Practically every labor organiza- tion in the city is behind the measure and many haye contributed funds. Barely one month remains in which to get signa- tures on the petitions. To date, but about 12,000 names have been returned to: the headquarters, 402 Railway Exchange building, for Seattle, King county and the state. About 8,000 names have been obtained in Tacoma. To allow a safe margin to cover signa- tures thrown out because of technicalities, fully 60,000 signatures are needed. Seattle labor unions can turn in from 15,000 to 20,000 valid signatures in the next week if the mem- bers and friends of public ownership will do just a little work in their spare time. If every union mem- ber makes it his or her business to get five names each, the campaign can be brought to a successful close in one week. To put Initiative Measure No. 52 on the ballot in the November elections every union member must become an active worker. The measure is of vital importance to every man, woman and child in the state. It is the duty of each one to obtain signatures in the battle to save for posterity the last remaining nattfral resource, the water-power energy of Washing ton, from the grasp of private monopoly. This work must be done immediately. Volunteers are needed now. Circulators are needed in every neighborhood, precinct and section of the city, and especially in’ the downtown business centers, Get a petition, get it now, and see that registered voters sign it. Write or call at 402 Railway Exchange build- ing, or phone EL liot-8915, Sincerely, HOMER T. BONE, State Power Conference of Washington, and Super- power League,
