SOUTHERN GAME DISTRICT.
Southern Coutes May be Formed into New Division and Dove Season
 Shortened.

The State Fish and Game Associa- .tion which has just held its annual meeting at Santa Cruz, has unanimous- ly adopted a resolution favoring the establishment of a separate game dis 'trict composed of the counties lying south of the Tehachapl
 This action was brought about through the activities of W. A. Cor ren, president of the Riverside Coun- ,ty Fish and Game Association, and Supervisor A. T. Kimbell.
 This is the first step towards se- curing a shorter dove season and the closing of the deer season for per iod of five years, ana these are the primary objects of securing the new district.
 The Southern California men fail ed to secure action on the proposition of getting fifty per cent of the money received from game licenses for use in the counties where the license is used, but they feel confident of getting an appropriation from these funds to pro vide for a deputy to handle the work of supervision in the proposed new district

As soon as received here, they will be promptly taken up and passed upon. The issuance of patents will follow the acceptance of the surveys, but l am unable to state the date when they will be issued, and can only say that the matter Of completing these resurveys has been made special and will be pushed as fast as the requirements of the ser vice will permit.

OF
UNIONISTS
Chancellor Days Narrow and In
just Idea of Freedom---Charley
Leidy Hits Him Few Raps in
Convincing Manner.

A great deal of public notice has
recently been givcl, to the views of
the 'Iyranny OF Labor Unions -
expressed by Chancellor Day OF the
University of Syr lclIse. The
chancellor has been answered, and
well answered by many, but
Charles Leidy in the Central Union
Lines sums up the whole arpu
men i'll the following striking and
convincing manner:
All men with amy love for free
dom should patr.inize buycotted
firm and give preference of employ
ment to men who are denied en-
ployment by the arbitrary acts of
labor union tyranny,' SAID the
learned chancellor.
This applies only to labor unions.
MIR Day would Still allow the de-
vout Methodist to boycott the
Catholic merchant, would Still per
NIT the Catholic contractor to give
employment TO none but Catholic
workman, would still encourage
the undergrad preacher to invoke
The divine curse upon the over paid
actor.
But he would not allow the ar
bltrary tyrannical labor unions to
refuse to buy the products of a
manufacturer who coins the flesh
Of children into gold.
lie would forbid the labor union
lists from discriminating against
the products of the union and the
nonunioD employer.
lie would put the union work
man into competition with the
sweatshop workman by making if
unlawful for any. person to perte,
the product Of the free workman
to that of sweatshop slave.
Veal exercise the boycott to a
large extent
We boycott the newspaper that
is politically opposed to US.
we boycott the meat merchant
because he sells us tough steak.
We boycott the grocer because
his pound contains but fifteen
ounces.
We boycott men because Of their
color or nationality.
But the only species of boycott
ing that is wrong in the ewes of
Chancellor Day is that of the labor
Union against the product of the
employer who tries by every means
IN his power to lower the condi-
tlons of the workmen out of whom
he derives his profit.

gent minds as can be found among
the professions and if it had not
been for that damnable selfishness
of party utilization the ranks in the
breasts of the grand army long ago
would the workingmen of this CITY
country and state had lust re-
cognition of his worth as a man
and citizen.
That the workingman has been
downtrodden by the machine, of
political parties is his own fault.
He has not had the grit and man
hood to stand out for his rights;
he has followed in the old rut of
his grandfatners and continued to
vote the straight party ticket ire
spective of what might result to
his interests or that of his neigh
Dor.
When the workingman awakes
and casts his ballot in conformity
with his interest and uses his voice
against all that is detrimental to
the man who tolls; when he
islands patti for honesty in con-
duct of official positions and
throws off the old party yoke, then
he may be able to enjoy better
conditions for himself, his family
and his fellow workman, and
would not have to beg and plead
with the legislature for protective
mining legislation in vain, and the
lawless "guard" and peonage
system would not be conducted re-
CARELESS of all laws if the workers
had placed honest men in office.
who would legislate and enforce
the laws in the interest of the
masses.
Unit! the wage workers arouse
and casts off the yoke of the DO.
litical boss, he may expect to take
that which is handed him, even if
is nauseating to his stomach, and
he deserves all he gets.

JOINT CONFERENCE.

The operators and miners OF
West Virginia will reconvene in
this city on next Monday to re-
sumo negotiations for a WAGE
agreement for the coming YEAR
and there is every evidence ap.
parent that satisfactory agreement
will be reached.
The miners dei hands are very
reasonable, indeed, and operators
realizing that fact, cannot con-
scientiously put up very strong,
reasonable objection to their pro
position and after a short prelimi
nary fight they will get together
and peace and harmony will con-
tlnue to prevail throughout the
kanawha coal fields.

LEWIS SUCCESS.

When the clouds were gathering
on the mining horizon in the lat
ter part of March and the early
days of April, many were the pre-
dlctlons, coming from all classes of
men throughout the country that
Tom l.. Lewis, the newly elected
PRESIDENT of the United Mine
Workers of America would not be
able to cope with the situation
and general strike of the miners
of the United States was bound to
follow.
But the outcome of the Inter-
State conference at Toledo, where
settlement was effected and the
many District settlements through
out the country clearly demon.
strates to the world that these pre-
dictions of dire and disastrious
things that was about to happen to
the miners and mining industries
OF our country eliminated from
false prophets, who did not know
their man.
1t is true that for a time THINGS
looked exceedingly gloomy, but
Tom Lewis looked the difficulties
straight in the face, grasped the
situation by the horns and in that
fearless and determined manner
which has at all times beencharact-
erlstic of him, proceeded to do
things and when the smoke cleared
away peace and harmony prevailed.
as result of his untiring and cour-
ageous efforts.
Tom Lewis is d worthy successor
OF that great leader John Mitchell.
as the future will fully show and
the miners are to be congratulated
upon electing him as their guiding
spirit of their movement for the
coming year.
Success to Tom L. Lewis. the
fradical.

UNION MAN HIS FRIEND.

Why does the union man stand
so resolutely for the closed shop?
1t is not that he has animosity to.
ward his nonunion fellowman: not
that he wishes to see him and his
family suffer or have their inalien-
able rights curtliled to the slight
est degree; not that he would mo-
nopollze and control the labor
market. But because he is en-
gagged in the greatest good work of
modern days-the securing of the
rights of all who toll; the establish
ment of right relations between
employer and laborer; the euuali-
zatlon of social and industrial con-
ditions so that every man, woman
and child who works may have a
chance to live and enjoy it. The
best friend to the nOnunion man is
his reputed worst enemy-the
union man.
