their own. No man is free who has not
something to say about the conditions
under which he works.
The free man today is he who has
some money in the bank, who is out OF
debt, who works a fair length of time
for a fair amount of money, and who can,
personally or through his union, remedy
any injustice from which he may be suf-
fering. In small industries. where two
or three workmen labor side by side
with their employer, they have large
measure of personal liberty without be-
longing to any organization They are,
in such cases, on familiar terms with
their employer, and are really more like
partners than hired men. But in the gi-
gantic plants that now exist one worker
counts for as little as leaf on a tree.
The bigger the plant, the smaller the
workman. is a truth the wage Garner has
found out by experience. The only way
to overcome this shrinkage of the work
man is by means of organization. The
union is the only expedient by which a
workman in large plant can remain
man instead of becoming a mere num-
ber-Boyce's.

The State Federation of Labor has
sent out to all of the affiliated unions
circulars calling their attention to the
various laundries in the city that do not
employ union help-about sc in number.
The Trades and Labor Assembly in
dorsed the stand that the Federation has
taken in behalf of the Laundry Workers
Union. We are informed that there is
no law in Colorado prohibiting unions
from sending circular letters notifying
other unions who those are who do not
employ union heln. and that being the
case there may be quite revolution in
the unions here in our city in short
time. We hope So at least.

hall. The consideration is s25O0.
The site has a 40 foot fro ntage on
Yakima street and 100 feet on

DISASTROUS FIRE
7 NARROWLY AVERTED
BY Prompt Work Of NeiGhbors aud
the Fire Department---lsudnalIs
Loose Clothes

Hudnall's house, in the Beach
Addition, Tuesday night was saved
from destruction by prompt work
of the neighbors. Mrs. Hudnall
had hung the washing in the nn-
finished upper part of the house to
dry and had a lamp setting on the
floor under box that was nailed
to the floor. While the family
were at supper the box caught fire
and burned hole thru the roof,
when a neighbor saw it and set up
a lusty yell which soon brought
crowd and the fire department.
With the aid of couple OF
garden hose and a bucket brigade
the fire was under control by the
time the hose cart arrived on the
scene. The loss is estimated by
Mr.. Hudnall at about $l25 and is
covered by insurance.

This is the very hub of the In,

THE COLLINS SMuDGE POT
kennewick Man Invents Pot That Uses
Heat, Smoke and Steam to Pre-
vent Frost Blight

The committee appointed to test
the various makes of slnudge pots
had a trial on the lot adjoining the
Fruit Growers Association Monday
afternoon but no decision as to the
kind of pot was arrived at. Amongst
other pots tested was one designed
by Derwood Collins of the G.. H.
Collins Co. and this pot is going to
appeal pretty strongly to some of
the local fruitgrowers. The idea is
a combination of heat, smoke and
steam. The pot is made like the
ordinary oil pot with a pan placed
about six inches above the top of
the oil pot, in which is placed
water. The burning of the oil
creates smoke and heat and gener-
ates steam from the water. The
moisture in the air will undoubted-
ly lessen the danger of frost as it is
we'll known that fruit blossoms
have remained uninjured in a cold
snap where the trees were encased
with sleet and ice. Whatever the
outcome Of the committees test
we welcome the appearance of
Kennewick mans contribution to
the great effort of the western fruit
growers to overcome the late spring
frosts.

THE COLUMBIA RIVER
New Book by Prof. Lyman Pictures
kennewick and Her Future
Greatness

Professor Lyman's new book
about the Columbia River, its his
tory, its myths, its scenery and its
commerce has the following to say
about kennewick:
But while we have been flying
in our imagination over the spacious
valley Of the Yakima, our steamer
has been speeding down the broad
River and we are now in sight of a
vast prairie stretching east and
south, bounded on the southern
horizon by the azure wall, ridged
with white, of the Blue Mountains.
10 the east, this great plain melts
into the sky. In fact it extends to
the Bitter Root Mountains, dis
tance OF over two hundred miles.
On the west bank of the river we
see a narrower plain bounded by a
treeless ridge. On either bank we
gee taking shape before us houses
and trees, while extended over the
River, like threads of gossamer in
the distance, bridge is outlined
against the sky. We soon discover
that we are near Pasco on the east
bank and kennewick on the west
bank OF the River. The bridge is

new QUARTERS FOR
COMMERCIAL CLUB
Ciuo Pays Interest on City Bonds for
Upper Story of Town Hail.
$3.50 q Year

With reference to securing a city
hall and quarters for the CONNER
cial Club the following proposal
was made at the meeting of the
Board of Directors of the CONNER
cial Club Thursday night that the
city buy site as it has since voted
to do and build on this site two
story brick building costing about
sl5, 900. The upper floor would be
fitted up exclusively for the Com
mercial Club. Bonds would be
voted to pay for the building and
the Club would pay the interest for
twenty years the life of the bonds.
The advantages of the plan are that
the city would get municipal head
quarters, Jail and fireman's head
quarters for twenty Years without
expense further than the use of
the city's credit and on the other
hand the Commercial Club would
have apartments fitted up just as
it wanted them and the rental
would be moderate. Those who
have favored the plan say the bonds
would probably carry about
five percent making the annual
charge to the Club $50 for fine
quarters and long period of time.
