He expressed genuine regret that a

influence his word might have and that
he might present to that people trade
unionism in a light they had never be-
fore seen it--for there is no question
but that the man does understand the
great underlying principles of organized
effort on the part of the workcrs-but
he was sure that there was nothing he
could do in the matter. His work was
national, not local!
Thursday Mr.. Stelzle delivered an ad-
dress bristling with telling reasons why
the great Christian church of America
should come to the aid of the trade
union movement in its work for the bet
terment of humanity. Read these few
extracts from that address;

had no occasion as yet to change my
mind in regard to the Electrical Work

are removable causes for this deplor-
able controversy which has brought the
seceders under the iron heel of disc-

feeling of discomfort to some extent in
to the American labor movement. How
ever the whole matter will be a sub
to be hoped that the contentious of
both factions may be put fairly and
that we may be able to 90 to the bot

of that can satisfy the real consciences

TORONTO. Canada, Nov. 1.-THE
telegram in regard to the contract let
for erecting the First Presbyterian
church with unfair labor, was unfortu-
nately delayed in reaching me until
Saturday morning owing to the fact
that there was no afternoon session OF
the convention on Friday and | was
consequently out of reach of the con-
vention officers. When | received the
telegram the time limit for the intro
duction of resolutions, except by unanl-
nous consent, had expired. Indeed a
resolution placed before the convention
could have served no purpose further
than to have placed my name in the
convention proceedings. Let me make
this clear. The Department of Church
and Labor bears as yet, no very defl-
mite relationship to the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. Mr.. Stelzle has a
voice, but no vote in the convention and
is nothing more than sort of fraternal
delegate to this convention. Anything
that Mr.. Stelze could do, therefore, he
would have to do voluntarily as the con
yention could do no more than recon-
mend.
| thought the matter over and con
cluded to 90 to Mr.. Stelzle personally
and law the matter before him and ask
him to bring all the pressure to bear
he could upon the officials of the
church in Everett to straighten matters
out. From the tenor of a magnificent
address the reverned gentleman had de
ivered to the convention on the pre-
vious day-extracts from which | shall
give YOU farther ON in this article
had every reason to believe that he
would interest himself in the matter
enough to endeavor to bring some pres
sure to bear upon the members OF the
church in Everett that would induce
them to follow out the high stand tax
en- by the Department of Church and
Labor.
SO | went to Mr.. Stelzle and laid the
matter squarelv before him and asked
what he could do. He was very
courteous, oh very! But a sugar coated
pill is none the less a pill Here is IN
substance his reply;
"There is nothing ! can do at all
You say the contract has been let and
therefore it is too late to protest. You

RAILROAD MEMS
NEW HOME
Brotherhood Provide for
Their Disabled
Members

The local organization of Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen are very much
pleased with the progress that is being
made by the committee from the vari-
Gus railroad organizations in erecting
the new home for the aged and disabled
railroad employees of America. The new
buildings that the committee have ar
ranged for will cost approximately S15,-
OOO and the Railroad Trainmen do
mated $l5,O0OO of this at their conven
ton held last May in Columbus, Ohio,
and four other railroad organizations
lowing is brief description of the new
home and its location
The new buildings will be erected
upon the property now occupied by the
Home, consisting of about five acres OF
land at the intersection of st. John
ard Beach streets, Highland Park,
twenty five miles north of Chicago, on
the Chicago & Northwestern railway.
The new buildings will be surrounded
by very fine grove of hard maple,
elm. oak and hickory trees. The build
ings will face the main line track of
the Chicago & Northwestern railway
and the Chicago & Milwaukee Electric
railway.
Sheridan road, one of the greatest
automobile boulevards in the United
States. connecting Chicago and Mil
waukee. is Just two blocks east OF the
Home grounds. and Lake Michigan is
only three blocks from the Home; the
lake shore at this point has a ninety
foot bluff, from which a grand view of
the lake and the passing boats is OBJ
tanned.
The new Home consists of two build
ings. the Administration and Home, oc-
cupying one building, the other con
tanning the power plant and laundry.
The main building will be three
stories, with a high basement, practi-
cally all above the ground, built in the
form of letter Ct the front part
being l50x42 feet, the center extension
being 40x65 feet.
The plans show building OF a
| strictly modern architecture, the con
struction of which will be fire proof
throughout, with a porch or balcony for
each floor ten feet wide by fifty feet
lopg-these balconies are easily acces-
sibe by all of the members.
The color scheme of the exterior OF
the buildings harmonize, and the ef'
feet is very pleasing to the eye Inc
walls from the grade line to the first
story widow sills will be of chocolate
colored brick; from the first story win
dow sill line to the third story window
sills will be of light red brick; the
third story will be of rough cast ce'
ment on rough brick.
The main building will have capa-
city of eightv-six beds besides the
hospital, which will accommodate
twelee beds. and rooms for six men and
six women attendants, the superintend
ents quarters, kitchen, dining rooms
chanel. entertainment rooms, etc. eaef
floor having a recreation and reading
room. There will also be an electric
! elevator to carry the men from any
floor to the reading room, and vii
have separate entrance on one side O.
ground level for those who are obige'
to use wheel chairs.

PROF. VAN ALLSBURG
E.W. Hustled, DIRECTORS
Sentiment Strong for Change on
School Board-Present Aggrega-
ton Assumes to be Greater Than
the People, Who Created 1t.

Everett School District No. "a is
about to have an election for the pur-
pose of electing two new directors. The
election occurs Saturday, December 4
The candidates so far in the field are
Earl w. Hustled and Professor Van
AlIsburg on one side, and F. X. Pendle-
ton and f. p Nelson on the other
The issue is administration and anti
administration.
The present school board seeks tc
perpetuate its policies; and, if it had
never been criticised before it should
be for this one thing alone.
Why not let the people of the dis
trict seek to perpetuate the policies OF
its good and faithful servants, instead
of the servants becoming greater than
the body to whom they owe their al
legiance and services?
The present school board, of which
F. r. Pendleton is member, has not
been criticised only for assuming to be
greater than the body of taxpayers
whom they are supposed to represent
but has come in open conflict in many
instances with the business men of this
city and organized labor.
In this campaign, for the first time
in the history of Everett, the labor
union voter has a chance to cast his
ballot for the perpetuatiOn of union
principles, and with splendid chances
of victory.
The business men of Everett, in
large numbers, are taking an active
part in this campaign. They claim the
present board has not patronized Ev
erett institutions as it should, and they
want new board pledged to the ad
vancement of Everetts business by tn,
employment of Everett labor and the
purchasing of home made products
wherever possible. Now, Mr.. Union
Man. YOU, and Mr. Business Man, who
have been fighting and praying so long
for the same results, must get together
here and now. and center your efforts
for the election of new men on the
board of school directors.
The old board has proven time ana
again it cared not for the claims OF
Everett or Everetts people In its last
great enterprise where it could have ad
vanced the interests of our busines,
and laboring men, it choose rather tc
buy Seattle's product than Everett :
The new high school was planned by
a Seattle architect, and the contract fol
the building was awarded to Seattle
contractors.
The year before the plumbing in the
Washington school was awarded to g
Seattle firm.
The year before that a non-unior
plumber was given work at the Jeffer
son school.
All this time Everetts labor organi
cations were right here on the GROUND
ready to do fair work at fair prices
under fair conditions.
Mr.. Union Man, do you believe Mr.
Pendleton. who has been member O
this board all this time, cares whethe
you get work from the school district

The following is a reply to telegram
sent to Mr.. Marsh last week in regards
to the local Presbyterian Church con-
tract being let to an unfair contractor.
Mr.. Stelzle at the Denver convention
last year promised the cooperation of
the church. From the letter ne
has failed to keep that promise.

MAYoR nosEs MIsTAKE.

The first OF serIes of debates on the
teninerancc question. between Mayor
Rose of Milwaukee and Dr. Samuel
Dickie OF Albion. Mich was held last
night at Milwaukee. wis. Mayor Rose
spoke FOR the H1uor interests, ana
maintained. among other things, that
there is no prohibition In the Ten COM
mandments. nor is there he said one
word in the Bible advocating prohibit
tion.
The Mayor ought 90 reconsider that
argument The Ten Commandments
are. nearly au OF them. prohibitve,
From them It is very evident that the
divine Lawmaker knows the supreme
value OF Thou shalt not in the edu-
cation OF tho children OF men. There is
no attempt at proper regulation OF
any vice. or crime All are stamped
as unlawful Not one is legalissd
There is no comfort for the advocates
of the murderous liquor traffic In the
terrible thunders OF Sinai. If there
ever was a prohibition law. the Deca-
logue is that law
II especially prohibits murder and
since the sale Of rum often means,
virtually. the murder OF human beings,
the commandment prohibits the traffic
IN that fluid The commandment is
directed just as much against the muir
der that Is caused. directly or indirect
~. by the dispensation OF poison. as
by stabblng. or shooting. The essence
Of the Law Is that We must love our
fellowmen as we love ourselves BY
that principle the Law prohibits
US from doing anything that we know
will. in any way. injure our fellow-be-
ings, and II there Is anything more
harmful. physically. morally spiritual
ly. and every way, than the saloon
traffic. we fail TO know H.
Further. the Bible cOmmends What
soever things are honest. whatsoever
things are Just. whatsoever things are
pure. whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are Of good report,
and this Is broad enough 20 embrace
prohibition Of the traffic Ia both opium
and liquor and an other agencies Of
ruin and damnatlon.
