UN|ON|STS
OPEN NEW.
CAMPAIGN.

The Tacoma Central Labor
Council today set in motion an
open shop plan.
1t set out to use the weapons
which, it claims, the members of
the Tacoma Commercial club have
used in backing up the Employ
ers' association proposal to en-
force the so-called "open shop"
principle in Tacoma.
A committee of five labor
unionists has been appointed to
carry out the plan, which is this:
The Labor Council is arrang-
ing to charter "open shop" trains
of six or eight cars once or twice
week to Seattle. There the
passengers will do their shopping,
90 to shows, get refreshments
and otherwise purchase from Sc
attic merchants.
To Get Discount.
The Tacoma committee is ar
ranging for an information bu-
reau at the Seattle end to tell the
passengers just where the vari-
Gus articles may be purchased.
Arrangements are also being
made with Seattle merchants to
have them give a discount on all
cash purchases by Tacoma pa
irons.
Ninety per cent of Tacoma
merchants are members of the
Commercial club" was the state
ment of the committee. today.
"Yet these merchants, while
they urge us to buy at home,'
are, as members of the CONNER
cial club, going behind the EN-
ployers' associations attempts to
bring strikebreakers from out of
town to fill the jobs of Tacoma
citizens and home owners.
Gave Club Support.
"When the Commercial club
was reorganized, the labor unions
of the city gave it their whole
hearted support. Now it turns
about and furthers efforts to
bring out-of-town laborers here
and protect them in filling the
jobs of Tacoma citizens.
I'VE intend to try out the
open shop idea of buying in Sc
attic until the merchants who are
members of the Commercial club
come to reason, or those members
who are not in sympathy with the
clubs action to force a change in
its attitude"

THREE WIVES ARE
SISTERS, HUSBANDS
ALL ARE BROTHERS

One of the oldest relationships
on record in Tacoma is disclosed
by the visit of Mrs. Walter s.
Hartman, of Bozeman, Mont,
with Mrs. c. s. Hartman, Maxwell
Apartments. The women are Sis
tiers, and their husbands are
brothers. And they have a third
sister whose husband also is a
brother of their husbands. All
three families have children, who
are thus double cousins of tive
other sets of children.

Ell PASO-El Paso is an Amer
lean town on the Mexican border
entirely surrounded by newspaper
correspondents.
You can tell the correspondents
by their brand new khaki clothes.
Perhaps the newspaper corre-

they should because the Nexicans
