part OF the unions. About the same
time complaint was made of Ben
nett's restaurant to policeman on
the beat, but the police officer re-
fused to take action.
Investigation showed that the
trouble complained of consisted
merely of a few business agents
of other unions stationed near the
restaurants to watch for members
that might be inclined to patronize
the nonunion restaurants. These
union representatives are stationed
at either side of the restaurants
and not in front and whenever they
see one of their members or a citi-
zen whom they think might be inn
pressed, they are reminded III the
fact that the house is nonunion.
The signing up of the Little
Brick restaurant next door to the
Minute Lunch, has given the union
forces a lever to fight the Minute
Lunch and Benefits, the two res
taurants next door, remaining out
of the union. There was some eX-
element around there today during
the noon hour, but everything
passed away quietly.
The striking cooks and walters
and Mattresses feel more hopeful
now. They say that the tide has
turned in their favor.

than it is with the quality and price
paid by the people.
Said Head Milk Inspector Rein
wald today: II returned only two
or three days ago from an inspec-
ton of the dairies, and this trouble
at the Crittenton home came up in
my absence. My deputy, Mr.. Web
ster, was supposed to be looking
after the matter in my absence.
With the manager of the Broad
view dairy, that has been delivering
the milk to the home, | went there
this morning and We arrived at the
conclusion that the milk did not
cause the trouble"
MISS NElMANN SAYS 1T is THE
MILK.
According to reports today from
Miss Elizabeth Neimann. superin-
tendent of the Florence Crittenton
home, eight babies are still i'll. They
are all much improved, however,
and are comparatively out of dan
ger.
Il wish it to be understood. said
Miss Neimann, that | am not max
ing these statements against any
one dairy. The same thing may
have happened had | obtained milk
from any other dairy, but | merely
stated facts. All the babies which
We're afflicted and died were babies
under one year of age and were fed
upon nothing but milk.
"The death of all these childre
n and the suffering of the others
has been a great worry and care as
well as expense to me-" continued
Miss Neimann, 'and | felt in max
ing the statement that | was only
doing right in protecting the other
children intrusted to my care and in
saving other babies outside from
the possibilities of undergoing the
same experience.
DIR. Frank Rose Of the health
board made an inspection of the
milk and reported that no impuri-
ties were found I would not argue
the question. Some reference was
made, however, to the fact that the
trouble might be due to improper
handling of the milk after it had
been received. While impurities of
the milk cannot be detected unless
thoroughly analysed, I wish to
make the statement that my assist
ant and myself are both nurses and
are very particular in the handling
of the milk.
LAS I said before. | am not con
demning any one dairy. but in order
to be on the safe side. will for the
time being use only matted milk"

SEATTLE, Wash, June A.
Labor unionists may well take off
their hats to the Seattle Mattresses
union, with especial attention to
Miss Alice Lord business agent.
Miss Lord conceived and is carry
ing out the first building enterprise
undertaken by labor union women
in the United States. She is the
spirit of movement to build
home for girls who are sick or out
of work.
Miss Lords duties bring her into
contact with girls who are homeless
and friendless. Some are hundreds
of miles from home and when fac
ing adversely have no place to turn.
I'VE must have a home for the
girls declared Miss Lord, and
started the Mattresses home prof.
ect. No appeal has been made for
funds. A cafeteria man loaned"
one Of his places to the girls every
Sunday for month. The girls op-
crate the place and pocket the
money.

ALLEGES THAT PROMINENT
PEOPLE WANT TO DRIVE
HER TOTS INTO THE
STREET.

Mrs. NJ. l.. Dey, superintendent of
the Orphans Home of Spokane, in
an interview today, charges that
she is the victim of a conspiracy
to put her home out of business.
She charges that the people who
are after her have been on her trail
for nearly a year; that they await
every opening to land on her and
that the impression that this op.
portunity was afforded in the case
of donation recently made to the
home by the Greenough Bros store

against her in a morning paper.

George w. Fuller and the Rev. Clar-
ence o. Kimball have been trying

a big fight on their hands.

ing her with disorderly conduct.
Little did Mrs. Williston think,
perhaps, that she would have to ex-
plain why she has been living in
one of the keegan apartments with
Eddie Maloney, the little boy" as
she calls him, but who actually has
several insipient bristles on his
chin. She was forced to admit that
her husband is in Tacoma and that
she has not seen him for a year;
that she had had Eddie Maloney,
the little boy as a boarder for
three months at the keegan.
Mrs. keegan told how her accus-
err had slapped her "r-r-right in the
fa-a-ce" and had torn her gown and
how she had laughed at the idea of
calling the police, saying she had a
stand in with them.
Miss Corina Keegan, age Is, told
how the frenzied roomer had torn
her dress and slapped her face and
throwed the telephone receiver at
her mother, striking her in the
back.

know about all the police on the de-
partment She called up Captain
