Mail Order House Seeks Protection Of
United States Courts.

Word was received in Chicago that
the attorney general of the United
States would be appealed to by a
New York mail order house to stop
the use of the little stickers" of the
International Typographical Union on
the ground that they are a secondary
boycott and in restraint of trade be-
tween the states. The '"stickers" are
placed on printed matter received by
union men that does not bear the
union label. Recently a New York
company sent OFT 10000 catalogues to
all parts of the United States. Many
were returned bearing the 'stickers"
upon which is printed: Returned be-
cause of absence of the union label.

first instance on record that an At

on earth.

control. So we started out under Pas

while the returns are not all in of the
dead and wounded, we know that our
expedition is pretty near used up.
The African buffalos live in marsh,
where the grass and cane grow high
above them, and the only way you
can tell where they are is 20 watch the
birds flying around sand alighting on
the backs of the animals to eat wood
ticks and gnats. The marsh Is SO
thick with weeds that man cannot
go into it, SO we planned to start the
afrship on the windward side of the
marsh, after lining up the whole force
of helpers, negroes and white men.

lee side of the marsh Pa and the

Pa had a bunch of Roman candles to
scare the buffalos.

men had worked on for a week, it run
in the shape of a triangle, or a fish
net, with a big corral at the middle. |
Mr.. Hagenbach sent up rocket to /
notify Pa that he was ready to have
him scare the buffa1os out of the
marsh and down the fence into the
corral.

grass and watch the airship, looking
as savage as lions eating raw meat.
