FARMERS REGISTER KICK
Say That Automobiles Exceed Speed
Limit on Russell Creek Road.

Farmers came to Walla Walla es-
pecially today to register a protest
against automobilists racing their ma
chimes at a high rate of speed over
certain sections of the Russell creek
road. For three miles this side of the
Russell creek school house the road
makes many crooks and turns and the
farmers say that the lives of stock and
even human beings are being jeopar-
died through the desire of certain au-
tomobilists to make this section of the
thoroughfare a race course.
One farmer, who did not desire his
name mentioned for certain reasons.
said this morning. Il believe that If
the danger was pointed out to owners
of automobiles they would be more
careful in passing farm houses. Yes
terday a machine was driven past my
place at speed of fully 80 miles an
hour. The road for some distance Is
very crooked and in making the turns
at this hign rate of speed teams ana
persons going in an opposite direction
have little chance of escaping a col
lision. Several chickens in the road
have been killed within the past week
and on several occasions live stock has
been nearly run down. This reckless
speed will result in serious injury to
some of the automobilists one of these
days."

Committee Of Lador Leaders viii Wait Upon Wish
to Gaurd Against Use Of Troops to Preserve Order

CHICAGO, April 29.-The president
may be appealed to, to end the
teamsters' strike, which now threatens
to assume proportions dangerous to the
peace and business interests of Chi
cago. A resolution asking the presi-
dent to stop here and force the en-
ployers to arbitrate the issues now be-
ing fought and thus avert the neces-
sity of bringing federal troops to Chi
cago will be introduced at a special

all unions that can be drawn into the
strike Meanwhile both sides are pre-
pairing to continue the struggle today.

way to win the struggle. Carefully
aid plans have been made to tie up the
delivery of coal all over the city.
Disturbances began early today.
Ignor Mulcany was attacked by a col
