QUESTIONS FOR A
FARMER TO ANSWER
He Can't Dodge Them, As They
vitality Affect His Welfare
and Earnings.

A farmer, writing to a friend ahop+
initiative measure No. 10, the com.
pulsory eight-hour law, said:
DO you fully understand what IL
meant by the provision except that
In agricultural labor an additional two
hours per day may be allowed for
work that is unavoidably and neces.
sarily incidental to farm manage
ment?'
IF the trainers of the law intended
that ten hours a day should be the
ordinary limit of work on the farm
would they not have said SO in plain
language?
How are we going to determine
what work is 'unavoidably and neces.
sarily incidental to farm manage
ment?'
IF we guess wrong we will be sub
1ect to fine of from ten to one hun
dred dollars for each offense, and the
court always has the last guess.
do you dare take the chance?
What does incidental mean any
bow?
1.-The New International Dictionary
says IL means happening without de-
sign or as chance feature of some
thing else; casual; accidental; hence,
not of prime concern; subordinate;
collateral. Liable to happen as Of
chance feature or incident
THAT doesn't help much. It does
show. however, that the only safe
thing for us to do would be to work
our help but eight hours in every
twenty-four and but forty-eight hours
in every week of seven days, and not
one minute longer.
Can we manage our farms on an
eighthour day and get the work done
as cheaply as at present?
"If not, are we doing so well that
we can afford to double our labor cost
on week days and, in harvest time,
hire an extra two crews on Sunday?
I'VE can avoid this unjust burden
by voting no on initiative measure No.

theory that Industrial accidents are

NO sane or honest person will for

all accidents that occur in industrial
pursuits are due to the carelessness
or indifference of employers. In fact,
any one who has given the slightest
consideration to this subject, knows
that the accidents that can be CHARGED
to the fault of the employer or the
employers agents are but a small
fraction OF the total accidents that
occur In Industrial pursuits.
las convincing evidence of how bad
ly mistaken. or prejudiced, the franz
ers OF initiative measure No. 9 are in
regard to placing all the blame for
accidents on the employer, 1t is in
teresting to take the report of the
state industrial insurance commission,
dealing with this very question of
fault in industrial accidents. This re-
port, published in 1918, shows as fol-
1owc.
The Lynden tribune. [volume] (Lynden, Wash.) 1908-current, 1914-10-01
1880

"These figures, which are in har-
lions along the same lines, show that
accidents due to the fault of employ
ers and employers agents amount to
less than l per cent of the total, while
the accidents due to the fault Of the
employees themselves amount to ten
per cent Of the total. BY far the great
er proportion of accidents are due to
the risks that are apparently unavoid-
able and inseparable from the trade.
Personally, l believe that many Of
such accidents can and will be pre-
vented through the enforcement Of
safety rules, education of the workers
and improved devices for protecting
dangerous machinery and of conduct
ing hazardous operations. In this,
however, l find the employers taking
Just as active interest as the employ
ees, If for no other reason than that
1t is to their advantage to do SO.
"Now, in the light of the actual
conditions as proved by the figures
above quoted, it is easy to understand
why do not favor the initiative first
aid bill No. 9. That bill places all
responsibility upon the employer for
all accidents and levies all assess
ments against him for compensation
without giving him an opportunity to
have any say in the disposition OF the
funds so raised. In addition 1t places
no limit on the amount that may be
paid out for first aid, in spite Of the
fact that continuous payment will be
received at the same time under the
provisions of the present compensa-
ton law.
This law, would, therefore, levy
double assessment on the employer
and deprive him Of all rights or op-
portunity to guard against unprinci-
pied dissipation of the funds through
collision with dishonest physicians.
Such collision is not likely to occur
frequently, but there should be some
adequate provision to prevent the pos
sibility of 1t ever occurring.
1.-THE first aid problem will never
be settled until 1t is dealt with hon.
estly and without prejudice, and a.
bill, such as initiative measure No. 3,
will only result in doing harm to the
best interests of the employees, be-
cause it Is neither honest nor fair
It would impose an excessive, and in
many cases a prohibitive tax, on the
industries of Washington, and would
arouse such storm OF resentment
that it would probably lead to defens-
i've reprisals that would halt for
long time the progress of all remedial
Industrial legislation in this state. The
American people insist on a square
deal, and they will rebuke any at
tempt to hoodwink them into commit
ting q rank injustice to any group OF
citizens.
For these reasons alone, l earnest
ly hope that the people of Washington
will overwhelmingly vote no on ini-
tiatiye measure No. g."

ANOTHER ORCHARD BLIGHT
Fruit Grower Tells Of New Danger to
His Industry In Washington.

The owner of a ten-acre orchard in
one of the principal fruit districts of
the state said of the eight-hour law !:
the clock, either.
Can we orchardists successfully
grow and harvest our crops on an
eight-hour day basis?
as it possible for us to so arrange
the labor on our place at all seasons
of the year that 1t can be performed
properly and profitably in eight hours
forty eight hours in every week OF
seven days?
when the peaches. apples and 9th.
er fruit are maturing and require pick
ing and packing to preserve and pre-
pare them for market, we cannot limit
the working hours In the orchard to
eight hours each day and leave the
fruit untouched from p. m. Saturday
to a. m. Monday, as would be re,
quired by the forty-eight hour week
provision of the law.
when the harvest season Is on
the fruit must be taken care Of as
quickly as possible and every avail.
able working hour must be employed.
Consequently we orchardists would
find it necessary to employ double
the help we now require throughout
the week and either let the fruit go
from Saturday evening until Monday
morning, or hire brand new crew
for the seventh day.
This means greatly increased labor
cost. Yet the law will in no wise af'
feet the price of our fruit in the mar
kets outside of Washington
Can we continue in business with
this added burden fixed on us by an
unjust and unreasonable law?
Intensive cultivation and mini
mum production cost are the two alb
solutely essential things that can in
sure profit to the orchardist
1.-The eight-hour law would blight
the industry and cause countless loss
to hundreds, yes thousands, who have
invested all they possess In this In
dustry.
"The people Of Washington cannot
afford to invite such disaster or per-
init such an injustice to be inflicted
on any community.
Possibility of this can be prevent
ed by voting no on initiative measure
No. 10, and you can bet that is the
way every orchardist in the state Will

The Lynden tribune. [volume] (Lynden, Wash.) 1908-current, 1914-10-01

Every industry in this state would
be affected by the eight-hour law. 1t
would increase production cost all
along the line, for neither the manag-
er, the foreman, the ,bookkeeper, the
laborer nor the Waterman could work
over eight hours in every twenty-four
nor more than forty-eight hours In
each week. This increased cost would
apply only in this state and would
make competition with similar prod
ucts in other states impossible. The
result would be the closing down OF
industries and the depriving OF hun
dreds and thousands OF wage earners
of work. Do you want such condi
ton here? II not, vote on no initia
