WHAT CONSTITUTES A
FAIR DAYS WORK

With representatives of the manu-
ers of Paterson at Washington today
in an endeavor to have the war labor
board end the present strike by fixing
the hours of work on a basis fair
to both employer and employed, Pater-
son is nightly interested in any dis
cussion of the question as to what
constitutes a fair days work.
The organized trades Of Paterson
affiliated with the A. f. of L. have
considered that eight hours day, 48
hours a week constitutes fair days
work Some factions of the silk
strikers maintain that 47-hour week
is fair while others demand a 44-hour
week, and the proposition has also
been that a five-day week of eight
hours day was all that should be
worked, says the Paterson News.
Men live on what they produce. Any
general reduction of the output of nee
esaries of life lowers the standard of
living. The improvement in the con-
dition of the American people since
the Revolution is due entirely to in
creases in production. We consume
more food, more clothing, more lux
uries; we are better housed and we
have more amusements than in earlier
years; and all of them are the fruits
of labor applied more intelligently
and efficiently than ever before. Mod
ern agricultural implements and ma
chineny driven by power have been
the chief causes of the improved liv-
ing conditions we now enjoy.
Ever since the steam engine was
invented progress has been rapid. La
Dor at times has resisted the introduce
tion of labor saving devices, yet it
owes it's better condition to them, be-
cause they have provided merchandise
and have increased the buying power
of days wages.
Shorter hours Of work are demand

DEARY STRONG FOR
HIGHWAY DISTRICT
VOTE SATURDAY 156 TO 81 In FA-
VOR-SELECT MEN FOR
COMMISSIONERS

| DEARY.-The election held in
Deary, Saturday, March 22d, for the
creation of highway district No 3 car
ried by 1876 to 81. This means one
more unit in the governments plan
of general road improvement through
out the whole country, and makes the
fourth district established in Latah
county this year. Bovill district will
hold their election next Saturday, and
it is only short time until Troy will
do likewise; and If these two districts
come up to present expectations, there
will be a continuous chain of high
way districts from Bovill to the coun-
ty seat. Then to get passable roads
through this territory, will be one of
the greatest means of uniting this i'm
pOrtant part of the county with the
county seat and principal trading
point. This is something that should
be of sincere interest to the whole
county, as it now takes three days
to go to Moscow, do some trading or
business, and get back 1t is also
fact that the heaviest hauling in
Latah county is over the road between
Deary and Troy.
A committee in charge of a straw
ballot, with privileges of selecting
three commissioners from among the
six names receiving the largest num-
ber of votes. have unanimously se--
lected the names of Anton Nelson
Kendrick, R. F. D. 2; August M. john
son, Troy, R. F. D. 2, and William
Bowers, Avon. R. F. D. 1. These gem
tlemen received at least 80 more
votes than their nearest competitors,
and are all progressive farmers that
are deeply interested in good roads.
The reason for their mail coming to
three different towns and none of
them Deary, is due to the fact that
these rural routes come over into
Deary territory and we're established
before Deary was a town. A read
justment of rural routes is something
that is needed up in this section.
These names have been sent to Gov
arnor Davis for his appointment and
here is no question about our high
way being a success, should the gov
ernor make such appointments.

CONGRESS RECORD
REVIEW OF WORK OF 65TH
SHOWS VAST SUM PROVIDED
FOR GERMAN CONFLICT

WASHINGTON (AP)-Accomp-
lishments of the 65th, or war con-
gress, are officially reviewed in the
final number of the monthly COM
pendulum of the house of representa-
tives appearing Sunday. Unfinished
business of the congress which nee
essarily must be considered in the
legislative program of the new con-
gress, soon to convene, ALSO is con-
tanned in the publication which was
edited by W. Ray Loomis, an of
ficial of the house.
Constituting as it does, statist-
ical retrospection of the accomplish
ments of the 65th congress-" says Mr..
Loomis in a foreword of the COM
pendulum, "the final issue of the
monthly compendium throws the
searchlight on the transactions of
three sessions of unparalleled events.
When the congress met in April, 1917,
the country was at peace. In the in
term war had been declared, a war
had been won, and a war had been
ended. So this issue carries legis-
lative history of a character that per-
haps never again will be duplicated,
both as to the amount of money au-
thorized to be expended and as to
people of the nation
Provides Money for War.
The 65th congress is shown to have
appropriated approximately S57 000,-
100000; passed 349 public laws; 48
public resolutions; 48 private laws
and conducted 80 congressional in
vestigations. A total of 22,584 bills
and resolutions were introduced, of
which 1854 originated in the house
and the remainder in the senate.
President Wilson vetoed five meas
ures.
President Wilson's part in congress
sional matters is set out by list of
notable dates, including his approval,
of the history making laws and his
numerous addresses. 1t is shown that
for the first time laws were signed
in foreign country, that for the first
time a measure, a revenue bill was
signed on a railroad train; that for
the first time a president had ad-
dressed the senate in favor of woman
suffrage, and had signed a bill to
"move the sun forward and then back
ward" and had gone on the floor of
the house to shake hands with mem
bers of foreign war missions.
Notable Death Roll.
Another unprecedented feature was
the practically onefourth of all the
laws of the three sessions were ap-
proved during the last nine days of
he congress- Fifteen representatives
and 10 senators and 20 ex-members
lied during the congress. Two former
officers of the senate, Theo-
lore Roosevelt and Charles w. Fair
banks, also are included in death roll.

USED GARMENT DRIVE
IS ON THIS WEEK
LATAH COUNTY'S QUOTA is
FOUR TONS-LIBERAL COOP
GRAFTON is NEEDED

The drive for 10000 tons of used
clothing for the refugees of France
and Belgium was commenced yester-
day under the direction of the Am
erican Red Cross. Of this 600 tons
| is to come from the northwest and
-four tons is to come from the Mos
COW Red Cross chapter, which, with
the branches and auxiliaries, covers
Latah county, the contributions of
clothing thus to come from the en-
tire county. The need is great and
every family in Latah county should
make an inventory of the used cloth
ing in the home and sort out what can
be spared to help keep the people
from the stricken nations of Europe
from greater distress.
The campaign at this place is under
the direction of Mrs. VIM. Staples.
Parcels of clothing should be deliver
ed at LADDERS feed store on Main
street, where they will be taken in
charge by Mr.. Staples. Care should
be taken to select serviceable cloth
ing-that is, clothing made of flimsy
materials it is warm, serviceable
articles that are needed Clothing
that needs mending may be sent, as
there are many women in France and
Belgium who can make small wage
by mending the clothing, which,
when repaired will stand much serv-
ice. There are, too, in almost every
family, articles which are as good as
new, because of being outgrown, or
having become out of style. 1t is
said that there is no limit to the
demands now being made for clothing
for European sufferers.
Approximately half ton of cloth
ing was delivered at the place desig- !
mated yesterday, the first day of the
drive.
Read and Consider.
The following pertinent thoughts
have been contributed by the local
committee:
The Bible says it is more blessed
to give than to receive. Change
places with one of the refugees and
prove it.
1t is hard enough to have to wear
someone's old clothes, but harder still
20 have no clothes at all to wear,
if there is snow on the
ground, a cold wind blowing, or rain
'alling. Send your bundle to LADDERS
store for the refugees.
God loveth a cheerful giver. Who
would not give cheerfully and say
title prayer of thanks that the Huns
ong range gun did not include Latah
county. Contribute your bundle of
efugee garments. /
Be thankful you are in this good
Id Palouse country and not refugee
over there" All that is being asked Z
# you is to give what you do not
leed-your old clothes. 4
1t will be your last chance to help :
he refugees, as they will not be ref :
gees much longer. They will soon be !.
BILE to help themselves. :,

LsOn1 Farmers
Join Together
To Buy HuNe1

Farmers of the Isom community in
the Tenth district have set notable
example for cooperation that should
be followed in other sections. Eleven
of the progressive tillers of the soil of
that section have banded together
and purchased a clover hullerN Each
has taken an equal share, in the enter
prise which was not formed for profit,
but to provide machinery for harvest
ing their clover seed. One of the
chief difficulties that county agents
and other agricultural teachers have
experienced in their campaign for get
ting more crimson clover sown, has
been the scarcity in the county of
machinery to save the seed. II farm
ers can save their own seed, thus cut
ting out the biggest item of the crop,
1t is confidently believed thar the
acreage of crimson clover will be
largely increased and the work of son
rebuilding win have made increased
progress.

Wire Properties Should Also Go Back

BY ROBERT ]. BENDER.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, May 20-President
Wilson today called upon republi-
can congress to legislate this session
along lines that will insure greater
cooperation between labor and capi-
tai.
The outstanding feature of his mes
sage, read to both houses of congress,
was his appeal that those who do the
daily labor of the world "obtain pro-
gressive improvement in the condi-
tions of their labor, be made hap
pier, and be served better by the
communities and the industries which
their ,labors sustains and advances
The new interest between capital
and labor, he said, can be made opera
tive and manifest only in the new or
ganization of industry, and he urges
business men and workers to seek
and sincerely adopt a common pur-
pose" toward that end.
He specifically told congress that
he will return the telegraph and tel
ephone lines as soon as the "re-trans-
fer can be effected without admins
tration confusion" and the railroads,
he said, will be handed over to their
owners at the end of the calendar
year.
1T is clearly desirable in the public
interest" he said, that some legisla-
tion should be considered which may
tend to make of these indispensable
instrumentalities (wire lines and
railroads) a uniform and co.ordinated
system" a@n@f H'1a1@ hi+.
adThese commentators however,
had been looked for. The promised
surprise" of the Presidents mes
sage hay in his recommendation to
congress to repeal or amend the war
time prohibition act.
By this action, the President pass
es over to the republicans the bur
den of upholding or rejecting the
war prohibition question settled in
favor of the "drys" by a democratic
congress.
Demobilzation of the army, the
President says, has reached a point

Beans cooked only 40 minutes can

tion given at her home this morning
by Miss Sophia Mai Shadow, county
agent.
Miss Shadow told The Herald this
morning that a number of steam

women in Maury county and that 9TH
ers will equip their kitchens with
these outfits. They are labor savers
