How much time each day is taken
up in feeding and watering the stock,
Harvesting and embarrassing the
teams, and doing the numberless other
chores about the place before and af-
fer the work in the field? If these
things must all be done within eight
hours, how much time would be left
for actual work in the field? These
are things that each farmer who en-
ploys help at any season must con-
slider in view of the proposed eight
hour bill initiative measure No. 10.

This makes It &ppesr that these
petitions were initiated BY less than
two per cent Of the people Of this
state, and has given rise to q great
deal Of adverse criticism Of q law
which makes possible such an abuse
Of the Initiative Principle.
Friends Of the Initiative maintain
that II is designed to represent and
give expression to the desires and de-
mands Of the people and was never
intended as an instrument for any
small fraction or partisan clique Of
citizens to use to the disadvantage Of
the state.

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

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:
n live by work and don't work by
the clock, either.
"Can we orchardists successfully
grow and harvest our crops on an
eight-hour day basis?
Els it possible for US to so arrange
the labor on our place at all seasons
Of the year that It. can be performed
properly and profitably in eight hours
in each day Of twenty.four hours and
torty-eight hours in every week of
seven days?

pare them for market, we cannot limit
the working hours in the orchard to

Quired by the forty.eight hour q week

find 1t necessary to employ double
the help We now require throughout
the week and either let the fruit go
from Saturday evening until Monday

This means greatly increased labor
cost. Yet the law will in no wise at.

kets outside Of Washington.
Can We continue in business viii
this added burden fixed on US by an
unjust and unreasonable law?
Intensive cultivation and a mini.
mum production cost are the two alb.
solutely essential things that can in
sure profit to the orchardist.
"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.

"The people Of Washington cannot
afford to invite such disaster or per.

on any community.
Possibility of this can be prevent
ed by voting no on initiative measure

way every orchardist in the state will
vote"

EIGHT HOUR LAW
Initiative Measure No. 10 Is Strongest
Argument Against Law.

Be it enacted by the People Of the
State of Washington:
1t shall be unlawful for any person,
corporation. company or joint stock
association to cause, require or per
nit any male or female employee in
his, her, or its employ, to work more
than eight hours during any day Of
twenty.four hours, nor more than
forty.eight hours during any week Of
seven days, except that in agricultural
labor an additional two hours per day
may be allowed for work which is un.
avoidably and necessarily incidental
to farm management.
Provided, however, that in case Of
extraordinary emergency, such as dan
ger to life or property. or where such
eight-hour limit would unavoidably
and necessarily prevent other workers
other industrial unit from working the
full eight.hour day the hours for work
may be further extended. but in such
cases the rate Of pay for time EN-.
ployed in excess Of eight hours OF
each calendar day shall be one and
ons.haK the rate Of pay allowed for
the same amount Of time during eight
hours service.
If for any reason any Of the provis-
ions Of this act shall be adjudged un.
constitutional and invalid it shall not
affect the validity Of the act as a
whole or any other part thereof.
Any employer, overseer, superin-
tendent or other agent Of any employ
er. who shall violate any Of the pro-
visions of this act. shall, upon convic-
ton thereof, be fined for each offense
in sum not less than ten dollars nor
more than one hundred dollars for
each day during which such violation
continues.

c. Buck, manager of the eight-hour
law campaign, said in an address at
Seattle: after we have succeeded
in securing the universal eight-hour

LAW NOT REPRESENTATIVE
Measures Are initiated BY Less Than
Two Per Cent Of the People.

Two Per Cent Of the People.
The total number of names reQuir-
ed on an initiative petition to get
measure on the ballot is ten per cent
of the total vote for Governor at the
last preceding election. or this year,
1886 valid signatures.
The petitions filed at Olympia on
July Bird of this year contained:
32,437 names on No. I:
33.106 names on No. 8:
32,825 names on No. 8;
1926 names on No. 10;
21.42S names on No. II:
32,412 names on No. IL.
For several reasons, such az the
initiating Of petitions before securing
signatures; improper initiating. az
specified by law; initiating Of names
by unauthorized person. duplication
Of signatures, and more than one
name signed BY the same person. the

Some legislative History.

The reason Washington has no first
aid legislation at this time is that no
one had, at the session of 1913, SUI
ficient information on the subject.
The industrial insurance commission
Of Washington opposed proposed legis.
lation at that time.
For two years the labor commits.
sioner and the industrial insurance
commission have been getting facts
on this subject not only from the ex-
perience of other states, but have OBJ
tanned essential facts from foreign
countries where such laws exist
The legislature stood ready to pass
q measure that the authorized COM
missions could guarantee as solu-
ton of the problem, but all agreed in
1913 that two years investigation of
the subject would enable Washington
to frame good law. and the governor
in a speech at Tacoma on August 80,
denounced the proposed initiative
measure No. 9 as dangerous make
shift and piece of injurious legisla-
ton. He reiterated the statement that
working out the problem with facts
gathered from all parts of the world
and would be able to present a Just
and adequate measure to the legis-
lature.
Measure No. 9 of the Seven Sis
tiers" was prepared by men who know
nothing of the subject and their en-
tire object is to place an unjust bur-
den on the .-.dustries of Washington.
When the work on the farm requires
extra help, the farmers wife has to
have help in the kitchen. Under an
eight-hour law such help could be
employed but eight hours in each "a
and but As hours each week. That
would mean double lthe usual number
of house help during the week and
extra help for Sunday

If you or any member of your fam.
lily become so i'll that it is necessary
to employ nurse, under the eight
hour law you would have to have a
different nurse for each eight hours
in every "a hours and three extra
nurses for Sunday. In a case of life
or death you could not consider cost
and yet there would be many cases
in which the cost would be prohibi
tive.
