MY ALASKA FAMILY

(By C. Edward Cone) You bet have family
 And l want to say right now, Just as fine lot of youngsters As ever pitched row. Eight healthy, hearty appetites Each with a separate greed, And now, you bet, it makes me jump To keep that gang in feed. Their dads a Mckenzie husky; Their mother came from Nome. And I'll just say that when that bunch Grow up they'll surely roam It will take thousand big, round plunks In good Alaska gold To buy those pups, you bet your life, When they are one year old.

SEATTLE, Dec. 21.-When the
laundry bosses of this city laughed
at their employees appeal that or
ganized labor be employed, the
latter didn't rant or go on strike.
They employed a far more eff
fective weapon. THEY BUILT
THEIR OWN LAUNDRY ON A

This marks one of the most
radically constructive steps in
organized labor's determination to
extend it's influence by means
other than strike and boycott.

Here the the great adventure
1t Is to hear music when one
hasn't heard sound in a life
time of 81 years.
To Mrs. Hilda Runkel of New

had spoken.
Until a week ago Mrs. Runkel
neither heard a sound nor spoke
a word. And she is 81.
One day last week she was Wis
iting her downstairs neighbors-
the Catallas. John Catilla had
fashioned homemade violin out
of cigar box. 1t is a fairly good
violin at that. 1t is good enough

Mrs. Runkel was seated. But
suddenly she aroses In her eyes
was a look of one to whom had
been given a great revelation. She
lifted her hand to her right ear
and then she pointed to the vio-

And thus she madeiit known that
she had heard.
Each day since her hearing has
improved. She is now learning

The result was that when the
laundry was ready for the INSTALL
alton OF machinery, tubs and 9TH
er fixtures. the union couldn't get
the materials to install. NOT A

WOULD TAKE ITS ORDER.
The union finally managed to
get its material through a Port

Now the employees cooperative
firm is forcing the other open

labor by furnishing better laun-
dered clothes at the same prices
the other firms ask. The triumph
has been complete, and a signifi-

organized labor in other cities.
