Victor Murdoch, the Progressive
leader in the House.
Falconer got into the game on the
tariff issue, having several sharp tits
over the lumber and single schedule.
He believes that the immigration ques-
ton is one that westerners should
watch closely and says that congress
must pass stringent legislation on this
subject.
On William B. Wilson, head of the
new department of labor, organized
labor has a representative of whom it
has a right to be proud" said Mr.
Falconer 81 called at the headquar-
tiers of the A. f. of L., but found Secre-
tary Morrison away and Mr.. Gompers
in the hospital. l hope to have the
pleasure of meeting them when l go
back and talking over with them labor
legislation"
"The tariff bill as it passed the
House, WILL if passed by the Senate,
be approved pretty generally by the
people of the country. 1t is true that
there are some holes in it that you
could drive a team through, but that is
to be expected from our present sys-
tenn of making tariff bills. In my
opinion there is just one way to deal
with the tariff question That is
through a non-partisan tariff commits
sion which can make a scientific study
of the whole problem of tariff relation
to the needs of the country. The
tariff should be taken up and disposed
of a schedule at a time"
Mr. Falconer was congratulated by
many people upon his return to Ev-
erett, who have been watching his
early work in congress, and he goes
back to Washington with a host of
good wishes for his success in his
congressional work.

A WORD ABOUT THE LABOR
JOURNAL.

A voluntary committee from the
Label League visited the Bartenders'
Union Sunday afternoon in behalf OF
the Labor Journal, and as a result of
their visit the boys subscribed for
forty copies of the paper. The bar
tenders are a live bunch, one hundred
per cent organized and alive to the
necessity of keeping paper in the
field that will stand squarely for the
things that organized labor stands for.
Their example ought to be followed by
every union in the city. No labor pa
per in the country is a gold mine for
it's owner and the Labor Journal is no
exception to the rule The Journal
books, which are open to inspection
will show a narrow margin of profit
each month and it is only through the
hardest kind of rustling that the pa
per is kept in the field. The Journal
does not accept questionable advertis-
ing and no unfair" firms or person
could buy space in it's columns at any
rate. Some day organized labor may
so support its press that it will not
be dependent upon advertising at all
to maintain it. But that time is not
yet Advertising patronage depends
upon circulation. Again we ask or
ganized labor of Everett to do two
things, neither one of which is very
burdensome, but which mean every
thing to the life of any labor paper
One is to subscribe for your labor pa
per. The other is to patronize the adj
vertisers who use it's columns and tell
them why you are patronizing them.
Some of the unions of the city are
supporting the Journal royalty; few
not at all 1t is to those few we ap-
peal.
The Journal is under many obliga-
tons to those who have so Loyalty sup
ported it and takes this opportunity of
saying So The good women who have
given their time to its support deserve
more thanks than we can give them
and we trust that the example set by
the bartenders last Sunday will be
quickly followed by the unions who
are not on the Journal list.

legislation enacted that will aid the

WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON?

Just another word or two about
these Sumner bonds that are to be Of
fered for sale to Everett businessmen.
The Sumner Iron Works people are
on the unfair list of organized labor
of this city, have been for over two
years and will be for two years longer,
if they don't do the square thing and
concede to the machinists the eight
hour day in their plant. 1t might be
well to state again that there has been
from first to last but one issue in
volved in the Sumner Iron Works
fight and that is the eight hour day.
The machinists fight doggedly and
persistently for the shorter work day.
From coast to coast they have won
victories many, indeed, most of Them
after long drawn out fights. The fact
that the dispute with the Sumner peo-
mean that the fight will be abandoned.
Not by jugful.
Everett is a city of working people.
The patronage enjoyed by professional
and business men must come mostly
from the working class. While not all
of Everett's working population are so
fortunate as to enjoy the eight hour
day, yet that is their goal and the
sympathy of the workers as a class
goes out to the men who are struggling
against bitter odds for the shorter
work day. Are the business and pro-
fessional men of this city going to slap
that class in the face by making pos
sible a continuance of the fight against
the machinists?
If the Sumner people still refuse to
grant the eight hour day their new
plant will be built by outside labor,
floating class of labor that is here to-
day and gone tomorrow. Do the bust
ness men really prefer to give their
money to that class rather than to a
class of steady workmen whose homes
and families are in Everett? If they
do, why this cry of patronage of home
industry?
These things ought to be taken into
consideration in connection with the
proposed Sumner bond subscription.

STATE WITHDRkWS
 FILINGS 0N LAND
1t Is Supposed to Have Found Some
 thing Better.

Notice was received at the office of the surveyor general yesterday of notice of withdrawal of several appli- cations by the state for entries and for the elimination of other filings that had been made of unsurveyed lands. In this connection, the state made application for land that. if prosecuted, would have intensified the unfriendly relations between this gov ernment and Mexico. The land for which application had been made was so near the boundary line in western Yuma county that it was on the other side of the line. It was unnecessary for the surveyor generals office to take action on the application for withdrawal in this case
 The applications withdrawn are for the following described lands: Town ships and 1, range II west; town ships ? north, range and west; township north. ranges 6 and [ west; townships north, ranges G. and 10 west; townships north ranges 6 and II west; townships , north, ranges 6, : and west; town ships f south, ranges g, 10, II and F west.
 Application was also made for the elimination and withdrawal of the following: Townships north, ranges 12. 13 and 14 west; townships north, ranges F. 13. fl and 15 west; town ship F south, range east: townships 16 south, ranges ?, 3, 4, 3, 6, :, s, 9 and 10 west; townships r south ranges ?, 3, 4, ,, 6, z, 8. 9 and 10 west; townships IS. ranges ?, g. i. ,, 6 west; townships 19, ranges 1, and west; township 20 south. range 1 west.
 An unusual number of applications are coming in from settlers for land in the vicinity and east of the Ajo country. It is surmised that the pro jected railroad of the Calumet & Arizona Copper company from Tucson to the Cornelia mines has stimulated interest in that region.
