Pass up every consideration these:
He has established the S-hour day and equal pay for

Marsh on Mediation

Will Washingons legislators, who get down to bust
at Olympia next week emulate the well known
ostrich and bury their heads in the in the face of
needed labor legislation?
If they do it will cost employers in this state lot of
grief and money
At least this is the opinion of Ernest Marsh former
president of the State Federation of Labor and member
Of President Wilson's labor mediation commission.
Experience during the war has shown that strikes
often be averted before both sides start making faces
at each other"-as Marsh puts it,
Workers will ask for legislation to perfect mediation
machinery.
Employers ought not TO object And the legislators
il they the spirit Of the times, will be eager to tune
their to any that may straghten out the
road aheadwhich, at BEST full of reconstruction bumps
