SEEKS WAY TOEND
LABOR PROBLEMS
Washington State Would Get
Rid of Strikes and
LOCkOutS.

iAtohA. w ASH. 4.-PTOS-
ress is reported in the movement in
the state of Washington to devise a
better way to settle industrial dis
putes than through strikes and lock-
outs.
The Washington industrial code
commission for more than a year has
been gathering data from employers
and employees to be used as the basis
for a new law to be presented to the
state Legislature when it convenes
next January. The commission was
instructed to frame a law which viii
settle disputes between labor and
capital without recourse to the cum
bersome weapons of the past that so
often work a hardship on the public
at large.
Plans 10 Give Hearings.
Before the law is written this fall
the commission plans to give a hear
Ing TO every person in Washington
VINO thinks he has a solution and
VIII nave studied the statutes of every
state in the Union that has attempt
ed TO better the relations between
labor and capital. Already hearings
have been held in most of the larger
cities of the state and the commission
made a special trip to Vancouver
b. G.. where labor leaders and en-
ployerS were met and where the Ca
madam industrial disputes act was
thoroughly discussed.
1t was found in British Columbia. "
Secretary Dewitt NJ. Evans of the
commission said, that councils of en-
ployers and employees OF an indus
try are proving beneficial. These
councils are more important in get
ting the two interests together than
are the tribunals provided in the
British Columbia act"
Naturally. according to Mr. Evans.
there is some discrepancy between
employers emp and employees regarding the
pest way amicably to settle disputes.
but both are agreed that the huge
economic loss resultant from strikes
should be pre-, ented. This desire to
abolish strikes and lockouts. Mr.
evans believes, is the best indication
that the commission will be able to
draw up workable piece of legisla-
ton.
Purpose Of Movement.
The commission realized it cannot
create a law that will abolish the un-
uerIylng causes of contention be-
tween labor and capital" said Mr..
evans but 1T does believe it can
frame a set of rules and regulations
for handling disputes so that the in .
terest of the public and both parties
to the contention will not be disas-
trously affected.
The commission expects to estab-
llsh in Washington the machinery
which will avoid the large number
OF strikes and lockouts that arise pri-
marily because there is no agency
to prevent them"
The members of the commission are
Mr. Evans of Tacoma; Edward p.
blake. Seattle; H. Alvin Moore. Seat
Tie; John Pattison. Spokane. and w. l.
Diihhlck, 1akima. There are en-
ployers, employees and representatives
of the public on the commission.

TODAY IS 131ST BIRTHDAY
OF DEPARTMENT OF STATE

Today is the 131st birthday of the
Department of State. 1t was formed
on July 81, 1889. The commission of
Thomas jefferson as the first Secre-
tary of State for the United States
of America is dated September 81,
17S9.
Under the Continental Congress
affairs were at first managed
by a committee, and on January 10.
1881, the office of Secretary of For
eign Affairs was instituted. Living
ston held it till 1888, Jay from 1854
to 1889.
In the First Congress a department
of foreign affairs and home depart
ment We're planned. but on July 81.
1889. the Department of state was
formed, uniting the functions of the
two.
> The premiers of our State Depart
ment have handled the delicate diplo-
matte questions that have been in
volved in the foreign relations of
the Jay treaty of 1794> down to the
present league of nations. This treaty
was really the first great question
that arose in the diplomacy of our
young republic. and it's ratification
on the 14th of August, 1895. has
passed into our history as propaply
the only unpopular incident in the
administration of President Wash
ington.
The Jay treaty provided for peace
and friendship between Great Britain
and the United States at this critical
period G79D and the honor and dig
nifty of the United States were fully
maintained through some of the pro-
visions of the treaty, but met with
violent opposition in several quarters.
The provision of it which met the
bitterest assaults was the one that
secured payment to British creditors
of debts which were due to them by

TEXAS PRIMARIES
HOT[Y CONTESTED
Battle in Lone Star State
Watched With Interest
in Washington.

Congressional contests in four Texas
districts attracted interest in Wash
lington on account OF the issues involved
and the personality Of the contestants
In the democratic primaries just con-
cluded. The struggle was over the
nomination for representative in Con-
gress. which. in these districts, over
whelmingly democratic, is equivalent to
election.
In all Of them the battle was classed
as intense and the outcome was anx-
iously awaited by the friends Of the
candidates. In the seventeenth district

trouble on his hands. He was bitterly
fought by labor and on personal
grounds. his opponent being Judge
Gresham. popular man. The Blanton
district was flooded with newspaper ad-
vertisements attacking his attitude and
remarks on organized labor. Blanton
was renominated by a large majority,
according to the returns.
In the fourth district Sam Rayburn,
who is serving his fourth term in the
House. was opposed by labor. AS a
| member of the interstate commerce
| committee he favored the Esch- Cum
MINIS bill, for which he was criticised by
denouncers Of the Plumb plan for con-
troll of the railroads. He also was re-
nominated.
In the tenth district. James P. Bu-
chanan. UP for a fifth term, was re-
nominated. This is notably dry
district, and Mr.. Buchanan has never
been an advocate of prohibition, but
he came through handsomely, not
outstanding the opposition OF the
| drys. Mr.. Buchanan is a member of
the. subcommittee on the District of
Columbia of the appropriations COM
mittee.
Former Representative James l..
S1ayden and Representative Carlos
Bee were contestants in the four
teenth district. Mr.. Bee is a brother
in-law of Postmaster General Burle-
son. Mr.. Slayden. who has represent
ed the district for many years. was
defeated for denomination in the last
election because President Wilson op-
posed him on his war votes in the
House. He took another try for the
nomination this time. The latest re-
ports were that the voting had been
close and the outcome not yet de-
termined.
