Limited by its character, the city has no legal club over unscrupulous landlords. A vol- untary commission, to pass on rent. prices, as the vol- untary food price board is now deing, is suggested. Very well! Public opinion must bring about a decent standard of rents. If public opinion cannot vest a voluntary commission with sufficient power, it at least can demand positive, clear and complete satisfac- tion from the legislature, which convenes in Olympia next January, and from the federal authorities, who have the power to commandeer, Our first task is to elect the right kind of a legislature! {held that neithe: | amendment to DRAFT OF zm | WORKERS BY 1S SCORED Secretary Morrison Brands Thomas Amendment as Unfair Weapon NOT LIKELY TO PASS x * By United Press Leased Wire Direct to The Star x * WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.— The Thomas “work of fight" the man-power bill is an insult to labor, Frank Morrison, secretary of the Amer- jean Federation of Labor, charg ed before the house military mil- | itary affairs committee today. “We do not protest against men going into the army to fight, bot we do protest against putting this weapon in the hands of unfair employers to brand the workers as slackers,” Morrison said.

The attack continuing satisfactorily, it is learned, and the French advance endangers the whole German line es long the Aisne front from Soissons eastward. It will cause no surprise if the Germans soon withdraw to the Chemin des Dames. : More than 500 additional prisoners have been taken in this new attack.
