WHAT THE sTETsoN STRIKE WON.
Company Agrees to Hear All Grievances
of Employees in Future.

Altho the strike at the Stetson Hat
company in Philadelphia is over, this
arrogant $1,000, 900 corporation has been
taught several lessons by its workers
who were forced on strike altho unor-
ganized. These workers, for the first
time, have sensed the power of solidity
and the company's promises indicate that
it realizes the old days have passed
forever.
One of the gains secured is the abol-
ishment of gas complained of by strik-
ers. The company manufactured its own
gas and used it in the process of max
ing hats. Employees were often forced
to 90 to hospitals and lose days OF work
because of this gas. The percentage sys-
TEN will be adjusted. and the company
agrees to hear the grievances of its EN-.
ployes.
Many of the strikers have secured 9th
er employment and declare they wi
never be known as Stetson employees un-
til this concern accords its workers the
right to bargain collectively and until it
is forced to abandon, thru the power or
trade unionism, working conditions that
are not indorscd by thinking men and
women.

Yet there they still stand today, in
calm serenity and majesty, unhurt by

Brewery Workers
(By William Koch.)

Brother Joseph Proebstle, international
secretary, paid the local boys a visit the
first part of last week, coming from the
states of Washington and Oregon, where
the brewery workers are making a fight
similar to the one in Colorado to allow
the manufacture and sale of beer. He
said that approximately 10000 sigma
lures will appear on the petitions in
Oregon, tho third of the signers
voted dry" at the last election Like
the people of Colorado, they have had
enough of bootleggers and blind tigers.
Brother Proebstle expressed himself as
being very much pleased with the amend
ment proposed by the brewery workers
of this state, and is confident same will
carry by big majority.
Secretary Koch has had a large force
employed the past few weeks examining
the petitions for the manufacture and
sale of beer in Colorado. If all the
signers should order a case of beer as
soon as the amendment carries, as many
stated they intended, it will be necessary
for the breweres to work double shifts
Watch our soldiers in Mexico if war
should be declared, and see if they will
drink that dirty, filthy water, or de-
mand their beer in order to protect their
health. They know what the German
soldiers are doing, and why the German
soldiers were not raised on water and
grape juice.
Roosevelt started ont to bust the
trusts some years ago, but since then We
have noticed many new trusts come into
existence. Colorado's latest is the boot
Logging trust, and more powerful and
secret organization was never known.
Whether it is guilty of restraint of trade
is not yet known, as we have not heard
Mr. Finch's or the governors decision on
that point. However, those who are re-
sponsible for this trust don't seem able
to check its progress. To close down
your own factories and throw thousands
of men out of work is not the way to
build up state. If Mr.. Finch and the
governor are not employed by eastern
liquor houses, they certainly are entitled
to some consideration. Handing those
people millions of dollars worth of bust
ness yearly and getting nothing for it
is poor business, after closing down the
Colorado breweries.
And they say prohibition prohibitsl

this week: For January, 3,50G ship

Watch for it.
The Brewery Workers wish to thank
the Western Federation of Miners for
the assistance given. When doing organ
izing work, the w. f. of M. always
think of other unions in trouble. Brother
Turney of Victor, who has been doing
good work for the organization, also did
much for the brewery workers Brother
Turney believes in cooperation among
the unions, and recognizes the fact that
"an injury to one is the concern of all"

USE WIRELESS TELEPHONE

Navy Department Officials Adopt New
est Wonder in So-CaIIed MobiIiza-
tion of Communication Aids.

Uncle Sam is mobilizing the COM
munication system of the navy. At
least that is the way the off cials of
the navy department refer to the eff
forts that are being made to make
use of the most up-to-date methods of
communication between the various
vessels of the navy and between the
Offices of the navy department in
Washington and the various units of
the navy. These efforts have cul-
minated now in the incorporation of
wireless telephony into the new sys-
TEN.
The other day Secretary of the Navy
Daniels, from his office in the navy
department, actually talked through
the air from Washington to the cap
tain of the battleship New Hampshire,
at Hampton Roads, more than two
hundred miles away. Immediately
after this feat the secretary talked by
long-distance telephone lover wires)
to the senior naval officers at Ports
mouth, N. H; Santiago, Cal; Pensa-
cola, Fla, and Puget Sound, Wash.
Both wireless and the long-distance
wire systems reaching across the con-
tinent have been introduced as regu-
lar features of the navy's communica-
tion system. These Improvements
vastly increase the efficiency of the
navy and would be of inestimable
value in a crisis.

TIN-PLATE INDUSTRY GROWS
Output in United States Increases 51.s
Per Gent in Five Years-Busi-
ness Built up Since 1891.

The growth of the American tin
plate business since 1909 is shown by
statistics of the United States bureau
of the census, which places the in
crease in the output of tinplate and
terneplate from 1909 to 1914 at $780,
462,S7S pounds, or 51.9 per cent. The
value of the output increased 1885,
591, or 41.S per cent. This growth
was all in tinplate, as the output of
terneplate, which, in 1914, constituted
less than seven per cent of the total
production of coated plates, was
somewhat smaller in 1914 than in
1901. Terneplate consists of steel or
iron plates or sheets coated with an
alloy of tin and lead known as terne
mixture.
The tinplate industry in the United
States dates from 1891, as prior to that
year practically the entire domestic
market was supplied by imports.
Denver labor bulletin., 1916-07-01

ton amounts to not more than 10 per
cent of the total and yet all of our diff
fculties at the outbreak of the Eu-
ropean war were caused because that
small percentage was disarranged.
In view of the apparently small in
terest taken in foreign trade prior to
is surprising to learn the real impor-
tance of the United States in the
worlds markets. In the fiscal year,
1928, our exporters sent abroad
nearly s2,500,000,000 worth of prod
ucts. This was exceeded only by the
exports of Great Britain. We were
the second exporting nation of the
world, ahead of Germany and far out
distancing France. And, what is more
significant, our exports during the last
quarter century have shown a steady
and rapid increase. The exports of
the United States have doubled in the
last 10 years.
1t is necessary and interesting to
point out that very large proportion
of those exports consisted of raw ma
terials and foodstuffs. This proper
tion, however, has been steadily de-
creasing during recent years.
In the decade 1870 to 1879 the pro-
portion of manufactured goods export
ed from the United States amounted
to only 2O.35 per cent. In the period
1890 to 1899 it had increased to 1928
per cent. And in the period from 1900
to 1909 1t amounted to 1856 per cent.
During the normal years Immediately
preceding the European war, from
1910 to 1914 inclusive, the proportion
of our manufactured goods to total ex-
ports amounted to 46.75 per cent. On
the other hand the proportion OF raw
materials and foodstuffs exported from
the United States steadily decreased
These movements are significant in
themselves and would have been equal
ly significant if their Importance had
not been forced upon us by the out
break of the European war and by the
new role in international affairs which
we in consequence are called upon to
| accept.

EDWARD EWING PRATT,

BY DR.. EDWARD EWING PRATT,
Chief of Bureau of Foreign and Domes-
tic Commerce, Department of Com
merce.
The great European war has forced
upon us the industrial leadership of
the world And thereby it has also
brought home to us with singular force
the Importance of foreign trade. Three
years ago it would have been difficult
to arouse much serious interest in the
middle West or in the South on the
subject of foreign trade. Overseas
markets meant little to producers,
manufacturers and merchants not To-
Gated near the Atlantic, Gulf or Pa
cific seaboards.
Today it is different. Our farmers
In the middle West have realized that
because nations, thousands of miles
away, have gone to war, and because
the supplies of wheat from certain
large wheatproducing sections of the
world have been cut off from their
usual markets. there is a special de-
mand for American wheat and the
prices obtained for the largest crop
produced III Iue ulblOIN VI lHe Oulleu
States are the highest prices on
record.
At the same time the producers of
cotton in another section of the United
States have had brought home to
them with disastrous forcefulness the
fact that large part of the cotton
crop of the United States is marketed
in Europe, that when those markets
were suddenly cut off the price of
cotton went down and down until it
was scarcely more than half of the
usual price, and far below the cost
of production. Both Of these groups
have suddenly and for the first time
realized the importance of foreign
trade.
AS a matter of fact the whole ma
tion has had an object lesson, staged
on a tremendous scale, of the impor-
tance of that comparatively small pro-
portion of our total trade that may be
classed as foreign" That small por-

China have never seen or tasted

PROMINENT
 FENANClER
 PASSES AWAY

SEATTLE. Jan. 4.-R. R. Spencer, yice-presldent. and founder of the Ma tionai Bank of Commerce. died sud denly this morning.
 Mir. Spencer was one of the best known financiers Of the northwest. A public spirited man. but seldom talk ing public working part, his policy was to work through others, allow ing them to secure the credit although in fact 1t was his farsighted know ledge which really secured the de sired effects. -4..
 Mir. Spencer, besides being vice president of the National Bank Of Commerce. was a director in several other financial institutions. a member of the Rainier and Seattle Athletic clubs. He was a member of the Seat tie Chamber of Commerce but always declined appointment to committees but was ever ready to lend his ad- vice on all matters of civic or better ment Issues.
 Mir. Spencer's fortune is estimated to be well up in the six figure class.

TEE HARBoR PACKING
 MOVES ITS OUTPUT
 ACCOUNT OF THREATS

Threats of destruction for vessels and wharves handling war material at Seattle forced the management of the Tee Harbor Packing Company to hustle early shipments according to Roy Douglas, of the company, in let. ter to w n. Case.
 Mr. Douglas, now in Seattle. says that after Pier IA was partially de stroyed by fire, several threats were made regarding the pier on which the Tee Harbor product was wharfed, Pier 6. The pier had been equally a prominent factor in having stored there munition shipments 10 Rus sia as had Pier i4.
 For several weeks Mir Douglas states the officials of the company worried night and day fearing that any hour report would be received regarding the attempt or destruction of Pier 5. Extra precautions were taken to protect the pier and in the meantime some big hustling took place with the result that the entire pack was expected to have been safe ly moved this week.
