The Federal Leagues threatened
invasion of the Bronx or Newark is
commanding much attention from the
officials Of the National League. and
it has been stated on good authority
that there is a plan on foot which
may result in some sort OF conf
promise before the baseball season
opens. There is a certain element in
the National League which would wei
come the advent of the Wards. OF
Brooklyn, into the National League.

the probability of new peace nego-
tiations. Much credence is given 10
the story, because it is stated that
an emissary of the National League
! lad a conference with President Gil
more and Mr. Ward at Pinehurst this
week. There is an air Of mystery sur
rounding the conference, and the Of
refuse to admit il or even discuss The
matter.
During the last few days there mas
been a change in the attitude Of the
National League toward the Interna-
tional League in its present trouble.
While the National League at its meet
ing a short time ago took no action
toward lending the International
League any assistance, il is said. hat
they now view The situation in a diff
ferent light and within a short time
il may be expected that the National
League will give permission for the
transfer of the Jersey City club to
the Bronx. where number of pro-
moters stand ready to build a new
park and finance the project
President Tener was 10 have met
President Harry ~ Hampstead. Of the
New York club to talk over the
Giants objection 10 the invasion of
the Bronx by Barrow's league. but
the interview did not materialize.
The fact that most of the club own
ers of the National League are kindly
disposed toward the international
League may aid largely in overruline
the objection of the New York clul
TO the project. President BarrOw's
! conference with President Tencr on
Thursday gives the international
League new hope that the Older
league will offer assistance at the
/ proper time.
The delay in deciding about Dlac-
! ing a Federal League club in ;hs

understood. by the fact that the IN
dependent league is having some
trouble in securing a site for ball

THE PROPOSED MUNICIPAL
WATER AND POWER PLANT

The Everett public is easy They
will stand for drinking water" year
in and year out that is not fit to wash
a dog in. And they drink it!
If the people of Everett have pro-
tested against the dirty water that
flows every winter from their faucets,
their objections must have been made
under their breaths. The present
writer has been heard from two or
three times, out loud. But no one
seemed inclined to help raise a hue
and cry against the plunderbund that
drink pure water in Boston, at our
expense, while we imbibe mud in
Everett.
ried very much over the huge profits
and extortionate rates obtained by
Stone and Webster from their private
ownership of such public utilities as
water, electricity, and gas-and such
gas! as bad as the muddy water! A
citizenship that would stand for priv
ate ownership of a citys utilities de.
serves to be gouged good and plenty
We can stand the gouging, if the rest
can. The amount of our wages is de-
termined by how much it costs to live
in Everett, anyhow. So we should
worry about how much the average
cost is. BUT WE DO OBJECT TO
SUBSTITUTING MUD FOR PURE
WATER! Hence these tears.
The workers of Everett are to have
chance soon to vote on this ques
ton;
Shall the people Of Everett continue
their diet of Stone and Webster's
liquified mud, as a substitute for clean
water, or shall they vote the bonds
necessary to construct a sanitary wa
ter system?
This is the whole question, boiled
down to the only point at issue: dirty
water or pure water.
Pass up that corporation-inspiret
bunk about "the cost" the "feasibl
ity," burden on the taxpayer" etc.
And if the Stone and Webster plund
erbund don't want to sell their made
quate system to the City of Everett a
fair and equitable" price-whateve
that may be,-turn your backs on then
and start building an entirely new sys

MOST WONDERFUL THING

The Woman's Home Companion has
evidently learned that the times are
hard, else it wouldn't print this Joke;
In these days of high cost of living
the following story is not without a
decided point:
The teacher of a primary class was
trying to show the children the differ
ence between natural and man-made
wonders, and was finding it hard.
What" she asked. "do you think is
the most wonderful thing a man ever
made?"
A little girl, whose parents were OBJ.
viously harassed by the question of
ways and means, replied as solemnly
as the proverbial judge
"A living for his family"
The labor journal. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1909-1976, 1915-08-06

that it will take harder fight to beat
all of these referred bills than it did
to simply refer them. There was no
organized opposition to the referen-
dunn campaign because our opponents
felt that it was rather a useful under
taking when 10000 signatures were
all that were needed Look out for
them next year.
We take it for granted that the
Joint Legislative Committee will di-
rect and organize for next years
fight. 1t has the experience, tangible
organizations behind it, and the con-
fidence of all walks of life. 1t is the
logical organization to carry forward
the work it has so ably begun.
Isn't it possible, however, to link
up with that organization, the pro-
gressive citizenship of the State of
Washington who think with us, SYM
pathize with us, and would cooperate
with us in active service? Just by
way of dropping a hint, suppose in
all the cities, towns and hamlets.
there was an organization of believ-
ers in direct legislation, linked up
with some state head somewhere.
which in turn was a component part
of the Joint Legislative Committee
Wouldn't it make a powerful propa
ganda combination? Think it over.
Within the past week several I'M
ions hitherto not affiliated with the

late. There is going to be the big

OREGON'S GREAT OPPOR
TUNITY

A peoples Land and Loan Mea-
sure" is to be submitted in Oregon
by the Central Labor Council of Port
land through the initiative. Its pro-
visions in brief are as follows:
First: To absolutely protect priv
ate ownership of private property, IN
Guiding the workman's right to EN-
ployment and to receive and own the
products of his labor.
Second: To restore public owner
ship of ground rent and collect all
of it in Oregon, as nearly as may be
practicable, by taxation for public pur-
poses.
Third: To restore to every citizen
his inalienable right to make 4 Job
for himself on the land when he de
sires to do so, without depriying him
of any right to work for a boss when
he finds one that is satisfactory
Fourth: To provide a system OF
state loans to aid farmers and other
home makers in establishing them
selves in Oregon
1t is safe 10 say that the last pro-
vision will not be needed should the
first three be adopted. In state
where every man is assured an op-
portunity to earn a living and will re-
ceive the full product OF his labor, a
system of state loans will not be need
ed, and in all probability. Will not be
desired. However, many cannot see
that far at present, and these will be
treasured by the loan provision.

STONE WEBSTER INTERESTS
ARE OPPOSED TO CITY'S
BUILDING OF NEW
WATER SYSTEM

The Stone-Webster interests who
have been fattening off the earnings
of hundreds of thousands of Henry
Dubbs in this happy hunting grounds"
of powerful corporations, known as
the State of Washington, are opposed
to the construction, by the people of
Everett, of a new and adequate water
and power system.
Naturally.
Also naturally, they do not wish to
sell their own dirty-water system to
the city, They are satisfied with con-
ditions just as they are. And they
ought to be, considering the easy
money and E-Z-Marks they have had
to deal with up to now
The Morning Tribune shamelessly
comes out against the interests of the
citizens of Everett by putting over"
the kind Of dope on this proposed
that the predatory interests are will
ing to pay for, in one way or another.
One would like to believe that no
one nowadays pays any serious atten-
ton to the daily papers attitude on
any public question, since they are
all known to be but the mouth-pieces
of the particular group of capitalists
and politicians whose interests any
one of them was established to serve
None of them are entirely dependent
upon the dear public for support
Back of the subscribers, and back of
the advertisers, stands some politician
or several politicians, and back of all
of them stands the corporation which
the politicians and the press are paid
to serve. Everyone should under
stand this simple fact by this time
Certain it is that no well-informed man
or woman would accept the editorial
statements of any paper, run for pro
fit, as a disinterested utterance. The
policy" of any paper run for profit
is dictated by its owner, or owners
or by some bank to which the paper
might be under obligations.
The policy" of our two local mouth
pieces of the Stone and Webster inter
ests has been, so far, one of "let-sleep
ing-dogs-le."
