FISH TRAP MEN
TN HOT WATER

The ''sawdust ring" and the fish
state for many years but all signs
point to a decided change in condi-
tions. The isolence and dominating
influence of the fish trust in this
state has been matter of common
knowledge. 1t was the fish trust
that was successful in having the
eight hour law for women SC framed
as to exclude females working in
canneries from it's provisions. Had
that exception, not been made, no
eight hour law would have been
passed, so strong were the fishing in
terests in the legislature, led by
House Leader E. A. Sims.
Not content with shaping legisla-
ton to further their own interests,
the fish men went so far as to break
with impunity existing laws. There
is a law forbidding traps in water
over siXty-five feet in depth. Several
traps were found to be over that
depth and their owners begged to be
let alone until after the big quad
rennial run which is now on. They
promised to change the locations
next season." forgetting that they
had plenty of time before the present
run began to drive their traps within
the required depths. Fish Commits
sioner Darwin notified the law vio-
lators that they would have to move
their locations and was upheld by
Governor Lister At conference
of fish men held in Seattle, accord
ing to newspaper report, it was de-
cided to obey the law and hurry up
orders for piling and drivers was
made Thirty days was given them
in which to do the work. The thirty
days has expired and it appears that
several trap men have made no move
was upto Darwin and three traps
were siezed a few days ago and war
rants issued for their owners arrest.
1t is further reported that Governor
Lister will back up Commissioner Oar
win in his latest move, being fully
determined that big law violators will
receive no more consideration than
the little ones.
Troublous times seem to be in store
for the fishing interests that have held
themselves to be above the law and
a great big chuckle may be heard
going up from Mr.. Average Citizen.
Here's hoping that Governor Lister
stands pat

BARTENDERS BEAT GOLD
BAR?

A special car on last Sunday morn
ing's Great Northern overland car
ried members of the Everett Barten-
ders' Union and their friends to Gold
Bar for days outing Basket
lunches, fishing and baseball game
were the chief attractions. The Gold
Bar baseball team and picked team
from the bartenders We're slated for
an ENHANCEMENT on the diamond and
those present swear that he game
came off on schedule and that the
bartenders won. There seems to be
a peculiar reticence about recOunting
the details of the game and several
alleged scores have been given as the
correct one. The Journal man has
been unable to sleuth out the real
dope of that contest but must take the
report that it was some game" The
crowd returned TO Everett Sunday
evening.

MRS. HEADLEE
IN The CITY
INVESTIGATE VIOLATIONS OF
THE EIGHT-HOUR LAW
DEPARTMENT is HANDI-
CAPPED FOR FUNDS.

Mrs Francis X. Headlee, deputy
labor commissioner, was in the city
during the week, checking up reported
violations of the women's eight-hour
law and investigating working condi-
tions surrounding girl and women
workers. Mrs. Headlee is now in her
position, having only been in office
a few months, but is determined that
the laws as they affect females shall
be rigidly observed She reported
that on the whole employers of Ev-
erett were obeying the law but that
occasional infractions were reported.
The most trouble seemed to come
from individual employers who were
prone to work the girls overtime and
thought that there could be no harm
in such infraction Mrs. Headlee
pointed out that it was easy to stretch
few minutes into half hour or an
hour and that there could not be one
law for one employer and a different
law for another, If the law is winked
at on one occasion it has the tendency
to make the employer bolder and soon
a condition might arise which would
be intolerable.
The effectiveness of Mrs. Headlees
department is handicapped by reason
of a small appropriation made by the
last legislature. Only a thousand
dollars was appropriated for expenses
for the biennium. This amounts to
about forty dollars a month for trav-
cling and hotel expenses and it is
plain to be seen that such amount
is ridiculously small To make the
work effective she needs tn cooper
alton of labor organizations, women's
clubs and other agencies who are in
terested in seeing the statutes pro-
tecting women wage earners enforced.

COUNTY ATTORNEY
SCHOULD INVESTIGATE
EVERETT COMBINE

Denver, Aug. 14.-Thirty-four mem
bers of the Laundrymen's association
in Denver have been indicted by the
grand jury for forming an illegal COM
bination and will be tried at the Sep
tember term of the district court.
The charge is that since the consolid-
alton of these laundries prices have
been boosted from Is per cent to 15O
per cent. A similar local combine was
formed in 1908, and was dissolved by
order of the court, Notwithstanding
the great increase paid by the custom
ers, there was never any disposition
shown to advance wages, and many
girls were being compelled to work
for S4 and $5 per week.

The good old Summer time has gone
And Winters drawing near.
Mosquitoes flies and many bugs
VIII now soon disappear.
And bullfrogs In the ponds around
VIII shortly close their eyes.
Wen soon be eating buckwheat cakes
And mince and pumpkin pies.
Openings now are all the 60
At nearly every stove.
A suit of clothes for seven plunks,
Or just a little more.
And If the suit or overcoat
Should tear, or even crack,
just pay a visit to the store
And get your money back.
AT least that's what storekeepers say:
II certainly is kind
They've suits for boys and hats for
girls
With feathers up behind.
And furs and wraps Of many kinds.
They'll need them very soon,
Especially for those who sit
Outside at night to spoon.
But seasons come and seasons 60
They seem SO very feet
II won't seem long when we again
See straw hats on the street;
And shake and nod TO all our friends
AS all good people do,
And hear these words from some
galoot
