ANOTHER
PIPE DREAM
Ex-Attorney Justica Like
the Babbling Brook
Runs on Forever.

Justica broke into print again Tues
day morning with TRADE of abuse
against the union movement of Everett
in general and the editor of The Jour
nal in particular. He took apparently
particular pains to search the vocabu-
larry for epithets to apply to the writer
We presume he feels a good deal like
the man wh0 after exhausting the
English language in abusing an enemy
of his, said, "If there's anything I've
forgot, you're that, too" If Justica
had any weight or influence whatever
in the community, we might feel like
answering him further, but as it is,
what's the use? The Journal editor
has something else to do beside kick
at every measly eur that snaps at his
heels. For the further edification of
"Justica," we might add that the "de
funct Trades Council" will meet in the
Labor Temple this week the same as
usual.

such profits ought to be sufficient and
satisfactory to them.
If the United States government es-
tablished parcel post with moderate
rates, the post office department might
be great money making institution.
Or, if that were not desirable all rates
could be lowered ana the public greatly
benefited
The parcels post is needed. Most of
the great European countries have this
service. 1t is necessity for trade and
for the convenience of the private citi-
zen. Yet every time the matter comes
up in congress it is mysteriously sup
pressed. Let us illustrate: A friend of
ours wished to see consular report
from Germany on the parcels post of
that country. He had been privately
informed that it was to be issued. It
did not appear. Finally, however, a
proof from the government printing Of
flee was seen and on 1t were these
words: "Withheld at the request of
Senator Platt." Mr.. Platt was at the
time senator from New York and presi-
dent of the United States Express Com
pany.
It seems clear that in the first place
the rate to periodicals is not sub
sity, and that whatever deficit there Is
ON that score is saving by so much
to the consumer-the reader and the
subscriber. Il is also clear that the man
agement of the post office department
needs thorough renovation, and that,
with the most reasonable and ordinary
business principles, the department can
be of still greater service to the people,
and If you wish, hand over a surplus to
the treasury

WEAVERS
TO RUN Mill
Shingle Weav-
ers Lease Plant Owned
By Senator Smith.

Several of the shingle weavers ol
Marysvile have come to the conclusion
that the best way to insure steady EN-
ployment at the business is to operate
a mill themselves, and with that enc
in view have concluded ten months
lease on the mill owned by Sen. Smith
of Marysville This plant contains sew
en- upright machines and will furnish
work to twenty four men all told, ev-
eryone of whom will be financially in
terested in the plant. The articles OF
agreement are something unique in q
way and are calculated to promote har.
mony of interest among the men. The
company, which will be known as the
Home Shingle Co., will start business
with paidup capital of $500 and at
no time will it be allowed to fall below
that figure. Each man will receive the
union scale of wages but should there
be deficit in any months business
the wages of the men will be assessed
enough to bring the reserve fund back
to $500. The officers of the company
will manage the business without in
reference from any of the crew. Regu-
lar meetings of the stockholders will
be held where each stockholder will
have voice and vote.
If at any time during the life of the
lease the owner should wish to sell the
plant he agrees to give thirty days
notice to the new company and make
them safe from loss. At the expiration
of the lease the boys receive the first
chance to buy the plant.
Dan Noonan, president: George Nor
rson, secretary; Henry Hadenfeldt,
treasurer, make up the first official
personnel of the company. Brothers
Noonan and Morrison were in the city
Tuesday completing details of organiza-
tion ana in conversation with Jour
nal reporter, said:
"We expect to be ready to begin cut
ting operations next Monday morning
and intend to operate the mill steadily
throughout the year. The boys have
talked this all over and have gone
equally into the business, some of them
making sacrifices to raise the necessary
capital. We are nearly all old residents
of Marysville and have worked for Sen.
Smith for years and we are confident
of making success of our new venture.
The main thing with us is getting steady
work every day in the year, although
we hope to declare good dividends, too.
Mr.. Smith has made us a very liberal
proposition and we don't know of many
mill owners who would have come to us
voluntarily and made us such liberal
proposition
The venture will be watched with in
terest by shingle weavers throughout
the state and it is not unlikely that
weavers in other localities will go into
business along. the same lines. The
great majority of weavers who have
gone into the shingle business have
made good, because they possessed a
practical knowledge of the business.
The cooperative plan has not always
proven success, however, generally be-
cause of conflict of authority or lack
of harmony between the weavers. The
new company expects to eliminate that
from the outset and if they are sue
cessful they will point the way for
other weavers to ego and do likewise y

CAFETERIA DE-
STROYED BY FIRE
Contents of Building Almost Total
LOss--Firemen Work Hard

The cafeteria. on Sherman street.
which has been pride to this city
since Its opening a few weeks ago.
and which was to say the least
among the finest places OF its kind
In the Inland Empire, today is
a mass OF ruins as the result OF the
bad fire which swept the contents OF
the building this morning shortly af-
ter o'clock.
1t was but few minutes after
the alarm was sounded before the
firemen were on the scene. but they
met with great dificulty inasmuch
as the flames were under the floor,
the fire having originated in the
basement in the rear part OF the
building.
The origin of the fire is not
known. Mrs. Sabln and Mr.. Cam
eron were at the place as usual untif
9 o'clock, when they made ready for
the closing in the usual manner,
fixing the furnace fire in the base
ment and also In the large range in
the cooking department on the main
floor, in a safe manner. and the in
vestigation proves that the fire did
not start from either of these places,
but rather gives the locality as being
in the large pile of wood some dis
lance from the furnace in the base
ment and near the coal chute lead
ing from the outside of the build
ing in the alley.
Everything on the interior was
completely destroyed by the fire
and water with the exception OF the
two show cases at the front part
of the room, and the loss will reach
more than was at first believed
but is covered by insurance.
The building Is owned by ex
Mayor Scallon and the loss to hin
will reach fully $500. Mr.. Scallor
was so unfortunate as to not have
insurance on the building. but h
will begin the repairs as soon as tn,
adjustment is made on the Othe
loss and put 1t in the same condition
as before.
The flremen worked hard from
$3.50 until after clock this morn
ing before they got the fire unde
control, and they say that 1t was tn
most stubborn fire that they hay
battled in their experience in tn
city. on account of its being unde
the floor, and in the basement, an
tn -ir inability to reach it. Throug
their untiring efforts the structul
was saved and probably the grea
er part of that block.
The proprietors VI the cafeteri
are not certain as yet as to wheth'
they will reopen. but in all prob
bility they will. as they were doir
very satisfactory business.
