MEMBER OF LAW AND ORDER
LEAGUE SAYS CEDAR RAPIDS
AFFAIR WILL BE AIRED.

"Just tell the people for me that
am unapproachable, and will stand
pat" said Sheriff w. w. jackson this
morning when asked his position in
the matter of acceding to the demand
made upon him by the Law and Order
League for his resignation. "You can

I am unapproachable and have attor-
neys in charge of my case. am going
to stand pat. My position. is not
changed from what it was yesterday
when I told you that would fight the
case"
A member prominent in the Law
and Order League stated that pro-
ceedings will be instituted immediate
ly with the attorney general, looking
toward the ousting of the sheriff from
Office. Sheriff Jackson" said he, ten
dered his resignation to the league
committee yesterday, but apparently
had another thought overnight and
withdrew the proffered resignation this
morning. The league has seven afff-
davits to file with the attorney genel-
al. The names of the parties making
the af1davits I do not at present care
to mention Suffice to say, however,
that the Cedar Rapids affair will be
one of the items of interest brought
out in the case of the league against
Sheriff Jackson.
1.-THE filing Of the affldavits with the
governor will bring the case into the
hands of the attorney general, who
will prosecute the case in person,
choosing his own Judge. The case
will be heard in Wapello county"

Seventy Thousand Workers Return to
Work In New York.

New York. The garment-work.

greatest industrial disturbances in
the history Of American labor. ended
Friday night and 10000 workers who
have been out since April will re
turn to work By its settlement
a crisis on the crowded East side
was averted. Thousands were out
Of work and unable to pay rent
and eviction proceedings were SO
numerous that thousands of mothers
and children were on the verge of
being rendered shelterless. Hundreds
had already been forced out on the
streets.
The industrial loss of employers and
employees has run high into the mil
lions. In loss of wages alone the total
has been estimated at more than $780,
100000 while the loss TO manufac-
turers, jobbers and retailers the coun-
try over has been computed at ten
times that amount.
In spite of the stupendous readjust-
ment involved. the strike has been, in
the main, notable for its peacefulness.
There were numerous cases of petty
disorder. and a petition Of the manu-
facturers brought forth from Justice
Golf of the state supreme court an
Injunction in which he ruled that any
strike called to demand the closed
shop was in restraint of trade.
Julius Henry Cohen. counsel for the
manufacturers association, describes
the agreement signed by him and rep
resentatives of the strikers in this
sentence:
mo principle has been surrendered
by the manufacturers, yet the union
may truly claim they have won a
great victory for their people. The
manufacturers believe In the union
and in the principle that all who de
sire its benefits should share in it's
burdens"
One essential of this victory, and
one important not only to the strikers,
but to the nation at large which
wears this output, is the abolition of
all contract work at home Hereafter

manufactured under sanitary condi-
tons. There will be no more sweat.

and other duties are not authorized
by the treaty of 1918.
The tribunal finds that the regula-

enforces must be reasonable and ap-

be the sole judge of their reasonable

OCEAN TRAVEL.

The fact that nearly 1000 first
cabin passengers left New York during
a recent week shows how high the
tide of ocean travel has risen this
summer. The companies were evi-
IDENTITY justified I'm their anticipation
of a busy season. In fact. for several
weeks it has been impossible to get a
berth on any ship. except where plans
were changed and accommodations re.
sold. The figures for the year since
January Lreveal a steady increase In
all classes of travel over the CORE
spending period of last year. Thus in
west-bound ships the increase in first
class passengers has been 2.340. In
second-ciass, 20.7l5, and IN steerage.
72.577. while in east-bound ships the
first-elass figures go up 1909 the sec
ond-class 1859. and the steerage To-
1870. Later In the season. OF course
the balance will be restored by the
returning Americans In the first class
and by the larger number of steerage
passengers bound for their native
lands. The record in every respect Is
remarkable as a demonstration Of the
fact that the sea is no longer an ap-
preciable barrier to international In
tercourse.

As further measure of discour.
aging the giving of undue prominence
to so-called vaudeville" features at
county fairs in Wisconsin, Secretary
of State Frear sent to the secretaries
of the various county and sectional
agricultural associations, about sew
enty-five in number, report blanks
which contain a warning that there is
a penalty IN the law in case of untrue
reports.
These reports form the basis for the
state aid given to county pumpkin"
shows, 80 per cent. OF the bona fide
total of premiums paid upon agricul-
tural and domestic science exhibits be-
ing paid to fair associations as
bonus. The law provides that when
state aid is given, the total of purses
offered in exhibitions of speed" shall
not exceed one-thlrd of the grand total
of premiums. 1t also is required that
a sworn statement be made that no
gambling has been allowed on the
premises and no intoxicants sold Oh
the grounds.
1t is the intent of the law that the
giving of premiums for agricultural ex-
hibits be fostered and the traditional
status of the county fair preserved, as
opposed to a plethora of freak exhibit
