Redding,| Sept S-In her lecture at the Ridge last Friday evening Ida M. Tarbell expressed the opinion that the unemployment situation would best be relieved by each community find ing work for the jobless part of it's
 population. There were certainly enough public improvements needing | doing to keep this element busy un- til general conditions became better. | As to the largely unsatisfactory state | of relations between employer and | enploye she thought the best remedy | was the exercise of a get together ef- | fort in the spirit of mutual concilia- | ton and understanding. The em- | ployer was often arbitrary in his methods and the wage earner often supicious and 'resentfu1 owing to the lack of sympathetic relationship. |
 Grievances felt by the employe were
 entitled to a full and conSiderate hear
 ing by the operators of industrial plants who were often inaccessible in this respect. leaving these matters to
 he dealt with by fOremen. She had
 personal knowledge of several in
 stances where grievances had been
 adjusted and mutual good will estab-
 ished through the medium of shop
 councils. In other instances full dis
 closure of the financial condition or
 the employing corporation had avert
 ed threatened strikes. In the discus
 sion following the lecture l. F. Terry
 of Bethel conductor of large lumber
 ing operations, said that a discourag-
 ing feature of the present labor s1tua-
 ton was the disposition shown by workmen to deliberately 'iSojer" on their jobs while demanding the swol- len wage rate created by the war al though deflation process made pay ment of these high wages 1mpossloIe for the employer and tended to az erayate the unemployment problem F,mpIoyes seemed to be acting on the nrincipIe that the less work they d1o
 for them in other days, the old slo- gan of a fair days work for a iaIr day's paying having apparently lost it's impelling force
