Secretary Chatterton of the Y. M. G.
A. has been in correspondence with the
members of the Industrial Insurance
commission with the object in view of
procuring one of the board for public
address in this city. Mr.. Chatterton in
forms the Journal that one of the COM
mission will speak at an early date in
the high school auditorium on the sub
ject of "Workmen's Compensation"
The Washington law is conceded to be
the most advanced piece of legislation
along the line of accident insurance
ever enacted and the working out of
the law is being watched with interest.
1t is doubtful if many people are very
conversant with the various features of
the act and workingmen, particularly
those engaged in hazardous pursuits,
should welcome the opportunity to hear
one of the men whose business it is to
apply the law, discuss it. Watch the
daily papers for the exact date of the
address in the high school auditorium.

LADIES WILL
FEED GUESTS
OLD-TIME BASKET SOCIAL ON
TAP NEXT MONDAY EVEN
ING-HANDSOME SUM WAS
REALIZED FROM THE ROSE
THEATER-PLAN TO VISIT
SISTER LEAGUE.

The Women's Label League is moth
ing if not versatile. Something new all
the time, some new surprise in store for
the members. Next Monday evening
the ladies are going to conduct real,
old-fashioned basket social-the kind
you used to attend in your kid days.
Listen. The ladies are going to bring
baskets filled with real home cooking
chicken, perhaps, if you're lucky. A
lady auctioneer will coax the sheckels
out of your pockets, but we have it
from her own lips that there will be a
limit to the game. In short, embryo
millionaires are not going to be allowed
to bid baskets up to fictitious value
as the auctioneer (ess) will call limit.
You fellows can all get in the game.
But say, bubbles. we are reliably in
formed that any man that bids in a
basket, and it turns out to be the handi-
work of the wife of his bosom, will be
disqualified and will have to bid in an
other basket. So it won't do you bit
of good to pry into wifey's cooking
preparations.
The evenings merrymaking will con-
clude with social dance. No more en-
ioyable evening was ever spent in the
building than the occasion of the last
hop given by the league and it is hoped
to repeat.
The ladies report that the proceeds
from the pictures presented at the Rose
theater Sunday afternoon were up to
expectations and they want to thank
organized labor through the Journal for
its liberal patronage. The pictures were
both entertaining and instructive and a
decided impetus has been given to the
labor movement in this city. Brother
Taylor added to the program materially
by explaining each view as it was
thrown on the screen and by giving
condensed but comprehensive review of
the accomplishments of trades unions.
The League feels grateful to Manager
st. Peter for his courtesy and consid-
Grafton in turning over the theater and
the generous percentage of receipts
turned over.
The League has tentative plans under
way to pay a fraternal visit to their
sister organization in Seattle. The mem
bers are watching with keen apprecia-

and cheer the members on. Details will
