Women of the State are urged
by the Triple Alliance to request all
members of the Legislature to vol
unteer their services free of charge
to the State for a special session OF

states to extend its women the

of the Governor, reported in news
dispatches from Yakima recently. to
the effect that his mind is chang

session is contemplated this win

upon the women to force the issue.

Good Talk on Cooperation
Mrs. Saunders, of Seattle, was
present and made a short but in
teresting and instructive talk on
cooperation. She used as an illus
tration of the growth of co-opera-
tion how, through the spirit Of CO.
operation, an audience of 1000 peo-
pie of all shades of opinion, were
brought together with a common
purpose. Seattle has seven CO.
operative stores, all doing a thriv-
ing business. The speaker said the
cooperative movement in Seattle
had now arrived at that point
where a wholesale establishment
was necessary to supply the wants
of the retail stores, and this whole
sale house will soon be started,
with nothing but a successful flu
ture to look forward TO.
Mrs. Saunders said the working
people had always been timid
about handling dry goods, and that
timidity could be overcome by Wis
iting a store in Seattle where the
desirable methods of manufacturer
direct to the consumer was in
practice.
She touched upon the wonderful
growth and magnitude of the CO.
operative movement in Great Brit

Sanction by the International
Union of Printing Pressmen and AS
sistants for the strike of job press
men and assistants in Seattle, and
determination of the lacol Typo
graphical Union to stand behind it's
members in their refusal to set up
unfair copy in the struck shops,
were developments in the job print

In regular session Sunday after
noon the local Typographical Union
voted to uphold its members in
their refusal to handle unfair copy.
The union started paying strike
benefits to its lockedout members
Monday morning. This action was
taken despite the fact that en-
ploying printers are dickering with
officials of the International Typo
graphical Union in an attempt to
get the International to order the
printers back to work.
