how grateful he must feel to you gentle
men of the legislature, who have so
kindly allowed him to trim his sails to
every political wind that blows! And
dear voter, when you 90 to register, tell

deluded ignorance imagine your politics
to be yOur business, and yours alone.
Oh, no, it isn't! 1t is the business of

EDITORIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

With this issue, the ownership and
control of the LABOR JOURNAL of this
city passes from the hands of Mr. \. !.
Morrow into that of the undersigned.
1t will be our constant aim to maintain
as high standard as possible with our
limited journalistic ability. 1t is not
the desire to enrich ourselves financial
lv that has prompted us to purchase and
operate this paper, but an understanding
of the necessity to organized labor of
keeping labor publication in the field,
and the hope that it may bear its part,
however humble, towards making work
ing conditions better and consequently
life little brighter for the men and wo-
men who toll.
In discussing the question of enter
ing upon this venture, we both felt that
we must have the assurance of the sup
port of the union people of Everett if
we could have any hope of being success
full. With that end in view we appealed
directly to the unions of the city to
come to our aid in establishing the
JOURNAL on a good financial basis. We
were not disappointed Without excep-
tion, the various organizations prom
ised us their hearty support and cooper

LOCAL WEAvERS PUR-
CHASE SHINGLE PLANT

\. II. Garner and Otto Nelson, both
charter members of the local shingle
weavers' union, have purchased the
shingle mill known as the Herrett Farm
4 Mill Co., 21a miles south of Lowell
on the Snohomish road, and will have
ii ready to operate in about a month.
The mil has a Sumner upright machine,
and was formerly operated by water
power. The new owners will put in an
engine and boiler and make other altera
tions necessary to modernize the plant.
They will run day and night shift, with
daily output of 10000 per day.
The Union Shingle Co, is the name
adopted by the new firm and it sounds

to take what they give you and call it
good. There seems to be no other way.
What they did to the Direct Primary
Law was sin. am still wondering
how they turned the trick. The only
explanation apparent is the fact that
such noise was raised over local option
and Investigations OF state Officers that
party machine that was producing the
Metealf amendments. The job is done
now, but the rawness of it calls forth
a kind OF sncaking admiration for the
fellows who had the nerve to pull off a
stunt like that in the very face of popu-
lar sentiment on the Direct Primary.
Here are some of the amendments to
the law How do you like them? l.
Candidates for the state supreme bench

A COUNTY
ORGANIZATION
Shingle Weavers of SnohO-
mish County Unite.

Prior to the Ballard trouble of 1906
the shinglc wcavers of this state were
probably one of the best organized crafts
within its boundaries. Everywhere out
side OF Ballard the weavers were un.
ionized and supremely confident. The
failure of that struggle to accomplish
the result for which it was called had
a demoralizing effect upon many of its
members. Dues were allowed to lapse.
Confidence was shaken. Many of the
Staumchest members became discouraged
Many left the trade to engage in other
| occupations. Some localities recovered
quickly and were soon back to their old
strength. Other places are still feeling
the effect of the apathy that took hold
OF the welvers after the strike.
With all these dscouragements how.
ever, the organization is as fully deter
mined to set high water mark in the
union movement as ever and are now
laying plans to bring back the members
who have become delinquent and to sol
,dify and strengthen their international.
With that end in view they are adopt
ing plan of district organization the
first steps having been taken in Sno-
homish county. \ county convention
was held in this city last Sunday, which
was attended by delegates from every
shingle weavers local in the county. The
situation in the various localities was
discussed and ways planned for more
concentrated work. Sometime in the
near future county organizer will be
placed in the field, his expenses to be
borne jointly by the local unions in the
district and the international 1t is
planned to keep him in the field as
much as possible collecting dues and
re-installing and initiating members.
Literature pertaining to the labor move
ment will be freely circulated for the
purpose of educating the mmbership.
The next county meeting will be held
in Arlington the third Sunday in May
where conditions will be compared and
the work further outlined. Each dele
gate will be expected to prepare a paper
to be read at the meeting, dealing with
different phases of the trade union move
mcnt Nothing else will bring the df
ferent locals so closely together and pro
mote good feeling as these meetings and
the weavers of the county are enthus-
iastic over the new departure.
The following members were elected
permanent Officers at the Everett meet
ing last Sunday: President, c. y. Cliff
lord. OF Everett; vice president, F f.
smith of Arlington; sec, Geo. Morrison,
Of Narysville
Delegates were in attendance from Ed
monds, Granite Falls, Arlington, Marys
,illc, Machias, Everett.
We are informed that Skagit and
Nhatcom counties are taking up the
same plan and that a meeting was held
in Sedro-Woolley last Sunday to per
feet an organization of those counties
along the same lines adopted by Sno-
homish county. 1t is expected that the
other counties throughout the state will
fall in line and it is hoped that the
next annual convention of the interna-
tional will be able to report a notable
increase in membership and an interest
N the objects and purposes of the or
gani2ation.

The merchant who does not ad.
vertise at all may or may not be
your friend, fellow worker, but 1t is
foregone conclusion that he who
literally patronizes the columns of

looking for the workingman's pat I

desirous of your friendship.
