Mushrooms and Toadstools.

The mushroom means the best
known fungi that is oood and safe to
eat There is no grand division of
mushrooms and toadstools All the
larger heshy fungi are toadstools. and
probably most OF them may be fit for
felix to eat--if the truth were known.
There are something like 1880 spe-
cies of toadstools in our temperate
belt About a hundred of these are
known to be eatable, and only about
thirty are known to be poisonous. OF
the thousand-odd unknown varieties
the only way to prove them good or
poison is for some mushroom crank
to experiment and find out

A BLOW TO LABOR

~ >'OOoNSc etOo ONAA' AAoi L
son Grey Otis, owner and pub
Usher of the Los Angeles Times,
started to build himself a fine
residence. He entertained the
old = fashioned and seemingly
reasonable idea that he could
employ whom he chose to do
the work. Union labor thought
differently. A bitter twenty
years war resulted. the climax
of which was the dynamiting
and wrecking of the Times build
ing in September 1910. In the
wreck twenty-one lives were
snuffed out.
The story of the arrest, trial
and confession of the Mcnamara
brothers, union labor leaders,
for the crime, is recent history.
The appalling thing is that any
man can be SO degraded as TO
deliberately plant" the dyna-
mite that wrecked the Times
building and murdered a score
of innocent human beings, as
one of the McNamaras cOnfesseS
doing. When the McNamaras
were arrested, union labor shout
ed itself red in the face denounc-
ing the authorities and in stem
torian tones proclaimed the in
nOcence of the accused. Samuel
Gompers, head of the whole lab
or organization, even went so
far as to charge William j.
Burns, through whose clever de-
tective work the dastardly plot
was unearthed, with planting"
the dynamite that wrecked the
Times building. Now the same
men, Gompers included, are eat
ing their words and rushing to
the front with denunciatory reso-
lutions demanding that these
same McNamaras be hanged.
A union labor man is just as
good as any other man, provided
he behaves himself, is a good citi-
zen and obeys the law. The
trouble with union labor is that
the great mass of it's members
law abiding workers they are
is hoodwinked and worked" to
finish by schemlng coterie of
loud -mouthed leaders who earn
their living by the sweat of their
jaws. If union labor would sur
vive it must rid itself of these
leeches.
1t would seem to be an inner
ent right, under the constitution,
that man has the privilege to
live, move, have his being, toll
and receive stipend therefor
with none to modest or make
him afraid. Union labor de-
clines to recognize that right.
Of course, capital is often op-
pressive, overreaching, an d
grinds the life out of the poor.
Dynamite, destruction of prop
erty, and murder, however, will
never right those wrongs.
Detective Burns indicates that
there are men higher up" who
are responsible for the Times
disaster. If so, let them b
