LOCKOUT OF LATHERS LOOKS
LIKE HUGE FAILURE
The fathers lockout is dying.
It fell from a scaffOld in front Of
the home of its foster parents, the
Employers and Erectors' assn, in
Chamber of Commerce building, and
broke its back.
Certain men are on the job with
pulmoter, pumping oxygen into its
chest in the hopes of bringing it back
to life. But hope is vain. It is a
bum fizzle, for what good at all is a
lockout if there is nobody to lock
out?
That question has stumped the
Employers and Erectors' assn.
With great pomp and the waste of
much first page space in the trust
dailies, the association on Feb. % an
nOunced that it thereby declared a
lockout of all fathers who would not
work under the joint agreement it de-
sired. This agreement would have
put the blink on the unions.
But the lockout didn't pan out. The

sired. This agreement would have
put the blink on the unions.
But the lockout didn't pan out. The
union men who were turned out have
all found jobs, and now the Employ
ers' assn is confronted with the par
adox of having lockout ON its hands
with no one to lock out. It is about
the same as being "an dressed up and
no place to go"
The Employers assn thought that
with the men locked out of their
jobs they would soon be starved into
submission. It was a bum think.
Most of the contractors refused to
follow the dictate of the association
and kept their men right on the job

The remainder of the ninth subdi-
vision OF Section / Of the act is the
same as it was in 1881, as quoted
above, and apparently the provision
contains the last two lines, ito fix and

In other words, on the face of it.
no change whatever was made in the
original act, except the emphasizing
of certain forms of business as being
subject to license tax.
In 1896 the Supreme Court of Ne
yada, in the case of the Board of Coun-
ty Commissioners of Washoe County
etc. VS. A. w. Griswold held as fol.
lows:
This legislation SHOWS tnaI BY the
terms 'unincorporated towns in the
aihthuultHl WIS meant buCl lOWnS as

porated towns, and the fact that the
.proviso introduced by the amendment
Is In terms confined to that class of
towns does not make any part of the
act applicable to any other class of
towns. The proviso being the only
change in the section as it originally
stood, it Is clear that this was the
sole purpose of the amendment, and
that by II the Legislature intended to
restrict the previously unlimited pow
ers OF the commissioners in the col
lection OF licenses, to the kinds of bus
mess enumerated in the clause added
to the section"
This means that no licenses could
be imposed by the commissioners un-
der the Town Government Act, as
amended. except upon the businesses
enumerated in the proyiso, in spite of
the general provision covering all
classes of business which became in
corporated into the proviso.

law and common sense is that moth

eept he law itself distinctly provides

publication is meant publication by

were no daily papers, how could publ

But, as argued by counsel for the
defendants, publication does not
necessarily mean printing in "A news

LEGATION" ever since The purpose of
the publication was no doubt two
fold to inform, and to afford oppor-
tunity for objection to its enforce
ment. which latter opportunity exists
now. as evidenced by the answers in
this and its companion suits, and has
existed for ten years. Under the cir
cumstances as detailed, conclude
that the publication or the ordinance
was sufficient.
The fourth question to be acted
upon is whether the businesses of the
defendants in this and related suits
are subject to the payment OF licenses
under the provisions of the Town
Government Act This calls up for
consideration as striking an example
of legislative bungling as one is like
ly to encounter. The ninth subdivis-
ion of Section l of the act of 1881
reads
"Ninth-TQ fix and collect license
tax on, and regulate all places of bus
mess and amusement so licensed, as
follows, to-wit: Artisans, artists, as
sayers. auctioneers. > to license,
tax and regulate, prohibit and sup

fessions. trades or business within

II will be seen from this that every
class of business was subject to a
license tax

RIGHT TREATMENT
FOR FENCE POSTS
Pile Neatly and Allow Them to
Thoroughly Season-PIan
for Charrinq.

When most farmers prepare to build
fences they set green posts and then
when they begin to rot OFF at the top
Of the ground after four or five years
they grumble and fret a great deal
about the trials and tribulations Of
fencing. As matter Of fact, If the
posts are neatly piled in the dry and
allowed to thoroughly season, and then
are treated by charring the end which
is to be placed in the ground. and the
top. which should be slanting. is
painted with red lead and linseed oil,
they will last so or GO years.
Here is the method for charring.
Build heap Of logs 10 or IL feet long,
set It on fire. and when burning brisk
ly, lay upon the fire the ends of as
many posts as It will accommodate
crosswise. Turn them over a time or
twr, and when slight coal has formed
upon the surface. throw them into a
pile and put on others. You can treat

THE HOUSE PLANTS
BY II. 3. poRNER.

In the potting of house plants you
can mix the proper soil yourself il
vou know the needs of the different
plants. Take some old blue grass sod
and pile it up until it rots, and you
will have the ideal form of dscayed
vegetable matter for the principal
constituent of all kinds of soil for
potted plants. There are three kinds
Of potting soil, as follows:
For geraniums and the ordinary va
rietiss of blooming plants.-Three
parts loan from the rotted sod, one
part we'll rotted manure and one part
sand If the soil is heavy.
For ferns, besonias and such foli-
age plants.-Two parts loan. one part
leaf mold or peat, and one-half part

For palms or roses.-Two parts
clay loan and one part well rotted
manure, aud sand to suit the texture
