~1s5T-S@>1SE65] s5Sssss 5as federation of labor
has for some time
past been in communication with or
ganizations in all parts of the state in
the matter of forming farmers unions
along the lines Of similar organizations
In the east and south, and of having a
state farmers label to be used on all
products sent to market by members.
AS the farmers unions are not aff1li-
ated with the American federation of
labor. they will have to adopt an in
dividual label. Bell has received many
encouraging reports. and the indica-
tions are that strong associations will
be formed.
At the last meeting of the federated
trades and labor council of Fresno,
where the movement is making con
siderable progress among the growers
OF fruit and cereals, the work of the
local farmers unions was indorsed and
a. committee consisting of A Sorenson,
E. F. Eide of the farmers union and
and Thomas c. Seward of the council
were appointed and Instructed to visit
San Francisco for the purpose of ad-
dressing the central labor bodies and
getting them interested in the work of
the union.
The council adopted the following
resolutions:
AS the farmers are the chief produc-
ers of wealth and their prosperity is
essential 10 the welfare of all other
classes, and as we realize that re-
newed prosperity to the agricultural
masses viii bring vigor to all branches
of industries, thereby giving employ
that the fruit growers of California are
not receiving adequate returns for
their product, owing to the manipula-
tion of the market by specuIetors
while the consumers are in many in
stances forced to pay exorbitant prices
for the necessities of life we of the
federated trades and labor council. be-
ing in the midst of the raisfn growing
district, and knowing the conditions as
they actually exist, do heartily indorse
the farmers union and promise to aid
II in its efforts to better existing con-
ditlons Tor both the producers and the
consumers. and we further approve of
placing on the market "a strictly
farmers union label" brand of raisins
and fruits which will stand for honest
goods, put up under sanitary condi-
tions.
The Fresno union proposes to bring
this matter before all central labor
bodies in the state

Don t Be a Drug Slave

It's only a short step from drug
dosing TO the drug habit and thou
sands of sufferers are enslaved that
way every year.
Any drug that gives relief con-
tains poison or combination of
poisons. Such relief can not be per-
manent, for it lasts only as long
as the poison is working. When
the effect of the drug passes away
the trouble returns worse than
ever. That calls for still larger
dose each time, and always at the
expense of the nerves and vitals.
When you take a patent medi-
cine or a doctors secret prescrip-
ton just remember that you are
feeding your nerves with morphine,
cocaine or some other poison, and
that if you continue taking it.
sooner or later it will get the best
of you.

MYSTERY SHROUDS
MOlLfR'S SUICIDE
Friends of Dead Army Officer at
Loss to Understand Reasons
Which Prompted the Act

Mystery still enshrouds the reasons
that prompted Lieutenant John J..
Moller, U. S. A, to kill himself. The
army officer committed suicide in New
York Monday. His widowed mother,
who is at Monterey, is completely
bowed with grief. She can assign no
cause for her sons action. His friends
and comrades at the Presidio, many of
whom were his classmates at West
Point, are equally unable to offer any
explanation of the affair
Moller was the only child of his
widowed mother, who is well off fnan-.
cfally. For this reason money affairs
are not believed to play any part in the
tragedy. Mrs. Moller has been with
her son ever since he graduated from
West Point, June Is, 1904 She was in
the Philippines with him, and when
the Eighth infantry came back to this
coast she went with the regiment to
Monterey, and since then has been with
him in the garrison, where their quar-
ters were among the handsomest in the
post. Moller was popular with his as
sociates.
He was expected to return to the
post Monday and in expectancy of her
sons arrival Mrs. Moller had the home
decorated to welcome him. At the very
time she was expecting the train to
come in a sentry handed her tele-
gram from New York. advising her of
her sons death. The woman fell faint
ing. The women of the post rendered
all assistance possible.
Moller was to have taken prom
inent part at the mardi gras fete at
Monterey last night. The invitations
TO the event were at once withdrawn,
out of respect to the dead officer The
ball which was to have taken place at
Fort Mcdowell last night also was
postponed by order of Colonel c. W.
Mason, the commander of that post
Love Affair RumOred
NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-Speculation
was rife in army circles today over
the motives that could have driven
Lieutenant John j. Moller of the Eighth
infantry to commit suicide last night.
AS result a story was revived that
the young army officer had been Tilted
less than a year ago by a young woman
with whom he had become acquainted
while stationed at Governors island,
and to whom he had been attentive up
TO the time of his departure for the
Philippines.
When he returned it was with the
idea of renewing his suit for the
womans hand.
Upon landing at San Francisco, how
ever, he learned that during his abb
sence she had become engaged to an
other. and this preyed on his mind, his
friends declare.
Three young women called at the
morgue late tonight and requested per-
mission to see the body of Lieutenant
Moller- They appeared deeply moved
and the youngest inquired for a ring
which she said the lieutenant had worn
on his left hand. She was told that
the ring was in the possession of the
police.
