Federation of Labor was a welcome visi-
tor and addressed the council Brother
Case was in attendance as delegate
upon the State Grange convention at
count of the session. He declared that
the growth of fraternal feeling between
the grange and organized labor was re
markable and that still more friendly re-
ations would result from the convention
just closed. He dwet at length on the
two measures passed at Olympia in
which labor was most interested, i. e.
the workmen's compensation and the
women's eight hour bill, and stated that
farmers and wage workers worked in
complete accord during the legislative
session. The remarks of Brother Case
were listened to with great interest by
the delegates and their only regret rs
that they cannot be privileged to listen
to him more often.

made to organize them until after the

stated on strike their places must be
filled before other departments can be
kept at work.

There may be snaps in executive po-
sitions but the office of president of the
United Mine Workers of America is not
one of them. From first to last that
executive must pit his brain and his
personality not only against the mine
operators but against powerful faction
in his own organization that is planning
for his downfall. At least that was the
experience of Tom Lewis, who was re-
Gently defeated for election. Lewis
came to the presidency after a bitter
contest, defeating the candidate of John
Mitchell. Mitchell had retired at the
zenith of his power and popularity as
far as the general labor movement was
concerned. 1t was no boys task to step
into Mitchell's shoes and many predicted
that the Mine Workers organization
would suffer retroaetion. They were
mistaken. Under the presidency of
Lewis the organization steadily ad-
vanced. The faction opposed to Lewis
never ceased fighting him and he fought
back He has a dominating personality
and an adamantine will He probably
fought the opposing faction just as bit
terly as it fought him, and his methods
We're possibly not all of the Sunday
school brand. He was accused of be-
traying the best interests of the min
ers in some districts by attempting to
make contracts with employers unad
vantageous to the miners. They got him,
finally. This was his answer to his
enemies in the labor movement: when

toll with my fellows" And he went
From morning till night he is working
today in the CRIME and danger of the
coal pit. He didn't have to. The lee,
sure platform or the editorial pen
awaited him; high salaried positions
with corporations We're his for the ask
ing. But he chose to go back to the
aVocation from which his fellows had |
called him years ago. In that act he
showed his greatness, Not many labor
leaders have the inclination nor courage |
to de- what Tom Lewis has done. Lewis
has made executive mistakes, undoubt
eddy; he has probably needlessly antag-
ognized men. But in no sense of the
word has he ben false to the cause of |
labor. Traitors are not made of his kind
of stuff. Tom Lewis, president Of the
Mine Workers, was a big man; Tom
Lewis, simple miner is a bigger one.

Every time the closet of your neigh
Dor is opened little do you strain your
neck to peek, and then afterward strain
your tongue in talking about it? Do
you ever stop to think that some day a
tragedy may take up its abode in your
home? Can't you get it into your head
that some day the tongue of Islander may
cut you like a sharp sword and the
whispers of your neighbors be as vine
gar on your woundsY Misfortune and
disgrace may have overtaken your neigh
Dor, but it does not become you to get
on the housetops and shout it out to the
world. You will not be called upon to
of your neghbors. You have all you
can tend to to pay for your own indis-
cretions. Some day one near and dear
to you may fall-the prison walls may
open to a son or the scarlet letter of
eternity blight a daughter. When a
home is in mourning over a tragedy the
best thing you can do is to keep your
mouth shut unless you can say some
thing that will come as a rift in the
clouds. Then again, you know you may
be no better than your neighbor. The
only difference is that your neighbor
was caught and you, up to date, have
kept the sunlight away. Be charitable,
my friend, for you know not the day
nor the hour when the blight will APP
pear in your sacred circle.

This is graduation month. In Everett
as in every city in the land, high spirited
boys and girls are bidding goodbye for
ever to the recitation room, the study
desk the instructor, and soon the many
of school life will be but
memory. High ideals fill the minds of
the graduates as they listen for the last
time to the words of advice from those
who have guided them through the form
ative period of character. They see the
same visions of success, breathe the same
air of self reliance, as generation after
generation of boys and girls have done
before them. May we offer to these
young men and women standing on the
threshold of a larger world, few trite
homilies? Do not let your diplomas
make fools of you. Do not imagine that
because you are educated that it will be
degrading for you to engage in any of
the useful avocations of life. Education
is good thing An educated farmer
ought to be a better farmer than one
without education. An educated car
penter ought to be better mechanic
than one not educated. Education, how
ever, without practical, everyday com
mon sense does not accomplish much.
Education that fills its possessor with a
false pride, that leads him to elevate his
collegiate nose to all labor outside the
professions, is poor stock in trade. Edu-
cation is just as honorable in its shirt
sleeves, working at some of the useful
trades, as it is in broadcloth, pounding
in pulpit or sitting in a lawyers office.
When you get over the threshold OF
life" and out on "the ocean of time" YOU
will find unless you labor perseveringly,
you will be crowded out of the process
sion by some hustling, practical, hard
working fellow who never saw the in
side of college building. 1t is true
manhood, sterling integrity indomitable
pluck, and hard work, and not diploma
Latin, that makes the wheels 60 round
and the world move.

ANOTHER INJUNCTION SPASM.
Labor Speakers Enjoined From Speaking
in an Amusement Park at Altoona,
Pa TO Railroad EMPLOYEES

Washington, June l5.-Arrangements
had been completed in Altoona, Pa, for
mass meeting to be held in one of the
public amusement parks on Sunday, June
d. The meeting was arranged for the
purpose of listening to prominent speak
ers in the labor movement, and the en-
ployes in the shops of the Pennsylvania
Railroad company had been invited to
attend. The railroad company has many
ramifications and upon the information
reaching the company that a meeting
was to be held in the amusement park
they procured an old lady who was a
part owner in the park to sue out an in
junction against the lessees of the park
prohibiting the lessees from permitting
the meeting to be held, stating in the
injunction that the park was only to be
used for "moral amusement. 1t was
apparently expected that the injunction
would be violated and the meeting held.
1t was decided, however, to change the
meeting place to piece of ground on
the side of hill, the property being
owned by those who were sympathetic
toward the labor organizations. An at
tempt was then made to bring pressure
to bear against those who owned the lat
ter piece of property to also forbid the
meeting, but their pleas were unavail-
ing. The meeting was held on Sunday
per schedule and there were present some
5000 in the audience. Secretary Morri-
son, Raymond Robbins and Frank Mill
holland were the speakers. That night
there had been another meeting sched-
uled to take place near one of the hotels
in Altoona and just prior to calling the
meeting to order the mayor telephoned
to Secretary Morrison stating that the
ministers of the city had protested
against labor meeting being held ON
Sunday. Mr.. Morrison replied that labor
sermons would be preached and that
offense to any of the ministers in the
city, and upon this statement the mayer
withdrew his objections and the meeting
was held. 1t is rather an amusing incr-
dent that an injunction should be issued
against holding public meeting in an
amusement park-a place where meet
ings of this character are usually held,
and demonstrates the lengths to which
employers of labor will go in endeavor-
ing to Illustrate any movement looking
toward the organization of men who
work for wages. Present indications are
to the effect that the strike of the men
on the Pennsylvania railway system is
becoming more and more effective as
time goes on.

fund to be used in defense Of these men
and to defeat the merciless ends OF the

but talking won't raise it. Every local
union in the city Of Everett should i'm
mediately assess its working members
for this urgent cause and forward the
money now when it is most needed.

Lands.
Attention is hereby called to chapter
SO of the Laws of 1911, which changes
the boundaries of tideands of the second
class and provides for the sale of addi-
tional lands in front of second class tide
lands heretofore sold
The supreme court having held that
under the law formerly in force the out
ward boundary of such tidelands was
the line of mean low tide, the above
named act was passed by the last legis
lature to extend such boundary to the
line of extreme low tide. Until June 6,
1911, the present owners of second class
tidclands sold prior to March 8, 1911,
have the preference. right to purchase
the additional strip lying between the
lines of mean low and extreme low tide
in front of their second class tidelands.
Applications to purchase under such
right should be mailed to the undersigned
in time to be received before June 6,
1911, and should be accompanied by
remittance of one dollar per lineal chain,
according to the frontage of the second
class tideands heretofore sold, and the
further sum of $500 in payment of the
fee for deed. After said date, the owner
will have no preference right to pur-
chase the additional adjoining tidelauds,
and the same will be sold to the highest
bidder at public auction.
The law does not direct or require the
commissioner of public lands to give any
notice of such preference right, but this
notice is published in order that all per-
sons having said right may be made
acquainted with the same and given an
opportunity to protect their waterfront;
and its publication is also prompted by
the fact that private persons, in no way
connected with this department, have
represented that for fee they will give
information as to right said to have
been discovered by examination of the
records in this office. No adverse criti
cism of this department should arise
from such fact, as the office is under
no obligation to give this or any other
notice of the matter, and has no control
over those who have advertised the same
for profit.

LABOR WINS VICTORY.
Supreme Courts Decision Frees Com
pers and Associates.


Organized labor won n great victory
when the United States supreme court
held that three OF It's most noted lead
ers shall not be required to serve jail
sentences for contempt of court
Setting aside the sentences of i'm
prisonment imposed by the supreme
court of the District of Columbia for
alleged dlsobedience TO II boycott in
junction. the supreme court OF the
United States held that Samuel Com
pers, John Mitchell and Frank Morri-
son. president. vice president and sec
rotary. respectively. of the American
Federation of Labor. had been CHROME
ously sentenced to Jail on charge OF
contempt of local court.
The basis of the courts opinion was
that the proceeding against the labor
officers was for civil contempt. which
could be punished only by the impoSi
ton of fine The sentence of the
lower court to Imprisonment was the
penalty for criminal contempt. ana
therefore 1t was not n legal punish
ment.
Justice Wright found them guilty
and sentenced Gompers to one year In
Jail, Mitchell to nine months and Nor
rison to six months. An appeal was
taken from this sentence. first TO the
court Of appeals. which affirmed it. and
finally to the supreme court of the
United ST. tes.
Commenting on the decision. MIR
Gompers said: 81 think it has been not
only my opinion. but it has been the
consensus of opinion, that he sentences
imposed by Justice Wright of six. nine
and twelve months for Mr.. Morrison
Mr.. Mitchell and myself, respectively,
were unju.tifiable. unusual and cruel,
particularly in an alleged constructive
contempt; that his language was in
temperate and unjudicial."
