operating with other departments, bu-
reaus and commissions of the gov
eminent in the matter of supplying
labor where the government wants it,
and has sent out the following warn
ing:
published statements of the
number of men who will be wanted
have been misinterpreted as mean
ing that great numbers are wanted
now, whereas they are wanted only
in limitd quantities and of parti-
cular types at any one time. Men
should stick to their jobs until the
department tells them that there is
a shipbuilding position waiting and
what the wages and housing condi-
tons are"
And also gives the following point
er to all seeking government en-
ployment:
by registering in the public serv-
ice reserve, men can be assured that
they will be told when they will be
wanted. The reserve now is listing
men willing to serve on railroads, in
munitions plants and in the divis-
ions Of the army which require
skilled mechanics"

SOCIETY SHOWS
GOOD BUSINESS

The Butcher Workmen of Everett
are talking of starting a Co-opera-
tive Meat Market in conjunction with
the Everett Cooperative Society. The
action of the Frye and Carstens pack
ing concerns have got the goat of
the Butcher Workmen of Everett,
just as it has in Seattle so the
boys here intend to help out the Co.
operative Foods Products, Associa-
ton of Seattle by opening store
here to handle that Associations
products.
The Everett Cooperative Society
has already proven great success
and it is now prearing to branch
out into other lines and open branch
stores.
During the first five and a half
months of business it has saved to
its purchasers $497.53 and the sales
are increasing every day. The store
was opened July 16 with only %
members and 100000 capital. 1t
carried on a strictly cash over the
counter business and by the end of
the first quarter, September 81, it
had taken in "A new members and
sold $4,691.38 worth of groceries out
of which it made profit of $220.97,
which was divided among the pur-
chasers on a per cent basis accord
ing to the amount purchased.
The second quarter ending Deem
Der 81 showed another improvement
and the membership had increased to
81. The total sales for this quar-
ter amounted to $6,486.70 out of
which it made profit of $276.56
which was divided among the pur-
chasers on 5 per cent basis ac-
cording to the amount purchased.
This method of dividing up the prof
its is known as the Rochdale plan
and is in universal use in Europe
and in America. The biggest pur-
chase made during the three months
was made by member No. 81 who
purchased $156.S9 worth of groceries
and received 1884 in dividends. And
it only cost SOC to join.
Bigger dividends will be paid when
our trade has increased and we have
started to buy from our own CO.
operative wholesale. The national
cooperative wholesale is already
buying for fifteen million consumers
and has eliminated the travelling
statesmen, jobbers, commission mer-
chant and various other parasites
who help to increase the cost of COM
modities.
The store is owned by the people.
The majority of the Board of Di-
rectors carry union cards and it's
bylaws state that it shall purchase
union-made goods in preference to
others.

FREEDOM FOR
ALL FOREVER

1t is gratifying that a few of our
citizens who are called multimillion-
aires have taken time to think of
other things than profits
The time necessary to divert their
thoughts from money-making was
given them by war conditions.
Men who have all their lives
thought along lines of big business
find it hard to think of anything else,
so the human side of production and
distribution seldom, if ever, occurred
to them.
The great majority that makes all
things worth having and gets much
less than its share for the making
cannot be said to be free, for to
be free men and women must enjoy
the fruits of their toll. They can
not do this for they not only are de-
MED the time wherein to enjoy life
but also the means of enjoyment.
One of the multimillionaires who
has seen the handwriting on the
wall is Charles M. Schwab, Presi-
dent of the Bethlehem Steel Corpora
ton, who declared in an address in
New York City on the oath of last
month that the time is near at hand
when the men of the working class
the men without property-will con-
troll the destinies of the world.
"The Bolsheviki sentiment must be
taken into consideration, and in the
very near future we must look to the
worker for solution of the great
economic question, now being con-
sidered.
81 am not one to carelessly turn
over my belongings for the uplift of
the nation, but | am one who has
come to believe the worker will rule
and the sooner we recognize it the
better for our country and the world
at large"
As showing what caused that train
of thought in the mind of Mr., Schwab
the following utterance in the same
speech is given:
'In these times of war we of
America should not criticise the acts
of our President and nation. We are
behind him and behind the nation
When l say we l say the steel men
of the United States. Within the
next eighteen months we will have
more tonnage on the ocean than all
other nations of the world. But
don't let US run away with the idea
we have a light task.
eve must realize the duty of every
citizen is to give his last dollar and
his last drop of blood in defense of
his country.
81 am not discouraged and / am
not pessimistic but we must con-
tribute our money as we never con-
tributed before. We must forget
our personal affairs and stand by our
nation"
The recent meeting at Nottingham,
England of the British Labor Party
showed the crystalized sentiment of
the workingmen of the British Isles,
as did the Buffalo convention of the
American Federation of Labor and
the last meeting of the French So
cialists. In the same trend are the
Russian Bolsheviki.
1t seems that Premier Lloyd George
and President Wilson have the same
general lines of thought.
AS a result labor will have a seat
and voice in any peace conference
which may be held, and there are
those among the wise ones of the
world who think that conference will
be held early in the present year,
and it is hoped and believed that the
forces of democracy will have won
a lasting peace and will gain as
result of victory FREEDOM for all
forever"

THE JUNIOR RED CROSS.

One of the clearest indications that
the United States is mobilizing all
its resources and all its citizens for
war duty is the fact that the scope
OF the American Red Cross has been
extended until it takes in the millions
of citizens in the making, the school
children of the land.
And the idea of putting the young
sters into service is something more
than theory, for throughout the leng-
tn and breadth of our country this
vast horde of little workers are get
ting into the harness just as enthu-
siastically and as systematic as their
elders in the Red Cross. That there
was and is big work to be done by
the children in the struggle for world
democracy must have been realized
when the Red Cross auxiliaries were
extended to the schools.
In a proclamation issued to the
school children of the United States,
President Wilson said:
THE President of the United Sta
tes is also President of the American
Red Cross. 1t is from these offices
Joined in one that write you word
of greeting at this time when so many
of you are beginning the school year.
THE American Red Cross has just
prepared a Junior Membership with
school activities in which every pupil
in the United States can find chance
to serve our country. The school is
the natural center of your life. Thru
it you can best work in the great
cause of freedom to which We have
all pledged ourselves.
"Our Junior Red Cross will bring
to you opportunities of service to
your community and to other COM
munities all over the world and guide
your service with high religious ide-
ais. 1t will teach you how to save
in order that suffering children else
where may have a chance to live.
1t will teach you how to prepare some
of the supplies which wounded SOL
diers and homeless families lack. 1t
will send to you through the Red |
Cross Bulletins the thrilling stories |
of relief and rescue. And, best of all
more perfectly than through any OF
your school lessons, you will learn by |
doing kind things under your teach |
er's direction to be the future good
citizens of this great country which
we all love.
"And commend to all school tea
chers in the country the simple plan
which the American Red Cross has
worked out to provide for your CO.
operation, knowing as l do that
school children will give their best
service under the direct guidance and
instruction of their teachers. Is not
this perhaps the chance for which
YOU have been looking to give your
time and efforts in some measure to
meet our national needs"

Americans should pay no attention
to rumors of uprisings and revolts
leading to a revolution in Germany.
If such does come, so much the bet
ter fofus, but we might just as we'll
get the idea in our head once and for
all time that we have got to whip a
Germany united, We are fighting a
race of people who for the past four
generations at least have been fed
entirely on this war stuff highly sea
soned with the spice of Germanic
kultur and other ingredients that
have given them the idea they can
lick the world. The kaiser is not
responsible for this business entirely
In fact it is stated on good authority
that there are far stronger minds in
Germany than that of Bill Hohenzol-
lern. So again We repeat, let us pre-
pare with our united energies for the
task that lays ahead-the defeatins
of Germany and the crushing to an
everlasting stand-still this militaris-
tic spirit-which at the present time
threatens the destruction Of every ia
brio of civilization.
