FIGHTING
NEGRO ORDER

When the Spokane Elks meet in
regular session tomorrow evening
probably the most important mat
ter to be brought up will be the
fight the order is making in this
state against the incorporation of
negroes lodge entitled the I'm
proved Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks of the World. Ar
ticles of organization have been
sent to Olympia by Seattle ne
groes to be filed, and the old order
of Elks is making vigorous pro-
test against the name adopted by
the colored order being permitted
on account of it's almost exact SINH
larity to that Of the B. P. o. E.
The matter has been called to
the attention of Judge KEENAN,, of
this city, who is district deputy for
eastern Washington, and he will
act for the state jurisdiction in con-
junction with the district deputy
for the western part of the state.
John K. Tener, grand exalted
ruler of the order, has written to
the secretary of state Directing to
another organization using the
name Elks, made famous by the
original order.
The negro order was started

FIVE DEADLY BLOWS AT LABOR
OR GOVERNMENT BY COURTS
No. 5-THE BUCKS STOVE CASE

and others of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, and also the Electro
type Molders and Finishers' union
No. II from containing the boy
colt.
After reviewing the case at great
length and quoting, among other
authorities, the opinions of United
States Circuit Judge, now Secretary
of War, Taft, in the Toledo and
other cases, as to the nature of boy
colts, Justice Gould concluded that
there are things which it is lawful
for an individual to do which it is
not lawful for combination of in
dividuals to do" and stated that
using the boycott was one of these.
He thereupon-Dec. II, 1907
issued a temporary order, pending
argument relative to a permanent
one, enjoining the said defendants
either from publishing the name of
the Bucks Stove & Range Co. in
the 1--WE Don't Patronize" list of
any of their journals, or from in
any way discussing or calling atten-
ton to any boycott against said
complainant.
President Gompers regarded this
as an assault upon the liberties of
the citizen. He took the name of
the Bucks Stove company out of
the I'VE Don't Patronize" column
of the American Federationist, but
in the same issue February, 1909
he printed an eight-paged editorial
in which he discussed the matter
from top to bottom, declared that
the fundamental constitutional
rights of free press and free
speech" had been invaded, and
pointed to the fact that because
this had been done "by judge-made
injunction and rot by statute law"
it made "the menace all the great
err"
He also appealed to public opin-
ion to enact a lew ito limit and
regulate injunctions."
This was contempt of court"
with a vengeance, but up to date
neither Justice Gould, onr the
American Anti-Boycott association,
has taken more than technical
notice of it.
1t is more thar probable the
AntiBoycott association is prepar-
ing to strike ut Gompers and the
others through the Sherman anti
trust act, which the unanimous SUI
preme court of the United States on
Feb. declared, in the Danbury
hatter's case, to be against boy
colts, as being a conspiracy in re-
straint of trade.
The indications are that this as
sociation will, under this decision,
seek to prosecute Mr.. Gompers and
the others criminally, and besides
exact from them personally and
their unions three times such dam
ages as the Bucks Stove company
can prove it has sustained through
the boycott!

LABOR BATTLE
ON IN alaska
BULLETS FLY AND MEN ARE
CIUBBED IN MINE OWNERS
CAMPAIGN TO OVERPOWER
UNION MEN.

SEATTLE, March 1.-THE eff
forts of the Alaska mine owners to
import men to replace union miners
resulted in an outbreak yesterday
at Fairbanks in which shots were
fired but no one hurt. The arrival
of an installment of imported men
caused demonstration which a
deputy U. S. marshal attempted to
quell by using his club. One of
the miners opened fire on him,
which was returned. A number of
union men were hurt in the
clubbing.
AS a result Of the affair Tom
Steffenson. Western Federation or
ganizer; w. E. Priestley. who edits
a labor paper at Fairbanks. and
Secretary Frank Cullen, of the
union, were arrested and locked up
in default Of $4,000 bail for per-
hitting the union men to gather in
the union hall after the crowd was
broken up.

men will be protected has been
given ny Z. >. MdTSudl rely, anu
the companies will continue to ship
in as many as can be secured for
the purpose of breaking down the
wage scale the union has hitherto
been able to maintain.

nothing about labor trouble, have
been placed all over the states, par
ticularly in the Northwest.

BY HENRY GEORGE JR.

Before considering the far-reach
ing effects of the Danbury halter
decision, it will be necessary to ex
plain the Bucks stove decision in
the supreme court of the District
of Columbia and sweeping in
junction order in the Northern dis
trict of West Virginia.
The Bucks stove case will be
treated here alone.
The Bucks Stove E. Range Co. OF

a quarter millions a year, almost
wholly outside the state of Mis-
souri,, in 1906 had friction with it's

union
1t is also said that a strike of the
polishers, buffers and platers was
brought about by a lengthening OF
the company's workday from nine
to 10 hours.
In due course complaint was
made to the annual convention OF
the American Federation of Labor
of which organization the other
unions are federated members.
The case was reported to the ex.
ecutive council of the federation !;
and this council after examination,
on April %, 1907, over the sigma.
ture of Samuel Gompers, president
of the federation, issued a special
notice to all the affiliated unions
embracing some $4,000 local unions
that the Bucks Stove & Range
Co. of st. Louis, Mo, was unfair
to union labor
That is to say, Mr.. Gompers pro-
claimed a boycott.
In the subsequent issues of the
federation monthly, the American
Federationist, the name of the
Bucks Stove & Range Co. appear
ed in what is called the I'VE Don't
Patronize" column. Other labor
papers were request to do like
wise.
The president of the Bucks
Stove & Range Co. was Mr.. James
w. Van Cleave. who at the same
time was president of the National
Manufacturers association, which
includes the steel and other trusts !;
first vice president of the Citizens
