COEUR D A'LENE
TIMBERWORKERS
ARE PATRIOTIC

Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, Nocal No.
f2, was the largest organization
that turned out in the Memorial
Day parade. In spite of the fact
that the Al are always blowing
about their loyalty to the nation
and the men that died for their
country, and the men that went to
Europe to fight for world democ-
racy, we failed to see them in this
honor parade. Why did not the Al
show themselves before the public
eye is plain to be seen-because
they have been misrepresenting
their membership to the business
element and the general public
with statements that the reorgan-
ization of the Al was brought about
by the request of so per cent OF the
men employed in the industry. Does
an organization of such men as was
in this parade show that they want

for itself. Boss Campbell, of the
st. Joe Boom Company, showed
some of his loyalty by laying off
the soldier that carried the Timber
workers Service Flag. Democracy
among the employers of Coeur
d'Alene will have to be found with
microscope, because it cannot be
found with the naked eye.
Little respect was shown by Boss
Campbell in regard to the gold star
in this Service Flag and to the uni
form on the man thai cheerfully
carried the flag at the head of the
organization in tn parade. All re-
turned soldiers and sailors should
take note of such propaganda.

NO "SHORT-CUT" TO
INDUSTRIAL PEACE

ATLANTIC CITY, y. j., June T..
There is no easy way to solve
industrial and social problems, de-
clared President Gompers, replying
to a Washington, d. c., newspaper
which has revived the plan to hold
national conference to meet in
that city and discuss these ques-
tions.
The newspaper asked President
Gompers his views on the proposal,
and the trade unionist replied;
"A conference of the character
indicated may be helpful in bring
ing men to better realization of
each others point of view and the
claims which the workers make on
society as a more adequate regard
for services performed.
IF. however. there is in the pro-
iect the thought that a set of ba-
sic principles for guidance in solu-
tion of labor problems and assur-
ance of industrial peace can be
adopted. it will utterly faily. There
is no royal road to final solution
of the labor problem nor can in
dustriaI peace be secured by a set
of resolutions.
81 have endeayored to do my
share to solve the problems of the
day and of the time, and to bring
about as nearly an approach to in
dustrial peace as perhaps any other
man in our country. but TO enter
tain the idea that the labor prob
lem can be solved or permanent
industrial peace attained is fol-
lowing will-of-the-wisp.
An intelligent, rational discon-
tent for a better time and better
conditions of life and work is the
harbinger of progress and a better
day. 1t is the ignorant, irrational
unrest which must be understood
and educated and brought within
the common activities of all our
people in order to open the path to
our greater progress and our high
er civilization.

E|GHT-H0UR DAY
Wins IN FRANCE

PARIS, France, June 7.-Organ-
lied employers have notified their
striking garment workers that the
eight-hour day and the 44-hour
week will be established and the
union recognized. The employers
first refused to grant any demand
or to recognize the union, but the
workers solidarity gradually forced
them to a complete surrender.
The $4,000 striking bank and
bourse employees won a 11-days'
strike against the kings of finance
when Minister of Labor Colliard.
acting as arbitrator, ordered a 80
per cent wage increase for several
large institutions. Other estab-
lishments in this city and the prov
inces will pay rates according to
circumstances. The strikers de-
mands for holidays and improved
working conditions will be worked
out through a committee. the
bankers refused to recognize the
bank clerks union despite the fact
that the French law guarantees the
workers the right to organize and
legaiizes collective bargaining. The
Minister of Labor was accepted as
sole arbitrator when he threatened
to requisition the banks and con-
duct them as State institutions.
The Boot and Soc Workers Union
has compelled employers to sign an
eight-hour agreement that will run
for three years. The eight-hour
law enacted by Parliament last
April provides that its details shall
be left to agreements between en-
ployers and employed in each in
dustry.

This attempted destruction Of

the part of every American.
Il can understand why the nihis

For years the trade union move-

immigration, but the workers were
opposed by steamship companies,
the steel trust and other employers
of labor who stimulated immigra~
ton at the rate of 100000 per-
sons a year.
Many of these immigrants were
herded in large cities or other in
dustrial centers. They were en-
couraged to use their own language
and to perpetuate traditions of their
mother country. At election time,
in innumerable instances, they
were voted en- bloc, and if they
