Sulzd DGtIGS
Judge Wright

Washington, March 6.-The con-
tempt proceedings against President
Gompers, Vice-President Mitchell and
Secretary Morrison are again in pro-
gress. The last witness for the Fed
GRAFTON officials was Congressman
Sulzer. 1t will be remembered that
after the injunction was issued
against the American Federation of
Labor in the now famous case, Con
gresham Sulzer made speech in
the house of representatives in
which he Incorporated an, editorial
from the American Federationist,
containing discussion of the CON
troversy. Thirty thousand Of these
speeches were mailed to all sections
OF the country. The congressman in
his testimony before Justice Wright
admitted that he knew the boycott
was on and also that large num-
Der of copies of his speech were
ranked. He was pressed for an ex-
'planation as to why he had made the
speech on March II, 1908, the day
after the meeting of the executive
council of the American Federation
of Labor and he day before the pro-
test conference of the labor officials.
In answer Mr.. Sulzer said, II make
speeches when, the spirit moves me
and can get recognition from the
speaker. This matter of the injunc-
ton / deemed to be of sufficient pub
lie moment to demand wide publici-
ty. The Congressional Record being
one of the cheapest agencies for pub
licity, simply used that means OF
placing the subject before the citi-.
zens at large In answer to Ques-
tions from the attorneys as to how
many copies were distributed, Con-
gresham SulzeF replied: 81 don't
know for sure, but only regret that
there were not more sent out" The
attorneys endeavored to bring out
that the congressman had been asked
by some official of the Federation to
make the speech Incorporating the
editorial, but the congressman stated
that he had been receiving the Amer
lean Federationist regularly for many
years and that he inserted the edi-
torial in his speech on his own init
alive. With the testimony of Con-
gresham Sulzer the Federation case
IS closed, and after rebuttal by the
committee, arguments
will be had before the full court.

resolution and mail it i@mmediately
to Victor L. Berger, House of Repre-
sentatives, Washington, D. G.

mands. Hundreds of thousands of
personal letters sent to the members
of Congress will have tremendous
effect and will win the day for the
political freedom of the women of
the United States.
Only few days ago through your
resolutions and letters you forced
Congress to take action regarding the
Lawrence strike and forced the .au
thorities to cease their Cossack-like
brutality toward the women and
children of Lawrence.
You have shown your power. Now
force the members of Congress to
give to the women of the United
States the same protection accorded
to the men, the right of the ballot.
Act at once. Victory is in sight.

Washington, March 6.-From re-
ports in the daily press and communi-
cations received at the office Of the
American Federation of Labor, the
Lawrence strike presents q state of
affairs which calls for condemnation
of the state and city officials. The
brutality that has been shown, to-
gether with the usurpation Of the
rights of the people, is deplorable
and demands not only searching in
vestigation, but the application Of Sc
we're penalties to those who assume
to be greater than the law. Three
resolutions have been introduced in
congress seeking an Investigation,
and the president of the United
States has instructed Attorney Gem
eral Wickersham to ascertain wheth-
er the federal law has been violated.
Representative Butler Ames, who
represents the district which includes
Lawrence, is in that city making a
personal investigation and it is re-
ported that he has said that these
men and women cannot@ suffer much
longer. They may be compelled to
rise in armed revolt against the OPP
preston, if the present state Of af-
fairs Il allowed to continue. There
are in Lawrence also agents Of the
department of commerce and labor
watching developments. Pursuant
I'd the resolutions introduced in the
house i hearing win be held before

ment which is hoped to be OF great
benefit 10 this city and county, the

the creation of interest Of those upon

The picnic was arranged through
the efforts OF the local chamber OF
commerce, who planned for a general
gathering from the surrounding couh-
try, with a free barbecue, band con-
cert, speeches and other attractions
to draw the crowd. The work OF pro-
curing a special train over the Tucum-
carl q Memphis railway to the farm
was begun week ago in order TO give
cheap transportation to and from the
ground. Notices of the event were
sent out to all of the newspapers
throughout this section of the state.

pertinent farm during the past year

waited Milo maize, kaffir corn, millet,
broom corn, cotton, COW peas, wheat,
Mexican beans and large variety OF
other food products are included IN
this list
The work of threshing the spring
wheat was commenced this week, the
yield being little over eight bushels
to the acre although the remainder
of the crop viii bring the average
much higher than this, it is said A
silo is now being constructed on the
farm to take care of the winter feed,
and many other improvements are be
ing made in the shape Of warehouses
and other buildings. This is the first
year under aid from the national gov
eminent, and it is planned to greatly
enlarge the operations next year.
Farmers COnfented.
There is noticed this fall the first in
dication of contentment among the
farmers of Quay county. A feeling OF
coming prosperity prevails. due no
doubt to the heavy rain and snow fall
of the last year, but in part arising
from a natural development of the
country. The dissatisfied ones are
gradually leaving the country. leaving
the real developers behind. Crops are
being selected with better judgment,
it is said, and more consistent effort
expended upon their cultivation. This
year thousands of acres Of wheat were
sown with a yield ranging from 10 to
so bushels an acre. This is being
threshed at present. \ Mr.. Winning
ham from the south of here was the
first to market wheat this year in
Tucumcari, having brought to the local
markets the first load this week.

narrowing is growing more and
more into favor it is said. Where the
soil is properly and continually har-
rowed. crops are the almost universal
result. Advantages in every direction
are being taken Of conditions. The
scarcity in fodder crops during the past
has caused the farmer to exercise his
ingenuity in feeding his stock and this
has developed the fact that many
native plants may be used as feed in
an emergency. The wild persley is be-
ing thus employed as isalso the Russian
thistle which is sweeping this section.
This latter plant is being moved while
young and stored for later use. 1t
is said that cattle eat il readily. This
also helps keep down this nuisance.
Bean and Melon Crops Good.
The crop of beans, water melons and
cantaloupes will be the largest this
year in the history of the county.
Farmers everywhere are raising beans
which always insure paying crop.
But it is in dairying and the raising
of butter fat for the market that
most is promised. Cream brings on
the local markets from 20 to 26 cents
a pound and hundreds Of gallons are
weekly being sent from this part. Two
large dairies, those Of Lee Hamilton
and the Berry brothers supply big
portion of this city. Mr.. Hamilton will
raise this year more than 100 acres

Work For Local Market.
a movement is now on to establish
better local market for the handling
of the wheat crop of the county

merce being at work on the matter.
An effort has been made during the
last year to open a municipal pro-
duce house and cold storage plant IN
this city in order to take care of the
output of the farms in a profitable
manner. At present farmers have diff
ficulty at times in disposing of their
goods after they have brought them
to town
The wheat crop this year will ap-
proach a yield OF 1000 bushels, it Is
thought and the local merchants are
trying to see that this IS handled
profitably here for the producer.
Well irrigation on small scale is
being practiced in the country es-
pecially in the raising of vegetables,
although there are several instances
in the county where a good acreage
is being thus taken care Of
In all, 1t is generally felt that an
other year will show marked changes
in the farming industry of this vicinity.
