NE " UNION ASKED FOR.
1t Is Designed to Include Builders of
Autos and AeropIanes.

st. Louis, Nov. 18.-Aeroplane build
ing is recognized as a new branch of
American industry in a resolution pre-
sented to the convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. The Carriage
and Wagon Workers International
Union OF North America, in a petition
to the federation, set forth the decline
of the carriage and wagon building in
dustry and stated that it was due TO
the automobile and the aeroplane.
The members therefore asked that
their charter be broadened to include
the trades engaged in building those
new agencies of transportation. The
new name which the union desires is
the Carriage. Wagon, Automobile and
Aeroplane workers International Unior
of North America. The petition was
referred to a committee.
Other resolutions which have been
presented to the committee and which
are causing discussion among the dele
gates are those proposing old age pen
| sion measures and opposing increased
freight rates. The pension proposal is
| that congress shall be asked by the
federation to enact laws providing for
pensions for married workers over 60
years of age who are without means
and out of employment. The amount
| suggested is $50 a month. The rate
| resolution sets forth that the roads are
now making large dividends and calls
for the appointment of a committee OF
five to investigate and set the matter
before the public.
Ben Turner said the British indus
trial situation was fraught with evils
| most of them copied from America.
Capitalism and trusts" he said.
"are the chief of these. Employers
are constituencies and remorseless,
consumed by a rage for gold"

posed club house and has in mind
a series of novel ways of swelling the
building fund. North Yakima has a
large number of pretty babies and
has not had a baby show for several
years. Club members who have ba-
bies of suitable age will enter them
as a refutation to the frequently
heard criticism of club women that
they neglect home and its duties. 1t
is expected that all the beautiful
girls and handsome boys of the COM
ing generation will be on show.
The club last year had number
of cake sales at a down town store,
which brought in good returns, since
many of the members are famous
cooks. This year the dues have been
increased to IS and the mmbrship
limit to 100, so that the addition to
the treasury from dues alone will be
considerable. A committee has held
frequent meetings during the club va
cation, making plans for the years
work along financial lines. Two lots
on Capitol Hill were purchased some
time ago and it is the present inten-
ton to erect the club house thereon.

WILL MAKE A LIST
> OF VACANT ROOMS
Commercial Club Will Ascertain
Those Available for Use by
Patrons of the State Fair.

Registration Of rooms available for
state fair visitors to North Yakima
is to be made by the Commercial club.
Recognizing that the housing capacity
of the city will be taxed to the ut
most, this fall, if the attendance at
the fair IS at all commensurate with
that Of other seasons the club manage
ment has taken over the matter of
making a registration of the available
rooms. This is work that it has done
before and with great benefit to fair
patrons. AS matters are now the city
is giving sleeping accommodations to
as many visitors as can be care for
in the rooms regularly set aside for
that purpose. For the fair an extra
effort will of necessity be made and
1t Is that phase with which the Com
mercial club will deal. A man will
be given charge of the work and will
begin operations Monday.
Various Fruit Exhibits.
There is an increasing activity, also.
among the club members. with regard
to the various fruit exhibits in which
the North Yakima district will partici-
pate this fall. Messrs. H. M. Gilbert.
W. n. Irish and Fred Thompson are
the members of the committee which
is looking after the exhibits. At best,
however their time will be largely
taken up with the carload lots and
the matter of making the box and
plate exhibits a success is largely up
to the growers. 1t is the aggregate of
these exhibits and the prizes won
therefrom which to some measure de-
termine the standing of the commune
ty as a fruit producing section. 1t is
hoped therefore, that growers will take
an interest, for the sake of the valley,
and set aside likely loking specimens.
These can be placed in storage and
used to good advantage later. Those
who are unable to attend to this work
personally may telephone to some
member of the committee or to the
Commercial club and the exhibits will
be looked after.

Presbyterian Deacon and Baptist
Minister Aaid In Slaughter
of Game.

The fondness of ministers for fowl
meat has been the salvation of many
a starving jokester, but it is not often
that protest is received that a
Presbyterian deacon and a Baptist
preacher are collaborating in shoot
ing game birds out of season and
without license. More often it is,
"Sit right up, brother, and have a
second helping" and so might it be.
But a communication from Wap-
at to The Herald recites among
other things that such is the condi-
ton there. The complaint also says
that the game birds, imported at pub
lie expense, are being slaughtered
without opposition on the part of au-
thorites. The law-abiding citizen
justly protests against his laXity, and
says he sees no reason why everyone
who could get hold of a gun should
not begin shooting all the birds he
can bag, if some are allowed to, in
which case the game would be re-
moved and there would be no fur
