Mr.. Hite explained the methods en-
ployed those days in electing business
agents, compared the crude ways of
adjusting differences with the good
common sense method, as used today,
and said in those days it was custo-
mary to select 'hard-boiled bluffing"
business agent, whereas today it is
the policy Of all progressive locals to
select broadminded men to guide the
destinies Of their organizations.
Flynn Lauds Local
In brief address Leo Flynn said
that local conditions indicated that
Local IT'S had lived up to the union
policy, and declared that he did not
feel competent in advising members of
the local along the lines Of unionisn.
He outlined the accomplishments Of
the council over . period Of years and
told of many instances where adjust
ments had been successfully effected
through efforts Of the council.
Short Pays Tribute
In his address President Short paid
glowing tribute to the founders Of
the local. "As one Of the young men
| cannot say very much about the
conditions as they existed in Hoquiam
twenty-five years ago, but do know
that a tremendous improvement has
been made in both Hoquiatn and ABB
erdeen during the past ten years. To-
day, the Carpenters and Joiners OF
America are a dominating influence
in almost every community. This To-
cal was founded long before the Wash
ington State Federation was formed,
and it was the persistent and loyal la
Dor Of these veterans who pioneered
the labor movement who are largely
responsible for the formation Of the
State Federation Of Labor, an organi-
xation which has to date been instru-
mental in placing on the statute books
Of the state Of Washington fifty legis-
lative acts Tor the pFOtecttoh anu prO-
gress Of labor, and in preventing 30
enactments Of laws sponsored by en-
ennies of labor.
President Short said that as the
standards of organized labor increased
other standards automatically inn
prove. He emphasized the fact that
high wages in a community afforded
higher standard Of living for every
one, because Of the fact that the work
err could better afford Ia spend money
with professional men who have spent
large sums Of money in equipping
themselves TO render service to wage
earnerss, and who are entitled to a
remuneration commensurate with
their learning.

great sacrifices as pioneers in the la
