LABOR LOYALTY
EMPHATICALLY
DEMONSTRATED

Wednesday evening the labor dem
onstration in celebration of Labor
Loyalty Week, was attended by a
large and appreciative audience of
Everett men and women. This was
another one of those times when the
large halls in the Labor Temple were
not large enough to accommodate the
crowd.
President Vingen of the Trades
Council called the meeting to order
and, good naturedly and diplomatic
cally ran through the program de-
spite a few halts and bitches caused
by the failure of few of the enter
tainers failing to show up.
The first number on the program
was the unfurling of the mammoth
Labor Temple service flag, bearing
SO stars. This delicate duty was
performed most acceptably by little
Miss Enola E. Altman daughter
of Tom and Mrs. Julia Alliman) de-
livering an appropriate recitation en-
titled "Service Flag" which with its
vein of pathos touched the hearts
of all the audience.
Then came a solo by Harry r.
Embree, entitled "Well Never Let
the Old Flag Fall" with piano ac-
compartment oy Irving E. Jones.
President Vingen introduced VIM.
Short, President of the Washington
State Federation of Labor, who de-
livered an address full of force and
driving home with sledge-
hammer blows not only the duty of,
but the necessity for the United
States entering the war to preserve
civilization. Bro. Shorts speech was
received and COM
ments on it's merits were of the most
mplimentary character.
A piano overture by prof" George
Francois (the young son of Ed. and
Mrs. Viola Franeois) was well re-
ceived and encored. The title of
Georges selection was "Raisin Ell"
but instead it raised admiration and
wonder in his hearers that one so
young could become such an accom-
plished musician.
Mr.. E. j. Edney favored with a
solo, which pleased his hearers and
brought forth an encore.
The Everett Mandolin Club -four
teen pieces) treated the audience to
three slections which were greatly
enjoyed.
The Chair then introduced Secre-
tary- Treasurer Charles Perry Taylor
of the State Federation of Labor.
The date had been set for Bro. Tay
lor to address the Trades Council
on the three initiative measurers to
be submitted to the voters next Nov
ember, but shortness of time would
not permit, so he delivered short
patriotic address in which he gave
additional strong reasons why our
country is at war. Bro. Taylor also
the memory of Abraham
Lincoln, that great exponent of pure
democracy and friend of labor. Lin
coin was the best type of plain
citizen.
At the close of Bro. Taylor's
speech Mr.. Embree favored with an
other solo entitled "Over There"
Bro. Vingen then announced that
luncheon awaited all in the hall
above, whittier almost everybody pres
ent went. There were two tables
the full length of the large hall,
filled twice, and everybody enjoyed
good eats. The luncheon was SER
we'd by the ladies of the Label Lea
que, well known for their excellent
of affairs of this kind.
The Trades Council cannot do with
out them when it gives an entertain
ment.
After luncheon about half the at
tendants at the entertainment
descended to the lower hall
and enjoyed dancing. Mrs. Leo furn-
ished the music for awhile. Miss
Olga Moo then volunteered her SER
vices. She went to her home on CAL
ifornia Street, between Broadway and
McDougall. brought her music back
with her to the Temple and played
for the merrymakers until home-go-
ing time. The Trades Council COM
mittee and all those who participated
in the dance sextend their thanks to
Miss Moo for the great favor. She
will be gratefully remembered.
The Trades Council Committee
thanks those who contributed good
eats to the luncheon, as follows:
Fruits, the White House Fruit Co.;
pickles and olives, Blacker Bros; but
ter, The Meadowmoor; sugar, Moon
& Reep; salad, Cooks and Walters
Union; coffee, Manning's Lunch and
