism sounded by the Employers’ as sociation at the Duwamish Valley light franchise hear ing before the county commissioners Tuesday? What is the meaning of Jacob Furth’'s recent ban quet to 200 “leading” Seattle citizens to organize against unionism? Is Seattle to be plunged into a bitter indus- trial warfare, simply to gratify the wishes of those who own more of the world’s goods than the rest of us? Are we to have here the same situation as that arch enemy of organized labor, Gen. Otis, brought about in Los Angeles? Are we to have continual wrangling, and strife, bitter invective and tirade, and physical clashes, storms and upheavals the year long? What else does the Employers’ association mean?

Why should this franchise matter have called forth such a rabid and prejudiced attack upon unionism as is contained, in this letter “The ested in Emp! association of Seattle is inter the franchise it has learned that the boycott, the favorite weapon of unionism, is being used vers because against the applicant,” says the letter “Our association represents substantially all the business interests of Seattle, and we believe it abso- lutely vital to the good of the city that the selfish ef- forts on the part of the unions should be met openly by the people who have invested their money in this erty And again: “The labor unions of this city comprise a mem- bership of only three per cent of the entire population, and only 12 per cent of the total wage earners. The time has come when this small minority, by the use of the boycott and other threats, must cease from dictat- ing a policy detrimental to the interests of this com- y munity.” Is this the opening gun in a war on the part of the interests to crush organized labor And to build up a machines to dictate the political destinies of the city and county?

Whole flocks of sons and daughters, students lat the university, interested themselves in politics and finance, in a way that became mighty embarrassing in certain quarters. And the political bosses of the state sat up and took notice. They found that the university president had gathered around him a faculty of men and women, renowned for their progressive ideas. They found that the university had gained the reputation of being the most progressive in the coun- try, and was turning out a crop of young insurgents every term. So they gave the order: “Fire the president!” | Excuses for firing the president seemed lacking. |The board of regents got busy and tried to gag the |progressive faculty. Last year a progressive governor was elected, | who promised to name progressive regents during his \term. | The bosses demanded immediate action from |the old reactionary board. They got it. Rf ceeee Thomas Franklin Kane, president of the University of Washington, has just been summarily removed from office by the board of regents. He will be relieved of his duties right in the middie of the school year, but allowed ive at the university until June. Other reasons given by the regents for their action, but the above situation is the real cause, according to statements of President Kane, in an interview today with The Star. | The regents charge Kane was not the educational leader of the state, that the university had outgrown him, that he falled to maintain disel- pline, and that he was fired for refusing to resign to make way for a “big- ger men.” “The regents, by their hasty action, have done this university almost | irreparable harm,” said President Kane. i] “Under existing circum: ces, it will be almost impossible to get an | educator of note to accept the vacancy. No man cares to take a place where he will have to face such a situation. | “The department of political science has been the cause of consider- able displeasure on the part of the regents, and yet it is one of the strongest features of the university. Some people don’t seem to under- stand that a student can n to both sides of a question and then decide for himself. They want to elimin: the radical side and give only the | conservative. it is true that study and investigation lead to progressive views.

Asa result, we have been able to arrange courses to suit the needs of students desiring education along special tin “It is true that | personally have not sought publicity.

Lister, who expressed indignation at the untimely action of the regents, will not al- low their order removing Kane to go into effect.
