Wilson, and there are few men anywhere whose efforts for the uplift of labor and laboring conditions are better known.-' Mr. Smith also said that the reason why labor considered the Adamson bill a good bit of legislation was because it had recognized the lnefficacy of arbi tration on such a- question.
