Another letter from Lynn, Mass.e
states that II. L. Hughes Of Spokapx
is making considerable Roadway II
the cause Of the American Labet
union. The communication says:
'Mr Hughes spoke before the LynA
Labor council, February 6; February
8 at a meeting of the B. and 8. p. u.
Of Lynn; the following Tuesday at
the grain counter workers; Wednes-
day, Counter Workers, No. 262, Hav-
erhill Mass, and Thursday at a
mass meeting of the Heel Workers,
No. 1853. His addresses did more
good in the two hours he spoke than
any other labor leader has accom-
plished."
AS there were only six present at
the meeting of the elevator boys held
Saturday evening at the municipal
court for the purpose of forming a
union, the work of organizing had to
be postponed until Thursday. 1t is
necessary to have 10 members in or
der to get charter from the Ameri-
can Labor union, and nearly all the
80 elevator boys in the city have
signified their willingness to join the
union.
w. II. Upper of the typographical
union advises all unions in Spokane
to affiliate with the Washington
State Federation Of Labor. He says:
"At the present time there are but
IA out of AZ unions in Spokane affili-
ated with the state federation. The
others should now como in and help
the work along and not stay on the
| outside, selfishly reaping the benefits
of their fellow workers who are
spending their energy and funds to
effect a solidarity of labor"
| The bridge and structural iron
workers union held it's regular meet
ing at Central Labor hall Saturday
night. There was good attendance.
Twelve new members were initiated.
The union has been very prosperous
and the officers say the outlook is
encouraging.

made record in December. 1t grant
ed charters to 16 central bodies, AZ

nurses in the Philippine islands. The
examination Is open to all graduates
between the ages of Is and IS, of
schools of recognized standing who
have had years subsequent hospital
work. The scope of the examination
covers the usual course of hospital
work with special emphasis laid upon
knowledge of diet.

will doubtless encourage many to take
the examination. The successful can
didates will be required to pay their
own travelling expenses, which. how
ever, will be refunded after two years
of satisfactory service.
Now that the war is over, there
will be less of the disagreeble work to
do, and the camp hospitals will be the
exception. Many will be placed in

Must Pay Shine $500.

An attachment has been issued out
of the superior court directing the
sheriff of King county TO seize property
within his jurisdiction belonging &c. Lola
Mason. The writ is based UPON aft :
daVit and complaint of Attorney p. c.
Shine, who has a claim for professional
services against the Mason woman for
$500.
In the papers Mr. Shine sets up that
late last October he entered into an
agreement with the defendant for ad-
vice and services in the recovery "of
lOrg sum of money from one Howell
w. Peel, and to collect and recover
said money and enforce payment" for
which services the attorney was to re-
ceive from Lola Mason the sum OF
$500.
Mr.. Shine says that the woman com
promised and settled her claim against
Howell w, Peel, receiving large
sum OF money therefor without cen.

COMBINE AND COOPERATE.

COMBINE AND COOPERATE.
Editor of The Press: In the inter
view published in last Fridays issue
Old Pioneer hits the nail on the head
when he says combine and cooperate
in the matter of unjust discrimination
regarding freight rates.
The business men of Spokane have
labored long and hard to have this
wrong righted without making any
Roadway. The writer remembers at
tending a session of the interstate com
merce commission held in Spokane in
the fall of 1890, when evidence enough
was produced to give Spokane the re-
lief asked for if such thing were
possible.
The people have been in hopes that
the time was coming when this mat
ter would be adjusted and it has pc
riodically came to the front for the
past ID years and every scheme tried
has fell fiat.
The merchant is rot the only one
that suffers by the excessive freight
rate; the consumer pays the freight;
it touches the pocket of every business
man and the farmer. Every resident
of the Inland Empire contributes to
pay these charges. They affect every
land owner and are an indirect tax
upon the people.
l would suggest that the greatest en-
couragemcnt should be given to the
electric roads projected leading toward
the Columbia and Snake rivers and a
