But such a change cannot be hoped
for from the present bunch unless it
throws it's bad actors overheard
1T believes that the efficient, loyal
workman should be we'll paid
Well, then, what do you want to
reduce the wages for?
ITO the outside world Everett is
known as a union town. with general
closed shop conditions; a reputation
justified only in part by the facts,
but which has been sufficient TO
greatly retard the city's industrial de-
velopment. This situation must be
changed The club intends that
Everett in the future shall enjoy such
a reputation as will invite new enter
prises and attract desirable free labor,
skilled and unskilled. Labor cannot
thrive for long unless employers make
profits, and profits do not come out of
strikes. Experience has shown that
new enterprises avoid communities
where strikes and other annoyances
incident to the closed shop practice
are common"
Closed shop conditions will not keep
wide-awake men from investing in in
dustries in this or any other city, but
exhorbitant prices for manufacturing
sites and disposition to grab every
thing a new investor brings to town
will retard the industrial development
OF the city. Why don't you try to do
something TO induce investment in
Everett instead of expanding your
energies on union-busting and scab-
herding?
Labor cannot thrive long unless
employers make profits and profits do
not come out of strikes"
Quite true. 1t is also true that labor
cannot thrive at all without fair
wages and working conditions, and
when these things obtain there are no
strikes.
we wish further to emphasize our
determined opposition TO violence so
often INDUCED in by closed shop ad-
vocates in contests with employers,
and the Everett Commercial Club
pledges it's active efforts to prevent
such violence
The Journal does not connive at or
attempt to condone acts of violence,
The Commercial Club is asked to
keep it's eye peeled on its own acts Of
and violations Of law.
1--WE ask the active support OF the
of Everett to the end that
this city may become a place where
law rules: where labor is free and
we'll paid: where capital is encouraged
and protected and where enterprise is
looked upon as a virtue, where crimes,
if committed, are punished and where
vicious Migrants are not tolerated.
To this last paragraph the Journal
says amen.
Let the Commercial Club curb the
unfair, underhanded propensities of
some of it's leading" members and de
vote itself to the purposes for which
it was said to be organized and we
will all see a united Everett, but if
it continue in it's present course we
will see a divided Everett indefinitely.

Course Chosen in Hudson
River-Miss Galligan
in Short Races.

The fve-mile swim for the metro
politan A. A. L. championship will be
held in the Hudson River on Tuesday
under the supervision of the New York
Athletic Club. A course has been laid
out along the New York shore from
the Columbia University boathouse. at
10th Street, to a finish line off 2l6th
Street, and the contestants will be sent
off at o'clock in the afternoon.
The field will be small. The event
has gone begging all season, owing TO
unwillingness on the part of local
clubs 10 run it off in shark-infested
waters, and most of the candidates
have not trained, expecting the race to
be abandoned for this year. Among the
starters, however, will be Bud Goodwin.
OF the New York Athletic Club, the title
holder; his teammates, John Zimnoch
and DR.. W. ID. Hcnnen; Charles Kauf-
man, of the American Life Saving So
ciety, and several others. Goodwin
should successfully defend his crown.
Miss Claire Galligan, of the National
Women's Lifesaving League, who has
this summer smashed to pieces every
American middle and long distance rec
ord for women, will now take up sprint
ing. Her coaches believe that with
few months of speed work she will be
able TO add the 100 and 220-yard ma

HOG GUT EMPLOYED
IN TENNIS RACQUETS

Few OF those who play tennis art
aware of the fact that the American
hog is now playing part in the pro-
duction of tennis racquets, says "The
Sporting Goods Sales Journal"
Until last year tennis strings were
made wholly of sheep gut, the entrails
of the hog being shipped to Germany
in large quantities for use as sausage
castings.
When the war closed the German
market, American manufacturers of ne
cessity used their sheep gut TO produce
surgical gut and music strings. while
the surplus OF hog gut was and is now
being converted into tennis strings,
which, according to an expert. COM
pare favorably with the sheep gut
when the material is sound and the
strings are properly made.

Its class is reflected in the fact that it

kept in the fight with every chance of
ultimate success, though handicapped
all year by painful lack Of battery

One Instance.

Here instance Of Jones's remarkable control or
lack of nerves unbounded call it.
Playing against Frank Dyer in the afternoon the kid was
up going to the twenty hole. Dyers drive left him
in wreched lie. Some told Jones that his opponent
could not possibly get out on his next shot.
But Dyer by wonderful pitch dropped the ball within
twelve feet of the cup You understand how this
covery would have affected the golfer. But the
kid in place being Disconnected waited until
the applause had died away Without nstans delay he
stepped up his ball, hit it firmly and dropped his shot
inside Of Dyer's
In this shot there a combination Of rare skill and
rare courage. But there something 1t carried

the sting of defeat but only thinks of the great

The One BIG Winner.

At the seasons end Alexander will be the only major
league pitcher with thirty victories to his credit
There a time back in the days of Mathewson, Nc
Ginnty, Young Chesbro and Walsh when pitcher who
couldn't win thirty games was part of a star.
But pitching flesh is becoming brittle, the pitching
growing fragile for the pitcher to-day who in
twenty victories considers that he has done work
Pitchers have become too pampered There is
why strong husky slabman shouldn't work every fourth
day steady diet But the is getting feeble, or
something, for only thirty winner stands up in
both leagues.
