EGGS AT Is CENTS,
PLAN OF FARMERS
Propose to Chicago BOyCOttGTS
to Sell Consumers Direct.

Illinois farmers extended the right
hand Of cooperation to the women OF
Chicago who have taken up the cud-
gels against high priced storage eggs
and proposed to the bOycotters what
they believe is a permanent solution
of the question.
1--WE are organized and are willing
to sell directly to the housewives OF
Chicago if they will only insure US
steady market" was the substance OF
the message sent to the women by
delegates who are attending the an
nual meeting Of the Illinois Farmers
Institute.
The farmers are planning to estab-
lish cold storage plants in connection
with their creameries, and instead OF
selling their spring surplus Of eggs to
the cold storage men they propose to
store them. Then if they can establish
direct communication with organiza-
tions of consumers and be sure Of a
steady market they can dole out the
product at 25 cents a dozen and have
a good margin of profit.
Egg prices wavered as the boycott
spread to many other cities in the
country Two large Chicago firms an
nounced that markets would be open
ed in various parts of the city and
eggs would be offered for 81 cents a
dozen. The retail price predominating
in Chicago was 4S cents.
Dispatches from Detroit. st. Paul.
Kansas City, Baltimore, Washington
and a dozen other large cities told OF
club women who would not buy eggs
until the price dropped at least three
cents a dozen.
Federal District Attorney Wilkerson
has begun planning for a sweeping
grand jury investigation of charges
against men who own stored eggs In
Chicago, with view to bringing Grim
inal proceedings. The district attorney
has promised to bring about the pros
ecution of members Of the Chicago
butter and egg board as members OF a
trust in restraint of trade before the
end of the week.

Tuxpan Reported Taken by Rebels and
sieae of Mexico City Predicted In a

Month.
Hasty reparations are under way in
the ranks of the rebels for the occu-
nation of Chihuahua. The capital Of the
state of Chihuahua, Mexico, which is
reported to have been evacuated by
the Federals because of threatened
starvation.
Pointing out that of the important
Federal strongholds in the north only
Monterey and Guaymas remain, Cen
eral Francisco Villa, the rebel leader,
at Juarez, said that Chihuahua would
be made the base Of aggressive activi-
ties southwark.
Just when forces would be sent to
pursue General Salvador Mercado.
Huerta's military governor, who is re-
ported to be fleeing to the United
States border at Ojinaga with 1000
nearly famished soldiers, and Gener-
ais Orozco and Salazar, said to have
taken to the mountains, Villa declined
to say, but declared the rebel advance
toward Mexico City would continue
briskly.
I'VE will be shooting at the ram
parts of Mexico City within month," 3"
said Villa. eve are confident that when
the people in the capital realize that
we have captured almost all the north
and are in sight of the citys gates
they will voice their feelings, which
they are now afraid to do, and will
clamor for the downfall of the usurper.
A mob in the capital can Oust Huerta
In a day.
Near Rancheria the rebels came on
the wreckage of two Federal troop
trains which had crashed head-on, one
carrying defeated Federals from La
Mesa, the other bringing reinforce
ments to them.
In the wreckage were several
wounded men and many dead. Gen
eral Maclovio Huerrera, commanding
the rebels, wired to Villa that he had
given assistance to the wounded Fed
erals and had buried the dead. Parts
of the wrecked trains had caught fire
after the collision, and wounded Fed
erals said that many soldiers had been
burned to death.
Coonel John Medina, chief of stan
to General Villa, is in the FL Paso
county Jail, charged with bringing
stolen roperty to the value of $50 into
the state. He was arrested when he
came to FL Paso.

PRESIDENT READS
His MESSAGE
Tells Congress He Waits HuHT-
ta'S Collapse in Mexico,
URGES PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY
Mr.. Wilson Pleads For Early Action
on Currency and Says Antitrust
Law Should Stand, Supplemented by
More Explicit Legislation.

President Wilson read his first an
nual message to congress on Tues
day at a joint session Of both branch
es in the house chamber.
The message, among the briefest of
documents of its kind from any presi-
dent, and some 5000 words long, re-
quired less than thirty minutes for
reading, though it treated upon a va
riety of subjects.
This was the third time the presi-
dent had personally addressed con
gress, the two previous occasions be-
ing the expression of his views on the
tariff and the Mexican situation. This
was the first opportunity he had OF
communicating his views and recon-
mendations regarding the state OF the
union
The Mexican situation, President
Wilson dismissed with brief comment,
reiterating the sentiments he express
ed in a special address to congress
upon the same subject some time ago,
and expressed the belief that the
Huerta government slowly was crum'
bling and that the United States prob
ably would not be obliged to alter its
policy of waiting.
The following are the other salient
features in the message:
Currency.-The president pleads for
early final action on the currency bill,
and makes special point of the need
of a rural credit system.
Antitrust Laws.-'I think 1t VIII
be easily agreed that we should let
the Sherman antitrust law stand, un-
altered, as it is, with its debatable
ground about 1t, but that we should
as much as possible reduce the area
of that debatable ground by further
and more explicit legislation. The
president promises a special message
on this subject later.
President Primaries.-'I urge the
prompt enactment of legislation that
will provide for primary elections
throughout the country at which the
voters of the several parties may
choose their nominees for the presi-
dency without the Intervention of nom
mating conventions"
Philippines.-"We must hold stead
ilv in view their ultimate independ'
ence. and we must move toward the
time of that independence as steadily
as the way can be cleared and the
foundations thoughtfully and perma
nently laid"
Alaska.-"Alaska as storehouse
should be unlocked. One key to 1t Is
system of railways. These
the government should itself build and
administer, and the ports and termi
nails it should itself control in the in
terest of all who wish to use them fol
the service and development of the
country and its people"
Employers Liability-"We owe Il
in mere justice to the railway EN-
ployes of the country, to provide fol
them a fair and effective employers
liability act. Social justice
comes first. We ought tC
address ourselves among other things
to the prompt alleviation of the very
unsafe. unjust and burdensome condi
tions which now surround the employ
mert of sailors"

HOUSE EXENPTS UNIONS


Washington, March Some years
ago Representative Hughes, of New
Jersey introduced an amendment to
the sundry civil appropriation bill
providing that in the appropriation of
money for the prosecution of cases
under the Sherman antitrust law that
no part of the money be expended in
the prosecution of the organizations
of labor. This amendment was dsfeat-
ed. but the records of the Congress-
men who voted against this amend
ment were given wide publicity, with
the result that large number ofCon-
gressmen hostile to labor, are now
spending some time at home There
has just been passed an amendment
to the sundry civil bill, introduced by
Representative Hamill of New Jersey,
providing that mo part of this money
($300,000) shall be expended in the
prosecution of any organization Or in
dividual for entering into any ccmbi-
nation or agreement having in view
the increase of wages, the shortening
of hours, or lettering the conditions
of labor, or for any act done I'M fur
therance thereof not in itself u1laW-
full" The amendment carried by vote
of 107 to g. Another amendmentlWas
also adopted similar in terms, EXCEPT
ing producers of farm product or
associations of farmers who cooper
ate or organize in an effort to obtain
and maintain a fair and reasonable
price for their products"

Gees Of the assembly and the allied
printing crafts, two successful meet
ings were held by the "get-togethers."
Following these, the. retail clerks and
Woman's Union Label League held
meetings. The printing trades held an
open meeting, at which many non-un-
ionists were present, and much head
way was made in interesting them
in the printing trades unions. The Iron
Molders, Pattern Makers, and Boiler
makers are conducting an organizing
campaign. The Woman's Union Label
League is using it's influence to Sc
cure the passage of bills before the
Legislature in the interest OF women
and child workers. The building
trades continue to progress. The plas-
terers have formulated a new wage
scale, which provides for an increase
of cents per hour, and it will go
into effect without opposition. The
carpenters will raise their scale from
35 to 40 cents per hour. Employers in
this city are concerned over the stu
alton in Akron, where the rubber
workers are on strike The outlook for
the coming year is good.

WITHOUT THE UNION LABEL

Washington, March 6.-The Rail-
way Mail Association, the organization
Of the railway mail clerks, which is
largely dominated by the Postoffice
Department, is rather singular com
bination. At it's last CONVENTION &C.
ton was taken which, in effect, in
dorsed the gag rule" which has since
been eliminated by an act of Con-
gress. The chief executive official
also sent out circulars without the
allied printing trades label attached
thereto. 1t may be that this is not
the fault of the rank and file of the
organization, but the gentleman who
presides over the destinies of the
Railway Mail Association may some
day desire the assistance of the 9TH
er organizations of labor in furthering
some worthy legislation.

Jailin g Trust
M gnates No Remedy.

Far-seeing plutocratic papers have
Joined with short-sighted progressive
ones in vociferously applauding the
conviction and sentence of the Ma
tionaI Cash Register Company. The
progressives applaud because they
are still innocent enough to believe
In Jail sentences as a cure for the
trust evil. The plutocrats applaud be-
cause they are wise enough to see
the necessity of occasionally sacrifice
ing one of their number to strengthen
popular belief in a faIIacy and to d.
vert attention from the true remedy.
AS a matter of fact, the conviction
and sentence of every officer of every
trust in the country would not have
the slightest effect in the direction
of establishing genuine competition
or in benefiting consumers or indie
pendent manufacturers. Still less rea-
son is there for looking for. such re-
suits from an occasional conviction
obtained at great expense and with
great difficulty under exceptionally ia
vorable circumstances.
Mr.. Patterson, President of the Ma
tional Cash Register Company, has
been sentenced to year in jail. He
has appealed, as have all his fellow
prisoners, and may not have to serve
sentence after all. But suppose he
does. Suppose further, that instead
of one year in jail he should be SEN
fenced to ten years solitary confine-
i, ment at hard labor in the penitenti-
airy. He is a multi-millionaire and he
has got his millions through conduct
ing his business in manner presum-
ably forbidden by Sherman antitrust
law, but encouraged and made profit
able through other laws. The Sher-
man law has not repealed these 9TH
err laws. On the contrary, its true
purpose was to aIIay popular senti-
ment which might have proved dan
gerous to them. Now perhaps Mr..
Patterson has a disposition which
makes him shrink from prospects OF
Jail to such an extent that he will
hereafter forego the opportunities
which privilege-creating laws give to
stifle competition and to form trusts
If so, then he. will transgress nc
more. But some one else will. Out oil
ninety million people there are sever
al thousand, If not hundred thousands
or millions, quite willing to take
chances of going to Jail for the oppor
tunity that Mr.. Patterson will have re
linquished. AS long as there are mer
willing to take such chances for tbs
opportunity to get nothing but poor
bare living there will be no lack Of
persons willing to take Mr.. Patterson:
Vacated place..
Then what has the antitrust cause
gained by the successful prosecution
of the Cash Register trust? Nothing
whatever, unless malicious satisfac
ton, which some may feel, in seeing
some individuals Inundated and in
convenienced, may be counted gain
Has there been an actual gain 70
an one? There probably has. Popula
confidence In q false remedy has bee
to some extent strengthened. That /
an actual gain for the trusts. It make
It harder to get popular consent TO
application of a true remedy.
