OUTLOOK GOOD FOR
LABOR IN EVERETT

Things are looking very good to those
engaged in the building crafts at this
time and they have every reason to ex-
pect 4 prosperous season. The Great
Northern depot is the only contract job
of any Importance that is unfair and
otherwise there is but little friction be
tween contractors and iourneymen. Much
credit for this condition of affairs is
due to the union men in this city who
have steadily and consistently fought
for closed shop conditions. The ma
jority of the contractors and business
men of the city on the other hand sensi-
bly, realize the fact that the unions have
brought to this city class of men who
are intelligent, law abiding and honest.
Men who have brought their families
here, bought homes, placed their chill
dren in the public schools and contribut-
cd in every way to the upbuilding of
the city. Unions do not lay any claim
to perfection and men get in to them
who are unworthy, but they are unde
niably in the minority. As long as
both sides are disposed to be reasona
Bile and deal fairly, one with the other,
there is no reason why these conditions
should not continue indefinitely.

TEN MILLION GOES
TO JAPAN YEARLY
Would Give Employment to Ten
Thousand White Men at
Fair Wage.

a news dispatch in the Seattle Times
of last Sundays issue gave the startling
information that ten million dollars was
being sent back to Japan by the japanese
on this coast from the cities of Seattle
San Francisco and Honolulu each year
Ten million dollars lost to American
workingmen and taken out of circua-
ion. Reduced to cold figures it means
this. This amount of money would pay
ten thousand workingmcn 1898 day,
300 days in the year. Very few work
ing men are able to bank over 25 per
cent of their earnings so seven millions
and half of dollars would be placed di-
rectly into circulation on this coast. Bet
ter schools, better homes, churches hos
pitfalls would be some of the results of
this increased circulation. The butchers,
the baker and the candle stick maker
would all feel the impetus given to bust
ness by this amount of money.
If this amount of money We're to be
detracted from legitimate industry in
Philadelphia, or Boston and like cities
of the curtailed East, we wonder how
long it would be before the business men
of those cities would be clamorino for
Japanese exclusion? japanese cheap la
Dor is practically unknown of the Rocky
mountains. The Japanese students and
house servants with whom they have
to deal a very different class from the
coolies which swarm up and down our
coast. 1t is ignorance of the real gravity
of the situation which causes Eastern
people to throw a fit at the mention of
japanese exclusion.
At the present time and for over a
year past there are thousands of men
tramping from one part of the country
to the other in vain search for work
Men who are not to be classified as
tramps and vagabounds. Men who are
willing to work. Men, many of them,
with families somewhere who are vain

and father that they have found work.
Men who would do the same work that
the Jap is doing and in THEM despera-
tion would be willing to labor for near

allegiance to this country, pay no taxes,
in fact contribute absolutely nothing

MORE LABOR
LEGISLATION
Secured at Late SeS-
sion Than at Any
Other in Six Years.

G.. II. Case, President of the State
Federation of Labor, was in the city the
latter part of last week. Bro. Case was
in Olympia throughout the session of
the Legislature working in the interests
of the working people of the state. Still
little wobbly from the strain of try.
ing to pound into the heads of the mem
bcrs of the legislature the necessity of
passing Il little legislation that would
benefit the workers, he has been rest
ing few days before taking mp the
active work of the organization OF
which he is the official head
Bro. Case is optimistic concerning the
future in this state for organized labor.
Conditions generally throughout the
state are in excellent condition consider.
ing the slack times that have been en-
parienced. Several organizations that
had not heretofore been affiliated with
the federation have joined since
the Walla Walla convention.
While President Case expressed him
sell as being far from satisfied with
the work of the legislature from labor
ing mans standpoint, he asserts that
more legislation that will benefit the
working people was procured at this ses-
sion than at any other session for the
past six years. He is confident that
union men will soon learn that their
only hope is electing men from their
own ranks who have been tried and in
whom they have confidence, and that
they will use the knowledge to a good
purpose in the next legislative cam
paign.

FISHERMEN
ORGANIZE
On SnOhOmiSh River
to r e tain Their
Fishing Rights.

\ temporary organization of fishermen
of the Snohomish river was formed on
the 20th inst, 80 fishermen signing the
roll. At m early date the union will
be made permanent and will affiliate
with the United Fishermen of the Pac-
ific, the Federation of the Fishermen's
Locals of Alaska and the Pacific Coast
States. The new local expects to gain
a membership of about $50 when the
fall fishing-thc busy season on the
river-commenccs. Secretary Rosen-
berg of the United Fishermen was on
the river for a few days and states that
the Snohomish fishermen fully realize
that only through organization, can they
hope to retain their old fishing rights
Mr.. Rosenberg has been connected
with the organized labor movement for
many years and has attended session
after session of the legislatures of the
Pacific Coast states in the interest OF
legislation for seamen and fishermen. At
the recent session in Olympia, Mr.. Rosen-
berg did valiant work for the men "who

story of this bill and how it was dis
covered and killed in the senate was told

the minds of our readers. Mr.. Rosen-
