U. S. Control.
Of Railroads Is Urged By
Boise Central Labor Council.

Dor Can Halt Move To

Boise, Idaho, The United States
Government can run the railroads to
best advantage, both as to the welfare
of railroad employees and also as re-
CARDS the benefits to be derived by
the general public from the service of
this great public utility Such is the
opinion of the bureau of the Boise
Trades and Labor Council.
After extended consideration of the
national railroad question, realizing
that, in some quarters at least, there
is strong opposition to public owner
ship, and believing that anything
worth possessing is worth striving
for, the central labor body of Idaho's
capital city, at its first session in
1919, placed itself on record as fol-
lows
Whereas, Certain forces in the
United States are operating against
government ownership or control of
public utilities: and
Whereas, Our worthy President
has expressed himself in regard to
government retention of railroads and
has turned the matter over to Con

have been administered more efficien-
tly, that the employees have received
far more consideration during the
period of government control and that
the general public will receive great
ter benefits from the service of this
public utility in future with the rail
roads free from profiteering; and
Whereas, Members of Congress
have expressed themselves as willing
to abide by the wishes of the people
now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, the members
of the Boise Trades and Labor Council
(the central labor body for the organ
ized workers of Boise, Idaho, and vi
cinity), do hereby express ourselves rs
being heartily in favor of government
ownership of railroads; that this re
solution be given publicity, and thai
a copy of same be forwarded to eacl
United States Senator and Represen

Will Decrease With Improved
Conditions.
(By Staff Correspondent

Washington, d. C.-Grant Hamil-
ton, chief of the Working Conditions
Service, U. s. Department of Labor,
finds a new angle in the labor turn
over situation:
"In their widest sense working that
working conditions have direct rela-
tionship to labor turnover. Moving
many men from civil life to military
service made it necessary to exercise
greatest wisdom in utilizing our linn
tied human reserves.
"The extravaganza of high labor
turnover has been emphasized by pre-
vailing high wages, thus increasing
the costs chargeable to this unstable
condition among employees. Thus
there has developed new interest
in bettering working conditions and
recognition that such improvement
has the advantage of benefits to the
employer
''In their widest sense working con-
ditions comprise in addition to en-
vironment the relations between en-
ployer and employe. Within an in
dustry cooperation among workers
and those who direct them is of SUI
preme Importance, and wherever
there is a thorough understanding
the highest morale and the greatest
efficiency are assured" +"
