COUNTY REPRESENTED
AT ABERDEEN SOCIAL
Practically Every Local Union Has
Representative Present

The entertainment put on by the
Aberdeen Central Labor council last
Friday to which the officials of the
Montesano locals and the Hoquiam
Central Trades and Labor council as
well as the executive boards of the
Aberdeen locals were extended an in
vitation was well attended and en-
joyed by all present. Practically all
organizations on the Harbor were
represented with the exception of the
Painters and Pile Drivers, who had
called special meetings for that eve
ming, the business to come before
these meetings was of such an urgent
nature that it could not be postponed
This was the first opportunity that
the Aberdeen and Hoquiam unionists
had to meet the representatives of
the newly organized locals at Monte
sano. The officials from the Elma
local of carpenters failed to appear.
The Montesano men were greeted
with open arms and good viii feel
ing established which will aid greatly
in cementing the movement of the
county. The Montesano unionists re-
port that some of the business men
of that city look upon organized labor
with mistrust. To alloy this feeling,
an open meeting will be held in the
near future to which the business
men will be extended special invi-
tation. It is feared that the Monte
sano people are not familiar with the
aims and objects Of organized labor
because of the reason that no organ
izations existed in that city until re-
Gently, they have had no occasion to
come in contact with unions, and do
not now understand them. -
Speakers who know their subject
and are we'll versed in the trade union
movement will be secured for this
meeting, who will attempt to prove
that the labor movement pursues a
constructive policy and that it is a
great asset to every community.
The desire has been expressed to
have either President Short or C. o.
Young, or both Of these able speakers
address the meeting.
Both the HOquiain and Montesano
representatives delivered short adj
dresses which were well received.
The president of the Aberdeen
council, w. L. Brackinreed, presided
and handled the chair in his usual
masterful manner.
The committee on entertainments
consisted of Mrs. King and Mrs. Can
field, and Messrs. Blake, Mead and
Garfield, prepared a very appetising
spread which was served just before
adjournment, the homemade cakes
baked by the lady delegates were
especially welcomed by the Bakery
Workers delegates. The ladies had
surmised that this would be the case
and baked a bountiful supply to sat
isfy their wonderful appetite.
The Hoquiam Central Trades and
Labor council was represented by
President Kaxel land Vice President
Speigle, and the Montesano locals by
H. C. Williams, Lawrence, R. w. Jal
cobs and E. Oliver.
The Montesano locals have already
affiliated with the State Federation
and expect to affiliate with the Aber-
deem Central council in the near fu-
ture.

in for bright hues. The new high

The Dress
The silhouette remains long,
straight, with low waist or no waist
at all. Occasionally belts are being
shown, either encrusted into the
dress, with the waist line indicated
at one or two inches below the hips,
or in leather in the form of very mar
row dog collar belts. This style is
confined chiefly to sports costumes
and tailored dresses. Some half-belt
effects are shown, that is to say, they
have belts running from either side

farm Bursau-T Tobacco DrIvs

For IFS years until the Maryland
Tobacco Growers Association was
formed the average price OF sobaeco
was only 5 cents pound. The Asso-
citation has already raised the average
10 "a cents, obtained last year.
The Association has given good,
honest service and made prompt re-
turns, yet tobacco growers so far neg
lected their own interests as to ship
last year only 81 per cent OF the tObac-
co TO the Association.
That amount will ouly stabilize the
market-not control il; IS per cent
means control. This is the goal to-
ward which the Association is striving
now. The meetings listed below for
next week should be attended by every
tobacco grower in the community.
Only by the united efforts OF all
growers can loyalty be assured and
