Union men and women Of Seattle
turned out by the thousands when
the Molders' Union Of that city held
a parade and mass meeting last Sun
day on behalf of Thomas Mooney
and his co-defendants of San Fran
cisco.
A parade covering ten blocks and
headed by Wagner's band, marched
through the streets of Seattle to
Dreamland Pavilion, which was pack
ed to Overlooking with determined
men and women, demanding the re
lease of Tom Mooney. Ringing reso-
lutions, condemning the Frame-up at
San Francisco and calling upon the
workers of America to get behind
the demand for the freedom of all
the victims of the San Francisco
Chamber of Commerce plot against
labor, were adopted.
The various elements of the Labor
movement were represented among
the speakers who addressed the gath
ering. J. w. Kelly, representing the
Metal Trades Council, made a ring
ing appeal to the audience on behalf
of the Mooney case defendants, urg-
ing industrial action should the
courts of California fail to give re-
lief soon. Round after round of
applause greeted Kellys demand that
the San Francisco cases be brought
to a close without further delay.
w. D. Patterson, of San Francisco,
travelling representative of the
Mooney case defense, touched upon
the report of the Federal Commission
appointed by President Wilson, which
stated that Mooney and his asso-
ciates had been convicted with ques-
tionable evidence. He said that in
thousands of miles of travel through
out the nation he had found union
lists everywhere interested in the
outcome of the Mooney case, as it
was recognized on all sides that this
was no ordinary affair, and the out
come would have tremendous effect
upon the entire labor movement.
Gales of laughter followed the re-
cital of some of the Evidence"

VIM. N. COSTELLO,
THE AGED PIONEER,
DIED SUNDAY

William N. Costello, for 27 years
a resident of Everett, died from
pneumonia at Providence hospital on
Sunday morning. He was IA years
old. He had been i'll only few days
and on Saturday, when symptoms OF
pneumonia developed he was taken
from his home, 2102 Rucker avenue,
to the hospital, where he might re-
ceive the most skillful attention.
But the effort to save him was vain.
He was buried from the Bayside
Catholic church Tuesday morning at
9 o'clock; the funeral arrangements
were made by j. F. Jerread.
Mr.. Costello was born in Ireland
and came to Canada when he was 21
years old. He settled in Montreal
and engaged in the wholesale busi-
ness there. Later he came west to
Calgary, before a railroad was built
to that town. From Calgary he
came to this county.
During his life in Everett he was
engaged greater part of the time
in the wholesale and retail clothing
business with Andrew A. Grant as
pa, tner. The death of Mr.. Grant
two years ago, ended the partnership
He built the brick block on Colby
just west of Brewster's corner.
Mr.. Costello is survived by wild
ow and eight children: William OF
Gle Elum; Mrs. Harry Lunney OF
Calgary; John c., Thomas; Moreno
of Aberdeen; Charles, now at Fort
Casey; Gertrude of Calgary, ant
Miss Laura May Costello of Everett
Mr.. Costello was a charter mem.
ber of the Knights of Columbus. He
had wide acquaintance in Everett
as a result of his long residence
here, made many friendships and the
news of his death called forth many
expressions of regret.

The reactionary forces of capital
ism and greed which always take ad-
vantage of the circumstances of war
have fastened themselves on the Fed
eral employees of Washington, and it
looks now as if they would be sue
cessful unless the forces of labor
rally to our support promptly and
insistently. The men and women OF
the Government service in Washing
ton work regularly minimum of
seven and one-half hours day with a
halfhour off for lunch. They can be
legally required by their superior Of
ficers to work any length of time in
addition to this without any pay for
overtime. Many of them are at
present and have been for months
working 8, 8, 10 and more hours a
day including Sundays and holidays,
and willingly to do so on account of
war rnecessities-voluntarily helping
to win the war.
Congressman William P. Borland,
of Kansas City, Mo-, has for two
years been trying every possible ex-
cuse to "get" the Government en-
ployes here with what he calls an 8
hour day, but which is not a union
labor eight-hour day. He now has
seized upon the prevalent cry of "pa-
triotism" in order to vent his long
standing spleen against the en-
ployees here who have no vote. His
eight-hour day is minimum Of eight
hours with no pay for overtime, and
not maximum of eight hours with
pay for overtime at one and one-half
the regular rate-the latter so long
sought by labor, but never the
former. He succeeded in having an
amendment to the Agriculture APP
preparation Bill adopted in the House
of Representatives on the first of
February, providing that mot less
than eight hours work each day."
and on the eighth of February the
Senate Committee on Agriculture re-
ported this amendment to the Senate
favorably. A hearing on the amend
ment was promised to the employees
concerned but the Committee even
denied hearing. Mr.. Borland says
the amendment is a war emergency
measure, but the statement is untrue
as the language provides for a per-

SALMON MEN
REFUSE TO SET
LOW PRICES

No price has been fixed by sal
mon Gamers and packers. altho they
were placed under the federal license
system several months ago, with a
request that they arrive at the low
est price possible. They state that
It is impossible to arrive at price
fair to consumers and producers until
the extent of the seasons catch is
known. The price will not be affect
ed, they state, by the fact that SAL
mon fishermen went under the license
system Friday.-Seattle Star.
Whoever heard of anything so
ridiculous? Although they went un-
der the license system last Friday
the fishermen say that will not af-
feet prices. They will find they are
wrong They say it is Impossible
to arrive at a price fair to producers
and consumers until the extent of
the seasons catch is known" If the
consumers will put a little stiffen-
ing into their backbones the fish
monger extortioners will find they
are wrong about that, too.
What do you think of that? Wait
until the salmon run is over before
consumers of fish can get fish at a
fair price, Wait till the fish are
gone!
Profiteers and their agents in
Washington legislatures have fixed
the fish product of this state so you
can't buy that article of food at a
fair price. These dishonest legisla-
tors have built up a pretty fat bust
ness for a few fish manipulators
and spectators.
As soon as meatless days wer"
set aside by the food administration
these fish dealers took advantage
of the consumers and raised the
price of fish. They are traitors
and robbers, and the national food
administration should be asked to
choke them off
California controls fish prices and
sees to it that consumers get sll
kinds of sea food at fair prices The
Washington public is assured that
the prices for fish are very much
lower in California than in this
state.
