A law was passed , after the fisheries folks who profit by the contract tem and the contractors themselves had made a hard t to block any legislation that would hurt their o monn len 2. ee ach ‘yea? the state labor department received scores ‘of compiaints. Men were cheated out of their season's ‘earnings. Men were robbed on shipboard returning from » the salmon grounds. Men were gouged and threatened jand starved. It was difficult to get the legislators to Delieve the story. But it was all TRUE. > California has some sort of makeshift legislation aimed eradicate the evils of seasonable labor contracting. ently the California law doesn’t help much, The Story, “The Price of Salmon,” which Max Stern is now Writing, indicates that there are many loopholes in the fashington law.

The mayor and city council have not yet agreed on the itments of department heads. er the mayor is submitting the names of persons who are unfitted for the jobs, so that the council will not confirm them, and the mayor will then have an ex- ‘use for not throwing out his “Army of Political In- les,” or he does not know how to select suitable for department heads, or the council is deliberately pering the mayor in his efforts to better conditions. _ Which is it? | Whatever may be the cause of the delay in serving ‘the public properly, the citizens are tired of four months ‘of this foolishness. t Cement makers use 14,000,000 pounds of dynamite a year.
