Portland Legislator Says Scheu
be! Bill Is Not Sufficient, but
Is Best Law Yet Enacted.' .
SPEAKS AT SALEM MEETING
Voluntary- Solution of Problems
at Gathering .of Representa
tives of Both Sides Is Aim.
Salem, March 15. Establishment of in
dustrial councils In all Industries, equally
representative of employers and of labor,
and, through these councils, where the
two sides to all important industrial
questions may sit down and talk things
over, to bring about greater cooperation
4bait has ever heretofore existed, is the
solution of the present Industrial prob
lem offered by Representative Eugene
E. Smith of Portland in an address de
livered Friday night in the hall of repre
sentatives!, , While the audience was not
large, it was representative. Including
many employers and workers and state
officials, among whom were Governor
Olcott. Chief Justice McBride and other
members of the supreme court-
Mr. Smith said the Schuebel bill passed
by the recent legislature, and which pro
vides for naming a board of mediation,
was not sufficient to meet the situation
arising from the industrial unrest which
Is sweeping; the world, - He pointed out
a number of weak spots In the law, but
added it was probably the best law of its
kind enacted by any state in the union.
Plans Propaganda Campaign
He said he expected to give the next
era must be organised for the purpose, of
support of what he believes lathe solution
of the capital and labor problem, con
tained in his plan for establishing indus
trial councils. . ,
"The establishment of such councils is
a staggering task," he said, "but America
has performed more wondrous things,
and there Is no good reason why this
may not be accomplished. This is neither
the time nor the place, nor am I the per
son to lay down hard and fast lines fori
the rormatlon or sucn councils, nut. one
or two or more fundamental things may
be mentioned.
"First, it must be recognized that
these councils will demand- thorough or
ganization of both forces, labor ana em?
ployesrs. . v
"Second, If cooperation Of labor is to
be secured in such an undertaking; the
established and recognized trade unions
of workers must be recognized and co
operation of these unions must be Invited.-
-
Employers Must Organise
"Third, the organizations perfected
among employers for this purpose must
necessarily conform in outline and pur
pose with that of the trade unions. In
other words, ultimately national, etate,
city and trade organizations of employ
ers must be organized for the purpose of
dealing collectively through the indus
trial councils with their employes or
ganized In, a like manner and negotiat
ing their agreements through the Indus
trial councils and their subcommittees
and divisions. - "
- "Fourth, it mast be in the minds of
the employers who seriously consider
this solution that not only the matters
of wages, hours and working conditions
shall be handled by and through these
councils, but in addition thereto, as the
workers become more and more familiar
with the technical management of Indus
try, because of knowledge gained
through a closer contact with their em
ployers through these councils, more and
more must there be taken up in coiu
junction with th workers all major
problems affecting industry and those
affecting inter-Industry. :
Day of "Peaee Is Predicted 4
"X am wondering If the employers and
the laboring people of America, in the
majority, have the vision to see the
good that can be brought about through
the machinery of these councils. I be
lieve they. have. It is only necessary
for the leading men of each group to
take this matter up with open minds.
but in faith, .nd the thing is well on
its way and with time and effort win be
perfected." " i
He suggested that Initiative in this
movement shourd be taken by employ
ers, and predicted that if Such councils
were organised then would this nation
behold "the dawn of industrial democ-
Jyracy. Industrial justice, industrial sta
bility and industrial peace."

While the New.York" Sun (Ind.) says that "President Wilson's plan is dead," after thirty
seven Republican Senators had signed a round robin declaring that the Constitution of the League
of Nations in the form now proposed should not be accepted by the United States, the Baltimore
Sun (Ind. Dem.) reminds us that the "leading. Republican critics of the proposed constitution
have not put themselves on record as opposed to any League of Nations, but merely to the par
ticular plan now before the Peace Conference." And Senator Capper (Rep.) of Kansas thinks
that "the cuffing and buffeting President Wilson's League of Nations plan is getting is a good
thing for the President .and for the country,' and in the end "the League of Nations is coming as
certainly as daylight follows darkness," according to The Atlanta Constitution (Dem.).
