TESTING THEIR GOVERN
MENT'S GOOD FAITH

The BOdenreformers of Germany
are taking the government at its word
in its insistence that in this war the
soldiers at the front are fighting u@
their" country They are agitating
for a law that will make truth of thtS
patriotic fiction. Homesteads for sol
diers egerheimstatten) is the cry
that is being raised in Germany. The
specific demand is that land for a
homestead with a garden attached be
furnished to every married soldier re-
turning from the war or to the fam
lily of every soldier who has fallen.
The land is not to be sold to the men.
They are to be given possession on a
perpetual lease and will be required
Ito pay to the government annual
ground rent.
The government is to lend them
money for buildings and other i'm
proyements to be repaid in easy pay
ments, These improvements will be
exempt from taxation.
This will give economic independ.
ence to several millions of working
class families of Germany, and it may
be taken for granted that workers ex-
Guided from its benefits will insist on
extension of its benefits to them The
man who stayed at home to raise food
and manufacture supplies for the
army may truthfully claim to have
been as important factor as the men
on the firing line in the work of kill
ing soldiers Of other nations.
1t is true that agitation for a mea-
sure of this kind does not necessarily
mean its actual adoption. But the
government cannot reject it without
declaring in effect that the men who
have endured the dangers and suffer
ing of the war have been fighting for
a country not their own, and for a
government that is utterly Indifferent
to their rights.
What the Bodenreformers of Ger.
many are doing should be done by the
land reformers of Great Britain, |
France, Austria, Russia and other
nations. 1t would furnish
IN infallibe test of the good faith of
heir governments in asking its citi- |
ems to fight for their" country

ton of Labor.
| Our old acquaintance, Mr.. Labo
| Injunction, seems to be extremely &C
tive around these parts of late, Seat
tie unionists have had several visits
from him in the past year, Everett
was on the calling list short time
ago and now Tacoma is chosen as
the scene of his visitation.
Mr.. LaBounty, proprietor of a bar
Der shop in the City of Destiny, has
asked for an injunction with cast
damages against the Tacoma Labor
advocate, the Tacoma BARRIERS union
and the Tacoma Central Labor COun
Gil.
The facts as I gather them seem tC
be about as follows:
Mr.. LaBounty, apparently at the in
stigation of the State Employers as
sociation, broke his shop agreement
with the BARRIERS union and returned
the shop card. Upon his refusal to
longer do business with the union
BARRIERS he was visited by a commit
tee from the Central Labor Council.
Upon his refusal to come to any
agreeable terms of settlement, an ad-
verse report to the council by this
committee resulted in the placing of
oh al faf
list" in concurrence with the action
of the BARRIERS. An active campaign
to acquaint the public with the facts
in controversy was begun That cam
paign was unique. The old style of
advertising through "pickets" station
ed in front of place of business was
thrown into the discard The Tacoma
Labor Advocate told through its news
columns each week in newsy, breezy
style, the progress of the controversy
between the contending parties and
the events leading up to the councils
action. Newsboys offered copies of
the paper for sale to passers-by. 1t
is stated by the unionists that the
boys made no attempt to waylay
would-be customers but sold the pa |
Ders to whoever would buy, explain
ng to any who asked questions but
lot attempting to bother pedestrians
Tor customers.
The campaign evidently was effec-
i've as Mr. LaBounty asks for
injunction. The prayer for
junction alleges picketing and boy J.

Injunction Sought Against
Tacoma Union Forces

cotting in a wholesale manner This
the answer to the complaint denies
Messrs Govnor Teats and Homer T
Bone, of Tacoma, represent the union
lists in the legal proceedings, the first
hearing in which is pending as
write these lines. 1t is highly prob,
able that this case will find it's way
to the state supreme court as neither
party to the case will be satisfied
with the action of the superior court
| (This in the event that an order to
show cause is granted and the case
comes on for trial, which seems most
| likely)
1t is easily imaginable that it will
become celebrated in legal annals in
| this state dealing with labor prob
lens. Labor steadfastly contends 1t
has the right to give or withhold it's
patronage as it pleases and induce
others by peaceful means to do like
wise. 1t contends just as sturdily
that it has the right to acquaint the
general public with the facts at is
sue in any labor dispute through
peaceful methods. The Clayton bill
has written those rights into the fed
eral statutes Ex-Attorney General of
the United States, Mr.. Wickersham,
in recent article admits that the
Clayton Act expressly gives to labor
the rights above referred to while at
the same time expressing pronounced
antagonism to the philosophy of Sam
uel Gompers written, as he alleged,
into the federal enactment.
If labor cannot do these things,
holding itself always amenable to the
common law for its accompanying
language and action, then we might
as well throw up our charters, quit
paying hall rent, divide up our union
and quit business. With
no great longing to get mixed up in
long drawn-out legal battles, it may
be just as we'll, since the organized
employers have forced the issue, to
settle the rights of organized labor
in this regard in the court of last re-
sort in this state.
Organized labor all over the state |
will watch with interest the Tacoma
situation. Any help, morally or finan-
,ially, that Tacoma's sister unions
IAN tender in this fight will be most
lssuredly welcomed

Convention Fund For Other Meetings
to Be Held During Coming Year.

An invitation to hold the annual
state encampmert of the Iowa division
Of the Grand Army of the Republic in
this city in June. 1915, will be extended
by the local post, following the assur-
ance by the board of directors OF the
Marshalltown Club that the club will
see to the expense part OF the affair.
The club directors passed q resolution
at their meeting Wednesday night to
the effect that If the encampment is
secured for this city arrangements will
be made to cover the expense.
Marshalltown entertained the en-
cam pment the last time in 1897 and thus
has a good chance of securing the af-
fair for next year. Centrally located
as the city is, the delegates will be
able to save several hundred dollars in
railroad fare which could not be done
so well in any other Iowa city. Be-
tween 1900 and 1000 people would be
in the city should the encampment
come here.

tended by the local post and steps will
be taken to inform the executive coun-
ell OF this fact This council decides
on the convention places yearly. in
stead Of the next meeting place being
chosen at the encampment. The 1919
eucampment was held in Sioux City.
Plans Convention Fund.
The MarshaIltown Club plans to
raise convention fund of $4,000. which
will be used In taking care of the three
and possibly four conventions which
are scheduled for Marshalltown in
1915. This fund will be raised by pop
ular subscription. and several ner-
chants have already sisnifed their
willingness to subscribe.

taurant men. held at the club recently
they agreed to give their support to
the movement and aid in making Mar
shalltown a convention city" The
three conventions which are already
assured for next year are the Iowa

whose friends were legion. and who
went out a good deal, could not pos.
sibly take the tiger about with him
unless by special request, and he was
growing too big to be left without
constant supervision. Any day the
savage instinct which had lain dor
mant for SO long might break out
And although Mcnamara was abso.
lutely certain that for himself there
feel sure that some unforeseen chance
might not bring about a catastrophe
for which he should find it hard to
forgive himself.
So one day. after consulting the COL
onel. letter was written to the au-
thorities of the London geological
gardens Offering the cub as a free gift
to the society forever. To which there
was speedy answer, conveying a
warm and kindly acceptance. and Mac
namara was asked to take his pei
himself. that he might see what ar
engagements could be made for its
comfort.
Accordingly the next morning, after
breakfast. he ordered his cart round,
into which the cub jumped at a word,
and lay down comfortably at his mas
ter's feet. But when, two or three
hours later. the cart came back, there
was no four-footed passenger, and the
only other occupant was pulling his
moustache absently, went straight to
his room, and did not appear at
lunch.
In the course Of the afternoon there

cage at once, and when he saw me
the wrong side of the bars I really
thought he would have dashed himself
to pieces In his efforts to get al me.
And then he howled as If he were
being murdered by inches They were
kind to him and most patien: They
offered him a piece of raw meat, but
he wouldn't look at 1t or let them 20
near him. I went back into the cage
once or twice and he simply covered
me with caresses and begged har.l
that I would take him back with me.
At last the keepers said he would have
a better chance at settling down If ]
left him. and they hoped he would
make friends with the man who fed
him. They admired him immensely,
and said he was the handsomest cub

All the meaning Of the situation
flashed upon Johns mind. They were
but two. they had but one gun.
Run to the fortw cried John. push
ing him with the word to get him
started. Once going. he ran like a
frightened doe; so hard, indeed. that
without the restraint and guidance of
his brother he would have been ex-
hausted early in tho race.
The Indians sprang nimbly to the
pursuit. but they had at first to run
tree the foremost stopped to examine
the gun and pouches. and a dispute
arose over their possession. This was
quickly settled by the chief, but every
moment gained was precious to the
fugitives.
John set the pace which he believed
Stephen could keep to the end and
said:
Don't look back: I will keep watch
on tho Indians for US both"
John had taken note as they ran
Of several important facts. Only two
or three OF the Indians carried rifles,
and they were not among the fore
most. He believed that. in accordance
with the report he had heard, the guns
were empty.
Tho Indian who had secured the
white mans rife had stopped to load
1t. and was far in the rear. 1t was
the evident purpose of the leaders to
run their victims down and kill them
with tomahawk and knife; then. II
possible, they would surprise the fort,
massacre the inmates, and carry away
the ammunition there to be found.
The reason for their confidence
soon became apparent. Stephen could
not avoid now and then turning his
head for a backward glance, and he 1t
was who first recognized in the fore
most runner a famous Indian chief
named Bigfoot, known as the bravest
warrior and swiftest runner of the
Wyandotte tribe. 1t was reported
also. that he had three brothers, near
ly equal to himself in swiftness, who
usually went with him on mis- expedi-
lions.
There had not been a doubt in the
mind of John about his own ability
to outrun the Indians. The question
from the first had been how to save
