Present Labor Peace Plan from Great Falls
Great Falls Montana reports a concrete plan to form a national arbitration board to handle labor disputes during the war. The proposal, sent to President Wilson and top officials, would appoint seven labor representatives, three by the miners and three by employers, plus one by the President, with government paying three employer members and one government member. The plan requests a military order prohibiting strikes and lockouts once the board is named, and calls for official consideration.
