URGE INCREASED WAGES

Washington. Increased wages for
charwomen and laborers in the Gus
todian service of the government was
urged by Secretary Flaherty of the
National Federation of Postoffice
Clerks and President Ainsworth of the
A. F. of L. Federal Labor union of
civil service employees of San Fran
cisco, before the house committee on
appropriations. The unionists asked
that each of the 852 charwomen, who
now receive $500 yearly, be increased
$40 monthly, and that an $840 yearly
minimum be established for custodian
laborers and janitors There are 5000
in the custodian service
now receiving less than $840 1t was
stated that the government was most
liberal in fitting up federal buildings
with ornamental doors and expensive
while employees doing the
tasks are neglected.

Something About the Organized Forces
That Will Direct Opposing Sides
of the Initiative and Referendum
Campaign This Year

against the unions in every recent
strike of any magnitude. It's hypo-
critical attitude may be best summed
up in an address delivered by one
of its officials in a recent meeting of
the association The gentleman said
they were not opposed to trade unions
as such, only the bad unions which
waged strikes and committed violence.
In the next breath he attacked vic
iously the union label Of the typo
graphical union. The typographical
mind you, one Of the most conserva-
tive unions on earth, which does bust
ness everywhere under the trade
agreement, arbitration plan, and a
union which rarely becomes involved
in a strike.
The part played by the association

ture ought to fix its status. It's

and several of its prominent officers
and members were frequently on duty,

MUST HAVE DAY OFF

Harrisburg, Pa, - The Industrial
board Of the state department of labor
has refused the request of hotels and
institutions in Pennsylvania employing
more than 10 women to exempt them
from the law which provides for
complete day of rest each week for
their employees
The industrial board included this
tart statement in its refusal:
Most of them Gnstitutions) are sup
posed to be doing a service to human
ity; many are maintained by state
aid and private charitable funds. And
in the disposition of these funds they
are supposed to seek the greatest good
of all, including their employees
Being Entrusted with funds for
beneficiary and religious work. they
should so cooperate these funds as to
benefit all connected with their oper-
aton; and because of the high ideal
ism in the founding of such institu-
tions they should be the foremost to
establish ideal labor relations.
Estate institutions, especially, should
lead in observing state laws"

A CALL TO YOU!
WANTED FOR
INITIATIVE PETITIONS
CALL Al LABOR TEMpI


During the next sixty days every
citizen of Everett must be given an
opportunity to sign initiative petitions.
The initiative law forbds the pay
ment or promise of payment to any
persons circulating initiative or refer
endum petitions. So W emust call
upon men and women to give their
services to this work without thought
of money compensation for the time
spent. 1t means that we must call
on men and women who have this
work at heart to give of their time
after working hours or during leisure
moments. 1t entails some sacrifice on
your part, but the end is worth 1t. II
you will call at the Labor Temple you
can obtain petitions to circulate in
your locality. Let US prove to the
reactionary forces who are trying
with all their power to discredit direct
legislation that the people are jealous
of that right and will never see it
abrogated The best way to do that
is to pile up signatures on these mi
tiative bills. VIII you help? Go to
the Labor Temple and get a petition
take it out in your neighborhood and
get it filled. You won't find it hard
to do.

5000 PAINTERS MAY
STRIKE FOR SO A DAY
Many Bosses in Brooklyn Expect
ed to Grant Demand Without
Fight.

Brooklyn, N. Y.-Fully so per cent
of the boss painters of Brooklyn are
expected to agree to the new wage
scale of S. a day asked by the Bro
therhood of Painters and Decorators,
District Council 20, which controls
Brooklyn. This will make unneces-
sary a strike of at least 5000 painters.
Workers in shops of the other so
per cent will probably go on strike
promptly at 8 o'clock Saturday morn
ing when the old contract terminates.
1t was announced at union head
quarters that registration cards had
been prepared for all members who
go to work under the new scale, on
whom assessments will be levied to
aid the strikers. The Boss Painters
Association of Kings county will prob
ably fight the union at the start, to
test out the strength of he organiza-
ion. Some of the shops employ as
many as 300 to 400 painters
The painters claim that the S.
day wage is not too mucn. They are
now working for s4 day. which rate
they won by short, decisive strike
in 1912. They claim that the increas-
ed living cost, higher rents and
clothing entitle them to 81 increase.
A painter works on the average but
six and seven months in the year
To work eight months is the best that
can be expected, it is declared. 1--WE
are practically working for lower
wages than the laborer who gets 81
a day" said one of the strike commit
tee. 1--WE can't exist on this small
wage and keep our families decently
clothed"
All union painters of Brooklyn
seem optimistic about the situation.
There are few painters in that sec
ton who are unemployed at the pres
ent time.
The painters won the eight-hour
day in 1906. They have a halfhoi-
day Saturdays.

NEWS FROM FALL RIVER

Fall River, Mass.-The Carpenters
Union District Council and a commit
tee from the Builders Association is
comforting on new wage scale.
Painters and decorators will ask for
a wage increase to As cents an hour.
Refusal to grant this increase caused
a strike, two years ago, which was
never officially declared off. These
workers have strengthened their I'M
ion and declare the new rate must
take effect May L.
Striking iron molders employed at
the Kilburn-Lincoln plant are stand
ing firm in their demand for wage
rates conceded by other employers.

PROSPERITY BRINGS
POVERTY


A strong instinct impels men to
secure for themselves food, clothing
shelter and Injuries. They exert
themselves to satisfy a yearning that
is almost limitless in it's variety and
intensity
In satisfying these desires, all
seems well in the early stages of pro-
ductiye activity, AS long as there is
but little wealth for all, opportunity
10 work is great but as soon as it
appears that We are well on the way
to satisfy the desires Of everybody
we ere told that hard times are at
hand and production must cease. Just
as we are about TO get what We want
we find We must take what we DO not
want.
No man in his right senses can anal
we our financial break-downs, known
as hard times, without seeing the alb
surdity Of them. II the production Of
wealth viii not bring universal wealth,
then what willo If We continue to
believe that the production of great
wealth viii bpng Poverty hard
rimes-then We may as well fence
up this old world and label it one
grand insane asylum, and adjust our
selves to such other facts as water
running up hill and the moon being
made Of green cheese.
It is time for the whole world to
declare its belief most emphatically
that wealth production should bring
prosperity and not hard times After
that, everybody who has an enthusi-
assn for human progress should take
a VOW to make an open-mtnded and
unprejudced study of the human be-
ing in relation to the production and
exchange of wealth. Let US see why
this great social machine starts out
producing wealth and in a year or
two produces hard times, instead.
Such a mOckery is a standing insult
to the intelligence of the human race.
This is a call for volunteers who
are willing to give up Indifference or
prejudice to aid in the attack on the
greatest Of all supersttions, namely,
the belief that men should be poor
ana idle in the midst of unlimited
opportunity
The years Immediately ahead will
be a severe trial to the people of the
United States Most students of the
situation are convinced that only the
very rapid spread of knowledge of
the fundamentals of economies will
avert disaster If two per cent of the
people could be made to see the arti-
ficial barriers that stand between
mans desires and his just opportuni-
ty to satisfy them, such an overwheIm-
ing sentiment would be created that
nothing could resist it.
knowledge will bring peace, pros
perity and civilization. What con.
tinued ignorance will bring is beyond
the guess of any human beng. We
have upon us responsibility which
should urge us to study that science
called economies, which may truly be
called the science Of human happiness.

(By Z. p. MARSH, President Wash
ington State Federation Of Labor
According to reports, the State En-
ployers' Association will direct the
fight against the legislative program
of the Joint Legislative Committee,
both as regards the seven referred
measures and the four proposed initia-
tive bills. This decision is alleged to
be the outcome of a war conference"
between employers from both sides
Of the Cascades. 1t was expected that
the enemies of direct legislation
would effect an organization to direct
their fight, and it will occasion no
surprise should the report that the
Employers Association has elected to
direct operations prove correct.
The general public pretty clearly
understands who and what the people
are represented by the Joint Legisla-
tive Committee. They belong to old
established organizations of agricul-
tural and industrial producers and
combined to supplement their sepa-
rate activities through legislative eff
fort They are not masquerading un-
der any aliases. For years they worked
at the state capital for legislation
beneficial to the farmers and wage
workers, as we'll as for reform meas
ures in general. Bipartisan control
of the legislature made that work
extremely difficult and much of the
labor was wasted effort Direct legis-
lation was taken up by these forces
because it afforded a medium free
from partisan bias, prejudice and con-
troll, to be concise, chance to d.
vorce state issues from the iron grip
of party politics and corporate domi
nance. There has been no mystery
about the movements of the Joint
chamber methods nor hocus pocus of
any kind. 1t stands and has always
stood for popular control of the ma
chinery of government, believes the
people are entitled to know the merits
or dement's of any legislative measure
put forth.
If a clear view of the forces oper-
ating within the State Employers AS
ISOLATION can be had, the people will
understand at the outset of this
struggle the nature of the two forces
brought face to face No one denies
TO employers the right of organia-
ton. II is the logical thing for any
body Of men whose interests. social,
fraternal, religious, industrial, manu-
featuring or what not, are alike TO
do. The harm or good in any organiz
alton lies in the use made of its
powers Employers might with good
reason combine against monopolistic
control Of raw material when such
control dictated ruinous or unfair
prices; for better marketing condi-
tons; efficient methods of produc-
ton; reciprocal agreements with
labor; any one of a score of legiti-
mate reasons. l believe the history
of the State Employers Association
demonstrates that something entire
ly different constitutes its actuating
motive
It's officers and prominent members
have been found everywhere and at
all times fighting industriaHy and po-
litically the efforts of organized wage
workers to better the working and
living conditions of themselves and
their dependents. 1t has lined up
