Aladdin's Lamp is less of fable and
more of prophecy. Those accus-
toned to the slow growth of cities on
the Atlantic seaboard, can scarce
credit the story of Everett's wonderful
growth 1t is hard to note the modern
residences and building structures,
the smoke pouring from hundred
smokestacks, the hurrying crowds on
the streets, and then visualize the 'be-
ginning of Everett" short generation
ago.
Western pluck, western courage and
western optimism have wrought the
miracle. Nature did her part in pro-
viding the conjunction of soil, timber
and water. Man saw and linked
hands with opportunity and modern
city was the result. The Labor Jour
nal has always been and is today a

Poorly lighted, poorly ventilated fac
tories, starvation wages, long hours,
are what creates slums. We are free
of the slum problem and can remain
free if we will.
The Labor Journal has stood con-
sistently for the better things. In
fighting as it has for the rights of
labor it has fought as we'll for the well
being of the city as a whole. 1t has
been hard sometimes to espouse the
unpopular thing but the Journal has
never swerved and there has been a
compensation in the doing of what
was thought to be right 1t has never
criticised for the sake of mere noto-
riety but only that attention might be
focused on some evil that ought to be
eradicated and could not be until the
people saw.

Wendell L. Williston is president of
the Everett Trades Council and men,
ber of Everett Typographical Union
No. 410 He is an ideal executive Off
Ger from any standpoint, cool-headed,
tactful and just in his treatment of all
members of the council. He is serving
his third term as president 1t was
only upon the most urgent request Of
the delegates that he consented to
serve the third term, marking line Of
difference between him and the stren-
uous T. r. Brother Williston is also
finishing his second term as president
of the typographical union, so he has
had some experience in the presiding
line. And take it from us, 1t is some
job presiding over the prints. The
confidence that organized labor re-
poses in Brother Williston prompted
his election last week to represent
Everett at the immigration Conference
to be held in Portland next month to
be attended by representatives of labor
from all over the Pacific coast. In his
private capacity he may be found each
day playing the linotype keys at the
Everett Print Shop.

This handsome gentleman is M. T.
Altman, secretary of the Everett
Trades Council and a member of the
Everett BARRIERS union. We say in
confidence that the look of dignity on
his countenance was put there by the
photographer. Tom isn't responsible
for it, Tom is a thirty-third degree
live wire in the local labor movement.
Each morning as he crawls from bed
A smile spreads DER his features;
The night has brought some brand
new stunt
To aid his fellow creatures.
There's more truth than poetry in
that Tom lies awake nights thinking
up something original to pull off to
help the labor cause, and the best of
it is his plan generally has merit and
it works out. Being a barber, he is
never at a loss for words to explain
what he has on his mind. The labor
movement would go far and fast to-
ward its goal if we had a few more
boosters like Tom Altman, and that's
no joke.

ISTER.

Washington, May Ex-senator Ken
yon of Iowa has introduced a bill that
prohibits all former senators or rep
resentatives from acting as lobbyists

visions of the bill every lobbyist will

tary of the senate, and in addition set
forth his or her interest in pending
measures. A penalty of from $500 to
$4,000 for violation of the law is pro-
vided.

The Journal gladly presents this an
nual industrial edition to the reading
public. 1t is a we'll told tale of things
accomplished, a resume of things
hoped for, prophecy of things to
come. The Journal is proud of its
humble part in upbuilding this section
of Gods country and will be found in
the future striving for everything that
is square and honest in our develop
ment.

STREET CLEANERS GET
RAISE.

Erie, Pa, May 15-The city council
has concurred in the request of the
street cleaners for an increase in
wages from $1.60 to So per day. The
common branch granted the request
recently. The ordinance carrying the
raise now only needs the signature Of
the mayor to make the increase ef-
fective. The street cleaners of this
city are organized, which was mainly
responsible for the advance.
