Interesting short talks were made by

splendid things to hold occasionally.
They furnish break in the routine of

, TEN of malicious prosecution of the men
of labor, our duty is plain.
Funds must be provided to insure a
fair and impartial trial. Eminent coun-
sci has been engaged. Arrangements are
proceeding that a proper defense may be
made The great need of the hour is
money with which to meet the heavy in
dictment to the collection of evidence
and other necessary expense.
Every man who was connected with
the kidnapping of the McNamaras will
be prosecuted to the full limit of the
law. 1t is proposed that the interests
of organized labor shall be fully pro-
tected, and punishment meted out to de-
tective agencies that assume to be SUI
perior to the law. The rights of the
men of labor must shall be preserved.
The men of labor, unlike the hostile
organizations arrayed against us, have
not vast sums of wealth to call upon,
but they are imbued with the spirit of
justice, and are ever ready to make sac
rifice for principle.
The trial of the McNamaras is set to
commence on October II. In the name
of justice and humanity all members of
our organizations are urgently requested
to contribute literally as their abilities
will permit. All contributions toward
the legal defense of the Mcnamara cases
and for the prosecution of the kidnap-
ers should be transmitted as soon as
collected to Frank Morrison, S01-S09 G
street, n. W., Washington, d. c., who
will forward receipt for every contri-
button received by him, and after the
trials a printed copy of the contributions
received, together with the expense in
cured will be mailed to each contribu-
tors. Fraternally,

GRANGE FAvORS HALF HOLIDAY

Two years ago | had the pleasure of
telling organized wage workers that a
Grange in Snohomish county had voted
to have no dealings with business men
who employed Japs.
| now have the pleasure of telling
you that Whatcom county Pomona voted
unanimously in favor of Saturday half
holiday, voluntarily, so far as concerns
those who employ themselves; legal so
far as concerns employers who have
many employees. Not only was the
resolution carried unanimously, but a
committee was appointed to conduct a
campaign looking to the enactment of
law through the initiative if neces-
sary.
There are several neighborhoods in
Whatcom county where the Saturday
half holiday is now observed by farm
ers. Some favor the plan in order to
secure better observance of Sunday
Others for financial reasons, believing
that it will be better to work faster for
five and half days; some for social
reasons, thinking to make life richer by
taking half day a week for social in
tercourse. C. Z. Flint, Blaine, r. f. d
No. 2, is the committee, and l hope
members of organized labor will cor.
respond with him and agree on the out
lines of bill He will doubtless cor.
respond with labor editors. With the
Grange and organized labor united on
such measure there should be nc
trouble in enacting it. OF course much
will need be done TO get all Changers
into line; for this is the first which
now recall. But there seems to be- nc
good reason why year of education
should not see us ready for a forward
movement. m w. II. KAUFMAN,

He was very much puzzled the other day
while walking down the street to notice
passing pedestrians stare curiously at
him, but the climax was reached when
a relative of his met him and in a
frightened voice asked him how he had
been hurt. Ed. never felt better in his
life, but the joke was explained when
he discovered that his hat band had been

COATES SPEAKS ON COMMISSION
FORM.

Over hundred American cities have
adopted the commission form of gov.
ernment in some form or other. Most
of them have followed the general lines
of the Des Moines plan, changing some
features to meet local conditions. Spo-
kane, which adopted the commission
form last winter, is particularly proud
of its charter, believing that it is one
of the best yet adopted in the United
States.
d. c. Coates, who will speak one week
from tonight in the high school audi
torium, is well qualified to speak upon
| that subject. He has been i'm touch
with the plan adopted in Spokane since
it's earliest inception. When in October,
1909, Mayor Pratt of Spokane appoint
ed committee to investigate and re-
port general outline of an advisory
charter of the commission type, Mr..
Coates was made member of that com
mittee. The committee devoted five
months time to the study of the sys-
tens in vogue in various cities, and re-
ported back an advisory commission
charter. This report was transmitted
by the mayor to the city council with
the recommendation that an election be
held to choose freeholders to draw up
a permanent charter. The city council
did as innumerable other city councils
have done when very satisfactory rela-
tionships were threatened, ignored the
recommendations. Mandamus proceed
ings by the citizens were necessary be-
fore the council finally set September
~, 1910, as an election date. At
that election a charter revision commit
tee was elected, nine of whom had been
members of the advisory committee.
Mr.. Coates was one of the nine. The
charter drawn UP by this committee was
adopted and Mr.. Coates chosen one of
the five commissioners to govern the
city. He was made commissioner of
public works and is giving his entire
time to the affairs of the city. In the
comparatively short time since he as
sumed office he has saved the taxpayers
many thousands of dollars on public
contracts and at the same time been
instrumental in raising the wages of
day laborers on public works to three
dollars a day.
Considerable opposition to the COM
mission form of government usually de-
velops in any city where it is proposed
to try it out, generally on the ground
that it is too much power and authority
to be placed in the hands of few men.
Those attending the meeting to be ad-
dressed by Mr.. Coates win hear the OBJ
iections answered and the main features
of the plan fully explained.

UNORGANIZED MEN STRIKE AT
WILLAMETTE IRON WORKS

An effort on the part of the officials
of the willamette Iron & Steel Works
to put in effect method of slave driv-
ing by using a bonus system, and the
employment of unskilled laborers, with
the intention of forcing the experienced
men to teach them the trade, resulted
in walkout of $50 boilermakers and
helpers between noon and 1 0 o'clock at
night, Tuesday.
The strikers are not organized union
men, although many of them carry union
cards. This strike was not called by any
labor organizer. The men talked mat
ters over among themselves and formed
committee which waited on the Off
cials, who refused to listen to the COM
plants of their men, or to consider any
form of arbitration.
w. J. Henning chairman of the com
mittee, made the following statement:
"This strike was brought about by an
attempt to make slaves out of Amerisan
do with it and the question of open
shop was not brought up.
"This iron works is an open shop.
The skilled boilermakers receive As
cents an hour Of late the company
has been hiring a lot of inexperienced
laborers for 25 cents an hour and send
| ing them into our department.
They instructed the boilermaders to
teach these men the work. 1t was seen
before long that the intention of the
company was to replace the higher sal
aried men with cheap labor.
''Then a bonus system was put in
operation.
"The company would pick out an un-
usually fast man and have him work at
top speed for nine hours. What he ac.
complished in that time las called a
days work. Then system was put in
effect whereby man would receive hall
and the company half for any work
done in excess of that limit Under this
pidii, nltlt ia cdScS VI ueccsSlbf Wouiu
work IL hours in an effort to make O
little more money.
"In addition to this, the company
made rule of giving So bonuses to GER
tain favored men, who were fast work
ers. These men were expected to tel
the others about the extra coin, anC
thus get them to increase their speed.
"The entire system tended to make
the men work at a speed beyond human
endurance, and is worse than slavery
1t takes years off mans life. The
company officials seemed to want TO Sc,
how far they could go before we would
rebel. Well, they found out, all right.
so many men went out that tbs
night shift of the iron works was de
pleted and the shop shut down at II
o'clock Tuesday night. About IT'S mel
are employed on the two shifts in tn,
boiler shops, and less than rs remain
These are monstly foreigners, including
the low salaried men with which tn
company was gradually replacing th
skilled workers"

fulness that lay at their doors, to enlist
their active services in the social strug-
gle.
The home-to-home visits made by
Mrs. Rose B. Moore are bearing fruit
in this awakened interest in the possi-
bilities offered in the Label League.
Wives of wage-earners throughout the
city are talking about the league in
their home circles. Several women
have held informal neighborhood meet
ings at their homes during the past week
to which they have invited their friends
At these meetings the women have
taken up the theme of organization of
women and discussed it earnestly and
intelligently.
Nor has the movement been confined
to the women in the homes. Lady clerks
in several of the stores are taking keen
interest in organization and many of
them will soon affiliate with the Retail
Clerks union.
There is no limit to the results that
may be accomplished for social uplift
by the women in the labor movement.
Never losing sight of what has been ac-
by the unions of Everett
toward betterment of social conditions,
we are still firmly of the opinion that
the movement has but begun. The cour-
age of women added to consciousness
of their power can and will accomplish
wonders.
