in most of the larger cities of the state
and the commission made a special trip
to Vancouver, b. c., where labor lead
er and employers were met and where
the Canadian industrial disputes act
was thoroughly discussed.
cit was found in British Columbia, -
Secretary Dewitt M. Evans of the COM
mission said, ''that councils of employ
ers and employees with an industry are
proving beneficial. These councils are
more important in getting the two in
terests together than are the tribunals
provided in the British Columbia act. -
Naturally, according to Mr.. Evans,
there is some discrepancy between en-
ployers and employees regarding the
best way amicably to settle disputes.
but both are agreed that the huge eco
nomic loss resultant from strikes
should be prevented. This desire to
abolish strikes and lockouts, Mr.. Ev-
ans believes, is the best indication that
the commission will be able to draw up
a workable piece of legislation.
ssThe commission realized it cannot
create a law that win abolish the I'M
deriving causes of contention between
labor and capital, said MI. Evans,
'sbut it does believe it can frame a set
of rules and regulations for handling
disputes SO that the interest of the pub
lie and both parties to the contention
will not be disastrously affected.
'tThe commission expects to estab,
.lish in Washington the machinery
which will avoid the large number OF
strikes and lockouts that arise primari-
ly because there is no agency to pre-.
vent 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. u
.Dimmick, Yakima. There are employ.
ers, employees. and representatives of the
public on the commission.

Commission Hopes to Work Out Plan

TACOMA, Wash, Aug. Progress
is reported 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 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 in
structed to frame a law which will set
tie disputes between labor and capital
without recourse to the cumbersome
weapons of the past that so often work
a harship on the public at large
Before the law is written this fall
the commission plans to give a hearing
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 CAPT
tai. Already hearings have been held

WASHINGTON, Aug. New freight
rates and passenger fares viii be made
effective on Aug. 20, instead of on Aug. 70

group before crossing the line, in which
case the Intentional rate, which is to be
advanced 80 l-3 per cent viii apply.

The Community House means that
we are to have a common meeting
palce where we may cultivate those
beautiful social customs that were
once Sc characteristic Of or count"y,
especially of the Southland. Man Is
not only a playing animal" as a
certain philosopher said, but he is
also a social being. He belongs to
the social structure and has no right
to separate himself from his fellows.
In other words, he Is a pa. OF tho
commd l'ty life and has no. fulfilled
his ob,'gat.GLs to his fell3E man, or
to his Gcd. unless he Is willing to
devote Fart Of his time part Of
himself 10 the community in which
he lives. The hapDiest a1c most
prospei ous people in the world are
those who retognize this soc III obll-
cation. and who enter inio it's l!fe,
not bs:auss they are forced TO, but
because they are glad of the privt-
lege. There are certain interests
common to us. We live in Gods

vitally concerns every citizen and
we cannot afford to assume an att
tude of Indifference. Certainly 1t
should not be our disposition to sit
around as miserable fault finders
and destestable hinderers. In prac-
ticallv every community there are
mud-slingers, scandle mongers, ecu

to tear their neighbors, and the con-

The Community House proposes to
have 9 recreation hall in this build
ing that will be attractive to the oil
and young alike. There will be
music and games; library and read.
ing room; place for social AMI
friendly gatherings. Encouragement
will be given to outdoor sports, such
as golf and tennis. The Community
House proposes to encourage physi-
cal development of the children and
hopes to have classes in physical cu,-
ture. There will be community sing
ing and occasional programs of music
and readings. There will be open
meetings for the discussion Of COM
unity problems, and perhaps some
day our political friends will sit
around our gatherings and discover
just what the people expect them TO
do with the offices they hold. TIE
Community House believes tina.
every citizen of the community is
also a good citizen Of the nation.
One Of the greatest needs today IS
a deeper spirit Of patriotism and love
for the traditions Of our country.
Shall we not delight in a careful
study Of these questions and the en-.
couragement of red-blooded Amer'-
canism in the hearts of our child
rem?
The Community House Is for the
mutual benefit Of all the people and
its activities will be conducted In
such manner that no one will be
offended as to his religious, politLc..
or social convictions. There will be
no Sunday dissertations; there Will
be no gambling; there will be no
improper conduct; there will be 10
abuse Of the privileges offered to all,
but splendid opportunity given to
everybody who desires to enter into
a large and useful service. It is
hoped that 1t may become a real
community center; place where all
the organizations that are seeking

stincts of the human heart. We
trust that the influence of the Com
munity House will reach the sur
rounding towns and the rural see

organization will inject a new life
and new spirit in the very heaet
of the community and section in
which we live.
