WOMEN ELECT
OFFICERS
LABEL LEAGUE HOLDS A
FRIENDLY CONTEST FOR
EXECUTIVE HEADS AND
EFFICIENT OFFICERS ARE
ELECTED.

monday evening meeting OF tnt
League was the occasion of the election
of new officers and new faces will be
seen in the officers chairs after the next
meeting. With the exception of the of
fices of financial secretary and treas
urer, which were filled by acclamation
there were friendly contests for each po-
sition. The following is the complete
roster of those elected:
President, Mrs. Theo. Zeigler; first
vice president, Mrs. Catherine V. Thom-
as; second vice president, Mrs. William
Smith; recording secretary, Miss Ada
Nichols (re-elected); corresponding sec
retary, Miss Bergerson; financial secre-
tary, Mrs. R. j. Olinger; treasurer, Mrs.
r. d. Sullivan ire -elected); sergeant at
Mrs. Geo. Gorgenson; trustees, Mrs. S.
Mitchell, Mrs. Leohr, Mrs. Martin.
The outgoing president, Mrs. S. Mitch
ell, has served the League faithfully
since its first organization and is well
deserving the hearty appreciation of the
members for her loyalty and zeal. 1t
is not the easiest task at any time to
serve in official position, it is doubly
hard to serve when an organization is
weak and struggling for existence.
The incoming president is capable and
efficient and her heart is in the work of
the Label League which augurs well for
success. The other officers chosen will
each do their part to keep the League
firmly established and to increase it's eff
ficiency. Some of them have had expert
ence and have already made good the
others we are sure will soon demon
strate the wisdom &c the members
choice.
Fourteen new members were initiated
and several applications received.
A committee consisting of Mesdames
Francois, Loehr and Little were appoint
ed to act in conjunction with like COM
mittee from the Trades council to pre-
pare an exhibit at the County Grange
fair which will be held at Snohomsh
next week. A booth in the building has
been reserved free of charge for a union
exhibit and it is the intention to pre-
pare a display of union made goods and
to distribute label literature. The com
mittee will have full charge of the booth
and some of them will be on hand dur
ing the fair, to demonstrate the goods
and boost labels generally. The Trades
Council committee is composed of mem
bers of crafts having labels and they
will work assiduously during the week
to prepare a good display.
The League was informed that the
Trades Council had engaged Rose B.
Moore for another months work.
Mrs. Moore reported that the last
week had been spent by her principally
among the retail clerks in the depart
ment stores and that she was confident
that the next meeting of the clerks would
witness a large class of lady clerks pres
ent for initiation. She also reported that
at meeting held Saturday of the news
boys of the city about .thirtyfive were
present and that large organization of
newsboys was an assured fact.
Under the head of Good and Welfare
a general discussion of labeled goods and
where to purchase them took place. In
terest in the work of the League is
growing with each meeting and it is not
a hollow assertion to make that very
soon it will be impossible to find scab
goods in any of Everett's stores.
There is still plenty of room for more
members. If each member would make
it point to bring in one application at
each meeting, feat not very difficult
to perform in view of the growing label
sentiment, the Labor Temple would
have to be enlarged to take care of the
meetings. Try it.
