ORGANIZED LABOR BILL.
Was introduced in Congress Monday
by MIR. Wilson-Bill Will Hardly
Be Considered During the Extra
Session

hO CoOAeu DuI"S ahc EAoa
Session.
Washington, March 29.-The bill
on which organized labor center most
of its energies at the next regular ses-
sion has been introduced to the house
by Representative Wilson, of Penn
sylvania.
Representative Wilson's bill is both
an anti-injunction measure and a
measure intended to exempt labor or
CARNATIONS from the operation of the
Sherman law. It would also make
the boycott legal. 1t would prevent
the issue of injunction in labor dis
putes unless necessary to prevent ir-
reparable injury to property or to a
property right. Moreover, the bill
would exclude labor from considera-
ton as property. A further feature
of the bill is that it would permit
agreements and combinations be-
tween farmers.
While the Federation of Labor will
make a hard struggle to get some
thing done at the regular session, the
outlook cannot be regarded as good.
One feature of the Wilson bill pro-
yfdes that no agreement 10 do or not
to do thing in a labor dispute sh III
be punishable or actionable unless
the thing agreed on would have
been actionable If done by one man
This is a feature of the English
trades dispute act OF 1906.

Why Not a Duty on Lumber?

The Charlotte Observer
All the men prominently connect
ed with the forest conservation
movemnt, including Chief United
States Forester Clifford Pinchot,
agree that free trade in lumber, so
far from tending to conserve Ameri-
can forests, might actually promote
their destruction. Forester Schenck,
of the Bi1tmore estate, whose opin-
ion can be questioned no more for
its honesty than for it's intelligence,
holds that timber, like anything else,
liable, not when cheapened. Our
forests have been recklessly slaugh-
tered hitherto because they had lit
tie value; now that their products
bring good prices, conservation
teaching makes rapid headway. Ger
many's scientific forestry system, he
points out, was born OF high-priced
timber. Mr.. Pinchot, chiefly for the
reason that this country's remaining
timber is still three times Canada 's
does not think that free lumber
would affect prices materially II
he did expect such a result from the
removal of duty, he would take g
stand in opposition. These expires.
sions, coming from such men and
thoroughly reasonable besides, carry
with them very great weight indeed
Lumber is an important Southern
product. and the South probably has
more cause than any other section
to look with disfavor lumber alto
gether tariff free. Let us consider
too, that the South, as the announc
ed intention to cut low grades only
among textiles would indicate, will
get something less than its fair du'
in any event. Then why should an.
| Southern Congressman oppose :
moderate duty-even a strictly rev
enue duty-upon lumber? We con
fess that we do not see.

Oklahoma City, March "a de-
tachment of Crazy Snakes band of
belligerent Indians was surrounded
by deputy sheriffs this afternoon near
Crazy Snakes home, and lively bat
tie ensued. More than 200 shots
were fired and one Indian was kill
ed. Eight Indians were captured and
the remainder fed with the deputies
in pursuit.
There were about fifty Indians in
the band, and they had taken refuge
in a house. The deputies had tracked
them for some distance. Advancing
from all sides, the posse fired vol
ley at the frail house. The Indians
rushed out, scattered among the
trees and made a valiant defense.
The posse, firing steadily, advanced
and routed the band. None of those
captured is seriously injured, but it
| is said that number of other In
dians were hit with bullets.
Crazy Snakes band apparently has
broken up into numerous small
| groups. 1t seemed at nightfall that
each Indian was trying to accomplish
his own escape without regard for
the grand dreams of the chieftain to
realize which they were called to-
gether Sunday by the smoke of the
signal fires. All efforts at organized
resistance seemed to have been
dropped.
| The militiamen, too, scattered in
bands, and invaded the hilly wooded
region of the Creek nation In deter
mined effort to hunt down both lead
ers and members of the war party.
The soldiers soon captured eight
members of Crazy Snakes forces.
| Tonight it was thought that Crazy
Snake had carried out his last nights
intention of seeking refuge in the
Hickory Hills and that he was sup
ported there by some of his chief fol-
lowers.
Despite all the talk about Crazy
Snake, officers have yet to find any.

Oklahoma City. Okla, March as
Five companies OF Oklahoma militia
marched tonight against Crazy
snakes band oil Greek Indians, half
breeds and negroes, entrenched In the
Hickory Hills, seven miles from Hen
ryetta.
A battle is regarded as inevitable,
as the heavily-armed troops set out
either to capture or exterminate the
murderous band, which since Thurs
day has caused the death of six men,
the wounding of many others. and
brought about condition of terror
Leaving Henryetta at o'clock with
seven miles to go, and encumbered
with arms and equipment, it was ex-
pected the troops could not reach the
indians before o'clock.
Crazy Snakes men number about
200, all armed with modern rifles and
plentifully supplied with ammunition
They had prepared for two months
for this final stand against lawful au-
thority. They sent out word to-day
that they would fight to the death.
Crazy Snakes band strongly en-
trenched itself early in the day and
was reinforced from time to time

killed the deputies, told the officers
how to trail the band and did every
thing stoical Red Man is supposed

This first real Indian uprising of
years has held this region on edge
| for three days. 1t broke out last
Thursday when several deputy shef-
| ifs went to Henryetta to arrest negro
cattle thieves. They were fired on
| by negro half-breed friends and
forced to retreat. Returning with
additional forces, they were fired on
by the band, then augmented by some
of Crazy Snakes Indians. Three ne
groes were killed and five wounded,
according to the official reports, al
though it is thought that many more
| Indians were wounded. This clash
resulted in forty-one arrests.
Marshal Edward Baum and Deputy
Sheriff Herman Odom were the dep
uties killed.
