RICHMOND LABOR UNIONS
FOR COOPERATIVE STORE

RICHMOND, Va.,-Richmond labor
unions plan a cooperative store. J.
C. Duke, attorney for the unions gives
the following explanation of the plan:
"The Trade Union Cooperative
Company, Inc, has just secured its
charter and has begun work. Six
unions have each subscribed for $3.50
in shares, and other unions will be
requested to subscribe like or smaller
sum, which allows all of their men,
bers to purchase goods at the store.
At first, it will be open only three
nights in the week, and will handle
heavy groceries, and also have an or
der department., to secure general mer-
chandise at wholesale for the members.
The price will be zen per cent above
wholesale, and no one will receive any
compensation for their work. Later
on we expect to educate the members
into operating on the Rochedale PLAN"

For several months some Of the
active members OF the Everett Com
mercial Club have been doing their
best to put The Northwest Worker
out Of business, but their efforts
have not met with the results they
% earnestly desired. They have
tried to get merchants to withdraw
their advertising, and we are sorry to
say that in some instances they did,
F. nd we want our readers to note the
missing ones, but the greater num-
Der stayed by tAe paper and today
we are still in position to print the
news that other papers refuse to pub
fish.
The attempt to induce merchants
10 withdraw their advertising having
'ailed, they set about finding other
Yays Of crippling the paper and
listed the print shop where the pa
per was being printed and succeeded
n getting this printer to throw up
he job of doing the work. They
!hen visited the other print shops and
ned them up to laf.,,
which they did. It so happened, how
ever, that a religious Scandinavian
paper was being printed in the city
by the Scandinavian College and we
succeeded in getting them to print
the paper. The print shop of this
was to be sold this
month and we induced one Of the
small printers in town, who had been
boycotted by the Commercial Club,
to buy the shop and big press. At
tempts were made to stop the sale
but they failed.
If at any time you have any print
ing to be done we want you to be
sure and not allow any other printers
to do your work excepting those who
advertise in and support your paper.
Look them up and turn all the work
you can their way.

MAURER PROPOSES
LAW TO PENSION
PERSONS OVER 60

HARRISBURG, Pa, - James H.
Maurer, president Of the Pennesyl-
vania State Federation of Labor and
Socialist member of the Legislature,
has introduced an old age assistance
bill, giving IS weekly to all persons
more than $50 years of age who are
unable to work and without means to
live.
Representative Maurer's bill would
give SO weekly to a man and wife
when they are living together and
both are more than 60. Aliens would
come under the act if they were 60
and had lived ten years in Pennsyl-
vania. The bill provides for the estab-
lishment of an old age assistance
bureau to administer the pension law
which, if passed, would go into effect
January /, 1918.

Get Together on Legislation
Affecting Both Orgaui-~..,
zatiOuS

PORTLAND, 0rc.-The organized
farmers and the organized workers
of Oregon are working in cooperation
on a legislative program. The State
Federation of Labor, the State Grange
and the Farmers Union thorugh rep
resentatives who met in conference
indicated their attitude on certain
proposed legislation now before the
legislature.
The three organizations suggest q
form of consolidation for the offices
relating to labor; declare in favor of
state aid in marketing problems and
outline their position on various othe,
phases of the legislative situation. The
statement opposes an anti-picketing
bin before the Legislature. ANY
changes in the state S-hour law ar,
opposed, The statement favors max

RUSSIA ARRESTS
LABOR RADICALS

PETROGRAD.-E Eleven members of
the labor group on the war industries
committee have been arrested
charged with conspiring to overthrow
the monarchy and establish a social
democratic republic, it was officially
announced here.
The war industries committee was
formed in the autumn of 1918, with
the object of increasing the manu-
facture of munitions.
Labor interests were represented
on the committee by specially-elect-
ed labor group, consisting of work
men belonging to the less radical
ing of the Labor party. The aim
of the group was to watch over the
economic interests of the working
classes when stimulating production.

FACTORY
KILLS MILITARY
TRAINING BILL
Bills to Amend Constitution BY
Initiative Meets
Sad Fate

Thanks to vigorous protest on the
part of the people there will be no
compulsory military training in the
high schools Of this state.
The Zednck bill, Huse Bin No, b
which provided for compulsory mill
airy training in all high schools of
he state having 50 or more male stu
Tents, was defeated Friday morning
n the house.
AT public hearing on the bill a
'ew days ago school teachers and
officials, together with the labor
mions the grange and the farmers
unions, united in a vigorous protest
against the bill. 1t was freely pro-
icted ON all sides that even had the
ill been passed by the legislature a
referendum petition would have been
filed against it and it would finally
have been defeated by the people.
House Bill III, by ID. p. Reid of The
Electrical Workers Union and the
labor member from Spokane, provid-
ing a constitutional amendment grant
'ng to the people the right to offer
amendments to the state constitution
W initiative petition, has been killed
N the house. The measure received
out twenty votes, although high hopes
1ad been held by its sponsors at one
ime for its adoption. 1t is hard for
| Legislative hoiy to yield any rights
% the people.
Those who were so optimistic last
week that no assault would be made
It this session Of the Legislature upon
he woman's eight-hour law were al
ogether too optimistic, for that very
.hing has now been done.
The bill was introduced Thursday
by Senator Steiner of King County
and is known as Senate Bill III. 1t
gives the right in certain instances
10 work a nine-hour day, although
the total number of hours that may
be worked in one week shall not ex-
coed AS. 1t is the same plan that has
now been tried at every session of the
legislature.

PEACEFUL PICKETING
is UPHELD BY COURT

PHOENIX, Ariz,-In the Superior
Court at Phoenix, Judge Stanford
handed down a decision which is but
another nail driven in the coffin of
the Anti-Picket people and their doc
trine.
Arizona has statute that makes
peaceful picketing legal. The city of
Phoenix passed an ordinance in con-
travention of this statute and designed
protect a store maintained by the
Woolworths of New York, here.
A test case was made Of it . The
ity won the initial fight, but when
he case came up before Judge Stan
FORD for a hearing on appeal he re
'ersed the decision of the lower court
n the most emphatic terms. He said
hat not only was the ordinance IL
egal under the statute, but that it in
erfered with the fundamental right Of
free speach.

PRISONERS
VOICE PROTEST
AGAINST WAR
Imprisoned |. w. w. Send Out
a Ringing Demand
for Peace

We, the prisoners Of the Snohomish
county Jail, seventy-four in all. do
hereby raise our voice in protest
against declaration of war against
Germany.
Whereas, war is the wanton and
useless destruction of the lives of the
working class who derive no benefit
from same, and
Whereas, the most logical means
Of evading this murderfest would be
20 place an embargo on all munitions
and implements Of murder. In that
way we would show that we are civ
LIKED with humanitarian feeling,
and
Whereas, already six million lives
have been wasted by the greed Of
their plutocratic masters, we, the
workers, are getting tired, so tired of
being called for the purpose of shoot
ing our fellow work crswith whom we
have no quarrel, whether in foreign
lands or at home, feel that a more
san and not too hasty action be taken.
That the workers, thirty-eight million
in all Of the u. S., also the workers
in the belligerant countries, endeavor
70 raise their standard of living,
thereby reducing the great surplus
products, which has been the cause of
war in the Uarring nations, thereby
;etting their own national housekeep-
ng III order. That is Of more vital
Importance to them, which can be
plainly seen by recent occurrences,
and such instances as Calumet, Law
renee, West Virginia, Ludlow, Youngs-
town, Bayonne, Roosevelt, Patterson,
etc. where the workers have always
suffered unbelievable conditions of
our national housekeeping; and
Whereas, we realize the intrigues
of the press giving out false state
ments have created hysteria among
a few in a neutral nation for their
own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT,
Therefore, let lie be known that we
leventy-four, though few in number,
are vigorously opposed to war and
ask all cool-headed and well-meaning
people to do all in their power to pre-
vent the same, which would be great
calamity, thus making it easier to at
tain to that higher civilization which
is to be desired by all nations.

KILL TO MAKE

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
That men in the trenches Of Europe
are killing their brothers in no bette,

men richer and that when those mems

the statement made in letter appear

"a wounded German-quite boy

and he knew and know-that all this
talk of King and country and honor

COMMERCIAL CLUB
TRIES TO DICTATE
New Everett ShipbuildiRg Firm
Tells Bankers and MilImen
To Go To He'll.

The Everett Commercial Club is
still doing it's damndest to drive both
men and business concerns from the
city. A shipbuilding firm recently
purchased a site in Everett for the
purpose of building ships. Three
ship ways were to be built and sew
eral hundred men employed in the
yards but the Commercial Club thot
that it would be necessary to tell the
company who to employ, how many
hours the men should work and what
wages they should pay. The Com
mercial Club demanded that the new
firm empty no union men and that
ten hours should constitute a days
work, but sad to relate the shipbuild-
ing firm failed to get down on it's
knees and submit to the autocratic
policy Of the Commercial Club and
told the delegation so in plain words.
But the Commercial Club is some
power in this city, at least, the half
dozen men who would dictate the
policies of the community were so
enraged at the refusal Of the ship
building finn to act like good dogs
that it notified all lumber companies
and hardware companies that they
were rot to supply the shipbuilding
company with material and so the
company has found it impossible to
get material in this city and tn
work has been delayed. The company
however, are going to get their hard
ware supplies from Seattle and may
leased an old mill close to their yards
and will cut their own lumber. The
company has also notified the work
ers Of this city that it will work its
men eight hours day, pay the union
scale Of wages and employ both
union and non-union men with no dis
elimination.

ANli-LAbOR BILL
MEETS SAD FATE
BY N. D.SOL0NS
Senate Passes Semi Monthly
Payday Measure Despite
Efforts to Kill Ii.

BISMARK, n. D.-The Carr anti
l. w. w. bill, socalled, directed at all
laboring men, organized or not, met
sad fate when it was referred to
the state affairs committee. This is
a puzzle to the old gadg politicians
who keep trying to splitfup the farm
ers by introducing bills hat mtagon-
ize laboring men which must flock
here every year to help in harvest and
threshing. They can not understand
why the farmers will not legislate
against these men who have caused
,Aen more or less trouble. The Sc
cret is the farmers have come to see
it is not the little fellow hurting them
They are concerned now in getting the
big fellow off their backs.
Pay Day Bill Passed.
The railroad brotherhoods had their
inning yesterday when the senate pas
sed Senator Mostads semi-monthly
payday bill. An effort was made
some days ago to kill the bill in
committee but the league senator's
fought and put it across. 1t will have
no difficulty in passing the house.
Another bill supported by the league
and whose fate hung in the balance
for a couple of days was Senator
Wo'tad's full crew bill. The vote
absent and not
,o,ng. Lieut-Gov. Kraabel, presi-
dent of the senate, came to the rescue
and saved the bill from indefinite post
ponement. Next day motion was
made to reconsider the vote. A roll
call was demanded and the vote stood
"a to24 again, and once more Kraabel
saved the bill. In the meantime half
a dozen prominent railroad officials
had been lobbying against the bill. If
the bill ever gets to the house it is
safe.
Lien Law Passes

compensation act, has been recon-
fslended to pass by the committee Of

Fouse bill SO, the minimum hours and

Dor and will be recommended to pass.
House bill SO, the anti-injunction

OMAHA, Neb.-The city council

with this stipulation:
provided, that at the end of SO
years, the said road, depots and other
