THE LABOR PEACE BOARD.

Secretary of Labor Wilson, through his com.
mission of twelve members five representing en-
poyers, five employees and two the general pub
lie, appears to have hit upon an agency which
labor peace. This commission, which meets next
Tuesday. it is hoped will result in agreements by
the national leaders of all sides of the question on
basic principles for industrial relationship which
will govern the governments national labor pol
icy throughout the war.
The general policy of the government and the
policy which this commission will probably be
asked to endorse is set forth as being: general
wage increases, basic eight-hour day, time-and-
a-half overtime regular work days, double
time on holidays and Sundays and the open or
closed shop to be maintained according to con-
dtions prevailing in the individual shops before
the war.
This is program which certainly gives the
workingman even break, and that is all he has
right to ask or expect and it is all, as matter
of fact, the substantial, conscientious working
man wants Let us hope that the commission is
able, such al-round reasonable basis as this,
to provide that coordination of activities and in
terests which the nation must have and is further
able so to impress upon the men in the ranks the
desire and the ability of the government to see
that they get square DEAL that the agitator, the
so-called leader who is generally stirring up
thing to keep his job on the union payroll, finds
his wings clipped.

SOLDIERS AND POLITICS.

The Seattle Post Intellgencer got something
out Of its system the other day regarding politics
of the future which it will be well for whole lot
of us to keep in mind. Referring to the telegram
sent by Chairman Hurley Of the shipping board
the latter part of last week to the striking carpen
tiers in the Atlantic coast shipyards, it comment
ed: @4S#ss8 85sH 8*8S
II would be well for all profteers, big and lit
tie, to remember Mr.. Hurley's words about the
boys in danger in the trenches Those boys are
coming back to this country some day, and they
are coming back with bond of organization with
2 common experience Of hardships and dangers,
that will unite them into compact body that will
have to be reckoned with in the political strug-
giles Of the future. If they come back convinced
that either capital or labor has added to their
risks for the sake Of profits or wages, they will
/ make themselves heard in every hamlet of the
land. And their mothers and fathers sisters and
brothers will join with them to make the day Of
reckoning memorable
The United States has had one example of
postbellum political organization and nothing is
more certain than that there will be another, and
it beh0Oves us who are winning the war at home
in safety and in comfort to conduct ourselves so
that there may be no cause for retaliation
just keep those boys in mind-they re going to
have lot to say during the next forty or fifty
years, and they aren't going to be bit backward
about saying it.

PRESIDENT WILSON AND STRIKES.

No body of men have the moral right in
the present circumstances of the nation to
strike until every method of adjustment has
been tried to the limit. If you do not act
upon this principle you are undoubtedly CIV
ing aid and comfort to the enemy, whatever
may be your conscious purpose.
These are the words of President Wilson, the
best friend and the most patient that organized
labor has had in the national councils of the
ton Coming from him. the president of the
United States and the commander-in-chief of the
army and navy in the greatest in which the
nation has ever engaged they point straightly to
the path of duty for every worker in war in
dustry. They epitomize what is without doubt
the overwhelming public sentiment of the nation,
sentiment that is going to demand some form of
drastic action if organized labor does not guide
itself by that principle more uniformly in the
future than it has in the past year of the war.
Lip loyalty" so-called, whether it be from
the type Of men who try to put over something
like the Hog Island fabricating shipyard scandal
Or from the ship carpenters union, doesn't 60
any longer with the president of the United
6tates That is plain. He personally ordered an
investigation Of the Hog Island scandal by the
attorney general Of the United States, with a
New to criminal proceedings; and he personally
ut the above message to the president of the
oaxpenters' union. He is going to demand action
\ -. where heretofore he has been patient, unu-
analIy patient, and willing to grant those who
apole the benefit Of good intentions

/ PAVING The WAY.

SIX Of the big logging firms Of Thurston and
sNanon counties have formally adopted the eight
hour Basic day, though they expect to operate
their camps nine hours and pay time-anda-
hal" for the hour overtime. Thus they are paw
ing the way for industrial peace this summer,
rather than the turmoil Of which we even now
hear murmnrings in other sections.
Let us hope that their associate lumbermen
throughout the state follow their example and
thus organize their industry for steady produc-

day and paying its men overtime accordingly,
than not to be working at ALL
Incidentally, they will be adopting the pro-

THE SCHOOL ELECTION.

Early next month the patrons of the Olympia
school district will have an opportunity to inject
some new blood into their public school affairs,
treatment that is sorely needed The rumpus at
the high school last fall smoothed over of course
until now everything appears serene, is merely
indicative of conditions through the whole school
system, conditions which of course do not make
for the best.
This newspaper hasn't any candidate for the
school board 1t sincerely hopes however, tina,
the patrons of the district have and that they will
unite in rejuvenating the board which directs
school affairs. Let get some spirit, SOME enthu-
siasm, some interest, some real popularity and
thereby some real work, into our school affairs

STAMFORD
Special to The Times.)

Stratford, April 5-Charged with violating the auto traffic law and run ming to the left of the silent "cop" stationed at East Broadway and Main street instead of going to the right, 27 autoists were arrested by Chief of Police William B. Nichols within the last few days and arraigned before Deputy Judge Frank E. Blakeman in the Stratford town court yesterday. Fines of $3 each were meted out to all violators. Included among the violators were some of Bridgeport's S most widely known business men. A we'll known Bridgeport clergyman is registered among the list.
 The crusade which is being waged against automobilists passing to the left of the silent "cop" is the direct result of the accident which occur red at this junction on Monday when a Pierce-Arrow army truck ran over and seriously injured Carl Bach, aged 16 years of South Main street. Those arraigned in court were R. l.. Park 53 Wallace street, Bridgeport; Oliver w.

REAL SPRING WEATHER IS BRINGING OUT THE
 SPRING STYLES

For over month the spring goods have been in the shops and people have been buying them, but it is when they appear on the streets here and there that the "big rush" commences, and everybody wants their suit at once.
 This ''big rush' season is on now at the Caesar Misch Stores at Main, Golden Hill and Middle streets, and as an added attraction they have made special prices on merchandise in each department.
 Much of the goods they are selling this week was really intended for Easter selling, but being delayed for one reason or another, they have only arrived at the store and were rushed to the departments for sale.
 Every season the styles seem more attractive, but this year the manuraD- turers have brought forth sccsa -xqTl- derfuI creations and with the idea of saving wool in their minds they have combined two materials, and in other cases used novel trimmings, etc, so that the styles are different and every one is anxious to obtain them.
 No one is sighted at the Caesar Misch Stores for men, women, boys and girls all have their separate de- partments where everything in wear ing apparel is to be found.
 Cheerful Credit which this store has offered for over a quarter of century to thousands of customers is still in force and enables you to pay for your purchases $1 a week and no money is asked at the time you buy.

MANSFIELD DIES
 IN TEXAS CAMP

San Antonio, Tex, April 5-Richard Mansfield 2d, son of the late Richard Mansfield, died here from meningitis at the base hospital at oFrt Sam Houston. Young Mansfeld's death followed an illness of several weeks. He was member of the Aviation sec tion, Signal Corps, stationed at Kelly Field. His body will be sent to his home in New London, Conn.
 Richard Gibbs Mansfield, who was a private in the Aviation section of the United States army, was in his 20tE year. He enlisted in the army on Feb. 1 last. Before patriotism prompted him to become a soldier he had essay ed to be an actor. He ran away from 8 private school and went to New York and joined company there. His mother, who was Beatrice Cameron, found him and took him home. He was christened Gibbs Mansfield, but several years ago he assumed the name his father made fla nous, and since that time he had been known as Richard Mansfield.
 The young man appeared on the stage for the first time in June, 1915. playing the role of Robin Hood in a production of Alfred Moves "Sher- wood" by the children of Christodora House, of New York. His perform ance was much praised.
 He was then IT years old and had come to New York as a schoolboy on a visit. It was said of him at that time that all his ambitions were for the stage, and he hoped to succeed his father as great actor. In this bent he was never encouraged by his father It was said that MT. Mansfield would never allow his son to be brought into theatre by the stage door.
 It was in December, 1916, that young Mansfield decided the time had come for him to leave school and take up his career on the stage. Taking advantage of the Christmas holidays he left school at Short Beach, Conn.,, and went to New York, obtaining a place with the Provincetown Players. He played there for two nights, and his mother then induced him to re- turn home.
