RED CROSS MAGAZINE

Very few publications seem to
have survived the war times as we'll
as The Red. Cross Magazine, a
monthly publication owned by the
American Red Cross. The October
number Is particularly attractive
and features a story of our great
Northwest by Anna Shannon Mon
roe, illustrated by Charles Sarka,
who knows this country as he knows
his art. Hardly less interesting is
an article, Theodore Roosevelt, the
Father" by Herman Hagedorn. A
number of interesting photographs
of the great American in his family
life are feature of this article, and
one may recognize Theodore, Jr.,
and Kermit, who, as a flyer, gave
his life in the World War.
Ellis Parker Butler, DR.. Frank
Crane, Frank Ward O'Malley, and
Walter Pritchard Eaton are but a
few of the we'll known names in the
magazine world who contributed to
the October number. Such ilhstra-
tors as James Montgomery Flagg,
]. E. Allen an6 Maginal Wright En-
right have contributed DECORATIONS.
One expects an atmosphere of TO-
dine and bandages in the Red Cross
Magazine, and 1t is a relief to find
instead good fiction and interesting
special articles.

LET GOODS ROT TO
KEEP PRICES Up

A whole carload of foodstuffs is
permitted to rot on Seattle's water
front almost daily, according to
statements by waterfront observers
Saturday.
Ragged children and men with
pushcarts were busy at work Fri
day night cleaning up the last car
load Of warermelons which had
been left to spou. The Union Rec
ord told Thursday how a shipment
Of honey-dew melons had been
permitted to rot.
That the watermelons were not
unfit for human consumption is
made plain by the fact that passers-
by, including number of police
men and deputy sheriffs, who were
told that the shipment was no
good" and would not be placed
on the market, took advantage of
an offer to help themselves. 1t did
not take long for the shipment TO
disappear.

RAILROAD UNIONS
AFFILIATING WITH
STATE FEDERATION

The Railroad Section of the Spo-
kane Sectional Trades Council, rep
resenting all of the railroad crafts,
has endorsed the plan of bringing
all of their locals into direct affilia-
tion with the State Federation of
Labor.
President Short addressed at
length the section at its last meet
ing and was given a warm recep-
ton. He has been addressing one
or more locals every night during
his weeks stay in Spokane, includ-
ing a mass meeting at the car shops
at Hillyard, Thursday afternoon,
and one at the n. P. shops at noon
Friday.
The Railroad organizations are
expressing their desire for affilia-
tion with the Federation just as
warmly as the Federation has shown
a desire to bring them in. Their
affiliation will be a great asset to
the general movement of the State.
They are an intelligent and con-
structively aggressive group that
know what they want and know
how to get it.
A campaign throughout the State
for the purpose of securing affilia-
tion everywhere is being conducted.
President Short will spend some
time at Yakima on his return trip,
in connection with organization
work there.
