EIGHT.HOUR DAY
MADE A Law.
The Republican Administration
Made Promises But Wilson
Made Them Laws

Some Of our Republican and
Progressive friends have COM
planned at the President because
he has seen fit to put into law
and practice many of their plat.
form promises. 1t must be ad-
mitted that the Preside5t has
done this in some instances, but
that it is a just cause for COM
plant few will concede-
To illustrate, when Roosevelt
stood sponsor for Taft in 1908
and had him nominated, the
Republican Platform expressed
great pride in Tine wise policy
which has induced the Republi-
can partyst, matain protection 10
American'labor, to establish the
eight hour day in the construc-
tion Of all public work. "
In 1912, when Taft allied him
sells with the stand patters. AND
Roosevelt led the great revolt,
the Republican platform was
strangely silent on the labor
question, but the progressive
platform was pronounced in its
advocacy Of the Eight hour day.
During the Wilson administr-
atiVn laws have been passed by
congress placing all government
work on the eight hour bases,
and the present Republican plat
form upon which Mr.. Hughes is
running approves those laws by
saying we pledge the Republican
Party to the faithful enforce
ment of all Federal laws passed
for the protection Of labor.
The Republican Party in elec.
tion times has always been pro-
fuse in platform promises of
progressive legislation. T h e
strength of the Wilson admins
tration consists in a REGARD Of
platform pledges redeemed by
laws enacted to put them into
practice. The Republicans do
not and can not assail them. As
to some of them then can only
say, we suggested them" 3"
The pity is that they would do
no more. 1t took Wilson to put
them on the statute book.

point and was greatly enjoyed
by all who heard it.
The reports on the various
causes fostered by the Baptist
Denomination were read and
adopted; all of them were en-
couraging and stand as proof
that the great work of helping
to evangelize the world is being
carried forward by the Baptists
within the bounds of the Ohio
River Association.
After the report on the Ken.
tucky Baptist Children's Home
was read, an offering was called
for by Bro. 7. A. Conway which
resulted in the messengers pledg-
ing for the churches, the sum of
$1,000 for the purpose of buy
ing one acre of the Home farm;
also a cash collection of $45.05 to
apply on the RUNNING expenses
of the home.
Bro. Terry Martin called for
an offering to be used as an edu-
cational fund, for Bro. w. w.
Crouch, who will enter Bethel
College, which resulted in the
sum of about S15S. 90; s12O.25 of
same being paid in cash and the
balanced promised.
Bro. r. A. Barnes our Associ-
ational Missionary was present
and the Association voted to con-
tince his services and instructed
the district board to purchase a

Caldwell Spring church in Crit

R. R. CONTROVERSY
HAS Been SETTLED
This Article Was Written So You
Understand How il Start
ed And Ended

The four Brotherhoods of rail-
road trainmen presented their
demands six months ago to the
railroad companies for an eight
hour basis working day, and
other radical changes in some
working conditions.
When these demands were
presented, the railroads refused
them entirely.
The Brotherhood chiefs then
submitted to their men whether
or not to call a strike, and more
than three -fourths of them vot
ed for it. Then the railroads
proposed to srbitrs.e al points
including the eight hour day.
The men agreed to arbtrate
ali poinis but the eight hour day,
And why? Because, as they
said, and it is aomlued. three
'ourrhs Of the trainmvn already
work on The eight hour basis,
and a number of railroads apply
the eiga!.t hour day 70 all train
service. On all railroads. eight
hours is the basic day for all
through passenger and freight
traffic, and covers three fourths
of the trainmen. The ten hour
day applies only to local freight
and passenger crews.
In rejecting the proposal to ar
bitrate, the trainmen asked this
question, why jeopardize pri-

men already possess for a chance

After patently hearing both

that the differences were relat.
lively small-the brotherhoods
were asking for one fourth of
the trainmen the same privilege
the eight hour day which the
other three fourths were enjoy
ing. He suggested as a remedy
that the railroads tentatively
grant the demand in order to
have a through trial of it. He
promised to appoint a committee
of experienced men to observe
the workings Of il, and report
the results to congress. In this
way it could. best be- determined
as the president argued, whether
it was right or wrong and wheth.
er operating expenses would be
increased, and whether a raise
in traffic rates would be necess.

could provide the remedy.

So far as the outside markets are
concerned, DR.. Carlyon points out that
the club could sell local potatoes in
the Seattle and Tacoma markets for
$3.50 ton less than Yakima spuds
and still make as good profit as the
Yakima growers, because of the ad-
vantage in freight rates in favor of
the local growers.
The organizers of the club want
as many farmers to join as they can
get, of course, but whether farmer
intends to join or not, they want him
to attend Saturdays meeting.
