FISH TAILS FOR HATS.

The United States fisheries bu-
reau is anxious to make fish tails
fashionable. 1t urges that some fish
tails are very handsome, and that,
supplemented with fins, they would
furnish most attractive ornaments
for women's hats. With an Incl
dental trimming Of the beautiful
and delicate water-weed, recently
discovered in extensive beds on the
bottom of the Chesapeake, they
might-both fins and weed being
dried and suitably dyed-lend a ma
rine effect extremely fetching.
This idea is specially recommend
ed for mermaids and other young
ladies visiting the seashore.

Did Amrica win the war? Ask
the Germans-they appear to be ex-
periencing some sensations of de-
feat. Was there g breakdown of
the American Army? Put the ques-
ton to the French and the English,
who know what reverses and handi-
caps really are. Did alleged Ameri-

terms of the armistice. Did alleged
American Encouragement cause an
American retreat? Ask a soldier
or sailor-and then run before you
get the answer.

GIRLS SUBJECTED
TO WAGE SLAVERY

A law difficult of enforcement is
the minimum wage scale adopted by
the Industrial Welfare Commission
for women.
Under this law there are girls
in Everett working more than eight
hours and for less than 1890 per
week. The machinery for enforce
ing this law is inadequate, as there
| is no system Of inspection or investi-
cation to detect violations of the
law by employers.
Complaints and rumors are cur
rent that there are restaurants and
laundries in this city which work
girls over eight hours and pay them
less than the legal wage.
The bosses, in some instances, tell
the girls that if they do not sub
nit to their demands there are
other girls waiting to take their
jobs; that if they tell Union or State
officials their grievances they will
be discharged. The girls submit,
because they must work to live
Now the Industrial Welfare Com
mission has set a wage for girls
below which they cannot live de-
Gently. The public knows this; the
Trades Unions know il; but the lat
ter must have some aid in detecting
wage law violators. The public can
do this. Every patron o. every
place where girls or children are
employed may have a chance TO ac-
Guire Information regarding the
mistreatment of girl employees
and if such patron Is possessed Of
a sense Of justice he or she can
give that information to the Trades
Unions and they will find a way to
convey it to the public official
whose duty it is to look after such
matters.
There are women's societies and
clubs in every city which could per
form a great service to morality,
justice and humanity by giving
friendly aid and advice to working
girls. We respectfully suggest that
II would not be beneath their dig
nifty to cooperate with the Trades
Unions in this matter.
Let us all get together and clean
this town up some.

which long ago was stolen, sold and
given away.
New York has for years been buy
ing back its wator front at an en-
ormous cost.
Those of our people who are still
optimistic regarding the coming of
the Ford industry say: ooh, but
Henry Ford would build his own
docks
Yes, and his factories would re-
ceive thousands of tons of materials
landed at other docks.
We hope this story is not true,
but if it receives confirms -n it
will serve to show how the people
have awakened from a 3O-year sleep
to find themselves fenced in from
the sea by few corporations and
individuals.
The people Of the State of Wash
ington must pay tribute to the cor
porations and individuals who hold
her water frontage and exploit her
commercial activities, until through
port districts like that Of Seattle
they buy back the needed portion of
her property which was stolen. sold
and given away.
Experience is the best teacher
and by this time the people of this
city and State should have learned
the bitter lesson.

HENRY FORD WILL NOT
BUILD IN THIS CITY

Information has reached this city
that San Francisco has secured the
location of the Henry Ford tractor
plant for that city.
There is lingering hope that the
news is without foundation, but,
unfortunately there are reasons
which would cause Mr.. Ford to
abandon his intention of locating in
Everett. One of these reasons is
the high tonnage charges levied by
Everett docks. We are told that in
this city the charges are so cents
while in San Francisco they are G
cents. That's a staggerer. The
State of California owns and oper-
ates all wharfage in San Francisco
The wharves of Everett are private
ly owned with the exception of the
City Dock, which is leased at ridi-
culously low rental and the lessee
charges outrageously high whar-
fage rates.
Thirty years ago the Territory Of
Washington had an opportunity to
hold all water frontage on Puget
Sound-that magnificent inland
sea-and if the State held it in per-
tituity no other maritime State
could compete with Washington in
manufacturing and commerce with

The Federal Trade Commission has

SEC'Y GLASS THANKS
THE SAVINGS BANKS

Secretary of the Treasury Carter
Glass has sent the following tele-
gram to Governor James X. Lynch
of the Federal Reserve Bank thank
ing the savings banks Of the district
for their assistance to the govern
ment:
please extend to the members
of the savings banks OF your dis
tr'ct the appreciation of the Treas
ury Department for the assistance
which they have rendered the
government during the Liberty
Loan and War Savings campaigns
and say that the Treasury Depart
ment will welcome the continuance
of their active cooperation in cam
paigns of the same nature during
1919.
"Obligations incurred, by the
government in order to win the
war at the earliest possible date
and which undoubtedly helped to
terminate the war much sooner
than might otherwise have been the
case must be liquidated. This can
be accomplished only by levy of
taxes and by the savings of the peo-
Pile converted into investments in
government obligations issued for
the purpose.
Savings banks as a whole have
not suffered loss of deposits as a
result of war financing. On the
contrary, gains have been received
and l am informed that deposits in
savings banks are now rapidly in
creasing. / am confident that the
savings banks of the country will
periodically assist in the great task
of helping to liquidate the war bills
of our government and of encour-
aging the habit of thrift amongst
the people which in trun should
reflict itself in larger deposits and
consequently increased prosperity
for savings institutions"

RETAIL CLERKS HOLD
LIVE WIRE MEETING

Last Friday evening in Hall No.
2, Labor Temple, the Retail Clerks
held their second organization meet
ing, which was we'll attended and
full of business and good humor,
There was an absence of oratory of
the spread-eagle kind, the entire
proceedings reminding one of an
old deliberative body transacting
routine business.
Bro. Morey f. Weisfeld, secretary
of the Seattle Retail Clerks Union
and Special Organizer for the Inter
national was present. In modest,
unpretending way he gave instruc-
lions and advice to the assembled
clerks. He described the working
of the Seattle Union and spoke with
earnestness of the benefits to be
derived from organization to both
clerks and their employers.

fairs and said there was too much
of a feeling of "let George do it,
among the members of all kinds of
EXAMINATIONS. By attendance at
meetings all members become &C
quainted with one another, making
them better fitted to help one an
other, to help other Unions and de-
serve aid from other Unions.
Bro. Weisfeld dwelt upon the
benefits of social entertainments,
as social functions gave opportuni-
ties to get-to-gether and get-to-
gethers created the desire to stick
together. He said cooperation by
employers and employees in the
mercantile business would aid the
employees in making cooperative
agreements.
Among other advantages of mem
bership in the Clerks Union were
the sick and death benefits, but,
he said, the social benefits would
more than compensate the. members
for all money paid for the support
of the Union.
There were a mum Der eof women
clerks present who, together with
all the men signed the charter roll
and paid their initiation fees,
which, until the charter is closed,
will be 50 for the men and 81 for
the women.
The charter will be held open
until Friday night, the 2Sth, to
allow all clerks who may wish to
join to get in on the small charter
fee.
The Clerks Union will met this,
Friday evening, in Hall No. 2, when
the charter is expected to arrive

do YOU REALIZE WHAT
HEALTH MEANS TO YOU?

AS worker, do you realize what
health means to you? Health means
earning ability. When sickness
comes, wages stop. When you be-
gin to feel run down, perhaps you
don't know what is the matter,
but you can't work so fast or so we'll
as usual. If you are piece work
er, your pay envelope contains less.
If you are a day worker your boss
looks dissatisfied,
You know the difference between
that fine physical vigor which
makes movement satisfaction,
and the weary depression which
comes from forcing muscles to Gus
tomary tasks. Without health,
skill and mental ability are of no
avail. Though health Is the chief
asset of the industrial worker, prac-
tically every trade has special
hazard.
Sharp, hard, fine dust particles
that fill the air of the workshop
tear and wound delicate lungs
tuberculosis and industrial con-
sumption find lodging place.
Dusty trades shorten lives.
Haven't you seen painters, plum
bers, printers, pottery workers who
suffered from violent headaches,
wrist drop, palsy, neuritis?
There are poisons and fumes from
many articles used in production.
Without safeguards, these are a
menace to the health of workers.
Bad air, dirt, poor lighting, in
adequate toilet and washing facl-
lities mean a tax on physical vitali-
UNNECESSARY menace to health.
The management of your plant
is responsible for keeping a safe,
clean, sanitary work place, and for
providing the necessary preventive
measures against the special hazard
of your trade.
In addition, the health or mo
worker is safe unless he has regular
professional advice warning him of
developing physical Weakness or
tendency toward disease.
How can that be done?
Different methods have been
tried with success.
In some plants the management
has an industrial physician in
charge of dispensary, who regular
ly examines all workers and adj
vises them what is necessary in
order to keep we'll, and recommends
changes of work when necessary.
When physical supervision is di-
rected to determine fitness of work
ers for jobs, it becomes the chief
factor in the industrial health pro-
gram.
Abuses Of the physical eXamina-
lions have created some opposition
to it.
The remedy lies in eliminating
those abuses.
In some places industrial clinics
have been established under govern
mental supervision or under the
control of workers themselves.
Through these agencies, workers are
advised how to keep we'll

Told Lies About Americans Claimed
They Had Levied Indemnities.

COBLENI, Monday, June % (Associat-
ed Press).-George Sauerborn, editor Of
the Montaubauer kreisblatt, convicted
on the charge of having published false
statements regarding the American troops,
has been fined 1000 marks and sentenced
to three months imprisonment. The Jail
sentence, however, was suspended.
Sauerborn's defense was that the Kreis
batt had reprinted the article from a
newspaper in unoccupied Germany, which
alleged the killing of two Americans by
civilians and that the Americans subsc
quently levied a fine of 10000 marks or
the town where the shooting was alleged
to have occurred
The military authorities contended thai
the publication of this and similar articles
was due to a secret German organization
the object of which was to spread anti
American propaganda in unoccupied Ger
many and in the occupied zones as well
