Jeb Musser was arrested last week in Mt Pleas- ant, in a mood of friendliness toward all the world. him doing a barefoot dance in front the Baptist church, at the same time chanting, “I'm Standing in the Need ot Pra When interrogated by the Mt. Pleasant police, Jeb told him “Whisky! “I know,” said the police force, “but where did you get it, Jeb?” “OV Colonel Bryan got bis out of a rock, didn’t he?” parried Jeb.

The Associated Industries and the Master Bakers recognize the right of men to belong to anions, and for collective bargaining for wages, and hours of service. But when any group of men can dic- tate to the employer-WHEN his plant shall be operated, they are attempting something even beyond the scope of.radical Bolshevism. ae fight of the Your co-oper- The Associated Industries has taken Master Bakers because it is YOUR FIG ation is asked—is vitally needed. The members of the Se- attle Association of the Baking Industry have individually, as well as collectively, done everything possible to avert this threatened strike. If the Bakers and Confectione Workers and salesmen of bakery goods “walk out,” it will only be because they ask something that it is impossible for a true American business man to give. The Master Bakers’ Association is fighting for a PRINCI- PLE of Americanism. They are fighting BOLSHEVISM of the worst kind. If the Master Bakers should sign the unrea- sonable contract asked by the Labor Unions, they will set a coeseent that vitally affects every other American in- dustry. Wages in Seattle under new sales contracts offered by the Seattle Association of the Baking Industry are the same as San Francisco, which are the highest in the United States. They ak from $2,000 per year, the lowest wages paid, to over $3,000 per year. For night work the 25c per hour additional over day work wages is also the highest in the United States. {n comparison with other crafts, the bakers can work stead- ily 308 days in each year. All tools, aprons, and, in fact, everything to work with, is furnished by Master Bakers, Overtime is as high as any city in the United States. The day hours in Seattle are more favorable than in other cities. The Master Bakers have changed these hours, which were formerly 4 a. m. ee m., to 6 a. m. to 6 p. m., 80 that both eight-hour shifts of day workers could finish work early enough to go where they pleased in the evening. “WHAT THE UNIONS DEMAND WHAT MASTER BAKERS ANSWER Bakers and Mew scape 5 sen International Union, WAGES Foreman, day work Mixers, bench and machine hands, day work «+++ $39.00 per week Qven men, day work ... «... $32.00 per week Night work, 25¢ per hour additional.
