Labor Question in Fort Dodge.

Fort Dodge Messenger: We know Of
no one who wishes to see reductions,
in wages at least zone not justified by, !.
future reduced living costs ~
People are thinking earnestly. They.
are studying lessons from their ownaa
observation. They believe the ''closed"a
shop has in many cases proved its fu-
'tility by lessening production and ::
thereby has deprived everybody of ar
part of the abundance which nights
have been supplied if those in contrOh.i
of the labor situation had not prevented"
ii. ~
Employers in particular crafts are
discussing wages with their employees
without outside advice. That is a mat
ter of comparatively small Importance
to the public. 1t is the. principle OF
freedom to work that so many employ
|ers here and elsewhere have joined to-.
10 advocate.
Does anybody really believe it is, to,
the best interests of all that the trade
of building houses should be limited to
forty-four hours a week. That is not
the limit aimed at, either. In Boston.
the carpenters forced an agreement for
la forty hour week: five days of eight.a
hours. each. CHow do the farmers ike
|that?) The country is short millions
of homes and severe hardships are be-
ing suffered by those who need roOfs'tOi
cover them. -
A single individual in one certain"
trade may take the narrow view. that
the Nclosed shop monopoly is a good
thing to be on the inside of, but when
he sees the effect that comes back to
him from every other line of industry
heing lledged in in the same way it
must give even the least thoughtful a..
few doubts.
Either there will be a retracing of.
the way in the direction of the open
shop or there will be an extension OFF,
the closed shop far beyond what now IS
exists, until every occupation will Dig
itself in and drive away all trespassers.t

The Socialist elements fought for a
workingmen's army with great powers
vested in the Soldiers Councillors, eX.

able to obtain all their demands bui
the Soldiers Councillors were given a
voice in the adjudication of complaints
and in all disciplinary measures provid'

The Conservatives, however, won
their point in securing the ALLEGATION OF
