BLOW TO HOTEL OWNERS
Prayer For Injunction Against Striking Members of
Cooks Walters and Mattresses Union Is Denied

The application was an outcome OF
the successful fight the union has been
waging against the employers associa-
ton. Organized labor has been getting
it in the neck from the courts with such
painful regularity of late years that il
is rather an innovation to score. The
following brief statement of the courts

that the strikers unquestionably had

MAIN ISSUE
OF CAMPAIGN
Will be Direct Legislation,
Declares the Ex Board
of State Federation of
Labor at Seattle Meeting
Will Pledge all Legis-
lative Candidates.

The executive board of the State Fed
Grafton of Labor met in the Labor Tenn
pie at Seattle last Sunday and disposed
of many matters of importance to or
ganiZed labor in this state Perhaps the
most important was the consideration
of what measures of legislation should
be put up to the candidates for the leg
islature in the various districts. 1t has
been the custom OF the legislative com
mttee of the federation to select three
or four prominent measures of labor
legislation and endcavOr to pledge the
feeling has been growing among promi-
nent labor leaders and among the rank
and file as well that the surest way to
obtain remedial legislation for wage
workers of a lasting character was to
hasten the passage of an amendment
to the state constitution granting the
people. Organized labor Is not AFRAID
to submit its wants to the voters of the
state and is willing to abide by the
decision of the majority expressed at
the polls. 1t was decided by the board
that all of the efforts of its members
would be centered on this piece of leg
islation and a pledge will be asked of
each legislative candidate to support the
submission of constitutional amend
ment calling for the initiative, referen-
dun and recall.
The matter of the formation of a
state labor party was laid upon the TIA
BILE Letters had been previously sent
out to the affiliated unions of the state
asking how many of them would send
delegates to a state convention to draw
and of all the unions interviewed on the
subject the merest handful replied in
the affirmative. In view of the ex-
pressed sentiment on the Labor party
formation the only thing to do was to
drop it for this year at least.
President Case was selected to attend
the meeting to be held in Tacoma by
manufacturing and employing interests
and labor representatives to consider
the subject of employers liability.
There is no question of more vital i'm
portance to labor and President Case
with his intimate knowledge Of the
needs of legislation along the lines of
compensation for injuries is amply able
to determine whether the remedy pro
posed by the manufacturing interests Is

The standpat candidates for the Unit
ed States senate will find but little so
lace from the reports received from the
different quarters of the state on the
senatorial situation. While the talk on
the subject was purely informal it de-
velhped the fact that the PoindeNter
sentiment was very strong throughout
the state among both wageworkers and
farmers. Congressman PoindeNter's 5
attitude of friendliness toward labor
legislation in congress has created a
friendly feeling among the wage work
ers to his candidacy.

HOW ABOUT MORE PARKS?

We noticed, while coming through the
CITY Park Sunday about noon, several
family parties that had fled from the
blistering heat to the only cool spot in
the city. Under the shade of the trees
they were defying the heat of Old Sol
and We're enjoying their Sunday dinner.
The park was full of people in summer
attire lounging or walking about the
park and enjoying to the full its rest
full shade. All of which started a trend
of thought in the reporters mind, viz;
How badly Everett needs parks. Not
hurly -burly affairs where the popping
of corks and the sounds of the dancers
feet are the chief forms of entertain,
ment after considerable expenditure of
money and patience to reach Tim, but
little restful places Just like the present
city park. We ought to have half
dozen of them scattered over the PENN
sula within easy walking distance
There is perhaps no better investment
for any city than these little GASES in
the desert of brick and pavement. The
happiness of its people is city's chief
asset. Everett should heed before land
reaches prohibitive price. Many
cities have had to tear down blocks OF
buildings, buying the sites at ruinous
prices. to make room for parks and pub
lie Fairgrounds. A normal city must
have room for its people TO get away
once a week or on summer evenings
from the noise and heat or something
goes wrong with the delicate machinery
of city's life.

10000 CLOAK MAKERS STRIKE.

NEW YORK. July 22.-Seventy-five
thousand cloak makers, lone-third OF
whom are women. are ont on strike in
Greater New York and vicinity.
The strikers demand an eight hour
day. an increase in wages. and a guar
antee that employers shall be respon-
sible for the wages of men hired by
out side contractors Abolition of sub
contracting within factories, is also de-
manded.
This strike is the largest in the his
tory of the clothing industry, if not
the largest in single trade that the
Metropolis has ever seen Over 1000
shops are involved, and 125 halls are
required to hold strike ,neetings.

approaching strike breakers was such
as to cause them to leave their work
through fear or whether it left them
free to do as they pleased, and he held
that, under the evidence as applying to
the four defendants, no illegal act had
been committed He cited the instance
of a waitress in the Model Bakers who
was approached by Bessie Shaw, and
held that the striker had a perfect right
to talk to the waitress and, in fact, was
not denied a hearing by the woman.
Miss Shaw's acts, he said, did not war
rant an injunction being issued against
her.
Cards Are Proper.
The court also made an important
ruling on the matter of the circulation
of the cards bearing the names of union
and non-union houses, and held that
there was nothing in these cards which
brought them within the law. That
they contain the truth was not denied
in the evidence, and the court held that
there is certain amount of good will
attached to union house. and the pub
lie generally has right to know which
houses are union and which are not.
He also upheld the cards on const-
they were libelous the plaintiffs had
recourses through the criminal courts
If they were scandalous the remedy was
through civil suit, the ability of the
offender to pay having nothing to do
with the matter
No Conspiracy Found.
The court held there was no evidence
of Il conspiracy OH the part of the four
defendants to ruin the restaurant men
through any unlawful acts and the tes-
timony failed to involve them with any
thing unlawful.
1t was also held that there was no
evidence of the four defendants having
been doing picket duty, nor was there
an active boycott shown.
The court expressed the opinion that
picketing, as it is known in labor bat
ties, may properly be enioined, and
stated that had the evidence disclosed
that the defendants had been picketing
restaurants he would have issued an in,
junction.
The decision of Judge Webster was
clear cut. He fully amplfed his de
cision by illustration from time to time.
The opinion was handed down i'm
medately following the closing argu-
ment of Attorney Samuel II. Stern, who
appeared for the restaurant men.
