by other speeches. and was adopted
as a committee report. Members last

a meeting at Portland. Oregon, which
may pave the way for an adjustment
of the disturbing factors in the at
fairs Of 10000 metal trades workers

Such settlement would mean the re-

yard workers, the only organization
that is now on strike here. Striking
longshoremen returning to work on
Wednesday fnund non-union men in
their places on the docks. Longshore-
men voted to go ON general strike
over the protests of their international
officers and the question has been
raised as to whether they can now
either be recognized as a union or
expect the support Of organized labor.
Non-union men have bee: employed
by flour millers in loading ships and
union men are demanding that these
men be discharged. While there is no
plan in view of reducing the wage
scale that prevailed before the general
walk-out, employers are not prepared
to discharge, men as formerly on the
demand of labor organizations. The
general strike committee at special
meeting on Sunday will take up the
question of employers who have re-
fused to reinstate striking workmen.

LOOKS Good FOR
LABOR MEASURES.
Labor Hopeful That Legislature
win Pass Federation Bills
This Session.

The officers of the State Federation
of Labor are hopeful that this legis-
1ature will pass several bills of value
to the workingmen and women of the
state. The motor corps bill didn't
fare so we'll in the house as its friends
had hoped for. Had the irresponsible
men who crowded the corridors of the
capitol last week been more discreet
and less threatening the bill would
have Jared better for labor. Several
members declared they would have
voted against the measure, but they
did not waht to change under threat.
Hearings were held during the week
on the workingmen's compensation
amendments and on the state insur-
ance bill. The employers are ready
and willing to concede considerably on
the compensation act. but they. do not
take kindly to state insurance. Occu-
pational diseases will probably be in
cluded in the law and the compensa-
ton will be raised from $12 to SIS
week. The percentage will be raised
from 60 per cent to &C. 2-3 per cent
on the wages earned. The time for
payment on the installment plan will
be extended from 800 to $50 weeks.
The employer must pay all Of the
medical costs.
The senate passed the eight-hour
law for state employees last Friday by
a vote Of IS to 2. The bill is now be-
fore the house. Senators Ward and
Baldwin cast the only votes against
the measure in the upper house.
Private employment bureaus are
doomed entirely If bill extending
free bureaus is passed. The. State La
Dor Department has several bills for
the protection Of life in factories and
workshops. A constitutional amend
ment is up making eight hours the
maximum workday in the state.

By VINCENT S. GILBERT.

Ihe League of Nations down out of the clouds
as suddenly thunderstorm and good manv people
who praying for just little rain are going to get
horribly wet. So long it was an idea most peope
were for it because they only the good points:
nearly everybody felt that no matter what the
League did to Others it would leave their interests alone
The position of organized labor in America has been
this: Labor has always wanted peace and has always
known that the old game of International politics was
not guarantee of peace in any way. In America and
in Europe labor has given the most powerful impetus to
the idea of League of Nations and it was this backing
with the backing of the great of common people
which made it possible for President Wilson to "put
across" his cherished plan.
In return for this support perhaps one of the unda
mental points in the resolution which created the League
is that conditions of employment throughout the world
should be studied from the International aspect and
committee is to- be appointed "to consider the inter-
national necessary to secure common action on
matters affecting conditions of employment" per-
manent organization is to be formed to continue this
work 'n cooperation with and under the direction of
the League of Nations"
Is this dangerous compliment to Labor?
It is rushing to conclusions. Already unau-
thozed people have declared that the League wants to
nternationaze abor red radicals have asserted that
the League intended only to make the world safe for
capitalists the other hand Labor has made up it's
mind that the League of Nations cannot and will not
affect Labor at all. The only definite things to go on
the announcements of Mr. Gompers and of George
'Nicou Barnes, representing British Labor who have
declared their opposition to any ntenationa control
O: Labor.
In order to support Mr. Gompers' attitude, which is
the attitude Of American Labor is necessary get
at the bottom of the idea of the League of Nations
All that this article intends to do is to point out
the foundations of the and to show how far it
affect Labor in this country. :
Just at present the L. is voluntary association
Of nations, dealing with and helping to solve interna-
tional estions AS far any see, the League
is body useful for investigation and advice 1t has no
direct authority and it has power iat s it cannot
levy taxes, it has army navy, and cannot make
an? nation take its advice
That is the outside of the League. Now let u$ go
inside First, let leave out Labor for moment and
regard the fact that the League will have controlling
voice in the affairs of colonies, dependencies and
possibly small states. It may not administer German
East Afrct itself, but will be the supreme body.
