SIX YOUNG UNIVERSITY PEG
PIE NARROWLY ESCAPE
DROWNING.

Attempting to cross the Mar
rows from Lemons beach to Fox
island in frail rowboat late yes
terday afternoon, party of six
students of the University of Pu-
get Sound was caught in one of
the sudden squalls of the day and
narrowly escaped drowning in the
boiling current that swept through
the channel. The boat was filled
with water by huge white-capped
wave that dashed into it, and be-
fore the six frightened occupants
had time even to call for help
they were precipitated into the icy
waters.
Two other boatloads of students
had started on the hazardous trip
across the channel, and one of
these fastened up to the overturn-
ed boat, managing to pull the I'M
fortunate pleasure-seekers aboard.
A launch towed the two boats to
shore, and the students were cared
for in one of the cottages of DR..
e. M. Brown, who had thrown

HISTORIC BOILER

the Farmers union, because tney
feel that when the producers of
the fields are prospecting it will
tend to attract unemployed work
ers from the cities to the simple
life and to that extent lessen COM
petition in the trades and logical
ly stiffen prices received for the
sale of their labor power. But
while this readjustment, almost
revolutionary in character, is be-
ing planned and enforced by the
farmers, the trade unions regard ii
as nothing short of treason to the
American people to speak of re-
ducing wages in any branch of in
dustry. They point out that the
cost of living has advanced more
rapidly than wages, that there is
no likelihood of any immediate
reduction being made in the price
of food, clothing and other neces-
stiles, and consequently the unions
will fight to the finish before per-
hitting their wage scales to be
lowered.

makers are engaged in life and
death struggle with their employ
ers' association, that the marine
trades are entering a contest that
will be bitterly fought before they
surrender the conditions gained by
years of effort, that the anthracite
miners demanded positive assur-
ance that their economic welfare
would be maintained, that the
printing crafts spent upward OF
six miloiln dollars to safeguard
their interests, and that other
trades are battling against all
odds to insure stable prices for
the labor power they are compelled
to sell to sustain life.
The eyes of the labor world are
now. turning toward the iron and
steel workers, who are about to as
semble in Detroit and decide
whether they will permit their
labor prices to be depressed by
those cornering the products OF
that industry or give battle to the
Millionaire combine which is men

men, women and children in the
working class.

The threat of the Alabama min
ers last fall, after their strike
against wage reduction was
crushed by Gov. Conner and his
militia, to migrate to other dis
Itricts has been made good. Nearly
all the competent miners have left
Alabama or have gone into other
occupations, principally farming

Mine oWrkers reports that the

that occurred recently at Short
Creek places the blame on the in

Production has been greatly re-
duced, wages are ow, money
scarce and labor unreliable and
unstable, thus again demonstrating
the fact that well-paid, competent
and contented labor is the best and
cheapest at all times.
