SOCIALIST COMMISSIONER
EFFECTS MUCH NEEDED CHANGE
Eight-Hour Day Obtained for
Bridge Tenders.

Residents Of Everett who have
had occasion to visit the city dock
during the summer, have no doubt
noticed the filthy, unhealthy con
ditions existing thereabouts. This
is not to be marveled at consider
ing that it had not been cleaned
for three months before the So
cialist commissioner took office.
Beginning with last week the dock
will be swept once weekly.
All catch basins on Hewitt ave-
nue. and part Of South Broadway
have been cleaned within two
weeks. The North Broadway bas-
ms are being cleaned this week for
the first time since the pavement
was laid. The fall rains will be
easily taken care Of by this adj
vance work
Heretofore employees of the city
working on the East Side bridge
have been compelled to work
twelve hours daily. When max
ing changes in shifts this necessi-
tated a continuous twenty-four
hour workday. The twelve hours
has now been cut down to eight.
Changes of this nature should
convince the most bone-headed
worker that it pays to put class
Socialists into office,
even if they can't establish the CO.
operative commonwealth forth
with. Rome was not built in a
day.

GETTING READY FOR MORE
MURDER.

Trinidad, Colo, Aug. %, 1914-Com-
pany A of the Colorado National
Guard, the gunner and mine employ
ers who were largely responsible for
the murder and cremation of nine
teen men, women and children at
Ludlow, April 20, is being completely
organized and fitted with state equip
ment.
The excuse given by state officials
is that the federal government de-
mands a reorganization of the militia
so that Colorado can manage her own
affairs and allow the United States
troops to return to their barracks.
According to information received
here, this reorganization is not taking
place in other sections of the state.
Residents of the strike zone fear
that the state officers will attempt to
have the federal troops removed and
then turn loose the gunner and OPP
orators thugs as protection of the
peace" causing another incessant
reign of terror and possibly another
Ludlow Massacre"

TROOPS ARRIVE IN BUTTE
TOWN STILL STANDS-CITY
AND COUNTY UNDER MAR
TIAL LAW.

Tuesday evening in Butte, Mont,
finds ten companies of state militia
camped on a hill overlooking the city.
Two machine guns are helping to pre-
serve order, under martial law. Also
the first battalion of the Fourteenth
infantry (regulars from Spokane) are
now at Fort Hardison, conveniently
situated for quick action in case of too
much direct action" on the part of the
miners.
Guess Butte won't be burned, nor
dynamited.
Guess the workers would better
elect their own governors and presi-
dents, on a Socialist ticket, before
they try to run the country's indus
tries and mines under democratic
rules.

TOURIST REPORTS REIGN OF
TERROR IN GERMANY.

Socialists Issue Anti-War Proclamation
The London Citizen of August 10,
says:
An English tourist who has arrived
in Brussels from Cologne declares that
something like a reign of terror has
spread over Germany. Practically all
political clubs have been suppressed,
and it is considered a crime to ex-
press Socialist or even Democratic
ideas.
A considerable number of newspa-
pers have also been suppressed, but
by some means the Social Democratic
party succeeded in issuing proclama-
ton which, while expressing ardent
love for the country, condemns the
Germany military caste, as we'll as the
government in Berlin.
This, the proclamation declares, has
criminally made war on peaceful coun-
tries.
The tourist says that no news ex-
cept obviously exaggerated dispatches,
inspired by chauvinism, appears in the
newspapers, and it is almost impos-
sible to get news out of the country.

NEW ORDER OF SECRETARY
OF WAR WILL FORCE OUT
NON UNION MEN.
Only Citizens Of State to Be Employed
While Strike Is On.
Means That Only Union Mines viii
Remain In Operation.

All miners employed in the strike
of the state and must have complied
with all the rules and regulations of
the Colorado mining laws, according
to an order issued by the United
States war department and which has
already become effective in northern
Colorado.
This order sets out that all strike
breakers must apply at the mines for
work and must not be gathered to-
gether and brought in by the opera
tors.
The new regulations governing the
shipment of scabs appears in the
Rocky Mountain News and Pueblo
Chieftain in a letter written by c. l..
Baum, president of the Consolidated
Coal & Coke company.
Lieutenant-Colon J. Waterman of
the Twelfth cavalry stationed at Louis
Vile, made public the order issued
August II and which according to the
operators has been in effect since that
time in the northern strike field.
This order will prevent the importa-
ton of scabs from all parts of the
country against which practise the
strikers have complained since the
strike began.
This is the third order issued by the
war department governing the impor-
tation of scabs.
In the future, according to this order
no strike-breaker can be employed un-
less he is a citizen of Colorado. This
means that no scab can be employed
unless he is citizen of the United
States. He must either be native born
or have become naturalized under the
law.
If this rule is enforced it will make
coal mining in Colorado the staple in
dustry it was before the strike of
1904 At that tfme-the miners struck
for practically the same reasons as
today. The operators at once sent
their agents to foreign countries and
brought in thousands of men. The
English-speaking men, and they were
about rs per cent of the men employed,
were blacklisted and many of them
were forced to leave the state.
The men who were brought in dur
ing 1904 soon began to realize that
employment in the Colorado coal mines
meant only a condition of peonage.
Many of them became citizens Of
the United States. Conditions became
so unbearable, laws were so wantonly
violated, that they were forced to
strike for their rights as American
citizens, which guarantees them the
enforcement of the laws.
When they did this last September,
the operators tried their old plan all
over again, but it is believed that the
new order will prevent these future
importations of strike-breakers.

TROUBLE AGAIN BREAKS
OUT IN BUTTE
Miners viii Burn Town If Militia is
Called.

Miners viii Burn Town If Militia is
Called.
AS we go to press the capitalist
papers are full of reputed news" from
Butte. Mont. How much of it is true
and how much sensational stuff we
do not know. This much seems GER
tain:
The new (insurgent) union of copper
miners are strong enough to demand
that members of the original w. F. of
M. either join the new union or hit
the road.
AS the business men of Butte are
naturally opposed to the new more
or less revolutionary union, they are
backing up the conservative officials
of the old union. So a demand has
been made upon Governor Stewart for
troops to put down the insurgents.
Last Monday the war department re-
fused to send federal soldiers to
Butte until the state authorities had
exhausted every effort to restore law
and order and effect settlement be-
tween the warning factions.
The insurgents openly declare that
they will dynamite and burn the whole
town if either the state militia or fed
eral troops attempt to interfere.

UNIFORMED GUNNER ALL
INNOCENT OF MURDER.
All They Did Was to Kill Some Work
ngmen.

Think of the farce of it,
Twenty gunner on trial for MUIR
dering workingmen at the behest of
the mine owners and their tools in the
state capitol, and their being tried"
by the same bunch of worthless to see
if they were guilty of doing what they
were hired to do.
Anyway, here's how the press re-
ports the news:
Denver, Aug. 26.-The findings of
the court martial which tried % Off
of Colorado on charges growing out of
the Ludlow battle of April 20 were
made public today. All the defendants
were acquitted.
The militiamen were charged with
murder, manslaughter, arson and lar
ceny, in some cases the number of
counts against one individual being
high. In addition Lieutenant K. Elind-
erfelt was charged with assault on
Louis Tikas, leader of the Greek strik-
ers, who was killed in the Ludlow
fight The courtmartial found that
Elinderfelt struck Tikas on the head
with a rifle, but that the provocation
was such that the assault was justi-
fled
Before the verdicts of the court
martial were made public they were
submitted by Brig-Gen. John Chase,
the adjutant-general, to Gov. e. M.
Ammons for his approval.

ANTI-WAR PARADE
IN NEW YORK.
Women of All NationaItes March in
Line.

One of the most impressive parades
ever seen in New York occurred last
Saturday afternoon. Thousands of
sombre clad women marched in the
streets to the beat of muffled drums
to signify their opposition to war.
Women of Teutonic Slav and Gallo
extraction marched side by side.
A solemn portent, this, of the COM
drums will beat no more for the bene-
fit of puppits, bankers, merchants and
kings.

Mr.. Henry M. Pindell, who came so
near to being our ambassador at St,
Petersburg, says in his Peoria Journal:
ITO argue that preparedness for war
is the best insurance against war, in
the face of present events in Europe,
looks almost analogous to insisting
that the surest way to prevent small
boys getting burned or burning some
body is to equip him with bunch of
firecrackers and box of matches"

LOCAL EVERETT NO. / MAKES
PLANS FOR A BIG RED
WEEK.
COMMITTEE ON ARRANGEMENT
ELECTED.
Concerted Efforts to Begin Sept.

Last Sunday evening the comrades
of Local Everett No. / unanimously
voted to cooperate with other locals
Throughout the United States in a con-
certed, energetic weeks campaign for
new members and subscriptions to the
party press. OF course we all do our
best, day in and day out, to get peo-
pie interested in the Socialist move
ment At least we think we do. But
we don't The experience of the So
cialist parties in Europe proves that
an additional effort, a more determined
effort, is made by the comrades
through the contagious enthusiasm of
Red Week. A man can be induced to
get in and make hard fight for a
week who cannot be induced to do
anything as he drifts lazily through a
whole year of half-hearted endeavor.
SO let's all get in and help make
Red Week in Washington week of
triumph and rejoicing!
AS Comrade Katterfeld says:
"This plan of concentrated organ
ization work for one week has been
adopted by our national committee,
and the week of September to 10
has been decided upon. l believe that
under the conditions existing in this
state especially such a week of con-
centrated organization effort should
bear fruit abundantly, and that the
particular week selected is for us the
psychological time. / recommend that
we commend this plan to the COM
rades, and urge all locals OF both or
CARNATIONS and all individual Social
lists in the state to celebrate Socialist
week, Sept. to 10, with one grand
united effort for the upbuilding of our
United Socialist party in the state of
Washington"
Over one hundred and fifty thousand
new members were secured during the
RED Week" recently celebrated by
the Socialist party of Germany. This
wonderful success was not an acct
dent. 1t was due to systematic, psy-
Geological conditions.
This favorable condition exists
whenever a large number of people
are of one mind and endeavor to ac-
complish the same thing at the same
time. Only few of us fanatics" put
in ALL our spare time ALL the time
for Socialism. Nine-tenths of our
members help only on special occas,
sions, and constitute a great reservoir
of revolutionary energy but seldom
drawn upon.

ECONOMIC DETERMINISM.

The politics, theology and formal
organization of the whole world are
never so important as they pretend to
be. The element of material interest
in these matters gives them their
awful weight to contemporaries. When
we are dealing with a past age this
element evaporate and we see clearly
that most of the importances of the
world have no claim to our reverence.

EMBROIDERY ON THE SLIPPER
One Of the Most Effective Ornamental
tions, Though II Requires Some
Patience.

Few needleworkers have thought OF

pers, which is rather strange. Once
having seen such prettily embroid.
cred toes it is difficult to resist imi-
tating them. White satin slippers en-
broidered with a spray Of forget-me-
nots, or pale green or cream slippers
upon which seem to have been dropped
two or three scattered violets, are raw
ishing. 1t requires not a small amount
Of patience to successfully embroider
slipper toes. The embroidering must
be done with short needle, for there
is so little room to work inside OF
the slipper toe. Slippers may be en-
broidered In narrow ribbon instead Of
silk, which Is sometimes more effec-
tive. 1t sometimes produces a grace
full effect to have 1t trail about to
the sides OF the slippers. The new
tango slippers offer another opportu-
nifty for embroidery on their ribbon
ties. The ribbons may be embroidered
with single stemless forget-me-nots,
at a set distance apart, along their
entire length. If less symmetrical
design is preferred tiny vine may
be run along the center Of the rib

TO DEFY THE PASSING YEARS
Woman May Be Beautiful Up to Ad-
vanced Age If She Will Pay
Simple Price.

Often when one is in a hurry to
60 out there IS not time to manicure
the nails carefully, yet every truly
feminine woman is, or ought to be,
fastidious in the matter of keeping
her nails in perfect condition. A fresh
slice of lemon rubbed into and over
the nails will clean and whiten them
In a minute and will do away with
the need of filing and polishing.
A French paper tells me, in its ad-
vertisement columns, that every smart
woman must possess four kinds Of
face powder-mauve, white, rose and
yellow; and when she takes box for
the play she must also take box of
one or other of these.
The merchant of Paris insists that
the yellow decor Of theater such
as that named after the only Sarah
demands mauve powder on the face;
the Bouffes cry aloud for white;
color trials at the varieties have
SHOWN tnat powder winch Is c0uleur
de rose Is the best for wear, and in
the difficult light Of the opera the
powder must be yellow.
The middle-aged woman must keep
her heart merry and young. She must
refrain from indulgence in imaginary
ills, woes and wrongs and fondness
for too much self-analysis and intro
spection.
Look at life in its true proportions,
face troubles bravely, allow nothing
to dim your courage and you will find
that beauty remains far into old age
and that there is no regret for van
ished youth.
No woman is really beautiful until
she is ftythree-Barrie.
