Shall we pass it up, and let private

STEEL WORKERS WIN

BUFFALO, N. Y.-Employes OF the
Seneca Iron and Steel company at
Blasdel, near here, have won their
strike and formed a local affiliated
to the Amalgamated Association of
Iron, Steel and Tin Workers. A. F.
of l.. Organizer Streifler assisted
these workers, who have raised wages
from 10 to IS per cent over former
rates The victory is more than or
binary because the Amalgamated as
sociation has been attempting to or
ganize this mill for several years. 1t
is believed present successes will have
an effect on steel workers employed
in the non-union Lackawanna Steel
company, at Lackawanna.
The agreement with the Seneca COM
pany provides for regular wage scale
and the creation of a permanent arbi-
tration board to settle disputes. EN-
ployes shall designate one of their
number to serve on the board. 1t is
! further agreed that there shall be no
cessation of work during the delibera-
ton OF the arbitration board" and the
company agrees that there shall be no
discrimination because of union affi

MANS EARLY STRUGGLES

Scientists assert the age of mans
development 10 be measured in mil
lions of years, estimating that for
hundreds of thousands of years man
had not discovered fire. that the
earliest habitations of the human race
were the natural caves, that for other
hundreds of thousands of years man
lived without a weapon of offeuse or
defense. only learning after a long
period to fasten a rock to a stick with
thong and thus create a crude ham
mer, or with a sharp rock form an ak.
The early history of the human
family is shrouded in the mists Of
time but for the brief ten thousand
years or more in which the human
family has written its history, pro-
gress has been most rapid, compared
with the time gone before. On the
fields and plains of Asia the first la
borers scratched the soil to maintain
life, depending more upon the edible
wild fruits provided by an all-wlse
Creator than upon their own hus-
bandry The early laborers were
slaves. captives in war of the bar
barous chieftains who conquered their
fellows by their own physical strength
and then organized their tribes for
subjugation of neighboring sayages.
The early laborer was a war captive
condemned and despised One of the
oldest of mans efforts to educate him
self was the organization of the build
ers, who began by bending the
branches OF trees together overhead
to form rude shelter. In King Solo
mans time early trades unionism, then
/ Freemasonry, sought to cultivate
craftsmanship and spread education

NEED FOR ORGANIZATION

Topeka, Kan.-Writing in the
Daily Capital, Clyde o. Tessner makes
this point:
How is this for prosperous Kansas?
Statistics show that in the canning
and preserving industries in this state
77.47 per cent of the employees receive
less than $40 per week, 15.4S per cent
receive less than Sc per week, and
of those who receive less than $40 per
week 81 per cent are men and 2S per
cent are women and children Their
working time averages but little less
than ten hours per day. Are we not
badly in need of federal labor unions?''

BY r. J. Faussett
Attorney-at-Law

1t is a well-known fact that the pres
ent system has been inadequate for
several years past; that it is now and
has been for a considerable time past
so contaminated that the company has
been compelled to use about all the
hypochlorite that it viii stand and not
kill those who use the water. We
were told by Mr.. McChesney's hired
agent, Mr.. R. H. Thompson, that this
hypochlorite is not injurious, and the
company's manager is quoted in the
Everett Morning Tribune of August
6, 1915, as saying: "Any one COM
petent to Judge knows that if the
health of a community is good its
water must be-" Will the company or
any one for it explain why it uses the
hypochlorite that it does if the water
is good? Please answer. But just
read what the Morning Tribune of the
same date says under the caption,
New Antiseptic is Discovered" Lis
tent reads in part as follows: "The
most powerful antiseptic known is
hypochlorite of lime, but it's use is in
furious to the tissues owing to its
acidity, and it does not keep" This
is the discovery made by two eminent
scientists named in the article men,
toned. How do you like that kind of
stuff to drink, Everett citizens? And
the company says to you, in effect,
you shall not own the present sys-
tenn; we will compel you to continue
to drink from the present system, and
pay four or five times what good water
should cost, and further, that if you
vote to own your own system, it will
keep you in the courts for seventeen
years or more How do you like that
challenge? Will you bow to it's die
tation? Or will you, as true Ameri.
can citizens, go to the polls on August
oath and vote to own and operate our
own water system, and thereby release
ourselves from the present company
and insure to our city for all time
abundant pure water.

| ask: Is this not going some? Re-
member, these are the net earnings
of the plant as shown by official rec
ords 1t is true that the taxes for
1912, 1913 and 1914 on the water plant
are to be deducted from the above,
but if the city owned the system it
would not be taxed any more than
our schools or courthouse and other
improvements are taxed. l believe it
would be a wise thing to have these
earnings going into the city treasur-
er's vault to invest in a system of our
own. Do you? If so vote on August
"a to own our own system.
WHY "THEY" FIGHT
The net earnings last year. as shown
above, would pay per cent. on more
than two million dollars. Do you see
why they are fighting it so hard?
The proposed plant, including the
condemnation and taking over of the
present plant, and building the line
to Sultan Basin will not cost to exceed
$1,700,000 and likely not more than
$1,500,O0O and if it costs $1,700,000 the
interest at that at per cent. would
be only $4,000 per year; then out of
last years net earning there would
be $21 900 left. But does any one be-
lieve that Everett will not continue to
grow in the future as it has in the
past? And especially if it is given an
abundance of pure cheap water and
power. Some one has said But you
are going to pay per cent on some
of the bonds. There is no such a
proposition, but rather not to exceed
per cent Indeed, it is more likely
to be 1-2 per cent. than 6 per cent.
Just look at the above figures and
see how the net earnings have in
creased since 1909. And remember, in
addition to the above figures, that
since 1912 we have been paying Stone
& Webster 81, ,450 per month for gen
eral management" - whatever that
may be. The writer asked Mr.. Nc
Chesney at the meeting at the high
school a week ago to explain what
this general management meant, and
we are still waiting for an answer.
The only answer is echo.

Before Audience in First Congre
gational Church State Labor
Secretary Describes Con
ditions in Factories
and Mines

During the vacation of Rev. E. e
Flint, pastor of the First Congrega-
tional Church, the pulpit was filled
last Sunday evening, at the invitation
of the pastor and congregation, by
Charles Perry Taylor, of Tacoma, sec
retary of the Washington State Fed
Grafton of Labor, who has been in
Everett for few weeks aiding the
Trades Council and its Labor Forward
Movement committee. Secretary Tay-
lor gave a general address on the
subject of labor organizations and
their objects, but paid particular at
tention to the evils of child labor in
America, stating that few people were
generally aware of the great extent
to which child labor had grown in
modern industrial life. A large num-
Der Of Everett trade unionists attend
ed the evenings services, accepting
the kind invitation of the pastor to
feel welcome in the church. Mr.. Tay-
lor's address in part follows:
In presenting to you this evening,
my friends, brief discussion of some
of the evils of our modern industrial
life, and the efforts of labor unions to
overcome and rectify unjust condi-
tions, I wish to tell you the story of
the man, woman and child who toll
that they may live, and tell it in as
simple and frank manner as may be
possible. We are a nation of nearly
a hundred million souls, living in an
age of great mechanical ingenuity. In
ventive genius has given US conquest
of the air above the earth, We navi-
gate the water below it's surface, cleo
trical energy transmits our thoughts
round the globe in moment, we speak
across a continent, and. discarding
even the wires Of the telegraph, we
communicate with our fellowmen at
great distances Truly is it a wonder
ful age in which we live, when man
harnesses the lightning, navigates the
air and speaks across almost limitless
space. We seem TO approach the
dream Of the ancient Pagans, who
longed to be gods and command all
things in the universe.

/ & Webster interests, and 1t VIII, when
it gets ready, bring in the water from
Canyon creek, and let Stone & Web
ster have the great power on the Sui
tan River. No doubt this is the plan.
The company and it's agents talk about
the cost, the fake surveys" and the
danger of laying the pipe on top of
the ground" etc. Were the company
pie good water and at reasonable rates,
Everett would long ago have had a
water system that would furnish an
abundance of pure water, and with it
fire protection. The lessor of the wa
ter company is very anxious about
the protection of the pipe, and wishes
it put under ground. He probably does
this in the same spirit, and for the
same reasons that he has as it is said
by all who have lived here in early
days, opposed the putting in of sew
er system when the city first under
took it; the same reason that he op-
posed the building of street car line
into Everett; for the same reason that
he has opposed many things that were
for the welfare Of the city, because it
affects his pocketbook. l have no
quarrel with that gentleman, but l
oppose him for the reason that he is
endeavoring to keep upon the neck of
the people of this city an unjust bur-
den-the paying of exorbitant prices
for water that is not fit for human
use, in order that his bank account
may be kept at a high-water mark by
the toiling masses of this city. How
anyway if the people of Everett
should all leave the city? Or better
yet, put in their own water system
