ASK. DISMISSAL
OF BOYCOTT CASE
Puts It Up to Highest Tribunal to
Decide Whether Publication
Complained of Was Lawful

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. S.
Before the supreme court Of the Unit
ed States tomorrow attorneys for the
American Federation of Labor will
ask to have dismissed the original
nti-boycott judgment issued by
Judge Gould in the now famous Buck
Stove e Range Co. case. Samuel
Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank
Morrison, officers of the federation
under contempt sentence for viola
tion of the injunction, are parties
to the appeal.
This move, in short, puts it up to
the supreme court to decide if the
federation boycott of the Bucks
Stove and Range company in it's
organ, the federatiOnist, was a law
full procedure. The court of appeals
of the District of Columbia ws held
that it was not and with some mod
ifications has sustained Judge
Gould's injunction.
The Buck Stove & Range company
has also filed an appeal to the su-
preme court of the United States
against the notifications, claiming
the original injunction has been so
altered as to be practically of no
value for the purpose for which 1t
was sought. The American Fedora
tion of Labor will argue that no in
functions have been issued in the
first court and ask for complete dis
miSSal.

considerable space is devoted to
the sugar frauds, which, the president
says, are humiliating.
The white slave" traffic is dis
cussed.
Speaking general, President Taft
says the country is in Il high state
Of prosperity. He notes the increase
in the cost of living, but says the
tariff is not the cause. In those
products of the factory and farm
there has been no increase in the
tariff and in many instances a very
considerable reduction. He asks for
ii tariff board.
President Taft says he is convinc-
ed the people desire postal savings
ba nks and that they will be product
i've of utmost good.
The president mentions the neces-
eity for legislation looking to the
further conservation of natural re-
sources and announces that special
message in this subject, including
that of waterways reclamation, irri-
CATION, reforesting, etc, will be sent
to congress early.

TRAINMEN DENY
STRIKE REPORTS
Brotherhood Officer Assures Presi-
dent Taft Tfev Are Without
Foundation-Ru Dcrs Pre-
mature.

CHICAGO, Dec. S.-'Nilliam G
Lee, president of the Brotherhood Of
Railroad Trainmen, tonight sent Il
message to President Taft assuring
him that sensational reports regard
ing general railroad strike We're
without foundation.
Following is President Lees mos
sage to President Taft:
I'm order that yourself and the
public may know the truth, l deem
it necessary to state that the press
reports indicating that a strike OF
the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men and other affiliated orGaniza-
tions is threatened at this time as
result of the demands made for
increased pay in the territory east
of Chicago are absolutely without
foundation.
whatever action is taken by the
organization | represent will depend
entirely upon the individual express
sion of members through the general
commission for the railways in the
territory and will be handled in the
usual manner. The demands Of the
train employees in train and yard SER
vice east of Chicago cannot take
proper form even for deliberate con-
sideration between the railway Off
cials and their employees before the
early part of 1910.
"All this talk about strike of
the brotherhood Of Railroad Train
men and affiliated organizations is
absurd and the membership of the
organization fully realize it."

the work.
The application of Thomas Connor
for renewal of his license to sell IL
qucr at SatsOp was granted. A re-
monstrance against the renewal of
the license was filed, but as no rea-
sons were given, nor did those pres
ent in person have any complaint to
make against the manner in which
the saloon has been conducted, the
board felt that Mr.. Connor was en-
titled to a license.
Commissioner Davis and County
Engineer Robertson were instructed
to confer with the state highway
commission and ascertain what
amount of state and road money
during 1910, and endeavor to have
the same expended to the best ad-
vantage of the county.
A communication was received
| from Vet Hart of Oakville to the ef-

ty for county road" purposes, the
a kick. Again, the fact that the fran
chise as published is not the one
granted, by reason of the preconceiv-
ed amendments, might delay it, and
be the means of showing the affair
up in court. The Herald is not a
lawyer, but simply throws out sug-
gestions.
But, there is a remedy that does
not require lawyers opinion to tell
it's province. Call grand jury. Pro-
moter Abel refused to tell in public
the names of his backers in this
scheme, but the actions of Commits
sioner Davis and Arland are such as
to justify the suspicion that they had
personal interests in sacrificing the
roads of the public in this wild cat
scheme. Both of those gentlemen
are, or have been engaged in logging,
and none who know them would ever
suspect them of granting such rights
of way over their logging roads with
out their having been touched. )"
Yet, those gentlemen, elected to safe
guard the interests of the people vol
unfairly give away rights that on
the market today are worth at least
$4,000, and may be worth ten times
that sum in ten years
Mr.. Abel refused to tell who was in
the deal, but proper grand jury
sticking the probe into the county
commissioners-wou be empower
ed to compel him to tell all about
deal that is so crooked on it's face
as to justify but one conclusion as
to those two ommissioners-com
ity or idiocy, either Of which would
vacate their offices.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
President Taft Sends Annual Message
to Coneress-Synopsis of the
Document.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. O.
The presidents anual message to con-
gress was submitted Monday. 1t
contains 5000 words, which is rath-
G, shorter than the average.
The part of the message which at
tracted the most attention was found
in connection with the treatment of
the Zelaya incident, of which the
president spoke "sad tale of un-
speakable barbarity." The president
promises to send a special message
TO congress dealing entirely with the
Nicaraguan affair.
Economy in expenditure and suffi-
cheney of revenue are urged to meet
the treasury deficit.
The president declares it unwise
to attempt further revision of the
tariff until the facts are at hand upon
which such revision can be properly
undertaken.

I had always before found it a pleas

the change in it was amazing. The
prodigality of light struck me first,
and then its gala-air; it was as If 1t,
too, were receiving congratulations in
it's best clothes along with it's mis-
tress. There were flowers every.
where. L am fond of all flowers but
those taken by another man to the
girl I love. Ankony's flowers overran
the south drawing room; they were
on the three-cornered piano that had
belonged to Barbara's mother, on the
quaint cabinet with ormolu mounts
and parquetry paneling that had been
her great-grandmother's, on her grand
mothers mahogany table, and on man
tel and shelves and cases.
Their fragrance met me at the
threshold and stopped me there az II
it had been funeral fragrance. With q
shiver l crossed quickly to the library.
There was no light there but a dim
freight. The library, evidently. was
not receiving congratulations, and l
entered with a sigh of thankfulness

minute looking at these upon the
table, then l picked up the big crystal
bowl and carried it across to the
drawing room, where I set it down
not too gently.
Presently l heard Barbara's step in
the hall. 1t sounded a little languid,
I thought.

of the California Fig Syrup Co. and tho
scientific attachments of its chemists have
rendered possible the production of Syrup
of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA, in all of its
excellence, by obtaining the pure medic
inal principles of plants known to act most
bene6cially and combining them most
skillfully, in the right proportions, with
its wholesome and refreshing Syrup of
California Figs.
As there is only one genuine Syrup OF
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA and as the gen.
uine is manufactured by an original
method known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, it is always necessary to buy the
genuine to get its beneficial effects.
A knowledge of the above facts enables
one to decline limitations or to return them

of the California Fig Syrup Co. is not found
printed on the front thereof.
