ROCK KILLS JOHNSON
Boise Man Meets a Horrible
Death.
WAS At WORK N The QUARRIES
CAUGHT BENEATH STONE LIFE
is LITERALLY CRUSHED
OUT OF HIM.
WAS At WORK N The QuARR|Es

BOISE, Nov 2-G. A. Johnson,
foreman in the Falkstead stone quar-
ries near the city, was caught under
a falling stone, Wednesday morning
at 1920 and crushed so badly that he
died a snort time afterwards.
At the time of the accident Mr..
Johnson was working with ]. F. Griggs
They were trying to turn large stone.
The stone was 3x4x7 feet in dimen-
sions and stood on its end. The two
men were trying to turn it on it's side.
They had lifted it with derrick and
placed blocks under one edge of 1t
to tip it almost to an angle sufficient
to cause it to turn.
They had Stacked the ropes and key
ed the derrick while they removed a
few loose small stones which were ly-
ing where they wished the large stone
to rest Johnson was standing with
his back to the large stone, lifting
the smaller stones which he wished to
remove, when, without warning, the
large rock pitched forward upon MIN.
The earth had given away under the
edge of the stone where they had left
it almost balanced.
Johnson was caught on his left side.
His left leg was. crushed to a pulp
above the knee and his ribs on that
side of his body were crushed into his
body.
Griggs had just picked up a stone
and taken about two steps with it and
was just barely beyond the large stone
when it fell. Two other men, L. Gas
ton and c. Carlson, were working in
the quarry a short distance away.
They Immediately came to the assis-
lance Of Griggs in releasing Johnson.
The derrick tackle was not in shape
to life the stone, so the men had to
pry it off with bars. One of them i'm
mediately came to the city and called
DR.. ]. B. Lewis to Johnson's assist
ance, but death ensued a few minutes
after the arrival of the doctor. The
men report that johnson lived about
an hour and a half after the accident
and was conscious until within a few
moments Of death.

FGH1lNG FOR THE cHINks
Society Women Of British Columbia
Want to Keep Their
Servants,

VANCOUVER, B. c., Nov. $50
ciety women of British Columbia who
want Cinnamon for domestic servants
are arrayed against the working men
who want to keep Asiatics out. The
former nave found a newspaper willing
to take up their fight and they put
their case before the people in the fol-
lowing way:
1.-THE women Of Vancouver are will
ing to leave the question of cheap la
Dor in commerce and agriculture to
be settled by the men-that is not
their immediate concern; but domestic
servants are necessary for the preser-
walton of their home life and therefore
they demand that Chinese shall be
admitted into Canada at a head tax
of 500 for domestic servants only"
They print the words "for domestic
service only" in big letters. The
present poll tax on Chinese is $500.
Male white workers are greatly OPP
posed to any lowering of the tax. The
champion of the society women con-
tinues as follows:
mo wonder Canada is afraid to give
women the franchise, for had house,
keepers vote no political candidate
would have a chance Of election to
parliament VINO did not promise such
legislation as would insure to them
sufficient domestic help at a reason
able price. Why should British Co.
lumbians make a present of $1,200,O0O
to the Chinese every year? It has
been figured out that the increased
cost Of wages to Chinese since the
poll tax was made $500 reaches that
sum. What right has the government
to waste our substance like this?
What right has it to destroy the COM
fort of our homes, to force us to
abandon that home life which is the
bulwark Of the British Empire, and go
to live in hotels and boarding houses?
None wha'ever!"
The servant question has reached
sucn a point that the writer calls the
$500 tax "a curse to Vancouver hOnse-
holders"

CAPTAIN LEUTzE WANTS TO IN.
TRoDUcE PIEcEWoRk OR THE
PREMIUM SYSTEM.

WASHINGTON July 19.-The labor
unions in Washington are greatly e.S
ercised over the situation tina: has
arisen in the great gun factory of
the government at the Washington
navy yard. Captain Leutze. the COM
mandant of the navy yard, has recon-
mended to Acting Secretary Of the
Navy Newberry that the present sys-
tenn of working the men eight hours
a day be abandoned and that the men
be put either at pfecework or to resort
to what is known as the "premium
system"
The premium system comedies the
right Of a labor union to fix the max.
imum amount of work that may be
done in day by a workman; but 1t
also permits the workman to do a
greater amount of work than this max
imum fixed by his union. and grants
him proportionate increase Of pay
for all work done in excess OF the days
maximum fixed by his union. 1t is
urged that the prospect OF earning
more than the regular days pay slim
ulates ambitious workmen to greater
production. and thus secures greater.
output.
Captain Leutze is anxious that Mr..
Newberry authorize him to introduce
one or the other OF these two systems
in order that the great government
plant, which has been built at a cost
of many millions, may be operated 10
its full capacity. The labor unions
have, through their Representatives ,.
