THAT EIGHT-HOUR DAY
FIGHT.

A suggestion has been made that
business men of this city offer as an
inducement to the Sumner Iron Works
to relocate here a 100000 subscrip-
ton of it's stock. They do not want
to lose permanently from the city the
big industrial plant. 1t strikes us that
it would be a wise precaution on the
part of investors to endeavor to bring
about the plants operation, if it is re-
builded in this city, on an eight-hour
day basis. The unfortunate destruc-
ton of the Sumner plant by fire did
not end the three-year fight of the
machinists to establish the eight-hour
day. Machinists have habit of carry
ing on fight for an indefinite period
in defense of the eight-hour standard
and it is no uncommon thing for them
to fight for two or three years on rail
road systems and in contract shops for
the shorter day period

MASQUERADE ATTRACTS A
GOOD CROWD.

In colors that would rival Joseph's S
coat of Biblical fame, and wearing
grotesque masks of varying degrees of
hideousness, a big crowd of dancers
held forth at the Labor Temple Mon
day evening until a late hour. The
dance was a masquerade affair given
by the ladies of the Label League and
will be followed at intervals by vari-
Gus forms of entertainment. 1t is
planned to raise a convention fund
that may be available for the expenses
of a full quota of delegates to the State
Federation and State Label League
conventions in Raymond next January.
Fred Overman of the Typographical
Union won first prize and Tom Alli-
man of the BARRIERS the BOBBY prize
for gentlemen, and Mrs. Leo, first, and
Mrs Vingen second for the ladies.
AS Tom Cooley was one of the judges

the efforts of a good strong womans

A large manufacturer of non-union
shoes whose orders in that city had
heretofore aggregated over $4,000 each

cut to less than $1,000 trip.
We can make 1918 the banner year
if we will demand the label on our
purchases. Organize the women into
label leagues and agitate and boost.
Also let us resolve that our union
earned wages shall not go to non-union
concerns, as every dollar we spend
with a concern that manufactures
articles without the union label, is a
dollar spent to destroy our unions.

CLERKS ADOPT IDEAL RESO
LUTIONS.

We have heard of bosses unions"
before, but the one recently organized
in this city and styling itself the
Everett Retail Grocery and Butcher
Clerks Association" is the supreme
limit. The following from Thursday
mornings Tribune is about the richest
chuckle any bunch of employees ever
put over:
"At last nights meeting the clerks
adopted the following resolutions,
which each one is to apply to his own
particular case:
"I will be at my appointed place
on time every morning, and remain
at my work until the end of the clos
ing hour.
"'That whenever there is extra
work which needs attention, will do
it cheerfully.
/ "'That l will be extremely careful
about every detail of the daily routine.
"'That every minute of the day
will give to my employer the best
that is in me.
"'That I will be polite and obliging
to customers, no matter how uncivil
or overbearing they may be.
"'That I will concentrate upon my
duties in the order of their import
ance, disposing of each, whenever pos
sible, before attending to the next one.
"'That l will always do the right
thing because it is the only thing I
should do-not merely with a view to
ultimate reward.
"'That after I have deposited the
correct amount in the cash register,
I will remember to put the customers
receipt in the package"
We would suggest a few additional
resolutions to complete this scream:
"That I will never come to work
without my hair carefully parted in
the middle and my nails freshly mani
cured
"That I will gladly accept whatever
: the boss chooses to put in my weekly
pay envelope.
However much I may shrink from
the smell Of powder I will do my duty
should any labor agitators try to in
duce me to strike for better pay

my employer upon entering the store
each morning and will hold the door
open for him to depart in the evening.
q promise never to smoke cigar
cites, chew gum nor eat chocolates,
save in the seclusion of my own room.
"That I win never read the sporting
page in the daily newspapers except
on Sunday afternoon. because it might
distract my mind from doing my
duty to my employer.
'"That I will spend two hours each
evening thinking up what acts OF
brotherly love | may perform each
morning which viii further endear me
to the boss.

BALLARD BOYS
STANDING PAT

"he shingle weavers in Ballard are
wasng a remarkable fight for the in
ternational minimum scale They are
now ending their fifth week of the
struggle with no sign of a break in a
the ranks of the strikers. At the be-
ginning of the trouble both employers
and employees underestimated the re-
| sources of their opponents. 1t was
| thought by both sides that the strike
could not last more than two or three
weeks, but it is still going on as de-
| terminedly as ever. Previous strike
experiences in Ballard did not war
rant the belief that the weavers would
show the sticking qualities that they
| have, and the length of the strike with
its unity of purpose and action on the
part of the weavers has been reve-
| lation. The strike has been marked
on the part of the weavers by an abso-
! lutte avoidance of violence, a system
attic picketing of the plants, and splen-
did discipline. The police have kept
their hands off, there being no need
for any action on their part, and the
boys nave won the sympathy of the
public by their manly stand.
The millmen have built their usual
| bull-pens, secured the country for men,
employed all their well-known tactics,
With barren results. Not enough
skilled men have been secured to op-
crate one fair-sized mill to full ca
pacity and they are in admittedly des-
perate straits. Their only hope is
that they can stampede the strikers
back to their jobs, but the weavers
show no signs of stampeding
1t is a remarkable strike and a COM
plete answer to the oft-repeated
charge that the Ballard weavers have
no fighting spirit. There can be but
one end if the weavers hold out little
longer and that is surrender on the
part of the millmen. The weavers
! have been wise enough to raise but
one issue and to refuse to be side
tracked from that issue The interna-
tional minimum wage scale is the only
issue involved and when the employ
ers agree to that the strike is off
! There is no reason on earth why the
Ballard millmen should be allowed to
pay a lesser scale than is being paid
in every other part of the state. 1t is
competitive advantage over other
mill men which they have no right to
have, TO say nothing Of the weavers'
lease. A ten per cent advantage in the
wage scale in favor of Ballard mill
men means a ten per cent advantage
in the log market or on a declining
shingle market.
stubborn as they are we are conf
dent that Ballard manufacturers will
soon be brought to terms and placed
on an equal footing with shingle man.

My dear Madam-I do not wonder
that you are confused and have lost
