shop 1t is being prosecuted without
regard to expense, and some of the
best brains in the service of the cor
porations are directing the fight. The
rather attractive battle cry is Labor
must be free We are told that it is
a protest against the tyranny of the
unions.
THE open shop plan means the in
PRODUCTION into our population of
poorly fed, poorly paid, ignorant, an
archistic element. 1t means the en-
ployment in the mines of thousands of
thousands of men whose only weapons
against oppression are the shotgun
and the bomb. 1t means the reduction
of wages and the degradation of labor
1t means overtaxing the wonderful
power of assimilation which this coun-
try has. Gentlemen, l am against the
open shop and l am for the labor
unions, because it seems to me, as an
American citizen, that the labor unions
are true, progressive organizations. -

LUMeERMEN CRY FOR HELP.
Must Have More Men or Shut Down
Their Mills

Spokane, Wash, June 5-Twenty
thousand men are needed by the lum
Der mills operating in eastern Wash
ington and Oregon, northern Idaho and
British Columbia. The situation has
become so acute that unless men can
be secured at once some of the mills
will be forced to close, sending their
laborers into the woods. The West
ern Pine Shippers association had
delegated James P. McGoldrick Lum-
Der company; E. F. Cartier Van Dis
SELL manager of the Phoenix Lumber
company, and John C. Barline, treas
urer of the Washington Mill company,
to devise ways of securing men for
this summers work, and agents will
be sent out to engage men. w. c.

10000 men at work, and We will give

PULVERIZiNG POST.

Bread Crumb" Post, of Battle
Creek, Mich, says the Garment Work
ers' Bulletin, who for a time succeeded
in inducing the people to buy his cot
fee, which is made of bread crumbs,
is going backward. His business has
fallen off one-third within the last six
months. This is due partly to the
boycott placed upon him by organized
labor because of his leadership in the
his crazy advertisements in the daily
newspapers and partly through the
boycott laid on him by the bour-
geoise for his divorcing his wife and
marrying his stenographer.

Among them are a quantity of po-
tatoes which would make any Irish

pounds; the others, single tubers,
average IN pounds. They are of
the white elephant variety. A sun

A coon" show hit town Satrr-
day and proceeded to put out a few
posters. There were two black
"cOOns" and one white one. They
held forth in Dickinson's hall and
drew $40 house. They also drew
the anger of a whole crowd of peo-
pie over punk show, some of
whom threatened to demand a re-
turn of the entrance fee. After the
show the ''coons' had the gall to
take up a collection for dance. 1t
was the first show of the season
which is probably accountable for
the large house obtained. Such
shows as these hurt the town for
good show, but they will find suck
ers wherever they go.

Ban on Class Rush and hazing.

The class rush" and 'hazing' are
to be put down with an iron heel.
That was definitely decided upon at
the meeting of the university board
of regents. The resolution as original
ly presented was slightly modified be-
fore finally acted upon, but while the
form was changed the spirit OF the
resolution was kept intact. The final
resolutions left no discretion with the
university authorities, and both the
class rush and hazing are included
within its scope. While the original
resolutions peremptorially ordered the
university faculty to put stop to the
class rush and "hazing' at the big
state institution, the final resolutions
We're sOftened a little so as to per
nit the faculty to work out the abOli
ton of the Objectionable practices in
its own way-yet the university au-
thOritles are given no discretion. The
regents informed the faculty that the
practices must be discontinued The
university will soon issue an edict to
the student body advising all stu
dents that the long praCticed annual
class rush and all hazing must be
finally and definitely stopped. Just
how this announcement will be made
Is not yet certain 1t will probably
be made at one of the conversations of
the student body The university au-
thorities may choose the way of max
ing this announcement and the meth
DDS of enforcing the order On that
point the regents yielded But the
class rush and hazing must be
stopped. The regents in the resolu
ton say that the state demanded the
abolition. The spectacle of body of
students in the Madison police courts,
the regents say, stirred the state to
such an extent that public opinion
has made its final expression. Also
the reports of students injured in
these class demonstrations has wor-
ried parents so much that the demand
for correction of the abuses is en-
phatic. Under the faculty's forth.
coming ruling the dictum will be laid
down that expulsion will be the pen
