which is likely to affect thousands OF
employees in the plants OF the Edison
General Electric company throughout
the country Is on at the Harrison fac
tory Of that concern. About !. 400 hands
are employed there. There are only
forty strikers. but they are machin-
lists. and their absence from their posts
has crippled the work OF the factory.
Because OF the strike about 500 girl
employees have become idle and others
may be forced 10 cult because they
have nothing TO DO.
II is thought the strike may extend
10 the cOmpany's Fort Wayne factory
where there are about 500 employees the
LINN plant which employs 5000 hands,
and the Maine works az Schenectady
where the total number Of employees is
about 1900 and the machlnists num-
Der 1000.
The machinists in the Edison fac.

To TRANSFER USE OF WATER
IL PiainnR Wins Many Others VIII
Take Advantage Of tho
Courts Ruling.

Special Correspondence
Boise, Idaho, May ga case involv-
ing a new and somewhat unique quos-
ton under the irrigation law, has Just
been filed in the district court Of Ada
county. The question involved in this
suit has never been decided In the Ida
no courts, and the authorities from
other states are about as scarce as
hens teeth,
The case is brought by wade r. Hard,
plaintiff, against the Boise City Irn-
cation & Land company defendant.
The plaintiff asks the court for per.
emptory writ Of mandamus to compel
the defendant to supply him with 50
inches OF water from the Ridenbaugh
ditch, which Is owned by the defendant,
Tor the irrigation Of tract OF land near
The state fair grounds and only about
three miles from Boise.
II seems that Mr., Hard had been US.
ing no inches OF water on O ranch lately
owned by him some five or six miles
farther down the canal, and having dis
posed OF that ranch he now wishes 10
transfer the use OF the water TO another
ranch owned by him nearer the city.
This presents an entirely new ques-
ton, as II IS matter that has not pre-
vlously been before our courts, and
transfers OF this kind have not been
heretofore made In Idaho Should It
be decided In this case that such pro.
cedure Is legal and proper, there VIII
most likely be several other like chang
es made in the near future
There Is a large amount OF land now
under the lower portion OF the Riden-
baugh ditch which can be more readl-
ly watered from the Settlers canal, or
other bitches, than from the Riden-
baugh, while there Is considerable land
nearer the city which Is not now under
water and on which water could be
obtained more readily from the Rden-
bauEh than from any other ditch In
case the courts should decide that this
water IS transferable II Is more than
likely that this water win be trans
ferred 10 the more valuable lands near
the city, and the lands farther away be
left TO get water wherever II can be
obtained This ditch does not sell
stock, but simply sells the use Of wa
ter for a certain sum per acre each
year and is not now selling any water
for land not already watered from t..
The question is, does a party using the
water gain such right 10 the use OF
water that II becomes a personal right
which he can take 10 some other piece
Of land. or does the right only apply 10
the use OF water on the land on which
Il has been used, and run with the
land.
This suit also involves the question OF
whether an application for the use Of
water, made at an earlier date has any
legal priority over one made az later
date. but before any actual use Of the
water under the prior application. In
this case an application was made In
December and another made later dur
ing the same winter. and the claim Is
made that both are OF equal priority.
The case will be submitted to the court
on briefs. in the course Of a few days
and will be watched with much interest
by all users OF water.

WILL NOT MARCH.
Utah Philippine Veterans viii Keep
Out of Parade.

The Utah Philippine veterans will not
march in the Roosevelt parade, at
least that is II they remain in their
present frame Of mind This decision
was reached yesterday afternoon at a
meeting Of the members of the or
ganization. While the boys give as
their reason for this action that they
were not notified in time to get the
members together from various points
OF the state, 1t is generally understood
that the real reason that the vote
against participating In the parde was
unanimous yesterday was that the
members Of the association felt that
they had been sighted In not being Of
hciallv requested TO turn out by the
committee that has the arrangements
for the reception TO the president The
meeting OF the veterans yesterday was
a warm one and number of caustio
speeches were made IN which the COM
mittee in charge OF the parade was
scored In severe fashion.
j. o. Nystrom, president Of the Utah
Philippine Veterans association, re-
ceived a letter from the advisory com
mittee on Thursday stating that he had
been appointed a member of the COM
mittee on parade, This invite was sub
mitted to the veterans yesterday at
the meeting and the members present
voted unanimously not to accept the In
Vitation.
There are over 300 men In the state
who saw service during the Spanish
American war and against the Fill
plnos, and these would have made a
brave showing in the. parade. II is
understood that Il Is the intention, how
ever, Of the men to be on hand 10 greet
the president next Friday.
In speaking Of their grievance one OF
the men said yesterday
mo attention whatever was paid TO
us until last Friday, when Maj Fos-
ter Of the Twelfth Infantry. stationed
at Fort Duchesne who is = member Of
the committee, wrote TO them about
the matter He spoke very highly OF
the Utah batteries and asked that
they he given prominent place In the
parade. Joseph Nystrom, president OF
our organization, was then asked TO
act as an aide to the marshal. Satur-
day we were requested to take part
IN the parade, and called a meeting
for today TO decide what action should
be taken. We considered the question
very carefully and unanimously de-
cided not to participate. We would
not have had sufficient time to pre-
pare for the parade. We do not think
we have been treated fairly by the COM
mittee In charge, in that we were not
asked TO take part until Saturday, and
then only when the matter had been
forced upon the committee"

technical offense. and not to send II to
the higher courts, where penalty OF
seven years imprisonment could have
been inflicted. After consultation with
rsunsel Mrs. Bedford admitted her guilt
ind the magistrate inflicted the heav-
,cst fine the law allowed.
