YOUNG TRANSFERS TO LARGER
FIELD.

c. B. Young, business agent of the
Trades Council for the last four
four months, has accepted call to
Seattle and will work among the
members Of the Shipyard Laborers'
union of that city. He will work
through the district council, of which
he is the executive head, and will
thus be enabled to spend a part of
his time In Olympia caring for his
duties as financial secretary of the
local union. He hopes to be able to
be in Olympia Saturday, Sunday and
Monday, devoting the balance of his
time to the Seattle work. The Seat
tie union of Shipyard Laborers has
more than a thousand members, so
that the new field of our business
agent is much larger one than the
old and naturally commands in
creased compensation for larger du-
ties.
When the matter of continuing the
services of a business agent was
under discussion before the Council
last Thursday evening. Young de-
clared that he could not allow his
name to be considered. as he had
made other arrangements.
At the meeting of Shipyard Labor
ers, Monday evening. leave of alb
sence was given Secretary Young so
that he could engage in the work in
Seattle.
While much work has been accom-
plished in Olympia through the bust
ness agent in the last four months,
there is much yet to be done, and
local unions will feel the effects of
the change. Young is man of
more than ordinary ability and it is
certain that the results of his efforts
among the Seattle workers will be in
evidence from the start.

LOCAL LAUNOR|ES AND
LABOR UNIONS CLASH

1t Will be recommended u tno
Olympia Trades Council that the
two steam laundries of this city be
placed on the unfair List" and
that arrangements be made to divert
work to Seattle or Tacoma union
laundries.
This decision is the result of a
three and a half hours conference
between proprietors of the two local
steam laundries and committee OF
three, representing the Steam Engi-
neers' Union, the Transfers and
Chauffeurs and the Trades Council.
held last Saturday night.
The committee presented to the
laundry owners an agreement pro-
viding for an S-hour day for engi-
neers and teamsters, at a wage OF
81. It was proposed that the Ques-
lions relating to laundry workers be
settled through an adjustment board.
The contract provided for settlement
of all disputes through arbitration.
The laundry owners offered no
counter proposal, but held 1t to be q
necessity Of their business that pres
ent conditions continue. They de-
mand the right to employ inefficient
and unskilled men to tend their en-
gines and boilers, at daily wage OF
50 to $3.50, with days work con-
sisting Of 10 or more hours, accord
ing to the demands OF the accumu-
lated business Of the laundry They
did not agree. however, to assume
any responsibility for serious acci-
dents that might result from such q
policy. An explosion, of course,
would be laid to the careaessness of
overworked and underpaid employees.
The drivers, too, must work an unre-
stricted number of hours, according
to the demands of trade, and forget
any idea Of added compensation for
long hours of work; and any change
in the hard conditions Of the laundry
workers would be nothing less than
business suicide.
The pleas of the laundry proprie-
tors were fully set forth during the
conference, and may be boiled down
to these conclusions:
The laundry owners are being con-
stantly importuned for contributions
to the Red Cross and other schemes
for war support. until they have
come to regard such contributions as
q serious financial burden.
Soap has doubled and trebled in
price by the barrel, as has bluing
which, as an afterthought, they de-
clared they were unable to obtain at
any price.
Cotton cloth. for padding the
mangles and like uses, had enor-
mously increased in price.
The increased cost of groceries,
they insinuated, were visionary, one
proprietor citing that his grocery bill,
for himself and wife and two chill
dren, was never over $14 month.
Customers are careless and in diff
ferent about unnecessary and agra
waiting loss of time in the collecting
and delivery Of laundry, and contin-
uously growl and find fault, making
enforcement of reasonable regula-
lions In collecting and delivery I'm
practicable.
The split-penny practices of their
customers is annoying in the ex-
IRENE, and these practices were illus
trated by a stated instance of one
customer who had called with five
collars, found that the price for four
would be 10 cents and for five 13
cents, and thereupon had extracted
the one collar from the package and

AMERICAN GROWN
EGYPTIAN COTTON
SAVES SHIPPING

When the War Trade Board re-
Gently announced the revocation of
all outstanding licenses for the i'm
portation of Egyptian cotton and that
importation of only $4,000 bales of
long-staple Egyptian cotton will be
allowed during 1918, attention was
called to the increase in the produc-
ton of Egyptian cotton in the irri-
gated lands of Arizona and neighbor-
ing states. The production in 1918
of this American-grown Egyptian
cotton, according to specialists of
the United States Department of
Agriculture, probably will be be-
tween 10000 and $4,000 bales. In
1917 the production was 10000 bales,
and in 1916, 1881 bales. The acre
age this year is estimated at 10000,
compared with an acreage of $4,000
in 1917. Egyptian cotton is used
largely for automobile tires and
hlgh-grade sewing thread, and spin
ming tests by the Bureau of Markets
of the department indicate that it
can be used advantageously in the
manufacture of airplane and balloon
fabrics. Commercial production of
Egyptian cotton in the American
southwest was begun only in 1912,
after long experimentation by the
Bureau of Plant Industry, but al
ready the industry has grown to such
an extent that imports can be cut to
10000 bales, thus saving a great
amount of cargo space on the long
water haul from the land of the
Sphinx.

AMERICAN LABOR'S
STAND is KNOWN
IN GERMANY

During our stay abroad the po-
sition of the American Federation
of Labor was not only carried to
the labor movements in Britain
and France, but was in fact laid
before the world, due to the prom
inence given our mission. More
over, we left for home with the
definite knowledge that our dec
larations had penetrated into Ger
many and Austria with sufficient
depth to give to large sections of
those countries a knowledge of
the spirit and determination of
the American trade union move
ment.
1t is fair to assume, in the light
of this knowledge, that at least
the German and Austrian leaders
of a misguided population know
that in America the workers
understand that the barrier be-
tween us and them has been
raised by their own actions and
must be destroyed by the leu
tonic people themselves or by the
weight of our armed forces before
there can be any discussion with
them relating to peace or interna-
tional fellowship.-From report of

FEDERAL WOMAN'S
LABOR BUREAU

Secretary of Labor Wilson has
created a Federal Woman's Labor
Bureau. For years the trades union
women aided by the A. F. of L. and
the state declarations have been work
ing to this end. The women's well
fare and political clubs and associa-
tions have in recent pears given their
aid to this movement for the better
ment of the working conditions and
pay of women workers.

ging graves. Their tasks are i'm
tied only by their capacity.
And it is interesting just here to
recall that we met a gray uniformed
American woman in London, en-
gagged in building up service for
the American front modelled after
the pattern of the Waacs organiza-
ton. She was thoroughly capable
American woman who radiated en-
ergy and enthusiasm for her work.
She wore "U.S.A." on her collar.
Some busy-bodies in England
more hasty than wise, stirred up a
hornets nest by charging that the
women at the front were stepped in
immortality. There was an official
investigation and we had the pleas
ure of reading the report before we
sailed for home Morality ran bet
ter race at the front than in civilian
life. Actually less immortality among
these women in the rough and ready
of war than in the protected"
homelife of their former sphere. 1t
was a crushing answer to those who
assailed Nantes conception of what
her job is in this war.
These women of France and Brit
ain are not in industry because prof
iteering employers can hire them
cheaply. They are there because they
want to be there and because they
are needed there. John is not
enough to run the front line and the
home line at the same time in this
war.
John has got to have Mamie's
help and Mamie is on tip-toe to give
it to him. The happiest faces in
England were the faces of women
munition workers. No one can
ever tell the insanity among women
that has been prevented "over
there" by the work they have had
to take their minds from the ever
lasting strain of worry about John
out there where life is an everlast-
ing juggle with death.
1t seems to me that this heroic
achievement of the women of France
and Britain should key every Amer
lean to achieve to the utmost.
America would go wild with en-
thusiasm and would weep honest
tears of emotion if the great army
of Mamies-the women war workers
Of those two lands-could march in
their thousands upon thousands
