Molders' Strike

After presenting their demands for
an eight-hour day, which were granted
in all the larger shops, Iron holders
Local No. 1853 was compelled to call
about 25 men on strike in some of the
smaller shops of the city as a result
of the refusal of their proprietors to
accede to the shorter work day. Near
ly $50 members are working, and it
is expected those on strike will be
back at work in the very near future.
Competent mechanics are scarce in
the iron trades, and there is a demand
for men at Anaconda, Mont, and other
eastern points which will be filled
from the ranks of the strikers if their
employers do no act quickly. This
will be big loss to these employers,
as their men cannot easily be re-
placed, even after a settlement of the
strike.
1t is usual for the small shop to
grant the demands of the union and
for the larger shops to hold out, but
employers in Seattle have apparently
got things inverted, or what is more
likely, the smaller men have not yet
awakened to the fact that the en-
ployers' association is down and out.

PLEA MADE LABOR'S
CHIEFS WHICH BROUGHT
END TO THE STRIKE

Following is copy of the plea sub
mitted to Messrs. e. p. Marsh and j.
G. Brown:
"Inasmuch as we believe you were
moved by deep sense of the serious
ness of the situation now existing in
Everett, to have invited us, among
others, into your conferences, and be-
lieving any act on the part of any
body of men in the city looking to-
ward a peaceful settlement of the diff
ficulties would be a commentator of
incalculable consequence and credit
to them in the eyes of the public, and
committing ourselves to give full pub
licity to such action, and believing
firmly in the honesty and good will of
employers of our city towards labor
in the future and unreservedly recon-
mending it to you, and believing that
the avowed removing of pickets and
declaring the strike ended would
greatly, if not wholly right the diff
CullleS lOCdliy, anu SoiiiiiSho you 40
those taking the initiative in this to
this whole city. We therefore ask in
view of all this you do so remove
pickets and call off the strike, believ-
ing thereby you are not conceding
your cause, but winning victory of
even material value.
Gentlemen, knowing that the pub
lie has already been appraised of our
conference and feeling that the eyes
of the city will be centered upon us
and you for what we do or fail to do, we
feel bound to give our actions in full
to the public through the press. We
declare ourselves wholly impartial, be-
lieving that neither side is so right
that it dares to be dogmatic nor either
so faulty as not to deserve an honest
consideration, we make our plea in
the interest of labor, of capital-of
life-of home and city.

TRADES
COUNCIL
N E w S
Wednesday, November 9

The Trades Council met in regular
session, Vice President Dieterle in the
chair.
A communication was received from
the unorganized cigarmakers of Lima,
Ohio, asking aid in organizing. The
communication says:
"For some time past the cigar
makers and packers employed by the
Deisel-Wemmer cigar factories, located
two in Lima and one in each of the
following places: Sidney, Wapakoneta,
st. Marys, Toledo, Findlay, Delphos,
Fostoria, Van Vert, Bellefontaine-all
in Ohio, and who make the following
named brands of goods: Five cent
San Felce, American Stag, Ceredo,
John Morton, White Bees, Little Ha-
vana. The Deisel-Wemmer Company
make the following brands: Ten cent
Ell Verso-small, medium and large
sizes. Fifteen cent - Ambassador.
Have been trying to organize for an
increase in pay and an eight-hour
day." The Cigarmakers say: "Our
simple request of you is that your or
ganization write the Deisel-Wemmer
Company, cigar manufacturers, Lima,
Ohio, demanding that the union label
be placed on all their cigars, and that
the hours of labor me reduced to eight
per day, and that the wages of women
workers be raised to equal that paid
the men,"
E. w. Phillips was taken off the
unfair list by the Painters.
Electrical Workers reported one
initiation.
The Building Trades reported very
good meeting.
The Cigarmakers' delegate, Frank A.
Turk, left Wednesday for the new dry
territory of Montana, where he will
establish a factory.
The St. Louis Meat Cutters are on a
strike and have forwarded to Everett
Trades Council the names of the un-
fair firms, with their abbatoir num-
bers, as follows: Independent Packing
Co., No. 1904; Krey Packing Co., No
1872; He'll Packing Co., No. 357 Cox &
Gordon Co., No. $40; Dressed Beet

SH|NGL EWEAvERS VOTE
TO END LOCAL STRIKE

in the public mind the strike of the
lShingle Weavers was associated with
the tragedy of Sunday.
A special meeting of the union was
called for Wednesday afternoon, which
was attended by all the members of
the peace conference. The situation
was reviewed from every angle and
an adjourned meeting called to meet
at 8 o'clock. At o'clock the hall was
crowded with Single Weavers and
interested citizens. The situation was
again reviewed. 1t was freely adj
mitted that the Single Weavers'
wage contention was entitled to
serious consideration, but it was felt
that until the strike was called off it
would be impossible to harmonic
contending factions.
The Shingle Weavers involved in
this controversy have their homes in
Everett Many of them are paying
taxes. They are men of family with
their children attending the public
schools. They are as vitality interested
of citizens. They are peaceable and
law abiding. They have made in
credible sacrifices during the progress
of this strike. 1t was no easy matter
to arrive at the conclusion that in the
interest of the public welfare the
strike should be called off. They did
doing they arose to the heights of
sacrifice. They had in mind the fact
that their fellow unionists in other
parts of the state might misconstrue
their action. They thought of the long
months of sacrifice and actual suffer
ing they had gone through. But they
were big enough and broad enough to
sink their own fight in the interest of
public good.
The Single Weavers earnestly hope
that this action will bring an era of
good feeling, an understanding of the
, industrial conflict, an appreciation of
the struggle they have gone through,
that will make for permanent indus
trial peace.

The Miners Union
Grows by Leaps

District Secretary Short and Presi-
dent Flyzik addressed a rousing mass
meeting of mine workers in the Cum
berland field last Sunday evening. The
meeting was held under the auspices
of the Cumberland Local Union at
Walkers Hall, with Robert Blakeley
presiding. 1t was the largest meeting
that was ever held at Cumberland in
a number of years. Over 100 new
members were initiated into the
miners nion
The Bayne mine was represented by
the largest number of men; that is
due principally to the fact that there
are greater number of men en-
ployed there. The Navy mine had a
fairly good representation at the
meeting, too, and the Hydes mine
turned out almost to a man.
This practically leaves 100 per cent
organization in the Durham and Cum.

LABOR DOES NOT FAVOR "ONE-MAN"
IDEA OF INDUSTRIAL INSURANCE BOARD
BY {. P. Marsh.

After ten months investigation of
the State Industrial Commission,
State Auditor c. w. Clausen, ex-officio
chief of the state bureau of inspection,
has rendered a report and made some
concrete recommendations wit h
some of them l agree; with others
do not
l agree that the board should be a
strictly non-partisan body. The ad-
ministration of the workmen's com
pensation act has to do with the very
lives of the workers of this state.
Insofar as the act functions to reduce
the accident toll of industry, it has the
inherent power to save and prolong
life, to stop the wastage of limb, pro
mote the health and happiness of the
worker. In its schedule of awards it
stands between penury and want and
the dependents of the workers. No
other branch of our state administra-
ton touches so closely the human side
of organized society. That members
of this commission should owe their
appointment to partisan activity, their
retention upon the board to partisan
activity or influence, is wrong and out
of focus with modern day thought.
No "One-Man" Body
l do not agree with the recon-
mendation that the commission be
made a one-man body. The admins
trative work of the commission is too
great to be handled by one man, nor
do l believe one-man commission
would work out in the long run salts
factorily to either employers or en-
ployees. The details of administra-
ton of this act are multitudinous and
complex, ana many varying conditions
and considerations enter into the de-
termination of adequate awards. The

his money is being honestly expended;
that he is not being mulcted, either by
extravaganza or eXorbitant awards.
On the other hand, it is the worker
who is getting crushed and broken,
not the employer, and he in his turn
wants to feel that he is getting every
penny of compensation the law en-
titles him to- With both employer and
employee directly represented upon
the commission, each has a feeling
that his particular interest is being
looked after. | do not believe that
feeling of confidence, so necessary to
successful operation of the act, could
long exist under the one-man commits
sion idea. AT some time or other the
employer or employee, as a class, is
bound to feel that the other fellow is
getting the edge" in administration,
and that feeling would wreck the
potency of the law.

Workmen; S regards the distribution
OF work and the maintenance of its
roll of permanent employees during
slack seasons; and a multitude of
small questions Of policy, Under these
agreements due process of law has
been substituted for the arbitrary and
irresponsible rule of the foreman in
the adjustment of all differences and
with the institution of this due process
of law there has developed among the
workers a feeling of security under
the law in place of a feeling, formerly
prevalent among them, of uncertainty,
OF fear, and of absolute helplessness.
The plan has commended itself both
to the company and to the employees
as beneficial and profitable.
The collective agreements described
in Part II. of the report prescribe the
conditions of employment for approx
mately 10000 workers in New York
city and elsewhere Six of the agree
ments We're made with the United
Garment Workers of America; four of
them rovide for complete open shop;
one provides for preferential union
shop; one for partial recognition
without preference. Radical changes
affecting the conditions of employ
ment such as the institution of sys-
TENS of mediation for the adjudication
Of disputes, official recognition Of the
union, reduction OF working hours, and
increase in wages, We're effected I'M
der the provisions of those agree
ments.
The report includes an account of
the strike of 1912 in the fur industry
and the resulting agreement, the gen.
eral strike and the agreement in the
mems clothing industry in Boston and
Rochester in 1918, and a tabular
analysis of collective agreements in
the mems clothing industry as de.
Iscribed in the report.

On the Goth of October a charter
was issued to the Bricklayers, Masons
and Plasterers' International Union of
America.
While the agitation for affiliation
has been conducted for years among
the bricklayers, definite atcion was
taken at their recent convention, held
in Toronto, Canada, when the inter-
national executives were empowered
to act.
In the charter application, signed
by President Bowen and Secretary
Dobson, it is stated that there are
912 local unions, with a membership
of 10000, affiliated with this inter-

Esprit ROusers:
By CHARLES PERRY TAYLOR
Secy. Washington State Federation
of Labor.

Let us believe in our fellow men.
They may not always agree with us.
We might feel sorry if they did,
For we do not believe
Some of the things
We were so cocksure about
A few years ago.
May they never lose
Faith in themselves,
Because if they do, they may
Lose faith in us,
And that will hurt us more
Than the former,
And it would really hurt them more
Than it would hurt us.
Let us believe in our home.
1t would not satisfy some folks,
But it contains jewels
That cannot be purchased
In the markets of the world.
When we enter its secret chambers
And shut out the world and it's care,
We are lords.
The motto of our home is service;
It's reward is love.
There is no other spot in all the worlC
That can fill its place.
Let us believe in our country.
1t is a good country, best on earth,
With all its faults.
Let us believe in it because
1t is made up of our fellow-men
And ourselves.
We can't go back on them
And be true to our own creed.
If we do not think it
The best country in the world
It is probably because We
Do not try hard to make it so.
Let us believe in today.
1t is all we possess.
The past is of value
| Only as it can make life
Fuller and freer.
There is no assurance of tomorrow.
Let us, today, believe, have faith,
And do our best
