TRADES
COUNCIL
n E w S

The regular Wednesday evening
meeting of the Everett Trades Coun-
Gil was attended by nearly all accre-
dited delegates and an interesting ses-
sion was held. President Marsh was
present and gave an encouraging re-
port of trade union conditions in vari-
GUS parts of the state, especially in
mining industry. Though work was
particularly slack in the coal mines,
the unions were strong, and much
good work was being done in the
smaller communities with the referen-
dunn petitions. ALL PERSONS HAV-
ING IN THEIR POSSESSION REFER
ENDUM PETITIONS WERE URGED
TO TURN THEM IN AT THE LABOR

Brother Martin, of Snohomish, was
a visitor at the council Being called
upon for a short talk, Brother Martin
reported that the shingleweayers were
well organized in Snohomish, and that
no attack was being made upon the
union by mill owners of our neighbor-
ing town, and none was anticipated
for the future.
Business Agent Robert Mills, of the
Shingleweavers, reported that the eff
fort to force recognition of the Tim
berworkers' union and to maintain the
old wage scale has been abandoned
for the present this decision having
been reached by vote of SO to 80,
with II members not voting. The en-
ergies of the union will be given to
the upbuilding of cooperative mills,
the weavers adopting for themselves
such rules and regulations as will best
serve their mutual interests. Only
three union men returned to the I'M
fair mills.

From the president of the United
States down to the scavenger who re-
moves garbage from an alley, PRE-
DATORY WEALTH demands obedi-
ence, the rebellion means the scourge
and lash of trusts and corporations
Here in Colorado, more than any
other state in the Union, does Privi-
lege flaunt its defiaA.ce, and the man
who dares to challenge Greed, be-
comes the victim of persecution.
The great coal strike of Colorado
has ungloved the mailed hand of cor
porate despots. The labor official
who fights battle for humanity be-
comes the target for every missile
that can be hurled from the batteries
of an invisible government"
The labor official, honest with him
self and true to his class, is met by
the rifle of the thug and the violence
of the procured hireling, whose degen-
eracy makes us forget the treason of
a Judas to the Prince of Peace.
The coal barons of Colorado have
opened the doors of prison and have
decreed that John r. Lawson, David
Robb, Louis Zancanelli and other men,
prominently identified with the coal
strike, shall become inmates of living
tombs.
The press that is owned by Greed
is smothering the facts and showering
it's encomiums of praise on the
agencies utilized to crush the cham
pions of human rights.
The laboring millions of this coun-
try must meet the emergency. The
summer patriot" and the Sunshine
warrior" may shirk and falter, but
men with red blood surging through
their veins will stand with their faces
to the foe, and measure steel with the
oligarchy, that sneers at law and
laughs at human rights, CARRIED in the
livery of labor.

A SOUND MONEY SYSTEM
BY THEODORE TEEPE

Just suppose you were working for
Uncle Sam at five dollars a day. At
the end of the day you will have
placed in Uncle Sans possession
wealth or service worth five dollars.
For this five dollars worth of wealth,
Uncle Sam should return to you five
dollars worth of wealth or service.
But perhaps Uncle Sam hasn't it in
his power to give just the kind of
wealth you desire or at the time you
may desire it, Then it Is proper for
him to give you a warehouse receipt
for five dollars. This indicates that
you (although your name need not be
on the receipt have given Uncle Sam
five dollars worth of value and your
receipt is an acknowledgment to that
effect from Uncle Sam.
You are in need of pair of shoes,
so you relinquish your warehouse re-
ceipt to the shoe dealer. By that ex-
change Uncle Sans account is squar-
ed with you but he is now indebted to
the shoe dealer to the amount of five
dollars.
The shoe dealer accepts your ware
house receipt because somebody can
use it for paying tariff or internal
revenue taxes to Uncle Sam, or for
purchasing postoffice service, etc.
That five dollar receipt is good and cir
culates because it has the potential
power of purchasing five dollars worth
of wealth or service from Uncle Sam.
That is the essence of a sound
money system. Barter is the immedi-
ate exchange of one commodity for
another and does not involve the use
of money. Money is a means of CIV
ing wealth or service in exchange for
wealth or service to be delivered at
some future time. Money is nothing
but a promise to pay upon demand
A piece of money may never be re-
deemed but to be sound it must al

tual wealth.
Uncle Sam should pay all of his
employees and pay for all supplies
with these warehouse receipts, which
would still be called dollars, and he
should be ready to lend them to any
body who has commercial wealth to
put up as security.
Under such a money system inter-
est would practically disappear. 1t
would be demanded only when there
was some question about the absolute
soundness of the collateral for a loan.
In such a case, the interest collected
would really be an insurance fee
against possible loss on the security
against which the money was issued.
Almost all interest that is paid to-
day is due to our use of the precious
metals for money. Our system is a
mongrel mixture of limited barter and
money and there is where the injus-

LABOR LEGISLATION OF 1914

The annual summary of labor legis-
by the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
which appears as Bulletin 166 of that
bureau. represents the activities of II
Legislative bodies in this field in the
year 1914. Four of these met in eX-
traordinary session, two of them en-
acting no labor laws. Compared with
the current year, for which the work
of 40 legislatures will have to be re-
viewed, this was an "off year" for the
majority of state legislatures, so that
the volume of output should be COM
pared with that of 1912, though the
number of extra sessions brought the
total of the law-making bodies meet
ing that year up to "a. The tendency
of this class of laws to increase in
bulk that has been in evidence for
number of years is manifested in the
fact that the "a bodies in session in
1912 furnished but 1877 pages of bull
letin text, while the II meeting in 1914
provided approximately 200 pages.
AS at other times, the laws relating
to the employment of women and chill
dren are most numerous, 26 separate
enactments affecting y jurisdictions
falling under this head. One of these
was the 8-hour law for women in the
District of Columbia, enacted by con
gress. If to this number be added
the factory regulations that are often
indirectly due to the presence of wom-
en- and child workers in industrial
establishments, the public interest in
this class of employees would appear
to be great and influential. Occasion
ally, however, a bit of regressive legis-
latiye action is found as in the Mary
land statute reducing the age for chill
dren in street trades or that of Mis-
sissippi fixing a lower age for the
regulation of the hours Of labor of
children in cotton and knitting mills
than is provided in other industries.
But on the whole there is a steady
advance in the states named, as well
as others, in the direction of better
protective legislation for the classes
Of persons who are, as the supreme
court has pointed out, in need Of spe-
cial legislation that their rights may

law was enacted in Mississippi, and
one was repealed by referendum in
Missouri, these being the only states
acting on this subject for the year.
The state of Kentucky adopted a new
mining code, and the Wisconsin indus
trial commission drew up a set of
regulations for the protection of work
men engaged in building operations
The subject of workmen's compen-
sation received attention from three
or four legislatures by way of amend
ing acts, while new laws were enacted
in Kentucky, Louisiana and Maryland
In the last named state the law super
seeded an earlier enactment which had
been entirely imperative, while the
Kentucky law was found constitution
ally defective before the date when it
was to come into operation
The Bulletin is in effect a supple
ment to the general compilation found
in Bulletin No 148, and Bulletin No
126 which contains earlier compensa-
ton laws, both of which appeared in
1914. The value and, indeed, the nee
essity of these continuing publications
as aids to anyone desiring to keep in
touch with the large and growing body
of labor legislation Is obvious.

THE PRESIDENTS MARRIAGE

Being President is a lonely job. Re can't travel or go into social life without feeling that he is a kind of lhippodrome, one of the sights of the nation which people pay excursion rates to see. So he must largely commune with his own thoughts. No man needs a, wife much more than the man in the White House.
 The death of Mrs. Wilson last year must have hit the President very hard. It would have been tragic I1n- der any circumstances. With the bur den of unusual and critical foreign complications on him, he must have felt with exceptional keenness the isolation of his position. The White House is a rather barren old build in, and to one who has lost a wife there it must have a, somber and eco ing Loneliness.
 The President is to remarry more quickly than some men, but there is good reason for it. Every one will be glad for the better cheer that it will bring into his life and will be pleased to have the White House emerge from it's shadow.
