Taken at their own figures, how
much of a saving of grain for our al

any other way? Note the mailing

all our readers will remember that the

Is it because our government believes
the claim of Samuel Gompers and 9TH

against the laws of his country if he
cannot have his beer? Does the gov

Or, does it mean that this German

full enough to defy all the rest of rs and

these German interests still more power

where the war masters have stopped
the brewing of beer as a war measure?
These are questions for Americans
to ask themselves, until they are an
swered right.

Among other matters discussed
was the hospital contract, by which
the employees of the shipyard are
bound by a petition signed by num-
Der of the men soon after the yard
was built, and which has of late
caused more or less dissatisfaction
among the present employees of the
yard. 1t was the sense of the meet
ing that while the members were dis
satisfied with the present system of
operation they felt that the treat
ment given the men after being re-

could be expected, and after investi-

Everett Also Endorses Action,


A letter was received from the
Olympia Trades Council urging agi-
tation to secure the lowering of any
control of the prices of -four substi-
tutes. The motion adopted by the
Olympia body was endorsed. Fol
lowing is the letter:
Olympia, Wn., June 10, 1918.
Everett Trades Council:
Members of Olympia Trades Coun-
Gil believe that an agitation for con-
troll of prices of -four substitutes
should be kept up, in order that the
power of a concentrated public opin-
ion be focused upon food administra-
ton agents and upon those who are
taking advantage of the necessities
of the people to line their pockets
through large profits. Food admin
istration agents seem painfully lack
ing in anxiety that the consumer be
given a square deal in the enforce
ment of compulsory food laws, and
when you consider that these admin
istrators are of those in position to
take advantage of those laws to their
own profit, their apathy is not so very
strange. 1t is as true now as always
that the people must protect them
selves by rising up to the circum-
stances, a la Artemus Ward, and cav
ing it's head in. At the meeting of
June 10, Olympia Trades Council.
adopted a motion and instructed the
secretary to communicate 1t to trade
councils of the state. The motion Is
as follows:
Moved, That we, the members of
Olympia Trades Council, demand
that the prices of substitutes for
-four be regulated by the food ad-
ministration, or, that he rule for
compulsory use of such substitutes
be revoked"
The Council also named a commit
tee to investigate the profits OF re-
tail dealers In -four substitutes

olds. Figures compiled by oper-
ators show that the per-hour produc-
ton per man has increased 10 per
cent on the eight-hour basis in COM
parison with the per-hour production
per individual under the old ten-hour
working day.
"The general output of the indus
try is about 9.41 per cent less than
the output under the ten-hour day
The mills are operating with about
IS per cent of the help that is needed
in the industry, but we are better
fixed in a labor way than we were
year ago, and conditions in this re.
spect are improving"

The s. s. A. A. has assumed it's
place as the principal source of
amusement for the city and what
with the high class ball the team is
putting up, the excellent dances, and
the interesting smokers that are be-
ing pulled every week, surely Olym-
plans can feel that this is live or
ganization. The Association band
will play on the street Sunday before
the baseball game, and will escort
the teams to the grounds.
The 'Duthie" shipyard team of
Seattle will play here next Sunday.
This is one of the strongest teams in

TRADES COUNCIL MINUTES.

The matter which attracted most
attention at the Trades Council meet
ing of June 20 was the question IN
regard to exorbitant prices of flour
substitutes. The secretary reported
that central councils throughout the
state were acting upon the sugges-
ton of the Olympia Council and were
adopting resolutions of protest. Sc
attic, Everett and Grays Harbor have
been heard from and each council ac-
copied the resolution of the local
council without a dissenting vote.
Delegate Mohler of the committee to
investigate -four substitute profits OF
local retailers, reported that the local
business men passed the buck to the
wholesaler and manufacturer. The
local claim is that there is no profit
in excess of IS per cent on substi-
tutes for -four.
Credentials of J. P. Henning. OF
Transfers and Chauffeurs were pre-
scented and accepted.
Communications were read as fol-
lows:
From the Hoquiam Trades and La
Dor Council giving the information
that he Hoquiam Council had ap-
proved unanimously the resolution OF
the Olympia Council protesting
against the high prices of -four sub
stitutes, and asking for data on food
administrators.
From the Webb-Smiley Neckwear
Company of st. Louis. requesting
that union men demand union
labeled neckwear, suspenders, BELTS
garters and armbands. 1t was sug-
gested that the Secretary furnish the
address of this firm to The Empo-
rum of this city.
From the Secretary of the State
Federation of Labor regarding ar
rangements for delegates to the
Aberdeen convention.
From President Short of the State
Federation of Labor, urging an ac-
tive campaign for signatures to initi-
alive petitions.
Proceedings of the Tacoma Cen
trail Council.
All communications were ordered
on file.
Delegate Mohler reported for the
committee on price of flour substi-
tutes to the effect that retailers de-
MED that they were exacting exorbi-
tant profits, local profits on such sub
stitutes being Is per cent.
James E. Winter, from the Ship
Carpenters, asked permission to ad-
dress the Council. and on motion this
permission was given. Brother Win
ter presented the proposition or a
quilt rattle, in the interest OF the
widow of Brother Walters, who was
killed in an accident at the local
shipyards recently. A number OF
tickets were disposed of to the Coun-
Gil delegates.
The Secretary was instructed to Sc
cure fire insurance policy covering
the furniture of the Trades Council,

Aliens to Become Citizens.

The alien problem has recently
caused quite stir in union circles,
and in all departments Of the yard.
After an investigation by some OF
the officials 1t was found that there
were many men of foreign allegi-
ance in the yard, among them being
Swedes, Firms, Austrians, Danes, etc.
and these men were requested to take
steps to secure their first papers at
once. Some who were afraid that
they would be drafted into the army
IL they did so, quit their jobs and In
tend to 20 to work in other yards,
but steps have been taken to block
this game.

THE BROTHERHOOD OF BLACK.
SMITHS.

The Brotherhood of Blacksmiths
held a special melting in Labor hall
Sunday afternoon. The purpose of
the meetings was to knit up the raw
eled edges in the way of limitations,
and to discuss questions of policy so
as to place this union directly in line
with the activities of the other or
CARNATIONS upon questions that are
constantly bobbing up and which af-
feet especially all men employed In

WAGE. CHANGE IN PROSPECT
FOR INLAND EMPIRE MILLS
AND CAMPS.

Questions of wage scale and labor
conditions in the logging camps and
sawmills of the Inland Empire were
placed in the hands of Col. Brice P.
Disque by $50 delegates Of the Loyal
Legion of Loggers and Lumbermen
who met the head of the spruce pro-
duction division of the Army at Spo-
kane last Saturday. The delegates
represented $4,000 members of the
legion in Eastern Washington and
Oregon, Northern Idaho and Western
Montana.
Six committees. named at the
morning session, submitted reports
in an open meeting to Colonel
Disoue. He had conference with
the employing operators here last
Thursday and as result of the two
conferences new schedule of wages
and new rules governing working
conditions in logging camps ana
mills will be promulgated.
Colonel DisQue rejected the report
of the committee on wages in the
mills, urging the establishment OF
minimum Of so cents an hour for
common labor, with the usual
spread" above that sum for expert
labor. He declared he will not APP
prove a minimum wage, but Will Tx
a maximum.
, The committee on conditions OF
labor objected to the charge OF VI a
week by the operators for furnishing
Numbered bedding and beds in lieu
of the old blanket roll carried by the
worker. An implied promise that the
charge would be greatly reduced OF
done away with was made by Col
Disoue, who said the matter has al
ready been taken up with the oper'
