EVERETT WEAVERS WIN SHINGLE
PACKING CONTEST.

"That mind will always triumph over
matter" was fully demonstrated at the
A.-Y.-P. fair grounds Saturday in the
shinglc packing contest for the cham
pionship of the world. About twenty
entries were made for this event, both
uniGn and non union men entering. The
first prize of $50 was won by Edwin
Johnson, Il member of the Everett
'mon. and second prize was divided be
tween Garfield Kirk and f. Tritz. mem
bcrs of Everett and Bellingham locals
respectively. None of the non-union
men got inside OF the money. The
moral is obvious: 1t takes man with
brains under his hat to become a skill
ed workman in any trade. and the skill
ed workman with brains joins the union
of his craft. Each contestant was re-
Quircd to pack one thousand shingles,
ana the winning time was II minutes
10 seconds The comparative slowness
of the time is due to the rigid grading
rules under which the contest was held
and which most of the contestants were
maccuStomed to, as they have but re-
Gently been put in force.

BOSTON STARTS GRAND civic MOVEMENT
Various Interests of the City Work Together For
Common Betterment Uplifting of Working
Glasses the Keystone of the Movement = Unions
Given Splendid Tribute for Their Work.

How shall conditions under which men
toll for their daily bread be bettered is
the question uppermost in the minds of
many people. Men differ in many ways
in their views as to how labor may be
best served, but they may be divided
into two genral classes, viz: First, those
VINO believe that the interests of capital
and labor are identical and that the time
will come that they will work hand in
hand for the betterment of economical
and social conditions; ID, those who be-
lieve that there is an impossible gulf
between the two interests and that n
social democracy in which capi
talism will be unknown is the only
solution of this world wide problem.
Either solution of the dilemma is
worthy of much study upon the part of
those who really hope and wish for the
worlds betterment.
enter into the pros and cons of either
argument but to give to our readers an
interesting account of a new civic move
ment in one of our great American cities
which at the outset has taken labor in
to account in its plan for a rejuvenatiOn
of a city's moral and material life. 1t is
an enchanting picture Mr.. Sheppard has
painted in the following article which he
wrote for readers of the Seattle Star,
and if ii be deemed imaginary to a Ger
tain extent it is because it is so far
ahead of any municipal government in
our country and so different from our
present system of sordid commerciaism.
The Star staff correspondent speaks
from personal investigation and inter
views with the prime movers in the plan
for new and better Boston. While
comparisons are drawn and the applica
ton made for the benefit of Seattle, the
name of any American city may be sub
stituted with equal force for that of
Seattle.
The story which appeared in the Seat
tie Star on June 30th is thrilling and
inspiring and should come as a ray of
hope to those who are Respondent and
disappointed over the apparent poverty
and misery in all the large cities of this
country

They have gone pretty deeply into

pants. You got to show him how he
won't lose any money by doing this.
Here in Boston, through the wonderful
committee, they are going to give prizes
for the best plan for model homes for
working men. They are going to select
outlying districts where many of these
homes can be built: they are going to
get the street railway company to fur
districts; they are going to get the gas
company and the electric company to
supply these districts. Thus they are
going to SHOW the man who tears down
his tenement where he can build nice
clean homes that will bring him in more
money than his foul tenements. And in
cidentally the city will be saving, foI
more pleasant purposes, the hundreds
of thousands of dollars that are now
being anuallly spent in fighting tuber-
