THE SEVEN SISTERS

Would you shield yourselves fro
swindlers?
Would you Danish graft and greed?
Watch well your legislators
And of their acts take heed
Listen to the story
That | now bring to you
About the "Seven Sisters"
SO loyal, just and true.
They're all of them good looking,
They're all of them well bred,
They're none of them old-maidish,
But just the kind to wed.
First comes a blue-eyed maiden
With joy our hearts to thrill.
Would you behold her features?
They're seen in "Blue Sky Bill"
Then comes her worthy sister
A housewife of renown-
To simplify her duties
And keep expenses down,
She calls upon the auditor
CA very wise selectiOnD
To do the duties erstwhile done
By the bureau of inspection.
Then comes another tripping in
Who says, "You shall not rob
You shall not charge the workman
For finding him a job"
A tender-hearted maiden,
The workingman to aid,
Says, First help for the injured
By employer must be paid"
A dainty little sister
Cries out, ALAS, alas,
Such horrible poor highways
How can the people pass?
Why not call out the convicts
And let them build good roads?
Then we can go out driving
And teams can haul big loads"
Here comes the Fisher Maiden,
A blonde, buXom lass,
With a score of needed measures,
And wishes them to pass.
The value of our fisheries
For us she would conserve
By certain regulations
The people must observe.
Now comes the last, though not tn
least,
And asks for recognition
And says, "She really thinks We
ought
To drop the tax commission"
The slogan that to us she gives
Is Just One Valuation
For purposes of fixing rates
AS we'll as for TAXATION"
These are the "Seven Sisters"
Each has her work to do,
We wish to have them all.
Now honestly. don't you?

From Augusta, Me, to Mukteo. Wn.,
from the Gulf of Mexico to the ca

class distinctions He don't care a
rap whether you are a trust magnate

a laundry worker, he makes you meet

root for the home team with the same
spirit, hurl maledictions at His Umps
with equal feryor. Whether its the
New York champs getting trounced by
the Phillies or the Back Alley Demons
whitewashing the Town Terriers on a
vacant city lot, its the same old game.
Just when the country seems on the
precipice Of ruin, the plutes have US

hour or two we forget it," Baseball
is a mighty good tonic for us. There
is lot Of evil and injustice in this
world. We struggle and cry out
against it and sometimes despair with
the seeming uselessness of it all.
There are times when we can't see a
ray of light anywhere and our pessim-
ism changes to something more NOR

baseball and shakes US out of our

great. And somehow. after such a
game you feel more like taking the
struggle against injustice where you

Conference at Portland, returned to
Everett Wednesday, we'll pleased with
the work accomplished at the Confer

PERMANENT BUILDING COM
MITTEE APPOINTED.

The Labor Temple Association has
received several sets of building plans
from local architects and have gone
over them carefully without yet ar
irving at a definite choice. The COM
mittee appointed to secure the plans
was retained as a permanent ways and
means committee and will in turn
visit every local union in the city in
the interest of the new project. The
union men of Everett can raise the
money to erect a building that will be
a credit to the movement if they
make up their minds to do it, and we
bespeak for this committee an atte0
tive hearing when it begins its work of
visiting unions.

EVERETT PARTY MOTORS TO
SEATTLE.

A party of eleven members of the
local union of Cooks, Walters and
Mattresses drove to Seattle Monday
evening to take part i'm the annual
ball of the Seattle Mattresses Union.
Seldom has the big Hipprodome in Sc
attic seen such a dancing crowd as
was present on that occasion. From
six to eight hundred couples were on
the floor at every dance while hun
dreds of spectators filled the gallery
From o'clock when the bell opened
until the Home" waltz was played at
. the next morning, it was estimated
five thousand people had paid admis-
sion. The entire management Of the
ball was in the hands of the Mattresses
and they handled the big crowd like
trained veterans Alice Lord is the
happiest woman in Seattle, as the en-
tire net proceeds will go to complete
the furnishing of the Mattresses
home and add to the maintenance
fund. The following local members of
the craft made the trip by auto, re-
after the ball: Mr.. and Mrs
Jas Gaffney, Mr.. and Mrs. Del Gaff-
ney, Mr.. and Mrs. Dan Werner, Miss

COAL MINES RUNNING SHORT
TIME.

Practically all { the coal mines Of
the state are running short time In
the Roslyn field the men are doing the
best, working about five days a week
In other fields about three days is the
rule, in one or two camps, Issaquah
for one, one day a week has been all
the time the men have been able TO
get in for several months past Just
how these men who in many instances
have families to support manage to
exist is past us That Jhey do exist,
putting in little gardens meanwhile in
small patches Of ground scarcely large
enough to turn around on and are
hoping for better times in the mines, -
speaks volumes for the character of
the men engaged in that hazardous in
dustry. But that any industrial sys-
tenn that operates its mines but one
day a week while a large part of the
world is shivering for the want of
fuel, is defensible, is to fly in the face
of reason. Perhaps if you tell those
idle miners that the reason they have
to lie idle is because they have worked
too hard in the past it might comfort
them but we doubt it.

STATE PROGRESSIVES MEET
IN SEATTLE.

State Senator ] E, Campbell was
one of the Bull Moose politicians at
tracted to Seattle Wednesday to at
tend the state wide Progressive con-
ference and listen to the Bull Moose
orator and leader, Medill Mccormick
of Chicago. He reports Mccormick
to be splendid speaker and that judg-
ing from the enthusiasm shown there
will be nothing to it but Bull Moose
this fall. The Social Service Board
of the King county Progressive forces
had previously endorsed the Seven
Sisters and went before the state
meet for added endorsement. The
state executive committee, while in
sympathy with the initiative program,
seemed somewhat lOathe to formally
endorse the measures because of the
fact that the rules did not allow the
state committee to adopt party planks.
1t was pointed out that all but one of
the measures, Fish Code Bill No Il,
were part of the party platfrom and it
would be inconsistent to take no
action at all.
The state committee then reaffirmed
its party platform, carrying with it
practical endorsement of all the initia-
tive measures proposed by the Joint
Legislative Committee except No. II.

TITION AND GET OUT AND
HUSTLE.

There are a lot OF good old notices
that | used to have drilled into my
Uranium in my school days. The copy
books were full of them and it used to
| fill my teachers with unholy JOY if
| ing school hours which gave them an
excuse to say: Ernie, as a punish
ment you may stay in after school and
write this motto two hundred times"
! Whether they elaborated or whether
! it was merely co-incidental, it matters
not, but every teacher I ever had gave
me one particular motto to hash over
after the rest of the kids were on the
| town lot playing ball. conveniently for
getting the parental admonition to
hurry home and weed the garden"
This is the motto, and every time |
see it | want to kick it in the face:
"They also serve who only stand and
wait" l never did believe that any
more than l believed that other old
chestnut entitled, "All things come to
him who waits" Things come to him
who goes after them, and don't you
forget it. Which brings me at last to
the text of this discourse: if you
want signatures to our initiative petit
tions, go out and get them. They
won't come to him who waits" and
you won't "serve" anybody by stand
ing around with one foot up like
crane, waiting. Remember what hap
pened to that fellow who stood "wait-
ing at the church? He probably be-
lieved those fool notices. Well, the
other fellow got the girl-also the
goat" of the fellow who was 'wait
ing" The fellow who is hustling for
something instead of waiting" for it
is the fellow that gets his stuff over
in the game of life. He takes few
bumps but you can't head him off from
what he wants. Now | don't know
whether l am getting this stuff over
or not, but I'm shooting straight at the
fellow who ought to be out hustling
signatures to the Seven Sisters, and
isn't doing it. There is story about
a Quaker. You know Quakers don't
believe in physical or armed force
They're all to the merry on this peace
program. One night noise in his
room awakened Quaker. He saw a
burglar climbing in through the
window. Grabbing gun he pointed
it at the intruder's head and spake
thusly: MY friend, I'm going to shoot
right through the window where thee
is; if thee don't want to get hit, thee
had better get out" We are shooting
right through the window where thee
is, Mr.. Sidestepping Union Man, and
if thee don't want to get hit, thee had
better grab petition and get out and
hustle.

talk so much about HELPING the
working man; give him OPPORTUN
ITY and if he don't HELP HIMSELF
he's NOT WORTH your help" The
great muckraker said a whole mouth
full. In this initiative program we are
backing we are trying to provide op
portunity for the people to help them
selves. We are not so much con-
cerned right now, about the fate of
the Seven Sisters, admirable as we be-
lieve them to be, as we are about the
principle we are trying to firmly

it better, the opportunity" to the peo-
pie to express through the medium of
the ballot, their opinion upon ques-

shirked his political duty, really in

people by their reasoning, The an

where the people when confronted by

settled it right. If the people can be
fooled temporarily by an industrial or
social agitator they can also be fooled
by scheming politician or paid ennis

The meeting of the Industrial Wei

body is to act on the recommendation
Of the conference for minimum wage
Of $1,000 per week for women EN-
ployed in mercantile, establishments in
the state has been postponed from
April 13 to Tuesday, April 21.
This postponement has been found
necessary in order for the commission
to complete its investigation in the Sc
lection of members for the factory and
laundry conferences, which will take
the first part of May.
The matter of selecting these con-
ferences has been found to entail ardu-
GUS work on the part of the members
OF the commission, inasmuch as the
wage rulings being state wide, the
different parts of the state should be
fairly represented by conferees who
are generally acceptable to all parties
concerned.
