48 Hours

Olympia, Wash, Dec. 29.-The the
ory that an eight-hour work day can
be secured by the easy process of
legislative enactment appeals to some
unionists, but these workers have
again been awakened to the devious
ways by which this legislation may be
weakened and nulhfied by Judge
Wright, of the Thurston county SUI
perior court.
The court has ruled that station
workers" under road and railroad
contractors are not employees but sub
contractors, and this decision, if sus.
tanned by the state supreme court
means the wiping out of the eight
hours public works law, according t
Labor Commissioner Olson. Chair
man Daggart of the industrial insur-
ance commission is quoted as sayine
that the decision opens the doors for
limitless evasions of the workmen' 3
compensation act.
State officials hold that station
workers are merely laborers paid on
piece basis and the employer is re-
sponsible both for assessments on
their accounts for industrial insurance
and for violation Of the eight-hour
law. It is now claimed that Judge
Wright's ruling will permit public
works contractors and many loggers
and lumbermen to put practically all
their work on piece basis and not
only violate the eight-hour law but
destroy the effectiveness of the state
compensation act.

There are many people WIZ believe

The compound Of simple laxative

BUILD TWO BRIDGES NOW
TO Make REAL SAVINGS
SOUTH SIDE men SAY

That the county could save thou
sands Of dollars on the construction of
the Main street bridge and the South
Side bridge II the commissioners
would decide to build both bridges
and would let the contracts at the
same time. II the opinion OF property
owners on the South Side who are
anxious to have the South Side bridge
built within the next few years. They
argue that by next year the South
Side bridge sinking fund will be al
most large enough to pay for bridge.
This money cannot be used for any
other purpose and since the bridge
must be built It would be advisable to
let both contracts at once, allowing
the contractors to offer q better price
on both of them.
Since the Main street bridge ques-
tion took form there Is considerable
fear among the South Siders that the
commissioners will shelve the south
side bridge problem for the time being
because Of the overwhelming import
ance Of the Main street question. The

MASS MEETING CALLED
TO DISCUSS Plan FOR
MAIN STREET BRIDGE

At an informal meeting of interest
ed representative citizens Of Rich
rond and vicinity, 1t was unanimously
decided that in order to be of the
greatest possible assistance to , the
board of county commissioners and to
the county council. and to furnish a
medium through which the taxpayers
may be able to express their wishes
and preferences in reference to the
construction Of a permanent bridge to
span the river at Main street, there
should be appointed citizens COM
mittee OF not less than one hundred
men representing all parts of the
county to assist In devising ways and
means to construct a permanent con-
crete bridge In keeping with the his
tory and importance of the great high
way OF which 1t is an integral part
and the extensive communities accom-
modated by such a structure.
This action is in no sense intended
to reflect on the integrity and ability
OF the commissioners or council, but
to be OF use to them in helping to
overcome whatever difficulties may
stand in the way of the realization
and consummation of a model struc-
ture that shall not only serve this gen.
Grafton but for generations to follow,

great majority OF the taxpayers of the
county.

GRIP EPIDEMIC
CLAIMS VICTIMS
NUMBERING 200

According to statements made by
local physicians today there is an
epidemic Of grip spreading over the
country and 1t has hit Richmond
pretty hard it being estimated that
physicians are attending over 200
people suffering from the disease.
The epidemic is thought to have
started in the east and spread rapidly
westward beginning to NOW down its
victims about two weeks ago.
Physicians attribute the spread Of
the disease to the Indictment weather
of the last two weeks. Richmond has
been treated to every variety the
weather man has. Rain, snow, and
sleet with a few warm days interven-
ing has doomed the stock of the doc
tors at the cost of much suffering on
the part of those unfortunate enough
to be stricken.

commissioners. however, insist that
the south side bridge project will not
be dropped a. has been intimated but
that both bridges will be built within
the next two or three years.
Should the commissioners decide
the first Of the year to build bridge
on the South Side. the sinking fund
would be available and by the time the
bridge would be completed there would
be enough money in the fund to pay
for the structure. It is not believed that

The site has not been determined.
The negotiations now pending be-
