BROTHERHOOD OF CARPENTERS

At the regular meeting Of Carpen-
tiers Union No. $50, held Monday
night. the secretary was instructed
to give public notice Of an increase
of the wage scale. The new scale is
made effective April LIST, thus giving
all contractors time to adjust them
selves to the proposed change.
Four additional members we're
taken into the union.
Secretary Gloyd. who has been in
the East for some time, was some
what fiabbergashed at the changed
position of his union. When he de-
parted the membership was limited
to a dozen, with off-and-on meetings
Upon his return to the city roster
OF more than 40 names confronted
him. Along with the addition of
new members comes new life and
confidence and the Carpenters Union
is now an active limb of the local
labor movement.
Aside from routine business the
union discussed at considerable
length a possible antidote to the con-
slant misrepresentation Of organ
ICED labor in the news and editorial
columns of the kept press.
Secretary Gloyd. on his trip in the
East, visited Fort Wayne. Indiana
primarily, but also visited St. Louis
Galveston and other cities.

| stances. In some quarters they de-
clare that it is impossible for them
to consider the proposals of the
unions; in other quarters they say
they are willing to enter into reas-
enable agreement. Yet team own
ers of the city have signed an agree
ment identical with that presented to
the laundries. Laundry driving is
special work and as a rule COM
mands a scale of wages above the
average. In the local case drivers
were placed upon a par with other
drivers, which in itself is conces-
sion to the laundrymen.
In the daily papers is published
notices to patrons that the former
drivers of laundry deliveries are no
longer employed and not authorized
to solicit business or collect accounts.
Such tactics are cheap and withou:
doubt will have a boomerang affect
upon the perpetrators. The drivers
have hosts Of friends in the city, who
quite naturally will resent this at
tempt to thus cast a reflection upon
their integrity.
Throughout the city people are
coming to the assistance of the new
laundry agency, ana by personal ex-
PLANTATION, effectively counteracting
the camouflage that is being attempt
ed by the laundrymen.

WORK FLOWING To-
MUTUAL LAUNDRY
LOCAL AGENCY HAS MADE BIG
SHIPMENTS THIS
WEEK.
Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
We agree with the statement OF
the paid advertisements of the Star
and the Capital laundries that we no
longer are in their employ. We pro-
test, however, against tho insinuation
that we did not voluntarily withdraw
from their service and that we would
be likely to solicit business or collect
accounts of our late employers. We
Quit the service of the laundries be-
cause we were unable to get the laun-
dry owners to agree to shorter hours
and better wages. not alone for our
selves but for other laundry
employees. 1t is our pleasure to be
able to solicit work in behalf Of q
laundry where the best conditions OF
labor and wages are In effect. The
Mutual not only treats its employees
with consideration, but comedies to
its patrons the gift OF common cour-
tesy and fairness. The Mutual pos
sesses the finest laundry equipment
In the state, and its price lists are
identical with that Of the Star and
the Capital. We solicit business for
the Mutual laundry, but have not the
slightest intention or desire to secure
business or collect accounts Of the
Star or the Capital laundries.
Very truly yours,
]. e. DEvINE.
l.. H. M'GONIGLE.

The local laundry situation has
= gratifying aspect from the stand
point of opponents Of local laundry
concerns. Offers of support to the
new institution are coming in to its
headquarters hourly. and the three
drivers in charge of the agency, at
122 East Fifth street. have been
kept busy during the week.
Patrons of the Mutual have been
put to some Inconvenience through
lack of telephone service. Order for
telephone service was placed in the
local telephone ONCE last Saturday.
There has been an aggravating de-
lay In the installation Of the phone,
but 1t is hoped to remedy this, SO
that patrons may call the agency by
phone after Monday.
The laundry owners are proceed
ing along lines usually followed by
those in a like situation. and are
depending upon the effect of in
spired statements and denials of
well-known facts to secure the SYM
patty Of their former patrons.
1t is plaintively claimed that their
business will not justify any change
in wages or conditions, yet 1t can
be proven that one Of the laundries
has made offer of the union scale
and short hours to one driver II he
would accept service with their
laundry.
It is claimed that the statement OF
this department that laundry work.
ers come to work at o'clock In the
afternoon was not according to the
facts. It is true. however. that We
quoted the statement Of the laundry
men themselves on that point. The
Trades Council representative was
one of the union conferees and paid
particular attention to the argument
of the employers and their replies
in saying that the story as published
was absolutely correct. &&Fs

ers varies according to the circum-

ATTRACTIVE PROGRAM AT PA
TRIOTIC MEETING.

The program of the patriotic meet
ing, in the house chamber at the Cap
itol Tuesday night, was an attractive
one. Appreciation of those pres
ent was much in evidence, but the
satisfaction of the promoters was
somewhat dampened by the small
number in attendance. The audience,
however, was exclusively trade union
in character. only very few busi-
ness and professional people being
present.
President Edwin Elder Of Carpent-
ers' union opened the meeting late
and remarked on the small attend
ance. He thanked those present
and related an experience of the
committee on arrangements. Appli-
cation was made on one music
house for the loan of a piano. The
music man demurred because he had
no secondhand instruments on hand,
but suggested that the piano at the
Socialist hall probably could be se-
cured. The committee accepted the
suggestion and waited upon the
proper person of the Socialist group.
Permission was secured, but when
time to remove the piano came to
hand the committee was met with 4
surly query as to why the piano
houses were not called upon to fur
nish the instrument. The chairman
regretted this incident as showing .
lack of appreciation of the spirit in
which the meeting was called. The
piano was secured from another
source. and the numbers on the pro-
gram were splendid and we'll re-
ceived.
Thos. NJ. Vance was listened to
with good attention. His address
was general-"an oft-told tale" ac-
cording to the speakers own words.
He made little reference to the
part labor was to play In the war
but confined himself to mention of
the glorious history Of the republic,
Of the justice of the present under
taking and exhorting all true Amer
leans to do their utmost to sustain
the boys in the trenches Of France.
In closing Mr.. Vance drew atten-
ton to the fact that repeated calls
would be made for support of the
government, in the way of funds, and
urged everyone to do his share will
lingly and promptly.
President A. j. McCaugh.n of the
Red Cross and of other agencies of
Ship Carpenters sat on the stage with
President Elder and the speaker
The musical part Of the program
consisted of piano solo by Mrs.
Musgrove: vocal solo by Miss Gray,
accompanied by Miss Newcomb. and
vocal solo by Miss Bunce. accom-
panied by Miss Meta Perring on the
piano and J. A. Clary on the cello.
The artists responded to encores.

SHIPYARD IAABORERS SWITCH
THEIR ALLEGIANCE.

The local union of Shipyard Labor
ers has received charter from the
International Association of Long
shoremen, and at meeting Monday
night. which taxed the capacity of
Eagles hall, adopted resolution
formally transferring the member
ship. The new union will be known
as Shipyard Laborers, Riggers and
Fasteners. 1t has a membership at
this time of 1862.
The enlarged title interprets the
movement which led to the change.
Air hammer men, boring machine
men, plankers and sealers were or
ganized under the laborers' charter.
but there was a doubt that they could
hold together under covenant SO
limited in scope as the federal char
ter under which they operated. It
was feared that other unions would
claim and secure Jurisdiction over
the more skilled portion Of their
membership. which constituted more
than half the membership, and thus
seriously weaken them. To forestail
this the new affiliation was agreed
upon. which secures to them control
Of the work which has been done by
members of the Shipyard Laborers'
union since the opening Of the ship
yards.
Negotiations with the Information
al Longshoremen were conducted
through the District Council OF Ship
yard Laborers. A liberal agreement,
safeguarding the rights OF the men,
ership of the new union and guaran-
teeing complete district and local au-
tonomy was entered into.
At the meeting of the district
council in Seattle last Saturday the
reorganization was completed, which
has since been ratified by the several
locals, comprising a membership of
about 1000 and growing rapidly.
c. B. Young of Olympia was elect
ed president and general organizer OF
the recognized district council. The
headquarters will be in Seattle,
though President Young retains
membership In the Olympia local.
The local union elected George w.
Lish financial secretary and business
agent, initiated 80 members, and had
a short discussion of the situation
growing out of the strike at the ship
yards.
