PLANS FOR
LABOR DAY
COMMITTEE PROMISES ONE
GRAND CELEBRATION -
HUNDREDS OF TIMBER
WORKERS TO BE IN LINE.

Now that the Fourth of July is over
with, the next big attraction on the
card is Labor Day. The Commercial
Club has set the labor boys some
mark to shoot at but the boys say they
are not afraid of being outdone They
will crowd into one big day enough
stunts to ordinarily fill two or three
There will be the usual parade, aug
mented this year by the presence in
line of a thousand or more timber
workers, taken into the union in Ev-
erett and surrounding towns since
the first of March. The sports and
exercises will probably be pulled off
at Robbins Park, negotiations being on
for those grounds. At this weeks
meetings of the general committee
subcommittee are to be appointed to
handle the various details of the cele-
bration and from now on hard work
will be the rule.

SION.

Bert Webster is in Seattle this
week, representing the local union af
theatrical employees at the convention
of the organization. Many matters of
Importance are being considered by
the delegates, among them being that
of closer affiliation with the Ameri-
can Federation of Musicians. Presi-
dent Webber of the Federation of
Musicians is in attendance at the con-
vention. Excursions to other cities,
automobile rides about the city, re-
ceptions and banquets are marking
the social side of the gathering. This
country is at its best at this time of
year and the delegates were peculiarly
fortunate in choosing Seattle as their
meeting place.

The Everett Chautauqua now being

est violinists in the world. The White
City Band of Chicago which appears

KLA-HOW-YAH
A SUCCESS
EVERETT PULLS OFF CLEAN
EST CELEBRATION IN THE
STATE-CoMMERCIAL CLUB
TO BE CONGRATULATED.

From all accounts Everett pulled off
the cleanest Fourth of July celebra-
tion of any Puget Sound city. Those
attending celebrations in other towns
are complaining bitterly of graft and
mismanagement. Especially is this
true of those attending the races in
Tacoma The only things occurring
to mar our own festivities was the in
ability of the restaurants to feed the
crowds and this was because the ca
terers did not dream that they would
be faced with the contract of feeding
quite so many people. The various
entertainment features were pulled off
on schedule, good management char
acterizing them throughout. Everett's
visitors went away with warm feel
ings for this city and vow to return
again at the first opportunity The
Commercial club, which bore the brunt
of the undertaking, is to be congratu-
lated upon it's unqualified success.

Brantford, Ontario, Canada, July 10.

work on jobs for the Westinghouse

strike at Hamilton, as they could not
see their way to act as strike-break-

AS q result the molders are on strike
at three foundries. The most signifi-
cant action, however, in this instance
is that all of the non-union men came
out with the union molders.

NO ARRESTS IN JACKSON.
VILE MURDER CASES

Jacksonville, Dec. 26. County Of
J ficers have run down every clue
which they turned up in connection
with the death of Deputy Sheriff Pc
! der Johnson, and still the murderer
is at large, lie has bafhed every
effort OF the sheriff's men to bring
him into their hands. Clue after
clue has excited the officers but only
panned out like the rest.
The police department, however, is
getting warm on the chase and the
detective department is working sew
eral angles of the clues as to the
desperado's whereabouts and may
meet with better success than the
county officers. Every effort will be
extended by Chief Roach to bring
the negro in and if necessary every
man on the force will be used in
catching him. The sheriff's office
is still puzzled over the death Of the
two negroes who were found dead in
their burned cabin near Phillips Sta
ton. No arrests have been made in
the case. Some people who saw the
burned cabin and the charred re-
mains of the men say mystery" but
others say "plain murder" Near
the bed in which the bodies were
founl were two axe blades, the han
dies of the axes having been burned
off.
