COUNCIL SWINGS BIG STICK
OVER PUGET TRACTION LINES

Following up the special message
sent BY Mayor costerlli, and In line
with the numerous petitions from
different sections OF the city, the
council yesterday afternoon swung
l,s club over the Puget Sound Trae-
ton Co. ln an effort 70 compel car
Hire extensions.
The council passed two measures
to bring the company 20 terma. The
first requires all street railways TO
issue transfers TO all other lines. so
that continuous ride within the
city will not exceed 8 cents.
The second was resolution de-
claring the intention Of the council
to grant franchises over is routes
where car line extensions are need
ed. The only objection TO this res
olution was made by Councilman
Haas, who said this would result
in creating an expense for adver'
tising on the part of the city. He.
however. did not vote against the
measure. Bids on any Of these
routes will be received by the city,
the highest bidder receiving the
franchise. A test can then be i'm
mediately made as to whether the
traction monopoly would have to is
sue transfers 20 the short line If
the courts decide in favor of the
transfer exchange, the Is franchises
advertised will become extraordi-
narIly profitable for the investor,
and the car line extensions will IN
doubleday be made. II may be pos.
sible that, with this club swinging
over the car company. II win decide
TO bid on the franchises Itself.

PAPER MILL WORKERS.


London. June 6.-In the past 1e
years the paper mill workers have
been endeayoring to secure the aboli-
ton Of the 'long drag" system. This
is a system under which employees
are compelled to work on Saturday
afternoon and night, and in many
cases on Sunday. AS a result Of this
agitation, many of the paper manufac-
turers have consented to close their
mills at noon on Saturday and keep
them closed until s o'clock Monday
morning: Only 10 per cent of the
manufacturers have refused to estab-
lish this new condition.

it has been a life and death stru ggle
with this company to continue its
existence. f
The quality of the collars and cuffs
made by them is equally as good, if
not better than those which are pro-
duced by non-union concerns, and
their employees are working under
conditions which guarantee shorter
Workday and a living wage. Every
advantage is taken by their competi-
tors to attempt to drive them out of
business, and for this firm to continue
their existence it remains with or
ganized labor and their friends to give
them that support and patronage which
is due them by purchasing collars and
cuffs bearing the union label.
You are also urged to appoint COM
mittees to wait upon the dealers. in

them place a line of these goods in
stock. In the event of your dealer
refusing to do this. you can be furnish

on the right road To- win the pen
nant.
The first game came off between
the Lizards and tho Turtles. the
