 In civilized war a prisoner can be compelled to tell only his name, rank and religion But this is not civilized war, and there are ways of making prisoners talk. One of the most ef- fectlye ways-quite humane-is to tie a prisoner fast, head and foot, and then tickle his bare feet with a feather. More severe measures have frequently been used-the water curer for in- stance-but I'm bound to say that nearly all the German prisoners saw were quite loquacious and willing to talk, and the accuracy of their infor- nation, when later confirmed by raids, was surprising. The iron discipline which turns them into mere children in the presence of their officers seemed to make them subseryient and obedient to the officers who commanded us. l mean; of course the priyates. In this way the system worked against the fatherland. Captured German officers, especially Prussians, were a nasty lot We never tried to get information from them, for We knew they would lie, hap oily and very intelligently-well in- structed in the art

Under orders, We discarded our trench helmets and substituted knitted skullcaps or empty mess tins. Then we blackened our hands and faces with ashes from camp 6re so as to avoid being seen as long as possible. After this they load ed us into motor trucks and took US up to "Shrapnel Corner" from which point we went in on foot Just before we left a staff captain came along and gave us a little talk.

The Bomb Raid.

The point we were to attack had been selected long before by our scouts. It was mot, as you might suppose, the weakest point in the German line. It wss, on the contrary, the strongest. It was considered that the moral effect of cleaning up a weak point would be comparatively small, whereas to break in at the strongest point would be something really worth while. And if we were to take a chance it really

At regular meeting of Everett
Typographical Union No. 40, Dele
gate Jack Brakeman made his report
of the doings of a conference of
printers held in Tacoma on the 9th
of this month to consider a plan for
the adoption of a union wage scale
and contract with news and job en-
ployers, the life of the contract by
each union to end on the same day.
Portland Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia,
Aberdeen, Everett and Bellingham
were represented.
The organization is to be called
the Northwest Scale Conference, and
it is to work in harmony with the
Northwest Typographical Conference.
The conference recommended to all
unions to sign wage scale contracts
expiring the second of September,
1918, the same as Seattle's agree
ment, with clause providing that
the scale may be re-opened at any
time upon giving thirty days no.

full benefit of the streets, lights, wa
ter, police, and above all, fire pro-
lection, which tends to greatly re-
duce their fire insurance rates; and
Whereas, the Everett Pulp and Pa
per Company, has expressed itself as
willing to pay for fire protection,
providing the other industries of this
community do likewise; and
Whereas, The buildings of the City
of Everett are placed in a dangerous
condition owing to the fact that the
fire department is short of equip
ment that would render it almost
helpless to combat big blaze at
one of these outside industries and
big blaze in the city of Everett at the
same time; therefore be it
Resolved, That the Everett Trades
Council, representing great portion
of the taxpayers of the city of Ev-
erett, hereby suggest to the city COM
missioners that they Immediately
notify all industrial plants that have
Heretofore received the services of the
fire department, to pay tax equal
to that assessed on all property with
in the city limits, otherwise the fire
department shall be authorized to
cease to answer fire calls from the
said industries now outside the city
limits; and be it further
Resolved, that we suggest that the
commissioners take immediate steps
to notify the residents of the Lowell
community that in return for the
fire protection given them by the
Everett fire department, they should
incorporate and help pay for the
said protection; and be it further
Resolved, That the city commits
sioners be requested to make public
their reasons for not adopting these
suggestions, should they take such
stand.

Whereas, The Commissioners of the

Whereas, Suggestions have been

effect that several employees of the
City of Everett be dropped from the

Whereas, The said employees ap-

SAVE TOM MOONEY

A communication was received
from the Irish World relating to the
efforts now making to save Tom
Mooney. The following is the letter:
New York, Sept. 81, 1917.
Everett Trades Council:
We have just received a telegram
from Tom Mooney, the Labor Or
ganizer, informing us that the SEN
tence imposed upon him-based on
what has been proven to be perjured
testimony has been affirmd by the
Supreme Court of California.
The case is to be carried to the
United States Supreme Court. We
ask you and every member of Or
ganized Labor to stand by Tom
Mooney till he receives Justice
which we are confident he will OBJ
tain when his case comes before the
higher court.
1t is for Labor Unions of this
country to see to it that the SEN
tence obtained by means of perjury
shall not be carried out. 1t is the
solemn duty of every member of
every Labor Union in every State of
the Union to resolve that he shall do
all in his power to prevent this ju-
dicial murder. Public meetings should
be held in all parts of the country
to protest against the black crime
the Chamber of Commerce of San
Francisco would like to have per-
petrated. The press should be de-
luged with letters exposing the ma
ture of that crime.
The life of Organized Labor is i'm
perilled as much as is the life of Tom
Mooney. If he goes to the seat
fold, the first skirmish will be won
by "the great interests" in their war
to dominate our government and de-
stroy the liberties of the American
people. They must be defeated in
this first skirmish Tom Mooney
must not be made the victim of Ok
mans perjury.
Yours very sincerely,
ROBERT E. FORD.

that this could best be accomplished
by throwing the meetings of each
union open to members of all other
unions in the trade. This has al
ready been done in several districts
with excellent results in promoting
a better spirit among all men,

September 81.
To Officers of All Central Bodies,
Building Trades Councils, and Lo-
cal Unions Affiliated:
Greeting-True patriotism, an ex-
preston of love and defense of our
country and its flag, brings US at
this time to the consideration of our
boys now going to the front. We,
as trade unionists, have peculiar
understanding of the words "Going
to the Front" with the right foot
forward and our mind intent on
making good.
Your Union is sending the most
physically fit, and the truest trade
unionists to the terrible conflict,
as trade unionists at home we must
do our bit too, where we can, for
the comfort of our boys in active SER
vice in and behind the trenches.
You all have, of course, noticed
that the agencies of the Tobacco
Trust, and the United Cigar Stores
are centralizing an effort to get their
non-union products into all the camps
and having them sent abroad for
the troops in active service.
Among the activities is pa
triotic appeal to the public for sub
scriptions to buy and send tobacco
and cigarettes to our heroes of the
Army and Navy.
We cannot, and do not question,
the patriotic motives of the appeals
to the patriotic feelings of the pub
lie in general, but it would be too
much to expect any of the activities
in this campaign on the part of the
Tobacco Trust will have any trade
union sentiment in them, and all the
tobacco and cigarettes they may
send will be made in their own nom
union factories, none of it bearing
the Union Label.
We do not want our Union boys
to think their fellows back home
have forgotten them in their ex-
tremity and forced them while watch
ing and fighting the enemy to use
brands of tobacco and cigarettes that
are not in accord with their Trade
Union sentiments.
We are, therefore, appealing to
your patriotic and Trade Union SEN
timent when donating to the Army
and Naval Patriotic Tobacco Fund,
to see that your good Union earned
money is placed where goods bought
for our Army and Navy boys will
be spent for Union Labeled products,
instead of giving it into the hands
of the Tobacco Trust interests. We
ask you, therefore, when donations
are made to the Army and Navy
Tobacco Fund in cash, check or 9TH
erwise, to send it either to The
American Federation of Labor Of
flee in Washington, D. c., or to the
office of The Tobacco Workers In
ternational Union, and we will for
ward it to the A. F. of L., and you
can rest assured that all tobacco
and cigarettes sent to our Union
