Contrae{0rs who personnel and smooth nationwide relied on less independent fore- functioing by Commander Dave men had to hire the culls and scrubs of migratory labor. When I came tO the High Red'S camp I had been on my own for a year and was well on the way to becoming a rowdy load kid. In that era migrants formed a larffe part of the West's population. They .existed in three distinct work-leader of industry. Common speech gave various bosses salty titles. A railroad sec- tion boss• was "king" snipe!" the ranch foreman was "ramrod;" in the logging camps the men of authority were "the push," the "bull-buck," "the hooker" and above all "the boll of the woods;" on construction jobs the "walker," "gaffer" and "straw" ruled the works; and these we}e always mighty men of mrk.. The labor chief of highest rank was the camp boss, in the woods, or on constzction, or with the great cattle spreads. It was a time of railroad expansion and reclamation projects. TIle MILWAUKEE was built to Seattle; the Western Pacific, .the North Bank., the Salt Lake Line, and many minor railroads 'were being driven oiel- deserts and through the mountains.

He was ye in his twenties when I worked fox" him, .though he had been a team-camp Walker for ten years. A red piie of a figure, lean with iron hrawrr, blue-eyed, brick- haired,.huffely, m(Istached, George Grabby remains to me the. perfect image of a man among men. He was famous among construction workers nation-wide, and a picked gang of them followed him from job to job. BECA%JE he could furnish a I crew of great efficiency "that' t would stay on the job as long as:l High Red was running it, he could practically name his own wage to contractors and his au- thority was absolute in camp.

TARTSkRS , by Albert .'0rtlz The Tartars ,ltVed toward the mountains and grasslands of the center of Asia. They were tough, -fierce people, as different from the Chinese as you can imagine. They were shepherds, not farmers, ' they lived in tenl/s and raised flocks of sheep, horses and cattle'. They were sple'did horsemen and plenty fierce fighters. Ns soon as a boy could walk he was put on a sheep's back and taught to use a bow and arrow. When he was nine, or ten, he had his own horse and herded the cattle on horseback; when he Was 15, he was considered a man and and hostile groups; the migratory laborers, called hobos or wopking stiffs; the yeggs, .called Johns; and the wandering beggars, call- ed tramps, bums or bread-and- butter Johns. EACH GROUP, in turn, had its own tribes. Mortal enmity blazed always.between the laborers and.i the yeggs, for it was the depre- dations of the lattcz' that made grief for all rovers on the road at in the towns. The yeggs put on a romantic front as social rebels.and invented terms of contempt for all men who wored. Joe Hill and many other wobblies were yeggs in the first place. In their lurid lexicon a logger was ".timber beast," a .eonstruction laborer " mud cat," a an'ch hand "scissor bill," a miner "z'ock rat," and so on. All the tribes veere hard on kids. ,Pool;sized and husky for my age anal with a :practiced al- eat for handling horcs .and mules I was yet always put on a boy's job  dishwashing in the camp" kitchen or packing drinking wa-. ter on the works. Bosses per- sisted in treating me exactly as my relatives had before I struck out for myself. I was badgered with pdrsonal questions nagged about my manly predelictions for chewing tobacco .and profanity, and usually faced With the threat .of the law being set on me to take me .back to my folks..But they did Work me and laNndle tne. oss en brought me up from 15 on. Co.Ops Pleased At Farm Secretary's Laudatory Speech Farmer co-operative s of the Pa- cifie Northwes' were greatl pleased over the stronk endorse- ment of them given by Secretary of Agriculture Cliaton P. Ander- son, declared Harry 5. Beernink. Wha was chairman of the com- mittee that arranged the meeting for the cabinet officer in Everett on December 11. "Secretary Anderson has a clear and informed view of the place f farmer 'co-operatives in the .American economy," . .explpined Beernink, who is general manager of the Washington Cooperative Farmet Association, one of th West's largest and most success- ful co-ops. "He answered direct- ly the charges that farmer co-ops are tax dodgers by explaining that this complaint has been instigated by subversive elements bent on brealdng down oux system of free enterprise and on stirring up strife between urband and rural comlnu- nities. I-te stated that the co-oper- ative organizations actually pay all taxes except the income tax on money belonging to the individual members held in trust by the co- operative. This money when re- turned to the members is subject to their individual income taxes." :More than 2500 people, includ- ing boys and girls of the Futm'e Farmers of America and 4-H rode and fought with the wart-]Clubs, packed the high school iors..
