Spokane Woman Saved From Knife by
Fer-Don's Medical Experts
Mrs. Robert Howie, of 1907 Maple ST., Everett,
Tells How Other Doctors Wanted to Operate

Since the arrival of Fer-Don and his
staff of Medical Experts and Bloodless
surgeons in Everett, much comment
has been made regarding FerDon and
his experts. Many remarkable cures
have been performed daily upon the
deaf, lame. crippled and rheumatic. All
cases have bordered upon the miracu-
lous order, which has caused a great
deal of excitement in the community.
People who have lived right here in
Everett and vicinity have tested their
treatment-people well known, who
would not allow the use of their names
were it not for the fact they were so
grateful for benefits they have received
from Fer-Don's experts treatment.
Among the many who called to thank
Fer-Dons doctors was Mrs. Robert
HOWE, of 1907 Maple Street, Everett,
who said:

perts as a last resort, and they told
me my trouble at once; also said they

RELIC OF DARK AGES.
Child Labor a Form of Slavery For
Which No Excuse Exists.

Rev. Dr. William ROsenau of Eutaw
Place temple. Baltimore, in a recent
sermon on "A Modern Form of Slav-
ery-Child Labor" said in part
Our civilization is not an unmixed
blessing. The social organism is far
from perfect. 1t can stand improve
ment in many particulars. and toward
this many sided improvement thinking
men should bend their united efforts.
We are given TO boasting great deal
about the progress humanity has made
In its appreciation and its enjoyment

tan supremacy. And yet it must be

cry among the young. called child la
Dor.
1t is time that moralists and preach
ers. professors and teachers. jurists
and statesmen, physicians and social
workers, merchants and laborers. by
concerted action. put an end to an evil
which is out of tune with the lofty
keynote of our present day humanity.
Let no one find an excuse for child
labor In the peculiar economic condi-
tons of our age. Human life. whether
that Of the adult or the child. is sacred.
You will concede that the state de-
ponds upon the child for the future
citizen. If this be so then you will
also grant that the state has both the
right and the duty to so protect the
chid's highest interests that the child
may become contributor to the sum
total of the community's real and gen
uine happiness. Child labor is the foe
Of the state. 1t stunts the physical
growth and health of the future citi-
zen by imposing upon children bur-
dens too heavy for them to carry. 1t
denies them that education which is
needed for intelligent citizenship. 1t
robs them Of their sweet innocence by
making them yoke fellows of the full
grown adult. 1t annihilates their hap
piness by forcing them into the strug-
gle for existence when they should en-
Joy constant watchful care.
In many states of the Union compul-
sorry education laws have been adopted
and legislation has been effected which
prevents the employment of the young
boy or girl In the shop. Office or fac
tory between certain well defined ages.
Thus a beginning has been made to
break up this degrading form of slav-
cry. What has been done by the sep
arate states ought to be done by the
federal government as a whole.

TRADES
COUNCIL

In the absence of President Stratton
Vice President Lutz called the council
to order at 8 p. m.
A communication was read from the
tanning the questions to be voted upon
by referendum. Same was laid on the
table one week that the subject matter
might be first discussed in the local
union meetings.
Plumbers reported that the firm of
| Robertson & Warren were unfair and
cessary change in the published unfair
| list. Same was ordered complied with.
The Laundry Workers Union pre-
scented their wage scale for the year
! 1910 and asked the endorsement of the
council for new scale. By unanimous
vote council endorsed their new scale.
Harry Holberg of the Stage Employees
Alliance was given the courtesy of the
| floor to explain the status of the newly
organized stagehands' union. The new
organizatisn asked for repreont
in the central body and the credentials
of Brother Holberg were accepted and
he was obligated and seated.
Delegates Steve Mitchell and Fred
Anthony of the Building Trades coun-
ell presented the fluctuations of that
body on the fact that both bodies had
decided to meet on the same night each
week and expressed the belief that har-
monious relations and close bond of
fellowship would continue to exist be-
tween the two central bodies.
1t was the sense of the council as
expressed by motion of one of the dele
gates that organized labor should center
its fight against some particular firm
on the unfair list. 1t is the belief of
many delegates that those business
firms who are antagonistic to organized
labor should be singled out and fought
to standstll instead of scattering
their efforts as has generally been the
custom.
Motion prevailed that the committee
on resolutions be instructed to draw
up protest against the proposed in
crease of postage rates on second class
mail matter and forward same to the
representatives of this state in Con
gress.
| The produce committee was instruct
ed to invite the Pacific Grocery to give
a demonstration of its canned goods
to the council as soon as convenient.
