INTEREST TO OR
CANNED LABOR

The ,cmi-amual meeting OF the
Labor Temple stock hodrce will be held
| Saturday evening of this week.
The most important bu,ince, to be
taken up will be the plan Of making
much needed improvccnte on the build
ing. The building and cquipping OF a
Kitchen and banquet roo and the in
stalation OF modern heating system
are badly needed There are two large
assembly rooms suitable for lodge pur.
poses which are vacant several nights
in the week They would make ideal
lodge rooms for snail fraternal orders
and if the building can be equipped to
provide for social entertainments the
revenue of the building can be greatly
increased.
Retiring international President
Brown. of the shngle wcavcrS. paid
farewell visit to Everett this week.
MIR, Brown has engaged in the shimgle
manufacture and will devote his entire
time to his business The boys all

All building trades lines have been
suffering a set back due to severe
weather and the prevailing slackncss
incident to the winter months, but
look for renewed business activity in
the spring.
See Backuo, of the Seattle branch of
the Asiatic Exclusion League was in
Everett the first part OF the week,
working among local unionst, in the
interest of the league and its work
How long will some of the contract
or1 in this town continue to be penny
wise and pound foolish? 1t ought to
sink into their craniums after awhile
that the great majority of the skilled
trade. are inside the union. The men
who work for il cheap wage do Il cheap
quality of work and in the end are
dear at any wage This has been proven
So many time, that ii seems needless
To rc-iterate it
Many of the local unions are taking
Q eat interest in the proposed union
ownership of the Labor journal. Those
that have taken no action should oct
into line. The labor paper is the best
wcapor both for ofense and defense, un
ion men could possibly have and they
ought to be alive to that fact
The shingic weavcrs' union have
taken Il practical step towards putting
the Journal on a financial basis. Be
sides agreeing to take stock in the ven
tuc. they went on record Tuesday
night that they would patronize in the
future the business firms that adver-
tscd in the columns of the Labor Jour
nal This i, the support that counts.

The "insidc men" of the Electric
Workers union have applied for achar-
ter and will have Il separate organiza-
tion with weekly meetings in the Labor
Temple
The Cook, and Walters and the Bar
tenders union, are right up among the
best locals in the city when it comes to
enc gctic work. Good attendance at
their meetings and Il steady growth in
membership is the rule,
The Labor Temple stand wants your
trade. Any clothing store or shoe store
that carried union goods exclusively
would be entitled to and would receive
Your support This stand refuses to
handle any scab goods, There is a
way to show your appreciation of this
fact it YOU are Il tobacco user. Do it
now
All eyes are on Olympia these days
and we are proud of the way Rep.
Campbell is working for labor's inter
csts. If we had twenty mort live un-
ipn men in the legislature what might
they not accomplish in the way Of
labor legislation.
