TREASURY.
There is no use talking but those
ladies of the Label League can enter
tain. There isn't a dull moment from
start TO finish of one of their evenings
and old Dull Care is made to steer
clear of the scene of festivities. Really,
some of you stay-at homes don't know
what you are missing
Monday evening last was a long session
of pleasure. As usual the hall was
packed and the following splendid pro-
gram was rendered:
Vocal solo, Ada Nichols.
Reading, Mrs. Emma Anderson.
Vocal solo, Mr.. Edney, accompanied
by Mr.. McCrae.
Recitation, Katharine May Franzen.
Instrumental trio Mrs. Cheney, Mrs.
Daily, Mr.. Patterson.
Reading, Mrs. Vera Logee.
Instrumental trio, Melvin Trio.
An old fashioned basket social was the
special feature with Mrs. Francois in
the stellar role of auctioneer. The bid
ding was spirited and only the warning
that there was limit prevented some of
the boys from blowing their whole
weeks wages. Several baskets were re-
turned to the auctioneer to he resold,
the purchasers finding themselves the
owners of more than one each and un-
able to negotiate the contents of more
than one basket. For the special edifi-
cation of several of the boys whose
money was paining them the limit on
these boxes was removed and they went
to it. 1t was something fierce. Like a
poker game friendship ceased. Tom
Cooley, Wendell Williston, Sam Allen
and Ed. Francois are three game sports
that are working this week for the Label
League in consequence of getting reck.
less with their coin. But they're not
kicking and nobody else has a kick com
ing. Anyhow, the league needed the
money. Tables were laid upstairs and
hot coffee served to the diners.
After supper a social hop was engaged
in until two g. m, Frank Wagner and
Irving Jones of the Musicians union.
furnishing the harmony. The dawnce
was a success and several old bucks who
haven't been known to smile for three
weeks at a stretch We're observed kick
ing their heels around the floor like a
bunch of -year-olds.
The sale of baskets netted a good
amount for the league treasury.
Don't think from the foregoing that
the Label League never does any serious
work. The members haven't forgotten
how to work for the cause of the union
label as merchants all over the city can
testify to. As an auxiliary to the union
movement in this city the league is the
best investment ever made. 1t is no
stretch of the imagination to say that
the sale of union made goods has in
creased 100 per cent in the past few
motnhs and merchants who do not cater
to the union demand will find the dust
rapidly accumulating on their shelves
and counters.
1t was announced Monday evening
that Rose B. Moore will give a prize to
the lady member of the Everett league
who brings in the most new members
between now and February !, 1912, The
prize win be a beautiful gold drimmed
blue cross emblem. A spirited race
among the ladies for applicants will be
the order of the next three months

20, fraternal visit is to be paid to the
Seattle Label League A special car on
the interurban has been arranged for to
leave Everett at p. M, returning at
1890. Round trip tickets are 81, This
Excursion ought to be a big affair. 1t
affords a splendid opportunity to cheer
on the work of organization of the
women in Seattle being conducted by
Rose B. Moore and the best of times is
guaranteed. The men will have an OPP
lportunity to visit the Seattle central
body the same evening and Joint social
session will follow. Give the little lady
an evening off brother, from her home
routine and go with her on this trip
Tickets should be purchased at once so
lif it becomes necessary to charter an
other ear it may be attended to in time

Hurry now, so we can assure our broth
ers in Seattle that we will be down in
force.
