is extremely liberal policy and many regard as definite

waiting for the to push them do away with
ursdctiona disputes They should end the restrictive and
sometimes conspratora practices which keep prices high
and prevent introduction of products Next the
rackeeeng should be swept aside and the racetee
ing unions with them The kind of labor movement this
country needs should have place for leader who talks
about prison for having been pander mere

Helena, Montana
BY HEX
Box 25

1t has come to light that the
petition calling for support of vot-
ers for a return to the aldermanic
system of government for Helena,
is the brain child of labor interests
in the city. The labor vote in
Helena, at present, is quite strong,
having gained considerable mo-
mentum toward expansion since
the rehabilitation of Helena fol-
lowing the earthquake. Unions
have been given renewed life and
their growth has been almost phe-
nomenal. There is little doubt but
that in any contest between labor
and other interests at the polls,
labor could be counted at the top.
Out of seven wards in the city,
the first, third, sixth and seventh
would be strongly pro-labor.
Strong labor influence in city af-
fairs could be anticipated and al
most assured. The question arises:
Will the general welfare of the
city be best promoted when repre-
sentatives of several wards decker
and bicker for choice cuts of
tempting financial morsels, for
their respective sections, at the
regular weekly, or should one say
tueakly meetings.

"A Tribute To
Sarah E. Tinker
By Mrs. J. L. NJ. Bell

Another pioneer of this section
who answered her last summons
was Sarah e. Tinker, who depart
ed this lift February 4, just eleven
days before her 18th birthday.
Born in Windsor, Ontario, Canada
most of her life had been spent in
the United States, living princi-
pally in Detroit and Cleveland.
With her husband, the late Tho
mas Tinker, they came to Seattle
nearly 40 years ago. A few years
later they moved to Everett, to
remain until three years ago, when
she returned to Seattle.
She was converted at the age
of II and SO years of her life was
spent in the service of the Lord.
She served in many capacities In
the church, many years as ste
wardess and was a great mission
airy worker. At the time of her
death she was a member of the
First A.M.E. Church in Seattle.
She was widely known among
both races as a fine cateress, serv-
ing many prominent ones of the
other group. She was frequently
called to the Executive Mansion in
Olympia on special occasions. At
her funeral, the former Governor
and Mrs. Roland Hartley were
among those who paid their last
respects to one who served so
faithfully.
No immediate relatives survive
her. Her last sister died two
years ago in New York. In her
younger days she, took an active
part in civic life, having spent
years in lodge work and doing her
bit of uplift work in clubs.
A host of friends in both races
mourn her passing. The last sad
rites were held in Everett on Feb.
7, the Rev. L. r. Hayes officiated.
She was laid to rest near her
late husband who preceded her in
death by nine years.
