LEGAL DISMISSAL
WAGE ADVOCATED
Legislation, providing foy p • f
a fortnight’s free wages to - r-.uhtr
workmau dismissed without fault
iiis own was advocated by Prof. Ed
ward A. Ross, of the University of
Wisconsin, in a parer prepared f r a
recent meeting of the American Asso
ciation for Labor Legislation and sp
rinted in the March number of the
Monthly Labor Review, L'nited Stams
Bureau of Labor Statistics.
This is the best way to give
workman security in his job. d:e -
Prof. Ross. It would enable him to
find a new job when dismiss'd a-.d
would relieve him of tit haunting
fear of offhand dismissal.
“Of course the man who 'fires him
self by persistent negligence or mis
conduct should get no dismissal wag- ."
Prof. Ross say; “and. -ince an un
scrupulous employer might charge
fault when there is none, there w ul’
have to be local boards to hear com
plaints on this score. The employee
who quits of his own free will to take
a better job or dosomething els would
have no claim. But. since such
employee might 'soldier' cr gr'-w care
less simply to get himself 'fired' •

“The burden of a legal dismissal
wage will be least on the employer
who picks his men most carefully,
tries them out most speedily, and
gi\<es the most care to building up a
permanent labor force. By providing
the worker with an added inducement
to keep a good job and the employer
with an added inducement to keep a
good man, it would tend to stabilize
American industry and favor the sur
vival of the types of employer and
worker society ought most to encour
age."

MAYORS ASKED TO AID
BUILDING MOVEMENT
Mayors of cities everywhere in the1
United States are asked to cooperate j
with the United States Department of
Labor in its nation-wide Own Your;
Own Home campaign, which is being
conducted fc-r the following reasons:
First. Word roust be provided for re
i turning soldiers ana sailors and for
| labor turning from war to peace in
i dustries.
Second. Immediate stimulation and
j resumption of home-building activity
j is necessary in most communities. At
; present the shortage of dwellings in
| the United States is estimated at not
less than 500,000, and it is probably
[ even greater than the half-million fig
i arc. Home building virtually ceased
I with our entrance into the war. Its
resumption means local benefit and
profit.
Third. Home ownership makes for
‘ better living conditions, thrift, and in
: creased efficiency It provides comfort
for the busy years of work and as
; sures a safe harbor in old age.
Fourth. The Immediate future holds
; no promise of a reduction of the price
j cf building materials. To delay rm-‘;
portant and necessary building in the
. expectation of a decided fall in prices
| seems ill-advised. Prof. Irving Pisher.
: of Yale University, a foremost author-(
: ity, has Btated:
“We are on a permanently higher
price level, and the sooner the business
. men of the country take this view and
adjust themselves to it the sooner they
t will save themselves and the Nation

DECORATORS HERE
AT WORK ON DREAM
Messrs. Jack Faftv and Okas. Weis
enborn of Seattle, interior decorators,
who have achieved no little fame In
their -line in decorating the Liberty,
Rex, and Pantages of Seattle, the
Rialto of Butte, and the Victory of Ta
coma, and scores of others, were re
j cent arrivals. They are here to turn
the Dream Theatre into a dream fairy
land of soft greys, enlivened with dull
rose and old blue, which if you believe
all the decorators say, will evolve a
very realistic Renaissance effect
The reporter has been given strict
instructions to be very vague for the
the whole effect is to 'be disclosed to
the public all at once. Not that the
thetre will be closed while the work
is going on. A little camouflage in
the shape of scaffolding, etc., however
will hide the precious work until it has
all been blended into one harmonious
picture.
Mr. KUblev has gone to considerable
expense in making his theatre one
second to none in attractiveness and it
is in keeping that the new work will
uphold this policy. The work will
take about two weeks.
Roads to Be part of
Arterial Highways
Road building is to be extensively
carried on in all parts of the country i
luring the coming months, according ■
to reports sent to the United States j
Department of Labor. Highways that j
will connect States and in time form j
wide transcontinental avenues of un
interrupted smoothness and safety are ;
projc-cted aiul work on many of these :
has begun.
Pennsylvania furnishes an example j
of this new movements to keep up with
the demands of constantly increasing!
transportation needs. This month the j
State highway department called for;
bids for the construction of 103 mile«
of permanent road in various parts of
the State. Each section for which bids
were asked is to be part of one- of
the arterial highways included in Gov.
Sproul's “primary” system. In many!
places the roads to be built are to bo
IS feet in width, or2 feet wider than \
the old standard. It is announced
that within a few weeks bids will be
asked on the construction of several
hundred additional miles of highway.
This extensive road building will
furnish employment for thousands of
men and will be be well under way be
fore the spring is faradvanced.

DON'T MISIAKt I Hit CAUSE
Many Ketchikan People Have Kidney
Trouble and Do Not Know It
Do you have 'backache?
Are you tired and worn out?
Feel dizzy, nervous and depressed?
Are the kidney secretions irregular?
Highly colored: contain sediment?
Likely your kidneys are at fault.
Weak kidneys give warning of dis
tress.
Heed the warning: don’t delay —
Use a tested kidney remedy.
Read this convincing testimony.
T. H. Berry, 104 Fargo St.. Port
land, Ore., says: “I had been an tlnus
uallv liea'lthy man and hadn’t been
sick a day in my life until wa* tak
en with eyphoid fever. After the fe
ver left me, my kidneys became "aw
fully weak and the secretions passed
irregularly and contained sediment.
Every quick move sent sharp, cut
ting pains through me and I was lame
and stiff all over. I read about Doan’s
Kidney Pills and started to use them.
They soon put my kidneys an good
order and 1 felt like a different man.”
