Fund for EMPLOYEES.

Two hundred dollars has been appro-
priated by the Washington Board of

that the strike occurred, but now
that the strike exists the quickest
and best way out of it will be the
best. On the other hand we are
told that many Of the employees OF
the mill have been with the firm for
years and that they have been
faithful to their employers and have
given them the best that was in
them.
Like many ether trades the Tex
tile Workers organized themselves
into a union and nearly every mau
and women in the Woolen Mill
joined the organization. 1t is true
that after the union was organized
that the firm gave their employees
an increase in wages and afterwards
gave them another increase which
we are told amounts TO ten per cent.
About the only thing that now

The strike of the Textile Work
ers al the big Shuler and Benning
hofen plant is yet unsettled and
just when the firm and the officers
of the uuiop will get together can
not be said at this time,
1t appears to many who have
given this strike some thought that
it could be settled in a short time
and the textile workers put back
to work, if little give and take
method was used by both sides.
We are convinced from reports re-
ceived from the members of the
Textile Workers Union, that the
Shulers and Benninghofens who are
owners of the mill have never be-
fore had strike OF any kind and
that ,hey have always treated their
employees with respect.
1t is really an unfortunate affair

PEERLESS
STRIKE
SETTLED.
Men Returned To Work
Thursday

The first break in the strikes ex-
isting III the city occurred Tuesday
at the plant Of the Peerless Foundry
Co. when the officials Of this com
pany and Of the molders' union,
representing the men who went on
strike at this plant last week sign
ed articles OF agreement which will
prevail at this plant in the future
This is the first settlement to be ef-
fected
The conditions under which the
men returned towork are not given
out but the officials both of the
company and the union say they
were satisfactory to all concerned

Windows Boarded Up. 6uards
On Duty.

There is little OF no change i'll the
strike situation al the Champion
Coated Paper company. The win
dows are boarded up and the armed
guards can be seer patrolling the
plant on the inside and also on the
outside.
What makes this labor dispute so
peculiar is the fact that the men are
sticking like glue and not one of
them has broke ranks and even
thought Of deserting their fellow
workers. We are told that the men
are loosing no time in finding other
Jobs to tide them over until the
victory is finally secured. w. r..
Smith, first vice president Of the
Paper Makers International Union
reports that everything is looking
rosy and that the men can not loose
this fight if they remain true to
their obligation. He also reports
that he doesn't want any more men
to leave on account OF not having
enough to do picket duty.
Another peculiar part Of this
fight is the fact that Nj Peter
Thompson has changed his mind
50 many times in the past few
weeks that it is impossible to figure
out just what is coming next One
day he announced THAT the mill was
closed indefinitely, few days al
ter the announcement came that
the windows were being boarded
up few days later he mill was
running full blast, still a few days
later and the mill would not resume
operations until December "A lit
tie later OIL the mill was going to
start up gradually and men would
be placed in the mill 10 make paper.

Lehmkuhl Brothers, ]. Edward
and Carl w There ism a more
popular nor successful firm in this
city than the one conducted By
these two well known young men.
On February 10 1915, they bought
out the furnishing goods and hat
store Of G. A. Henes in the Hotel
Strobel building at No. & South
Third street, and nave since been
conducting it under the firm name
Of Lehmkuhl Brothers.
In the early spring Of this year
they suffered a severe loss by fire
which compelled the closing OF
their store for some time, notwith-
standing this, however, they came
back stronger than ever, business
going right along showing big
gains over the same periods OF for
mer years.
Immediately after the fire every
bit of the old stock was sold al
special sale, the store was thor
oughly remodeled and a brand new
stock of goods for the summer
trade was put in

men, both Of them being members
OF the Musician Union Edward
being the secretary Of that organi-
lation nearly years Previous
to becoming a proprietor he was
prominent for many years i'll the
Retail Clerks Union. Carl is
equally as well known, having been
in the automobile trade prior to
going into business with his
brother
Believing in union principles and
that this city is entitled to a store
wherein a union man can get any
thing he wants n furnishing goods
and hats bearing the union label,
they have selected their stock with
this idea in view. Anything that
one may need in their line bearing
the union label is TO be found in
their store, even down to collar
buttons. Organized labor appre-
ciates this Judging from the de
mands being made for goods bear
ing the label.
The success of this popular firm
is very pleasing TO their host Of
friends. -AaV

exists that blocks a settlement oi
the strike is the recognition of the
union Like all other firms that
have never had a working agree
ment with labor union the Shule.
Benninghofen company object tc
having an agreement with their
employees, and will not recognize
them as a labor organization
The reason for this is because
they have been led to be-
lieve that after they recognize the
union and sign their agreement,
the Textile Workers will have en-
tire control of the plant. This is
not true and if the Shulers and
Benninghofens will give ii trial
we are sure that there will never
be another strike il that plant.
An agreement with labor union
IS as binding on the employees as it
is on the firm if both live up to the
agreement there will be no cause
for strike or any other trouble.
Many business men are also under
the impression that if they sign an
cement with labor union that
they will not have the power to
discharge their help if they find il
necessary. This is also untrue and
if an employe fails te perform his
or her work properly they can be
discharged Immediately.
Knowing that the firm Of Shuler
& Benninghofen have always been
reasonable in their dealings with
their help, we feel confident that if
they would meet a committee If
their employees and draw up a work
irg agreement, the trouble would be
at an end forever. Why not give
it trial and prove to the satisfac
tion Of gerybody concerned that a
working agreement with a labor
union is good OF worthless. We
are sure that if it was given a trial
il would be found to work out for
the best Tor the employees and for
the firm
In conclusion we want 10 say that
very few strikes occur where labor
unions have working agreements
with the firm, aud that strikes al
ways occur In plants and factories
that will not recognize. the union
and meet the committees.
If an agreement was entered into
between the Sbuler and Benuinp
hofen concern aud the Textile.
Workers, every labor organization
il tie ely including the central
body would sec 10 i tbat th4 Tex,
lie Workers would abide by it to
the letter.

Indications are Every Allotment will Be

ing WenatChee Raised $500.

All indications point to over-sub-
scription OF the states contribution to
the hundred million Red Cross Fund.
Almost every town and city in the state
indicates a willingness to give more
literally than hoped for. At an in
formal meeting of the citizens Of We
natchee last Monday evening, called to
devise ways and means of raising the
IS, 900 asked OF that town, the amount
was over-subscribed $500 in rush,
after it was announced that subscrip-
tons would be taken before the meet
ing adjourned. Ed Ferguson, We
natchee live wire started the slide with
a contribution OF SIS, and from that
time on it was easy.
Peshastin held the first meeting
Tuesday evening, and Of the $500 ex-
pected from that town. at once pledged
over $500.
Leavenworth is down on the book for
81 900, and those who have the matter
in charge are confident the amount will
be exceeded. The campaign did not
commence here as soon as elsewhere,
but this town will come in on the home
stretch as usual. We can not give the
exact amount so far pledged but it was
we'll up near the thousand mark
Wednesday, with five more days to 60
on. The women came thru with flying
colors on Red Cross tag day and the
men may be counted on to hold up
their end.

Why Is The World Still UnCOnverted
And Who Is To Blame

Pastor R. H. Barber OF New York
city will deliver his oft repeated lee
ture on the above subject at the Com
munity church, Peshastin, June 25th.
This is most timely and interest
ing subject because recent Missionary
reports show that in the last hundred
years the heather population Of the
world has jumped from 500 million to
1900 million and thinking people are
asking many questions. why has
not the sacrifice OF so many noble lives
and such vast sums of money accom-
plished greater results and what are the
prospects for the future7 Some blame
the Missionaries. others charge the
failure to a lack OF funds; and still others
urge that more missionaries would solve
the problem.
Pastor Barber shows that the Bible
fully and clearly answers all these ques-
tons. Surely if Divine Wisdom per
mits this failure, every true child OIL
God should be glad to know why.
Come and hear this lecture. You will
be surprised. It's free.
