THE NATIONWIDE
FIGHT ON UNIONS

| A nation wide campaign has been
! launched by chambers of commerce,
manufacturers associations and SIM
liar allied organizations to destroy
! trade unionism. This campaign is
designated as an characterization"
movement, but back of it is a deter
mination on the part of large en-
ployers to inaugurate generally the
open shop as the entering wedge
against union solidarity.
Thousands of dollars have been
pledged by New York manufacturers
to finance the fight there, and SINH
lar large contributions are being
made in hundred other cities. The
workers are already at grips with
their enemies in many Pacific Coast
cities, and it is announced by leaders
of the movement that it will be con-
tinued until labor morale has been
broken.
This is but another manifestation
of the purpose of reactionaries and
profiteers to render the public help
less that it may be more easily ex-
plotted. Glutted with unheard of
profits, those who have taken ad-
NdllIdSe VI tlIi olIudClOll olC
determined to keep all they have
gained and to open up new fields for
development.
The coming summer will be criti-
cal not only for organized labor, but
for all labor While the manufac-
turers profess great interest in un-
organized workers, as matter of
fact their only concern is that they
shall be reduced to state of i'm
potency, that they may not be in
position to protest against condi-
tlons that may be dictated by manu-
facturers.
The american idea" which the
manufacturing and commercial or
agnizations are financing in few
words is a scheme to further enslave
and humiliate the workers of the ma
ton. All the high sounding pre-
tensions are intended to feel the pub
lie, which, of course, includes mil
lions of workers. Unless the pro-
ducers determinedly resist all efforts
to destroy the machinery through and
by which labor has painfully and
slowly made it's way up from serf-
dom, the country will shortly be face
to face with situation of the most
alarming potentialities.
Labor has the economic as well as
the political power, if it is but wise
enough to make good use of both.

The SnOhOmish Non
Partisan League

The Snohomish County Non-Par-
tisan League met in the Everett La
Dor Temple, Monday, June 7, with a
goodly representation of farmers
from all over the county.
delegates, E. L. Morgan, A. G. lei
bell and Ed Stevens, to attend the
Second Annual Convention of the
Brotherhood of Railway Carmen of
America, now meeting in the Everett
Labor Temple.
w. B. Sathertwaite of the Locksloy
precinct was elected treasurer of the
County N P. L., in place of w. H.
Klock who resigned.
John F. Mulligan, who is in the
west part of the state filling some of
J. L. Freemans dates, gave a short
splendid talk to the convention. He
stated in part that "the world is
beginning to know that the Non-par-
tisan League stands for right, JUS
tice and fair dealing. The land is
the foundation upon which the well
fare, destiny and progress of the
world is based, and the land ques-
tion will never be settled until it is
settled right" He closed with an
appeal in the name of all that is
right, fair, and just, to lay aside
all petty jealousies and go into the
campaign this fall like the old heroes
of the Revolution, to bring back the
government of the people, for the
people and by the people; to bring
back the Declaration of Independ-
erce; to bring back free speech, free
press and free assemblage. He
stated that the consolidation of the
Workers and Farmers will take away
the land and government from the
profiteers and give it back to the
people who toll, with hand and brain.
The Convention passed the follow
ing. resolution. That the Non-Partisan
League of Snohomish County in reg
ular meeting assembled, request and
demand the release of all political
prisoners.
The meeting adjourned to convene
again Saturday, June 10, at 10 A. NJ.
in the Labor Temple.

Conscious of
Human Rights

In addressing meeting of the
American Society of Mechanical En-
gineers, of which he is president, in
New York last month, F. J. Miller
said:
There is good deal of loose talk
about decreased production. l am
not so sure that production has de-
creased generally; in some plants
the, productivity of the workers has
increased. 1t depends very much
upon how you treat the men, and
also very much upon how well the
administrative functions of an es-
tablishment are carried on. The
question is: Does the management
inspire the men to do their best ?
When the management fails to lead
or to inspire, it is easy to blame
our troubles on the wicked work
ers.'
Management must realize that
the worker has grown conscious of
his human rights and that he de-
mands large share in the fruits
of civilization. The worker does not
want shower baths in the factory;
he wants a shower bath in his
home. He wants good wages so
that he may have his own home
supplied with the conveniences and
comforts of modern civilization. And
he wants leisure to enjoy what good
things, material and spiritual, life
has to offer u.s."

Railway Garments
Convention Meets

The Railway Garments convention
assembled in the Labor Temple last
Monday morning. The main busi-
ness of the convention was the cleo
tion of officers of the Joint Pro-
tective Board of the Great Northern
system. This was done Tuesday by
the unanimous election of the follow
ing officers:
John T. Pewter of Everett, General
Chairman; G. E. w. Nelson of st.
Paul, Vice-Chairman; c. d. Curry,
of Spokane, Secretary-Treasurer;
Executive Boarded Boyle, of White
Fish, Montana; B. Beak of Great
Falls, Montana; John Mcclure of
Havre, Montana; Frank M. Miller of
Tracy, Montana. All were elected
for a term of two years.
P. B. Tyler, local representative,
was nominated for vice-chairman, but
declined.
Bro. Tyler was discharged from
the local shop force at Delta for in
sisting upon sanitary conditions for
his fellow workmen. Beside his in
herent right to protest against un-
sanitary conditions he was the local
grievance man and only did his Off
cial duty in insisting that the COM
pany keep its agreement with the
carmen.
The convention demanded his rein
statement but at last accounts this
had not been done and a Garments
strike was threatened.
The convention transacted other
business of the union.

Community Center
and War Memorial

Preparations for the coming drive
to secure funds for the erection of
a Community Center and War Mem
row night, June II, the opening
banquet will be hid in st. Anne's
Hall, Corner Hoyt Avenue and 25th
Street.
On the eve of the great campaign
of the Knights of Columbus for their
$150,000 Community Center and War
Memorial the outlook promises to
go over the top with bang. The
headquarters in the Hewitt block is
the busiest place in the city these
days, everyone being on tip-toe and
enthusiasm at high pitch.
Juvenile teams have been organ
lied, ladies' teams and mems teams
are busy. The drive has been in
force throughout the county for the
past ten days, and will close on the
night of the banquet, June 18th, and
Immediately the drive in the city
proper will begin. The returns from
the county have been very gratifying,
many places coming across 1000
strong. The little village of Tye,
way up in the mountains donating
over 81 900 and that with only five
Catholics in the town. The general
trend throughout the county stamps
the drive as being considered abso-
lutely non-secterian.
The opening banquet for the city
drive will be held in st. AIMS hall,
corner of Hoyt Avenue and Twenty
fifth street, next Saturday evening
at $3.50 o'clock at which prominent
out-of town speakers will be present,
and an interesting programme will
be presented. Immediately upon the
close of the banquet the contest for
the mems and women's beautiful
prize loving cups will start, and will
continue until midnight, June 21st,
when the winning team will be an
exhibit in the show windows of
Batchelder & CornePs store on Hew
lit avenue. On these cups will be
engraved the names of those compos-
ing the winning teams, and will
then be placed on permanent exhibit
in the new memorial building, upon
it's completion, to be a part of the
lasting living memorial so long as
the building stands.
The boys went "across" for you,
now come "across" for them, for
this is to be a true war memorial in
every respect, dedicated to every SER
vice man in Snohomish county. Not
alone this, but here in this building
it is proposed to establish pre-
paratory school, free in every re-
spect, both as to tuition and books,
for every ex-service man, regardless
of race or creed, that they may pre-
pare themselves for further instruc-
tion in higher institutions, where
also, their way will be paid by the
Knights of Columbus. This is all
but part of the national scheme of
education the Knights are putting
through, throughout the entire coun-
try. This, and many other reasons,
is why the citizens of this commun-
ity are asked to give literally to a
cause that is doubly worthy. Can
any man deny subscription for such
war memorial? Help the boys
who helped preserve our government
and our liberties.

Service Laundry
Stock Advances to
$62.5O Per Share

The Laundry Service Company had
intended to raise the price of stock
to $62.50 per share on June 1st, but
deferred the date to July 1st in de-
ference to present stockholders and
intending investors.
Since taking the business over on
March 1st, the volume has material
ly increased. The total for March,
April and May, 1919, was $13,957.65,
and the total for the three CORE
spending months in 1920, was &c.,
425.77, which gives net increase of
$2,468.12 over last lear. This gives
the company an average increase of
$822.70 per month. The company is
continually adding new customers,
which proves it's plans and princi-
plies are bound to result in a busi-
ness of some $2,500.00 per week. The
increase for 1920 over last year
should exceed $20,000.00.
The results thus far attained fur
ther proves that the fundamental
principles of sound business are not
lacking in this enterprise. The COM
pany has not encouraged large sub
scriptions, and does not now accept
subscriptions for more than twenty
shares. This limitation naturally
! compels the finding of large num-
ber of subscribers, and in doing so
permanent success is established.
The principle factors to be consid-
cred when making an INVESTMENT
are conditions that cause business to
fluctuate. In some lines, a business
may be extremely profitable today,
but within a period of thirty to sixty
days, climatic or business depression
may eliminate all profit, but when
dealing in an essential of the entire
community, no such fluctuation in
earnings can be sighted. Therefore
the fundamental principles of this
business are sound, and with the two,
combined with large number of in
terested stockholders, there can be
no question as to the profit. We
are free from the dominating influ-
ence of great institutions; we do a
cash business, turning in a profit
So times a year, and as the money
you have invested is now represented
by tangible assets, there is no chance
for loss.
The total number of subscribers at
this time is nearing the 800 Mark,
and the financial conditions of the
Company is improving day by day.
Remember your Voting Trust Ger
tificate-bring your stock certificate,
and last, but not least, don't fail to
visit your plant and see for yourself
what is doing there.

The j. c. Penny Co.'S Store, at
the corner of Colby avenue and Wall
street, has been remodeled, adding
much to its appearance and capacity,
A large balcony has been built in the
rear of the store, where Women's

moved to new balcony in front
The shelving running almost the
entire length, through the center of
