The supreme court Yesterday laid
down the principle that a man con-
victed by the federal authorities OF
breaking into q postoffice and punished
for such could also be punished by the
state courts II It was disclosed that he

They broke into the postoffice at Rein

private Office OF the postmaster and
back Of that the printing plant of the
newspaper OF which the postmaster is
proprietor.
The stamps and other property Of
the government was in the safe in the
private office along with money be-
longing to the government and also
money belonging 10 the newspaper.
The burglars didn't discriminate as to
the money. It all looked good to them
and they took it. They were punished
by the government, the federal courts
finding them guilty. When tried by the
state courts they put up the pleas that
they had already been punished once
for the offense and could not be pun
ished a second time The supreme
court holds that the government pun
ished only for stealing its property
and that the state has now right to
punish them for stealing the property
of one OF its citizens.

Des Moines, July 2.-The usual or
der of things was reversed when the
Iowa & Illinois railroad today asked
the railroad commission TO make the
farmers cut the weeds in their fields.
Usually the railroad is the derelict and
the Iowa legislature had to pass a law
compelling the railroads TO keep their
right of-way free from noxious weeds
and imposing it on the railroad COM
mission TO enforce the law.
Today the commission received let
ter from the Iowa & Illinois saying
they are keeping their weeds down but
that the farmers are not and they see
no advantage in their keeping them
down Il the farmers don't
'Th commission expects to -igidly
enforce this law against noxious weeds
on railroad land" said Mr.. Ketchum of
the commission today. The matter is
OF vast Importance 10 the people and
especially the farmers but it Is readily
seen that there is little gained by the
railroads keeping the weeds down I'M
less the farmers keep them out of their
fields and from along the fences The
farmers ought too to keep the weeds
down along the highways adjoining
their own land for they will scatter
there as wcH Is a-a3s"here. I. seems 10
me that here is field for the activity
of the county supervisors to see that
farmers do cut the weeds and keep
them from going 10 seed"
The legislature OF two years ago
enacted law against noxious weeds
and in that category ii names the fol-
lowing: quack grass, Canada thistle.
cockleour. wild mustard. sour or curled
dock, smooth dock. buckflorn or ribbed
plaintain, wild parsnip, horse netsle,
velvet weed or button weed, and bur

found to prevail about us at this time.
Each succeeding Labor Day seems to
prlng with 1t some new problem for the
organized workers to solve. This year the

Both contain the essence of the vitality
of the labor cause. Take away either of
these props and the structure is in dan
ger of falling. 1t is not permissible that
labor can endure the downfall of the
closed shop any more than can we afford
20 neglect the power of the label. 1t is
difficult to establish which is the more
potent of the town. but if any dis
unction might be made it would have
to hc in favor of the label. for if it is
allowed to attain the power which it
should. practically all other things will
follow. Stick to the label through thick
and thin. and there will be very few
open shops. for the reason that it will
not pay any employer to have one. That
is where our duty lies, and there only will
success be found

LABORS FIGHT FOR JUSTICE.

The West Virginia State Federation of
Labor entered the fight against the OPP
preston of labor at the last session of
the Legislature, in earnest, and through
the untiring and able efforts of President
William f. Wclch and his assistants
caused the Legislators to Sit up and take
notice; and while the result Melted but
little i'll IL Legislative way, it paved the
way for greater accomplishments in the
future if organized labor OF the entire
State will unite and assist in the continu-
:imcc of labor S fight for remedial Iegisla-
ton.
The Federation will continue with re
newcd vigor its campaign for the pas
sage of the Employers Liability Act, the
''Guard - Bill, the Misrepresentation Bill
and several other needed labor measures,
and will need the assistance and 60. opera
ton of every union man in the State to
win their battle against the enemies of
organized labor in West Virginia. 1t not
only requires financial, but moral aid and
assistance. The time has arrived when we
can expect nothing from public officials
and employers unless back up our de
mamds with united action on the part of
tn" toilcrs of the State.
Every union man is II part of the labor
movement in this State. and should use
an earnest and honest effort to have his
local affiliated with the State body. and
assist in tn" work of agitation and organi-
cation, and the elevation of the workers.
You owe it TO yourselves and to those
little ones dependent upon you.
