$4,000 Acres of Land Are In
Litigation.
st. Landry Clarion.

st. Landry Clarion.
Thirty thousand dollars was lost
for somebody in q few hours last
Saturday - that is, lost if the
Sheriff's legal advisors, Messrs.
Lewis & Lewis, are correct in their
contention that leash sale "
means that tho "cash" must be
produced upon adjudication.
It was q Sheriff's sale, and took
place at the front door of the court
house. The title of the sale was
Robert F. Whitmer vs Charles w.
Krotz. Whitmer is a Pennsylva-
MIA capitalist worth about $780,
600. Charles w. krotz 10 the
owner of Krotz Mineral Springs,
at Latanier, st. Landry parish.
The sale involved about eighteen
thousand acres of timber land in
tho Atchafalaya swamp. Krotz's
Springs, however. and 5000 acres
of Krotz's holdings in the same
country, were not included.
There were two bidders for the
property, at Saturdays sale-Ro-
bert F. Whitmer, through his at
torney, Mr.. Dart, and ]. E. Dun
lap, President of the Peoples Bank
of Plaquemines, La. Whitmer
held a mortgage on the property
for $4,000, while Dunlap held
bonds to the value of some $50, 900
against tho property. After spiri-
ted bidding, the property was ad-
Indicated to Dunlap for $4,000
Attorney Dart at once notified tho
sheriff that he wanted the cash"
money to satisfy his clients mort
gage. Mr.. Dunlap said that it was
not supposed that a man would
valid around with $4,000 on his
person, and asked him for time
to get the money.
Dunlap went to the Opelousas
National Bank, and soon arranged
for cashiers checks on Now Or
leans banks for the amount. This
was rendered the sheriff, and the
sheriff in turn rendered them to
Mr.. Dart, saying that if Mr.. Dart
accepted them he was perfectly
willing to do 80. Mr.. Dart refus-
ed the cashiers checks. He plain
ly wanted the property resold, and
tho sheriff, when tho allotted time
had expired, put it up on the auc-
ton block again, and Dart, for
Whitmer, bought it for $4,000.
Messrs. Lewis & Lewis, attor-
neys for the sheriff, advised that
officer to pursue the course he did.
Tuesday Mr.. E. B. Dubuisson,
President of the Opelousas Ma
tional Bank, walked to the sheriff.
Office with $4,000 in cash, aud
counted it out to the sheriff and
demanded the deed to the proper
ty. The $4,000 was to satisfy the
Whitmer claim. The sheriff. of
course had to refuse the tender,
he having made out the deed to
Whitmer.
And su there the affair hangs.
Fifty thousand dollars is said to
be the largest sum of money ever
exhibited at one time 10 Opelou.

POLITICAL rights
OF LABOR LOCALIZED

The city council Of Krebs, Okla,
has just adopted an ordinance that
plainly emphasizes the political opw-
er of organized labor in that part of
the United States.
The new law fixed a minimum wage
Of not less than 50 a day, which shall
be paid laborers employed by the city
and provides that eight hours shall
constitute a days, work. ....
The ordinance further states that
all mechanics or other skilled work
men shall be paid the prevailing
wages in that vicinity, and the wage
scale Of the unions shall constitute
prima facie evidence of what are the
prevailing wages in each Of the crafts
so organized. .
All contractors and subcontractors
doing work for the city shall be gov
erned by the terms of this ordinance.
The Krebs city ordinance is mod
eled after the one already in force in
Oklahoma City.
The state labor department expects
to secure the enactment of similar or
dinances In other cities within the
state OF Oklahoma, believing that leg.
islation Of this sort will minimize
strikes.

G. 0. P. FAVORS LABOR
Buckeye Republicans Declare in Favor
Of Employers Liability to In
jured Workmen.

The platform adopted by the recent
republican state convention Of Ohio
takes positive stand on the subject
of the liability of employers for injur-
les to workmen in the line Of their
employment, claiming that compensa-
tion for such injuries should be con-
sidered as a part of the cost of pro-
duction. The declaration of the plat
form on this subject is as follows:
I'VE commend the action Of congress
in the creation OF commission to in
vestigate the question of employers
liability laws and worlSmen's compen-
sation acts, and to make recommen-
dations to the president and to con-
gress. We believe that Industrial ac-
cidents to workmen should be treated
as inevitable accidents to industrial
Operations and the compensation there
for as part of the cost OF produc-
ton. The experience of other coun.
tries demonstrates that this principle
can be applied to our Industrial con-
dition without increasing the burdens
of industry"

RIGHTTOCONTRACT
BILL NOW PENDING IN FRENCH
CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES LE-
CALLING AGREEMENTS. ..

Paris, Aug. 6.-In the declaration OF
ministerial policy which NJ. BRAND read
to the chamber Of deputies on June
Q the prime minister announced that
the government intended to introduce
a bill which would enable labor ASSOC
Citations to conclude collective contracts
with the representatives of capital.
The bill, which is backed by the prime
minister, the minister of justice and the
minister Of labor, has now been tabled
IL the chamber.
It provides that an association Of
work people may conclude with an en-
ployer or an association of employers
a collective contract laying down the
conditions upon which alone individual
contracts with any of the parties to
the collective contract may be con-
cluded. Such collective contracts may
be concluded by the authority OF the
members OF a capitalist association or
Of labor union delegated in writing
to their representatives, and con-
tract will be binding upon all members
unless within three days after due no
tice Of the contract has been given they
resign their membership Of the asso-
citation or union. The collective con-
tract must in all cases be in writing,
and a copy must be deposited In every
district to which the contract applies
with the council Of labor arbitrator
and at the office Of the Judge who ar
ranged civil disputes or tries thLri in
the first instance.
Not to Exceed Five Years.
The collective contract may be con-
Guided for an indefinite period of time,
or 1t may run for premeditated Pc
Rod, which In no case must exceed five
years. Contracts thus limited will,
nevertheless, continue to run as IL they
were indeterminate contracts unless
they be expressly denounced. A months
notice from either party will be re-
CURED in order to terminate collec-
tive contract which has been con-
cluded for an indefinite period Of time.
In the case OF collective contracts of
indefinite duration, any individual
member Of either of the contracting as
sociations may withdraw from the con-
tract by giving a months notice to the
civil authorities with whom the con-
tract has been deposited and by re-
signing his membership Of the associa
ton concerned. Separate contracts be-
tween individual employers and en-
ployes will be null and void IL they
are contrary to the stipulations of a
collective labor contract by which the
parties are already bound.
Breach Is Cause for Damages.
Breaches Of collective contract can
be made the subject Of an action for
damages, either by one OF the con-
tracing associations in it's corporate
capacity, or by any Of It's members.

IS IMPORTANT
TO FEDERATE

That the railway department of the
American Federation of Labor should
perfect as many system declarations"
as possible and then employ one or
federation is an apt suggestion made
by Wilbur Briggtne, president of the
Brotherhood of Railway Clerks, in the
current number OF the American Fed
erationist. The report says, In part:
Special attention and effort should
be devoted toward building up and
utilizing this department by the or
CARNATIONS composing IL. When two
or more of these organizations get
enough members on line to permit
each to form separate system organi-
cations they should promptly federate
and secure a charter from the depart
ment
Then as joint resolution, or 'sys-
tenn federation, they should unite in
employing one or more organizers to
complete the work or organizing eff
fectiveiy and to help and teach the
members how to handle the organiza-
ton successfully.
Employ Business Agent.
"And after they have gained con-
tracts with their companies they can
employ one of their number, or more
on a large system, to adjust grievances
with the company, collect dues from
tagging members, and keep the fed
Grafton in healthy working condition
at all times. BY federating and unit
ing in the employment of organizers
and business agents they can not only
materially lessen the cost to each
other, but they will also stimulate the
enthusiasm Of their members and
strengthen their courage and their
faith in the efficiency OF the organiza-
ton, and they win thus make the or
ganization more attractive to nom
members.
THAT this department will ultimate
ly prove Of great benefit to all rail-
way employees none will deny. Even
those not AFFILIATED with the depart
ment concede that 1t is a much needed
