ICICLE RIVER WATER
COMING THRU PIPE LINE
Gty'S Reservoir is Filled Up and Water
Turned in Pipes tuesday
Afternoon

The judgment of the Mayor and the
councilmen who opposed trying to
open the pipe lines during the freezing
weather OF December and January is
abundantly justified. The repairs to
the pipe line were finished this week
at cost to the city of less than 500.
During the freezing weather of Decem-
ber and January, when the effort was
made and finally abandoned to open
the pipe line, the city spent some five
hundred dollars or more with no re-
suit whatever. The mayor and coun-
cilmen Wheeler, Schubert and Feath-
erstone advocated abandoning the ef'
fort until warm weather thawed the
pipes out. Then it could better be
determined what was necessary, and
the work could be done much more
cheaply. Experience has confirmed
the soundness Of their JUDGMENT. In
the meantime, for about two and a
half months, the city was supplied
with water from the mill company's S
reservoir at cost OF 1925 per month.
The repair work on the pipe line
was done under the direction of Water
Commissioner Tolbert, with the help
of four men, who completed the job in
just one week, at a cost to the city OF
about S85, he says. Some six or
eight joints Of pipe that were dam
aged by frost had to be replaced with
new pipes. He went over the pipe
line Wednesday afternoon and found a
few unimportant leaks which were
stopped without much trouble. He
thinks the intake line, with reasonable
care and supervision, will not give any
further trouble during the summer.

Labor Leaders Claim they Get Raw Deal

Labor leaders at Olympia during the
past week from different parts of the
state claim the legislative session has
sharply alienated the labor vote of
Washington, by. as one EXPRESSED it
playing into the hands of employers
and big business"
Laboring organizations object to
tacking the emergency clause on bills
a habit the session acquired early in its
deliberations. They hold that placing
the clause where it does not belong is
a long radical step towards multiplying
the referendum, which cost labor hard
fight to obtain, and which the emer-
gency defeats. The repeal of the
women's 8 hour law and substituting a
10 hour day therefor is another bitter
pill for the laboring organizations. The
Croft bill prohibiting the grange, labor
or similar organizations from pledging
candidates, previous to an election, to
support or to oppose any measure is
another inimical labor enactment. Still
another black eye for labor unions is
the measure prohibiting picketing in
cases OF lockouts and strikes. The leg
islature also got in heavy body blow
against labor in the rejection Of the
first aid measure. The turning
down Of the free employment measure
is also antagonistic to labor, so labor
ing men declare. But the amending
Of the initiative, recall and referendum
measures labor has found, as the Bard
Of Avon would put it, the most un-
kindest cut Of ALL" On top of all
came the repeal Of the full crew bill,
as the very head and front Of legisla-
ton offending against labor.

The shingle mills of Everett have
decided to operate their plants in the
future on an open shop basis, beginning
this week. Announcements to this
effect were posted last week. The
companies declare that henceforth they
will employ only such men as they
please, whether organized or unorgan
lied, and will discharge their laborers
when, in their judgment, such course
is necessary. All work is to be done
as directed by those in authority and
disobedience Of instructions will cause
discharge. Hiring Of men will be only
on the basis Of efficiency.
