PULLMAN PORTERS IN
WAR AGAINST TIPPING"

CHICAGO, Jan. 2:.--The recently
formed Federation of Pullman Port
ers has received the promise of assist
ance, it is said, from the railroad
brotherhoods in campaign against
the present tipping" system on Pull
man cars.
These workers say various CONNER
cial associations have passed resolu-
tions condemning the practice and the
porters believe these organizations
will aid them in the passage of an
anti-tipping law.
The agitation will undoubtedly make
public the low wages and other con-
ditions under which the porters are
forced to labor. 49,. u-

COPPER'S TYRANNY.
SHOWN IN MICHIGAN
Forces Indicted Miners to Fur
nish Excessive Bail-Legal
Expenses Are Heavy.

. ElOUGHTON,. Mich, Jan. 23.-
Copper empire law again welded it's
cluo over the heads of organized
labor here when the excessive, bail of
$1,000 was fixed against each OF 81
officials of the Western Federation
of Miners indicted Thursday by the
Citizens alliance controlled special
grand jury.
Owing to the mass of manufac-
tured' charges brought against them
the striking copper miners have al
ready put up about $4,000 in bill
While the legal expenses forced upon
the workers is probably as great as
that borne in any of the nations big
labor disputes.
. After Il Of the, So indicted officials
were arrested they were taken be-
fore Circuit Court Commissioner
Rounavaar. The bail was fixed on
the motion Of the copper barons' spe-
citl inquisiter, Prosecuting Attorney
George Nichols.
William Davidson, member of the
federation executive council, and the
only one of the six national officers
Of the organization who were in
dicted now in the district, WAS ar
rested at the home Of one of the
striking Diners in Calumet. He fur
nished surety bonds for his appear
ance in circuit court and was re.
leased.
Davidson, who .s urging the strik-
erss to stick, is said to have outlined
his plans today. He had been in the
copper country only one day before
ne was indicted by the grand jury.
In a statement, he said that his in
dictment and areest was indicative of
the attitude Of the jury toward Or
ganiZed labor.

WANT MORE COMPENSATION
University Faculty Members Demand
Extra Pay for Summer School
W0rk-AdOpt Resolution.

| At meeting of the university faculty
Yesterday afternoon a feeling which
has been abroad for some time among
1.-THE faculty members found expression
| in a resolution which was introduced
providing for the abolition of the uni
versity summer school unless each in
structor who is required to teach in
the summer sessions be adequately
paid for his services in addition to his
regular salary.
There was considerable complaint
last summer by a number of the in
structors who offered their services
during the six weeks course that they
were being unjustly treated in being
required to work in the summer ses-
sion without receiving additional COM
pensation. 1t is complained that al
though there was a general raise in
salaries about year ago this increase
cannot rightly be considered as COM
pensation for the summer school work
since the same increase was made in
the salaries of those who were not
required to teach during the summer
as of those who worked during the
entire summer course.
The resolution was warmly discussed
and was adopted without dissenting
vote. 1t will be submitted to the state
BOARD of education for definite action in
the near future.

Professor Wicks is at present serv-
| ing as a member of the board of di-
rectors of the Spokane National Apple
show and as secretary of the North
west By-Products committee which was
recently appointed to conduct exten-
sive Investigations in every fruit belt
of the northwest. He stands high in
the esteem not only of the educators
in horticultural lines all over the west
ern fruit-growing country but also of
the leading growers themselves. His
loss will be keenly felt at the Universi
ty of Idaho and it will be difficult to
find a man of equal ability for his
place. He goes to an institution
which, though not yet as strong, per-
haps, in horticultural lines as is Ida
ho, has a big future and commands
the respect of its state. His salary
will be larger than that which he has
commanded here and climatic condi-
tions will be more desirable 1t is
in large part on account of Mrs. Wicks'
health that he decided to accept the |
position at Arkansas.
He will move his family to Fayette-
Vile about February l.
