THE LABEL A POWER

A union label is a great power in
the labor movement, says the Shoe
Workers Jour1al. 1t is even a weapon
In the hands Of organized labor, used
against the unfair employers but it is
used as a weapon against employers
and industrial evils only as
last resort. It's greatest use and
greatest work is edyfying and peace
full. It's greatest accomplishments are
peacefully gained. It aims to have the
consumers band together against abus-
es as the workers organize against
abuses. 1t stands for publicity and
organized labor is justified in saying
that the public is derelict in it's duty
while it does not embrace the oppor-
tunity given by the union label to
rid our industrial life of the convict
contractor, sweat shop and child la
bor; to rid society of the contagious
diseases which have their source in
the sweatshops; to rid society Of the
accommodating evils of a system that
makes children wageworkers and able
bodied men and women idlers.
The union label Is the great indus
trial and social health commissioner
requiring nothing but public support
due it to abolish Industrial evils that
are public menaces and beget social
evils.
Organized labor has a right, not only
to ask, but to expect the public to buy
union label goods in preference to
others. Organized labor has a right
to expect that society will support it
in curing great evils and carrying on
a work that must accomplish results of
immense social advantage.
The union> label is working for the
good Of all, and is used as weapon
against or to the detriment of abusers
and abuses only. If the union label
received the support of the great con-
suming public, to which it is entitled,
there would be small neeti of using it
In any but peaceful, edifying, healthful
and uplifting ways.
Organized labor may well ask: Has
not the public duty to the union la
bel? Does it not owe that duty, and
has it not been Indifferent not only
In It's duty to the union label, but to
almost every opportunity to do away
with poignant Industrial evils?" 1t is
not acceptable that the pablic's duty
is that Of an active censor Sof wrong,
but only passive supporter Of right.
The purchasing support OF the con-
Stunning public In support OF the union
label would soon correct recognized
Industrial and social evils, as well as.
the errors of orsanized labor.

Brings Back a Bride.

Attorney Alvord, who left
here quietly about two weeks
ago without letting his friends
know where he was bound, re-
turned Wednesday and brought
back with him brand new
bride. He was married at
Pomeroy, Wash, on Wednesday
of last week, Speaking of the
wedding a Pomeroy paper says:
"A quiet and pretty wedding
occurred Wednesday evening at 8
o'clock, at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Will Norris, when Mr..
Adelbert A. Alvord and Miss
Elizabeth Daisley were united in
marriage. The spacious rooms
were handsomely decorated for
the occasion.
The ceremony was perform
ed by Rev. Harry Baton, a
brother-in-law of the bride, and
Father Daisley was present and
gave his daughter away. Only
relatives and a few friends Of
the bride were in attendance.
"The bride is we'll known in
Pomeroy and has wide circle of
friends here who wish her all
the comforts and joys Of a long
and happy welded life. She
was for a number of years a
pupil of the Pomeroy school and
afterwards taught in the same
school. She is the third daught-
er of Rev. and Mrs. j. B. Dais-
ley"
Mr.. Alvord has been a resi-
den of this place since last fall
and has won many friends who
will join the CHRONICLE in ex-
tending to himself and bride best
wishes for a long and happy
conjugal voyage.
They will reside for the pres
ent in the Jones residence in the
north end of town.

Some School Law.

For the benefit of the school
clerks of the various districts of
this section we publish the fol-
lowing extract from a law pass
ed by the last legislature:
Section 1. 1t is hereby made
the duty of the board of school
trustees of this State to make a
report in writing on the first
Monday in June of the financial
condition of their respective
school districts, showing the
amount of money received, from
what source, the amount expend-
ed and in what manner and for
what purposes expended, and
the amount of money in the
treasury of the district or to the
credit Of the district on hand at
the date of the report, the said
report to fully show the financial
condition of the district at the
date thereof.
The law also requires these re-
ports to be published in a news
paper or by posting, and as the
evident intention is to inform all
the residents of the districts of
the financial condition of the
schools we believe the school
boards on this side of the prairie
can do no better than send their
reports in to the CHRONICLE for
publication, as few people read
posted notices and nearly all
would see the reports in their
home paper.

The Northern Pacific railroad
company has secured an injunc-
tion restraining the 0. R. & N.
company from building down the
north bank Of Snake river from
Riparia. The O. r. & N. people
started work there recently with
a big crew of men and as they
were working over the route re-
Gently contracted by the N. P.
for the building of the Riparia-
Ainsworth line the latter COM
pany at once took legal steps to
stop the work. Along with the
above action the Northern Pacific
also started men to work at Lew
iston laying track further south
along Snake river and it is
thought the company intends
either to build a branch road up
Tammany Hollow to Waha or
else is taking steps to shut out
the O. R. & N. road to be built
down the river from Huntington
from entering Lewiston by the
east bank of the Snake river.
From present indications it
would seem that both roads are
at sword points except on the
construction of the joint roads
from Riparia to GrangeviIle and
aside from this work will do all
in their power to hinder each
other on every piece of road built
in the northwest.

Wires are down and reports are
meager. At Pendleton the river
was higher Tuesday than for
10 years past and the water was
still rising. It is feared that
the town of Echo, which is built
on flat near the river, will be
badly damaged by the flood.
Shipments of sheep amounting
to nearly 10000 head were sent

A lady shoplifter at Omaha
this week stole a $500 diamond
at jewelry store and swallow
ed it to escape discovery. She
was later arrested and the
diamond was located in her ap-
pendix by aid Of an x-ray. 1t
now remains for the jeweler to
await an operation for appendi-
citis to recover his gem for if he
were to have an operation per-
formed against the girls will
and she were to die he would
be held for murder.

Ben Westhoff Gets Held Up.

Word reached town Tuesday
morning that Ben Westhoff had
been held up Monday evening
at Stock creek between here and
Greencreek as he was going
home. He had been here that
day and had deposited $4,000 in
the local banks, having drawn
the money from a bank at Nez-
perce a day or so before. He
had shown a large check here
that day and it is thought some
one believed he would cash it that
day and went out ahead of him
to relieve him Of the money.
Two men participated in the
hold-up but as it was quite dark
it was impossible to tell who they
were, the only clew being that
one road a dark horse and one a
white horse. They secured only
about So for their trouble. This
makes the second time Mr.. West
hoff was held up this year as he
was one of those in the Green
creek store when it was held up
and robbed late last February.

Accidental
Shooting
Robert Brewster, a Tie Cutter,
Gets a Bullet in the Knee From
a Pistol Dropped in the HOteI--
Took Him to Spokane.

Robert Brewster, a tie cutter
who was employed up on the
mountain last winter by Fred
Rustemeyer and who later work.
ed on the railroad above Guide
sac, was badly wounded here
Sunday night about nine o'clock
by the accidental discharge of a
revolver. He was sitting in the
Office of the Idaho hotel with his
hands on his knees when Lou
Lawrence stopped over to pick a
match from the floor and a re-
volver dropped from his hip
pocket to the floor and exploded,
the bullet cutting one of Brews-
ter's fingers and entering his leg
at the knee cap and penetrating
well up into the thigh. A rail-
road physician, who happened to
be stopping at the hotel, and DIR.
Turner attended the wounded
man and after an examination
deemed it best for him to be tax
en- to the hospital at Spokane for
treatment. The injured man
was then loaded into a rig and
taken to Culdesac that night by
the physician and Riley Dixon
where he was put on the train
and taken to the hospital. The
wound was a very painful and
serious one and even with the
best of care it will be some time
before the injured man will be
able to get around again and it is
possible that when he recovers
his knee will be stiff.

More Men at Anderson Camp.

Contractor Anderson, who is
working at the Simpson place
north of town, went to Culdesac
late last week and brought up an
other crew of men and a lot of
teams and scrapers. He is now.
at work on two cuts, one on each
side of the canyon at the Simp-
son place, and is making good
progress with the work. The
cut to the north of his camp is a
heavy rock cut and blasting of
the rock where the men are
working can be distinctly heard
here every few hours during the
day. He has about 35 men at
work at present and will in
crease his force as rapidly as
men can be secured. AS his
contract runs through this place
it is liable to be some time be-
fore he has a crew at work here
unless he is able to secure men
more rapidly than up to the
present time. So far there has
been practically no cross-section
work done south of this place
and it is hardly probable that a
camp will be established be-
tween here and Grangeville for
a couple months at least.
