accident TO the police. and was
told that they had already received

the driver was that the man stun

The car was travelling at a high

the man was struck down. Speed

facts In regard TO human life and
it's value as seen by some Seattle
steamship companies.

Sound steamer was drowned. The
accident Is unexplained. But sup
pose the crew OF the boat had no

have been an utter impossibility
for them TO have launched life

inspectors had done his duty the

No Room for Debate

Editor The Star: In answer to
Rev. $. Strong's asking for de-
bate on the subject of closed shop
| would like TO say there Is no
room for argument.
The employees are only asking
for what the bosses have already
got What section OF business men
are not organized in this or any
other city? Why are they organ
ized7 They have threatened to
break up all unions and the plea
for open shop is the first step.
But don't think for moment
the unions are going 10 give up ev.
erything they have gained.
Everybody who knows the least
bit about labor organization must
admit that the union has been the
only salvation of the workingman.
What would have become of us
without them? They have been de-
cidedly instrumental In securing
for the working class living wage,
besides getting better conditions.
The capitalist knows all that
That's why they are fighting.
