CONGRESS By Karl Stefan (Continued from page 4.) Over a thousand soldiers at one of the camps in Washington state have had colds or near-influenza Wet, cold, foggy weather is some thing new to some of the recruits, many of whom are living in tents. These tents, holding a squad of men, are quite comfortable. They have board floors, electric lights and sleeping facilities are good. Hundreds of new officers and men are steadily filling up these new cantonments and many of the men are finding some shortage of uni forms and certain supplies which j will be forthcoming within the very i near future. Fishing is g-ood in the lakes and rivers around Vancouver, Portland and Seattle. Steel head salmon runs are on and the commercial fishermen are making very good hauls. These fish are somewhat smaller than the Chinook salmon which are larger and better eating according to natives. Ducks are plentiful all over the Puget Sound country and also a round Portland and Vancouver. The shooting mornings on the lakes sounds like a Fourth of July celebration. Hunters claim it is no trick to bring back the limit of ducks. Strikes hold back national de fense progress in the lumber in dustry in the Pacific Northwest. Although there is a great demand for lumber and prices have gone up, the union men are asking for higher wages in order to partici pate in the increased prices going to the mills. Strike mediators are on the ground settling the strikes as fast as they break out. Explosions in plants making na tional defense material, including powder, have caused deaths and destruction around Tacoma. Fed eral investigators are on the ground looking for fifth columnists. That sabotage is responsible for these blasts is not denied in private cir cles. Wtih the United States be coming a great world arsenal, Uncle Sam’s sleuths are mighty busy trying to check these de structive acts. Cedar mills, which have great supplies of lumber on hand, are worried over the competition from Canadian mills. The Americans say that Canadian cedar shingles are coming in duty free. The Can adian mills pay 44c an hour less to their workers as compared to the American prices. Canadian mon ey exchange also helps the Can adians. So the Canadians set the price on American cedar shingles and the American lumber men say foreigners control a market which first belongs to Americans. The Washington state farmers have the same thing to say about Canadian apples. They have the same com plaint to make about Canadian im ports that Nebraska farmers have to say about imports of meat and grain from South America. _ j It has been two wet to harvest I all of the potato crop around Port j land and Vancouver. Potato dig ging machines have been idle for some days. Farmers are not satis fied with the prices of potatotes. The plum crop was ruined this year due to dry weather, the farmers! say. Most of the farms are small in acreage-—around 40 acres, bo the cream check has kept most of the farmers going. Many Nebras ka farmers who left home because of the drouth and who came to the Pacific Northwest, get jobs in lum ber mills or in the various indus tries. The country is highly union ized and a union card is adsolutely necessary before getting most any kind of a job. Common labor in the new alum inum plant at Vancouver is around 62 cents an Hour. A high school graduate who staged at this wage and got promoted now gets 82 cents an hour with a bonus of about $5 a week. However, there are thousands of men without jobs in the Pacific Northwest and jobs are not half as plentiful as the public would believe from the very flow ery publicity regarding new in dustries.
