HOPE FOR PEACEFUL
SETTLEMENT ISSEEN
! INEAONDRY DISPUTE
Seattle Owners Finally Ac-
Is, cept Arbitration.
Especial to Labor Press.)

SEATTLE, Sept. .18.-Prospects OF
a peaceful settlement of the dispute
between laundry workers and owners
of Seattle were brighter today when
Mayor Brown announced that the
laundry owners have changed from
their stubborn stand and have agreed
to submit the whole question to ar
bitration.
The laundry workers called strike
only after several weeks Of negotia-
tions with the owners came to naught'
The workers are asking slight in
crease in the minimum wage scale,
and a five and one-half day week.
President William Short of the State
Federation of Labor is assisting the
workers in their fight.
The laundry owners stipulate that
the disputed questions must be arbi-
trated over a wider scale than that
proposed by the workers, Mayor
Brown said. This stipulation proba-
bly, will be entirely acceptable to the
workers, as their original arbitration
offer was made when the owners ex-
pressed themselves as being opposed
to arbitration.
The laundry workers union, COM
prising about 1900 employees, mostly
women and girls, ask a minimum
wage of $18 a week instead of the

CARPENTER PLANS TO
SELL FLA. HOME SITE
OPPOSEDNOWN RANKS
By International Labor News Service

By International Labor News Service
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. IT,
There seems to be some opposition
arising against the plan of the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join
ers to sell the Florida site for a home
for the aged and infirm members of
the union and apply the proceeds of
the sale to an old age payment of pen
sions to members.
The national headquarters here has
been advised that the Los Angeles Dis
trict Council of Carpenters has unani-
mously adopted a resolution opposing
the plan.
The general offices of the union re-
Gently asked referendum on the
subject of the disposal of the Florida
site. The action of the Los Angeles
council asks that the proposition be
voted down on the ground that such a
home can take care of more members
in better way than the proposed pen
sion plan. The resolution points to the
Union Printers Home in Colorado
Springs and Mooseheart and Moose
haven Sailors Home as examples of
homes for the well being of union
workers. The resolution also points
out that the carpenters have a large
number of indigents in the ranks and
only a reasonable allowance with
which to care for them, makii it nee
essary osdopt the most eco omical
method in providing for them. The
council then asks that the carpenters
vote down the proposal OF sale. The
referendum is now in process of being
taken.
The property is at Lakeland, Fla,
and was bought by the union Cor $780,
900. Since the Florida land boom it
is believed that the Lakeland site will
double in value within the next five
years. The property has been consid-
cred improved and is regarded as a
valuable site. 1t could be sold to day
for much more than it cost.

-FOUR ASPIRANTS IN
RACE FOR MAYOR;
MORE ARE ENPECED
Central Council Will Not
Take Definite Stand in
City Politics.
BY OBSERVER.

With the entry of A. P. Stockwell
into the race this week, the number of
candidates for Aberdeen Mayoralty
honors has been increased to four, in
cluding C. NJ. Cloud, present mayor
by grace of the resignation of A. G..
Hopkins last winter. A. J. Grant,
councilman, and DR.. w. ]. Long are
the other candidates.
The first rumblings Of a political
fight were heard last Saturday night
when the organization that put Mr..
Hopkins into office held its first meet
ing in many months. This meeting
was of the opinion that Aberdeen is
a very immoral place, and that a can
didate bearing the endorsement of the
former Hopkins hackers must be elect
ed to save the city from utter ruin.
Although not regarded as parti-
san move and believed to have been
actuated as a religious movement,
Rev. ]. Randolph Sasnett last week
called upon his congregation to de-
mand county grand jury. Rev. Sas-
nett said that vice is rampant in Abb
erdeen as well as the county as a
whole. and that numerous indictments
are needed to quell the lawlessness
that exists. The congregation passed
a resolution as favoring grand jury
term.
The Aberdeen Central Labor Coup-
ell will not take any definite stand
in city politics, but the individual
members will be acquainted with the
attitude Of the various candidates to-
ward organized labor. Police> Judge
r. sft Taggart hes again tosasd his
aavef into the ring for reelection TO
his present office. Judge Taggart had
been viewed by many as a mayoraity
candidate, SO his present action queils
that rumor.
But few of the councilman have sig
nified their political intentions as yet
and only two of the other city Of
ficials have indicated their attitude IN
seeking reelection.

Why You Should Insure In
Union Insurance Company

s'Use the Union Label"
ssBuy Union watermarked paper.
aBank in Labor Banks
And at last, but not least, insure
in Union Insurance Company.
Why?
Because in union there is strength,
and organized labor has shown
strength and vitality in cooperating
Tor the common good along many lines
during its history. You as worker
ARE reaping the benefits of this COOP
GRAFTON in improved working condi-
tions, higher wages, and other ways;
and are paving the way for still furth-
er improvements for the next genera
tion of workers.
One of the greatest developments
in modern life is insurance protection.
It is purely cooperative ide, and not
a new one. Abraham Lincoln apprec-
lated it's great value, and expressed
it on various occasions; and the same
is true Of Theodore Roosevelt and
Woodrow Wilson.
Many men put off obtaining insur-
ance merely because it is a step which
Southwest Washington labor press. [volume] (Hoquiam, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1925-09-18

they are not compelled to take, and
they think any future time is as good
as the present. Nearly every one
really intends to do so, but they just
daily along. Sometimes this dalIying
is costly, as the premiums are higher
for older men than the younger men;
or sickness may intervene, making
them bad risks; or even the end itself
may come Unexpectedly soon. Then
somebody is sorry that there is no in
surance policy in force to act as a prop
in the hard days.
But why insure in a union insurance
company? An official Of one of the
largest New York commercial insur-
ance companies has stated that ''in-
dustrial workers constitute f6ur-fifths
of the 100000 men" who are carry
ing its life Insurance.; and that is only
one company. The premiums for in
surance for 100000 men must
amount up to a tidy sum, and the
workers lose control Of it as soon as
it is paid into the Golfers Of the COM

it does meet delegates from every

called to order last Monday morning
at 10 o'clock by H. w. Dali, president
Of The local teamsters' union. Prayers
were offered by Bishop Edward O'Dea
and Rev. Ralph Magee, after which
Mayor Brown delivered an address of
welcome.
Ae the mayor arrived the band
played "The Gang is all here" and the
delegates gave the mayor a noisy
welcome.
One of the biggest delegations came
from Chicago. There are 1O4 dele

wives. The distance delegation is
from Boston.

Election of Officers Today
Daniel j. Tobin of indianapolis, vet
eran labor leader, is expected to be re-
elected president of the International
Brotherhood at the conventions an
nual election of officers in the Eagles
Temple this morning.
Tobin, who is also treasurer of the
American Federation of Labor, has
served as president of the teamster's
international since 1907. No contest
is expected in election of other Off
GERS.
Convention reports and resolutions
occupied yesterdays sessions. The
international's general executive board
assembled in the New Washington Ho-

He further reported on the condi-
tions of the various seamens' unions
of Europe.
"The Swedish Union and the Danish
Unions have just come through a
strike, but We're in a healthy condi-
tion," he said, "while the Norwegian
Union is in poor condition"
During the course of the interview
with Norwegian ship owner, Mr..
Furuseth was told he was operating
the best he could with the worst of
his own and the best of the Orientals.
The German and Belgian unions
were in a poor condition. The Hol-
land unions were in fairly good con-
dition, as they receive the support of
the longshoremen. English seamen
were in good financial as we'll as a
good moral condition, he said. They
recently accepted $500 per month
reduction in wages rather than take
the consequences of strike, which no
doubt would have resulted in e1600
per month reduction ana disaster for
the union, he said.
The l. w. w. organizations are ac-
tive in England with their union
busting" schemes as they were on
the Pacific Coast during 1921, when
they undertook to "scuttle" our Grand
Old Union but failed, said Mr.. Furu-
seth.
George Hardy, at that time secre-
tary Of the l. w. w. organization in
San Francisco, and later deported. is
trying to spread dissatisfaction among
the English. He induced a few men
IN Southampton to quit their vessels
but it had no material effect on the
union as a whole"
Mr.. Furuseth said that the execu-
tive board of the National Sailors
and Firemen's Union of Great Britain
passed resolution to loan $4,000 to
American unions, the loan to be with
out interest and repaid at the con-
| venience of the borrowers.
When Mr.. Furuseth arrived in New
York meeting was called by the ex-
ecutive committee of the international
and negotiations were carried on with
ship owners. The owners reported
that they we're not ready to settle
the problems that confront the sail

$16.50 minimum now in effect. They
also ask for 44-hour week instead
of the 48-hour schedule now in effect.
Three hundred laundry drivers of the
city ask for an increase of $5 on their
.s25 week scale, while stationary en-
gineers ask q minimum wage of $42 a
week, the union scale.
The laundry workers have voted to
strike, but no date has been set. The
drivers and engineers have not voted
as yet, but probably will strike unless
their demands are met.

By the Associated Press.

LONDON, June 25.-Representa-
tives of the British railways and their
employees in all branches OF the serv-
ice are meeting here today to discuss
proposals by the companies for rigid
economy campaign. The proposals in.
clude reduction of all emoluments,
from the lordly salaries of the rail
way directors to the wages of the
humblest workers. 1t Is said that one
plan to be submitted to the conference
would, If adopted, entail saving of

The railway managers are credited
with the intention of giving the union
delegates fullest details regarding the
depleted revenues and resources of
the companies arising from the de-
cline in passenger and freight traffic,
the latter being one of the attendants
of the prevalent trade depression.
