SUBSCRIPTION CORNER

dollar pays everything for full year
If you know of an interested friend
or one who might be interested, you
will do a mutual favor by having your
friend subscribe.
Regardless Of politics, religious
creeds, nationally or anything else
the Majority is a LABOR NPAPER
published for the workers. It sup.
ports the workers at all times, and
naturally depends upon the workers
for support through their subscription.
Therefore, it surely behooves every
worker to be a regular subscriber.
The industrial review, alone, is worth
twice the price of the paper; but this
is only one Of the many features
each week.

Great Celebration
Of First Of May

international Labor day was cele-

strike district on the Ohio side. The
program as published was carried out

the parade of over one thousand men
that marched the principle streets of
Bellaire and carried the crowd with
them to the ball park, where they
were addressed by Chairman Homer
Wilson, Walter B. Hilton, Maximd
D'Abeti and others. The parade was
the subject of much favorable com
ment. The men in line have passed
through hard and too many Of them
so severe winter they will never for
get it, and a campaign of idleness
covering about Is months, yet they
were a surprise to the spectators,
neat in appearance, with the best of
order maintained throughout the en-
tire line.
They were there to register sin
oere protest against the useless de-
;truction Of men in Europe, and con-
lucted themselves accordingly. Ban
ners were carried bearing such in
scaription: 1--WE will remember those
who voted in favor of the Gallagher

is the entire world!"
A resolution condemning the present
war and calling upon laboring men to
refuse to aid in the manufacture of

Plans to conduct publicity cam

crew law were perfected at a meeting
of over a score of railroad brother
hood representatives in Wilkesbarre,
PA.

During the hearing on the full crew
law last Thursday night, Senator
Campbell was made the object of sur
veillance by one of the Burns men
and every time he tried 10 get into
touch with one of the men of the
railroad brotherhoods for the purpose
OF consultation, he would find this
fellow hanging close around to hear
what was being said This made
Campbell pretty hot, and he decided
to have bill drawn at once to be
introduced on the following morning
# this bill can be enacted into law
and private detectives put out of busi-
ness, it will serve society a good pur-
pose. Detective work should be done
by the regular and legally constituted
police forces Of the country, and not
by criminal and irresponsible sleuths
in the employ of special interests.
This danger is already too well
known from late actual experience.
Campbell's bill should become law.

FINES FOR GUMSHOES

Olympia, Wash-senator John Z.
Campbell, the labor member from
Snohomish county has introduced a
bill making those who engage in the
work as privete detectives in this state
telons, and liable to fine of not less
than $1,000 and imprisonment for a
term of not less than two years.
Campbell was particularly prompt-
ed to urge the enactment of law at
this time because of the presence of
a number of Burns detectives who
have been lowering about the capitol
since the opening of the legislative
session. These detectives were par
tIcularly active during the week that
the Washington State Federation of
Labor convention was in session here.
so far as that convention
was concerned all its meetings. as
well as the committee meetings and
caucuses, were wide open to the pub
lie and there was no opportunity for
sleuthing.

fetal limbs that would be serviceable
but he has not got it.
His hospital and physician bills in
Boise, aggregating a large amount
are unpaid, and he sees no way OF
ever earning the money to pay them
1t would seem that the great State
of Idaho should come to the relief
! OF Mr.. Dernier as he was working
Tor contractor for the State when
injured. An apprpriation should be
made that would set Mr.. Dernier up
in some little business, if there be any
such, that a man in his crippled con
dition could attend to, or else an an
nuity during his life time of a few
hundred dollars shduld be granted
him to secure for him living.
Who in all Idaho would exchange
places with this patient sufferer in
exchange for any pittance that the
State may grant7
There is justice in the claim which
this man presents to the representa-
tives of the people of Idaho, for he is
in this pitiful condition through no
fault of his own, and the State per-
mitted the contractors to undertake
and complete the great work of build
ing the State Capitol, without any
provision for the protection of in
jured workmen. Doubtless it was an
oversight upon the part of the State
officials, but surely no one would
want one unfortunate laborer to suf-
fer for the lapse of the chosen officials
of all of the people of the State.
Members of labor unions especially
should be active in behalf of Mr.. Der
nier, for he was a member in good
standing of one of the unions and
what befall any of our members at
any time
Justice-plain, every day justice be-
tween man and man demands that
the State of Idaho should come to the
assistance Of this patient, suffering
man, whose whole life has been dark
eneH and whose helpless condition
must last until death claims him.

Legislature. Do by this man as ye
would be done by

While engaged in working up
on Idaho's State Capital build
ing on March 5th, 1912, John R.
Dernier, a stone cutter, was in
jured by falling stone weigh
ing about four tons which other
employees were attempting to
move, and both legs were crush
ed and the injured man removed
to hospital where ten separate
operations were made in a fur
tile effort to save the limbs, but
amputation of both legs was
found necessary before he could
leave the hospital on July 10Th,
1913, a period of more than 16
months. The contractors, James
Stewart & Co., of New York,
never paid one cent of damages
nor In anywise contributed to
the relief of the injured man.
Mr.. Dernier was advised by at
toneys that as the Company
was a New York concern and
had no statutory agent in Idaho
upon whom service could be Sc
cured that he could not sue for
damages. The local stonecut-
ters' Union and the Boise
Trades Council alone have con-
tributed to Mr.. Dernier's assist
ance, but their resources were
very limited, which has been all
the help which he has received.
His aged mother came to Boise
in July, 1918, and took him to
her humble home in Vermont,
from which place he appeals to
the citizens of Idaho for justice.

Resolutions Adopted at Ada County
Pomona Grange,
February 4, 1915.

Resolved, That the Ada County
Grange urges upon the State Legisla-
ture the creation of a State Depart
ment of Agriculture and that Horti-
cultureral, Fish and Game, Pure Food
Veterinary and Health Departments
be merged into the Department OF
Agriculture.
If We fail to have the Agricultural
Department establishment as herein
asked for, we ask for the following
amendments to the Horticulture
Law.
Whereas, the Horticultural Laws of
Idaho at present on the statute books
are unsatisfactory to the fruit growers
of the state though possibly salts
factory to the state board of horti-
culture; and
Whereas, Section 10 discriminates
in favor of the man with money and
therefore unjust; and
Whereas, Section II is not enforced
in the case of big shippers inasmuch
as it is notorious fact that they have
been shipping infected fruit; and
Whereas, it is a notorious fact that
such fruit is sold in many orchards;
and
Whereas, said Section II is con-
trary to the 14th amendment to the
Constitution of the United States in
as much as it "abridges the privileges
of citizens of the United States" and
virtually "deprives them of property
without due process of law" there
fore
It is resolved by the Ada County
Pomona Grange assembled in Merid-
ian this 4th day of February, 1915,
that our Legislative Committee take
steps to have the law amended with
