ORGANIZED FARMERS
BOYCOTT MERCHANTS
Action Occasioned by Refusal Of
Snobbish Clerks to Organize
a Union.
Hayseeds Compelled the Mer-
chants to Make Their Clerks
Capitulate.

DE1N1SON,: Texas, Feb. 1.-THE or
sanizeds 71atIner ~ down around Sher
man and. penison Texas, have given
the workingmen in cities and towns
fine illustration Of ding things right.
The pernickerty clerks Of Sherman
couldn't organize. Oh, dear no! They
were not workingmen! Didn't they
wear white shirts and creases. in their
trousers, and weren't they likely to
be eight-dollar clerks today and pro-
prietorS Of department stores a week
from next Tuesday?
But the hayseeds in the baekwoois,
who got the organization fever good
and proper. passed the word along
the line, and when they hitc1aed. up
to go down town for the purpose OF
doing their trading, and arrived at
the forks Of the road the procession,
instead OF going into Sherman drove
to Denfson, where there was a retail
clerks union. In other words the
union farmers quietly put g. boycott
on Sherman, for they wanted to be
waited on by union clerks who had
sense enough to organize.
It Is no credit to the Sherman
clerks to add that, after the merchants
learned why the farmers gave them
the go-by, they compelled their en-
plcyes to form a union. But perhaps
In the fullness OF time the Sherman
clerks will lforget their sissy ideas
and learn that they owe something
to- the usefu lpeople in society who
put up with their boorishness.

DECIDES THAT NURSE
IS NOT 4 LAb0RER
Secretary straus Upsets All Pre-.
cedents of the Department in
His Ruling.
Holds That Nurses do Not Come
Under Prohibitions of Alien
Contract Law.

WASHINGTON, Feb. lin a rul-
ing recently Secretary straus. of the
Department Of Commerce and Labor
overturned string Of contract la:bo,
decisions in the department by de-
claring that a woman studying to be
trained nurse is not contract
laborer, even though she does receive
pay and board from the hospital
where she is working.
The case was that Of Ethel Wright
a young Canadian woman, who had
made arrangements for course OF
study at the Nurses Home in Chi
cago. immigration authorities stopped
her, and set forth in their report to
Secretary Straus that Miss Wright
had contracted to perform certain
services in the hospital, beginning
with cleaning. general housework, etc.
and gradually working up through all
the duties pertaining to q course In
nursing" ...
Commissioner General Keefe, writ
Ing to Secretary Straus about the
case, notified him that the decision o1
the board which made the inVestiga-
tion was unanimous that Miss Wright
was q contract laborer. He cited the
fact that the same. question: had had
the careful consideration Of the de-
partment on several prior occasions, y
and that the importation was a viola
tion Of the alien contract labor law.
Miss Wright having appealed from
the decision of the board, Secretary
Straus &rected the admission of Miss
Wright. He said:
Inls case In no way comes under
the prohibitions Of the alien contract
labor law institutions for the educa-
ton of trained nurses are the most
humane of our educational institu-
tions. am thoroughly familiar with
their organization and operation. The
fact that certain fork Is required OF
the trainee and that certain compen-
sation is allowed during that period
Is nothing more or less than a prac-
tical method applied to the educa-
tional system ,and is in use in the
best homes or institutions for the
training Of nurses.
with all due respect to the opin-
ions that have been delivered by nv
predecessor, I am CONTAINED to con-
clude that they were based upon lack
Of adequate information in regard to
the plan and method Of instruction
that obtain generally in institutions
for the training Of nurses. We might
as we'll regard the cadets at tae
United States military and naval
academies, who receive a certain al
lowance while they are studying as
laborers. instead Of students, as to re-
gard these trainees in nurse institu-
tions as contract. laborers."

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-A resolution

NEW~ YORK, Feb. 11.-That the
union label which was the cause of
the hatters' strike will be the means
OF ending 1t is the prediction made
by many Of the strikers. They say
that by ordering the discontinuance of
the hatters' union label the manu-
facturers "killed the goose that laid
the golden eggs.'
The strikers are spending their time
IN ag1tating for their label. Through
their activity and their friends it is
expected that sufficient pressure will
be brought to bear on the employers
to cause a break in their ranks.
Organized labor throughout the
country is using it's influence on re-
taal store and jobbing house owners
to have them order union label hats.
1t is this moral support OF the or
gan1zed workers which leads the
strikers to believe that the union label

Delegate Carmody, Of the Hatters'
union, in a report to the Central Fed

"Al the factories Of the members
OF the association remain closed and
no move has been made on either
side to change the situation. We hold
that we are in the right and that the
manufacturers struck the first blow

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portions of the ear There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by am iuflamcd condition of tho mucous Hu- ing of the Eustachian Tube When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deaf ness is the rscult, and unless the in- tlammatiou can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in famed condition of the mucous sur faces.

1t looks like such organizations and
effort could do something in getting
crops planted that will yield from $500
to $1,000 to the acre.
The proof Of all these big crop
values would run into a long story,
and more will have to be said OF it in
the future.
The method of organizing and get
ting something started will have to be
worked out by men who have made
business successes and are interested
in building up the community.
The actual work would be hard and
long. It could't be done in day or a
year. but It could be done. and it would
soon bring to the community many
thrifty families from the truck raising
sections of other states. People who
would come for our climate and for
the greater returns they could reap
from their investments and labors.
The goal-a thousand acres more to
high priced crops, and after that
another thousand would soon follow
to 0 dozen smelters.
Isn't it worth thinking over? Isn't 1t
worth some effort?

RYAN DISTRICT
CLRRK FOE A sHORF TnlB

Martin Ryan. whose "reminiscences
Of Canon City back in the early eight
les, were recently reproduced In the
columns of the Daily Record from the
Fargo. North Dakota, Forum and Re-
publican, was for a short time clerk of
the Fremont county district court. and
in that capacity. is remembered by a
few OF our older citizens.
Mr. Ryan was given the position by
Chas. D. Bradley on his appointment
to the district judgeship in 1882 and
held the job until the end of that year
when Chas. D. Hoyt. who had been
elected judge at the preceding Novem-
ber election, succeeded Judge Bradley
on the bench and at once named w. B.
FELTON, to take Mr.. Ryan's place.
Mr.. Ryan's residence in Canon City
is recalled by number of peo-
pie here. among whom are Judge
Waldo, H. N Bsecher and w. l.. Bur-
ton. 1t was during the period imme-
diately following the excitement OF the
discovery of gold at California gulch.
or Leadville, when Canon City was one
of the busiest little communities Of its
size west of the Missouri river. In
spite OF the general prosperity here at
that time Mr.. Ryan's statement that
he received twenty dollars q column
for his contributions Of mental popu-
lum to . local newspaper should be
accepted with . little chloride OF sod
ium. His facetious description of the
transactions Of the city council during
his journalistic career here is said by
old timers to contain more of imagina-
ton than fact.
