speak for the new chairman the
hearty cooperation of all delegates.
The trustees were instructed to pro-
cure for the Assembly room new
lights and have them installed as soon
as possible.
A number of good talks were in
dulged in and enjoyed by all. Those
members that were absent certainly
missed a treat as there were quite a
few good thoughts brought out,
thoughts that will make us think.
No further business the Assembly
adjourned to meet again on January

will be installed. Here is for happy

WHAT COOPERATION HAS DONE

The Trades Union Savings and
Loan Association, Seattle, now occu-
pies the second place in amount of
receipts and disbursements among
such organizations in the state of
Washington, according to the annual
report covering savings and loan as
sociations recently issued from the
office of State Auditor G. w. Clausen
at Olympia.
The enviable position has been
gained in 16 months, the Trades
Union Savings & Loan Association
having opened it's doors March 1, 1919
During the year covered in the
report the Trades Union had receipts
and disbursements amounting to $3,-
574,91902, an amount exceeded by
but one other similar institution, the
Puget Sound Savings & Loan, which
received and disbursed $6,958, 1898
So rapidly has the institution grown
that its first quarters were outgrown
last fall and the bank moved into
larger quarters. At the present time
an effort is being made to increase
the assets of the association to ST.
100000, sum which, officers of the
firm assert, will be reached before the
business passes it's second birthday
anniversary.

Christmas Cheer For All

The unfortunates who were nn-
able to fittingly observe Christmas
were willingly taken care of this year
by many charitable institutions and
citizens of the city, among whom the
following took a prominent part: The
Central Christmas Committee, assist
ed by the Boy Scouts, Newsboys' AS
sociation, Salvation Army, Elks and
Kiwanis Club. The inmates of the
Childrens Home were given a splendid
time and in the afternoon were taken
to the Alhambra Theatre by Manager
Fenberg in special Ohio Electric
car, the company donating half the
transportation. Excellent dinners
were also furnished the unfortunates
in the city prison, county Jail and
county infirmary. The children of the
North Fourth street school provided
dinners for ten needy families, and the
A B c girls of the high school took
care of two families; while the girls
of the Kresge store donated fifty
pounds of candy and two crates of
oranges to the Central Christmas
Committee.

LABOR UNIONISM

"Had it not been for trade union
ism," says DR.. J. B. Warbasse in Co.
operation, "the workers today would
be laboring fourteen hours day.
They would be receiving wages just
sufficient to maintain an animal ex-
istence. The workers would constl-
tute a great class, denied schooling,
and the common decencies Of life.
"We have to thank unionism," he
continues, "for saving humanity from
abject slavery" The brave men who
organized unions a century ago often
went to prison for it. England per-
secuted and deported the best men in
the kingdom. This criminal class"
was sent to Australia and New Zea-
land because they were "agitators," "
but they soon built up a civilization
which astonished this world.
Zone thing labor must realize"
says DIR. Warbasse. "The forces which
desire profits out Of the toll of the
workers are the forces which control
the means of expression and publicity.
"Trade unionism gave labor it's first
lesson in the approaches to democracy
in industry. But autocracy in indus
try still exists and succeeds in max
ing labor believe that democracy in
industry is wrong. And we now
actually witness the spectacle of labor
men and labor organizations COM
promising with the enemies of labor
to check the onward movement to-
wards industrial democracy, which
has now gained such significant force.
"Never was there a time since
unionism began when the solidarity
of labor was more necessary than
now. Never was it more important
for labor to be on it's guard lest it
be beguiled into trusting its enemies
and neglecting it's friends. Co-opera-
ton needs the aid of labor with all
it's strength; labor needs cooperation
still more urgently; but labor loses
its strength when it ignores the fun
damental fact that the worker and
not the capitalist should rule the
world"

Birthday Celebration

Prof. VIM. C. Schmidt, the talented
musician at the Grand theatre, assist
ed by a number of relatives and
friends, appropriately celebrated his
58th birthday at his home on South
Second street last Sunday, and it goes
without saying that most enjoyable
time was had. Notwithstanding the
fact that Prof. Schmidt is placed by
some in the "aged" class, he is still
as spry as a kitten and as frisky as
a colt, and no one in the city can pro-
duce such strains of melody from the
new $4,000 organ at the Grand as can
our old friend Bro. Schmidt.
