"THE KINGDOM OF MAN"

Scott Nearing, of Toledo Univer-
sity. in an address at the First Con-
gregational Church on Sunday even
ing, January 8, declared that
"If the minister can't tell the
truth without it costing him his job,
he ought to step out on the corner
and proclaim it.
1--WE have heard too much about
the kingdom of God and not enough
about the kingdom of man. When
babies die at the rate of one out of
every four it becomes a subject not
for prayer, but for work." said he.
"The public is most interested IN
kingdom that will teach it how to
live "a hours a day and seven days
a week. The average man doesn't
care anything about Nebudchadnez-
Ear, or any of those ancient charac-
tiers. He wants practical advice and
information about present day con-
ditions.
eve teach our children about pa
triotism, equal opportunity and equal
rights. You can put all that maud
lin stuff in the waste basket.
"If an industry pays man $40
week and he can't properly live
on it, if a store pays mother such
poor wages as to result in gradual
starvation of herself and babies, if
city like New York pays many Of
its laborers less than $500 year
when it has been proven that $84O
is the minimum living wage, then
the public schools should teach these
facts"

UNIONISM IS
FUNDAMENTAL

Biologists tell us that the air
about us is forever laden with all
sorts of germs. All we have to do
is to provide the right conditions for
them to flourish, and they will settle
and colonize and grow with fabulous
quickness. But without suitable soil,
they cannot possibly get a foothold.
The world is equipped with every
thing necessary to make mankind
prosperous and happy, and there is
in the heart of humanity everything
to make possible the enjoyment Of
the good things of the world.
The thing needed is to adjust the
conditions Of society so that the in
terests and capabilities of mankind
can have access to the things of life.
This is the purpose of the organ
lied labor mOvement-Ex.

There seems to be a laXity on the
part of most organizations in having
their secretaries turn in a report of
the regular meetings and other in
formation regarding their organiza-
tions as would be of interest to the
other organizations.
First, your organization is gong
backward and you are losing your
grip on your trade due to the non
interestedness of the members or
otherwise. Second, that you are sell
fish and do not wish the other
trades to know how we'll you are
prospecting, for fear they will ask
you to lend them a hand in better
ing their conditions.
Either one of the above reasons
is sufficient to completely destroy
any organization if given time, and
should be discouraged as much as
possible.
Come out in the front in your true
colors, let the world know you are
holding your meetings regularly and
are making progress and doing some
thing for the great field of laboring
people.
See that you appoint a man who
wants to see the organization grow,
and who will so report the benefits
of the organization in such man
ner as to make the man who is not
a member of the organization desire
to join at once, not only for his own
protection, but for the protection
and advancement of the trade which
he follows.
A labor paper can do much to help
with the organization work if real
live correspondent from each organ
ization would only be appointed.
Get together, union men, and if
you are not now carrying on a cam
paign for new members, see that
your local at the next regular meet
ing makes a special effort to get
every man working at your trade
to join the union. You will be sur
prised at the result and your local
will be considerably strengthened

BRIEF HISTORY OF
THE MUTUAL LAUNDRY

Seattle, June 26, 1917
Editor Labor Journal
The Laundry Workers Union had
been in existence for many years
with little or no success toward or
ganization of this craft in the city,
since but few of the workers had
sufficient courage to join. The
laundry owners of Seattle had
powerful organization for their mu-
tual benefit, known as the Laundry
Association of Seattle. They stood
unalterably in favor of the closed
shop against union men and women.
For a worker to join the union
meant the loss of his position. If
driver saw fit to quit or was dis
charged for any reason, he was
barred from all the laundries in Sc
attic for one year. In many cases
the working hours and conditions
were worse than cattle are expected
to endure. 1t costs $25 per month
to board a horse in Seattle, yet in
many cases women workers were not
getting that much. Conditions had
grown to be intolerable, and there
seemed to be no hope of freedom. In
the latter part of 1913 the Laundry
Workers Union, as court of last

dry business, and launched the Mu-
tual Laundry Co., which promised
the emancipation of the laundry
slaves. From the start all kinds of
pitfalls were set for the new or
ganization, which at times promised
to wreck it. About $4,000 in stock
was finally sold to unions and in
dividual members, location was Sc
lected, and building contracted for.
At times things looked as though
the Mutual would never operate I'M
der the guidance of organized labor.
The new company had been induced
to loan a good part of the equipment
fund to complete the bulldlng, ana
at this time the owner of the lot and
building endeavored to defraud the
Mutual by selling his equity. This
seemed to be the death of the Mu
tual Laundry Co. At the darkest
hour the Seattle Labor Temple As
ISOLATION came to the rescue with
the needed financial assistance and
guidance, and as result the Mutual
came to life again. A great deal of
trouble was experienced in the pur-
chase of equipment, since the Laun-
dry Association had advised the To-
cal and San Francisco machinery
supply houses to not sell the Mutual.
But machinery was finally secured,
and installed. The the laundry man
agement was refused the privilege

of purchasing supplies in Seattle,
and until this day the Mutual has
been unable to purchase laundry sup
plies locally. The local supply firms
claimed they dare not sell to the
union laundry. But all these trou-
bles only tended to make the little
band at the Mutual more determined,
and as result, the Mutual is now
one of the successful laundries of
Seattle, doing over 81 900 per week
in business, and still growing. The
best of work is being done under
the best working conditions possible,
and the girls are being paid from
$40 to SIS per week, instead of less
than enough to board horse. Also,
the monthly reports of the laundry
company show a healthy margin of
profit to the stockholders.
Negotiations are now pending for
the purchase of new equipment,
which will give the Mutual capacity
for $4,000 per week in business.
Watch the Mutual grow. When in
Seattle call and see it.

LEADERS

Some leaders lead too far ahead,
Digh-visioned, unafraid!
Yet ages after they are dead
We tread the paths they made.
Some leaders lead too far behind,
Nor seem to keep the track;
Yet they bring on the deaf and
blind,
Who else would hold US back.
And some seem not to lead at all,
Slow moving on the way;
Yet help the weary feet and small
OF those who else would stray.
Lead on, o Leaders of the Race,
Your work is long and wide;
We need your help in every place
Before, Behind, Beside.

old Dodge home, built in the days
when Georgetown was a thriving city
and Washington still a wilderness.
Much Of the property around Bethes-

sugar. She explains to inquiring
friends-for they all ask about the box
that all the women in Sweden carry
those boxes with them when they go
to teas and receptions for each guest
must provide their own sugar or go
without. Mrs. Randall seems to think
that prices of everything are all cheap
in this country compared to what they
are in Sweden. 1t is said that IL every
womap in this country would deny
herself just one teaspoonful of sugar
a day they would in that way save
eleven tons of sugar a year to send
to our allies.
A letter recently received from
Mrs. Benet, but written some time in
october speaks of real winter wea-
ther there and everyone dreading the
winter without coal. There seems
to be small chances of any one be-
ing comfortable there this winter.
There is much work to be done and
one truly can't do good work and keep
well If they are half frozen most of
the time. Last winter there was
much suffering for want of coal, but
everyone smiled and exclaimed
"C'est Ia guerre." People in Paris
are now reduced-that was in OctO-
ber-to one pound of sugar per per-
son a month and have to use bread
cards and coal cards and great res
trictions on milk with promises of
greater later. No one can have any
milk after a. m. so it is lemon for
afternoon tea or go without.
The same letter tells of a war we'd
ding in Paris, a young English widow
and a major OF the Belgian army. 1t
was a quiet affair with only a few
present, followed by a small breakfast.
Every man present was in uniform
and were all from the fighting line,
bronzed with their war medals across
their breasts. One of them was from
Brussels and said that his wife and
daughter who were still there wrote
that they had to pay 100 francs for
kilto Of tea-two pounds-and sixty
francs for a kilo of coffee If they
were lucky enough to find any. That
is at the rate of ten dollars a pound
for tea and six dollars for coffee.
When he was asked about coal he
said there was none for any price.

troops in camp in France ana par

such as throwing the grenade. Their
baseball experience is proving to be
useful now. They also astonish the
poilus with their long distance throw
ing bombs. Paris sees few OF the
American officers as headquarters is
not in Paris.
Sterling Larrabee is in Paris now;
that is was there when he last
wrote. He is another Washington
ian of whom the city should be
proud. He set sail almost before
the rest of the world realized we
were at war and has been in the
thick of the fight ever since. He is
the son of Mrs. C.. F. Larrabee of
this city. When he wrote he was
at American headquarters with Col
Nelson E. Margetts, whose wife is
living at Fort Myer.
The Colonel was one of the first
of our officers to go over. Lieut..
