Lake Helen has been selected as
the place for the summer convention
of the volusia County Sunday School
association, and from the present
outlook we will have one of
the best Sunday school conventions
held in this county in recent years.
Lake Helen is a pleasant place in
which to hold such a gathering at
this season of the year. and it can
be more easily reached from the
most thickly populated sections of
our county. both by rail and auto,
than possibly any other point that
might have been selected.
Preparation is being made for a
large delegation, and all attendin.
maya rest assured that the time will
be pleasantly, as well as proftably
spent.
We are promised full and instruc
tive program. Among others whC

BUCK FoR COUNCILMAN

There is a growing sentiment
among the voters Of Boise that the in
lection of little new blood into the
city council would be a good thing
especially is this true OF those voters
who gave Mayor Robinson his
splendid majority. There is a feeling
that new man would be more in
harmony with the mayor than would
be the councilmcn who had been part
OF the previous administration Inn
bued with this idea voters are railying
TO the support of Howard NJ. Buck for
councilman and some are predicting
that Mr.. Buck will be the high man
when all the votes are counted in the
final contest Mr. Buck is an ener-
getic man of affairs and every one
realizes that he would make an ef-
heient and trustworthy official

Of Colorado EndeavOr to Discredit
Claims Of Workers

San Francisco.-In commenting on
the actions of what it terms Colo
radios Obedient Legislature" the Bull
letin of this city says:
Some day there will be another
coal miners strike in Colorado. The
lower house of the legislature Of that
state, which passed the bill to abolish
Judge Lindsey's juvenile court, has
been grinding out laws to make it
easy for the mine owners to stamp
out this strike when it comes. One
law makes it illegal to make a speech
or publish newspaper article tend
ing, to incite riot;' form of words
certain to used by any bought
judge to suppress any utterances,
however peaceable, that are unfriendly
to the dominent powers. Another law
makes it a felony to attack mem
Der of the national guard, which
means that it will be felony to re-
sist one, no matter what he does. Col
orado's national guard, during. the re-
cent troubles, included professional
gun men, in the pay of the mine own
ers, and they created a situation in
which the miners had to choose be-
tween resisting or being deprived of
all their civil rights, being driven out,
being beaten, and even being MUIR
dered
The Gem worker and the Idaho labor herald. (Boise, Idaho) 1914-1917, 1915-04-15

"A third law erects the smallpox
tato militia officer into power in the
land by making it nisdemeanor to
refuse to obey his orders. Last year
one officer in the Colorado militia
struck an unarmed and defenseless
prisoner over the head with the butt
OF musket and killed him; and such
men will represent law in the coal
helds if this becomes a statute.
Not reading between the lines of
the short dispatch describing these
acts of a stupid, cringing legislature,
one might be led to believe that Colo
RADIO was trying to redeem herself
from the curse of violence. No inl-
preston could be more false. Every
citizen of Colorado must know that
such laws merely give one set of men
power to use violence against another
set. 1t is rank class Legislation,
though, like most class legislation that
is really dangerous, it does not come
within the range of the constitutional
prohibitions.
I'VE shall sec more history made Ia
that state; and the best that can be
hoped is that it will not be bloody,
like the history of the past year, but
instead an irresistible up-swelling of
determined people, resolved to gov
ern themselves, and to have justice,
and to have peace"

Columbus.-Former Attorney Cen
eral Hogan says the railroads in this
state are not entitled to an increase
in passenger fares, and calls on citi-
zens to protest to their senators and
representatives to offset "a powerful
railroad lobby that now claims ma
jority in both branches" of the legis-
lature. Mr.. Hogan, says
Il am convinced that if the rail-
roads operating in Ohio would
squeeze all of the water out of their
capitalizations that their present reve-
nue. would be more than enough to
pay ample dividends and allow a COM
Portable sum to be placed each year
in their surplus"
He says the railroads have not
proved their case, and that if they
have case of real merit the place
for them to go is into court.

children be freed from requirement to
toll. 1t is the duty of Illinois Manu-
facturers Association if it would op-
pose the pending measures, to show
how the results can be accomplished
without legislative interference with
unprivileged business What is more,
it is the associations duty to work
for adoption of better method. That
there is better way is fact But
since the association is doing nothing
to push it, it should put nothing in
the way of we'll meant efforts to abol-
ish a crying evil, even though the
methods be crude and unscientifc;
and likely to breed evils previously
unknown. An honest experiment will,
at least, help to educate public opinn-
ion along proper lines. The do-noth-
ing policy, unreasonably insisted on
by the Manufacturers Association, is

San Francisco-Discuss refer
endum on the question of going to
war, the Bulletin of this city says:
THE constitution gives Congress
the power to declare war; and it
gives the President, acting with two
thirds OF a quorum of the Senate, the
power to make treaties. If the people
of the United States were really de-
sirous of setting Europe a good ex-
ample they would limit both these
powers, although it cannot be said
that they have been seriously abused
Moreover, every treaty made, with
whatsoever government, for what
soever purpose. should be dragged
out into the light and examined until

Chicago. Wayne c. Ellis, statisti-
can of the Iowa railroad commission,
is not impressed with the poverty
tales of railroad managers. While
protesting to the interstate commerce
commission agent increased rates for
the benefit of western roads, the Iowa
official enumerated roads in Iowa,
Nebraska, North Dakota and Mime
sofa, which, he said, were earning
from to 10 per cent.
"A1l of the roads in this territory"
he continued, were able to pay their
operating expenses, taxes, interest on
bonds and debts, dividends on pre-
ferred stock and had enough left in
1914 to equal $40 per cent on their
stock outstanding in the hands of the
public. In 1913 they earned 1903 per
cent on the common stock"
The witnesses explained that his
Averages were obtained by including
the non-dividend paying roads with
those regarded as prosperous.

Defeat Contract System

Jefferson City.-Through organ
lied labor's activity, the state legis-
lature defeated bill to extend the
contract system in convict labor in
this state. The workers not only de-
feated this BILL but secured the pas
sage of a law which abolishes the
system and in augurates the state
use system.
Other legislation secured is:
Miners bath law.
Empowering state mine inspector
to close dangerous mines
Making it easier to prosecute imita-
tors of union labels and shop cards.
Providing for better sanitary con-
ditions in foundries.
Labor secured the defeat of bill
to repeal the BARRIERS state board of
examiners and lost in their efforts
to secure a workmen's compensation
law.

DON'T WANT REFORM.
Manufacturers Of Illinois Take Stand in Op-
position to Women and Children

The Illinois Manufacturers Associa-
tion strenously objects to the passage
by the legislature of laws regulating
the labor of women and children. 1t
wants the regulation of business by
law to stop. Little effort is needed
to show that restrictive legislation
Of this kind is not the right remedy
for the eveils aimed at. But that is
not the object of the Manufacturers
Association. Its demand is in effect
that conditions be left as they are,
that nothing be done to stop exploita-
tion of women and children. 1t aims
to show that the particular bills be-
fore the Legislature will hurt business
and assumes that, having shown that,
nothing more is necessary to prove
that the bills should be killed. But
much more is necessary. Business
is very important-that is, business
apart from privilege is so-but of no
less importance is the need that wo-

Denies Right to Picket

Lenoir City, Tenn.-Ihe need Of a
state anti-injunction law, similar to
the recent enacted federal Clayton act,
is shown by the order of Chancellor
Kyle in the case of striking textile
workers and the Holston Manufac-
turing company, which secured tenn
porary injunction and which is now
made permanent Under its provis-
ions the strikers are permitted to ask
non-unionists to join them, but they
are not allowed to picket or urge
non-union employees to quit the SER
vice of the mill management.
The strike was caused by discharges
when a local of textile workers was
formed. The workers say conditions
were unbearable and they were forced
to unite.

the public is thoroughly familiar with
every word, clause and punctuation
mark contained in it.
Furthermore, there should be no
more secret diplomacy, however in
nocent its nature. The occasional dan
ger from divulging details of delicate
passages between governments is
nowhere near so great as the danger
from habitual secrecy.
''Tshis is revolutionary. of course.

affairs in a tolerably democratic man

Chicago-It appears that the at
tempt to divide public schools in this
state has failed. A new plan is now
being advocated to establish dual
system of schools in Chicago by ap-
pointing superintendent of vocation
al education independent of the reg
Ular school superintendent, and with
full power over special department
to be known as the department of
vocational schools" Trade unionists
are opposing all these theories, as
they see in them attempts to segre-
gate the children of workers into vo-
cational schools, while those whose
parents are more fortunately provid-
ed with the means of life will secure
the usual public school education.

state senate to require every employ

vices to prevent the contraction by
his employees of any illness or disease
incident to the work in which such
employees are engaged. Every pro-
cess in the manufacture of white lead,
red lead. litharge, sugar of lead, arse
nate of lead, lead chromate, lead sui
phate, lead nitrate, or nuo-silicate, is
declared especially dangerous to the
health of employees, and employers
must provide hhoods and air exhausts
for the protection of employees. and
washing facilities, eating rooms, drink
ing fountains, change of clothing, and
at least two reasonably effective
respirators. The employer must also
provide medical examination, at least
once month, for employers exposed
to lead dusts, lead fumes, or lead so~
lutions.

lieved that no class is so rapidly in

occupations. She favored giving these
workers the necessary money to main

well-paid pleader, the company in-
sists that wages should be reduced.
To offset the claim of Prof. Irving
Fisher, Yale university, that the work
ers were entitled TO increases, the
company presented Prof. Richey, of
w orcester Polytechnic Institute, who
introduced a bewildering array of
charts and figures to prove his claim
that since 1909 the cost of living has
increased about 10 per cent and wages
have increased about 13 per cent.
According to this schoo1man's figures,
there is no increase in living costs
because wages have kept in advance.
Attorney Swift was in hearty accord
with these sentiments. which sustain
his appalling demand theory
