STUPENDOUS
"GALL" OF THE
LAUNDRY LORDS
Especial Correspondence


OLYMPIA, Wash, Feb. THE
first indication of an attempt to again
reopen the women's eight-hour law in
this state occurred here this week,
when an emissary of the laundry own
ers appeared here to sound out the
possibilities of such an attempt From
what he was able to learn it is now
likely to be perfectly clear to his
mental vision that the possibility is
nil. Anyway he has not been seen
haunting the corridors of the capitol
building since.
The gentlemen was making the
plea for longer day on "behalf" of
the laundry girls, and he sought out
H. L. Hughes, legislative agent of the
Washington State Federation of La
Dor, to inquire what the possibilities
were. Hughes told him that he would
be time and money ahead to go back
to his laundry and "forget it."
at seems STRANGE" said Hughes,
"that you would be coming down here
to speak for the laundry girls. You
say that the girls want longer day,
yet no laundry girl has ever come
to us asking for longer work day:
but when you came here with your
petitions two years ago we had a
lot of letters from the girls saying
that they had signed the document,
as they feared they would lose their
jobs if they declined to sign.
Organized labor and it's friends
in this state labored for the enactment
of this law for the protection of the
health of our working girls, and cer-
tainly we are not going to see the
law repealed as to laundries, the one
industry in which long hours are per-
haps more injurious than any other
occupation. There is not the least pos
sibility in the world that this leg
islature would permit any lengthen-
ing of the work day for women, and
even if it should there is hardly an
other act that could be passed that
would invite a referendum petition
so quickly. And in the election that
would follow the repeal act would be
defeated so decisively that you fell
lows would never realize what had
struck you. No, my friend, the eight
hour day law for women in industry
is here to stay, and it will be ex-
tended in the future years rather than
curtailed. My advice to you is: DO
not monkey with the buzz saw"

COMMERCIAL CLUB NEWS

"The board of directors of the Ev-
erett Commercial club passed a reso-
luton favoring a law to restrict the
sale of phosphorus. This action was
taken as result of the attempts to
burn buildings in Everett with phos-
phorus, during recent months. A bill
has been drawn up by Representatives
Swale and Thomle, at the request of
the Commercial club, and the measure
as drafted, was approved by the
board today with few minor changes.
at provides for the limited sale of
phosphorus by the permit system
through the county Auditor, and for
manufacturing purposes only, unless
the Auditor is convinced that it is to
be used for legitimate purposes of
some kind. The restrictions are simp-
iliar to those on liquor"
Do you get that? If the CONNER
cial club would use more phosphorus
and less liquor, it would look better in
the dark.
''In place of Frank Pendleton, who
has left the city, f. C. Mony was
made "a member of the industrial
bureau. He was elected president of
the bureau. A committee was ap-
pointed to investigate the merits of
the cash meter recently perfected by
S. D. Clarke"
That's good for the club. 1t needs
money. Wonder if Mr.. Pendleton took
his tin star with him?
The club must have already gotten
the money. It's looking for a "cash-
meter" to measure it.

OUTLOOK GOOD FOR
MOTHERS PENSION
ACT OF 1913
Especial Correspondence

OLYMPIA, Wash, Feb. THE out
look is good that the mothers pen
sion act of 1913, which was amended
in 1915 to exclude from its provisions
the children of deserted mothers, will
be restored to its original status. Sen
ator Joseph H. Smith of Snohomish
County is the author of Senate Bill
10, which will bring the children, to
the age of Is years, under the pro-
visions of the law in the following
classes:
First. A mother whose husband is
dead or confined in a penal institu-
tion or insane hospital.
Second. A mother whose husband,
through total disability, is unable to
support his family.
"Third. A mother whose husband
has abandoned her, where such aban-
donment has continued for more than
one year Immediately preceding said
application. Provided, however, that
before any mother shall be entitled
to any relief under this subdivision
she must produce to the court at said
hearing sufficient proof to satisfy
said trial judge that said applicant
has endeavored in good faith to locate
and compel the deserting parent to
support said child or children in the
manner and as provided by law"
The bill has been passed out ia
vorably by the senate judiciary COM
mittee, to which it was referred, and
Senator Smith expresses the hope that
it will be before the body for final
action within very few days, and
that it will easily pass the senate. He
also says he is confident that it will
receive the approval of the house
members.

WORKING HARD ON
FIRST AID BILL
Especial Correspondence)

OLYMPIA, Wash, Feb. 7.-"First
aid" legislation is having it's innings
among the legislators this week.
Many conferences have been held dur
ing the week between those repre-
senting labor and the employers in
several of the large industries of the
state. While there is still wide di-
vergence of opinion as to just what
the law shall be, there are many hope
full signs that an agreement may yet
be reached that will be satisfactory.
At least it is true that nearly all per-
sons interested have arrived at the
| conclusion that the time is now here
when in justice to the injured work
men of the state some plan of first
aid should be provided. Among the
legislators too there is a general ex-
preston that a bill as nearly salts
factory to all persons concerned as
may be possible should be enacted
into law.
The first general public hearing be-
fore the joint senate and house COM
mittees on industrial insurance is
staged for tomorrow night, and be-
cause of the Importance of the sub
iect and the great number of persons
to be heard it is likely that the hear
ing will run over into other dates.
Two bills have been introduced. The
bill being fathered by the Washin-
ton State Federation of Labor, and
which embodies the principles of first
aid legislation adhered to by labor,
is known as Senate Bill %, and was
introduced in the Senate in the early
part of the session by Senator Harve
II. Phipps. The other bill, fathered
by Representative Mark Reed, has
been introduced in the house by
Messrs. Reed and Mccoy, as House
Bill III, and in the senate by Sen
ator Chase as Senate Bill 119. At
the hearing on these bills Thursday
night the federation will be repre-
sented by President E. p Marsh, Leg
lslative Agent H. l.. Hughes, Attorney

Attended by all of official Olympia,
including delegations from the SEN
ate and the supreme court, the funer-
al of Edward w. Olson, the murdered

The following statement was issued

too greatly shocked to be able to give
full expression to my feelings"
Geographic
Edward w. Olson was 43 years old.
He was born in Wisconsin, where his
father still resides at Hartland. Olson
was married in Chicago % years ago
to Julia Scully, and came to Walla

The Christmas Red Cross member
ship campaign will be launched at
noon December II and will last until
the night of December "a.
This campaign is to add 24O, 900
members in Oregon to the American

not for money but for members.
A complete state organization has
already been perfected under Henry
E. Reed, state campaign manager.
TIL Morrow county campaign mana
ger is Sam E. Van Vactor.
In brief, the effort of every county
in the state is to enlist 80 per cent of
its population under the Red Cross.
Irrespective of whether members
have Joined previously or not, they
are asked to join again in the Christ
man Drive, with the assurance that
there will be but one drive a year in
the future and that the week pre-
ceding Christmas. Thus make it a

MORROW COUNTY BOY AT
CAMP LEWIS TURNS TABLE
ON OFFICER WHEN TAKEN
FOR AN ARMY DESERTER

Thos. E. Sheridan, a Morrow coun-
ty boy who is now in training at
Camp Lewis with the new National
army, has the laugh on some Port
land policeman today, should he care
to take it.
Shortly after going north, young
Sheridan was given his day off. Not
being fully acquainted with military
rules, he got aboard the train for
Portland, expecting to be back to
camp by the time his absence leave
expired.
Imagine his CONSERVATION when
grabbed by Portland policeman just
as he was going to the train to return
to the camp. Sheridan was still wear
ing civilian clothes, as the supply of
uniforms was not yet sufficient to go
around. where is your registration
card" asked the cop. Here it is"
answered Tommy, pulling out red
card which they had given him at
Camp Lewis. The once-over for
Sheridan and the arm of the law an
nounced him a deserter, There was
$50 in it for the policeman making
this decision, providing he could
prove such was the case.
But for once, ignorance proved to
be bliss for Sheridan and he was re-
turned to the camp with reprimand
to study up on military rules regard
ing camp leave.
So this is how the rumor started
that Sheridan was deserter. He Is
doing his drill daily with the rest of
the boys and Morrow county people
may have the satisfaction Of knowing
that none of our boys have fallen
short of the task placed before them.
