Unions represented labor when they had but five or ~ three or even one per cent organized. The policies they | expressed with 100,000 members drew them 2,900,0¢ "more. They could give no more convincing proof of ap- wal. Organizing the 27,000,000 more would not change policies. ae r cent in a union have thousands of times called, : ee end ad won strikes with the consent and loyal al- nce of the remaining 90 per cent does not prove in- dation, but that the unions voiced the aspirations of all. uncing such a situation is merely scolding facts. Union demands are the universal demands of labor. unions of England, France, Italy and all the rest of world announce the same principles and follow the same as those of the United States. Everywhere unions ask x hours, higher wages, leisure and education for m, democratic institutions and a voice in determining conditions of labor in industry. On these labor every- here is agreed. They have been written into the great treaty. Where they have been gained it has been the unions, by the use of the union shop, the strike, collective bargaining. Unorganized labor never lacks for volunteer spokesmen, ho always assert their greater fitness as representatives its opinion than the millions who are organized. These pkesmen were certain that labor was disloyal. The unions ed their loyalty. spoke the voice of the great mass of labor, or- d or unorganized. : These same spokesmen now tell us that the unorganized ers are turning to Bolshevism. They assure us that anion labor is in revolt against the “conservatism” of unions. The truth that, for better or wor the IGANIZED WORKERS ARE ALWAYS THE MOST ROGRESSIVE, BUT THEY ARE NOT IRRESPONSIBLE TICS. THEY ARE NOT BOLSHEVISTS. The fu- will show that they are representative of all labor. Reactionary employers and radical demagogues agree unions do not represent labor. The experience of half } century proves them wrong. What the unions think and do today all labor thinks does tomorrow. fin ions How to Make ’Em Lay who never entertained chickens before to devote much of the next winter’s social season reception; and a lot of folks who have been keeping fens are going to handle them so they will produce re eggs, and produce them in the wintertime when an is an egg. ie are a few things you must do if you would eggs. Some of them you mustdéonow. FIRST, the early hatched chicks are the early layers. SECOND, keep your chicks growing from birth to THIRD, remember that to make eggs the hen machine ds these raw materials—grit, greens, grain, meat, r shell, fresh water, freedom from vermin. FOURTH, butcher your roosters, allow no rooster with pour laying hens. If you want eggs in the winter use young hens; con- them on a small range; keep grit-sand and gravel them; ditto oyster shell; ditto fresh water. Give n grain, not too much,. morning and night, let them for it in the litter of the hen house. Give them, in a self feeder, as much of a laying mash, dry, as you give grain. This mash is most essential d must contain fish, or beef scrap, on tankage, as well corn meal, wheat middlings and bran. Usually it is per to buy it than to mix it, but get it you must if u want winter eggs. For greens give them cabbage, kitchen refuse, hot your salads; sprout oats in patent contraptions, or hing convenient. Clean the houses once a week, anyway, and spray ‘with some insecticide afterwards. _ A little trouble? Not so much as it might appear, and is the one sure system to have eggs, lots of them, when eggs are rare. al ch King county’s voting machines have proved a good in- vestment. According to County Auditor Wardall’s report, they are the means of great saving in election costs. They are a saving in money and in time. The county now owns 200 machines. There are 277 Precincts in the city of Seattle. Wardall recommends the purchase of the additional 77 machines, at least. This should be done. If the matter is delayed, the additional machines will not be here in time for the coming city election. _—the price may go up.
