The labor organization has been fore
most IN advocating the reforms which

The labor organization has also con
tributed toward the shortening Of the
hours OF toll. and u should not cease rs

slstent and persistent advocate OF the doc
trine OF arbitration. although II IL diffI-
cult to see why the bur5eg Of this reform
should be thrown upcn the iaborinn man.
Surely the employer. Il ne would take a
