SEATTLE, wash, July "a bat

The Seven Sisters are seven
initiative bills proposed by a Joint
committee representing the State
Federation of Labor, Nhe State
Grange, the Farmers union, and the
Direct Legislation league OF Wash

bills by the standpatters who are
lighting them, but the hackers OF the
initiative measures were favorably inn
pressed with the name and gladly
adopted il themselves.
These bills provide the following
/. Amendment OF the workmens

when a worker is hurt, the employer
Is required TO furnish hospital and
medical treatment up to an amount
OF 800, in addition 10 paying into

4. Adjustment OF the bureau OF in
spection of public Offices. which II is
claimed is merely bureau to furnish

5. A law fixing a half mill levy for

6. A law fixing taxes TO be paid by
the FISH trust, which had escaped pay
ment before.
7. An act consolidating under one
