AGREEMENT "ONLY"
A SCRAP OF PAPER

You can't trust them. The truth
is not in them.
When. on November 27 the strik-
ing telephone girls returned to work
in Tacoma they were met by w. G.
Moore, representing the Company,
and told to enter the office, two at
time and "sign an applications"
for work.
This company was a party to the
agreement made and signed by the
Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Com
pany, the International Brotherhood
of Electrical Workers and the Unit
ed States Mediation Commission.
This is the paragraph of that agree
ment in regard to the resumption of
work by the telephone girls:
GAIL employees now on strike or
those who ceased to work for the
company or whose services were
discontinued because of the strike,
who report for duty within seven
days after this agreement becomes
effective, shall be employed without
discrimination. All such employees
shall retain for all purposes, includ-
ing the companys benefit plan, their
former standing the same as if there
had not been any break in their
employment during the strike"
Hardly was the ink dry in the
signatures of this agreement before
the company violated it. Like the
Kaiser's Chancellor, Won Bettmann-
Hollweg, w. A. Moore and the men
he serves can see nothing sacred
about an obligation of this kind.
Verify, the man who said that
corporations have no SOULS" was a
wise one.

STRIKES THAT

coast has ended with recognition of

Labor Commissioner Testifies

Tuesday of this week Hon. C. H.
Younger, State Labor Commissioner
was called before the Presidents In
dustrial Mediation Commission now
holding hearings in the city of Sc
attic. Aside from testifying to the
general labor conditions throughout
the state, Mr.. Younger is expected to
give the Commission some specific
information on the abuses of the
employment agency business in this
The labor journal. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1909-1976, 1917-12-07

State. Since the State Law making
it unlawful for employment agencies
to charge a fee to workmen seeking
employment or information that
would lead to employment was de-
clared unconstitutional by the Su-
preme Court of the United States,
many of the old time employment
agencies of the State have returned
to their old practices and frequent
complaints of fraud have been filed
with the State Labor Commissioner.
| In the case of the Lawrence EN-
ployment Agency of Spokane, which
was handled by Deputy Labor Com
missioner Miles of that district, the
agency was found guilty of sending
number of workmen to a distant
point only to find that when they
arrived there the jobs for which they
paid did not exist. In this case the
smen were paid for their time and
expense by the agency after the
case had been prosecuted by the La
Dor Commissioners office before the
city council of Spokane. Mr.. Younger
is of the opinion from the many re-
ports that reach his office that
there are many such violations be-
ing committed throughout the state
and he is determined to stamp out
the abuses.
Judging by the report on wages
paid to claimants who have been
compensated by the workmen's Com
pensation for injuries received in the
hazardous employments of the state,
wages in this state have increased
r0Ia per cent during the fiscal year
ending September 30th, 1917. For
the fiscal year October 1st, 1915 to
September 30th, 1916, the average
wage was $2.93; for the fiscal year
October 1st, 1916 to September S0th,
1917, the average wage was 1924
an increase of l0h per cent-an in
crease that by no means enables the
wage worker to keep even in sight
of the rapidly advancing cost of
living.
The claim department of the In
dustrial Insurance Commission re-
ports 1918 non-fatal accidents and
28 fatal accidents for the month of
November. The accidents for the
month of October were 1850 non
fatal and 2S fatal, while for the cor
responding month of November,
1916, there were 1904 non-fatal and
20 fatal accidents.

Prominent among the social events
of the week were the entertainments
afforded at the j. /. Monks home on
Saturday afternoon and Sunday eve
ming.
On both occasions the Monastery
was prettily decorated with roses
and other cut flowers rendering it
unusually attractive.
Mrs. Monks was the hostess Satur-
day at a one o'clock bridge lunch
con, four courses. Mrs. Peter John
son and Mrs. f. B. Paterson of Sand
point, and Mrs. w. D. Baxter, were
guests of honor.
Following the serving of a delic-
ious repast the guests passed several
enjoyable hours at the bridge tab
les, Mrs. George r. Gray winning
first prize for the high score, Mrs.
E. VI. Flood the second and Mrs. H.
A. Gale the consolation prize. The
hostess presented each of the guests
of honor with mementoes of the day.
Sunday evening Mr.. and Mrs.
Monks entertained a company of 20
guests at a five o'clock Bohemian
dinner served cafeteria style, the
hostess presiding at the coffee urn.
The dinner was in honor of DR.. and
Mrs. E. B. Patterson and Mr.. and
Mrs. Peter Johnson, of Standpoint,
and S. D. Taylor, of Boise.
To name the separate dishes served
would give no idea of the delectabil-
ity of the repast, but the well
cleaned plates bespoke of the hostess
culinary art.
The evening was spent in a hap
hazard manner, the guests playing
cards, singing or playing the piano,
or swapping stories as they chose.

auction bridge party Friday evening
when Mr.. and Mrs. Mccoy and Mr..
and Mrs. E. M. Flood entertained
large company of their friends in
honor of Mr. and Mrs. w. D. Baxter.
To say that the evening passed
most enjoyably is but partly express
sive. The bridge games entertained
the fore part of the evening and the
prizes for the high scores were won
by Mrs. c. w. King and Frank
Bottum. Mr.. and Mrs. Baxter were
presented with a handsome guest
prize.
A delicious lunch was served, Mr..

ing assisted by Mr.. Wilson. After
the lunch Mrs. Mccoy and Mrs. Pat
terson, the latter of Standpoint, en-
tertained with piano and vocal num-
bers. The evening proved such a
pleasureable event and passed so
quickly that it was long past
midnight before the guests re-
allied the lateness of the hour and
made their adieus.
The Mccoy home was beautifully
decorated for the occasion with cut
flowers of pink and white. Great
clusters of pink and white sweet
peas, pink dahlias and pink asters
decorated all parts of the house.

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
WeIl-known local druggist saws every
body is using old-time recipe of
Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and Iustre.
or when it fades, turns gray, duh and
hfeless is caused by a lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful.
and thousands of women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so at
tractfve, use only this o1d-tfme recipe
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of other
ingredients by asking al any drug
store for a bottle of 'FWyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound which dark
ems the hair so naturally, so evenly,
that nobody can possibly tell it has
been applied. You just dampen
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time. By morning
the gray hair disappears; but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound is that, be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications. it also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives il
an appearance of abundance
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com-
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
to impart color and a youthful APP
pearance to the hair. 1t il not in
