UNIONS START DAILY

SEATTLE-To put their new daily newspaper on a financial basis the central labor union has incorporated a $10O,OOO stock company. To check any attempt of outside influences to gain control of majority of the stock, 51 per cent will be held by the central labor union. The spirit behind this movement is shown in the report of Editor Ault who stated that in one week $9,900 in cash or Liberty bonds had been contributed. When Delegate Wilson of the Truckers union heard this statement he said the amount should be $10,000, and posted his bonds for $100.

UNION MEN ARE
 BEST SHIP BUILDERS
Work Wonders and Break All Records at the Seattle Ship Yards

NEW YORK-The New York. World says that Seattle ship builders. are working wonders and points to, the record of the Skinner 6 Eddy cor poration of that city, which has turned over to the government .12 steel vessels, three of which have been the only ones delivered on an order of the United States emergency fleet corporation. Rear Admiral Bowles had this record in mind, it is stated, when he declared that the country can build ships in record time.
 On May % last. less than a year ago, the United States emergency fleet corporation gave Skinner & Eddy an order for six ships, each of 5000 dead-weigN tons. Three of these are already at sea, and the fourth has just been delivered to the government. On January 15, less than 90 days ago, the emergency fleet corporation gave an order for 14 more ships. The first iof these will be delivered May 15, four months after the contract was signed. 1t is stated that work in some of the eastern yards is four months behind schedule.
 The last vessel delivered by the Skinner & Eddy concern was coin pleted from keel laying to sea duty in 83 working days. It was turned over to the government 81 days earlier than the company promised, Ship officials figure that from the five ways at this yard over 20 vessels will be turned out this year.
 These records are of especial inter est to trade unionists because the Skinner & Eddy yard is strictly union. At hearing before govern ment board in Seattle recently, off, cers of this company declared they would not employ any one but mem Der of organized labor.

Love fn Fishdon,.

This is no ''fish" story as the term is usually referred to, but 1t is story about fish. Jim Foster, student of fish affairs, vouches for itsNauthenticity.
 Jim has collection of big live fish in small aquarium in a down-town restaurant and for 12 hours every night he watches them perform.
 The fish are very affectionate," de- 1clared the fish student. ''They are good-tempered and kind toward one an- other. See those two largest fish? They are married guess, or else in love with each other. They always kiss each other good night and nibble affectionately at each others mouths. The female of the two never puts her cold fins on the male one's back. And in the morning-say, it's amusing to watch them yawn and stretch them selves. Free Press.

How Would You Tie . Camel,


 Because of its peculiar swaying mos ton in walking the camel has been called the "ship of the desert" This title may also have some reference to the extreme stupidity and passivity of the animal. which submits to great loads, which 1t will often carry for days at a time without stopping for food or drink, with no more urging than ship would require from the hands of its pilot, says the Popular Science Monthly. The manner in which the drivers hobble- the camels when they stop for rest is interesting. They do not depend upon stakes driven in the deep, yielding saEd, but simply double back and tie one of the fore legs of the animal. so that 1t can lie down or rise up, but cannot move from the spot.

The Department of the Interior has had c. E. Weber appointed Explosives Licensing Agent for the Wrangell district.
 The Sixty. fifth congress passed an act prohibiting the sale of explosives in time of war. The only way in which any one can now purchase explosives of any kind is by obtaining a permit from a duly appointed explosives licensing agent.
 The licensing agent has great discretionary powers, and is not expected to issue a permit for any one to make a purchase of explosive material unless he knows that it is to be used for some legitimate purpose such as blasting in mines.

Presbyterian Church.

The selective draft, is the method by which the United States calls men for military ser vice at this time. No man knows whether he will be the one sel- ected or not, until the drawing is over. If his number is drawn, he appears and may make ex- cuses why the government ought not to require him to serve, and so avoid the call. But when called, if he qualities for service, then he is one of the elect, chosen ones. God is calling to all, and some are asking, to be excused, and some are begging off, and some are qualifying and become the elect, chosen ones. Are you among the elect ones?
 Text: 1 Peter 2::9. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of dark ness into His marvellous light; which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.'
