HAYWOOD AT
COLISEUM
FORMER OFFICIAL OF THE W. F. OF
M. DELIVERS FoRcEFUL ADDRESS
BEFORE A LARGE AUDIENCE
MCNAMARA KIDNAPPING HANDLED
WITHOUT GLOVES.

A splendid audience greeted William
d. Haywood when he stepped upon the
platform at the Coliseum rink Tuesday
evening and he was accorded close at
tention throughout his address. Hay
wood is no kid glove orator, dealing out
platitudes and glittering generalities.
He goes straight to the heart of the
existing Industrial system, giving no
quarter and asking none in his unsparing
condemnation of evil. Looking at Bill
Haywood you are looking at man who
has stood in the shadow of the gallows
for no crime other than that of fighting
with all his rugged manhood for the
people of his owrr' class. He impresses
one most because he knows of his own
bitter experience just what capitalist in
Justice is. When one remembers back to
the time when he lay incarcerated in
the Idaho Jail, the wonder is not that he
is so bitter but that he should have come
through with shadow of respect for
our so-called republican form of govern
ment. Despite the sledge- hammer blows
against capitalism and the shafts of
satire on modern society he delivers, he
is man of large understanding and
sympathy. He seems to feel that the
great common people will solve their in
dustrial and social problems eventually
and that feeling imparts hope to his
message.
The Mcnamara case was dwelt upon
as only he could, who has gone through
all the stages of trial that the McNam-
aras are going through now. The par
allel in the methods of the detectives in
the present case with that of the Idaho
case was closely drawn. Haywood does
not think much of detectives and he
didn't mask his feelings in the matter.
Haywood delivered an able address
and left lasting impression with his
audience.

wiser thing for the next few weeks than
to subordinate all union business to the
label league organization campaign. Talk
it in your unions; talk it at your work;
talk it at your homes. If the organizer
reaches your home in her canvas. give
her little of your time and talk over
with her the problems that confront. Be
sure you will find them worth talking
about. The problems growing out of the
general labor movement are the most
vital things in the world today. You
can't escape them; you can learn how
to solve them. If the organizer doesn't
get around to your home-7and remember
there are whole lot of people to reach
in the next few weeks-tell your men
folks you want to learn something about
that Label League and that they must
take you down to the next meeting.
One thousand women in the Label
League as a result of this campaign? I?
An impossible accomplishment Is any
thing impossible if the 81 will spirit
takes hold of the community? We
think not.

The open meeting in the Labor Temple
Monday night under the auspices of the
Women's Label League was largely at
tended and the labor movement in Ev-
erett given a decided impetus by the
stirring address of the special organizer,
Mrs. Rose B. Moore, and remarks along
labor lines by members of the Trades
Council.
In the addresses delivered the keynote
of the thirty day organization campaign
was sounded Two definite things it is
hoped will be accomplished. First, a
more thorough organization of working
girls and women into their craft unions !;
second, the aims and objects of organized
labor and the large usefulness of COM
pact label league so impressed upon the
minds of the wives, sisters, mothers and
sweethearts of the male workers of the
city, that they will become active mem
bers of the Label League and work
shoulder to shoulder with their brothers
in the industrial field to bring brighter
days to the home circle.
The regular Monday evening meetings
of the league during the balance of the
month will be open to all who are inter
ested and union men of all trades are
urged to attend and bring their wives
1t is proposed also to make a personal
canvas. The organization committee is
planning to hold several neighborhood
meetings at the homes of league mem
bers to which the women of the neigh
borhood will be invited. At these in
formal gatherings the work of the leagu,
will be explained. Personal calls will
be made at the homes of the wives o.
unionists.
The enlisting of the women in this
work is the most important work eve
undertaken by organized labor of Ev
erett. In the hands of our women lie'
the purchasing power of the wages pai'
by Everett's industries. If it is to b.
spent with firms antagonistic to tn
cause of labor and for goods made unde
non union conditions, which in nearl.
every case means long hours, low wages
unsanitary surroundings, of what use !
an organization of working men forme'
to bring more of the comforts of lif
into the homer The women must lear
that the pay envelope which is place
in their hands on Saturday night is bi
or little in the same relation as tn
power of the earners to demand throug
their organization. They must lear
that great demand for union labele
goods created in Everett will do mol
to build up the unions and throue
added strength provide better for u

A FUTILE PHILANTHRAPIC SCHEME

j. G. Schmidlap, one of CincinnatIs
prominent bankers and business men, is
planning to build model tenements for
the city's poor. The idea is not exactly
new but Mr.. Schmidlap figures on car
rying it out on bigger scale than has
yet been attempted elsewhere. Houses
will be built of a better quality than
the ordinary tenement, containing more
conveniences and occupying more space.
Presumably the rental will be no more.
Mr.. Schmidlap will not admit that this
plan is charity as he figures it will
yield dividend of five per cent. He
forgets that the sale of anything for
less than the market price is giving
something for nothing, regardless of
whether it yield dividend or not.
Mr.. Schmidlapp's intentions are good
but he is unconsciously offering the
poor, dead sea fruit. He is a very
wealthy man but is hardly wealthy
enough to build sufficient model dwell
ings to house the entire tenement popu-
lation, or any more than an insignifi'
cant fraction of it, But even if he
should be able to command funds enough
to put his plans in operation on a large
scale he will find when he tries it that
he has reckoned without his host. The
mere rumor that he is about to do as
he plans will send up the value of land
so that he will at the outset find the
need of revising his figures. If in spite
of this drawback he will proceed to pay
the inflated prices, build his houses ant
rent them at a loss he will run VI
against another difficulty. The owners
| of the old tenements, rather than lost
their tenants, will offer to reduce rents
Even this will only prove to be but &
temporary benefit. Reduced rents max,
| it possible for laborers to take less
wages. Although laborers do not worl
for less than they must they will bC
compelled to work for less by the un
employed who will take advantage o
the opportunity given them by reduced
rent to underbid those at work. So Mr.
Schmidlap's philanthropy when carried
out to an extent he probably does no
contemplate will help no one.
The same defect inheres in al
schemes to help the poor by giving then
something which unjust conditions pre-
vent them from getting for themselves
No rich man can do anything to help tn
poor, no matter how good his intention
may be, except to use the power hi
wealth gives him to abolish the unjus
laws that enable some to legally appro
pirate the earnings of others withou
adequate return.
i If Mr.. Schmidlap would join in th
movement to secure the iniative an
, referendum in Ohio he would do the poo
of his city and state a far greater sci
vice than he can do by building an
number of model dwellings.

The general committee of the Trades
Council for Labor Day held its first
meeting in Labor Temple last Sunday
morning. The committee organized by
electing f. p. Marsh permanent chair
man and S. J. Hart permanent secre-
tary. committees We're appointed
to take charge of the various features
of the celebration.
The main event of the day will be the
big industrial parade, and, to borrow
from Ringling's press agent, it will be
bigger, brighter, better than ever"
Labor Day is THE day in the 3G5 that
is regarded by the toilers as peculiarly
their own and they intend to observe
this year as never before.
Every union in the city, with the pos
sible exception of one or two crafts, the
nature of which precludes their turning
out, will be expected to turn out its full
strength.
In the afternoon the exercises and
sports will be pulled off at Robbins
park and the committee promises a good
line of attractions. Charles Perry Tay-
lor of Tacoma has been secured as
speaker of the day and union people
who have heard Brother Taylor know
that the Labor Day address will be Il
rare treat.
From time to time as Labor Day
plans mature they will be announced in
the Journal. The committee is very
anxious that the various organizations
take up a discussion of what they in
tend doing on that day early SO that the
committee may have definite knowledge
to work on. This applies particularly
to the parade feature. The committee
would like to receive the early assur-
ance that all unions will be in line with
the probable number of men from each
union; also what floats will be prepared
and entered by the unions.
Everybody get in and boost from now
on for the Labor Day celebration.

Los Angeles, Cal, July 13.-That
Burns methods in breaking open John
J. McNamara's safe in indianapolis is
not at all new is shown by reference to
the files of newspapers showing where
the Burns men in San Francisco cracked
the safe of Pat Calhoun little over two
years ago.
When John j. McNamaras safe was
cracked, according to Rappaport's state
ment, valuable papers and 1922 were
stolen therefrom and the Burns thugs
have made no pretense of accounting for
it.
At the time the San Francisco safe
cracking took place the Los Angeles
Times was in the pay of Calhoun, the
notorious railroad president and accused
briber, Otis paper was bitter against
Burns and it daily eXcoriated the de-
tective for his methods.
In an editorial of March 30, 1909, the
Times said:
Bill Burns will probably find out be-
fore he goes much further that he is just
as amenable to the law-just as amen
able as any safe-cracker"
That was long before Burns did his
kidnapping act for which he is now
under indictment in indianapolis. Burns
is in hiding in England.
Police Detective James Hosicll of Los
Angeles, who is under Indictment in In
dianapolis with Burns on the same felony
charge, has not returned to his haunts
around Los Angeles and there is no APP
parent attempt to apprehend him.
