A communication was read from the machinist* asking thnt the Nelson Com pression Grease Cup company be placed on the Unfair list, The request was concurred In. The communication, which is self-explanatory, is as follows-. "Seattle, Wash.. Dee. 8, 1911. "To the Member* of Organized Labor: "Greeting*—Hope Lodge No. 70, I. A. of M., desire to call your attention to the fact that they have placed the Nel son Compression Crease Cup on the Un fair List at their regular meeting, No vember 24, 1811, and have asked the Central Labor Council of Seattle anil vi cinity to take the same action. The aetioii is now pending with this body. Representatives of this organization have had several meetings with Mr. J.l M. Frye, who is selling the grease cups [ in the state of Washington, and when he was first approached, was very will ing to agree that they be made in fair shops, but after having discussed the matter with some of tlie member* of ; the Metal Trades association he changed his decision in that respect, and would only agree t ohave them made in a fair shop where it was absolutely necessary. This the machinists of No. 70 would not agree to. ' This company owns a shop and are manufacturing grease cups in Los Ange- ' les under unfair conditions, and if there was any standard size so that they' could be got out to fit all wagons, there is no doubt all the manufacturing would, be done at that point, hut as it is. their work is done at local points. The North western Iron works has been doing the work in Seattle for Mr. Frye. This firm has be. n on the Unfair List in the city of Seattle for the past eighteen months. This grease cup is made to fit all wagons and vehicles, and organized workers can be of great assistance to vs —more espe cially the teamsters' organization—as any new appliance on wagons depends on its recommendation, to a great ex tent, to the man driving the wagon.

The Council unanimous ly endorsed Bro. Straka for reappoint ment. l-athcrs reported work dull and visit ing brother from Vancouver reported working conditions not of the best across «the line. Longshoremen were opposed to open sessions of the Council. Machinists cleared about $80 from their dance for the benefit of tlie Harri man strikers. I'ainters held semi-annual election of officers. PROGRAM CHANGES AT ACME "Lena Rivers," which was made from Mary •(. Holmes' world famous novel, will be run at the Acme three nights only, starting Sunday matinee. January T. Beginning Wednesday matinee the greatest farcial offering ever, "My Uncle From New York." will run the balance of the week. No company in the Acme in years lias demanded so enthusiastic attention from theatergoers as the clever one now supporting Ann Phillips there, and the business has been fittingly Increasing since her opening.

Lovers of music arc promised a rare treat shortly when the University of California Glee Club appears here at the Everett theater on Saturday evening, January li. The club lias made a practice nf tour ing the coast each year during the Xmas holidays. Last year it was the southern portion of California which was honored by their presence, hut the boys have turned north ward this year and are con fidently ex|K'cting the hearty support of the northwest.

Thanks is due to these peo ple who made it possible for the boys to chaiut the music lovers of the Windy City. In addition to the extensive re|s-rtoire Which the club picked up while in Eu rope, eXtnded preparations have been made during this fall for the trip this Xmas. and when they appear here, a program as varied and pleasing as can be desired will tie rendered for the bene 1 fit of the audience. MAINTENANCE OF WAGES. The Substitution of female la bor In tbe work of coremaklng in the foundries of Massachu setts and elsewhere is receiving much attention at this time, the objection being based very large ly upon the moral or sentimental grounds tbat those engaged In such work nre scantily clothed or that the work ls too severe for women to perform. We may grant thnt both of these reasons are perfectly sound, but there ls another reason that Is not given much prominence, and that ls that these women are Introduced at eight or nine dollars per week to displace the male coremakers that formerly received from $3 to 83.60 per day. The mainte nance of Ihe wages is fully as important as the maintenance of health or morals, because both health and morals must give way under the pressure of a wage rate that Is not self sus taining. Trade Union Notes. In Washington alone there are 40,000 government clerks. The supreme court of Wisconsin has upheld the validity of the now Indus trial compensation law of that state. The United Brotherhood of Carpen ters and Joiners, which was suspend ed about a year, has been reinstated in the American Federation of Labor. The threatened strike of 8,000 shop men of the Rock Island railroad was averted by the men agrcein3 to the proposition of the company. There will be no increase of wages The adjustment committee ot the American Federation of Labor recom mended the amalgamation of the In ternational Association of Stenmfitters and the Association of Journeymen Plumber" Favor Municipal Ownership. Tbe platform of the Detroit Federa tion of Labor, as adopted by all affil iated unions by a referendum vote, de clares for municipal ownership of all public utilities, nnd the federation has reaffirmed its former action in this re gard and will oppose the granting of a franchise to the Detroii Street rail way or any other privata corporation.

LOT OF THE WORKINGMAN. Not Until Recent Years Did He Receive Consideration. It was on May 4. 1800, that the Bey. Henry Solly of Lancaster, England, or ganized the Worklngmen's Mutual im provement and Recreation society, tlie first »f tlie now numerous Institutions for the mental and social uplift of the toiling millions. From the dawn of tiistory down to the middle of the nineteenth century | the lot of the worklngmnn was n mod dismal one in pretty nearly all lauds of the earth. Herodotus tells of the slaves who built the pyramids, of the cruel taskmasters, the terrible straining and struggling, the degradation of the toil ers, the whole making a picture that can never he forgotten by those who bave once had their attention called to it. nnd It Is not too much to say that the spirit of the Egyptian taskmasters prevailed, to n considerable extent at least, as late certainly ns the time of the French revolution. The workingman was simply a no body. If he was permitted to toil nnd by his toll to get a fairly deceut ani mal su itenaui c -s plenty of coarse fare and a pile of straw to sleep ou at night-he had no right to look for anything further. The idea that the men Who did tbe WOrk of the world might desire to bet ter themselves socially, might have a Wish to heir music and look al pic lures and become acquainted with the thoughts and works of the great men who c names they had in one way or another beard of. was perfectly ridicu lous, The workingman needed only strong muscles aud a stiff backbone, lie had no sort of use for mental cul ture or for social aspirations, for knowledge and the self respect thnt knowledge so materially helps along Labor was degraded and degrading Only the gentleman was respectable ami the gentleman was the man who did not have to work. Slid) was the absurd opinion that prevailed from the time of Aristotle and earlier pwey down Into modern time. And, to make matters still worse, the workingmen themselves were largely of Ihe same way of thinking. Iv the majority of cases they were sat isfied with their wretched lot. feeling that they were getting all that was "coming to them." They had no am bition beyond the day's work and its material compensations. Caliban was contented to remain Caliban. Beginning, however, with the noble minded clergyman who started the good work among the Lancashire weavers, the propaganda for the amel ioration of the workers' condition has assumed worldwide proportions, and the problem, so long neglected, of the laboring man's emancipation from the Ignorance and squalor that have for so many ages been his portion is today the burning one in every civilized country. Everywhere there nre Institutions working along the lilies mapped out by the founder of tlie Worklngmen's Mutual Improvement society, with the result that the tollers are rapidly ceasing to be mere tilings and becom ing men—"high minded men" —with the thoughts, hopes, aspirations, that properly belong to them as such. Every year means for the working men better homos, better apparel, bet ter and larger thoughts, a keener preciation for the beautiful In and in art. a deeper self IT UNION LABOR CLASSIFIED TRADING GUIDE 'he following, together with the regular advertisers in ?he Journal, forms a reliable list of Everett Business con. ems. who are friends of Labor and entitled to itspatronagc- AMBULANCE SERVICE.
