Farmers Kill Woives.-Two fine
specimens OF wolves are dead, FIVE
are injured more or less seriously,
and about a score of farmers in the
vicinity of Buffalo are satisfied, as
the result Of two days hunt for
the animals. In the raid through
the woods in the southern part of
the county several animals were
sighted, but only two of those seen
were brought down effectively, the
remaining five shot at escaping with
injuries which will no doubt result
in their death sooner or later. To
John Buchmeier belongs the dis
tinction of bringing down the first
of the animals and John Clever cap
tured the second days honors. Two
were MANNED Wednesday and three
injured yesterday in the progress of
the hunt. a bounty Of SIS each is Of
fered by the county for the pelts of
these animals and the hunt was not
without monetary reward. This,
however, was of secondary consider
alton, as the farmers have reported
losing considerable livestock Of the
smaller variety of late through the
depredations of the wolves.

ing violated the pure food law in

a large number of impure ice cream
cones were being sold throughout the
state.

Bradley Goes to Watertown.-After
spending week at the county jail,
where he begged to be sent to es-
cape thetfury of the whites whom he
claimed were about to lynch him.
Tom Bradley, aged 60 years. one of
the pioneer colored residents OF the
city was committed to the insane
hospital at WATERFOWL, following a
hearing before the insanity commits
sion at Rock Island. 1t is now ru-
mored that Bradley, who resides in
the Incubator" received advance
notice OF the impending clash be-
tween the whites and the blacks and
that it was because he feared vio-
lence at the hands of the whites Of
the vicinity that he begged to be sent
to jail. Bradley has been aresident of this
city for the past 10 years and is a
local character. 1t is not thought
that any injury would have been
done him had he remained at the
Incubator" as he was generally
liked by the white people about the
city. Bradley, however, had been
acting queeriy for months and it was
for that reason that the police dis
credited his tale Of an impending
race riot.

year will extend to Detroit and will
last until Aug. 20. Three members
of the local division are now aboard
the Nashville on a squadron cruise.
George Kemmerling will
not accompany his men this year,
owing to stress of business. He will
attend to the loading and unloading
and will accompany them as far as
Chicago. A few of the men will not
make the trip this summer because
of sickness and business.

PLUMBERS CELEBRATE

A decision in the controversy of the
Master Plumbers has been handed down
by the national organization of Master
Plumbers and Tuesday night the win
ming faction celebrated the victory at
the Brown Palace hotel by wining and
dining. The feasting was indulged in by
that faction which recognizes the Plumb
ers' union.
President John Parry of the Master
Plumbers and Business Agent Frank
Bryan of the Plumbers union were the
principal speakers. An extended pro-
gram of speaking was given and an ex-
cellent luncheon served.
The split came in the master plumbers
when a committee was appointed to
make a settlement with the Plumbers
union. Then an election followed in
which the faction favorable to the union
men was successful, and this organiza-
ton made a speedy settlement with the
Plumbers union. The faction in favor
of the open shop went into court and
restrained the union-shop faction from
drawing on the 81 500 in the bank or TAX
ing charge of the books. The court finally
decided that it would not take 1urisdic-
ton but would leave the national asso-
citation decide the case The decision by
the national association is great VIC
tory for the closed shop people as well
as the Plumbers union

When the Bucks stoves were placed
ON the unfair list by organized labor six
years ago the open" shop advocates
laughed They pointed out that the best
cook stoves and ranges were used by
people who didn't belong to unions; that
union men didn't buy many stoves. any
way, and that long before Bucks stove
would wear out the union men would for
get it.
Then 1t was pointed out that the plac-
ing of the stoves and ranges on the un-
fair list was good advertising and free.
Some earnest well-to-do and rich made
haste to order n range and stove or
two Just to show that they didn't believe
in boycotts. That helped some.
The Manufacturers association chipped
in few thousands to help the good
work of securing long hours and low
wages for workingmen. The Citizens
Alliance and the Anti-Boycotting society.
and few others, came forward to help
along the glorious cause.
Someway the times grew little dull.

Second Largest Organization In America
In Session In Des Moines.

The convention of the United Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners' of
America, is in session at Des Moines,
Iowa, this week and the local union of
that city has made extensive prepara-
tions for the big gathering. The organ
ization is the second largest in the coun-
try, only being outnumbered by the
United Mine Workers The report of
General Secretary Frank Duffy will show
that the International organization num-
bered on July 1st, 200.712 members in
good standing. That aside from these,
there are 700 members who are from
three to six months in Arrears for dues
which prohibits their names from ap
pearing in the general list of members
but whom, in most part, will reinstate
within the next six months That they
have $500 apprentices who will some
day assume membership in the ranks
and that there are now 1,S25 locals in
good standing. During the fiscal year
over a half million dollars have been
disbursed in sick and funeral benefits
besides the regular work of the organiza

Boycotts Start Easy; Hard To Stop

They wanted to sell stoves and ranges
They could not do so TO any satisfactory
extent without peace with organized la
Dor. They made peace. Where no union
man was allowed; where it was sworn
no union man ever should go. where
money backed by law did all it could
and all it dared, there today walks the
union workman and union fellows only
work with him.
1t will take long time to get over the
trouble. The boycott that is allowed TO
continue for years acquires a momentum
that will not slow down in few weeks
quarter of a century ago famous
watch case mandatory tried out the is
sue with organized labir. In three years
il capitulated. but for more than three
wears after this it received back watches
and had orders cancelled by dealers in
South America and Australia. Some OF
its trade 1t never recovered A lurking
suspicion in the minds of worhngmen
turned its product down without word,
and the retail dealer did not know why.
So the Bucks people will find that this
contest with organized labor is like
battlefield that requires years of nature
to cover over with trees and vines and
briars. Not until the infamous proceed
inss in the United States courts that
grew out of the Bucks fight have been
dismissed and labor assured its rights TO
buy where it pleases and publish 10 the
world its friends and enemies will the
Bucks people ind the boycott forgotten.
