ter of building a memorial for the
boys.
Some months ago the Military Sis
terhood planned to begin campaign
to raise funds for the purpose of erect
ing a memorial of some sort for the
soldiers, but decided to wait to see if
the legislature was going to make an
appropriation for a building. They
now are ready to Cooperate in every
way possible with Captain MacLean
and the committee in raising funds for
the proposed building. Being the wo-

the matter very much at heart, and

Ptomaine Poisoning.

Dawson, Yukon Territory, June A.
Twelve prominent northerners are
dead and twenty-four others are Sc
riously sick as a result of ptomaine
poisoning, following a dinner at the
Yukon Gold company's Hunter Creek
plant on May %. Practically all the
food was canned goods, so it has been
impossible to trace the poisoning.
A rare type of germ, termed DO
titus has been found in bacteriolog-
ical examination of the victims blood.
The dead include John Grant, for

''The Master Builders Association feels that
it cannot take the responsibility of granting an
increase which we do not believe is justified,
and which we are satisfied would have disas-
trous effect upon the growth of the city and
would cause another sharp increase in the cost
of living"
Following this declaration, the Master Build
ers made no effort to continue work on the
struck jobs, hoping that negotiations would lead
the unions, the adjustment of the demands and
permanent peace and progress in the building
industry.
After two weeks Of idleness and delay, the
unions agreed to take referendum vote on
the adoption of the agreement as basis of set
Element of the strike. The result did not become
known to the Master Builders until September
20, when they were informed that the majority
vote in the unions had been against the adoption
of the agreement, meaning continuation of the
strike.
Immediately the Master Builders decided to
resume operations with any men they could Sc
cure. In statement, the association said:
1--WE can no longer remain passive party to
the paralysis Of building operations at time
when Seattle is losing population by the hun
tons; when Seattle is losing industries which

because of the need of more buildings to care

On September End carpenters, plasterers, &C.
ment finshers, hod carriers and plasterers' help
ers and building aborers went on strike for in
creases in wages ranging from 119o to 80 1870.
These workers went out in spite of the fact
that increases had been granted at their de-
mand last May, with the understanding that an
adjustment board would be created by agree
ment between the Master Builders and the
unions to fix future wage scales without any
interruption in building.
They struck in spite of the fact that the
Master Builders urged that they remain at work
and that their demands be passed upon by the
adjustment board, as provided by the tentative
agreement which had been drawn up by repre-
sentatives of labor employers and the public,
and had been definitely ratified by the Master
Builders Association. In their desire for peace
and uninterrupted work, the master builders
even went beyond the terms of the tentative
agreement and offered to make retroactive any
increase of wages awarded by the adjustment
board.
They struck in spite of the fact that they
were receiving wages considerably higher than
those paid in any other leading city of the
United States.
They struck in spite of the fact that every
day of delay in the building industry meant the
loss of population, business, employment and
prosperity to Seattle; meant further increase
of rents and decrease of income to the public
at large.
The position of the Master Builders Associa-
ton in refusing to grant the increase demanded
was defined by Charles w. CarkeelSy president
of the association, in published statement on
August a. as follows:
The Associated Industries of Seattle was orga
cutivating better relations between employers a
to secure for the workers the best possible wag
tons by mutual agreement between employers a
about peace, progress and production in industr
concerned.

Work was resumed gradually, and the report
of the association is that $3.50 of their jobs are
now under way with full crews
Stirred by the resumption of work with union
and non-union men, the Building Trades Coun-
Gil appointed a committee to confer with the
Master Builders. The employers again sug-
gested arbitration. The union committee stated
that the wage demands must be granted before
they would consent to any arbitration.
Within the past week the Master Builders
requested that the unions hold another referen-
durn on the tentative agreement which provided
for arbitration under closed shop conditions.
The Building Trades Council refused to order
the referendum
On October 10 the Master Builders Associa-
ton served an ultimatum on the Building
Trades Council that the strikers must return TO
work by 10 a. m. Monday, October Ii, or the
association would break off all negotiations
with the Building Trades Council.
The Building Trades Council replied that it
found it impossible to meet the demand to re-
turn to work principally because non-union
workmen are now on many of the association
jobs.
At 10 a. m. Monday, October Is, the jobs
controlled by the Master Builders went on the

1t Is very different, isn't it?
In fact, my correspondent has
called our attention to two wholly
opposed systems of education for
girls. 1t then becomes a question
OF which one prefers.
For myself, I'll admit that 1
prefer the American way. prefer
that girls should be taught useful
occupations for their own sake.
What Of American Wives!
Perhaps, under our system, every
young husband isn't as comforta-
bic physically as II the girl he mar
ried had been forced to study the
question Of mems convenience all
her life. But | believe he has, in
the real sense, a better wife. 4
wife who has learned to respect
herself, to think for herself, to act
for herself. A wife who wishes
not merely to be a patient sewer
on Of masculine buttons, a darner
OF masculine socks, preparer of
masculine dinners, but to live a
big, active, far-reaching life of her
own-to be a capable mother, a
useful citizen, a follower also. per-
haps, Of some profession or other
career.
Perhaps this kind of wife won't
ever have time to sew on her hus-
bands buttons. In that case she
will have the intelligence and re-
sourcefulness to hire this done.
Unless-and this is, Of course. a
very radical suggestion-he may
have learned to sew them on him
sell.
Do you know any reason why he
shouldn't? Is there anything in
the structure of a boys hand that
makes it impossible for him to hold
a needle or direct its progress
through the center of a button?
We know very we'll that there is
not.
Therefore a boy whose wise
mother had taught him to sew ON
his own buttons, as a matter of
course, won't later on make such
heavy demands on his bride and
their life together won't be, on that
account at least, a nightmare"
For American girl5-and they
do exist, here and there-who are
shamefully ignorant Of all useful
occupations, | have no defense to
offer.
But insist that the greater
number of American girls. b the
best sense, make good wives"

Beatrice Fairfax Writes the Problems Pitfalls the War Workers
Especially for Washington Women
GHO American girls make
good wives? ?" The
IL ,,,,o4;o,, - oOitafinp

HTO American girls make
good wives ?" The
question is agitating
Washington, now that the troops
are returning and many of them
with foreign wives.
tJIally the answer comes in
4 chorus of alternatives.
But isn't it worth while to stoI
and think what VIC mean by a good
wife," Different points of view
prevail in regard to this really
very serious question. And one of
these points Of view is forcibly ex-
pressed by a young man who has
just written me 4 letter of protest.
Let me quote it:
81 am young, and Z foreigner"
he tells me. "And ] often notice
that in the evening paper a young
lady asks you for advice about
marrying some foreign young
man.
"Miss Fairfax, for humanity's
sake, l wish you would try to
show the American young ladies
that it is a very foolish act to
marry a foreigner. The foreign
young man is used to see his own
sisters at home learning how to
take care of mems clothes (that is,
repair them and sew on buttons)
and also learning to cook. There
fore, when a foreign young man
asks an American girl to marry
him he thinks she will be able to
make = comfortable home. But
after three weeks of married life
he discovers that she knows alb
solutely nothing and their married
life becomes a nightmare for
both, as l have often seen.
"Now, please do not think that
l am by any means trying to be-
little American girls, but l wish
to bring this to their very hearts.
While | am a foreigner, my blood
is for America, and so is my
citizenship"
Are Our Husbands ButtOnless?
Now this young man, who is so
shocked and indignant at the but
tonlessness Of the young Ameri-
can wife's work basket, and who
traces to this such tragic conse-
quences. has some facts on his
side.
1t is, of course, quite true that
the European girl is trained to be
a good wife" in a sense that no
American girl is. No house
wifely art is omittco from her
education. A thorough knowledge

unwilling to apply her skill for her
young husbands benefit.
WiTes-and Nothing Else.
Still-there is q difference. Let
me put in into words.
The European girl is taught to
sew on buttons so that she will be
useful to the man she marries, so
that he will find her a satisfae-
tory seamstress and won't be able
to complain Of her.
The American girl learns the
use of the needle because it is a
practical, to some degree an es-
sential, accomplishment. She knows
that she will need to sew on her
own buttons and she hopes to be a
generally useful person in the
world. When she marries, her
husband is entitled to profit by
any skill she has.
Also, the European girl is
taught to cook in order that her
husband may some day be we'll
fed. She is carefully prepared to
be some mans cook-his servant,
in fact.
The American girl is taught to
cook because the preparation Of
food is something that every wom-
an should understand She isn't
taught the multiplication tables in
order that she may some day re-
cite them to a husband who wasn't
taught seven times seven. Like
wise, she isn't taught combinations
of eggs and milk just to please the
palate of some mon she has never
seen.
