BULLETIN No. 3
OBJECTS OF THE LOYAL LEGION OF LOGGERS AND LUMBERMEN
1. To give every camp and mill worker and operator a chance to show his loyalty to the country of his birth or adoption, to the country which affords him opportunity and protection.
2. To aid this country in every way possible in this crisis, particularly by speeding up the production of spruce and fir for airplanes and ships.
3. To render first aid to the boys who are flying in France, by giving them aircraft that outclasses anything the Kaiser [the leader of Germany] can produce.
4. To urge upon each member the necessity of remaining constantly at the same local [locale] during this war. Changing jobs causes loss of time. Every day's work counts.
5. To always remember that a day's lay-off means a day's work for the German rulers who started the war.
6. To point out that in all history no set of men ever had as glorious an opportunity to aid the cause of human liberty as is now presented to the members of the Loyal Legion of Loggers and Lumbermen.
7. To emphasize the fact that citizenship in our country places the duties of Government upon each of us.
8. To place the interests of our country above self interests.
9. To stamp out sedition and prevent sabotage.
10. To give all members an opportunity to present any suggestions touching conditions within locals to the Government.
11. To give the Government a chance to shows its appreciation to the members for their showing of loyalty.
12. To help make the world safe for democracy.

and civilization at this time than a regiment of rifles in France."
