STEAM ENGINEERS.

The local union of Steam Engi-
neers will give their first annual ball
in the Tumwater clubhouse, the even
ing of February %. This was for
mally decided upon at the regular
meeting Wednesday evening of this
week, and discussion of plans to
make their first dance a success con-
sumed much of the time of this ses-
sion.
A letter was received from Brother
Body of Seattle, stating that the
wage scale in the shipyards had been
concurred in by the shipping board
but this board had demurred to max
ing it retroactive.
Brother f. r. Mohler resigned as
president and Brother Cove was ad-
vanced from the position of vice pres
ident to that of president. c. E. Rose
was elected to the position of vice
president.
The matter of having question
box was approved.

AMPLE SUPPLY OF WORKERS.

There is an ample supply of
labor both for the army and for in
dustry. The problem is one of prop
err adjustment" Secretary Wilson
said last week, in discussing plans of
the department of labor for mobil-
izing workers. He estimated that in
the first year of the war the army
would take only about 3 per cent of
the country's workers, less than the
number unemployed under normal
conditions.
"Most of the anxiety in this coun-
try regarding the labor question has
been a reflex of Great Britain's expe-
riences in the war;" Mr.. Wilson said.
"Of 2O,000,000 persons engaged in
gainful occupations in England S.
100000 were taken for the army,
leaving the labor supply % per cent
short. This necessitated withdrawal
from the army of skilled workmen
in order to maintain the Industrial
life at home.
Americas situation is very diff
ferent. OF course. the draft will in
terfere with industry to some extent,
but we have 35,0OO,OOO workers, of
whom approximately 100000 will
be taken in the first year of war, less
than the normal number of unem-
ployed. Our problem, then, is one
of readjustment to supply the de-
mand for workers in those trades
which are expanding rapidly, such as
shipbuilding and munitions facto-
ries.
"At present there is shortage of
labor in some trades and surplus in
others. For instane, there is un-
employment in the building trades.
1t is our task to make the supply
equal to the demand, which will in
volve transportation of workmen
voluntarily from one section to an
other, housing them in their new
homes and training unskilled men
when the skilled supply in any par
ticular line of work is short"

LOCAL MAN ONE OF FOUNDERS
OF UNION PRINTERS HOME.

The International Typographical
Union has sent out to officials OF
local unions a calendar for 1918.
The illustration thereon is of the
Union Printers Home. at Colorado
Springs, Colo.
And that reminds us that No. 142,
Olympia Typographical union, has in
its membership a printer who was a
delegate from Topeka. Kan, to the
convention in Pittsburgh, which re-
ceived the donation of $4,000 from
George W. Childs. and started pro-
ceedings which eliminated in the es-
tablishment of the home for sick or
members. r. p. Hol-
craft was member of the Pitts
burgh convention referred to.
In the years since that time the
membership of the union has con-
tributed hundreds of thousands
of dollars to the enlargement Of
the institution and in it's main
tenance, until today the Union Print
ers' Home stands as the greatest
monument to fraternity in the world.
At the beginning the funds were in
creased through voluntary contribu-
tons of the price of a thousand ems,
or of an hours pay. as the case

THE LOCAL GRlST

tary notify each local union of the
attendane of it's delegates to the
Council in the last preceding month, "
was called up and, on motion to
adopt, the question carried after a
short discussion of its merits.
Delegate Burrell reported the COM
pulsory resignation of Donald Ben
nett of the Pacific Telephone COM
pany. The company had issued an
order transferring Bennett to Ho-
quiam, to which he demurred, in
view of the fact that he had been a
resident of Olympia for many years
and all his interests were in this city.
Mrs. T. p. Holcraft gave notice
that the Label League would provide
for a social session to occur on the
last Thursday of the month. There
are five Council sessions in this
month, the last one falling on the
last day of the month, January 81.

might be, and in this connection Oc-
Cured many instances OF the feeling
of pride of craft. In many of our
big cities editors and managers of
great newspapers, graduates of the
composing room, laid aside their en-
larged duties for the moment, came
into the composing rooms and each
"set" his thousand ems as a contrf-
button to the Union Printers Home.
The union once set apart day for
contributions to the printers homo
fund, and each compositor was to
contribute the fruits of a thousand
ems of composition. Amos Jay Cum
mings, of the New York Sun, who
was proud of being a union printer,
left his managing editors desk and
went to the composing room.
"Ah, Mr.. Cummings" said Abe
Masters, the foreman, "I'll give You
some of your own copy to set"
''To hell with my own copy!" said
Cummings, who knew his handwrit-
ing faults. "Give me some reprint"
The spirit of fraternity and good
will emphasized in the gift of George
w. Childs has been broadened by the
Typographical Union. This union
now has death benefit, an old-age
pension system, and the bounty Of
the home. is free to any deserving
member. No member of the Typo
graphical union approaches the end
of his days in fear of want.

CARPENTERS.

Thirty members of the. Brother
hood of Carpenters convened IN
Braeger's hall Monday evening and
transacted lot of routine business.
This is the old union of carpenters,
and while it has been rather thrown
into the shade for while by the sud-
den injection into the local situation
of tho Shipwrights' union. a subordi-
nate union to the same international
brotherhood, the original union, too
has been growing and is now on
most substantial basis.
The secretary of the Trades Coun-
Gil appeared before the session and
presented the matter of the labor
page in the Standard. The union
adopted a resolution to subscribe for
the paper for its entire membership.

SHIPYARD LABORERS.

Three incidents of the regular
meeting of Shipyard Laborers Mon
day night emphasized the remarkable
progress of that union and the great
interest taken in it's work-twenty-
eight candidates were initiated, the
union decided to give smoker next
Monday night, and Financial Secre-
tary Young made an exhaustive re-
port on the relations between the
union and the shipyards of the
Northwest, which showed that the
relations were of most satisfactory
nature.
Henry Reder was reported to be
improving steadily, with the certain
ty that he would shortly be COM
pletely recovered of his injury a
week ago.
The motion for smoker was Of
fered by one of the Goodman broth
ers, and he supplemented his formal
resolution with challenge to any
15O-pound wrestler to compete with
him on tho mat as a feature of the
smoker The def was Immediately
lifted by another member, and this
promises to be a program number OF
great interest. The partisans of con-
testants are already lining up be-
hind their favorite and doing their
best to throw a scare into the other

PAINTERS, DECORATORS AND
PAPERHANGERS.

Painters elected and installed the
following officers, at the last meeting
of that union: President, A. j.
Douglas; vice president, Ralph Kid
der; financial secretary, p. M. Ken
drick; treasurer, T. H. Newell; war
den, Guy H. Quick; conductor, George
Kane; trustees, A. barley, James
Naismith and George Kane; bust
ness agent, J. S. Magill.
Plans for establishing the craft on
a more aggressive basis were consid-
cred, and in this connection Secre-
tary p. NJ. Kendrick offered some
conclusions:
"In the last few years." said Ken
drick, painters have begun to get
the pay for their labor that rightly
belongs to Them they are getting
abreast of other trades in the build
ing world, and they are entitled to all
and more than they get. The paint
ing trade is hard manual labor. is
dangerous, and requires more knowl-
edge than the average trade in the
building industry. Take the brick
layer or plasterer, for Instance: these
trades require hard manual work,
but they do not require nearly as
much science as practical painting,
yet there Is quite difference in the
wages paid. Not that l would imply
that the brick layer or plasterer does
not earn the amount they receive
above the painter-really, they are
earning more money than they are
receiving even at the present rate.
What l want the painter to under
stand and know is that the only
method by which we can ever hope
to get wages equal to those the other
trades receive is through organiza-
ton. And in order to promote and
strengthen the organization they will
have to be more loyal and take a
great deal more interest than they
have evidenced in years past. They
will have to get out of the rut and pay
more attention to the present times.
We must remember it takes money
to get money. and If we expect to get
good wages we must pungle up the
money for that purpose. We cannot
expect something for nothing.
Zone reason painters are behind
other trades, and very pertinent
reason at that, is the non-attendance
at the meetings of the union. A local
Of 800 members will have about 80
or 40 present when called to order.
If you ask the absentees why they did
not attend the meeting, many will
tell you a certain bunch is running
the local. You will always find the
true union man at his post, and II 1t
were not for the fact that the various
locals have a number of such men,
bers the majority of our unions
would soon cease to exist The very
bunch alluded to are the men who
make good wages in the town, and II
1t were not for that same bunch the
town would be a good place to keep
away from. Keep the business of
the local mum; let those who fail to
attend meetings stay in ignorance,
and last, but not least, stop the
damnable inferior work business.
