The bleached -four case mentioned
above was test case, brought by the
United States department Of agri-
culture to enforce the federal law
which prohibits the flour BLEACHING
process. The case was tried in the
federal district court at Kansas City
and verdict was rendered in favor
OF the government. 1t was appealed
to the United States supreme court on
two grounds, first that the law was
unconstitutional and second that the
judge erred in his charge to the
jury.
1t is probably on the latter ground
that the case has been sent back for
retrial, as, has it been found uncon-
stitutional, the case would have been
reversed.
People in this part of the country
are especially interested in this case

CONGRESSMAN Takes
"SIam'' at Operators
of Copper Mines
Suggests That Companies Would Probably Let Men Have
Unions provided the Companies Were Permitted
to Run the Organizations

Hancock, Feb. 24-Hilton, attorney
for the striking miners, declared be-
fore the congressional investigating
committee that the strikers would be
willing to return to work under the
present conditions provided they are
not Disseminated against because Of
their affiliation with any cfganizI-
ton. This statement was met by a
reply from A. r. Rees, chief counsel
for mine owners, that it is the posi-
ton Of the operators that the West
ern Federation Of Miners must be
eliminated forever from the field, and
that no member Of that union could
be taken back to work unless he sur
rendered his membership.
Hilton said that wages and hours
were no longer a matter Of dispute
and were satisfactory to the miners.

effort to improve the working condi-

of the ten labor leaders deported from
South Africa on board the Umgeni,

strike leaders, but Captain Umgeni re-
fused to allow them to come on board.

1t is said that this regiment oil

This seems all very good. yet the
Gordon HiehIanders paid dearly for
the kiss they had received from the
charming Duchess Of Gordon.
They we're soon sent to fight the
French. and in their first engage.

wounded. The survivors OF the
Gordon Highlanders always main
tanned that they never regretted the
price they paid for a single kiss.
In the year 1903. a stolen kiss wss
the means of bringing about fierce
and expensive war. Ferdinaod of
Bavaria was journeying into neigh
boring State.
One day during his Journey he
visited the royal household of a
neighbor and while wandering
around in the specious park that
surrounded the palace he spied a
beautiful maiden under a wide
spreading tree close at hand.
He was so bewitched with her
beauty and charming personality
that he impulsively and Thoughts less
ly implanted a kiss on her fair and
lovely cheek.
She was a. princess of the royal
family. but the Bavarisn prince did
not know it; neither did he know
that she was an affianced bride and
that the bridegroam.elect was near
by and saw the whole affair.
There were hot words and blows.
A duel was fought and both princi-
pals were almost fatally wounded.
Diplomatic relations between the
two petty kingdoms were suspended
and long and terrible war ensued.
The stolen kiss was paid for most
dearly in blood and treasure.
