Whereas, The Star Laundry and
the Capital Laundry have seen fit to
combine their efforts in order to de-
feat organized labor, and have re-
fused to cooperate with organized
labor.
Resolved, That the Olympia Trades
Council take immediate action and
place the Capital Steam Laundry on
the unfair list.
Resolved, That Olympia Trades
Council open a branch office of the
Mutual Laundry of Seattle in Olym-
pia; that as soon as this branch ONCE
can be opened that strike be called
and the drivers be put In charge OF
the branch office, SO that they may
solicit the business Of union men and
all other Americans, to the end that
they be given the privilege Of patron
ixing a laundry where Asiatic condi-
tions do not exist. that this branch
office be maintained until such time
as the mossback cavemen of Olympia
have seen At to come out of their
trance, or until the Olympia Trades
Council sees fit to discontinue such
branch Office.
Resolved. That all local unions OF
this city be informed of the action OF
the Council. with the request that q
fine be placed against any union man
who is found patronizing the Star
Laundry or the Capital Laundry dur
ing the period Of this trouble.
The foregoing resolutions, present
ed by the Steam Engineers and the
Transfers and Chauffeurs, was unan'
imously concurred in by the Trades
Council at the meeting of January
81. The following Sunday a repre-
sentative was sent to Seattle and ar
rangements were made with the Mu'
tual Laundry for establishment of an
agency here. This agency will be
doing business by the first of the
coming week.
The Star Laundry has been on thu
unfair list for some weeks.
The Mutual Laundry is a cooper
alive institution, the largest laundry
in Seattle, with the latest and bes
equipment. A carload of new ma
chinery was being installed the da!
day on which the Council representa-
tive visited Seattle.
The working force of the laundr!
is strictly union throughout, and thu
working conditions are In ACCORD
with the most advanced sanitary ant
humane regulations of the unions ex
ercising jurisdiction over the work.
Eight hours constitutes a day
work, and wages range from 50
week for apprentices in the frs
three months of apprenticeship t
322.5O week for head washermen
A curious fact was established b,
comparison of the price lists of tn
Mutual Laundry and those of tn
local concerns--the charges for laun
dry work are practically identical
Local laundries have the benefit o
low rents, work their employees lon
hours, and pay inadequate wages
and yet they represent themselves a
poverty-stricken.

TO a signal from the admiral, turned
and led the way toward England. and
the submarines were ordered to fol-

surrender had been accomplished.
Each cruiser turned and, keeping
careful lookout, steamed toward Har-

submarines two SO guns and twenty
three officers and men were counted
on her deck. The craft was estimated
to be nearly 800 feet in length. It's

The Harwich forces, the seaplanes

One of the submarines was seen to

the admiral that it had no right to do
this.

With the exception of the engine
stats all the German sailors re-
manned on deck. The submarines
were then taken through the gates of

ROOSEVELT And WIFE

COLONEL PROTESTS AGAINST

NEW YORK.-Col. Roosevelt to-
day authorized the announcement
that he and Mrs. Roosevelt would visit
the grave of their son, Lieut.. Quentin
Roosevelt, in France at the spot where
ne fell after his. airplane had been
shot down by the Germans. Col
Roosevelt made public protest he
sent to Gen. March, chief of staff of
the United States army, against the
planned removal of his sons BODY to
this country.
Gen. March consented that Lieut.
RoOsevelt's body should remain in
the grave where it was buried by the
Germans, and instructed Gen Per-
shing to carry out Col. Roosevelt's
wishes.
In his letter to Gen. March Col
Roosevelt referred to the report that
the American dead would be taken
home after the war, and continued ::
Mrs. Roosevelt and l wish to enter
most respectful but emphatic pro-
test against the proposed course so
far as our son, Quentin, is concerned.
We have always believed that
Where the tree falls,
There let it lie.
I'VE know that many good persons
feel entirely different, but to us it is
painful and narrowing long after
death to move the poor body from
which the soul has fled. We greatly
prefer that Quentin shall continue to
lie on the spot where he fell in battle
and where the foeman buried him.
After the war is over Mrs. Roose-
welt and / intend to visit the grave
and there to have a small stone put
up saying it is put up by US, but will
not disturb what has already been
erected to his memory by his friends

EMBARGO ON COTTON
Is PARTLY RAISED
RESTRICTIONS ON EXPORTS RE.
MOVER EXCEPT TO ENEMY
AND NORTH NEUTRALS.
SMITH AND OTHER SOUTHERN
SENATORS MOVED In MATTER

Several Nations Are Requesting Cot
ton Now on the Docks, and Have
Tonnage for the transportation.
More Cotton Is Moving.
WASHINGTON.-AIl restrictions
on the shipment of cotton from the
United States except to enemy coun-
tries and to the northern European
neutrals have been removed, Senator
Hoke Smith, of Gorgia, said today
after conference with officials of
the war trade board. Cotton is ex-
pected to flow more freely to coun-
tries contiguous to Germany when
that nation has complied with all the
terms of the armistice, the senator
said.
Senators Send Petition.
A petition from congressional del
egations of cotton-growing states for
relaxation of the war trade boards
cotton export embargo was sent to
President Wilson today by Senators
Smith, of Georgia; Sheppard, of
Texas, and Mcclellan, of Tennessee,
committee representing the con-
gressional interests.
Several nations, both belligerents
and neutrals, are requesting cotton
now on the docks and are able and
anxious to furnish tonnage for it's
transportation. Japan, Holland and
Spain, especially, the senator's petit
ton recited, have filed requests which
alone call for more than 100000
bales now awaiting shipment.
The only obstacle in movement of
the embargoed cotton, according to
the senator's plea, is the govern
ment's restrictive orders, and they
asked that these be modified if not
entirely abrogated.
More Cotton Moving.
Cotton in increased quantities al
ready is moving to the allied coun-
tries. Because of the fact that In
dia's cotton crop this year was suf-
ficient only for that country's needs,
Senator Smith said, Japan has been
very anxious to get cotton from the
United States. Japan's needs are es-
timated at 100000 bales. Stocks
of cotton in the south now are said
to exceed 100000 bales and it was
because of this fact that the recent
southern conference decided to ask
war trade board and other govern
ment agencies to modify the restric-
tiOns on exports. The matter also
was brought to the attention of the
president

YOU ARE WARNED NOT TO
TURN HANDS OF YOUR
TIMEPIECES

Chicago, Sept. 27.--When the ma
ton yawns and takes an extra hours
sleep October q, the date set for
. ending the daylight-saving season,
there is grave danger OF causing
great waste in the clockmaking in
dustry.
There must be no turning back
the hands OF the clock, time-rccord-
ing experts declare in 4 warning to
the public. Such action would fair
w shattcr the morale Of the time
recording and master clocks and all
clocks striking the hours and would
require the services of an army OF
repair men, thus causing an unncc-
esSary waste Of manpoWcr.
Clocks should be stopped for
one hour at : a. NJ. on Oct. q; the
hands should not be turned back,
said Charles II. Crooks, of the Gin
cinnati Time Recorder Company.
There are Approximately 10000
time recorders and 10000 master and
controlling clocks in Chicago, and
il these were turned back, the re
sulting trouble calls would swamp
every repair man in the city. The
same conditions apply to other
cities"
The time service department of
the Western Union Telegraph Co.
offers what they consider a better
plan.
Turn the hands around eleven
hours is the advice OF this com
pany. "Whilc it is all right TO stop .
clocks, some difficulty will be found I
in starting them properly again. By /
turning the hands forward until the /
time indicated is one hour less than
at the start OF the change the same
result as stopping will be had"
The clock-makers say: 'Just as
surely as was Lots wife turned into
a pillar of salt when she turned back
to gaze upon Sodom, Father Time
will be turned into a repair shop II

that he must quit saving to help win
