AVOID HYSTERIA.

Officers of the. national board of
fire underwriters have put quietus
on the long current reports that fires
set by enemy agents were ravaging
factories of the United States. The
board has had expert Investigators
inquire into the causes of Is fires &C.
curing between April and December
last and finds that in nearly 95 per
cent of the cases there is no proof of
an incendiary origin and in nearly 80
per cent there is no reason for even
suspicion.
This statement is not intended to
minimize the necessity for precau-
tion," warns the board. "Overalert-
ness in such matter is better than
indebtedness, and there is degree
of value in the tendency to view with
suspicion every fire causing destruc-
ton Of munitions or supplies until its
cause has been investigated. But 1t
is necessary to avoid hysteria, and in
this sense the data obtained are reas-
suring."

PARTISAN LAW VETOED.

Governor Mccall of Massachusetts
vetoed the bill to provide that candi-
dates of political parties for secretary
of state, auditor, treasurer and attor-
ney general shall be nominated at
party conventions, instead of direct
primaries as at present. In his veto
the governor said:
1.-THE time when all the free nations
of the world are standing side by side
in a life and death struggle for de-
mocracy, and the hearts of men are
kindled for popular rights as never
before, is surely not the time when
the commonwealth, of all states in
the Union, should start the retreat,
and point the way to the country to-
wards the restoration of political
privilege and to the Reinforcement
of the party boss"

UNSTABLE CONDITIONS DUE TO
LACK OF MANAGEMENT.

Last month the Engineering News
Record. New York, astounded large
employers by its radical" declara-
ton that in the future labor will
demand voice in each industry in
determining the conditions under
which 1t shall work."
This publication made statements
similar to those which have been
made in season and out of season by
organized labor, but whose protests
have been answered by strikebreak-
ers, injunctions and a flooded labor
market through stimulated immigra-
ton.
The war. however, has awakened
many employers to the fact that they
are confronted by labor question"
that will not down. This is indicated
by the Public Ledger of Philadelphia,
in an editorial which asks:
Have you labor troubles? Cease,
for Ave minutes, blaming labor. Per-
haps-perhaps it is your own fault.
Can your men find decent homes
within range Of your factory? What
kind of transportation do they get to
and from their work? How about
your system of employment? Do
minor officials hire Unfortunately
and petty foremen fire arbitrarily?
Do they misrepresent to applicants
the conditions of labor in your plant?
Do they handle the men tactlessly
after they get them? Do they put a
penalty on skill by cutting down
piece work rates as workmen increase
their production? Have they a rep
, utation for driving their men at low
wages?
! How large is your labor turn
over? Don't you know how demon
alizing it is to labor. what bitter feel
ings of class against class you stir up
when there is constant procession
of men into your employment and
+ out of 1t for any or all of the causes
specified above? Are you aware of
the fact, demonstrated within the
last months by men sent to follow
up government contracts aggregat-
ing billions. that in time of alleged
labor scarcity there was never so
large a population of disconnected
laborers drifting about the country
This Is due to unstable conditions OF
employment. which are traceable pri-
marily to lack of management"

LAUNDRY STOCK IS
OFFERED TO UNIONS
FORMAL CAMPAIGN OF MUTUAL
LAUNDRY COMPANY Is
LAUNCHED.

The Mutual Laundry Co. has es-
tablished headquarters In the Labor
Hall, Third and Washington, has
designated Geo. w. Lish, one of the
trustees, as director of stock sales,
and will wage vigorous campaign
until enough funds are secured to
establish steam laundry in this city.
The company has issued a pros
pectus to organized labor and its
friends in which 1t is said:
A steam laundry is to be estab-
lished in Olympia.
An up-to-date plant will be in
stalled.
The organization has been perfect
ed and incorporation papers of $16.-
900 company have been filed with the
secretary Of state.
The tite of the corporation Is the
Olympia Mutual Laundry Co.
The stock of the company consists
of 1900 shares at $40 each.
Trustees were chosen at a mass
meeting of union labor and its
friends.
Trustees are serving without pay:
the treasurer has been bonded; 1t Is
the intention to keep the overhead
expenses within bounds, and to this
end thoroughly competent manager
will be engaged, to take charge and
install and operate the plant when
we have sufficient stock subscriptions
to proceed with the installation.
We have under consideration de-
sirable proposition for erection of a
laundry building, which we can &C.
cupy under lease, with a purchasing
clause.
The institution will be operated
upon the principle of service to it's
patrons, of justice to the employees,
of reasonable hours of labor and fair
wages. The cornerstone will be serv-
ice, not profit.
The laundry business is a highly
profitable line. The field Is limited
only by the aggressiveness Of the in
stitution.
It Is the intention to make the
Olympia Mutual Laundry not only a
paying proposition from a business
standpoint but a standard Of equity
to which other institutions Of like
kind in this community must of
necessity conform. Four-dollar-a-
week wages for laundry girls will be
abolished. 1t will not be conducted
upon a pin-money basis. burdening
its workers with uncertainty-of con-
tinuity of employment, of length of
the days work, or meagerness of re-
ward. Sanitary conditions, thought
fulness toward the workers. which
begets faithful and efficient service,
WITH be the keynote.
The stock Is offered to organized
labor and its friends, as an invest
ment which will bring returns. and al
the same time protect the workers in
the laundry, assuring them living
wages, reasonable hours, certainty OF
employment, and part ownership OF
their own institution.
The present system Of operating ar
institution solely with the view oil
profit has failed. 1t has failed be-
cause the burdens are shifted to the
shoulders of the worker; the rewards
go to the owner alone. Cooperation
in business is growing with an ire
sistble force. 1t appeals to the
workers, because 1t is an assurance
