The Ladies
Entertain
LABEL LEAGUE HOLDS SOCIAL SES-
SION WITH ENJOYABLE PROGRAM
-WHIRLWIND CAMPAIGN NEXT
MONTH.

Monday evening was entertainment
night with the Ladies' Label League and
those present listened to well-rendered
musical and literary program. Vocal
solos were rendered by Mr.. f.. j. Edney
and Mrs. Geo. Georgenson and each one
responded to encores. Miss Graybill
gave a dramatic reading that was well
received This little lady has talent OF
Il high order, more, perhaps, than she is
herself aware of. MIR. McRae rendered
a piano solo and acted as accompanist
for the volcal solos, while Messrs. And
erson, Weston and jacobson delighted
the crowd by several mandolin trio Sc
lections. Messrs. Straka and Marsh
spoke briefly upon the meaning of the
union label and the significance of the
work of the Label League.
Following the program the ladies on
the entertainment committee furnished
refreshment for the inner man in the
way of ice cream and cake. The hall
was cleared for dancing and those who
wished ged in that pastime.
Members of organized labor generally
little realize the relation of live label
league to the labor movement of this
city. If they did they would more read
lily respond to the constant call for mem
bership and cooperation. There is no
reason on earth why the league should
not have five hundred members on its
rolls instead of slightly over a hundred.
While the members are hopeful and en-
thusiastic it is hard for them to under
stand the apparent aloofness of so many
who should be active workers in the
cause of the union label.
If one would only stop to think that
the little trade insignia has more potent
power than strikes. "A strike means loss
of wages, privations and sufferings and
is often powerless in the end to achieve
the direct results hoped for. The label
is an instrument always ready at hand
without the loss of an hours earning
and purchasing power.
During the month of June the Trades
Council and Label League will conduct
a special campaign of organization and
education. The services of Mrs. Rose b
Moore of Spokane have been secured to
act as special organizer. She is an earn
est. efficient woman and will give to the
labor movement in Everett the impetus
of an active brain and heart that beats
true to the cause of the working class
Her best efforts cannot be effective
however, without the loyal support and
active cooperation of the men and wom-
en- of labor in this city. Not only the
active minority but the silent majority
of trade unionists should aid in the com
ing campaign.
Get the Everett spirit the spirit
that does things, instilled into each or
ganization. Make the coming label cru
sade special order of business at each
meeting and plan how best to lay the
preliminary lines for movement that
snall give he" NE ana Po"er I" oi""
unionism.
The grandest movement under the sun
| is that which makes for the economic and
social betterment of the working class
| Shall we be held blameless if we allow
that movement to become prosaic and
lifcless because of our mental inertia?
Put your shoulders to the wheel, 'm-
ion men and women of Everett, to make
the label league and the cause it stands
for effective and productive of renewed
| life.
