TRADES COUNCIL.

Two delegates were added to the
roll at the meeting of December 10,
w. Wilson of the Shipyard Laborers,
and {. E. Rose of the Steam Engi-
neers.
The special committee appointed
TO confer with the manager of the
eight of the fourteen girls who re-
ported for work under the agree
ment had been given their old posi-
tions. The balance, according to in
structions handed down to the local
manager, were to be returned by the
end of the month. The company in
tended to retain all strikebreaking
employees, and thus would be COM
PEELED to employ practically double
force of operators. At the present
time, according to the local manager,
80 operators are employed, II more
than there was any need of. The
managers story to the committee
was al as W WAdt ITO luSll
were from some higher authority.
His instructions were to place all op-
orators back on the job before the
end of the month, and he intended to
do so. The unfortunate predicament
of the company in being compelled
to keep on it's payroll two forces Of
telephone employees met with no SYM
pathetic response from the commit
tee. The committees catechism was
as to whether the company intended
to continue its practice of double
dealing or to put the strikers back
to work in good faith, the manager
replying to all these queries with the
statement that his instructions were
to put the operators back to work
without unnecessary delay.
President Young reported that ten
tative arrangements had been made
for a New Years Eve dance in the
Tumwater clubhouse, for the benefit
of the telephone operators. The
proposal received formal approval
by the Council and committee made
up of representatives of unions rep.
