WINDERS, CHARLES H.:  IN ADDITION to looking after a large and representative 
private practice, Charles H. Winders in also General Attorney for the Seattle 
division of the Northern Pacific railroad.  Mr. Winders is a native son of 
Illinois, where he was born in 1878.  It was in 1903 that he graduated from 
Columbian Law School (now George Washington University) of Washington, D. C., 
and was admitted to the bar as practicing attorney for the Seattle division of 
the Northern Pacific railroad, a position he still holds, and I doubt if there 
is a better capacitated railway attorney anywhere on the coast.  While Mr. 
Winders, like all such successful attorneys, realizes that litigation, whether 
indulged in by corporation or individual, is costly, and where there are many 
cases that pass through his department that are amicably settled without 
recourse to law, at the same time when he does enter a trial, he maintains 
rigidly every right of his client.  A man possessing thorough knowledge and 
comprehension of the many intricacies and complex problems of his profession, 
he has attained success that is well founded.  In January, 1914, Mr. Winders 
married Miss Anabel Calusen, and the couple have two children.
