Trades Council.

Animated discussion of the alleged
intolerant attitude toward organized
labor OF the proprietor of wood
and coal yard in this city was fea-
ture of the Council meeting August
I16. 1t appeared from the discussion
that the wood and coal man became
infamed over the resignation of some
Iof his employees who sought employ
ment under eight-hour conditions in
preference to the 12-hour practice of
his establishment, and he denounced
this presumptuous action of the
workers in unmeasured terms. He
declared 1t his intention. SO it is re-
ported, to see that these men and
Others Of that ilk suffer the full pen
atty Of the CONSUMPTION law, besides
doing his best through personal pro-
test to prejudice the latest employer

shot," the wood man is reported to
have said. Such unbridled use of
the tongue. in the opinion of the
speakers at the Council meeting, will
let loose some chickens that will
come home to roost.
The Labor Day committee on
speakers announced that that part
|of the program was complete. At
the basket picnic at Priest Poin,
park. Sunday, September 2, Mrs.
Frances King Headlee, secretary OF
the state welfare commission, will be
on the program, as will Charles Perry
Taylor, secretary of the State FEEDER
alton of Labor. 1t is presumed that
these two speakers will attract many
people to the park.
The principal speaker on Labor
Day will be w. H. Kaufman Of What
icom county. Mr.. Kaufman is an as
Isociate editor Of the ofiicial paper OF
the Washington State Grange. He
has always been in the van of any
progressive movement, and has been
la longtime and able advocate of \
change in our system of taxation,
which will be the subject of his ad-
Idress in Capitol Park on Labor Day.

Shingle-weavers.

An open meeting which attracted
many visitors featured the Friday
nights session of the Shingle-weav
ers' Union. Timber workers present
far outnumbered the regular Weaver
members Of the union, and the dis
cussion revolved around the strike Of
timber workers.
Organizer McCarty of San Francis
co, representing Ship Carpenters. was
Ia speaker, giving information as to
labor conditions up and down the
coast. According to Mr.. McCarty
the solidarity of the working people
was never so much in evidence as at
the present time. The desire for or
ganization is spreading into fields
heretofore considered barren.
Two local trades unionists also ad
dressed the meeting-President C.
B. Young of the Trades Council, and
Fred Hudson.
A most encouraging bulletin Of the
progress of the eight-hour strike was
read to the meeting. The facts re-
lated indicate complete success to the
workers in the near future. A circu.
lar sent out by the strike committee
contains these paragraphs:
"The Lumber Trust has no human
ity; 1t has no patriotism. 1t brushes
labor; it robs the government.
"It has half million dollars for a
slush fund; it has another half mil
lion for advertising space in newspa-
pers; the one to hire thugs and strike
breakers, the other to befuddle the
public mind with its double-meaning
figures. But it has not a cent for
labor; it has nothing for the govern.
'ment.
1T says wages have been raised 40
per cent since 1913: it does not say
wages were reduced 80 per cent in
the same period.
1T says the cost of producing lum-

sold, according to the Lumber Trust,
for from $3.50 to $14.50. In this
year OF unparalleled prosperity the

U-BOATS' TOLL
 12, LOWEST YET

London, Nov. - The Admiralty announced last night that British vesr sells sunk by submarines during the last week were the fewest since unre- stricted submarine warfare began early in the year. Only eight vessels of more than 1, 600 tons and four un- der that tonnage were sunk by mine or submarine. No fishing vessels were destroyed.
 During the week there were 2,284 arrivals and 2,s7s departures. Six British merchant vessels, including 1lve previouslyy, were attacked unsuc7 cessfully.
 z Although the tonnage of the vessels distroyed is not given, it is believed that the weeks tonnage loss also is the lowest since the ruthless cam paign began. Tn the week ended Sept 16 only eight vessels of 1,soo tonr or more were destroyed, but the enemy sank 20 smaller vessels. The next lowest record was for the week ended Sept, 30, when Is vessels were sunk, II Of them over the 1.600 toH mark. s
 A despatch from Rome shows the Italian losses for the week also were low. For the week ended Sept. the total was two steamships and three sailing craft.
 A despatch from Paris last nigh, said that the French losses by sub marine for the week were one vessel of more than 1900 tons and one un der that tonnage.

The Kaisers Attitude
 Toward Us In 1898


 During the weeks which succeed ed the sinking of the Maine (Febru- ary, 15, 189S,) John Hay, Secretary of State at the time, left nothing un- done to propitiate England; and he worked to good purpose; for after the declaration of war, Germany very se- cretly asked England to join her and France in putting their fleet between Cuba and the United States fleet. The English Foreign Secretary replied promptly .Nor and he added that if the British fleet took any part in the war, it would be to stand between the European fleets and the American.
 The immense service which Eng land rendered the United States by this act cannot be over estimated, and it should more than offset, as I think, the unfriendliness of the British Tor ies toward us during our Civil War. Reflect for moment what would have happened if England had listen ed to Germany's reptilian proposal. With those three European fleets guarding the coast of Cuba, we could never have reached that Island, much less have landed our armies on it. And so we should. have been forced to call off the War with Spain, hu- initiation for which modern history las no parallel Or if our ships had been so insane as to attack those o1 the European coalition, we should have had a war with England, France and Germany on our hands, our At lantic seaboard would have defense less, and all our sea cities from i Charleston to Passport would have been at the mercy of our enemies What losses we should have suffered what huge indemnities we should have had to pay, who can compute. Kaiser William remarked at the time, to an Englishman who repeated he remark to MT. Joseph Chamber.
