Then less of sun and more of rain, the nights

LABOR IS BLAMED
BY BOUCK WHITE
Saws 1t Lost Car Strike,
Advocating Industrial
Unionism

Blaming the failure Of the car strike
and the collapse Of the general sym
pathetic strike TO trades unionism and
It's methods Of organizing labor, Bouck
White yesterday pleaded with his con
gregation ct the Church Of the Social
Revolution 70 90 forth and preach the
doctrine OF industrial unionism.
AS depressing as it is 70 acknowl-
edge defeat, we must confess that the
failure of the strike Is an accomplished
fact he said. at IS time for us 10
declare that its failure and the break
down Of the general strike occurred
because trades unionism tried TO pro-
long il under conditions no longer or
anv avail. Industrial unionism is the
step the world should take. No trade
union Is big enough 10 fight organized
Citing the recent railroad strike as
an instance which proved industrial
unionism had superseded trade organi-
zstion. White said the power OF the
railway workers in Washington was
gained because they had been far
sighted and courageous enough 10
abolish their trade unions and stand
together as a united industry.
at was no largeness OF heart on tne
part Of President Wilson nor any
benevolence in Congress that made
them yield 20 the eight-hour law, ne
continued. "It was the strength OF the
hand which the cooperation OF every
man connected with the railroad in
dustry put over them that made them
act" -,
"Trades unionism Is, by Us very
nature. scab unionism. It Is based on
a nrinciple Of selfishness. Every union
man who worked in the recent STIR 20
helped TO break the strike by aiding
the master class"

were given no information as to the
hog kings whereabouts.
One deputy marshal laid siege at
the home of Edw. Cudahy, Jr. The
servants were instructed not to open

the newspaper stories of the sup

of a rapid drop in prices are nOt.help-
full to the boycott called by the
housewives of Chicago. For short
while there was danger of the boy

But after a rapid investigation Of
prices the boycott was on again in
full vigor. The Chicago Political
Equality league, the Woman's City

Armour, Art Meeker, the Swifts, the
Cudahys and other packing kings are

report that several prominent food
hogs are behind spectators of the

worrying in high circles.
Armour and other packers nave
within the past two weeks signed fat
advertising contracts with the Chi
cago newspapers. The contracts

Conversation

From Boston to the Golden Gate | rode a fast
press. Two women sat in front of me and talked
about dress. Two other women at my rear talked
all the while of hats. My heart was weary, and it
beat dirge against my Stats.
[ tried to read Of Jesse James, | whstled, and
sang, but eveore the talk of dress upon my earlets
rang.
Il do admire that shadow lace! the eager lady
said. When we had reached Chicago | was wishing
l were dead. The ladies had talked shadow lace
until their tongues hung out their eyes were wild
and boodshot, and they vainly tried to shout. And
still they rambled and on, in piping, painful
tones their paates clattered they talked, their
voices chilled my bones.
A georgette sleeve taken up vvisected then.
1t lasted till the Great Salt Lake hove to upon our
ken. The hats were booming in my rear, the dresses
front and right. In frenzy from the moving train
plunged into the night.
The walls within my quiet room padded like a
bed I'll stay till after spring hat time, and rest my
weary head.

boots were made.
At home the production of
hides has fallen off 80 per cent
In the past 10 years, while the
population has increased 25 per
cent.
That, at any rate, is what the
manufacturers tell the local deal
ers. Wholesalers are not look
ing for new business, and they
are cutting the orders of old GUS
toners in two.
There is another reason why
leather is high. Automobile
cushions and tops are made of
leather.
Tacoma people wear better
shoes than the people of any
other other. American city There's a
Tacoma is a city of much rain.
Shoddy shoes go to pieces quick
ly when wet. And Tacomans, for
some unexpected reason, have an
aversion to wearing rubbers.
Last winter was a partial ex-
ception to this rule, because of
the unusual weather conditions.
1t was the snow, rather than the
customary rain, which made the
rubbers temporarily popular.
The back east man, who thinks
nothing of paying $50 for a suit
of clothes, will buy a pair of
shoes with paper soles for SO,
and they will last him long
time, for the simple reason that
he puts on rubbers every time he
sees a cloud in the sky.
The same shoes wouldn't last
a month in Tacoma
Shoes in freak styles and col
ored feathers have gone up 100
per cent. That is, where a few
months ago a freak pair of shoes
could be bought for 50, they
now fetch $40.
The reason for this Is that
the dealers must charge for a
shoe which is in fashion now,
but may be passe week from
now. The freak shoe that has
had its day is hard to give away.
On the other hand, good shoes,
of standard makes, have gone up
in price about a dollar a pair. II
you are in the habit of paying IS
for your shoes, you must be pre-
pared next time to pay 81.

Mystery About
Auto Accident

Struck down by an automobile
on the principal corner of South
Tacoma, 54th and Union, at 1890
O'Clock Wednesday night, Miss C.
Cofield, 2S02 East r street, was
removed from her home to the
Tacoma General hospital last
night.
Her condition had taken an
alarming turn for the worse. She
was reported today as being seri-
ously injured.
Police officers are mystified
over the case. Detectives made an
Investigation all day yesterday.
They could not find any person
who had seen the accident nor
anyone in South Tacoma who had
even heard of it.
Someone reported to the police
after the accident that the driver,
whose name, he said, was John
son, spd on without stopping.
