of entertainments to raise a necleus for
that fund. An interesting program is
being prepared for the night Of the 9th

fee of ten cents is to be charged to the
entertainment and certainly this sum

The hall should be taxed to capacity

worthy cause. This organization is

STATE LABOR COMMISSIONER

Chas F. Hubbard, who is drawing
without earning) the salary of labor
commissioner is getting himself into a
peck of trouble by his discharge of Mrs.
Mason, the female deputy in his office.
Hubbard has never wanted to enforce
the eight hour law and Mrs. Mason did
not "fall in with his idea of law en-
forcement, hence her discharge. Hub
bard was appointed by ALBERT THE
WEAK at the behest of Ben Grosscup,
who was the railroad boss in the state
at that time. Hubbard's Job will end
with Hays regime, Tacoma Forum.

A NEW ORGANIZATION.

A new union makes its bow to or
ganized labor of Everett. Rather lusty
infant, too Its initial meeting three
weeks ago saw twenty eight names on
the charter roll and at the last meeting
Wednesday evening the number was
swelled to forty. You guessed it. It's
the gas workers. They have sent for
their charter and in the meantime are
perfecting their organization. A COM
mittee has been appointed to work in
conjunction with like committee from
the plumbers in drawing up a joint
agreement defining jurisdiction. Dele
gates have been elected to the Trades
Council and will present their creden-
tials tonight.

LARGE FUND
IS REALIZED
MCNAMARA BENEFIT BALL
ATTENDED BY BIG CROWD
AND HANDSOME SUM is
MELTED FOR DEFENSE
FUND,

Organized labor feels well satisfied
with the results from the Mcnamara
benefit ball of last Monday evening.
The net proceeds will total several hun
bred dollars but the exact amount can
not be determined until all the tickets
which were distributed among the vari-
Gus organizations and given to individu-
ais to sell are accounted for.
The dance itself was an enjoyable af-
fair. The big hall was crowded with
dancers from the time the band struck
up the first gay strains at 9 o'clock in
the evening until 2 o'clock the next
morning, when the weary musicians
played the Home" waltz.
The Label League booth was quite
well patronized and turned in a neat
sum of money to help swell the fund.
In addition to dispensing refreshments
II box of cigars was ratified off. The
holder of the winning number, $780,"
had left the hall when the drawing took
place. If he will present the number
the cigars are his.
The Trades Council is very gratified
over the whole hearted manner in which
all took hold of the proposition. Spe'
cial thanks are due the Musicians union,
which donated the services of twenty of
its members during the entire dance.
The Stage Workers, label League and
socialist local contributed greatly to the
success of the ball as did many individ-
uals who gave time and attention to the
work of disposing of tickets and carry
ing out the various details.
The amount raised will be sent out at
once to those entrusted with the defense
fund.

BACK FROM
CONVENTION
leo. BOURNE HOME FROM
ELECTRICAL WORKERS
CONVENTION AT ROCKIES
TER, N. Y. REPORTS A
SPLENDID SESSION BUT NO
SETTLEMENT OF FAC
TIONAL TROUBLE.

George Bourne returned to Everett
Tuesday after Il six weeks trip through
the eastern states. Bro. Bourne was
sent as a delegate from the Electrical
Workers Of Everett to the international
convention Of the Reid faction in Ro-
chester, n. y. Side trips were made to
New York City, Niagara Falls and To-
ronto, while ten days was spent at his
old home in Minnesota. lie returned
home by way Of the Canadian Pacific.
Speaking Of the convention, Bro
Bourne said: we were in session eleven
days, most Of the time holding both day
and night sessions. The McNuty fac
tion was in session at Rochester at the
same time and a joint conference COM
mittec met almost continuously but with
no final settlement Of the long standing
trouble. They wanted US to surrender
everything we have contended for, prac-
tically come in individually as members
of their international, when all would
be forgiven. Our district councils,
through the medium of which we have
achieved so much, were to be abolished.
We couldn't see it that way at all and
the whole deal was off They made
much capital of the fact that they were
the only bona fide Electrical Workers
International recognized by the A. I. of
L. and had that fact pasted on big
banner over their headquarters. The
relative strength of the two factions
may be readily seen when it is known
that though the McNulty faction al
lowed one delegate to every fifty mem
bers while the Reid faction allowed one
delegate to every hundred, McNulty's
crowd had only IS delegates while we
had over 240.'
It is about time that the American
Federation Of Labor washed its hands
of the Electrical Workers scrap. 1t is
in hardly an enviabe position to be
unfolding the claims of an international
about one-fourth of the or
ganized members of that craft We
would rather see the a. +. of L. repudi-
ate the whole business and leave the
matter up to the boys themselves to
eventually settle than to keep things
split wide open by favoring one faction.

AS THE TWIG IS BENT.

park last Tuesday evening and my at.
tention was arrested by the presence III
several hundred school children and a
good sprinklinr cf adults. The air was
filled with excitement and | stopped to
see what it was all about. 1t proved to
be relay race between teams repre-
senting the grade schools of the city.
Midway in the block was a line of eager
little fellows, muscles taut, faces eager.
school colors tightly clasped in chubby
hands. The pistol barked and away
they went. Quarter way around the
square they ran and then the second
waiting squad took up the race. The
big crowd of eager partisans cheered
their school teams on and how those lit
tie kiddies did run. There wasn't a
penny bet on that race. Nobody ran
under wraps. Each boy ran his little
heart out and the slower ones didn't
quit because they We're left behind. BY
a process of elimination the race mar
rowed down to a single representative
of each school and the lad carrying the
colors of the Washington school won
Johnnie Hayes, who won the Marathon
contest from the picked runners of the
world in London, never experienced a
prouder moment than did the little fell
low who carried off victory in the finals
for his school. And the applause from
the thousands gathered in that London
stadium was not half as sincere as that
given to the victors in this simple little
athletic meet. And do you think the
losers We're hard losers? Not bit OF
it. "Next time well beat 'em."
This is the lesson | learned. These
athletic contests and good -natured riv

UNION LEADERS ARRESTED
OTIS PLAYS HIS LAST TRUMP CARD
EVERETT PRINTS
ENTERTAIN HAYS

If Secretary-Treasurer Hays of the
International Typographical Union
ever enjoyed an outing better
than he did the one last Sunday at
Hat island, he is a hard man to
please, Anyhow, he said he had the
time of his life. Be it known the
prints can pull off some original
stunts when occasion requires, and
when it was known that their inter-
national official was to visit them,
they decided to get away from the
cut-and-dried receptions, and initiate
him into the mysteries and delicacies
Of a Puget Sound 'mulligan" If
you don't know what a "mulligan"
is, get on the good side of the prints
some Sunday this summer and go with
them to Hat island You'll find out
and you'll vow it's the best thing ever
put over.
About twenty-five Of the boys
boarded the official mulligan ship,
the launch Mitchell, bright and early
Sunday morning, and headed for Hat
island. When they got there they
found a big fire blazing on the beach.
an aroma that spelled "eats" pervad-
ing the atmosphere, and Head Chef
Sam Allen doing the big stunt with
conscious pride written all over his
countenance.
After the crowd had made The
spread look like the day after Thanks
giving, several Of the boys proceeded
to do the bold mariner stunt. and
what they did or didn't do to a sail
boat will be written in the archives
of the union and placed under the
cornerstone Of the new Labor temple.
Skipper higgins and First Mate
Webster started to sail the Spanish
main, but got into trouble with the
|craft while on the first leg of the
voyage. Both of them will pull up
at the bar on the next trip out.
The day was fine and everyone had
a dandy time, In the evening Sec
retary Hays addressed the boys on
the serious work of the organization
He left Monday for San Francisco,
vowing he would never forget the
good time given him by the Everett
printers.

WITH THE PAINTERS.

The painters, decorators and paper.
hangers local held an important meet
ing Tuesday evening.
1t was decided upon to affiliate with
the State Federation of Labor, such af-
filiation to date from May 1.
The accusations against the McNam-
ara brothers and Ortie McManigal OF
completely in the blowing up of the Los
Angeles Times building and the kid
naping by Burns detectives received the
strongest kind of condemnation. The
delegates to the Trades Council were in
structed to work for similar resolutions
from the central body. They were
further instructed to voice the senti
ments of the local in favor Of big
protest meeting under the auspices Of
the Central council.

Vaccination for Hog Cholera.

Probably the most important work
that is being conducted by the veter-
mary department of the A. & NJ. Col
lege of Texas is the war on hog
;holera which is being carried on by
DR.. Mark Francis, professor of veter-
mary science and surgery, and DR..
Ross P. Marsteller, associate profess
sor.
To the United States Department
of Agriculture is due the credit for
the discovery that incubation would
reduce the mortality in a herd of
hogs affected with hog cholera and
that it would make immune a hog
that had been treated. The bureau
of animal industry of the United
States department of agriculture
carried on experiments for years;
there was work in the laboratory and
work in field experiments that were
numerous, but finally these expert
ments resulted in the highly impor-
tant discovery that hog cholera
could be prevented. When it was
fully demonstrated that this could be
done, the United States department
of agriculture invited the represent
tatives of the various state expert
ment farms to attend m lettings held
at the experimental farm of the bu-
reau of animal industry near Ames.
Iowa, and twenty-five states were
represented at three meetings. DR..
Ross P. Marsteller attended for the
Texas experiment station of the A.
& M. College. There the evidence of
the serum was presented and demon
STATIONS in its use were had. DR..

AS in canning, run blade of silver
knife around inside OF edge of Jar to
permit air bubbles to arise to top
and break. Place jars on mat or pans
in moderately hot oven. Cook small
fruits ten minutes, the larger, harder
fruits will require more time. If the
jars are not full when removed from
the oven, fill with boiling syrup, wipe
and seal. If Economy jars are used
follow general directions for the an
plication of Economy lids. If screw
covers are used tighten them after
the glass has cooled.
The amount of sugar required for
the small fruit is a little over half
a pint to quart jar of fruit. Large
fruits, such as peaches, pears, quin-
ces, crab-apples, ETC., will require
about a pint of syrup to a quart Jar
of fruit. No one set rule can be given
for the sweetening OF fruit, owing to
the variety of fruits and the differ
ShNO IL pNA oOho1 LttSGCo anu pIGlGI-
ence. In fact, the less sugar used.
the fresher and more natural the
fruit will taste when opened for win
ter use.
Fruits may be canned without any
sugar and then heated with sugar
for table use when opened. Many
prefer putting up fruit in this man
ner for pies. The fruit can be run
through a seiye and made into fresh
buffers, etc, or combined with win
ter apples for buffers or various mar
malades. For canning many prefer to
let the fruit stand in the sugar over
night and cook the next morning in
their own juice.
All canned fruit should be plainly
Tabled and set away in a dry place. A
box containing one hundred labels
should not cost more than ten cents
The color of the fruit can be retained
by slipping paper sacks over the jars
or laying newspapers over and down
the front of the shelf.
