made to the stock owners of til,
flooded district of your Parisl
by tho Crowley Board of Trade.
Captain Bennett telephoned t.
the Secretary of the Board o
Trade asking if we could accom-
modate 500 heads of horses ant
mules. The matter was taken al
immediately with some of the larg
rice planters, and they decided t
make the following offer:
Accommodate l25 teams of {
head to team 500 head at iii
ty cents per head per day. Ih
rice planters would feed the team
at their own expenses for thirt
days, also they would pay the me-
regular wages if they were seu
with the teams. After thirty day
if the land was still OVERLOOKED
the rice planters would then pas
ture the teams for another thirt
or 90 days free of cost.
am sure Mr.. Domengsaux mi
understood me when | made hi
the above offer.

URGE GOVERNMENT TO
ACQUIRE WIRE LINES
Exiled Telegraphers in Canada
Petition Congress to Own
Telegraph Systems.

Congress is being petitioned by
thousands of telegraphers to take over
the commercial telegraphs and make
them part of the postoffice system.
A petition signed by fifty American
telegraphers now employed in Winni-
peg, Manitoba, has also reached con-
gress.
The signers of the petition from
Canada declare that they have been
blacklisted by the Western Union and
Postal telegraph companies on ac
count of their union affiliations and
that after being compelled. to wander
over the United States seeking en-
ployment they were forced into exile
in order to earn a livelihood.
The exiled Americans urge congress
to- establish government owned tele-
graphs according to the recent re-
commentator of Postmaster General
Hitchcock. The only bill before con-
gress providing a comprehensive plan
for the purchase and establishment
of postal telegraphs is the one intro
duced by Berger this winter.

incarcerated in San Quentin.

HOWEiS GREAT NAVAL
PICTURES AT LYCEUM

The destiny of nation today de-
ponds on it's navy to such a great ex-
tent that the U. S. government has
long felt it advisable to impress the
Importance and magnitude of "Our
Navy on the minds of the American
people. With that object in view the
government assembled in the Hudson
River, last November the most for
midable fleet of floating fortresses
that had ever been modified in this
country. At the same time Lyman
H. Howe's photographers were invited
to accompany the official reviewing
boats SO as to reproduce every scene
and incident for the benefit Of the
entire nation. Mr. Howe will pres
ent his authentic and exclusive re-
production at the Lyceum on Saturday
and Sunday, matinee both days.
Mar. 2 and 8.
Actual spectators ofthe inspiring
spectacle found it full of vivid inter-
est. but those who witness it through
Mr.. Howe's Travel Festival may enjoy
the privilege Of seeing it much more
intimately than the crowds that
massed the banks of the river. They
will observe a whole world of things
and occupations. which are so new
and strange that they come as a.
real novelty.

SULzER HAS BEEN
ASKED TO TESTIFY
New York Congressman to Tell
Why Gompers Editorial Went
in House Record

WASHINGTON, March 1.-Con-
gresham Sulzer has been asked to
testify before Justice Wright in the
contempt case now being tried in
this city.
1t will be remembered that Mr..
Sulzer read into the Congressional
Record about the time the Bucks
Stove and Range case was a burning
issue, and editorial from the Ameri-
can Fedora zionist, written by Presi-
dent Gompers.
This speech was printed in PAM
phlet form and was scatteredbroad-
cast throughout the country. Fol
lowing the editorial referred to was
what is known in printing parlance as
"a filler" or short editorial para
graphs which stated in substance
that no court could compel anil one
to buy a Buck stove or range, not
even d Lowe hat
Attorneys for Messrs Gompers,
Mitchell and Morrison are expecting
that the congressman will testify be-
fore the close of the hearing that
the court may be advised as to the
reasons prompting him to have the
editorial read into the Congressional
Record.

ALIEN LABOR GIVEN

Laborers for Good Work

WASHINGTON, March 1.-There

gardings opportunities for employment
and places for home building in this
country in the fiscal year of 1911,
as comparedwith 1929 in 1910, &C.
cording to a statement just submit
ted by the chief Of the division of
information of the Department of
Commerce and Labor.
This work has been undertaken by
the United States to more equality
distribute the immigrant population
and as a means of relieving the con-
gestion of aliens in the eastern part
Of the country.
The statement declares that the
needfor agricultural help is so gerat
that in cany instances: formers do
not hesitate to intercept help d.
rected to their neighbors and by
offering larger inducements secure
their services. ="
The wonder. is that many more are
not turned aside from their destina-
tons.

GOOD MECHANICS TO
LEAVE. FOR CANADA
Can Not Make Good Wages
Working Under Open Shop
Conditions in Zenith City

Carl Christensen of Lakeside, W..
j: Finn and about 10 other painters
will sell their homes in Duluth and
go to western Canada.
The painters claim that they have
been working under unfair conditions
for a long time and that they will re-
fuse to do SO longer than it will take
them to dispose of their property and
leave the city.
So-called ':open shop has existed
in the trade for some time and the
painters have continued, believing
that the conditions would be better
later on.
Time has failed to make any diff
ference and they state they are tired
of working under conditions which
are by no means fair,
Duluth needs men of the caliber of
those who are about to leave and it
is no credit to the city to- have her
union men, the men. who make the
homes and form the real backbone of
society. leave because they cannot OBJ
tain fair working conditions
The IL painters will leave the ranks
of this trade rather slight and it is
probable that contractors will be in
conVenienced somewhat.
The painters state that they have
done their best to live in Duluth and
learn 20 like the conditions here, but
that they are determined to stand it
no longer. Many of the men have
been established here for many years
and have the respect of the entire
community.
