ANOTHER CAMPAIGN
STORY NAILED.

The latest antic Of the employing
forces fighting the initiative eight hour
bill is to try to make it appear that
Samuel Gompers, President of the
American Federation of Labor, is op-
posed to the eight hour law proposed
in this state. Telephone poles, vacant
buildings, bill boards, are covered with
placards brazenly asserting that Sam
Gompers is against the eight hour bill
1t is a piece of Misrepresentation on
the part of whoever is responsible for
the circulation. Some time ago Sam
uel Gompers contrasted the shorter
workday secured through an economic
organization as secured through legis-
lation. He contended that the shorter
workday secured through legislative
enactment was harder to enforce be-
cause of the fact that workmen would
be prone to depend upon the statute
law being enforced by public officials
and would neglect the organizations of
labor. 1t was his contention that a
strong aggressive, organized labor
movement was necessary to see to it
that labor laws were obeyed and that

SEC. WILSON
BLAzES TRAIL
UNCLE SAM HANDS JOLT TO
EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES
TO ESTABLISH ONE OF HIS
OWN.

Secretary William B. Wilson, our
own Billy" Wilson, has started things
going, and the newly organized Federal
Department of Labor is going to try
and help the jobless man to the man
less job.
Secretary Wilson has arranged for
practical cooperation between his own
force, the Post-Office Department and
he Department of Agriculture, some
thing out of the ordinary, for these
big departments of the government
seldom work together.
In practical operation he is organiz-
ing the United States into number of
districts in each of which he will
have a labor employment headquart-
ers, under an officer Of the govern
ment from the immigration Service
who, through the newspapers, local
immigration offices and rural mail car
riers postmasters, etc, will advise
farmers and others needing men of
and will attend to bringing the man
and the job together.
For the past six or seven years the
immigration Bureau has conducted a
Division of Information in Washing
ton designed to let people know where
work was plentiful; it has run an
employment office on a small scale
in New York City. At last Secretary
Wilson has taken hold Of and intends
making it a practical, living organiza-
ton. 1t is hoped to have it in work
ing order before the first of the New
Year.
Inspector Lawrence Wood has been
given charge of the local district Of
flee and is actively engaged in get
ting affairs in shape. His headquart-
ers are in Seattle.

SAMUEL GOMPERS,
President A. F. of L.
During the hearings before the
House Committee on Labor in 1904 on
the then proposed eight hour law for
federal employees, Mr.. Gompers said:
1--WE have been asked, how far does
this bill go?"' How far do you want
it to go? If we are candid, and we
desire to be, as to far, we would an

JUDGES AND BAR ASSO-
CITATION WAKE UP.

At the American Bar Association
meeting in Washington, D. c., this
month signs of an awakening of the
courts and lawyers to their own short
comings were plentiful President
Wilson addressed the assemblage, call
ing for humanizing of law, for more
justice and less legal citations, Former
President Taft, whose love OF judges
and love of courts typified what he
hoped to meet in the hereafter, in
heaven, or elsewhere, we are not sure
which, called upon the judges there
assembled for the first time in formal
meeting, to remove delays in litiga-
ton.
Associate Justice McReynolds, who
will be better remembered as Attor-
ney-General Of the United States, but
who is now a member of the United
States Supreme Court, urged the
courts to give more attention to public
opinion, a truly remarkable thing. De
lays, he said often robbed parties
of the fruits of decisions.
At a night session, stand-pat Sena-
tor Elihu Root of New York, a former
corporation lawyer, talking on the
average mans criticism of the lawyer,
went still further and said the lawyers
should apply the rules of evidence
with more regard to common sense.
We wonder what the corporation
controlled lot of legislators in Olympia,
who eXpunged Representative John f.
Campbell's speech about the courts
from the House record four years ago,
have to say to the happenings of the
Bar Association? They said a var
iety of unpleasant thing about both
Johnny" and his remarks, then wiped
his remarks off the slate. We wonder
if they will do the same to the dis
tinguished gentlemen of the American
Bar Association?
While we are recovering from the
shock let us remember that opportun-
ity to do a little housecleaning among
the judges of our own supreme couN
is right with us, and next Tuesday,
Election Day, a vote for w. H. Penn
berton and E. G. Mills will help to
put the right kind Of judges in our
court of last resort.

The pamphlets recently issued and
given wide circulation concerning the
administration of Sheriff McRae are
uncalled for and malicious. The au-
thor of the pamphlet should be made
to prove his charges. Sheriff McRae
is amply able to protect himself
against such unfounded charges, but
the Journal cannot refrain from eX-
pressing its opinion concerning this
style of campaigning. Sheriff McRae
has been an exceptionally able and
conscientious official and this eley-
enth hour campaign dope will not in
jure him with the voters.

ried out that statement Mr.. Gompers
would prefer that the shorter work
day came through economic organiza-
tion as he believes that working peo-
pie appreciate better working condi-
tions, which come to them through
their own sacrifice and struggle Mr..
Gompers is for the shorter work day,
lock, stock and barrel, the only ques-
tion in his mind being the best method
to attain and then to hold that indus
trial condition.
