Who Is Traitor
EDITOR THE TIMES:

EDITOR THE TINES:
Following is the miners ver-
sion of the labor troubles at Ken
necott, Alaska:
On June 16, 200 miners en-
ployed in the Jumbo and b.
nanza mines, Kennecott, Alaska,
walked out, as this was the only
way to enforce their demands.
This dispute was the fourth one
on Is months.
There was no walkout in the
other three cases, as the COM
pany officials bluffed, bulldozed
and browbeat the men into ac-
cepting the terms they were will
ing to offer. This time, at the
first hint of opposition, the min
ers walked out, as they had
learned from previous bitter ex-
perience that there was no chance
of converting talk into money at
the company's expense.
OF course, the company off
cials started raving about unfair
ness, declared they couldn't pos
sibly pay such wages, and appeal
ed to the patriotism of the men.
Charges of unfairness, coming
from a company with such an un-
savory past as the Kennecott Cop
per corporation, have a false ring
AS to the declaration that the
company couldn't pay such wages,
the men were not impressed, as
they knew that the company was
making a daily profit of at least
$4,000.
The proposed increase, affect
ing so few men, could not posi-
bly, affect those dividends to any

Swearing

EDITOR THE TINES:
l am going to ask you for space
enough in your valuable paper to
enter protest.
The vile, senseless, coarse, vul-
gar and irreverent habit of pro-
family has become well nigh uni
versal among men, and many
women, who are not thoro Chris
tians, and, l am sorry to say, some
are members of our churches.
Last Sunday morning in walk
ing from the corner of Ninth st.
and Pacific ave. to the depot one
was constantly passing little gath
erings and men discussing the
strike and kindred subjects, and
loud oaths were to be heard every
where.
What Gods prophet said of his
land and day is literally true of
Tacoma; namely, 1.-The land
groaneth because of swearing"
Why do men so far forget
their own self-respect, their re-
spect for the best people in the
community, and their reverence
for Almighty God as to take His
sacred name in vain? Why?
This wicked habit is as preva-
lent among boys as it is among
men, and why? 1t is because
boys get their idea of what is
manly from men, and If the ma
jority of men are profane the ma
jority of boys will think it manly
to do the same thing.
If there is any law in this
state to prohibit men from spew-
ing out the vile stuff that is in
their degenerate hearts into the
sensitive ears of decent people l,
for one, wish to plead for its
enforcement.
This would be better place to
raise a family IL there was more
prayer and less swear.
Yours for public decency,
j. II. CARTER.

End of World
EDITOR THE TIMES.

EDITOR THE TINES:
! note that your church editor
says definitely the world is NOT
coming to an end. Personally
hope he is right.
But-let me tell you-I was
listening in a prayer meeting when
a good brother arose and, with a
flourish of argument finally
wound up with this warning:
Brethren, we are living in the
last days. How do / know? The
Bible says, One shall be taken
and another left Look all about
you. In Tacoma they are taking
the men to the army and leaving
the women at home. One shall
be taken and the other left.

SMITHS GLAD
STRIKES OFF
So farewell, old boy,
Here's a push just to help
Send yOu tumbling;
Yelp, darn you, yelp!

Police Chief Smith heaved
sigh of relief Thursday as he
dismissed all special officers used
during the street car strike and
gave orders that all officers who
had been working 12-hour shift
could resume their regular eight
hour beats.
81 am mighty glad that the
strike is ended" said Chief
Smith. "Altho we got thru with
a minimum of trouble, there was
a constant tension and feeling Of
impending violence which kept
the police department on its toes.
The strike was well conducted
and want to compliment the
street car men for their efforts
to avoid violence of any kind.

Kneed a Knight
EDITOR THE TIMES:

EDITOR THE TINES:
Please read this clipping from
the Calgary Alber,an and tell me
what you think OF 1t:
"rhere is a rumor that r. b.
Bennett will be knighted on Vic
toria day. Alberta is In need OF
another knight. We have only
one knight. When we look back
to our pre-knighted days and see
the improved conditions since we
got a knight, we are even more
convinced that we should have
another knight. The time is fast
approaching when we should have
a baron"

FIRE TRUCKS UP
TO CITY ATTORNEY

Before approving Commissioner
Pettit's plan of going into debt
for s67,500 worth of motorized
fire apparatus, the city council
asked City Attorney Harmon
Thursday for an opinion on the
legality of assuming such a debt
without asking for a bond cleo
tion.
Harmon ruled unofficially that
the council could not go into debt
for the fire apparatus without
asking the taxpayers approval.

The chorus work was excellent. The

training and captivated the audience.
Rounds of applause greeted Mrs. Os-
borne as she appeared to thank the
Omaha public, who has given their en-
tire support and cooperation in her
every effort during the five years in

among the public at large, she has
grown in esteem and popularity and
her loss to Omaha will be greatly felt.
