The great relief afforded by Cham

cases has fully proven the great value
of this preparation for weak stom-

cases this relief has become perma-

OUR LABOR DAY
CELEBRATION

Next Monday the good people o.
Everett will celebrate Labor Day
the day set aside to pay homage tc
that mighty factor in the produc
ton of material things which are
necessary or useful to man in q
state of civilization.
On that day the wheels of indus
try will stop and the men and wo-
men who operate them will rest and
look back upon the years record of
! labor.
That record will show wonderful
achievements in peace and war. The
accomplishments of labor during the
past year have not been equaled
in the past, but there is every in
dication they will be greatly sur
passed in the future.
Labor has shown itself staunch
and true to the welfare of its coun-
try and there is very indication that
it's efforts will bring about early
peace to the world and great bet
terment to mankind.
Then let us assemble on Labor
Day in a spirit of goodfellowship and
give voice to our loyalty to the ma
ton, our love of peace and liberty
and declare to the world that we
will have peace on our own terms,
Though We have to fight for it.
Martin Flyzik, president of the
United Mine Workers of this dis
trict and member of the State First
Aid Board under the Industrial In
surance law, will deliver the Labor
Day address. All should hear Mr..
Flyzik, as he has grasp of the
situation which enables
him to both instruct and entertain.
The Labor Day Committee which
made the arrangements for this years
elebIation made preparation for the
of old and young, as
will be seen by the program, printed
on the third page of this issue.
There will be no parade, no crowd
ing, no dust and fireworks-just !
get-together in our own home town.
Everybody is invited to visit Ev-
srett next Monday to meet and min
gle with friends and to go hither and
,hither at his own sweet will.

WHOLE UNION
VOLUNTEERS
Can You Beat 1t For Unanimous
Determination to Win the
War?

DENVER, Col, Aug. 25. On,
whole local union of the Internationa
Union of Mill, Mine and Smeltel
Workers has gone to France. Every
member of this union was a volun
teer in the Twenty-seventh Mining
Engineers Corps in the United
States army.
The miners, coming from various
local unions, were stationed at Camp
Meade, Colorado. They applied to
headquarters for a separate charter
and it was issued to them by Presi-
dent Charles H. Meyer and Secre-
tary Ernest Mills. President Meyer
believes this is the only complete
local union in the army.
There are 13O members in this SOL
dier-miner union, each with card
paid up for the duration Of the war.
Their charter has gone with them to
France. While at Camp Meade
the union held regular meetings, but
with the beginning of service over
seas the members will be simply SOL
diers with union membership-but
with the spirit of trade unionism
running strong to inspire them in
their work.
President Meyer believes that moth
ing better typifies the spirit of la
Dor in the war than this union of
soldiers, which he believes is the only
one in the army.
So far as is known here there is
no precedent for the action of this
local union in this country. During
the Constitutionalist revolution in
Mexico, however, unions enlisted in
the revolution as unions and fought
under their union banners, the Casa
del Obrero Mundial blouse of the
Workers of the World, a federation
Of unions) having had signed con-
tract with the revolutionary pro-
government recognizing mu-
,uality of aims.
The enlistment of this local union
If miners is looked upon here as
lew and striking demonstration of |
abor's complete absorption in the
laton's task and it's complete one
less with the whole national spirit
md determination.

A communication from the Mold
ers giving the present status of the
Mooney case and transmitting the
appeal to labor of Mrs. Rena
Mooney in behalf of her husband was
received and referred to affiliated
unions. A pamphlet embracing the
entire subject will be placed on sale
at 10c per copy to further aid the
Mooney defense fund. The pham-
phlets will be sent from San Fran
cisco as soon as ordered. Delegates
Grimmett, Dieterle and Hillstad were
appointed a committee to visit the
locals and urge the purchase of the
pamphlets.
Ex-Delegate Wilbert Pilon, now at
Camp Lewis in training to whip
the Kaiser, wrote the Council the
following spicy letter:
August 26. 1918.
To the Officers and Members of the
Everett Trades Council:
Greetings: Well boys this place is
getting better every day. Can't help
but like it, and probably you will
all get a chance to come down and
see it yourself some of these days.
When some of you fellows come
I'd like to be squad leader and
give you your squads right and left.
That's all you get for two weeks
and it sure gets your goat, and the
first two weeks we all talked in our
sleep. repeating orders such as we
get during the day. It's nothing
to wake up and hear some guy yell
to the top of his voice A-ten-shun
and, as it were, some of the fun
NEST things you ever heard. After
lne gets more used to the game he
Doesn't take it so hard. Well there |

ers would gladly vote for if the!
could do so without throwing theil
votes away.
4. 1t gives every voter the salts
faction of marking his ballot ac
cording to his real will, regardless:
of any candidates expected strength
or weakness, without wasting his
vote.
S. 1t makes practically every bal
lot, thus freely marked for candi-
dates freely nominated, effective in
the election to the legislature of a
person who really represents the
voter who casts it. Therefore, it
greatly increases interest in voting.
6. 1t opens within each organ
lied party or group free competition
for the seats, depriving the ina
chine" of all power except the legiti-
mate power which comes from lead
ership and organization.
7. 1t gives to each sufficient num-
ber of LIKE-MINDED VOTERS,
ORGANIZED OR NOT, its fair
share of the seats.
8. 1t makes MINORITY RULE
IMPOSSIBLE. Under the present
system a small minority of the
voters of the state, well organ
lied in each district, can often con-
troll the nomination to the great
party in most of the districts and
thus perhaps capture more than
half of the seats in the legislative
body itself. Under the Hare sys-
TEN a majority of the seats can be
filled only in accordance with the
real will of majority of the voters.
s. 1t insures also the fair repre-
sentation of all large minorities;
and minorities have right to be
heard.
10 1t .insures that the interests
and aspirations of all sorts of peo-
ple in the state will be adequately
and truly voiced and safeguarded.
1t therefore tends to secure the
loyalty and cooperation of all ele-
ments. This is not mere theory; it |
is fact. When the first election un-
der the Hare system was held in !
Kalamazoo (Michigan), April, 1918,
one of the seven men elected to the
city commission was a Socialist so
radical that his election was con-
sidered by the commercial element
a calamity. But within a month the
advantage of having this man on
the commission to interpret it's
work to his supporters, to interpret
mis- supporters to it, and to share
is responsibilities, was fully ap-
oreciated by many of those who had
been shocked by his election.
II. A legislative body elected by
he Hare system, being truly and

changes, is capable OF

Department of the Interior, Bureau

"a, 1918.
Secretary Trades Council, Everett,
| Wash.
Dear Sir-About a year ago |
wrote to you and to the presidents
and secretaries of other state and
local Central Labor Unions through
out the United States, asking the
cooperation of these Unions in
maintaining the public schools of the
country at their full efficiency, both
as to work and attendance, during
the war. | wish to assure you of
my hearty appreciation of the very
valuable assistance which they gave.
AS result of the cooperative eff
forts of your organizations and
many others throughout the country
our schools were maintained far bet
ter during the last year than it
was expected they might be; but as
the war goes on, as more men and
women are taken from the ordinary
industries of life, and as the costs
increase. there is increasing dan
ger that the education of the child
rem may suffer. 1t will, unless we
continue our efforts in their behalf.
| am therefore writing to ask your
assistance in your State and COM
munity in this most important mat
ter
There are before US as people
now just two matters of supreme i'm
portance. To win the war for
democracy, freedom, and l;t us
hope, for permanent peace; and to
prepare ourselves and our children
FOR life in the new era which the
war is bringing in. Nothing that
will contribute to either of these
must be neglected, whatever other
,acrifices it may be necessary to
make. No class of our people will,
am sure, appreciate more the i'm
,ortance of the education of their
hildren than those who by their
abor are making possible the con-
Iuct of the war, and | am therefore
ppealing to you with feeling of
onfidence that you will be inter
sted in this matter no less than |.
Yours sincerely,
P. P. CLAYTON,
Commissioner of Education.
