WHAT IS
REASONABLE
PRICE OF WATER PER HY-
DRANT is TO BE DETERM-
INED BY THE COURTS
WATER COMPANY STARTS
SUIT.

What is a reasonable price for the city
to pay for water per hydrant?
The water company says that four
dollars per month for each hydrant is a
reasonable price and has started suit to
recover $4,20S.55 on this basis from the
city for water furnished from February
II of this year to July 81. Papers have
been served on the mayor citing the city
to appear in superior court within 20
days to show cause why the city should
not pay this amount, along with legal
interest and the costs accruing to the
plaintiff in bringing the action.
The mayor is inclined to accept udg
ment as asked, the same as in the case
of the Seattle Tacoma Power company
The city attorney demurs to this and
is determined, unless means are taken
to stop him, to contest the suit and prove
the unreasonableness of the charge Ac-
cording to the Bardon resolution passed
last week, the city contends that the
rates charged at the present time for
light, power and water furnished the
city are excessive, and the city attorney
will make a showing at the forthcoming
hearing before the public utilities com
mission to that effect Should the city
acknowledge the reasonableness of the
charge per hydrant at the present time
such acknowledgement would be used
against the city at that hearing.
In Seattle charge of $500 is made
against each hydrant, exactly one-half
the amount asked by the local water
company. The city attorney proposes
to test whether $4OO is fair in Everett
when $500 is asked in Seattle for the
same unit of supply.
The four dollars demanded is for
water alone. The city furnishes its
own hydrants, all the material necessary
in its installation and connection with
the mains, and pays for the work of
installation.
Coupled with this suit as part of the
same action are two other claims of the
company against the city, one for
Sl40.39 for repairs of hydrants and in
stalling meters, and another for $2607l
for electric current for the signal sys-
tenn and other purposes.

NO GUN MEN
In BERKELEY
(By National Socialist Press

Berkeley, Cal, Sept. l4.-A startling
contrast between the difference in the
way capitalist and Socialist administra-
tions deal with gun-men and strike
breakers was given here when John p.
Fifley was arrested by plain clothes
patrolman and lodged in Jail ON charge
of carrying concealed deadly weapons.
Fifley was one of number of gun
men who are acting as scabs in lumber
yards in Oakland. Ii is a notorious fact
that Oakland police drive around in
buggies guarding the scab drivers and
lumber showers.
Mayor j. Stitt Wilson, the Socialist
who is making such a magnificent record
in Berkeley, ordered the police to be on
the alert for any of the thugs who might
come into Berkeley. The result was the
arrest of one bad man who doubtless will
be given Jail sentence.

REPLY RECEIVED FROM J. j.
MCNAMARA.

At the session of the Trades Council
Just previous to Labor Day, it was voted
TO send night letter to the Mcnamara
brothers, assuring them of the conf
dence and affection of organized labor
of Everett and of our trust that their
coming trial would fully establish their
innocence in the eyes of the world.
A reply to that message has just been
received in the handwriting of John j.
Mcnamara, which we give below. The
courage and spirit breathed forth in the
short message should put to shame those
of us who grow weary of well doing or
despair at some petty persecution.
"Los Angeles, Cal, Sept. 0, 1911.
"Mr. r. j. Olinger, Everett, Wash.
Dear Sir and Brother hereby
acknowledge receipt of your night letter
of the 4th inst, containing fraternal
greetings from organized labor of your
city to my brother and myself.
"We take this opportunity of thank
ing you sincerely and through you, your
co workers in Everett, for their assur-
ance of faith and confidence and belief
in our innocence.
Being founded on Justice we feel
that the cause of Labor win emerge tri-
umphant.

and our friends here are doing every
thing possible in our behalf.

LABEL LEAGUE
BIDS FAREWELL
TO ROSE B. MOORE, WHO
CLOSES HER WORK IN EV-
ERETT - WOMEN SPEAK
ERS GIVE SPLENDID AD-
DRESSES.

Many interesting and well attended
meetings of the Womens' Union Label
League have been held since the begin
ming of the organization campaign but
in our opinion last Monday evening wit
messed the best one of all. The hall
was crowded with men and women, near
ly all of whom have affiliated with the
League since the coming of Mrs. Moore.
No business was transacted as the
time was fully taken up with addresses,
instrumental selections and readings.
Miss Bergeron rendered several pleasing
piano solos and Master Zeigler gave
violin selection that made hit with
the crowd. A dramatic reading by Mrs.
Emma Anderson met hearty encore
and she responded with humorous
reading.
Mrs. DR.. johnson of Tacoma, made the
principal address of the evening. She
the League on it's splendid
growth and dealt at length on women's
share in the helpful work of the world.
Mrs. johnson had cause to feel very
proud of the Everett League as it was
she that organized and started it going
in December of last year.
Miss Anna Maley, editor of The Com
monwealth, spoke briefly but decidedly
to the point. Miss Maley has forcble
way of delivering her thought and the
auditor must be dense indeed that did
not sense the injustice of economic con
ditions as she pictured them An oc
casional rapier thrust of sarcasm pune
tuated her remarks but no tinge of bit
terness or malice accompanied it,
Mrs. Rose B. Moore spoke briefly but
with a full heart. She reviewed the
work accomplished by the Label League
and spoke feelingly of the eagerness
with which the workers in the stores
and in the homes of the wage earners
received the message of the union label.
In voice nearly broken at times with
emotion she expressed her gratitude to
the band of men and women who had
stood so loyalty by her and urged them
to carry forward the work started so
auspiciously. She declared that it would
be pleasant memory she would carry
away with her of her union associations
and that she should be gratified if some
time in the future she might be per-
mitted to make this city her permanent
home. The applause which instantly
greeted her bore eloquent testimony to
the place she has won in the esteem and
affection of our people.
E. P. Marsh of the Journal closed the
meeting with short talk and voiced
the good will and appreciation of or
ganized labor of Everett toward the spe-
cial organizer, who, with this meeting,
closed her engagement here. When the
audience was asked by the speaker to
rise and remain standing for one minute
in silent recognition of her work, the
response was instant and electrifying.
We know two things have happened
as a result of the weeks of label work
The union spirit in this city has been
wonderfully revived and quickened and
the movement has developed some splen
did women who will take up the work
and carry it triumphantly forward.

CURTAIL LIBERTY
(By National Socialist Press

Los Angeles, Sept. l4.-Orders given
to Sheriff w. A. Hammell by Burns op-
eratives has resulted in curtailing the
liberties of John j. and James B. Nc
Namara in the county Jail. Henceforth
the men will be restricted within the
confines of their cells.
The barred cells where the men are
confined are enclosed in steel walled
room about IA feet square. There is a
narrow passage all around the cells and
when the prisoners were permitted to
walk around the outside of their cells
II gave them an opportunity to get near
a barred window and breathe pure air.
II also gave them an opportunity to get
some exercise.
The orders given to the jailers will
work severe hardship ON the men and
especially on John b. Mcnamara, who
feels the need of the walk around and
around the narrow room where he paced
hour after hour, much of the time with
book in hand and only stopping at in
tervals to make notes on pad he kept
on small table in his cell
To make the punishment more severe
the Burns men ordered two small potted
plants which the prisoners priced very
highly, removed from the cell. One OF
these was fern the boys had tenderly
nursed throughout the months they
have been confined in the cell. All
flsSers have been prohibited.
It is believed Burns hopes to weaken
the men down by the colse confinement
and break them physically before the
trial begins. The attorneys for the de-
fense declined to comment on the treat
ment of the prisoners, but they CON
firmed the statement of the treatment
they are receiving at the hands of the
jailer.

,IVIC LEAGUE DISCUSSES
UNION LABEL.

At the meeting of the Wom
ans Civic League, held Wednes
day evening in the rooms of the
Chamber of Commerce, Mrs. Rose
B. Moore was given the floor to
acquaint the members with the
the objects of the Women's Label
League Mrs. Moore asked the
women to cooperate with the
Label League members in de-
manding the union card and
label. A resolution to that effect
will be voted on at the next
meeting, which will undoubtedly
carry. The thinking women
every where are awakening to
their social responsibility for
eXitsing social evils and realize
that as purchasers they have an
economic power which when ju-
diciously exercised will become
a real factor in raising the stand
ard of working women's condi-
tions.
