Meanwhile a British battalion, finding
little opposition, on it's own initiative
pressed on through the mud and the shell
craters and gained the edge of Leuze
wood, which carried them past Ginchy
where the Germans are fortified amid the
ruins with nests of machine guns.
The British gain since Sunday is more
than mile in depth. Irish troops OF

numerous prisoners in dugouts and swept

BULLETIN

The labor press throughout the
country is reuested to publish the
following warning for the benefit of
Boiler Makers Union No. 27, whose
members have been on strike since
July 6, 1915. e., over 10 months
and are determined to continue the
fight until another great victory is
won by organized labor.
The three firms involved in this
fight against the Boiler Makers Inter
national Union are: The John O'Brien
Boiler Works, the Heine Boiler Works
and the Wangler Boiler Works. These
firms are unfair to union labor, a
fact that should be widely advertised
all over the country, because by means
of detective agencies they are trying
their utmost to secure strikebreakers.
Up to this time they have met with
very little success but unfortunately
very often some honest colleagues and
fellow workers of ours are deceived
into accepting the invitation of these
agencies, and when these men come to
ST. Louis they find that somebody mis-
informed them as to the local situa-
ton.
The demands of the striking Boiler
Makers of st. Louis are the most rea-
sonable that could have been made
under present conditions. There is no
doubt that with these unfair employ
ers it is simply a desperate effort to
break up the Boiler Makers associa-
ton. Back of the O'Brien-Heine-
Wangler trio stand the Citizens AL
lance and the Manufacturers Asso-
citation and kindred arch-enemies of
union labor. The labor press will do
a great service not only to the strik-
ing Boiler Makers and their interna-
tional union but to organized labor at

PROTEST FROM THE GUTTER

Yes, I'm an outcast, a tramp and a
bum,
I'm shiftless and dirty to boot,
don't care a rap for your smile or
your frown,
Nor a jot for your praise or your
hoot
live like beast, so you say in
your scorn,
I'm a flaw in society's plan.
And you're right-Im all these, and
then some to boot
But never yet scabbed on a man.
I'll steal when I'm hungry, and fight
when / must,
And lie when it pays the best;
I'm lazy and shameless, and drink
like fish,
And I'd murder, perhaps, if hard
pressed;
I'm a vagabond, worthless, curse to
the race.
admit it so just save your CAB;
Pm crusty with dirt, but I've got to
go some
To be dirty enough for a scab.
I'm low and degenerate scarce fit to
let live,
l admit it, mad don't care a rap;
The ash barrels my banquet, the gut
ter my bed,
AS travel the face of the map
You can call me a scoundrel, a hound
or cur,
They all fit; so just take a grab.
won't squirm at the dirtiest name
in the bunch, ...s.e
But I'll shoot if you call me a scab.

STREET CAR MEN
FLOCK TO UNION

New York.-Street car companies in
this city have accepted the terms of
settlement between President Mahon
of the Amalgamated Street Car Mems
Union and the New York Railways
Company. Motormen and conductors
are flocking to the new union and
officials are preparing a wage scale
and list of working betterments to be
submitted to the companies.

rural schools to aid the boys and
girls by giving them instruction in
making useful and ornamental things
for the home and farm.
1t pleases us to learn that the
parents as we'll as the children are
very enthusiastic over this work. Our
plan was to give aid only to rural
schools, but, as many people in the
larger centers are asking that we
give their children the same oppor-
tunity, we have planned to continue
the work in the rural schools and we
trust to be able to take up the home
work problems with many of the
larger communities.
Useful and ornamental articles
made from wood by the use of few
simple tools, such as a pocket-knife,
saw and hammer, was worked out last
year. This year we hope to continue
the wood work and to add the teach
ing of cement work. Nothing could
be of more comfort and value to the
farm than good cement walks and
buildings. If the owner can do the
work himself and can find much of
the material right at hand, as is the
case in this county in both wood and
gravel, the expense of such work is
not great, as compared to it's value
and use.
Trusting that you may have a good
and peaceful school year, l am

TELEPHONE PROTEST IS
LAUNCHED IN SULTAN

Sultan.-At largely attended mass
meeting Tuesday evening it was de
cided to take drastic steps in the
matter of recently increased telephone
rates. Sentiment expressed was to
the effect that, with all nearby towns
on the long -distance list, local phone
is of very little use, certainly not
enough to justify paying the higher
rates.
A committee of w. H. Illman, Dr. |.
E. McVay, James McDermott, John
Carlson and Phil George was ap-
pointed to secre signatures to the fol
lowing:
1--WE, the undersigned subscribers of
the Puget Sound Telephone Co., here
by give said company notice as fol
lows:
That the telephones of the under
signed be removed and the service
discontinued on and after Oct. /, 1916
provided
THAT this notice shall be void if
same as were in effect prior to July /,
rates and privileges substantially the
1916, be re-established before Oct. /,

AN OPEN LETTER
TO LOGGERS AND
MILL WORKERS
Workers:

Workers:
Regardless of whether it takes one
year or twenty; whether you are or
gained by the A. F. of l.. or |. w w.
or by the International Union of Tim
berworkers, the fact remains that the
historical and industrial necessity will
compel you to organize. Machinery
vii force you either to reform your
ways or revolt. You will not always
accept more humiliating conditions.
You are now worse situated than
any other class of workers.
This will finally cause you to recog-
nize the fact that there is absolutely
only one way out Organize. 1t must
be done by yourselves-it will then
belong to you It will be a part of
your lives. This is absolutely a posi-
tive statement. You must do it in
order to survive.
Time is here-you must act.
The workers of Grays Harbor and
Tacoma District NO. , have already
laid solid foundation for that work.
Since the section workers on the rail
roads perfected an organization we
can not permit to lag behind them.
This means work thought, study,
action, constructive and diligent de
votion to our duty and task.
1t means the beginning of new life.
1t signifies theend of frivolities, care
lessness, neglect and the ignoring of
the vital question Of our own progress
and welfare.
Too long have you scoffed, ridiculed,
derided, criticized and condemned the
organized labor movement But the
man in you is not totally dead!
Self-respect will compel you to act
And to act you must unite and or
ganize.
Therefore, we the members of the
International Union of Timberworkers
issue this open statement to all work
ers in the timber industry, regardless
of affiliations to back up the organ
izatiOn in our industry with all the
power they possess, and thus take
heir proper place in society.

The UNION LABEL
LABELS THE MAN
Brother Unionist, Are You Sincere
in Your Demand of the Label
of Other Crafts?

1t is the proud claim of unionism
that its work is open and above board,
its ideals and ambitions lofty and
above all that hypocrisy has no place
within its ranks. In the fulfillment
of these noble aspirations each indi-
vidual must assume his or her share
of the burden. There is no Sinking
which does not detract from the inte-
grail volume of possible results; there
is no effort toward progress or ad-
vancement, no matter how small or
feeble, which is not registered in the
onward movement of unonism On
the strength of these combined indi-
vidual efforts rests the final achieve
ments of this noblest of all causes
which God has left to the adjustment
closely allied to those higher institu-
tons of learning and emancipation,
should be found an inspiration which
should stir each and every unionist
into lasting and conscientious effort
to better humanity's welfare.
The road to success has many pit
falls. Robbers and deceivers are at
every turn, yet ever before us is the
emblem of encouragement and point
ing the way on every hand, we see the
sign which directs us to a better life
better working conditions, greater
and more humane civilization and the
emancipation of man, the union label
Brother, if you will but heed the sign,
and follow no other, unlimited &C.
complishments are yours and the
world will benefit thereby.
1t is not necessary to mention here
principles which are all embodied in
the union label. The question is, are
you doing your part? Are you using
your Influence in every way possible
to further the interests of this most
important movement which directly
benefits you and your family, and in
directly al humanity? Is a movement
of this sort worthy of your support
and if it is will you give it? Have
you talked this over with your family
and enlisted their support in the good
work? In other words, Brother IN
mist, have you been sincere in your
unionism or have you allowed care
lessness and oversight to create
small amount of hypocrisy in your
makeup? These questions must be
answered by the conscience to the
man.
Your fidelity or infidelity to the
cause is illustrated by the Importance
which you place upon the union label
You are either sincere or insincere
You are either the genuine, undefiled
unionist, or you are finger with
hypocrisy and weakness of purpose
We are all human, and therefore far
from perfect. If unionism were per-
feet in this one respect, it could claim
to have accomplished more in direct
ing the conduct of it's members, than
have our churches and other great
worthy institutions.
However, brother, the fact remains,
the label labels the man. 1t proclaims
your stature as a unionist, and your
fidelity to it will determine to what
heights you may rise in the estimation
of your fellow men.

UNIONISM DEVELOPS MEN

The tradeunion movement is one
of the greatest institutions that the
struggle for democracy has developed.
1t teaches the student how to accept
defeat gracefully to celebrate
triumphs with moderation and to
maintain an optimistic and determined
spirit. Its aims are praiseworthy, it's
achievements substantial and it's
hopes unbounded. 1t corrects the err
rors of yesterday, redemes the diff
culties of today and sets influences
in motion to wipe out the injustices
that are visible in tomorrow. In
truth, it does things.-Labor Clarion.

THE TWO PLATOON SYSTEM

1t is common knowledge among the
members of the Everett fire depart
ment that previous TO the launching
of the movement for the adoption of
the Two Platoon" system that a good
many people in Everett had but a
scant idea as to the working condl-
lions of its members, the arrange
ment of time for meal hours days off
duty, and in fact the very nature of
the work, so unlike that followed by
the majority of people, that the mem
bers realized the public must be in
formed as to the true conditions eX-
listing under the present system, and
what the Two Platoon" or two shifts
idea offered in the way of better con-
ditiOns for the men, and in all better
and more modern system for all con-
cerned With this object in view, a
house-to-hOuse campaign was started,
first to get the necessary number of
signatures on the petitions, so that it
may be submitted to the voters of
Everett for their approval, and second
that the members might meet the
people individually and tell them of
our present method of work and what
we wish to offer in the way of a
better system and what it will cost
each taxpayer.
The members have met with plenty
of announcement and with very little
opposition and after the city has been
thoroughly canvassed petitions will be
placed in a few stores on Hewitt ave
nue. and at the Labor Temple, in
order that those may sign whom We
missed or We're absent during our
visit to their homes.
We have the endorsements of the
Everett Trades Council and the Fra
ternal Order Of Eagles and will visit
other organizations and endeavor to
get their endorsement and support.
If the voters of Everett adopt the
Two Platoon system at the coming
fall election the two shifts will go
into effect January 1st, 1917 and give
employment to nine more men and
will practically double the efficiency
and strength of the fire department,
and for the small increase in taxation
it looks like pretty good bargain tor
Everett.
This more modern way of conduct
ing a fire department has got beyond
the stage of mere theory, and is in
effect in the following cities where it
is proving success: Seattle, Wash;
Los Angeles, Berkeley and several
other smaller cities in California.
Butte, Great Falls, Anaconda and
Billings, oMnt; Kansas City, No:
Kansas City, Kan. Pueblo, Colo: Lin
coin and Omaha, Neb; Youngstown.
Ohio; Yonkers and Buffalo, n. Y:
Minneapolis and Duluth, MINI, and
Pittsburg, Pa have recently adopted
it, so we cannot say as to its success.
Portland Ore, and several other cities
on the coast are going to vote on the
Two Platoon" system at this coming
fall election, and here's hoping that
Everett will not take a back seat but
show her progressiveness by adopt
ing this fair, humane and efficient
movement in her fire department
