WOBBLIES
WASHINGTON, March 25— J E.
Holden, state adjutant of the Utah
American Legion, told the House
ways and means committee that th*»
government’s failure to aid former
service men has resulted in the Indus
trial Workers of the world in making
a drive to get such men into their or
ganization. Holden said the Wobb'ies
were spreading an organized propa

to undermine the American Legion
and that many unintelligent former

TIMES ARE BAD
IN SEATTLE
Thousands of men are walking the
streets in Seattle looking for jobs of
any kind according to D. B Patterson,
well known resident of this sec* ion
who arrived north on the Alameda.
Mr. Patterson says the ship yards aie
operating only on an extremely small
scale and the Buildirgs Trades Unbn
is doing nothing owing to the h;gh
cost of production.
“Remain in Alaska where you are
sure of good pay, steady positions and
be content is the way I sum up the
labor situation.” said Mr. Patterson
at the Overland Hotel today. “One has
no idea of the limited amount of work
in Seattle, and this applies also to
other Pacific Coast towns. Buil ling
material is high, consequently there 1*3
litt’c build'ng and this involves many
different kinds of labor. I have cm)
back no' th anti I am going to stay.”
Mr. Patterson will leave on the Ad
miral Evans for Seldovia then.*e to
Hal'but Cove and again engage in the
fishing industry.
