FAVORS ORGANIZATION OF
NEW POLITICAL PARTY

Seattle, Nov 20.-The American
Federation of Labor is on record to-
day as favoring the future organiza-
tion of a political labor party, fol-
lowing the passage of the resolu-
tions committee substitute for Dele
gate George L. Berry's resolution
favoring the organization of such a
party now. This is the first time
that the federation has announced
its policy in favoring political en-
deavor as a whole. The Berry reso-
luton, which was defeated, called
for a conference with the socialist
party to effect an understanding.
This was opposed by Delegate Max
Hayes of Ohio on behalf of the social
lists, who said that such an agree
ment could not be reached owing to
the socialists rules against affllia-
tion with other parties
During his speech Hayes invited
all the delegates to read up on its
doctrines and then join the socialists.
The federation lodged a dispute
on religion by voting down two reso-
lutions concerning the quarrel be-
tween the trade unionists and the So
called Christian, or Catholic, unions
Of Germany,
Jeff Davis, president of the Tin
Grant Workers Union, addressed the
convention yesterday afternoon. He
was asked concerning the hobos, and
asked the approval of organized labor
of their attempt to secure the repeal
of all the unconstitutional vagrancy
laws throughout the country.
The migratory workers who labor
in the harvest fields during the sum
mer and fall, are harassed by the
police every winter" said Davis. "In
cities where strikes are on every eff
fort is made to force us into being
strikebreakers. We have 100000
members, every one of whom is
sworn never to act as a strikebreak-
er and to thrash every strikebreaker
he catches"
The first resolution bringing the
Reid and Murphy electrical union
fight before the convention was voted
down Yesterday. It called for a con-
ference between the factions and it
was decided that It was not within
the province Of the federation to or
der such conference. Three other
resolutions bearing on this struggle
are yet to be considered.

"BIDDY" IN OREGON.

Coincident with the announce
ment that another Oregon hen has
broken all records, and has pro-
duced SOS eggs within a single
twelve months, hen-fruit prices take
a skyward flight, and Portland buy
ers pay 65 cents per dozen. Each
of these features proves anew the
fact that Oregon is the real poultry
state. And yet in the face of that
fact, that has been so often and so
we'll demonstrated, there are failures
in the poultry industry in Oregon as
everywhere else. The reason of this
is that the chicken business looks
so good that a lot of people who
know nothing about raising chickens
start into it, and some of them ex-
pect the business to run itself. 1t
does, and that's why it's a failure for
that fellow. There is no business on
earth that requires more application
or a closer regard for detail than
the poultry industry. And given that
application and regard, there is no
business that promises more.
That Oregon climate and Oregon
conditions are pretty nearly perfect
for the industry is proved by the
records these Oregon hens make.
That the profit is there, one has but
to look at the average prices Of a
year to be assured. But the trouble
with many of these poultry raisers
is that they are chock full of enthusi-
Osm while Biddy is Matching out
her brood, but when the youngsters
begin to droop and die through want
OF the proper care the enthusiasm
all oozes out Of the game. Then
there is the fellow who gets lots of
eggs when eggs are down to Is
cents a dozen, but not an egg when
they get up to 4Oc and soc, and even
65c, dozen. 1t takes a good deal
of brains mixed with the wheat and
green bone to make sixty-fve-cent
eggs. And sometimes even that
fails. But the fact stands. never
theless, that, taken the year round.
the Oregon poultryman gets the best
prices in all the country, and he
lives in a country where he is under
the least handicap from nature. The
Oregon hen given the proper care
is next thing to a perpetual motion
machine. Proper care is a thing
shat anyone who has It in himself
to become poultryman can learn.
The poultry industry is neg
lected opportunity. The Rogue val

SMOOTH OUT THE BUMPS"

Travellers over the public highway
remember stretches of road not so
much by the miles of smooth and
rounded macadam or pavement as
by the points where the automobile
was shaken by ruts or bumps, or
where a spring was broken or gear
ing stripped. Josephine county has
miles of most satisfactory highways.
They are the delight of automobilists
and would bring the county the cred
it it deserves were it not that the
good effect of the roads is lost when
the driver is nearly shaken from
his seat when he comes on to the
steel bridge or makes the bump-the-
bumps run across the railroad tracks
on Sixth street. The pavement put
in by the city runs up to these
tracks, but the company has never
replaced the planking between the
rails with blocks or cement paving,
and as a consequence it is a rough
road to travel. Automobile drivers
have come to take this stretch of
street ION the bias" so as to reduce
the strain on the machine. In this
they are obliged to violate a city
ordinance which requires them to
drive to the right, and life and lint
are endangered 1t is such places as
these that are remembered by trav
elers, and the few dollars that
would be required to make them
right would be money well ex
pended.

MISSOURI TOWN PROTESTS
EXCESSIVE LIGHTING CHARGES

Jefferson City, Mo-, No. 20.-De-
cision of the question of whether
utility company that buys electric
power from a water electric gener-
ating plant can also maintain a steam
plant of its own for emergency pur-
poses and figure the same in as part
of its operating expenses in fixing
rates, is expected here in a few days
by the State Public Service Commis-
sion, which has been investigating
complaints of excessive lighting
charges by Springfield citizens. Elec-
trio and utility companies from all
the important water power centers
of the country had experts at the
Springfield hearing.

fifty feet. Rosencrans had no money
to contest the point, hence his plea
of guilty, and hence the petition to
have the judgment of the law set
aside.
Now had Rosencrans been fishing
close below fish racks installed by
the federal government he would
have had small excuse to seek the
favor of the pardoning authorities,
for the law upon that point is clear.
In that case the justice even might
have been justified had he decreed
the limit, and perhaps have sent the
offender to the dungeon to have ex-
plated the crime of the century. Ig-
norance of the law excuses no one.
1t does not even constitute "a fine
reason" Upon this point section 1874
of the law of 1913 gives any one the
authority to erect racks across the
river and to completely close the
stream when the purpose is the pro-
pagation of salmon, and the section
further says that it shall be unlaw-
ful, by any means whatever, to take,
kill, destroy or molest any salmon
within two miles below any such
rack" etc. There is no dispute up
on that point, and no contradiction in
the law, as the Medford editor can
surely find out If he will inquire of
the guardian of Jackson county's
peace and morals, the Nemesis of de-
linquent Josephine anglers and fish
ermen, the valiant district attorney
who has plead so eloquently, If so
Intellectually, for vengeance. Surely
he knows, and he would uphold the
law and prosecute its yiolators, not
seek to find a way whereby they may
break the law" be they penniless
old men without the price of hear
ing or plutocratic newspaper editors
at whose dictum governors bow and
to whom they present their compli-
ments in the way of bob-tailed pups.
No, indeed. He would not hunt up
"a fine reason" so that he should
know "how not to prosecute" The
law is supreme and the law must be
enforced!
What matters if the law be a maze
of inconsistencies and of fiat con-
tradictions? What matters if it can
be read as the particular reader
wishes to read it? If he has violated
the law as you wish the law might
be, put the offender in the bastile
and feed him bread and water!
Josephine county and its attorney
are for the strict enforcement of the
law. They are not seeking how not
to enforce it, nor inventing "hne rea-
sons" whereby violators may escape
its sting. Will our friends across the
line assist in the effort and make due
complaint whenever they can pre-
sent evidence of violations this side
of the county line?
