WHAT WILL HAPPEN
IN COLORADO NOW?
(By United News Writers. }

(By United News WriterH.)
WASHINGTON, D. c., June a.
Has the United States government,
through the commission on industrial
relations, officially given to the work
ers of Colorado the material with
which to fight back against Rockefel-
Ter on something like an even basis?
Those who watched through the
hearings here and noted the thorough
ness with which the Rockefeller ma
chinations in Colorado were laid bare
went away specializing about the
chances for indicting Rockefeller and
his Colorado officials on the same
basis that Lawson and almost a half
hundred other miners were indicted
on.
In these hearings the very last link
in the chain was laid bare. It was
shown, by Rockefeller's own cores
pondence, that he was boss of the stu
alton every minute. His letters to his
Colorado satellites said, Whatever the
outcome, we are with you to the end.>
Meanwhile his Colorado officials
were writing to him boasting that the
big banks had banded together and
swung the Little cowboy governor"
so L. M. Bowers called Ammons---
into line, that they had rounded up"
the editors of fourteen Of the biggest
newspapers of the state and the scabs
were pouring in from the east and
south
On top of this came the astounding
information that Bowers had inform
ed Rockefeller, IN ADVANCE, that
Troop A, the infamous troop that mas
sacred Ludlow, was to be formed from
company men, mostly thugs and gum
men, to be paid by the mine owners,
but to operate under the guise of state
militia Here was the clincher. This
was the big evidence. The commits
sion has it in black and white and
it can't get away. Neither can the
Rockefeller outfit get away from it.
1t is therein the records for all
time, the browning infamy of the ma
TONS most infamous chapter.
There are strong indications that
the miners will make use of the evil
dence brought out in this hearing and
that information will be filed in Colo
RADIO, on the strength of which it is
hoped that indictments for completely.
or some similar charge, may be OBJ
tanned.
It is pointed out that Rockefeller
stands in exactly the same position as
the miners in the matter of respon-
sibility for violence. 1t never has
been claimed that Lawson knew that
There was to be violence, that he
counselled it or approved of it. In
fact, he is known to be opposed to
violence.
1t is not claimed that Rockefeller
actually ordered any one shot, or
roasted. But he approved the policies
which resulted in many deaths, it is
pointed out. He knew about the form
atisn of the murdereus Troop A and
he backed the Colorado operators to
the finish in everything.
The evidence brought out may shake
the nation to its roots before the last
echoes of it have died away. Things
are laid bare to the last ditch here.
It was a great piece of work newt
ably Colorado was the center Of it all.
And Colorado now has the opportunity
to clean her skirts.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN COLO
RADIO NOW?

@. Kindly answer the following In
your "IegaP' column:
(1) A. gave 3. his personal check
last November. 3. still holds the
check. How long may he hold It with
out cashlng, and not destroy Its value 2
In other words, what Is the statutory
Limitation on personal checks?
(2) Can the state collect from reIa.
tives for keeping patient In the Hos
pltal for the Insane? Can the state
hold community property Of a patient
for said keeping?
(3) Does the flag law as passed
by the last session Of the legislature
make It illegal for farmer to float
the fred" on his premises?
SUBSCRIBER.
Answer
C) A check is a negotiable instru
ment, in other words, contract in
writing, upon which there is a statute
of limitations Of six years. Neverthe
less, the law Of negotiable instruments
Sec 1916 of our code provides: "A
check must be presented for payment
within a reasonable time after its
issue or the drawer will be discharged
from liability thereon to the extent
of the loss caused by the delay" This
means, among other things, that if the
bank of which the check is drawn
should become bankrupt, then the
holder Of the check would be the loser,
and not the drawer.
(2) The state cannot collect from
relatives; nor can community property
be held to pay charges.
(3) The new flag law applies only
to schools. Private citizens may float
what flag they wish on their own
premises.

BY way Of enlarging the children's

@. am figuring on buying a seine
to fish for salmon on the Snohomlsh
river, but do not know II II will be
allowed under the new law. SO, please
let me know II fishing with a seine
will be allowed.
G.. l..
A. The new n1h code provides as
follows on that POINT; ut shall be
unlawful to use any purse net, purse
seine, drag seine or other like seine or
net within two miles of the mouth of
any river, measured by the most direct
water course or within any such river.
That settles your case.
However, the law allows fishing
with set nets in the Snohomsh river
below the Snohomish wagon bridge.

BUSY TINE AT MELON MARKET
Heavy Cargoes at Wharf From
Chesapeake Bay Points.

Watermelons from Chesapeake bay
points are being received at the 18th
street wharf in good numbers, and the
pier is a busy place for eighteen out of
twenty-four hours a day. This morn
ing there were lying at the wharf six
or seven vessels, mostly power craft,
with from 1900 to $500 melons each
aboard, which were selling at prices
ranging from S to rs cents each in
large lots. The melon has to be excep-
tionally good to bring the higher price.
The demand is reported as excellent,
and all day long wagons and motor
trucks are loading up cargoes for up
town consumption.
The watermelon season, the dealers
say, will not be at its best until about
the latter part of the coming week.
The hot nights Of the past ten days
have had a beneficial effect upon the
growth and maturing of the melons,
but they are behind time in ripening,
though now rapidly getting in condi-
ton for market. The crop, like that of
most fruits and vegetables. will be a
large one, and by the end Of this month
they will be arriving here by the thou
sand each day.

Washington anglers who last week
learned of the interesting catch OF
rockfsh made by H. B. Wilson near
Port Deposit Md. thought it was about
time to sit up and take notice. The
Susquehanna river, 1t is stated, always
was regarded as being one OF the best
stocked rivers in the country, and
many Washington sportsmen have
fished it, chiefly the upper part of the
river, for bass, however.
Mr.. Wilson's catch included fish
enough to fill an ordinary boat of the
kind that is used by anglers, and so
numerous were the large fish, he said,
that he kept nothing under five pounds.
His catch included one fish that
weighed nineteen and three-fourths
pounds, the largest of the string; two
weighing eighteen and half pounds
each, one weighing nearly fourteen
pounds one more than twelve pounds.
eleven over seven pounds and nine of
five pounds each. He caught any num-
Der of fish that weighed less than five
pounds.
Wilson did his fishing near the Mark
Rock Fishing Clubs grounds at Shures'
Landing. He baited with pieces of
large cells, using ten or more inches of
the tail and SO arranging it that the

Cob Bar light consumed considerably
| more than an hour.
But" commented Morris Auerbacn,
1.-The catch was worth the run that was
made for it,
When anchor was dropped and all the
hooks baited Mrs. Reed signaled for the
fishing to begin. All lines went over
board at the command, and 1t fell to
little Miss Mildred Lee, twelve years
old, to catch the first fish. 1t was a
three-pound rockfish that she caught,
and she fairly jumped for joy.
Miss Maize Glassgoe was the second
one to get excited over big fish on
her line Everybody In the boat turn
ed to watch the young lady pull in the
, game fish that she caught.
And it's nothing but an old toad"
said the disguised angler when she
saw the open mouth of the fish out Of
water.
Morris Auerbach volunteered to re-
lieve her of the burden. More than 200
pounds of fish were caught, and when
the return trip ended Mrs. Reed had a
fish dinner prepared for the members
of the party.

Mrs. M Shires Reed of the New WILL

Mrs. Reed appeared on the lawn and

and the members of the prospective
fishing party were delighted when a
big country wagon pulled up.
