Mill HANDS
ON STRIKE
Labor Commission
er Again in the
Spot Light.

Working men should stay away from
Aberdeen \ strike for living wages is
on in all the mills and all union men are
urged to gravely consider the following
facts:
About 1000 mill workers at Aberdeen
went on strike ten days ago for an
advance in wages of 25 cents day. The
eight mills involved shut down until
after July 1, expecting that by that
time the much abused workers will be
starved into submission.
Employment agency hyenas in Taco
ma and Seattle are lying about condi-
tions and are sending men there with
the guarantee that there is no labor
trouble
Charles F. Hubbard, state labor com
missioner went to Aberdeen this week
ostensibly to settle the trouble, and
finding it impossible to induce the mill
owners to concede anything, Hubbard
as usual urged the needy but loyal
strikers to surrender; urged the outside
men to return to work for a slight
raise in pay and to desert their comrades
who are striking for 50 a day--a CAPT
talist trick well understood by union
men.
The noteworthy trick of our "worthy
brother" Hubbard's work is that he
uses this trick, constantly practieed by
the pot politicians of capitalism, towit:
to urge one portion of striking work
ingmen to desert the other portion and
thereby break their combined power of
resistance and create dissension that
only time and heroic effort can over
come.

comotive engineer, and he was appoint

at the dictation of Brother" b S

ELkS LODGE
GOES WRONG
Unfair COntract ctOrs
to Construct the
New Building

All our readers are aware that the
local lodge of B. P. 0. Z. some weeks
ago let the contract, through then
building committee, for the construc-
tion of their new building to Peter
Sampson, an unfair contractor of thi.
city. Several bids were received and Mr.
Sampson received the contract because
he was the lowest bidder, the building
committee evidently ignoring the fact
that the lowest bidder need not neces
sarily be the best bidder. Many mem
bers of organized labor in the city are
also members of this popular order, and
it is not to be wondered at that they re-
sented the letting of this contract to a
man who has three separate times vio-
lated union regulations and each time
been placed on the unfair list. Hoping
that Mr.. Sampson would make some at
tempt to square himself with union la
Dor or that the Elks would reconsider
their action, the building trades re
Trained from taking any action that
would cause hard feeling. At the last
meeting of the Building Trades Coun-
ell the following communication was or
dered sent to the Elks' lodge:
Local Lodge No. 40, B. P O. F.:
"At the last regular meeting of the
Everett Building Trades Council l was
instructed to enter a protest to your
honorable body against the action of
your building committee in allowing the
construction of your new building to 90
on with non union labor.
"NIr. Peter Sampson, the contractor
to whom the contract was awarded, is
a notorious enemy of organized labor,
and the action of your committee in
letting the contract to him without first
having an understanding that union
men would be employed in the construc-
tiOn of the building cannot be regarded
as anything other than a hostile spirit
toward organized labor. 1t is not the

GAS COMPANY LOSES
In Suit Over Turning Of

John w. Mason has handed down an
opinion in the case of 1. @. Lazzelle
vs.. the Union Utility company. The
court made permanent the temper
AIRY Injunction granted the plaintiif
restraining the defendant from turn
ing of the gas supply for the
plaintiffs home In South Park. The
case springs out of an attempt made
by the Union Utility Company in
1908, to compel all users of gas to
sign a form of contract, from which
the company would be greatly relisy,
ed from any liability that it might
entail in case of accident due to the
use OF gas. Mr. Lazzelle refused to
sign the contract, and the company
threatened to cut on his gas supply.
A temporary injunction was secured
as test case, and the result is that
the Injunction is mede permanent.

From an that has been done and
learned three great general and i'm
mediate needs of country life stand
out:
First effective cooperation
among farmers. to put them on a
level with organized interests with
which they do business.
Second, a new kind OF schools in
tas country, which shall teach the
children as much outdoors as in

Third. better means of communi-
cstion, including good roads and a
parcel post, which the country peo-
ple are everywhere, and rightly,
unanimous in demanding.
TO these may well be added bet
ter sanitation; for easily preventa-
bic disease hold several million
country people in the slavery Of CON
tinuous ~ health.
The commission points out, ana
concur in the conclusion, that the
most imDortant help that the Gov
efnmeilt, whether national or state,
can give Is show the people how
to 80 abent these tasks Of organiEa-
ton, education, and communication
with the best and quickest results.
This can be done by the collection
and spread Of information. One
community can thus be informed Of
what other communities have done,
and one country of what other
countries have done. Such a help
by the peoples government would
lead to comprehensive plan OF or
sanization, education. and commu-
nication, and make the farming
country better to live in. for intel
leetual and social reasons as well as
for purely agricultural reasons.
The only recommendation sub.
NIT is that an appropriation of Se5,.
600, be provided to enable the com.
mission to digest the material 1t has
collected, aud to collect and to digest
more that is within reach, and thus
complete its work. This would en-.
able the commission to gather in the
harvest of suggestions which Is re-
sulting from the discussion il has
stirred up. The commissioners have
served without Compensation, and
do not recommend any appropriation
for their services, but only for the
expenses that will be required to fin.
