frantic effort to secure expert
enced' men for work in the SpO-

through sheer loss and jeopardy of

forced to accede to the union
switchmen's demands.
Out of the 81 members of the
Switchmen's Union of North Amer
lea who walked out of the Northern

per cent of the men are declared to
be still out, fighting for an increase
in daily wages from 1920 to $3.50

paid under the old scale and above
all, demanding the elimination or
at least modification of the phys

are put to.

HOURS HERE
WORKING GIRLS MUST WORK
LESS HOURS, SAYS THE
LABOR COUNCIL.
RESOLUTIONS PASSED

Organizes labor in Spokane has
pledged Its support to a movement
to bring about earlier closing hours
In the stores and shops, in order
that the working days Of the shop
girls and clerks may be shortened.
This was done last night at a reg
ular weekly meeting of the Spo-
kane Sectional Labor council, when
resolutions embodyins the agree
ment Of labor unionists to do their
shopping before 6 o'clock on Satur-
day night were adopted.
Deputy State Labor Commission
err Mrs. Mason is interested in the
movement and spoke in its behalf
at this assemblage. Merchants who
have been prevailed upon to short
en- the Saturday working shifts of
the young girls and the clerks
working in their places of business
declared that it was practically
next 10 impracticable at the pres
ent time because of the fact that,
though labor unions were asking
1t, their members comprised near
ly 80 per cent of the patrons of
their places of business after the
hour of s o'clock Saturday night
and at least 25 per cent of those
who bought after that hour on ev-
cry other day in the week.
To comply with this agreement,
it will be necessary for the forma-
ton of a radically new scheme
among the labor unionists in or
der that they may be able to do
any shopping at all. 1t may either
be decided to do the shopping at
noon or to work for a partial holt
day on Saturday afternoons.
