Of the Council at the Friday evening

G. Mumaw, 70 the Aberdeen Chamber
Of Commerce. Over 200 magnificent
scenes of the OIympics and surround
ing country in natural colors COM
prise this collection which is one of
the finest obtainable and shows the
wonderful Alps Of the western hemis-
phere, with all the varying changes
Of climate; the great forests that are,
as yet, virgin; the lakes. the great
cedar and spruce giants, the fertility
Of the country and the scenery that is
incompatible. Words are inadequate
in description. It is declared that
not twenty-five persons have ever
seen most Of this section, though now,
that good roads are being built into
it, it will be more accessible.
At the close Of the showing of the
slides and speech by Mr.. Mumaw,
dad" Young addressed the ASSEMBLE
ed throng, who listened spell-bound
for over two hours to him, as he re-
lated stories of the conflict for human
rights and conditions throughout
America. He spoke of the early car
penters and showed that the carpen-
tiers have been in this fight for a high
er standard of living and citizenship
ever since the very foundation of this
republic. He spoke Of the right Of
little children to an education and
the result to the nation therefrom;
the awakening Of the nation in mat
tiers and thought that will ultimately
bring about the emancipation of
childhood, freeing it from the thral-
dom and slavery that is now in prac-
tice in many of our states because of
the lack of national protection.
To attempt to relate his story is
vain. Suffice it, that he was at his
best and one and all present voiced
approval and enthusiasm
At the close of Dads" speech, the
banquet room was filed and filed
again and again. The ladies had
supplied and anticipated our every
wish in a culinary way. Then there
was dancing for the young and cards
for the more sedate. It was an even
ing fittingly enjoyed and attended.
At this time, it is fitting to make
mention that much of the credit to the
evenings success was due to the eff
forts of the ladies under the super
vision of the wife of former Presi-
Tent Of Local 317, Mrs. L. E. Can
field. There was so much thought of
and so little to be desired that it must
be voted one great success.
Saturday Morning Session
The morning session of the Con-
vention opened with a bang, Dele
gates were beginning to plan for
leaving and meant business. Presi-
dent Flynn spoke of the great good
accomplished by the Council since it's
inception and during the past year;
he spoke of his finding conditions
more favorable in this state to the
craft than in many both east and
west-that the $500 scale here is
equivalent to $1,000 and $11.00 in
them and that Washington is the
best State in the Union.
