ROTAR|ANS PLEASED
WITH LABOR SPEECH
Express View That They Would Like
To Hear More Of the Same
Sort.

Two weeks ago President Short Of
the State Federation OF Labor ad-
dressed the Rotary Club in the city
OF Everett and that his address was

bers of that organization is vOuched
for by this excerpt from "The Rotary
Log" their official sheet:
"TNhe main address OF the day was
delivered by w. M. Short, state presi-
dent Of the Washington Federation OF
Labor. It was a clear-cut, forceable
presentation of the need for mutual
understanding and cooperation be-
tween the men from every walk or
life Mr.. Short believes that real
progress can only come about by the
wages being kept at the proper level.
"When this is done every legitimate
channel Of human effore carries a
larger stream Of worthy enterprise and
all are enriched thereby. He spoke
OF the splendid cooperation now in ef-
feet at Olympia and Centraha be-
tween labor and such organizations as
Rotary, the Chamber Of Commerce,
the Kiwanis and other clubs. Ever
ett's Rotarians were quite enthusiastic
in their reception of the address.
Let's have more OF the same sort.
When the forces of city get together
and come to know one another's prob
lems. the way is paved for real pro-
gress."
Isloatton, the failure Of businessmen
and labor to mix has probably caus-
ed more trouble and Misunderstanding
than anything else. Let us get to-
gether and listen to the other fellows
problems and solve his and ours too
by cooperation and mutual under
standing. We must work for each
others benefit as legislation that ben
efits only group OF individuals is a
detriment and not a benefit to society.
When all forces in a community pull
together-it can truly be said that
that community is progressing. Shorts
