Hold
Semi-Annual Meet

The semi-annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Labor Temple Associa-
tion was held in the Labor Temple last
Saturday evening. The stockholding
unions were nearly all represented at
the meeting.
The report of the secretary treasurer
for the six months ending December 81,
1909, showed substantial increase in
the treasury of the association. The
following figures give good idea of the
business done during the term:
Amount on hand July l, '09-$326.59
Receipts from all sources Cor
term 1852
Disbursements for term ------ 626.26
Balance on hand Dec. 81, '09-- 473.65
The receipts make very creditable
showing when it is taken into consiiera-
tion that nearly all the unions pay a
very nominal rental-much smaller in
fact than could be obtained in any other
hall in the city. The stockholders feel
that they are fortunate in possessing
home of their own in which there is not
a dollar of Indebtedness
The following officers and board of
directors were chosen for the ensuing
term of six months President, L. F.
Christianson; vice president, E. A.
Francois; secretary treasurer L. P.
Marsh building superintendent, B. r.
Elzey; board of directors, B. R. Elzey,

NEW YORK, Feb 4.-Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, presided at conference
of women called to discuss how to Sc
cure the best possible cooperation of
women of unorganized industries for the
cause of organized labor. The question
of the organization of new women's
trades unions was taken up.
Among the conferees were Mrs. o. H.
Belmont, Miss Anne Morgan. Miss
Elizabeth Marbury, Miss Ida NJ. Tarbell,
Mrs. Eva Macdonald Valesh, general or
ganizer for the American Federation of
Labor, and Miss Mary Drier, president
of the Women's Trades Union League
of New York.
at is a source of great satisfaction
to me that the society women of New
York have taken up the cause of the
shirt waist strikers" Mr.. Gompers said.
Had it not been for their support the
girls probably would have been starved
and beaten into submission some time
ago.

Northwest Printers
Plan for Big Year

The Northwest Council of Printers
held their annual convention in Hoquiam
at the close of the State Federation
convention and transacted considerable
business for the benefit of their craft
in the northwest.
The trouble emanating in Tacoma
between the Typographical Union and
the building trades over the Perkins
building was discussed and the stand
taken by Charles Perry Taylor in the
matter was endorsed.
The convention decided to divide the
northwest into districts for the purpose
of facilitating the work of the confer
ence and plans were endorsed to place
an organizer east of the mountains.
A. w. Swenson, of Spokane, was re-
elected president of the conference for
the ensuing year and George B. Dunn,
of Tacoma, was elected secretary.
The typos intend to thoroughly or
ganize the northwest and particular at
tention will be paid to unionizing shops
in the smaller cities and towns.
Very few trades in the northwest at
the present time do not have state
or inter state organization and the
printers are not going to be behind any
of the other crafts in any plan of or
ganization that will strengthen their
ranks. The district plan has proven of
great value in bringing the various To-
Gals represented in close and sympa-
thetic touch with each other.

PLAN NEW
DEPARTMENT
Building Trades Vot-
ing on New State
Body With Charter
From A. F. of L.

B. b. Elzey was in Seattle Sunday in
conference with the preliminary commit
tee appointed to draw up a plan for a
state building trades department. Bro.
Steve Mitchell was member of the
committee but was unable to attend and
Bro. Elzey went instead
Bro. Elzey states that the proposition
is well under way and that the proposed
formation of state body will be sent
out to every building trades union in the
state in few days. A temporary set
of bylaws modelled in part after the
constitution of the state building trades
department of California was adopted
by the committee Sunday and will be
sent out to the locals for their approval.
If the unions of the state by referendum
approve of the plan of a state body,
permanent organization will be effected
and a complete constitution and set of
bylaws drawn up. 1t is confidently
expected, states Mr.. Elzey, that the
proposed organization will be approved
by the locals generally.
There are approximately 1000 union
men in the state members of building
trades locals. A state body would be
of great value in welding these locals
in one harmonious whole. Conditions of
employment and the state of each local
organization would be simultaneously
transmitted to the membership, thus
enabling the locals to take strong grip
on each local situation.
While no official expression has been
obtained from the local unions on the
wisdom of forming the new organiza-
tion, the general sentiment among the
individual members of the building
trades of the city is favorable to the
project, and it is believed that the
unions will so express themselves when
the matter is brought before them for
o vote.

FOR LESS
WORK DAYS
Cooks and W. alters to
Ask for Working
Week of Six Days.

Six days shall constitute working
week for the members of the local cooks
and walters union if present plans of
the union go through.
This is in line with nearly all other
organizations that believe in six day
week and the boys and girls will re-
ceive the hearty support of the other
crafts in the city. The cooks and wait
ers in Seattle have enjoyed the six
day week for some time and the local
union thinks that what is god enough
for the boys and girls in Seattle is
pretty good in Everett.
The members have had the project
under discussion for some time and last
Monday evening a special meeting was
called to take action in the matter. That
they are enthusiastic over the matter
was attested by largely attended meet
ing-the largest in fact for some months.
1t was decided to give the hotels and
restaurants thirty days notice of the
change in working conditions, putting
the new rule into effect March 1st
The union does not want the impress
sion to go out that the restaurants and
hotels will close one day week. The
new rule means that one day out of the
seven each memebr will have a day off,
a substitute being employed for that
day.
The union does not anticipate any
trouble putting the new rule into effect
as the justice of the demand must ap-
peal to the proprietors and the public
in general.
Cooks and Walters Alliance No. 451,
has been enjoying a splendid growth
during the past few weeks and there are
very few non-union people in the city
in that line of business.

to do the square thing by us.
But about this whole business of
Judging labor unions-why does every
body gauge us by our worst points,
whereas they themselves expect to be
judged by their best? Folks don't treat
any organization as they do ours, in
this respect. It's hardly square deal
When the average man thinks of the
labor union. his mind runs at once to
the last union "slugging" story report
ed by sensational newspaper, which in
all probability was greatly exaggerated
and for which organized labor does not
at all stand.
1t might not be amiss to tell about
the way in which organized labor has
elevated the great mass of workers.
Their labor halls have become social
centres, where lecture courses are given,
and where the union man may take his
wife and family for social functions.

The Sea View Improvement club of
Mukilteo will fire their opening gun

Saturday evening when monster mass
meeting will be held in the mill citv to
protest against the policy of the Crown
Lumber Company The officers of the
club say they have met with splendid
success with the petitions in circulation.
People everywhere have been eager to
express their disapproval of Jap herding
by signing the petition and thousands of
signatures could have been secured as
easily as hundreds. The bad weather
hindered the ladies in getting around
with the petitions. It was not a oues-
tion of getting signers-it was ques-
tion of giving the people a chance at
the paper.
The people of Mukilteo are aroused
over the Jap situation and will turn out
en-masse to the meeting tomorrow
night. The speakers of the evening have
not been announced but take it from

they are given the platform.
The president and secretary of the
club are confident that their eforts will
be successful. They regard the work
already done as only a preliminary
skirmish to the real battle If the petit

plish results other means will be tried.
The women are hopeful, however, the

how unanimous the sentiment is on the
question among all classes of citizens.
The Journal and its readers sympa-

community and will do anything legi-
innate to help them in their campaign.

LIVING COST RISES FAST.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4-The lowest
amount on which family can live in
simplest decency in New York is $3.50
a year, according to the estimates of
special committee from the Federated
Labor Unions which have been investi-
eating the increased cost of living. This
the report says, is an increase of 800
in two years. 1t costs a fifth more to
live in the metropolis, the investigators
add, than in large cities of the Middle

Bryan Petitions
Are Numerous
Reagan Returns from Trip in the
State and Sees Many Being
Circulated.

Chairman John e. Reagan of the Doug
las county democratic committee has re-
turned from week spent on legal bust
ness at Seward, York and Grand Island.
He said he found sentiment for Dahlman is
growing.
"At York l met a man who is in charge
of the circulation Of Bryan petitions in
that judicial district" said Mr.. Reagan
He insisted they are going to make Mi
B1yan run for the senate, and 1 am con-
WINGED the result of the petitions in circu-
IatIon will be to put Bryan in the senatorial
race. 1t is incomprehensible to me that
these petitions should be in circulation,
with at least the taclt consent of Mr..
Bryan's brother and manager unless an I'M
derstanding of some sort existed with
BRYAN himself before his departure for
Europe. On his return he will be presented
with a stack of petitions as high as a
fable. with 5000 or more names on them,
naybe $4,000, since understand republicans
are not barred from signing If they are
BRYAN men. In my judgment, those petit
tions, presented in that way, will settle
Mr.. Bryan's candidacy. 1t does not seem
possible he will turn them down."

Property at Fifteenth and Dodge
Passes from Midland Realty COM
pRhy TO McCagues for sOme-
thing over s25O,OOO.

The McCague building on the northwest
corner OF Fifteenth and Dodge streets has
changed hands, having been sold to the
McCague Investment company By the Mid
land Realty company Of Boston at price
said to be something in excess of $3.50 600
The McCague company and ID. v. Sholes
conducted the transaction together and
are supposed to have been acting for the
Omaha Loan and Building associat ton,
now located at Sixteenth and Douglas
streets.
The Boston end OF the transaction was
conducted by Thomas II. McCague, who
has just returned from there, where, after
two weeks negotiations he succeeded in
closing the deal by making a large cash
payment.
The MoCague building was built in 1890
and cost, at that time, about $4,000. The
lot today is valued at about 100000. The
building was constructed for banking pur-
poses. The banking room contains a large
steel vault which cost Sl1,OOO. The building
is six stories and is what is called slow
burning fire construction all the parti-
instead of frame.
Neither Mr.. McCague or Mr. Sholes would
disclose the purchase price at this time,
the deal not being finally consummated
until the latter part of July. They init
mated, however, that the property was pur-
chased at an exceptional bargain.
