advanced TO the front of the platform
and delivered IN Yiddish an appeal TO
those OF her race TO strike Immediately.
More than 1000 right hands went up
In response. The sentiment for an i'm
mediate and wholesale strike spread to
the Italian and American shirt waist
makers. and the walk out" OF seven
eighths of those employed in hat In

Under the system against which the
strikers protest the girls, most OF them
iI.der twenty-five years OF age and
many under twenty, some of them
mere children, were compelled to work
several hours overtime four nights
week, with no time off for supper. On
Sundays in many Of the factories at

day and far into the night at perilous
physical strain.
Most OF the labor is paid for by the
piece. The girls are not asking higher
pay for piecework. but merely a read
justment as to working hours so that
they will not be worked beyond their
endurance. Another grievance is that
frequently when they reported for
work In the morning the bosses insist

What do the girls who make the
shirt waists worn by women all over
America earn? Some OF the. younger
and less experienced ones make only
$3.50 to 81 per week Others earn as
high as SIS a week The average
seems to be somewhere between IS and
$40 Thousands of them support not
only themselves, but sick or disabled
parents and several little brothers and

to point out the fact that the automo-

champion said today. And l don't
care how soon the date is fixed, for

Kaufman has been going around the

as soon as he (Kauflhan) acquired
little more experience he would
take the title away from me.

TRAIN PATCAER
At TYE
Orders Come From Summit
Now ,Obviating Much
Wire Trouble.

In order to facilitate train dis
patching over the Cascade mountain
division, the Great Northern has sta
toned three dispatchers and a chief
dispatcher at Tye. where the COM
pany has erected several four-room
cottages for the use Of telegraphers
and their families.
Heretofore all wire orders were
sent from Supt. O'Neill's Office in
Everett, but winter storms cause
considerable wire trouble between
the summit and Everett, resulting
not infrequently, In disrupted sched-
ules.
Six feet of snow on level lies
upon the ground just east of Cascade
tunnel while three feet has fallen
in the vicinity of Tye. This snow
fall is unusually light for the last
of December. No trouble has as yet
been experienced this winter in the
operation of trains.

Everett. Dec. Glowing to a di-
vision of sentiment regarding the
proposed campaign to seek the re-
moval of the capital from Olympia
to Everett. for there are business
men in this city who object TO this
plan, the directors of the Everett
Business Mems association this morn
ing decided to call special session
of the association to take vote of
the entire membership.
Directors Favor Plan.
A discussion of the merits and de-
merits of the capital removal pro-
ject was held by the directors, and
a majority stood in favor of getting
the capital if possible. The sole OBJ
lection offered is that cities where
capitol buildings are located are usu-
ally retarded in growth. This argu
ment. however, is secuted by many
business men here. who assert that,
being a seaport city of considerable
size and Importance and one of the
chief manufacturing points in the
northwest, Everett need entertain no
fear of being held back in the event
she gets the capital.
Wait on Falconer.
The date on which this special
meeting is to be held hinges entirely
upon the ability of the Everett Bust
ness Mems association to arrange
with Senator A. J. Falconer, now in
Olympia. The senator is strongly in
favor of making a spirited campaign
for the capital, and he believes its
removal from Olympia could be
brought about.
