The above was received today.
ISSUE AT WALLACE.
That the State Federation of Labor
which meets in Wallace on Monday
will thresh out the situation with ref
erence to Idaho's workmen's compen-
sation commission, is the belief of la
Dor leaders here. The filing of charges
with Governor Alexander by the exc
cutive board asking for the removal of
the president Of the commission because
of - candidacy for United States
marshal which is alleged to be in vo-
lation of the law itself, and an alleged
political trade. therein referred to, Is
taken as a forerunner that the labor
representatives at their conference next
week will thresh out the matter thor
oughly.
NO ACTION BY GOVERNOR.
Governor Alexander has not as yet
taken action on the petition for re-
moval before him. The wording of
tHlS petition, WINE concerning tne &c
ton taken allowing casualty surety
companies to compete with the state
insurance department which 1t is
| claimed is against the interest of la
Dor, indicates the labor leaders are
centering their fight on the chairman
OF the commission and not the other
two members.
1t is held in the petition that the
rulings of the board in letting the cas-
ualty companies in an effort has been
made to deal to the state fund almost
death blow in that it has made it a
competitor against irresponsible So
| licitation which will not even stop
short of Justification and has trans
ferred the burden of expense upon the
state which is clearly against the in
tention of the legislature.
Therefore we, the executive board
of the Idaho State cNderation of La
| Dor, do hereby enter cur most solemn
| protest against this violation of both
the letter and the spirit of this law
whose enactment was so earnestly
sought by us for the benefit of the

The average woman is not so anxious about getting

to be done for her own family.

"The gubernatorial contest promises to become ex-

and Anderson the latter getting the Prohibition vote
away from Withycombe. Whether Moser can get back

GERMAN PEACE ADVOCATES ACTIVE

Germany is fighting in the last ditch Her people at
last have realized the hopeessness of the struggle
and their iron determination is shattered Strikes and
dissensons are only natural and these will grow as the
winter season. with its privatons drags The pres
ent unrest may be queled for the time but it only
presages greater disturbances if peace is not concluded
before the spring campaign opens and the evergroWng
allied army recruited from American training camps,
hurls it fresh well fed well equipped millions against the
western battle line.
Peace may be concluded at any time without destroy
ing Germany as nation upon the terms outlined by
President Wilson and the people know it. True her
wings will be clipped and her dreams of worldwide
military conquest are destroyed but that is all The in
demnity required to rebuild Belgium and Northern
France would not be greater than the expenses of an
additional year of war; money that would be expende
useessly added to further sacrifice of hundreds of
thousands of lives. The ceding Of AsaceLorrane to
France would not be a serious loss
The people of Germany are war-weary, the glamour
of conquest has faded and boodshed and suffering has
effaced all satisfaction that might from victory
even if that were possible in the end.

victorious peace but the people no longer with them
