BIG WAGES AND SHORT HOVRS As events come and go, K is more ' and more apparent that there will soon be a lit In the ranks of labor. There is such a vast difference in men, both from a loyalty and square deal standpoint.- There is the conservative, or safe nd sane labor element, that believes in giving full measure of work for value received and who wish to avoid strikes and resultant delays days of idleness which always follow. ; Then there is the radical, 'Red ele ment, that believes the world owes them a living and are willing to sac rifice home, honor, and even law and order to bring capital to its knees and wreck industry to gain their end. For many months the labor ques tion has been In the crucible, from which must soon emerge the victor- lous element the discordant radi cal, or the safe and sane group. The radicals have taken the bit in their teeth and made desperate efforts to swing labor into the ranks of bol shevism, but latest developments ehow they" are fighting a hopeless battle. The square deal element are now taking matters into their own hands. Mayor Hanson's action at Seattle showed them that the bol shevist route was a dangerous one to travel In America. But the radical element is not yet down and out In the San Francisco district they are now demanding a 44-hour week, and have endorsed the six hour day and passed resolu tions favoring the Mooney strike proposition and the freeing of all po litical prisoners, which includes Mooney and Eugene V. Debs. Un less their demands are granted they threaten to paralyze all industries in that section of the country and now have their walking delegates busy urging strikes In all the big labor centers. Over at Marsh field the Loyal le gion of Loggers and Lumbermen are coldly ignoring the radical element. They are working for a universal eight-hour day and say they are willing to give eight hours actual work for a reasonable wage. Their stand is commendable and will re ceive the endorsement of the 'Ameri can public. The organized labor problem is the iblggest single item facing the country today but it is a safe prediction that the radlr-al element, totally without public sym pathy, will be whipped into line. "Politics is adjourned," yet the democrats are claiming all the hon or for advancing the cause of woman suffrage. Even Old Champ Clark Is lauding President Wilson as the champion of woman suffrage; but Champ apparently has forgotten that the president, when he first entered office, repudiated woman suffrage and told the ladles in waiting that 1 lie did not then know 'what his party would do in regard to the matter. And now there appears to be a race Fresh Crisp Crackers Deviled Ham, Tongue and Tuna KINNEY & TRUAX GROCERY Quality First between the republicans and demo crats to gain favor wtth the ladles by granting them the ballot. The women should worry they are sure to win. Ashland is preparing to celebrate the Fourth of July in a manner that will go down in history as the great-1 est event ever staged in Southern Oregon. In connection with the reg ular celebration features, will be the annual Rogue River roundup. The president said the peace terms and the league of nations would be so interwoven that they could not be separated without des troying the whole structure; never theless Senator Sherman of Illinois wants to try it, to see what kind of stuff it is made of. The Germans claim, according to a dispati-h, that there is no trace of President Wilson's 14 points in the peace terms. Evidently Lloyd George' anil Clenienceau have been mivxing medicine. The flying squadron, which will travel from Mather Field, Sacramen to, to Portland for the rose festival will not make a stop at Grants Pass. They have, however, been Invited to make a stop at the military post at the O. A. C. Thinning fruit in the Rogue river valley is now the order of the day. According to the Medford Tribune, the supply of thinners to date is less than a year ago, with double the demand. The rose festival will be held at Portland, but Grants Pass is a verit able rose garden. . A walk or- drive along any of our city streets is con vincing proof. tiOYAli LKGION ON KKOORD AS FAVORING K-HOIR lAtf Portland, May 22. Kavoring ex tension and fuller application of the eight hour day, , making certain changes in the machinery of the or ganization, and listening to reports, gave the board of directors of the central governing body of the Loyal Legion of taggers and Lumbermen two busy sessions yesterday, both full of constructive work. . A resolution was introduced favor ing the eight-hour day as it is ap plied in the limits of the Ioyul le gion, for all industry in the country and met with the enthusiastic ap proval of the board. Included In the resolution was a motion to Inform representatives of the three North west states in congress of the action taken and to urge upon these rep resentatives its full consideration In framing labor legislation. Within the lumbering Industry itself, it was resolved to extend the present basic eight-hour day In force in the sawmills to thep tuning mills. The workday is to be handled in the same manner in the planing mills as in the sawmills that Is, eight hours constitutes the basic workday, and when emergency requires overtime, this shall be paid for at the rate of time and a hulf. SOLDIERS AS GUfSTS ON "VIM DAY', The second day of Chautauqua', "Victory Day," trlngi four overseas men singing the tongs they sung In France. As a special feature of the day Sergeant Gibbons, of the first contingent of Canadians, ooines In the evening with a thrilling and In teresting story of his experiences during the early day of the war. Sergeant Gibbons was for seven months a prisoner of war In num ber or German prison camps. All men who have been In the service or are In at the present time will be admitted free as guests of the quartet and Sergeant Gibbous. Sergeant Bauer, who has charge of the recruiting district of Southern Oregon, has suggested that all dis charged men appear In uniform on Chautauqua Victory day, and make it a day for the boys.
