The development of trade terri

lations Herewith have always been
matters of first Importance to the
business men of Seattle. Through
the Chamber of Commerce, service
clubs and trade associations, visits
are arranged and conducted with
that purpose in view. These have
proven an excellent means of contact
and an interchange of comfy be-
tween commercial and other inter

educational aspects of these tours
and their friendly attitude, have
likewise been most advantageous and
pleasant.
The eighty million dollar annual

have closely united the affairs of
both communities making their pro-
gress simultaneous"

COLLIER MAKES
CLERKS SLAVE
ON Ne WSSTANDS
Pay Averages S22 a
Week

(By Worker Correspondent
The infamous Collier, the puS-
Usher who controls the subway
news-stands in Greater New York
City, has been pointed out as one
of the worst labor offenders in the
country by organized labor. The
subway newsstand slaves are ex-
plotted in the worst manner by the
interests of Collier who do not
value human labor to the least ex-
tent, except to get as much as pos
sible out of them.
Conditions on the stands are I'M
bearable. In the summer time there
is the foul heat and dust the clerks
are forced to inhale into their sys-
tenn and in the winter they are
compelled to brave the cold and
moist. 1t is a common occurrence
amongst the news-s stand employees
to be affected with all sorts of all
ments due to the environment in
which they are compelled to work
in. They are on the job from the
early hours of the morning until
the late hours of the night. The
"stand" must always be attended
and the clerk must wait for an in
spector to come along and relieve
him to attend to his personal wants.
The average pay is about S22 per
week for all the smaller stands and
the poor paying stands, larger and
better paid stands the clerks work
for a commission of IL per cent
which is lowered gradually to bring
the pay envelope to about $50 per
week. Each stand is charged up
with a certain amount of merchan-
disc and, for instance, one stand is
charged with $175 in merchandise
at the retail price, at the end of the
week the daily report is tabulated
and if $3.50 in sales was taken in,
then there must be s25 in merchan-
disc to account for.
Clerks are held responsible for
all shortages at the end of the week.
A shortage sometimes amounts to
$25 of the weeks earnings of the
stand, which is deducted from the
clerks weekly salary. The inspec-
tors come around several times dur
ing the day to keep tab on the eff
ficiency of the clerks.

WorkersP arty Meeting
Continues Despite New
Attack by Hoodlums

A Workers (Communist) Party
open-air election campaign meeting,
held at Lexington and 26th St., last
night, continued its program de-
spite attacks by hoodlums and
members of the state militia, who
threw water from the armory win
dows located on the corner at which
the meeting was being conducted.
A crowd of about so workers were
listening attentively to the argu-
ment of the speakers when windows
above the crowd were opened, cat
calls were made and finally paper
bags filled with water were thrown
down on the speakers. Among those
who addressed the workers were A.
Gusakoff and Edward Wright. The
meeting was successful and a col
lection taken up for the campaign

HE Understood Women S" Has
a Dislike for UNDERSTANDING

MICHAEL KALLESSER and Fran
4" els Lynch in their play, HE I'm
derstood Women" at the Belmont,
seem to have settled down to make
an accurate true-to-life picture of
modern commercial and military
circles, with the following cast:
Joseph CRANKY, as Julian Roman,
First Adulterer, and wealthy, He
says he understands women.
Allan Dewitt, as Lieut.. latter
wards Capt. Maurice Lonsaine,
Second Adulterer, and in debt.
Hilda Spong, as Baroness LeLong,
Adulteress, and somewhat aged.
William Augustin, as Baron Lee
Long, Suspecting Husband of Adult
teress.
Peggy Allenby, as Aline, Maid to
Adulteress, Mistress of Second
Adulterer, afterwards Wife of First
Adulterer, and Grand Opera Singer.
Frank G. Bond, as Auguste Ber-
trand, whose sole purpose in the
play is to answer when First Adult
terer wants to talk philosophy, and
to accelerate the plot when it stalls
on dead center.
The scene is laid in France at the
time of the subjugation Of Morocco.
The Second Adulterer persuades
his admirer, the Adulteress, to sell
herself to the First Adulterer, who,
through his wealth, can dictate to
the war department both promotions
and demotions of French officers.
The price is to be captains COM
mission for the Second Adulterer.
While the Second Adulterer is
hiding in the Adultress' bedroom
from the First Adulterer, who is en-
gagged in a love scene with the Adult
tress in the parlor, the Suspecting
Husband arrives in the parlor, and
is angry. He says harsh things to
his wife, and is challenged to a duel
and killed by the First Adulterer
for insulting lady. The lieutenant
becomes a captain, and Immediately
deserts the Adulteress to take up
with the maid. He tires of her soon

and persuades the First Adulterer
to marry her in order to have son
to whom he can pass on his secrets
of the science of love.
The Adulteress out of jealousy
tells the First Adulterer about her
maids amour with the Second
Adulterer, whereupon he casts off
his wife and has the Second Adult
terer sent on active duty to Moroc-
co.
After a year the wife has become
a great singer, the First Adulterer
crushed by the discovery that
women yield to him only for value
received, and the Second Adulterer
begs on his knees to be taken out of
Morocco to serve his country in
some easier way. The Adulteress
then whitewashes him, by saying
that she exaggerated his sins with
Aline, and Aline is reinstated as
wife of the First Adulterer.
The aged Adulteress then woos
unwilling Second Adulterer. So he
enters with her into the holy state
of matrimony.
The theatre is badly attended.

Coal Company
Trick EUQdes
COMPENSATION
by a Worker Correspondent

MOLONAUER, Pa, (By MALL.
The rush and hurry for profits
and because it costs money to
buy props to prop up the roof of
the mine, often causes the coal
miner to meet with accident or
often with death.
On July 7, 1925 in mine at
Molonauer, Pennsylvania, George
Milko was injured by a fall of
slate. He was granted compen-
sation by the state board until
November ID, 1926, when the
company went into court and had
the court rule on whether he was
entitled to as much compensation
as he was getting. This is a
slick trick resorted to by the coal
companies. When a miner or
other worker is injured they let
the compensation be fixed at
high rate and then when they
wish to have the compensation
shut. off they go into court for a
readjustment and bring in their
books and prove that the rate of
pay earned by the worker is not
as represented but is much lower
on the average paid by them to
the worker over a given period.
After several hearings of the
case at court the court decides in
favor of the company. Now
this worker is denied the right
of compensation by a decision of
the state board of review July
%, 1928 and he must go to the
poor house or rely on the charity
of his friends for a living.
