Considerable criticism has recently
been directed against the scheme Of
organized Labor to hold its annual con-
ventions bienaly at Olympia simultane-
ously with the sessions of the state
Legislature. So strong a sentiment
against insidious lobbying has devel-
oped in both state and nation that the
people now will not tolerate such eff
forts to NEEDLE in the business Of duly
elected lawmakers. So sharply has the
holding of the labor convention at
Olympia been condemned that Organ
lied Labor leaders now see their mis-
take and in the future their gatherings
will be held at more suitable points.

According to statistics compiled by
State Labor Commissioner Olson, which
appears in his annual report, organized
labor in this state has 10000 due-pay-
ing members. Close to 10000 en-
ployees in the state come under the
extra hazardous provisions OF the State
Compensation Act. Figuring the en-
ployes Of the state on the basis of that
number, organized labor would repre-
sent about II per cent of the employ
es OF the state. But, as a matter OF
fact, the unorganized employees in
Washington number more than quar-
ter OF million, so the best that or
ganized labor can be given is about
s per cent.-Ex.
