LABOR ANGRY OVER
EIGHT HOUR DEFEAT

Organized labor in Spokane has
not been so much riled in a long
time as it is at present over the
manner in which the eight hour fe-
male labor bill was handled in the
house and the senate by represen-
tatives from this part Of the coun-
try. The matter of reconsidering
this bill was postponed indefinitely
in the senate, in spite of the fact
that members of the legislative
committee of the Spokane section
al central labor council sent vari-
Gus kilograms urging that the fight
for its reconsideration should be
kept up tirelessly.
The most bitter defeat that la
boring people have ever expert
enced In our state senate was the
defeat Of the eight hodr female
wage law" declared Secretary
Schubert of the legislative commit
tee of the sectional labor council
this morning.
Defeat was not due to lack of
interest or hard work by the peo-
pie, because II was contested to
the last ditch, but because some of
the men whom we elected to the
senate were false to their promises
and to the trust which the people
