SPOKANE LETTER

Spokane, Wash, March S-"There is

vaster importance to Spokane that its
laborers shall he able to live with
uheir families in deccncy and comfort

"On an occasioni such as this, when

wage Is insufficient 10 furnish to the
laborer an income with which to
maintain his family In a proper stan
dard OF living, II Is a fortunate thing
for the city that the competitive
wage is not the most important fac

"A municipality does not use liz
labor for the production OF commodi

ket. There is no competitor TO drive
the city out of the field unless its
labor Is obtained at the lowest possible
competitive price. Hence, economic
conditions do not require this. but In
