Register r. N. Dunn of the Coeur

the second time In the case of George
Barnes versus q entrymen in town.
ship AZ north, range east. Barnes
appealed from Register Dunn's de-
cision TO refuse to give notice of con-
test. In reviewing the case Assistant
Commissioner ]. II. Temple Of the
general land Office severely scores
Barnes and Sparks, and strongly
intimates collusion on the part Of
Barnes, Sparks and associates to so
harass the homestead settlers referred
to that they would part with their
timber holdings for little or nothing.
The commissioner accuses Barnes and
Sparks with attempting to use the
local land office officials to further
their plans to coerce the settlers to
sell.
Special Agent Goodwin, to whom
the department referred the case for
investigation, reported worse state
OF facts than those reported by Regis

Among other features of the case
the general land office states that
Barnes and associates went upon the
land in dispute and gave out the i'm
preston that they were In the employ
Of the United States government and
were seeking information upon which

formal entry of the labor party into
national politics. This has been
followed up with separate statements
py Mr.. Gompers and other labor lead
ers intimating that candidates would
be placed IN the field in certain dis
tricts. One district in particular is
that now represented by Mr.. Dalzell,
or Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. 1t has
also been limited that the seat Of Mr..
Payne. Chairman of the Committee
on Ways and Means, and that Of
"Uncle Joe" Cannon, the Speaker Of
the House, might be contested. These
gentlemen claim that they are not
worried by such statements, and
seem to have given them the con-
sideratlon such threats are entitled
to.
There are. however, number of
congressman who are pretty we'll
stirred up, and are as result paying
more than usual attention to their
political fences. They are also giving
a good deal Of thought before voting
on measures likely to effect the labor
interests. The result of the recent
election in England. where the labor
party gained several additional seats
In the House of Commons, doubtless
has had something to do with the
agitation IN the United States, and
Is probably to great extent directly
responsible for 1t. 1t is interesting
to conjecture as to what will be the
probable outcome of this direct entry
into politics by labor as separate
party. 1t is not likely to have any
Immediate effect upon the represen-
tation from the Southern States, as
political affairs in that section are
still controlled by the agricultural
element. In New York, Mdssachu-
setts, Pennsylvania, and Illinois the
field for the laborites would be the
most inviting, as several districts In
those four states could easily be
carried by the laboring men. Pro-
badly no state in the west, with the
possible exception of Colorado, would
be Immediately affected. OF course
there is a labor element in California,
Idaho and Montana, but men who
are familiar with conditions in those i
states are of the opinion that this |
element is not vet strong enough to
gain control, 1t is further suggested ]
by western men that the real friends
of labor come from the western states. |
Under these circumstances it is not |
likely that the movement will gain
any headway except ia the eastern ,
states where the labor question is
more acute.
The party is Of course in itsinfancy
In this country. 1t is, nevertheless,
receiving great deal of publicity in
the newspapers and magazines. Poll
ticians are reckoning upon this new
element in American politics, and
statesmen are wondering what will be
the permanent effect upon our insti-
tutions.
