London, Nov. 30.-To read the gay
notes of some of the officers who live"
in the trenches one would find it hard
to believe that it is stern war in
which they are engaged.
A French sub-lieutenant, writing on
Oct. 2S, says

line them with straw, and remain
there for three, four or five days, fir
ing at the German lines now and

Have Learned Lesson.
Another French soldier shows that
his countrymen have learned the les,
son of trench warfare and can now
teach their teachers something. He
writes
I'm really up-to-date intrenchments
you may find kitchens, dining-rooms,
bedrooms and even stables. One regi-
ment has first-class COW sheds. One
day a whimsical piou-piou, finding a
COW wandering about in the danger
zone, had the bright idea of finding
shelter for it in the trenches, and at
this moment the -th infantry pos
sesses an underground farm, in which
fat kline, well cared for, give such
quantities of milk that regular distribu-
tions of butter are being made-and
very good butter, tool"
Another young officer tells how the
enemy is quite near, just over a hill,
but between fights there occur Ger
tain odd but characteristic conven-
tions."
"A hare runs out between the
trenches" he says. 1T is greeted
with rival volleys. 1t falls. A, French
man jumps up to get it. The Prus-
slams wave a white handkerchief and
cry "Tabac! Tabac!" which means
that if we give them some tobacco
they will let us have the hare. So our
men club together, and one of them
goes and gets the hare, leaving in |
place of it big packet of tobacco.
Scarcely has he got back to the trench |
ere a "Bosche' quietly goes for the
ransom. Then silence falls on the |
scene, and five minutes afterward, if
A head is shown, there is blaze of
firing"
Must Have His Jokes.
But the merry French soldier must
lave his little joke. When everybody

ng for something to happen, he picks
Up an officers cap which has been left

on a stock just above the level of

ring in turn, not by volley. A ball
trikes the cap. At once a spade is
'aved above the trench, like a flash

verybody laughs joyfully.

The Employers association of Stock

task of regulating the trade union
movement and has 'resoluted" to the
effect that if certain practices are not
abandoned instanter said association
will take immediate steps to protect
its members by insisting that the pres
ent employees of the members shall
withdraw from the union with which
they are now affiliated or resign their
positions" The ants are especially
grieved over the practice of unionists
refusing to patronize hostile employ
ers. The central body has notified the
employers that their letter has been
received and fled" and the workers
have stripped for action. The fight
promises to be another Los Angeles
turmoil, as the same influences are be-
hind the Stockton union smashers.

OCCUPATION TAX KNOCKED
OUT BY COUNCIL.

Everett's Occupation tax" imposed
on drink mixologists by the former
city lawmakers, is no more, the new
council having given it the coup de
grace last Tuesday morning, upon So
licitation of the Bartenders' Union
The ordinance was opposed by the
Labor Journal when first passed as
discrimination against class of work
ers that were entitled to as much con-
sideration as any other class and
pointed out that it was an "occnpa-
ton tax" pure and simple which fined
a man for the right to work. The
Bartenders' Union took the ordinance
into court through their attorney, j. H..
Naylor, months ago, but had gotten
no farther than the superior court,
where the case was decided in favor
of the city. Upon the recent change
in city government the bartenders
again sought to have the ordinance
rescinded and this time were success

sides Washington. And it's bound to
come up in every state where the
courts override the people, where the
courts stand in the way of progress,
and say that the people can not have
the laws they want.
In New York state, after the New
York supreme court threw out the en-
ployers' liability law, which the people
wanted, the same suggestion was
made. This time by a distinguished
New York lawyer.
In New York, too the stand-patters
on the bench and at the bar laughed.
But in the Saturday Evening Post it
is pointed out:
That in the constitutional conven-
ton of 1887, Charles Pinckney, Mercer
and Dickinson argued strongly against
giving the courts power TO set aslde
acts of the Legislature;
That Edmund Randolph, Gerry and
Mason refused to sign the constitution
because that provision was left in it;
That James Madison, afterwards
president for eight years, declared
that the legislature was as fit an in
terpreter of the constitution as the
courts, and
That Thomas jefferson, who also be-
came president later, called the doc
trine of giving this power to the courts
dangerous and one that would put US
under the despotism of an oligarchy'"

An old man. going a lone highway.
Came al the evening. cold and gray.
To chasm vast and deep and wide.
The old man crossed in the twilight dim.
The sullen stream had no fear for him.
But he turned when safe on the other side
And built bridge to span the tide.
"Old man." said a fellow pilgrim near.
You are wasting your strength with
building here.
Your journey will end with the ending
day.
You never again will pass this way.
You've passed the chasm deep and wide
Why build you this bridge at evening
tde?"
The builder lifted his old gray head.
Good friend, in the path | have come"
he said.
There followeth after me today
youth whose feet must pass this way.
This chasm that has been as naught to
me
To that fair haired youth may a pitfall
be.
He, too. must cross in the twilight dim.
Good friend. / am building this bridge for
him."

THREE GOOD MEN TO VOTE
FOR.

Were the Journal to give any adj
vice to voters who are union men in
the forthcoming primary election, it
would be this: Insure the passage of
labor legislation in the shape you want
it, without jokers and amendments cal
culated to nullify the spirit of the laws
by sending union men to the legisla-
ture to pass them. In this connection
every voter who is a union man or
woman, every voter who is in sym
pathy with labor should bear in mind
that in this city there are three tried
and true union men who are candi-
dates for legislative positions. j. g..
Campbell. three times member of the
state legislature, is a candidate for
congress on the progressive ticket;
Fred X. Overman, Typographical I'm
ion man and member of the last leg
islature, is again a candidate for the
lower house on the progressive ticket;
r. ]. Olinger, electrician, and for
years prominently identified with or
ganized labor in this city, is a candi-
date for the legislature on the social
list ticket. These men should be re-
membered when you go to the prim-
aries. You may bet your bottom dol
lar that all three of them if elected
will be found fighting tooth and nail
in legislative halls for the rights of
manhood and womanhood as against
the rights of the dollar mark.

MASSACHUSETTS, NEW LAW.
Main Points Affecting Labor In Meas
ure Recently Passed.

ure Recently Passed.
Here are the main points in the anti.
injunction law Of Massachusetts.
1t is not unlawful for workers to
combine to raise wages, shorten hours
or better working conditions.
No Massachusetts judge can issue an
injunction in industrial disputes except
in cases where irreparabe injury to
property or to a property right is
threatened, and then only in cases
where there is no adequate remedy at
law.
In construction of this act the right
to labor or to carry on business shall
be deemed a personal not a property
right.
This should dispose of the injunction
in labor disputes and bring back gov
eminent by law.
1t modifies the judge made law of
conspiracy by declaring a lawful act
done by an individual is lawful when
done by a collection of individuals.
This overthrows repeated decisions of
courts which have held that an action
by a collection of individuals may be
unlawful-a conspiracy-even though
the act is lawful when done by an in
dividual.
The act restores so far as Massa-
chusetts is concerned the sound princi-
pie of law by declaring that the right
to do business and the right to labor
as an employee is a personal and not
a property right.
Where an employer claims to be
damaged by an act done by his en-
ployees he must seek redress in the
law courts instead of asking for in
junction relief
The law, in short. puts so called in
junction judges out of business in the
state courts of Massachusetts.
Hereafter injunctions shall be used
DIS originally intended-in questions
dealing with property where no law
covers the case.
1t gives legislative distinction be-
tween the workman and the product Of
his toll.
