LABOR DAY, 1919

Next Monday will find Everett
in a more prosperous condition than
on any previous Labor Day in many
years, Notwithstanding the grievous
causes for discomfort.
One year ago the county was
participant in the greatest war in
the history Of the human race-a
war that threatened the utter de-
struction Of civilization
1t was a war to the knife of dem
ocracy against autocracy and our
people were led to believe it was
fought Ito make the world safe for
democracy" The people believed
the avowed object was attained
when the greatest and strongest
autocratic governments of the world
were crushed and consigned to OBJ
livion.
But democracy has not won.
There is still more fighting to
do.
Before victory can be truly
claimed the strongest plutocracies
the world has known must be fore
ed to yield to political governments
of, by and for the people and that
degree of industrial democracy
which will place the labor of the
country on an equality with capital.
Those who toll not shall not rule
the producers of all things needful
to man. That is the aim of labor.
What the people want is a gov
eminent by the majority for the
welfare of all the people. Let us
hope we will be nearer a realiiza-
ton of it next Labor Day.

facing a task transcending in mag
nitude and Importance all other re
corded accomplishments. The is
sues are clearly defined and success
stands pre-eminently assured if the
men of the mines will but apply
their crystallized collective strength
through the time-tried machinery of
their union. They will thereby
demonstrate to the world their con-
fidence in the institution they have
erected.
The forthcoming international
convention will legislate wisely and
well and its mandates must be
obeyed. Our union must be purged
of those traitors and enemies who
would bring confusion and destruc-
ton from within. The siren voices
of those misguided enthusiasts who
utter strange fallacies and would
have us follow after false gods must
not be needed. Caviling must cease
and peace reign within our temple.

America


Since Labor Day one year ago
the social fabric of civilization has
been disturbed by the most colossal
changes in the annals of history.
The spectacular triumph of the al
lied armies upon land and sea ter
minated the terrible conflict of mil
itary forces. 1t also paved the way
for the expansion of intellectual
ideals and gave to the common peO-
pie of the earth new mental con-
cept. Within the confines of our
own nation there is visible mani
festation Of the determination Of
the toilers to take unto themselves
their share Of the fruits of victory.
They seek proper elevation of their
moral and material standards Of liv-
ing and assurance Of equality of op-
portunity. In this work orderly
procedure will be followed. The
trade union organizations of labor
must and will function.
The United Mine Workers OF
America, bespeaking the hopes and
aspirations of its membership will
once again fulfill requirements. BY
reason Of early expiration of wage
agreements in nearly all coal pro-
ducing fields in America, our union

SHOES

Don't get excited about shoe
costs. The press notices TO the eff
feet that $4,000 and up shoes are
in sight, is largely myth. There
always have been $500 shoes, and .
about one person in one hundred
thousand would pay this price.
There always have been $1,000 .
and $1,000 shoes and certain
numbers of people would buy these
shoes - possibly because they
matched a dress" or for some
other equally important CD rea-
son.
There always have been shoes
known as Goodyear Welts" for
dress-up and street wear, retailing
from $500 to $1,000, for the past
ten years. Z. J. Goodyear Welts,
retailing at $500 to $500 before
the War, now retail at $500 to
. $500, showing an advance in the
retail price Of $3.50 to $500 per
pair.
These shoes interest men and
women who like to dress we'll and
have good looking shoes, and can
afford it.
There always have been work
shoes-$2.5O to $4.OO-for hard
work. There always have been
boys and girls shoes at similar
prices. e. J. work shoes, before the
War. retailed at $3.50 to $500.
During the War the same shoe sold
from $3.50 to $500; and since the
War, $500 to $500. The extreme
advance" on the retail price of E. J.
work shoes, in six years, averages
about $500 pair. In the same
time, boys good, strong, serviceable
shoes have advanced from $500 and
$500 to $3.50 and $3.50. We are
talking now about good shoes-not
cinderella slippers but strong
shoes for strong boys and girls and
! Woodworking men.
Now, these are the facts about
the E. j. shoes; and it looks differ
ent than the fiction which is being
so largely handed around the
Country, about "$25.OO shoes"
The above quoted prices, showing
advances which have been necessary
in our shoes, due to increasing costs
(Which everybody is thoroughly ia
miliar With of hides, leather, ma
terials and labor-are intended to
apply on what we know as sta
pies shoes which the work
ers and their families buy, and al
ways have bought. These are the
kind of shoes, and the prices, which
interest the worker and his fam
lily.
The $500 man is a lonesome
individual. There isn't many of
him; and as we make $4,000 pairs
of shoes a day, we would soon sup
ply such people with their footwear,
and then we would have to quit
business, or make shoes for the
average man" and his family, who
comprise the largest percentage of
our population. In other words,
for the "exclusive' man or woman,
who wants to pay, and insists upon
paying, fancy prices, we haven't
any particular use. 1t does not
make any difference what he pays
for shoes.
Don't be talked into paying any
fancy or ridiculous prices for your
footwear. Advances there are, and
advances there will be, legitimate
and necessary; but nothing like the
extravagant statements frequently
made. about $500 shoes" need
give you a moments concern.
And now word of advice. Don't
speculate in shoes. Don't buy any
more than you need, Meaning,
don't hoard shoes, as some people
are doing. The chances are, if you
buy a pair of shoes suitable for
your needs, and take good care of
them, and have them repaired
when they need repairing-keep
