LABORERS LIVE BETTER
THAN QUEEN ELIZABETH DID

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-"The
average laborer is today living better
than Queen Elizabeth did in her
time" said James Wilson, secretary
of agriculture, upon his return today
from a months vacation on his Iowa
farm He was discussing the pros
porous farmers of the west and the
high wages of the woriingman in the
East. Take the meat bills Of the
laborers in Washington today he
continued. You will find that they
eat meat three times Il day and they
want the best cuts. AS result the
price of meat is away up. While the
farmers are producing more beef ev-
cry year, they are not producing
enough to meet the increase in popu-
lation. do not look for the prices to
decrease materially soon.

TO RECOVER STATE LANDS.
Legislative Committee Plans to Re
cover Grants of Lands Taken
in Forest Reserve.

SEATTLE, Sept. 1S.-The legisla-
tive investigating committee, of
which Senator p. l.. Allen is chais-
man, will make one more roundup
of the state educational institutions
before concentrating all its efforts
on the state land office. Unless there
is some special reason for it, none of
the state offices save that of Commits
sioner E. w. Ross will be probed.
Under the direction of Senator II.
c.. Fishback, experts have been por-
ing over the land commissioners re-
cords and no attempt will be made
to hold hearings until the records
are traced out 1t is expected the
educational institutions will be visit
ed next month and Olympia cannot
be reached before November.
Probably strong representations
will be made to the interior depart
ment regarding the states losses of
school and granted lands. This state
has 100000 acres of school and gran
ted lands tied up in the forest re-
serves, and Chief Foretser ford
Pinchot has opposed all efforts to
procure either these or lieu lands.
The investigating committee purposes
ascertaining the exact condition of
the states land holdings, and if
conditions warrant it will appeal to
the highest authorities in Washing
ton for help.
The committee is unlimited as to
time now, and Chairman Allen will
keep it alive and ready for business
until the next Legislative session is
convened. It's program however,
does not go beyond the educational
institution inquiry and land office
investigation.

Care and system are the halfway
houses to happiness and If Mrs. Nc
Quillum was anything she was care
full and systematic. little while ago
she had occasion to go out and leave
the house to take care of itself. But
the grocer was expected. and unless
he was warned he would leave his
commodities on the doorstep and thus
advertise the fact that the house was
unprotected. Therefore Mrs. McQuil-
lum wrote this note, "All out; don't
leave anything" and pinned it on the
front door.
When she returned her note was no
longer on the front door, and there
was a nasty, empty sort of sensation
about the greater part of the house.
Everything Of value had disappeared.
She found her note on the dining
table. But line had been added to it,

PLENTY OF WORK FOR
EVERY MAN IN STATE
Labor Commissioner Hubbard Says
That All But These Who Seek
Snaps Can Find Work.

OLYMPIA, Sept. 1S.-"It is safe
to say that there is work for every
man in the state who wants to work
and is not looking for a snap" said
Charles F. Hubbard, state labor COM
missioner today in discussing the Ia
Dor situation. He added that prac-
tically all of the mills in the state
are running and that this is shown
by the fact that the collections in
his office are above normal for this
time of the year
AS for the single mill strike down
in Chehalis county, where the weav-
ers have walked out because their de-
mand for increased pay was refused
by the mill owners, he says that up
to this time he has paid little atten-
ton to the strike. He believes that
the matter will adjust itself within
a very short time, although at pres
ent practically all of the mills in the
county are closed down.
Commissioner Hubbard is still in
vestigating the case of the eight fe-
male laundry workers who were dis
charged by Seattle firm because
they did not go to work on Labor
Day, ATTENDING the exposition instead.
He says he is probing into the matter
and may not be ready to take any
formal action for few days yet.

STARS AND STRIPES
PUT END TO STRIKE.

PITTSBURG, Sept. 1.-THE second
strike of workmen employed at the
plant of the Pressed Steel Car Com
pany, which was declared Monday.
was brought to an abrupt end today.
The climax was remarkable in the
history of industrial disputes.
Having notified the foreigners that
they intended to march into the mill
carrying the Stars and Stripes, p
600 American workmen who were not
favorable to the strike assembled
early at the McKees Rocks, end of
the O'Donovan bridge, and cheering
enthusiastically,st started toward the
big plant.
On the way 1900 Croatians and
500 Italians joined the march. When
the gates were reached, 1000 Slavs,
Russians and Poles who had threat
ened trouble in the event that any
of the men attempted to enter the
works, were encountered. These,
toe. fell into line and entered the
plant. The strike was over.
1t is believed now that the trou-
BILE has been settled definitely.
