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,

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

job dishwashing in the camp"

sisted in treating me exactly as
my relatives had before I struck

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

as hard as the wind to catch. It [,eratives, the charge of left-wing

the Great Wall of China was b.lillt, lest."
