ENTER A PROTEST
RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY 18TH
WARD LOCAL, SEATTLE

Whereas, We are in receipt of a
quantity of subscription cards to the
Party Builder and a communication
from the state secretary asking this
local to sell the cards and remit the
proceeds to him; and
Whereas, The constitution provides
for the publishing of a party bulletin
to be paid for out of the funds already
provided for in the dues paid by its
membership; and
Whereas, We believe the S. e. c,
are in open violation of the constitu-
ton in thus ignoring the provisions
made for publishing the Bulletin; and
Whereas, We believe the field for
Socialist papers is well filled in this
state by the Washington Socialist and
the Seattle Socialist and that another
publication would seriously impair the
papers already in existence as well as
to impose an unnecessary tax upon
the membership; therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of
this local that the S. e. C. are in open
violation of the constitution and are
assuming power not vested in them
and that we refuse to be participators
in the scheme Of placing a publication
wholly at the dictation of our state
executive committee, and that we re-
turn to the state secretary the sub.
cards sent us and that copy of these
resolutions be sent the Socialist press
of the state with the request that it
be given publicity and that copy be
sent to the state executive committee
and a copy placed on file.

$1,000 Suicides Yearly.
So far as statistics are available
there is no reason to believe that the
suicide rate in the small towns and
country districts is less than in
these cities where there is complete
registration. Calculating on this basis
the total number of suicides in the
United States each year is in excess
of $4,000

EXPECT RADluM WILL
COME DOWN IN PRICE

Contracts for delivery of radium In
the early months of 1915 have been
entered into at price as low as
$3.50 a milligram, and there is a
widely prevalent belief that there
may be a great fall in the price dur
ing the next two years. 1t is inter
esting to note that for some time af-
ter its discovery radium could be pro-
cured at less than one-tenth of its
present price. The demand for radium
to be used for medical purposes has
hitherto absorbed the output, and has
led to rates being quoted which are
excessive and altogether artificial.
The large profits obtained have. how
ever, stimulated search for uranium
ores in various countries, notably In
America. and as there are unlimited
quantities of low grade uranium rocks
available, 1t would appear to be mere
ly a question OF time before radium
will be placed on the market at Q
price bearing a reasonable ratio tC
the cost of Its production.-Britisf

ARMIES OF STUDENTS
STUDY IN GERMANY

tBS Associated Press.)
BERLIN, August 19.--Almost $1,000
students we're enrolled at Germany's
twenty-one universities in the last
semester, and 1000 more attended
certain lectures without being regu-
larly inscribed. The smallest univer-
sity, that of Rostock, has trifie
more than thousand students, and
the University of Berlin leads with
1888. Only 5000 of the $1,000 were
women. Recalling the cutlery Of last
year or two against foreign students,
one is surprised to find that there
were only 5000 foreigners enrolled.
Medicine attracts the greatest num-
Der of students. but philosophy, phol-
ology and history are not far behind.
Most of the universities are crowded.

The following report by Consul
Edwin n Gunsaulus, johannesburg, is
made in response to ten questions
propounded by Massachusetts firm
on the subject of wages, general la
Dor conditions, and employers liabil-
ity laws, etc. in South Africa.
General Conditions.
In submitting general statement
of conditions in regard to the wages
earned in South Africa. the fact must
not be lost sight of that in this coun-
try the mines of the Witwatersrand,
Transyaal, employ a majority of me-
chanics and workmen of nearly every
class of trade, with the result that
the standard wages paid by them
are adopted by almost all the re-
naming outside employers of labor.
STANDARD wages, per day, hour. or
week, and average weekly earnings
are: Mechanics-$4.8 (G1) per day
in the Transvaal; average weekly
earnings, $50, more particularly in
the mines machinists $4.S6 per day
in Transvaal; average weekly earn
ings. $50. Blacksmiths and farriers
carpenters and joiners, drill sharpen
ers, plumbers, iron molders and boil
ermakers are classed as toolmakers
The standard daily wage in Johannes
burg and the Witwatersrand is $4.S6
with the following exceptions; Black
smiths and dril sharpeners employed
on the mines receive Sc per day ant
work so hours per week Carpenter
and joineFs in Bloemfontein. 0rang'
Free State, receive 54 cents per hou
and work 3 hours per day. Plaster
ers and bricklayers in Transvaal re
ceive so cents per hour for hour
per day. The following are tn
standard wages paid to printers !

district Bloemfontein, Orange Ere
State, s22 per week; Bulawayo, Rh'

m. and cease at $3.50 p. m. for the
whole week, Monday to Saturday,
during summer, but in winter do not
commence until Z a, M, finishing at
3:15 p. m.
On the mines of the Witwatersrand
and with other firms in the district,
II is the practice to engage all de-
partmental foremen on fixed month
ly salary, averaging from SITS to
$195 per month. with no overtime.
while ordinary workmen receive a
rate and half when working over
time on weekdays and double pay
for Sundays
1 When an employe loses an hour,
more or less. 1t is the custom to de-
duct the time from his wages. In
many cases, however, if the time lost
is not excessive the foreman allows
1t to be made up. In cases OF sick
ness on the mines only, an employe,
other than the staff, does not receive
wages from the company during his
absence from work, but in order to
assist employees as much as possible
in this respect each mine has bene-
fit society to which employees are
compelled to belong, and from this
source they obtain half pay for the
whole period they are indisposed, pro
vided they are off work for not less
than seven days. In cases of acct
dent employees receive half wages
from the benefit society and hal
, from the insurance company

DOUBLE BILL At 0RpHEUM
First Glass Vaudeville for Last Three
Nights of Year.

The Orpheum theatre closes the last
three days of the old year, 1914, with
an excellent bill. There are two acts,
and both bear the earmarks of the big
town circuit. Davy and Allen are two
comedians in very clever comedy and
dancing that is hard to beat Then
comes the Australian team, Moley and
Mack, with biff and bang in come
dy talking and acrobatic dancing, that
makes you sit up and take notice
Mr.. Moley was comedian with Chas.
Chaplin, of the Keystone company,
and they played the Sullivan and Con-
sidine circuit together. the pictures
are all good. Episode No three of
Zudora, the Dutch Cheesemaker" is
very interesting. The management of
the Orpheum have some great attrac-
tions in storef or its patrons this
coming year Having contracted for
all the biggest and best acts available
on the western circuit. The policy has
always been to secure the best regard
less of expense, and the motto is to
always give the public their moneys s
worth.
The only handicap has been the lack
of room, but plans are under way,
which If they mature will mean larger
and better facilities in caring for their

mutt AND JEFF IN MEXICO"
Noted Creations of Bud Fishers Pen
Are Sure Laugh Makers.

Gus Hills new NUT and Jeff' pro-
duction called "In Mexico" is blazing a
trail of merriment that has never been
equalled by play of any sort or
character There seems to be no limit
to the possibilities of laugh producing
material to be culled from the famous
Fisher cartoons, which are now run
ming in more than one thousand daily
and Sunday newspapers throughout
the United States and Canada. This
seasons offering is entirely new with
the exception Of the inimitable droll
characters, "A Mutt" and his little pal
Mr.. Othello Montgomery Jeffriesls'
AS is natural to suppose, fun is the
paramount object of the play, and in
chat respects as well as from the
standpoint of musical comedy, Mr.. Hill
has been lavish in his expenditures
relative to scenery and electrical en-
bellishments and it is not at all unlike
ly that nothing so elaborate has ever
been presented at popular prices. The
same may also be truthfully said re-
garding the twenty or more separate
and distinct changes of magnificent
costumes worn by the chorus in their
advertisements and numberless song
h1ts. one or the scenic surprises is
the passing of full rugged ship
through the great Panama canal and
sailing into the Pacific ocean with our
heroes Mutt and Jeff" aboard. A
number of very interesting dramatic
situations containing genuine thrills
are added in order to relieve the strain
of incessant laughter. The book fur
nished by Bud Fisher and Owen Davis
gives ample opportunity for fun of
the Mutt and Jeff" brand. The entire
production being staged under the per-
sonal direction of Mr.. Gus Hill gives
assurance of the best that money can
buy, or that brains can invent Mr..
Hill may be rightly called the dean of
cartoon comedy production, Mutt
and Jeff" will never be permitted to
grow old SO it will undoubtedly be a
profitable investment for some years
to come.

WATER COMPANY
FILES ANSWER
Twin Falls Company Denies Al
legations Of City
CLAIMS WATER is OF AVERAGE
QUALITY AND PURITY,
Claims Active Opposition to Its Pro-
posed Improvements ON the Part Of
City Council.

An answer has been filed with the
public utilities commission by the
Twin Falls Waterworks company in
the application of the city of Twin
Falls to construct, operate and main
tain distributing system in the city
OF Twin Falls. The waterworks COM
pany supplies water there now.
In making answer to the allegations
OF the city in the application filed
some days ago with the commission,
the company denies all of the material
charges. It's water Is as pure as is
necessary for domestic and culinary
purposes, is the claim. Filters and
settling tanks have been built, and the
company would be willing to go even
further if the city would withdraw it's
opposition.
It is denied that the canal from
which the water supply is taken Is to
be closed after this winter, or that it
ever will be closed, and also that any
large system of waterworks is needed
in the town. Such plant as the city
contemplates cannot be built for the
three hundred. thousand dollars which
the city plans on spending, according
to the estimates of the company
Every move OF the company to bet
ter its service has been against the
active opposition of the city council,
says the answer. BY threatening to
grant franchises to other companies
to enter the field the city has prevent
ed the company frob obtaining capital
to further extend and better it's SER
vice, is the allegation.
Also it is stated that the pavement
has been no worse injured than in
other cities where the pipes lay under
meath the streets. The company as
serts that it has offered to repair the
streets and has petitioned that it be
allowed to lay its pipes in the alleys;
but the city has consistently refused
to allow either, in order that it might
stir up sentiment against the water
company. It's offers to sell at what it
terms a reasonable figure have. been
always refused it is said.
The case has been set for January
4 at Twin Falls, but a stipulation be-
tween the attorneys was filed with the
commission Thursday asking that the
hearing be postponed until February
3. The commission has not decided to
grant the equest.-Statesman
