NOME MAN SENDS LEAGUE A
BEAUTIFUL PRESENT.

The Label League is in receipt of
a beautiful present in the form of an
ivory cribbage board made from a
walrus ,tusk. w. H. Gault, formerly
a member of the Everett Typographi-
cal Union, who is now located in Nome,
reads the Everett Labor Journal each
week and noticed how the Label
League was carrying on campaign
to raise funds for the new Labor Tenn
pie. and so admired their pluck that
he sent the beautiful ivory board to
be ratified and the proceeds to be de-
voted to the purchase of stock. Mr..
Gault was a member of the Label
League while he lived in Everett and
expects to return here at some time
in the future.

UNEXPECTED
HAPPENED
MINING COMPANIES STATE
THAT STRIKE rs OF LONGER
DURATION THAN WAS EX-
PECTED.

New York, Sept. 17.-Under the
most favorable conditions as regards
the settlement of the strike and the
resumption of mining, officers of Lake
Superior copper companies say that
they will not be able to show much
more than nine months of normal pro-
duction in the current year Some
progress has been made by the Ca
lumet and Helca organization in re-
C[ening number of shafts and get
ting uD ore, but practically all the
other properties on the Michigan
peninsula are still tightly closed down.
No secret is made by local directors
of the companies affected that the
strike has been prolonged for a much
greater len9'h % line than they had
expected They had hoped that the
appearance of militia would curb the
demonstrations of force on the part
of the strikers and would convince
those who were following the union
leadership in lukewarm fashion that
it would be to their best advantage to
take back their old places again. The
troops did not keep the situation in
hand as far as the welfare of property
was concerned but thier presence is
thought now to have stirred up con-
siderable resentment against employ
ers in quarters where it was not in
especial evidence n the early days of
me strikers. If true, this state of mind
has naturally added to the influence of
the union leaders in keeping the men
in line. If the difference of employer
and miners could be settled without
further delav it is figured that at least
a month would be necessary to put
the mines in their former state of eff
cheney This is the view of the situa-
tion taken by Wall Street as reported
il. one of ttC'r pap2's.

HEAR DR.. GRANNIS AT HIGH
SCHOOL AUDITORIUM.
One Days Rest in Seven.

DR.. G. w. Grannis will speak in the
high school auditorium next Wednes-
day, September "a, at 500 D. m. on
the subject of "One Days Rest in
Seven for All Who Toll"
There will be a musical program the
half hour preceding the lecture.
DR. Grannis is geneial secretary Of
the Lords Day Alliance and is touring
the Pacific states in the interest of this
organization.
The object of this body is to secure
one days rest in seven for all who
toil-the recognized Sabbath day if
posible-but the great thing striven
for is the ONE DAY whichever of the
seven it may be.
DR. Grannis first work in this line
was among the steel mill employees of
Western Pennsylvania, where the day
of rest was unknown Now thousands
of these employees enjoy the Sabbath
as a day of rest,
And while he comes here to large
extent under the auspices of the postal
employees of Everett, his work is in
the interest of all who labor.
The lecture is free,

RESISTED
THE BRIBE
EDITOR OF MINERS MAGA-
ZINE PAYS PRESIDENT SAM
UEL GOMPERS A GLOWING
TRIBUTE.

The testimony of Mulhall before a
congressional committee was tribute
to the integrity of Samuel Gompers.
Mulhall declared that there was a
fund of $4,000 and lucrative posi-
tion for the president of the American
Federation of Labor, provided that he
listened to the siren song of a Ma
tionsl Manufacturers association, but
according to Mulhall the aggregation
of exploiters with their b1ibe money
and the promise of a fat salary failed
to reach the man whom they yearned
to debauch with Judas money.
The editor of the Miners Magazine,
as well as thousands of other men in
the labor movement, do not coincide
with the policies advocated by the
president of the American Federation
of Labor, but when Samuel Gompers
shows, through the testimony of a
paid agent of the enemies of labor,
that he has the manhood and the
honor to spurn "the mess of pottage"
to remain loyal to the down-trodden
and oppressed, we can pay our tribute
of respect to him, even though we
feel at times that he is pursuing a
course that is retarding the progress
of the labor movement.
No man is infallible, and neither is
Samuel Gompers. To be human is to
err. We can overlook the mistakes
of the head far easier than the mis-
takes of the heart, and the fact that
Samuel Gompers has proven invulner-
able to the bribes of moneyed conspir-
ators will win for him the admiration
of men who have frequently censured
him for the advocacy of policies that
seemed to keep the labor movement
scattered and divided into craft and
trade regiments.
1t is true that men in the labor
movement sometimes become impa-
tient and chafe at the snail-like pace.
of organized labor towards that goal
of industrial emancipation for which
yearning hearts are longing, but phil
ospohy teaches that large bodies move
slowly, and it may be that some of us
who feel and believe that our tactics
and methods should appeal to the in
telligence of the working class are
carried away by our impetuous desire
that labor should throw off the yoke
of slavery and become freemen in "the
twinkling of an eye"
r But while we feel that Samuel Comp
ers is slow in scaling the heights that
lead to economic liberty, we pay our
tribute to him for resisting the tempta-
ton of Mammon.-Miners Magazine.

UNIONISTS SURPRISE PASTOR
OF CHURCH.

The members of the Building Trades
and Trades Council and local unionists
gave a surprise to the pastor OF the
Grace Methodist church at the corner
of Summit and Twenty-fourth, on Sun
day evening last
The union people understood that
the pastor, Rev. Switzer, was to leave
for conference and might not be re-
turned to his church here, and decided
to show their friendly feeling to one
who does not hesitate to take his stand
in favor of organized labor. The re-
suit was that the church was crowded.

HE'LL IN BUSINESS.

The Damn family, of world fame,
bids fair to lose its renown by dis
covery of the He'll family in the town
of Farrell, built by the United States
Steel corporation.
Members of the He'll family are not
averse to using their name in a busi-
ness way. The head of the family,
Conrad He'll, an ice cream manufac-
turer has signs reading: GO to He'll
for ice creaml" scattered throughout
the city. Another sign reads: 'Tce
cream from He'll is guaranteed pure
and cooling"
Still another bears the inscription:
"Have you been to He'll? It's the
coolest place in Farrell"
When a stranger enters Main street
he is startled by big billboard read
ing: Hell is here; don't miss the
place"
A block further down the street this
sign is encountered: "You will find
everybody there on a hot day; He'll is
always open"
The big sign which, however, at
tracts most attention is in front of
Hell's place of business. 1t represents
young couple eating ice cream and
the young woman saying to her escort,
Hell for mine; always"
