LABOR DAY WILL Be
OBSERVED IN STATE

Plans have been worked out for the
celebration Of Labor Day in fitting
style in practically every section OF
the state. At Seattle the committee
in charge has arranged for field day
at Woodland park and a dance in the
evening, at the Armory, the proceeds
of which will go to paying off the
mortgage on Mother Ryther Home.
At Bellingham arrangements have
been completed for monster cele-
bration and many hundreds of visitors
are planning to visit that city from
Vancouver and Victoria, B. c.. Ever
EFT is completing details for its cele-
bration. Olympia is planning a COM
munity celebration for all Of Thurs
ton county, with all civic organfza-
tions joining with labor in the CON-
munity celebration. A general COM
mittee, representative of all civic az
well as labor organizations, is in
charge of the preparation, C. o. Dad
Young will speak from the pulpit Of
one Of the largest churches of Olym-
pia Sunday night and will be the
principal speaker the following day al
the celebration. 1t viii be the biggest
.celebration ever staged at Olympia.
Aberdeen Is also planning to cele-
brate In proper style. Walla Walla
is arranging a celebration on much
the same order as that being staged
at Olympia and has asked the State
Federation to try and obtain a good
speaker for them. Auburn has been
working for several weeks on plans
for its celebration, which is the most
{ elaborate ever staged at Auburn
Charles (FightinO Heighton, progress
sive republican member of the last
legislature, has been obtained as the
speaker of the day.
Spokane has arranged for a monster
picnic and an elaborate program OF
field sports. Kelso, which has been
developing a strong labor movement
in the last year, has arranged an elab-
crate program of sports, boxing bouts,
ct eetera. President Short of the
State Federation Of Labor will be the
principal speaker The Miners at
Roslyn are planning a big celebration
and, thru the Federation, were able
to obtain the consent Of Mayor E. J..

munities too numerous to mention are
also planning celebrations.

WORKERS
POSTPONE MEETING
AND HAVE PICNIC

Laundry Workers local No. 147 de-
cided to postpone their regular meet
ing last Thursday evening and held
a picnic at Grays HRrbor City instead
so Immediately after 5 o'clock four
carloads of said L. WIS, two boxes OF
provisions and a 3O-pound watermelon
started for the deserted city. On ar
rival, most of the bunch produced
bathing costumes and took to the
briny, each one in would call to the
ones on the bank "C-c-c-come on
i-i-in the wa-water's f-f-fine."
After the swim everyone gathered
around the campfire and had a great
time keeping the coffee pot from tip
ping over before 1t got a chance to
boil, and right here let me say-some
bookkeepers can make coffee and
some women can make good fires.
The committee on eats did their best
and the consumers did the same.
Part OF the program was a dismal
failure. however. The committee on
entertainment left part OF the Hawaii
an dancers costume at home, and the
perfectly good music furnished by
Ross Hanna went to waste.
In some way the big watermelon got
cracked, the heavyweights in the
crowd played handball with 1t for
while and later one of the gang was
discovered sitting on 1t, but It was a
fine melon at that.
After the dancing started someone
discovered a fox-trotter with a very
peculiar shape and after much ques-
tioning he finally admitted he had
dressed In such a hurry after the
backward.
The crowd started for home at 10
o'clock. tired, but voting the evening
jolly one and calling for return
in the near future.

CLERKS
TO ORGANIZE LOCAL

For the past thirty days there has
been more or less inclination on the
part Of the Clerks employed In the
stores of Aberdeen to organize. The
Central Council has been working on
this move and will lend all the assist.
ance possible. The main motive for
organizing is that a number of the
stores are keeping open after o'clock
Saturday evenings. Some of the pro-
prietors have been asked to quit this
practice and have complied with the
request. Others closing at now IA
vor the organization of the clerks
The Central Council has delayed &C.
tive participation in organizing the
clerks until after Labor day because
30 many members are busy on the
celebration.
One Of the stores that was asked
to close at 6 o'clock Saturday, and
complied with the request, was the
Piggy Wiggly, and the following let
ter was received by the Central Coun-
Gil last meeting from that firm:

1t is possible for us to be.

HIGH WAGES INSURE
BETTER BUSINESS
Frank Statement on Industrial and
Farm Conditions in Wall
Street Magazine.

The resentment and bitterness o4
the farmer-labor group has its foun-
dation deep in economic conditions
and it will not do at this time to re
ply to them with soft words" writes
Mr.. Geo. M. Branting in a special
article in the Wall Street Magazine
Their mutual dependence is throwing
them together and 1T is altogether
likely" he says, that little by little
they will continue to work for theii
mutual advantage"
These excerpts are contained In a
bulletin issued by the National Cath
olic Welfare Council Department OF
Social Action.
Speaking of labor's position and the
causes of its present discomfort he
says: "A great deal of mischief has
been created. by the hypothesis that
high wages are ruinous to the en-
ploying classes. AS a matter of fact
a liberal economic viewpoint will in
dicate that the higher the wages, the
greater the spending power and the
more firmly secured our economic po-
sion. The safeguard OF the nation
does not consist Of holding wages

to agree and to make a public report
before the renewal date"
After such report, however, either
party is still free to take such an
Attitue as will result in a strike II
It so desires. 1t is the commission,
view that in such event responsible
lty for the strike will be clear.
1T is believed. says the report.
that such process will have a So
bering influence that will make very
strongly for enforcing responsibility
to the public among representatives
Of both the operators and of the un-
ion. Until measures for holding both
sides to their public responsibilities
have been exhausted 1t will be ex.
tremely unwise for the public to en-
bark on more far-reaching measures
OF regulation of labor relations"
Conditions Of Wage Contract.
Among other conditions that the
commission believes should be writ
ten into the wage contract are:
A continuing umpire or an assist
ant to sit with the Cancellation board
at all its meetings, that disputes may
be promptly settled.
Operators to appoint labor commits
siOners who shall always be in touch
With union leaders, that a sound ap-
p1Oaeh to labor problems may be de-
velOped.

would agree to abide by today, fur

Every dispute must be decided with

agreements, to be worked out by

COUNCIL MEETING
CALLED AUGUST 27
Seattle Council Charter Revocation
Possibly Considered.

The Executive Council OF the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor is meeting
August q and will have, among 9TH
er thinsg. before it, the question OF
whether or not the charter OF the Sc
attic Central Labor Council will be
revoked. 1t is about two months since
the last letters were written between
the Seattle Council and A. F. of l..
headquarters on the subject. and the
last word published on the subject
was to the effect that the letters of
the Seattle Council would be referred
to the executive council of the parent
body for final disposition. It was not
until recently that any information
was obtained as to when the council
would meet, and 1t is expected that
the matter will be settled definitely
either one way or the other at the
coming meeting

MORE LOCAL UNIONS

Brotherhood OF Carpenters is putting

)pecially among the pile drivers, who
come under the Jurisdiction OF the
Brotherhood OF Carpenters. He in
stalled local of pile drivers at Aber-
deem and one at Olympia and on last
Saturday night held an open meeting
at Everett that was well attended.
The pile drivers have retained their
charter at Everett, but have allowed
the membership OF their organization
to lag in recent years. Organizer Car
eron is spending several days at Ever

rolling them in the organization.
The president Of the State Fedora

BUILDERS BANQUET
IS WELL ATTENDED;
OFFICIALS SPEAK

At a real ''get-together," "get-ao-
quainted" banquet in Knights of Pyth,
las hall Wednesday night, Carpenters
Local No. 317 as hosts, showed they
still possess the ability to Go big
things in large way.
The long banquet tables, seating
150 carpenters and their friends, re-
minded oldtimers of some of the IA
nous spreads of war times, when
Locals SS3 (Carpenters) and 1910
tShipwrights) had many hundreds in
their membership.
The influx of new craftsmen to ham
die the Harbor building work has
again enlarged the membership Of Lo-
cal 317, formed at the close Of the
war work from above locals, SS3 and
1910, until an occasion such as Wed
nesday night to promote acquaintance
seemed imperative.
Members Of the Culinary Workers
ably served the "eats.' With the
clearing of the tables Toastmaster
Clark opened the program with q few
remarks embracing union experience
up to 20 years ago, and introduced
dad" Young, A. F. Of L. organizer
for this district, who went back an
other 20 years, recalling the begin
nings Of trade organizations-espec-
tally the carpenters-for whom he
said he had an especial fondness and
a delight In addressing as his ances-
tors and relatives followed this craft.
An appeal for better support of the
State Council Of Carpenters was well
put by its president, Leo F. Flynn.
One of the gratifying signs Of the
wider and better understanding OF the
trade movement was the presence on
the program of A. q. Hunt, local COM
mander Of the American Legion. The
aims of the A. F. Of L. and the Le-
gion are in large part similar, said
Mr.. Hunt. They are backing the same
welfare measures and vitality inter-
ested in the workers problems for the
bulk OF its membership is OF the Ia
boring class.

ed two of his poems.
