LABOR POLICY
IS ANNOUNCED
BY LUMBERME'N


Pacific Coast Lumbermen, in con-
vention held in Portland, announced
a labor program in which they con-
cede the eight-hour day and other
demands for which the lumber work
ers have contended for a long time
1t is noticeable, however, that the
lumbermen conceded the eight hour
day by order of the Government.
The resolution embodying the new
policy of the employers is as fol-
lows:
"Whereas, mutual understanding
and justice are vital in maintaining
harmony between employees and en-
ployers, we, the lumbermen of the
Pacific Northwest, declare:
81. For the open shob-the right
of any man or woman to work
when capable or needed.
"2. For the basic eight-hour day.
both now and after the war, in the
interest of industrial peace.
SO. For conference committee of
employees in each plant, to be select
ed by the employees for conferences
with their employers on local ques-
tions.
"a For general committee of
employees and employers, to be Sc
lected as Colonel Brice P. Disque
may designate, to act on all gener-
al questions.
IS. We request Colonel Disque to
act as sole arbitrator, and agree to
abide by his decision on all labor
questions that may arise during the
continuance of the war.
Sc. The general council provided
for in article shall prepare and
publish general regulations to gov
ern labor conditions throughout the
industry and provide such amend
ments and revisions as conditions
nay warrant.
~. That in the event of the in
capacity of Colonel Disque to act as
arbitrator during the period of the
war, the general council shall have
rower to select his successor, and
also to select an arbitrator for post
war periods"
One point in the scheme, an ex-
PLANTATION of which will be awaited
with interest by members of organ.
lied labor. is the method of selectinP
the representatives of the employees
who are to serve on the conference
committee. 1t will be remembered
by the reader that the above pro
cram was the work of the employ
ers only. and the proposal to con-
tinue it in effect after the war will
be subject to conditions then eX-
listing and subject to approval by the
workers.-Tacoma Labor Advocate
Another point of interest to or
canized labor is how mutual I'M
Outstanding and justice" mentioned
in the preamble can be had with an
"open shop" declared in No. l. No
mutual understanding can be had
without the recognition of the right
of employees to organize and bar
gain collectively with their en-
ployers on all questions affecting
labor locally and generally as to
wages, working time and working
conditions.
No arrangement will be made
with Col. Disque unless that gentle
man acts as an agent of the Govern
ment and in harmony with the Gov
ernment's recognition of the basic
eight-hour day and the right of
employees to organize and bargain
collectively. That is about as far
as organized labor will go with No.
Nos. 5, and 7 are out of the
question altogether so far as or
ganized labor is concerned.
Organized labor agrees with the
Pacific Coast Lumbermen's Associa-
ton in declaration No. 2.
The labor journal. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1909-1976, 1918-08-16


following agreed upon as the scope
and purpose of the coming confer
ence at Laredo:
Program for Conference.
"First. That an international
conference be held at the earliest
possible date, at the most conven-
nient place on the frontier, at which
shall be represented the American
Federation of Labor and representa-
tives of the organized labor move
ment of Mexico.
"Second. That President Carranza
| and President Wilson of the two
Republics be earnestly requested to
be present at this conference for
such periods as they may deem
proper.
"Third. That the Governors of
the border states be invited to at
tend this international conference
Fourth. That the subjects for
consideration at the international
conference shall be:
"(a) The establishment of the
Pan-American Federation of Labor.
"(b) The establishment of better
conditions for workingmen who emf
CRATE from one country to another.
"(c) The establishment of bet
ter understanding and relationship
between the peoples of the United
States and Mexico.
"(d) To utilize every lawful and
honorable means for the protection
and promotion of the rights, the in
terests and the welfare of the peo-
Piles of the United States and of
Mexico.
"(e) To utilize every lawful and
honorable means for the purpose of
cultivating the most favorable and
friendly relations between the labor
movements, the peoples and the Re-
publics of Mexico and of the United
States"
OF the results to be gained
through closer understanding of
each other on the part of the or
ganized labor movements of the two
countries, the Federationist has the
following to say:
For Mutual Understanding.
"The plan agreed upon in these
conferences is the practical method
of solving the difficulties that inter
fered and still further threaten to
interfere with friendly relations be-
tween Mexico and the United States
By organizing international agencies
that stand for mutual justice and CO.
operation, for common interests,
power and opportunity is taken from
those predatory elements which seek
merely their own gain and special
privileges at the expense of the
people of both countries. A meet
ing of the minds and wills of tn,
masses of two countries represents
new conception of international
diplomacy and a new era in interna
tional relations and organizations.
"When the results of these CO.
operative efforts have proven the
mutual advanta ges to both Mexico
and the United States, we feel as
sured that the beneficient influences
will reach our fellow workers of all
PAN American countries and genu-
inely and firmly establish the Pan
American Federation of Labor to
the lasting friendship, benefit and
fraternity of all the peoples of
these countries"

MEDINA WAY BEHIND
IN w. S. S. SALES

Figured in terms Of the amount Me-
dina county must buy War Savings
stamps each day between now and the
close of the year, the Ohio War Saw
ings Committee has forwarded S. F.
Dimmock, county chairman, schedule
indicating what is expected of his COM
munity if it is to meet it's 1918 quota.
This estimate is based on a balance
of ITO days remaining in 1918, from
Sept. IL. In this county, total cash
sale of War Savings Stamps to that
date reached $190,658, compared with
the county's minimum allotment of
S495, 1000, as fixed by the treasury de-
partment.
If Medina county is to secure a
place on the states Victory List of
counties that pass the War Savings
Stamp quota, sales of these govern
mental securities from Sept. IL must
average $1,000 for every day. The
per capita quota is fixed at 500 by the
treasury department. By meeting
the daily sales allotment, this county
will equal its quota. The per capita
sales on Sept. IL, stood at $7.72, COM
pared with the average quota for each
person in the county of $14.23.
Apparently the most satisfactory
way for this county to meet its quota
is through the sale of War Savings
Stamps in lots of $1,000, the maxi
mum allowed to an individual by the
treasury department.. This limit can
be taken by individuals, firms or cor

sion has no jurisdiction over these

roads are now the same as under lease

eannot regulate the government
F. B. Layman, attorney for the ce-

congress giving control of the railroads
to the president did not take from the
interstate commerce commission its au-
shortly to regulate interstate rates, ex-
cept those which may relate directly
ITO war matters and under the same cir
cumstaneeS ii did not take from the
state commissions their authority to
regulate intrastate rates.
If the commission should make an
order decreasing rates, Attorney Dey
wanted to know to whom would the
commission direct the order, as the
Southern Pacific has no authority over
its lines now. If the order was direct
ed to the govergment, he wanted to
know how would the commission en-
force the order.
Attorney Layman replied that the
Southern Pacific is the acting agent
for the government and the order
would be served upon that company.
The matter was taken under advise
ment.
