No Union; Workers
Get Ten Hour Day

COEUR dALENE, Idaho, July
l2-The box factory run by the
Blackwell Lumber Company sees
fit to ignore the codes when
profits promise. Beginning this
week they went to working ten
hours. Lack of organization in
this plant makes it possible for
the bosses to drive the men as
they please.
The box factory at one time
employed great many women
when they could hire women to
do the same amount of work for
lower wages but since the deep
ening of the crisis they found
unOrganized male labor was just
as cheap and easier to speed up
so they layed the women off and
hired all men workers.

EVERETT, July 12.-Tuesday
afternoon session resumed while
Seattle newspapers blazed on the
streets with headlines of the
dead and dying in centratiOn
of guerilla warfare against or
ganized labor. All was peaceful
in Everett.
More resolutions were read. A
public health committee should
be appointed to investigate the
different forms of health insur-
ance.
More and bigger health APP

ingtOn's working people,"
The only resolution with any
working-class significance what
ever was the resolution That in
the interest of democracy and
trade uniOnism the Washington
State Federation of Labor call
upon all affiliated organizations
for financial support in a con-
certed drive to organize office
workers, clerks in large retail
stores, engineering technicians
and those in similar lines now I'M
organized" Because
The unorganized workers of
the socalled white collar class
have proved a fertile field for
! the subversive activities of
such groups as the Italian Fas-
cists and German Nazis," etc.
Communications received by
President Taylor included a let
ter from c. F. Rhodes, San Fran
cisco Machinists' vice president,
commenting the A. f. of L. for
its splendid work, constructive
legislation, security and improve
ment of all people in the state"
The resolution bill presented

Resolution So, sent to CON-

vocated boycott of all Califor-
mia industries and products,
for the part played by its gov
ernor in the institution of
terrorism against the water
front strikers, and the calling
in of state troops.
Brother Corners, "the real
labor commissioner in this state"
according to President Taylor,
reported against Roy Browns
activities with the National Lum-
Der Workers Union near Gray's
HaTbOr.
1t seems Brown went into the
woods and pulled the workers
off without notifying tn
bosses, and held them off for
no reason at all" except to
stir up trouble"
In betWeen-times was taken
with testimonial speeches for
President Taylor and C. o. DAD
Young, by Brother r. J. Olinger,
from the state department of
labor, and others.
Regardless of what some peo-
pie think" said Olinger, labor
HAS had consideration. The gov
ernOr hasn't turned the troops
loose against the waterfront
strikers yet"
So the waterfront strike DID
raise its ugly head, but was i'm
mediately squashed under a pile
of soft cushions from Comrades
Levine, Short and Taylor.

Rx WILMA LAYILLE

There's q fairly clear divid-
ing line this year between for
NAL and sports coats. Not that
you can't find coats that will
do for both, but the coats that
are fitted of fine supple furs
with fluffy fox collars or with a
collar of the fur are very diff
ferent from the swagger, sports
like coats.
The cut Of the coat and the
fur are the deciding factors in
how formal the coat will look.
Sometimes you'll find a swag-
ger coat of a more dressy fur
that takes on an air Of formal
ity, but it's rather rare. So,
generally speaking, they may
fall into two separate groups.
Variety Of Furs
Formal coats may be of fine
furs. the luxury furs, such as
mink, Alaska sealskin or Per-
sian lamb, or they may be OF
furs that fit the pocketbooks of
almost every woman. Hudson
seal makes lovely formal coats
and is not so expensive.
Broadtail is priced according
to it's quality, and it's possible
to get a lovely coat of good
American broadtail for very
little. KidSkin, when treated
formally, makes a dress coat,
and it's not expensive. Ermine
in summer color, which is light
brown, or dyed in other colorS,
makes gorgeous coats, too.
Clever Pelt Treatment
Then there are the coats of
Jap mink, another good looking
fur of moderate price, and of
mink paws, or of black lapin,
styled like coats of seal, and
you'll even see a coat of musk
rat dyed dark like mink, and
with the skins put together as
though they were mink skins.
They can be very effective.
Formal coats nearly always
come to the bottom of your
skirt. and it's best if your coat
covers your dress entirely. That
means that they will be about
nine inches from the ground
on most women.
Shoulders Natural
Shoulders are natural, with
armholeS wide for Smartness
and comfort, and if there's
fullneSS it comes about the el-
bow or below. A few coats
blouse in the back, though
most are straight, and all are
slim below the waist. A few
have belts all around, and a
very new style is the tunic
coat, with long-haired fur
around the tunic.
