For our memory Of her Is the only thing,
That grief can call its own

But little do they know the sorrow,
That's within our hearts concealed.
So suddenly did she leave us,

But we know we'll ind her waiting

Make Progress TO End Disputes.

TACOMA, Wash.-Progress is re-
ported in the movement in the state
Of Washington to devise a better
way to settle industrial disputes than
through strikes and lockouts.
The Washington Industrial Code
Commission for more than a year has
been gathering data from employ
ers and employees to be used as the
basis for a new law to be presented
to the state legislature when 1t con-
venes next January. The commits
sion was instructed to frame a law
which will settle disputes between
labor and capital without recourse
to the cumbersome weapons of the
past that so often work a hardship on
the public at large
Before the law is written this fall
the commission plans to give a hear
ing to every person in Washington
who thinks he has a solution and will
have studied the statutes of every
state in the union that has attempted
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.
c., where labor leader and employers
were met and where the Canadian
Industrial Disputes Act was thor
oughly discussed.
