AcTTVITIEs on LABOR

The activities of organized labor in
the field of legislation is one of the
hopeful signs of the times. There is
not a State in the union now but
where organized labor has its regular
legislative committees and these are
actively engaged in pushing bills for
the betterment Of conditions. The list
OF subjects presented for action is
constantly increasing dealing with
such problems as compensation laws,
child labor, old age and mothers pen
sion, municipal loan and employment
offices, sanitary inspection of factor
les and workshops and the entire
scope of remedial legislation of this
character.
Organized labor is the most active
exponent OF all these reform meas
ures and is pushing them energetically
and with assurances of ultimate sue
cess. We do not believe there is a
legislative assembly in the United
States that does not treat organized
labor with the greatest consideration.
The unions have justified themselves
and are now universally recognized
as most important factors in the shap-
ing of legislation.
This is as it should be. Surely the
workers should have the chief voice
in the making Of the laws under which
their lives are to be spent

who pilots life's bark to a better
shore, still the dip of his oar is al
ways attended with deepest xegret
and heartrending sadness on the part
of friends and loved ones of the de-
parted;
Therefore, Be it Resolved, That we
bow our heads in humble submission
to the omnipotent will of an all-wise
Creator; that we extend our heartfelt
sympathy to our Brother Buckley and
other dear ones of the family, with the
hope that our Heavenly Father in
Ills infinite goodness may give them

GOOD TIMES ARE HERE

There is but one sentiment express
ed by the business men of Boise in
private and public utterances and that
Is that business for the first two
months of the present year is better
than it was year ago. The improve
,nent is substantial, but is felt in vary
ing degrees by individuals
There are number of factors at
work to produce this result The
great wave of prosperity that is
sweeping over the east is bound to
reach the western limits of the coun-
try. This is the primal basis. But
there are local causes that cannot be
overlooked The wool growers OF
Idaho have enjoyed. upon the whole.

IN THE POLITICAL FIELD

The Gem Worker is not political
paper and has no concern with po-
litical matters excepting as these af-
feet organized labor. However, the
subject of politics is becoming upper
most in the minds of the people and
The Gem Worker purposes to be alert
III this field in behalf of candidates
fair to labor and whose records will
governorship it would appear that
there will be no opposition to the re-
nomination of Governor Alexander
by the Democrats-and as far as
events tested the present Chief Ex-
ecutive he has proven himself to be
friend of the worker lie endeav-
ored to secure the passage of a good
and workable compensation law, but
the corporation forces in the legisla-
ture sent to him makeshift and one
sided act, which he promptly vetoed
after ascertaining that the laborers
would prefer such action and a new
fight this year for better measure.
In the Republican field. Hon. d.
w. Davis, Of American Falls. gen
tleman of large interests, and who is
regarded as a leading factor in the de-
velopment Of his section, appears to
be far in the lead as a gubernatorial
candidate. He has the active support
of Senator Brady, with his large fol-
lowing, and has been pronounced sat
isfactory by Senator Borah. which
gives him prestige with the leaders Of
the party and would seem to insure
his nomination although matters
have not sufficiently crystalized in
his party to make a prediction not
subject to change. 1t is general,
conceded in Republican circles that
northern Idaho could have the nomi-
nation il the clans there wcoud
only get together but as usual, there
are a number of candidates from that
section, which practically insures the
nomination to a southern Idaho man
where the freponderance Of votes are
cast
One slightly puzzling factor is that
besides Hon. d. w. Davis there is
Captain z. c. Davis. of Boise, also
candidate for the same nomination
This will lead to some confusion in
the minds OF the voters.

has been resumed at the Barber Lum-
Der mills, and the wages paid the men

at work in the mines OF Boise basin,

ton and contraction are over and a
year of expansion and investment is
at hand.

BOOM IN SHIPBU1LD1NG

observation-disclosures to the federal
bureau of navigation show that manv
American shipyards, crowded Will
work as never before in their history,
are refusing all contracts calling for
new types of vessels and conAnind
construction to those of types fot
which construction plans already have
been drawn. The amount of tonnage
under construction in American yards
has doubled within the last year Il
has increased nearly so per cent since
the first of December, and yards arc
so filled with orders that many have
work that will keep them steadily EN-
ployed until we'll into 1917. Thirty
nine ships have been completed since
last July Thebureau reports that TIL
tendency is toward larger vessels. OF

between 1000 and 10000. Department
officials are investigating the claim
that structural steel may be used ih

cessful, it is declared vessel building
will not only be cheapened, but an
immense advantage will be given tp

steel is produced in such large quanti-
