forth there is no reduction in wages, that the employees are going to be placed on a piece work basis, that there is only readjustment of wages, that employees will earn more under the new schedule than formerly. He says the company wish to point out that the readjustment of rates referred to is not cut, and the principle in- volved has been entirely overlooked. This principle is the change from an hourly rate based on prices, however, that would give an operator at least the amount he has been earning be- fore with real incentive to increase his Eay and consequent output The change from hourly rates to flat piece work prices is far different from a cut in wages, which has not and will not be made. We, the members of the Tire Builders Union, desire to answer the matter in the press of January 7, by MT. Anderson, and respectfully sub- init the following facts p the public, in which we believe w an show our position in his mattd b be proper and right We wish to be fair and honest in what we say to the public, and do not wish to mislead any citi- zen as to the controversy between the tire builders and the company.
 Facts and figures are tiresome, and so we find MT. Anderson is laboring under misa apprehension of not only the principle but the numerical facts involved. We may sum up the whole matter by stating that we are cut cents on 219 and 3-inch tires, 10 cents on 31b inch tires, 15 cents on 5inct tires, 30 cents on 415-inch tires and 2z cents on 5-inch tires for the Dunlop department.

had sold her two girls.
Mrs. Foster, who has dedicated her
life to helping others, was assigned to
Seattle in the white slave hunt. She

On the witness stand Mrs. Foster
said that 1t had been necessary for

Miller to occupy one of the rooms.
