INSANE THING FOR
EMPLOYERS NOT TO
RECOGNIZE LABOR

Philadelphia, June 23.-" Should en-
ployers recognize organized labor9"
John Wanamaker was asked today in
the course of his examination by the
federal commission on industrial rela-
tions.
OTIS an insane thing not to recog-
nize it,, was his reply. 81 believe
labor suffered frightfully in the past
through poor leadership but a better
class of leaders is coming in. | think
labor and capital both have the right
to organize
"What do you think are the missing
links necessary to bring capital and
labor together?' he was asked.
Prejudice and misunderstanding, "
was the response, which must be over
come. One way to overcome them is
to unhitch labor unions from political
parties.
Wanamaker added that he might be
mistaken but he considered that John
D. Rockefeller "made great mistake
when he put President Wilson in the
position of having to send troops into
Colorado.

The supreme court handed down four
opinions this morning. One of these
was that of the state against Lloyd H.
Watkins, convicted in the circuit court
for MultnOmah county of the crime of
murder in the first degree for the kill
ing of Lou l.. Watkins in October, 1913.
In the trial of the case in the lower
court it seems letters found on the de-
fendant when arrested were introduced
in evidence over the objections of the
defendant, he contending that the let
ters being from his wife were privileg.
ed communications and that as the law
prohibited using the testimony of a
spouse against the other without the
consent of both, that the evidence
should not have been admitted. The
supreme court, in an opinion written by
Justice Burnett, disposes of that by
pointing out that communications be-
tween them the knowledge of which is
derived from independent sources is not
included in the inhibition.
The decision of the lower court was
affirmed.
Another case was that Of the state
against Charles H. Sommers, manager
for Armour & Co., appealed from Multi

NIGHT RIDERS KILL.
SEARCH is BEING MADE
sHEEPHERDERs MET BY BULLETS
Sheep Are stampeded and Large Num-
bers Shot as Result of Battle-sher
iff and Doctors Rush to Scene.

Goldendale, Wash, June 2S.-One
man is reported killed and two serious.
ly wounded in a raid by night riders
early today on the sheep camp of Leo
Bruno, about 10 miles northwest of
Wahkiacus. In response to frantic calls
by telephone for officers and medical
aid, Sheriff Fred W.. Smith and two
physicians rusaed to the scene of the
battle.
According to reports reaching here,
the employees of Bruno, who had charge
of band of sheep grazing in the woods
on the Big Klickitat river, were called
from their tent by a band of masked
men and met with hail of Winchester
bullets.
Charles Smith, who was in the tent,
escaped through fusillade of bullets
sent after him by the raiders, and re.
ported that one man had been killed
and two seriously wounded by the first
volley, and that the sheep were STAN.

shot. The battle was still raging when
he left, Smith said.

More Trouble Feared.

Goldendale, Wash, June 23.-Further
trouble between cattle men and sneep
men as the result of raid by band
of masked men on the sheep men of
Leo Bruno in western Kliekitats county
late Sunday night, in which one herder
was shot and badly injured, and go
sheep killed, was feared today.
Persons familiar with the situation
today declared that the attack was the
torerunner of others, as the intermedi-
ate range where Klickitats county sheep
are neld until the government pasture
is opened about July 4 is overcrowded,
making it unfit for cattle grazing.
The feeling between the cattlemen
and sheep men has been tense for some
time.

WILSON SMASRES AUTO
SAVES A SMALL GIRLS LIFE
To Avoid Collision With Little Girl
Who Runs In Front of Machine He
Jams Steering Geer and Runs Into
Post.

Charles Wilson, of this city, was
driving his auto down State street this
morning going west across the bridge
over the norta Mill creek when he at.
tempted to dodge a small girl and
drove the machine into an electric
light pole smashing his lights, radiator,
and bending up the mud guards gen.
orally. Mr.. Wilson was driving slowly
and saw the little girl standing in the
street; she did not a tempt to cross
however untA the auto was close to her
and then she rushed directly into the
path of the car.
In order to avoid an accident Mr..
Wilson turned his car sharply to the
left and jammed the steering gear and
the result was a collision with the post.
1t will cost several dollars to repair
the car but the little girl owes her life
to the fact that the pole was struck
instead of herself.

Rates viii Be Lowered in
Many Cases as Much as
Twenty Per Cent
WONDERFUL VICTORY
FOR WESTERN STATES
Effect Will Be Eventually to
Increase Revenue of
the Railroads

Washington, June 23.-Relying on
the United States supreme court s de-
cision in the "intermountain rate
case," the interstate commerce COM
mission prepared today to put into eff
feet sweeping reductions in trans-con-
tinental freight rates.
The complete power of the commits
sion over interstate rates and conse-
quent early drastic reduction on "long
haul" freight to Spokane, Salt Lake
City, Butte, Billings, Reno and other
points between the Rocky mountains
and the Pacific coast were considered
the main outstanding points in the su-
preme court decision.
All railroads will be required to file
with the commission new tariffs reduc.
ing rates on trans-cOntinental ship
ments to "intermountain cities. In
many cases, the reductions will amount
to 90 per cent. The commissions pow
er was sweepingly increased through
the valuation of the long and short
haul amendment The most far-reach-
ing effect of the decision is the declar-
alton by the supreme court that all
power to initiate or prescribe changes
in rates has, "if the commission desires
to exercise it," been transferred by
congress from the railroads to the COM
mission.
Will Benefit Railroads.
Louis d. Brandeis of Boston predict
ed today that the decision would even,
tually be of great benefit to the rail
reads.
cit will help business so much" he
said. "that before long its effect will
not be noticed in the revenues of the
railroads, unless it be to increase them.
1t is a wonderful victory for the west,
ern states"
The supreme court IS decision also
opens the way for shippers to recover
approximately $l0,000,000 from the
railroads, it was said.
This sum represents payments OF
rates made on the old basis while the
demand for a reduction was pending in
the courts. 1t was explained, however
that the reparation proposition will
have to be handled by the railroad
commission, which will also fix the
amounts to be repaid by the transpor
tation companies.
Advantage to Interior Towns.
Expert traffic men further pointed
out that the ruling insures interior
towns an advantage from the openiaS
of the Panama canal in proportion t
the benefits coast cities will derive.

Present Dullness Is Merely

Stacking Of Trade

Washington, June 23.-Strong sup
port of President Wilson s position
that the present dullness in business Is
merely psychological was voiced here
today in statement issued by Secre-
tary of Commerce Redfield.
"The United States" Secretary
Redfield said, "was the last nation to
enter the worldwide depression. We
felt it least and are now the first to
emerge.
The dullness of trade ana industry
in this country is psychological, inst as
President Wilson sayS us tss.h
all sections and figures compiled In the
department of commerce show this to
be true.
"Other nations have suffered long
er and more severely than has the
United States--notably France, Ger
many, Englandp. Canada and Brazil.
Conditions in these countries contyadict
the causes most commonly assigned for
depression. Germany is the greatest
trust country in the world while in
France there are no trusts; Brazil has
high protective tariff, yet all these
countries suffered,
Receives Prosperity" Letters
Secretary Redfield said that his de-
partment was receiving large numbers
of prosperity letters" which
strengthened the belief that commercial
and Industrial revival was near. For
the first two weeks in June, he said,
the Rock Island railroad handled an
increase Of nearly 1000 carloads Of
freight The approaching harvest has
created an extraordinary demand for
agricultural implements, and the mark
ct for average priced automobiles was
never better, he added.

Snow Storms. Badly
Hinder Industry

New York, March 6.-R. G. Dun &
Cos Weekly Review of Trade tomor-
row will say:
Further interruption to business was
caused this week by the greatest snow
storm the Eastern section of the coun-
try has experienced in a quarter of a
century. Recovery from the effects of
the blizzard was comparatively
prompt. Reports from the leading
however. continue of mixed charac-
ter, increased activity in certain di-
rections contrasting with a tendency
toward dullness in others. The severe
weather proved a distinct boon to bus
mess in footwear, both in retail and
jobbing circles, and accumulated sup
plies have been materially reduced.
Trade in cotton goods at first hands is
irregular and generally quiet, but
mems and women's wear remain in
fair request, with woolen and worsted
mills moderately well employed. An
expansion in operations at iron and
steel plants is reflected by net in
crease in the number of active fur
naces No broad buying movement is
now in evidence, but several substan-
tial railroad contracts are reported
and some mills are sold ahead through
May. Consumers of copper continue to
hold off and the price situation is
easier.
Failures are 334, against 2S3 the cor
responding week last year.
