THE RANCH

so far as to reverse the relative POSI-
lions of the relations of employer and
servant,
AS consumer, the farmer will have
to pay more for his machinery and
supplies, including the cost of the
board and keep of additional labor
under the short hour system.
AS producer, he is forced to sell
his products in competition with the
markets of the world, and, since the
barriers of the protective tariff have
been removed, he is not even protect
ed in his home market, for during the
present month a cargo of British
dressed beef was unloaded in Seattle
and all markets of Puget Sound are
receiving large consignments of butter
from New Zealand and eggs from
China. The wheat growers of Canada
with the advantage of plenty OF cheap
land, low wages and moderate rates OF
taxation, are ready to flood this state
with wheat and you, my brothers,
must meet their prices in your own
state or go out of business. Ii they
can meet you in your own home in the
matter of prices, what they can do to
you in a foreign market, can be safely
left to your imagination.
AS taxpayers, the proposed legisla-
ton will afford you no relief from your
present excessive burdens but, on the
contrary, the adoption of these meas
ures will mean sharp increase in the
tax levy in order to pay the large APP
preparations contained therein and to
support the many new boards and
commissions for which the new meas
ures provide. These proposed meas
ures are so loosely drawn and SO con-
1icting in their provisions with each
other and existing legislation, that
years of litigation will be required to
establish their legal application and
during that period the taxpayer will
pay the costs and all business interests
will assume an attitude of watchful
waiting.
Your committee would therefore
recommend:
l. That, aside from the question of
prohibition, this meeting go on record
as strictly against the proposed legis-
lation, by means of the initiative meas
ures now before the people, as opposed
in our opinion, to the best interests of
the farmer.
2. That we do our utmost as an or
ganization and as individual farmers
to impress upon our brother farmers
the necessity of voting upon these
questions and that, with the exception
of the prohibition measure, we urge
each and every one to vote against all
these measures for our own protection.
The labor unions will vote as unit in
favor of these measures under a mis-
taken apprehension that they have
everything to gain and nothing to lose
by their adoption. Let us have every
farmer vote upon these questions.
3. That we request each and every
member of the Farmers Union to con-
stitute himself committee of one to
work and use his influence in voting
down this proposed legislation.
Respectfully submitted,

Industrial Trials and rriumphs.

Inc roTu mOtOr company AT tne DeR1n-
ming Of the year adopted a proft-sharing
plan by which $10.O00,0o0 is to be distrib-
uted annually among the 5000 wage-earn-
ers of that concern. The great South Afri-
can railroad strike came to an end On
January 10 strike Of the Delaware and
Hudson railroad men, as a protest against
the discharge of two employees. was set
tied within sixteen hours by the federal
board OF mediation and Cancellation.
Two great labor controversies had been
left over from the preceding year-one In
the Michigan copper mines. which began
July o. 1913 and another in the Colorado
coal fields. where 1900 men had been on
strike since September Q OF the previous
year. Violence ensued and federal aid
was demanded. On April 20 the striking
miners clashed with the state militia near
Trinidad. Colo, and twenty-five persons
were killed or burned to death in a fire
which followed. President Wilson ordered
federal troops to the scene. 1t was not
until September Is that the strikers and
their employers accepted President Will
sons offer for a settlement of their dis
pute, but his plan was rejected. On the
last day Of November the president named
a commission of three. headed by Seth
Low, to deal with the strike. Shortly af-
ter the strike was declared of.
/ On April I all the coal mines Of Ohio
were closed down on account of the fall
ure to unite on an agreement as to a
basis Of payment to supersede the one
already in use. On the following day the
Yorkshire coal miners, to the number of
10000 men, went on strike to support
their demand for minimum wage. June
u strike among the West Virginia coal
miners, which had been on since the pre-
vious September. was declared of, the
miners waving recognition OF the union
in order to obtain other important con-
cessions. On July II the federal board
Of mediation and cpnciliation again proved
its ability as a peaeemaker. The engineers
and fremen Of ninety-eight Western rail-
roads accepted the mediau IN Of the board.

FINE COTTON GOODS
IN BETTER DEMAND
War Influences Trade in Better
Class of Fabrics General
Tone Of Market Quiet.

Fall River. Mass, Aug. %. The
print cloth market last week followed
much the same lines. usually OF dull
ness, that have characterized It since
before the European war became a
serious influence. There was moder-
ate demand for one or two styles, out
the volume of business i'm any one
make did not reach large proportions.
There was "A fair demand for bag
cloths Of low construction, but the
amount of business in these goods was
small.
The general tone Of the market last
week was one Of quiet. The demand
centred around goods for immediate
delivery, and when these could not be
had buyers turned their attention TO
nearby deliveries Very little atten-
ton was given TO future business by
buyers. A major portion OF the de-
mand was for wide and medium wide
goods. and these cloths have had run
for several months. The situation in
narrow cloths is dull and those mills
which are harnessed up to make only
narrow goods have been very hard hit,
and they will show larger accumula-
tion than those mills which are about
evenly divided between wide and mar
row cloths.
While the New England markets are
yer. quiet, IL is strange 90 report that
some fine goods mills are doing a good
business; not a brisk business, but
sufficiently large TO give encourage

ment to mill agents and treasurers.
Up 10 about five months ago mills
operating on fine counts were very
badly crippled because Of a lack of
demand, but the situation has changed
and moderate amount Of business is
being done. There seems TO be good
grounds that the interruption in i'm
ports is having beneficial effect here
mostly in regards - specialties and
fine goods. Some fnh goods mills and,
In "A minor degree. medium count mills
have adapted imported patterns and
the product which is being turned out
shows a very good likeness. The total
sales for the week are estimated at
900 pieces. and Of these approx
mately $4,000 pieces were spots.
Cotton cloth has followed the down
ward tendency of cotton, although not
in the same ratio. Buyers are using
falling cotton prices as an argument
for lower cloth values. IL is reported
that middling uplands cotton has been
purchased in Fall River at nine cents
pound. This is 3is cents off the New
York Cotton Exchange price of July
80. Prices on goods which figured in
the sales show decline of about an
eighth OF a cent. The quotations.: 2s-

AUDIPHONE LEADS
TO ARREST AS SPY
French Suspect Deaf American
of Intercepting Wireless
Messages.

William J. Davis, Of Indianapolis,
who had been travelling IN Europe
when war was declared. arrived here
last night on the French liner Havrc
with "a story Of an encounter with the
French military authorities of Paris
that reflects much credit upon their
scrutiny of spies.
Mr. Davis. who is fifty. has been deaf
for many years, and recently found II
necessary TO carry around his neck an
audlphone with an ear attachment,
such as is used b. telephone opera

While the instrument is small il was
sufficiently conspicuous 10 attract the
attention Of clerks I'm the various
stores IN which he had been shopping
Five days after France and Germany
had come together i'm Alsace Mr.. Davis
went about the city making purchases
Of things he might need on the voyage

As every Frenchman had been warned
90 be on the watch Tor spies the clerks
with whom he talked were suspicious
or the audiphone which he used in con-
vcrsiug with them.
His purchases made, Mr.. Davis walked
along the Rue Royale, when suddenly
through his audiphone he heard the
clatter Of hoofs behind him. Thinking
q horse and carriage had run away. he
turned and stood face 10 face with two
mounted policemen. who jumped from
their mounts and seized him. Their
conversation was in French, and Mr..
Davis did not know why he had been
arrested until he was taken TO the DO
lice station. He was informed there
that he had been arrested as German
Spy, the specific 1arge being that with
hi, audiphone he was trying to inter-
cept wireless messages 20 the French
stations The shop clerks, he thought,
had Informed the police When he had
produced his credentials and explained
the use Of his audiphone he was
promptly released.
