ERROR IN BRIDGE BILL
MAY BRING ON DELAY
Mistake Found in Measure Appro
priating Funds for New Aque-
duct Structure.

An error in the engrossment of the
bill appropriating 81 100000 for the
construction of a bridge over the Poto-
mac river "at or near the site of the
present Aaueduct bridge" wiH cause
further delay in the execution Of that
much-desired Improvement unless it
shall be found that the error may be
corrected by the engrossing clerk of
the House without requiring the Joint
action Of both houses. The mistake
was not discovered until the bill was
examined in the Office of the chief OF
engineers of the army, where it had
been sent for report in the usual rou-
tine before final action by the Presi-
dent.
1t is paIpably typographical error.
resulting from the fact that the amend
ments to the bill made by the Senate
necessitated a rearrangement of the
sections and failure to make the origi-
nal sections conform to the new num-
bers of the sections. The result was
that whereas the specific appropriations
for the bridge are contained in section
four, section six provides that "one-
half of the entire expense of construct
ing the bridge and its maintenance,
when constructed. including the amount
appropriated In section Ave of this
act. shall be paid by the District of Co
lum bia."

Work Among Colored People.

support for work in the diocese among
the colored people was advocated, it
being urged
That this convention cordially in
dorses the suggestion of the bishop that
the work among colored people in this
diocese should be generously supported
by our parishes, so that the appropria- =
tion of $500 per annum now received
from the board of missions should be
relinquished as soon IS possible. and to
this end we urge that the offerings of
the people on Good Friday should be
devoted to the said work among col
ored people"
The resolution recommending a bu-
reau of immigration urged that:
We heartily approved the bishops
views in regard to work among foreign
immigrants, and unite with him in
recommending that the board of mis-
sions establish a bureau of immigra-
tion and appoint a secretary, charged
solely with that work. and we urge
this as a duty we owe our country as
well as our church, for we are per
suaded that morality and religion fur
nish the only stable and satisfactory
basis for citizenship"

Refuses Appropriations.

The board of missions has refused
over 100000 of appropriations asked
for and needed to meet the require
ments of the missionaries in the field,
because II did not dare to increase the
apportionments on the dioceses and
parishes. The board has had to de-
cline to inaugurate an active campaign
among immigrants for lack of funds.
II has to be silent about the most in
spirational call for missionary work
for the preservation of the country's s
citizenship from the perils of irrelgion
| with all its consequences to the state
that this generation has heard. Not
the apportionment only. but much more
is needed by the board of missions II
| IL is to meet the imm Mediate needs and
opportunities of our day.

Bishop Harding DepIores
Lack of Fund for Missions
in Convention Address

An address by Rt Rev. Alfred Hard
ing. Bishop of Washington, was the
principal feature of the opening ses-
sion Of the twenty-frst annual conven-
ton of the Episcopal Diocese of
Washington, yesterday in Emmanuel
Church. Anacostia. Bishop Harding
outlined the work which has been car
ried on in the diocese during the year
and gave general summary of the
matters which will be brought before
the convention. His address contained
a record Of his official acts during the
past year in which it transpired that
he had offciated in seventy-two cele-
brations Of the holy communion. made
eighty-seven addresses and confirmed
,13s candidates.
A more generous self apportionment
for diocesan missions by the several
parishes anG congregations was urged
by the bishop. who lamented the fact
that the board Of missions had been
forced to decline to inaugurate several
important campaigns because OF a lack Of
funds. He highly commended the work
OF the central missionary committee and
urged that the recommendations embod-
led in It's report be practically indorsed
by the convention. Steady progress in
the work and in the construction of the
cathedral was reported The bishop said
in part:
The year that has passed since the
last annual convention will ever be mem
orable for the spirited mission held in the
diocese at the beginning Of Lent.
Among the events of the year should
be noted the very successful and help
full meeting of the Province Of Wash
ington in the synod held in Richmond
lsst November.
Il would urge a more generous self
apportionment for diocesan missions
by the several parishes and congrega-
tions and would ask that this be ac-
complished on the first roll call If pos
sible.

ROBERT II. MILLS
is NOT GUILTY

SO declared a jury in Judge Bells
court last Tuesday night Mr.. Mills
was tried for melting riot on Aug. 2S.
The judges charge to the jury was
fair. The jury was fair and nothing
unfair is left to be charged to any
body but the Commercial Club.
The Journal has said before and it
now reiterates that no riot has been
melted in this town by any one, or any
organization except the Everett Com
mercial Club and the mill owners who
control it.
There We're policemen present when
that row took place on August 2Sth,
they were in the thick of it, but no
arrests We're made What sort of a
riot do you call that?
No, arrests were not made until the
Commercial Club, thirsting for the
gore of union men, demanded those
arrests Their open shop hearts were
breaking because no Shingle Weavers
were deprived of their liberties.
The Tribune, the organ of the Com
mercial Club, is not satisfied with the
verdict Nobody expected it to be.
But very large majority of the peo-
pie Of this town are satisfied with it..

LAUNDRY GIRLS
WIN THEIR FIGHT

The Seattle Times of the 18th says:
"The first civil actions brought in
King County to recover from former
employer the difference between the
amounts received and the legal mini
mum wage of SO a week for women
more than IS years old resulted yester-
day in Justice of the Peace Otis w.
Drinkers court in victories for Julia
Welch, Rose Bishop and Birdie Mccoy,
formerly employed by the Model Laun-
dry Company.
"The services were performed in
1914 and 1915 and were brought under
the statute which provides that if any
emplOye shall receive less than the
legal minimum wage said employe
shall be entitled to recover in a civil
action the full amount of the legal
minimum wage, together with costs
and atorney's fees to be fixed by the
court, Notwithstanding any agreement
TO work for such lesser wage.
Julia Welch alleged that between
August "a, 1914, and November p,
1915, she worked siXty-siX full weeks,
that there was due her under the law
1894, but that she received only
$513.55. She was given judgment for
$SO45 with interest and attorneys
fees.
Rose Bishop said she received
$4OS,S5 for fifty-siX weeks work when
she was legally entitled to $5O4. Her
judgment was for $9515 and interest,
Birdie Mccoy alleged that between
October II and November 27, 1915, she
was paid $5425, when under the law
she was entitled to S63. Judge Brinker
gave her Judgment for $S.75 with in
terest.
The laundry company defended the
actions on the grounds that the
women were worked by the hour and
paid at the legal rate, that they had
accepted their wages without com
plant and had not asked for more at|
the time the services were rendered. 81

OF THE
CENTRAL BODY

There are many men in every com
munity who question the value of a
local trades council if they do not only
flout it as a wasteful expenditure of
their local money. These may be
roughly divided in two classes those
who are not familiar with the duties
OF the council and those who are not
satisfied, for various reasons, with the
actions of the existing central body.
Both of these classes have one point
in sympathy-that they refuse to serve
as delegates to the council.
The trades council, or local city, or
country centrol body, by whatever
name it may be called, is an essential
feature of our trade union movement
and to decry or attempt to belittle its
influence is a serious mistake. When
the dignity and Importance of it's mis-
sion are appreciated and delegates are
sent to represent the various locals
that are intelligent and sincere work
assumes it's place as the bulwark of
the labor movement in it's community.
The purposes of a local central body
are to weld into closer relationship
the local unions in its jurisdiction !;
first, that they may have the greater
influence in the settlement of any dis
foe hot viCt 1NCfN
ployers and the members of any af-
filiated local of the council; second, to
make possible to cooperate in the eX-
tension of organization; third to give
the opportunity for harmonious CO.
operation in the selection of men and
measures in a political sense.
When the unions in any locality ap-
proach their local trades council with
a clear understanding of these func-
tions in their mind and make their
attainment possible by the selection of
their most capable men, there is no
dissatisfaction with the work of their
central organization. We are but re-
ptdtlllS d u ulSlu Wu6u we WTIlG JndI
80 per cent of the dissatisfaction with
trades councils can be directly traced
to a neglect or an ignorance of the
part it plays in the scheme of trade
uniOnism.
The too common method of leaving
the responsibility of the work of
trades council to a few willing workers
is sure to promote dissatisfaction and
discord. l is a work that singularly
demands the untiring efforts of the
best men in the unions in order that
the best results may be achieved. This
is not written as defense of local
central bodies, but as an explanation
to the many wokers who are inclined
to underestimate their importance.
Let each union affiliated with the
trades councils send their best talent
to these organizations, and if the dele
gates will enter the work with an ap-
peciatiOn of its Importance and a real
desire to see the cause of organized
labor advance, they will quickly
realize the impetus that such a body
can give to their movement.-Labor
Exchange.

CELEBRATED THE VICTORY

Last night the Tacoma Central La

over the defeat of the seven referen-
dun measures and the constitutional
amendment. There was a banquet and
speech-making and a general all
around labor get-together The Of
ficers of the State Federation of Labor
were guests of honor.
If all the people interested in the
defeat of the Seven Bad Sisters and
the labor disfranchising constitutional
amendment were to get together to
celebrate their victory, what a free
domloving demonstration it would be-
And if they were all to stay together
what willingly, justly, happily gov.
erned state Washington would be!

JAPANESE AMERICAN
RELATIONS

We reprint the following editorial
from the Coast Seamen's Journal of
October II to show the trend of
thought among trades unionists in
California on the Japanese labor ques-
ton:
"While the Hearsts and their ilk are
crying for more big guns and still
bigger battleships to protect our
shores against a Japanese invasion
which they say is bound to come
sooner or later, the workers of both
countries are beginning to take things
in their hands and are commencing to
solve their own problems in their own
way.
Last years convention of the Cali
fornia State Federation of Labor for
the first time in history seated two
fraternal delegates representing a
small group of organized workers in
Japan. In admitting these Japenese
to the councils of labor no change in
policy was necessary. Nowhere, eX-
.cept III the minds OF professional poll
ltcIanS and journalistic Jng0es, was
1t suggested that the seating OF these
delegates affected the attitude or
modified the demand of Organized
American labor for the exclusion OF
all Aslatlc laDorers from our shores.
Ihese delegates from Japan We're vel
coined because 1t IS IN accordance with
the tenets OF international unionism
and certainly to the direct advantage
OF American ulonlSm to aid and en-
courage the working people IN Japan
to organize and better their conditions.
"A year has passed and one of the
two Japanese delegates who was in
attedance at last years convention
has again crossed the Pacific and was
again accorded the privilege of the
floor at the State Federation OF Labor
convention.
Delegate Suzuki reported splendid
progress in organizing the workers of
his naive land. He said the toilers Of
Japan had been inspired by the mes
sage of good will from America and
had resolved to follow the example of
American workers and improve their
own standard by organized self-help.
But the delegate from Japan brought
another message. 1t was in the nature
of a request to send trade unionist
fraternal delegae from California to-
the fifth anniversary of the Laborers'
Friedly Society in Japan, TO be held
in Toxic next spring.
The reason for the unanimous ac- /
ceptance of this invitation and the
general attitude of the organized |
workers in California toward their /
fellow workers in Japan are concisely |
set forth in the resolution upon this |
subject as adopted by the convention:

A womans battle against a man
who deliberately brings unhappiness
into her home, forms the background
of the action in William FoX's photo
play, Love and Hate" which can be
seen at the Star for two days only.
Madam Bertha Kalich, foremost
tragedienne of the American stage,

Stuart Holmes has his usual villainous

higher wages than $3.50 per day IN
the present condition of living, start
with right on their side. Necessarily
so. If they are treated only as brutes
for wishing the condition of life which
would enable them to be human be-
ings, then the public should and does
resent the treatment of them, such as
has disgraced he police department of
Bayonne.
The American people simply must
get at the fundamental economic
causes of such industrial disputes, and
they will do it in spite of any police
department or old-fashioned slave
driving overseers for corporations.
The labor journal. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1909-1976, 1916-11-17

The State, the county, the city and
the Commercial Club all maintain
armed forces in Everett, but we have
met no one who can certify to the
legality of the clubs forces. If the
condition does not change it is to be
hoped the state will call its forces into
active duty, or that Uncle Sam will
take a hand in the game in the in
terest of peace.
