WANTS MEN WORKING
AGAIN AT ST. PAUL MILL

Editor. The Times: I can't I'M
derstand why the papers don't
have something to say about
the terrible conditions among
the employees of the St. Paul
and Tacoma Lumber company.
Nearly 900 men have been out
of work for month now and
their families are sure suffering.
Why should the union have the
power to keep these men from
working at good wages while
they argue some technical points
with the company? Isn't there
somebody who can step in and
get these men back to work ?
All of them I have talked to
don't know why they are on
strike and want to go back to
work. They were earning good
pay and satisfied with their jobs.
Can't the governor or mayor or
somebody step in and get these
men back to work? l under
stand the company has asked
the men to come back. Some
thing should be done about this!

BUYERS SHOULD DEMAND
PURE" ON LABELS

Editor. The Times: How many
housewives are there today who
are demanding pure foods from
their grocers or genuine silk,
wool, or cotton from their mer-
chants? On the cans and pack
ages Of foodstuffs that you pur-
chase do you see the word pure
written? Do you see the word
genuine on pair OF silk hose
you buy? You very seldom do.
The depression has made many
manufacturers very lax in the
use OF the words pure or genu-
inc because they have been COM
PEELED to give you cheaper
grade of merchandise at a lower
cost.
The women of this country do
s5 per cent Of the buying 1t is
to their advantage if they de-
mand that the word pure or
genuine be written on every
piece of merchandise which they
purchase. The manufacturer will
be very willing to label his goods
pure or genuine if he is positive
they are unadulterated.
You will be helping yourself
as well as the producer if you
demand that the manufacturer
supply you with pure butter or
genuine silk hose.

As the news trickles through

cause they voted for the bill
they cannot now go to the
Townsendites and ask for pledges
of support against the uncer-
tainties of 1910.
1t was suspected at the time
and the fact has since been veri-
fled that q considerable number
of those who voted for the bill
had assured themselves that the
opposition was strong enough to
defeat il. For the sake of the
support of an organization IN

something TO revive the sick

they were willing TO be counted

ST PAUL UNION GIVES
REPLY TO CRITIC

Editor. The Times: In reply
to Mr.. n. r. Johnson's state
ment which appeared in the
Pulse of the Public" June is,
the membership of Local No. 9,
l. w. Of A. makes the following
statement to clear up any mis-
understanding that may be in
the mind of the public
No one deplores the closing of
the St. Paul mill and camps any
more than the workers involved.
The employees of the company
did not strike to force negotia-
tions only, but voted to cease
any and all operations until
decent working agreement is
reached and signed. The mill
unit was placed in the position
of a strike breaker by the COM
pany when the company in
tended to operate the mill with
logs urchase d from other
sources than its own camps. We
think that Mr.. johnson is sadly
misinformed when he states that
the average wage scale in the
numbering industry is better
than IS cents per hour, then
when it is considered that the
operating schedules have not
averaged 80 weeks per year for
the past few years, we feel that
Mr.. Johnson is unduly disturbed
over the payroll loss, when we
know that through the Lumber
mems association there is only
a certain amount of lumber cut.
ii makes no difference whether
II is cut all at one time and the
plant closes down or the mill op-
crates on reduced weekly

you have legal remedy about

Mr.. Fixit: Why doesn't Wash

II not true that certain reveIa-
