This fearful spoliation hits the agricultural
classes hardest of all.
If the Farmers Union is to be led into poll
tics at all, there, THERE, is where they
should take hold.
But, no. The made monopolists did not
institute and finance "The American Marine
League" for that purpose. No, STREE The
Trusts don't want to have their outrageous
privileges interfered with No, Stree, Bob
Therefore, when this Republican, Hearst
League took certain Farmers Union leaders
into it's lap, not word was said about those
law-made monopolies. The voracious Trusts,
which sell goods to foreign countries al one

WHAT OF IT? They earn the money, don't
they? They have to compete for the business,
don't they? They are actually doing the
heavy aO0rk for third less than qoe aoouzd
haze to pay, If there acere a zaa0-maade m1onop-

Don't you want your cotton and wheat and
oats carried across the ocean as cheapzy as
possible? Do you care continental who gets
the money! provided the freight rates are the
l0oOest that cam be had?
YOU, to have the J. j. Hill steamers, or the
Harriman-Hearst steamers, take the business
away from those who now have it?
Are you so eager to be at the mercy of the
Trusts and the railroads, on sea as on shore,
that you are willing to have millions of your
money taken out of the postal receipts, and
given to these greedy capitalists, in order that
they may drive their competitors off the
ocean? Don't you know, to your sorrow, that
monopoly would send ocean freights up, just
as monopoly is even now advancing the ex-
pense of living, throughout our privilege
cursed land?
How, in the name of common sense, is it
going to help you, to enable the transcon-
tlnental railroads earn the money that for
elgners now earn?
YOU PAY THE FREIGHT. In the long
run, it comes out of your pockets And don't
you know what would happen, just as soon as
Government aid made it possible for the
American vessels to drive competition off the

Meacham, the new publicity manager

the movement for a better, brighter
and bigger Walla Walla. In his initial
address at a Commercial luncheon this
afternoon in the Dacres hotel Mr.
Meacham said that although he is hired
for the purpose of exploiting the vast
resources of Walla Walla and the sur
rounding country, he desires to be re-
cognized as one of the new citizens of
the community.
The story of the little red hem
said he, has caught one portion of the
people, while the more serious element
is wondering whether Meacham is go

He called attention to the fact that
the A Y. P. is the question of first i'm
portance with the publicity manager,
and that he was going to bend every
effort to give this locality the publicity
so necessary at that event.
"If every man, woman and child
who visits the exposition does not fav-
orably know Walla Walla," said she,
Il will have failed to just that extent"
He then announced the slogan of the
movement, which he gave as follows:

PARIS. May 18.-Eishty unions a.

postmen and telegraphers.
The membership of these organiza-
tons numbers thousands.
They are awaiting orders to walk
out
Although it looked last night as if
the situation were well in hand and
the government expected little more
trouble from the strikers, today the
situation is becoming grave and those
who have not returned to work are
using every device to get the strike ex-
tended, with considerable success.
Just what the result will be cannot
yet be determined, but from adviceA
that have just been received from the
government, it looks as if there would
be no effort at compromise from that
quarter
The strikers declare that more mer
will soon express their willingness to

comes to terms shortly, the strike will
tie up every means of communication
in the republic.

DUPLICITY HIDDEN

Conspirators Tried Hard to

NEW YORK, May 1S-In a stren-

James Van Cleave today opened the
convention of the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers. In his report
he defended the aggressive policy pur-
sued by the officers in the contest with
labor leaders. Referring to the SEN
tences imposed on Labor Leaders Nit
chell, Gompers and Morrison. ne said
I'VE defeated them in Washington,
and then the conspirators massed fore
es in Chicago and attempted to fright
en- the national republican convention
into sanctioning un-American propa-
ganda.
With cunning engendered by a
quarter of a century of duplicity the
labor leaders then transferred the
field to the state legislatures. Let me
warn this association that under the
cloak of legislation for defense the
pretended defense of working women
and children, insidious attempts will
undoubtedly be made by the politicians
of trade unions to get special favors
for their organizations"

So Says Mr.. Fox, Who Has
Travelled ALI Over the
United States.

Resolutions strongly favoring the
movement recently set on foot in the
Northwest by John A Fox in the in
terest of an Improvement of the water
ways, were unanimously adopted this
afternoon following the weekly lunch
con of the Commercial club in the
Dacres hotel, the action having been
taken after Mr.. Fox had delivered a
stirring address upon the work he is
doing and the success with which he
is meeting throughout the entire
country. In the course of his re-
marks, Mr.. Fox said:
There is nothing that means so
much to the people of the United
States as cheap transportation, and no
section of the country will be more
benefited than this great Inland En-
pire. Although l had heard many
ley and the Inland Empire, 1 must
say, frankly and candidly, that it has
been a revelation to me. l never re-
allied the magnificence nor the possi
bilities of the West until | had spent

Adopt Resolutions Asking

Not for years has the city of Day

was displayed last night at the meet
ing of over $50 business men from all
sections of the country, who met there
for the purpose of organizing, in or
der to secure one of the four rock
crushing establishments which are be-

surrounding towns began to pour into
the city about o'clock and when the

Dayton Commercial club rooms by
President w. E. Cahill, one of the
most representative body of men ever
convened there, was in attendance with
the desire to act in harmony in the
furtherance of the good roads move

When the large tales concerning the
speed of the different automobiles had
been told and when it was finally de-
cided to believe Oscar Drumheler, who
maintained that he had run from Wal

the meeting was called to order with
a few opening remarks by Chairman

Mark Gillian, one Of the committee to
investigate the question of the location
of the proposed rock quarry to be ope-
rated by convict labor. Mr.. Gillian III
few terse sentences rapidly gained
the interest of the audience by stating
that both Governor Hay and the state

been favorably impressed with one of
