LEAGUE WILL
PUT ON VIEWS
TAKES UP OFFER OF MR..
TAYLOR TO PRESENT SER
les OF STEREOPTICON
VIEWS IN EVERETT-COM-
MITTEE WORKING ON THE
PROJECT.

The Woman's Label League met again
last Monday evening and an extremely
interesting session was held. That in
terest has not waned in the work of
the league was manifested by the well
filled hall with women present in a ratio
of about five to one.
Five new candidates were initiated
and several applications were acted
upon, The campaign for membership is
apparently still on.
The most interesting feature of the
evening was an address by Charles Perry
Taylor of Tacoma. He apologized for
his hoarseness of throat by saying that
he had tried the previous day to make
himself heard by seven thousand people
who packed Dreamland ring in Seattle
to the doors and flowed out into the
street to protest against the attempt
of capital to railroad the Mcnamara
brothers to the galIows.
He reviewed the Mason case in detail
telling the story of Mrs. nlo-Y.. dis
missal and the governors refusal to re
instate her. Hubbard and Hay came in
for an unmerciful scoring and the voters
of both sexes were asked to bear Mr.
Hay strictly in mind when it came time
to elect a new state administration next
fall.
The work that the Everett league is
doing was complimented in high terms
1T is the hope" declared Mr.. Taylor,
of the State Federation to arrange next
year for systematic campaign through
out the state in behalf of the union
label movement, and to establish strong
label leagues in every union center.
Business and pleasure combined"
said Brother Taylor, brings me to Ever
EFT tonight Pleasure at being privileged
to attend meeting of this kind, and
business which | wish to lay before
you"
Mr.. Taylor at considerable personal
expense has had made many stereopti-
con views. They embrace views taken
of the Labor Day celebration in Everett
last month; Labor Day views of Spo-
kane taken a year ago; views of the
big labor celebration in Gle Elum on
July Fourth; twenty-six views of the
Printers Home in Colorado Springs;
pictures taken at MaXwelton on Labor
Sunday; views of Grays Harbor and of
Moclips on the Pacific ocean; views of
the Cascades; views of the school chill.
dren's carnival in the Tacoma stadium.
in which five thousand children partici-
pated; Puget Sound scenery; picture.
of labor men of state and national re-
pute.
After November Mr.. Taylor is at
liberty to present these views through
out the state. He will travel with the
slides, explaining each view as it is pre-
sented. One of the prime reasons for
putting on these series is, as he ex-
pressed it, "to convince the general pub
lie by ocular demonstration that the
labor movement is Il practical, sane,
American institution, and that its lead
ers do not wear hoofs and horns, but
are rational, normal beings"
Mr. Taylor's plan is for some union
body in each locality to make arrange
ments with some local theatre to put
on the views, giving the organization in
question a percentage of the receipts.
Mr., Taylor makes absolutely no charge
for his services, but allows the organi-
zations to take all profits turned over
by the theatre managers. His own time
will be paid for by the State Federation
the same as if he were out on organi-
zation work. Mr.. Taylor argues rightly
that it is the best and most effective
kind of organization and educational
work he knows of. The amusement low.
ing public have contracted the show
habit and in this way it can be reached
as possibly in no other way.
A committee was at once appointed
to take up the matter of securing tho
views and it is hoped to put them on il
ber.
