Wallace The assessors of the
Northern counties of Idaho are plan
ming to hold meeting at some access
ible point, probably Spokane, to take
concerted action concerning the sweep
ing innovations that will be made in
their work by the recent ruling of the
governor and state board that all
assessments shall be made on a full
cash value basis. They are awaiting
the official notices which are to be
sent from Boise. 1t is thought that
these notices will throw the burden Of
making the cash value assessment
squarely upon the assessors, with no
hope of shifting the responsibility.

those sections of the measure calling

and emphatically SO. that compare

yet been received at the headquar-
tiers OF the American Federation Of
Labor, in respone to the appeal sent
out on May 6, 1911. It is necessary
that there be sufficient funds to-

THE RETAIL CLERKS

ST. LOUIS. June 29.-The retail
clerks of East S.. Louis, Ill, after
a three days strike, have won
signal victory. In the past it has
been practically an unknown circum-
stance among the retail clerks to
cease work as a protest against un-
ta1r conditoisn. However, during the
last few months. three organizations
of retail clerks in the state of Illinois
lave struck against unfair conditions
and the outcome of these strikes has
been exceedingly successmful.

BY Carl D. THOMPSON.

The position of the present city
administration in Milwaukee on or
ganized labor and on labor in general
was sp1endidly illustrated in the mes
sage og Mayor Seidel, upon assuming
office at the time that the Socialists
captured the city, April 18th, 1910.
That part of the message reads as fol-
lows:
''The workers Of our city are its
most valuable asset. Your attention
should be directed to the passage Of
such measures as will promote the
well-being of this class of citizens,
safeguard health, check any tendency,
to encroach upon such q few rights
as the workers still enjoy, aud where
ever possible extend for them the op-.
portunity Of life. 80.
I'm this direction a number Of
steps can be taken. The administra-;
ton should constantly watch over the
conditions prevailing in factories,
workshops and places Of employment,
with regard to sanitation. There
should at all times be, a full and
hearty cooperation with state factory
inspectors in the enforcement e.. OF
measuers providing for industrial n.y.
giene. 49,: q.
Contracts to be let by the city are
awarded to the lowest bidder: This
does not preclude the right Of the city
as q corporation to demand compl-
ance with certain specifications Thus.
the quality and treatment of materials
may be specified to insure economy.
It is the height of absurdity to con-
tend that this should not hold good
with regard to labor. The conten-
ton that the city cannot, as an econo-
mic precaution, specify the treatment
of labor. 10 a violation Of the right of
free contract, right enjoyed by corpor-
atoms and individual employers.
Therefore in contracts to be let by
the city, the specifications should
provide for hours OF labor, that are
not exhausting; that leave . magin of
time for rest and development. Such
specifications should also provide for
sufffciency OF light ana ventilation;
they should prohibit child labor aud
properly protect woman labor, and
and prevent tho imposition upon
workers of degrading conditions"
The Milwaukee Socialists have
struggled for years to get the city to
use the union label on all Of the city
printing. This fight has finally been
successful. s,aa=
- The resolution was rrst introduced
by Alderman WEIGH, (socialist),s in
1904. From that time on 1t was reg
ularly- brought into the council and
as regularly defeated. until in 1909
an amendment to another resolution
brought In by Alderman weiley, (so~
cialist), finally passed. Meanwhile
the enemies Of organixed labor had
fought the efforts Of the Socialists to
secure the union label on city printing
