Have Right To Join Union.

Denver, Nov. II. President
McIlhenny of the United States
civil service commission, writes
secretary-treasurer Walter of the
Railway Postal Clerks that the
commissions order against political
activity of Mare Island and navy
yard employees was not an attack
against unionists. The commits
sioner SAYS:
mo attempt was made to deny
to employees the privilege of mem
bership in labor unions or to re-
strict their political activities to
any greater degree than the activity
of other employees who are not
members OK labor unions are re-
stricted."

A NEW union is to be organic d
and it will take in all non union
machinists. The officers of the new
organization will be; Adam
Rentschler, President, Jake Seybol5
First Vice-President, Col. Hooven,
Second-Vice Presided. There will
be no secretary or treasurer and
thlre will be no dues. All that is
necessary to join the new organi-
zatiou is to obligate yourself to
scab on your fellow tradesmrn.
Some organization.

AND at last it comes out. The
officials of the factories where
strikes are on and where union
men will not go back to work until
the eight hour day is granted, are
now asking the men who a,e not
in the union to organize a union Of
their own. This kind of union
was organized in Hamilton once
before and ii was such a weak or
ganization that it died in a few
months. We predict an early
death for this would be organiza-
tion also.

Twenty-Five thousand garment work

Chicago With the exception of a few
Independent tailor shops and Hart,
schaffner & Marx. practically all the

IF THE stock holders and Off

estimation. The trade unionist
thinks otherwise.

Labor Hopes

American labor is going to act
on the world war.

to end it and prevent recurrence
of such a conflict in the future will

of such a conflict in the future will
be debated at the forthcoming con-
vention of the American Fedora
tion of Labor in San Francisco for
two weeks, beginning Nov. 8.
PLAN OF UNIONS
A year ago, at the Philadelphia
convention of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, which represents
more than 2, 900, 000 organized men
and women, resolution was passed
iustructine the executive officials
to communicate with the labor un
ions in the belligerent and neutral
countries of Europe and suggest
the advisability of calling worlds
labor congress to meet, at the con-
clusion of the war, in the same city
in which peace terms are to be neg
otiated and to remain in permanent
session until negotiations are con-
cluded by the representatives of
the various Governments.
The plan contemplates the ex
ercise of pressure upon the diplo
mats | y the labor congress to pre-
vent the victors from exacting
ruinoas tribute from the vanquish-
ed countries and thus perpetuate
nationalistic hatred and animosities
for generations to come.
EUROPE FAVoRs PLAN
The Confederation of Labor in
France, the German Federation Of
Trade Unior s, the British Labor
Congress, the Labor Federation of
Italy and similar bodies in other
countries have, through convention
or their executive officials, agreed
in the main with the American
plan and supple nented the same
by formulating programs which, in
nearly each instance, provide:
Against anne xation Of territory,
against payment of indemnity,
gradual reduction of armament,
freedom of the seas and universal
franchise and other measures cal
culated to prevent wars.

have the Joy OF seeing you worried,
but nobody will believe you after
you are complained against, SO take
your troubles quietly and remember
that the law was enacted for good
and noble purpose and If it is used by
designing ingrates to "get even" with
somebody, you may as well be the
goat as anybody.
Personally we like the law as it
is, but 1t is awfully inconvenient for
some of our friends. The officers
seem to be enforcing the law very
we'll, and there are lots of drunkards
and gamblers and other people Of lit
tie worth who do not live in this
county now. They have to mend
their ways or leave. How do you
like it anyway?

CONCERNING TYPEWRITER
Local Meetings Discuss Them

Last week we published some COM
ments on typewriters as they came
up in a meeting Of the school board.
The remarks published seem prolific
of results, and we mention some of
them in passing.
Time, Monday evening; place, the
court room; present, dozen men !;

The remarks were published in

derwood man and the mechanician
came up from Pocatello to see about

ARE YOU
SATISFIED?

For many years people have been
complaining that they cannot get Of
ficers who will enforce the anti-booze
laws. and they have sometimes ex-
pressed doubt whether we ever would
have officers who would do it.
Just now we have examples of all
kinds of violations of the liquor law,
from transporting it in auto truck
loads to the simple circumstance
of having part of bottle of 1t found
under pillow in the room where
the man had slept.
Some people like to drink, while
others would swim in it. Some
would take little as medicine but
neglect to get it under the protection
of doctors prescription Another
would gargle with 1t. and another
would combine it with a bowl OF
sugar and make tutifruti for use next
winter. We have all the different
grades of intemperance and near
temperance. 1t is dangerous to even
think of whisky. Only recently
young lady upbraided one of the Of
ficers for not catching all the boot
leggers, and she hardly had time to
turn around before a member of her
family was caught with the goods.
Thereupon she upbraided the officer
for going to extremes.
How is an officer to know what
kind of relatives the owner of suit
case may have Or what condition
their liver is in? There's lots Of peo-
pie with livers who don't want it to
get out. Enforcing this anti-booze
law Is making a lot Of people sit
up and take notice, and after the
first of January, three months and a
week from now, the penalty will be
greater. If the smallest part Of a
hottleful is found under the old box
in the darkest corner of your base
ment, you are liable to be remanded
to the custody of the sheriff to await

THE
THOUGHTFUL
MAN

The observations made at the fair
last week, and from the activity OF
the people coming and going in con-
nection with 1t, bring out some re-
Elections that must appeal to all
thoughtful people SO forcibly that
they cannot be ignored except at
sacrifice. Things are moving with
more speed and precision now days,
and the man who would keep up In
the race or be in the lead with sue
cess attaching to him, may as well
reflect that the next few years will
witness a marked disappearance Of
horses and much more marked null
tiplying of motor-driven vehicles and
tractor engines built for operating on
the country roads and in the fields;
and great increase in cattle, sheep,
swine and poultry.
The methods now being taught and
put into practice by the boys and
girls clubs will make rapid changes
in farming; will increase the yield
without corresponding increase in
the cost Of production; will stop
much Of the waste and especially will
stop the waste of time brought about
now by the enforced idleness of the
farmer during the winter season.
There will be more buildings on the
farm, but not in the form of big
horse barns so much as in COW barns
and silage tanks. There will be a
garage and machine shed, poultry
houses, hog houses and feed grinders;
there will be machines for Matching;
and for milking and for separating
milk; there will be autos for passen-
gers and auto trucks for heavy loads;
there will be electric lights and cleo
trio power along the main roads and
everything will be done quickly and
neatly as compared with the present.
Some of the things that will ap-
peal to people then will be that they
did not look ahead sooner and get
ready for the new ways; regret that
they did not begin sooner to keep the
weed pests down and to conserve
their soil and Watertand to build bet
ter and to keep informed on what is
new and practical. Some will re-
joice that they took time to keep
abreast of Improvements, while
others will find themselves so far be-
hind in the race that it will seem a
hopeless task to try to catch up.
The boys and girls of today, who
first fit themselves to meet the new
conditions, can be the leaders of to-
morrow. Those who first become fol-
lowers of the leaders will receive the
first and best benefits of the i'm
proved conditions. There are more
opportunities to make money now
than ever before, and as many
chances to make fortunes as ever.
but the opportunities present them
selves in new forms that require OBJ
servation and study.

paper. We have been reading about
what skidding typewriters we sell.
We have Just been over to the school
to see what was the matter with the
machines"
did you stop the skidding, my
lord?"
"They don't skid IL they are hand
led right. You have been using IN
derwoods for 10 or IL years-do
they skid for your"
Certainly not. If they did
would send them back to you"

it skids?"
II guess / do. go at 1t with all
my fingers and thumbs, and got the
work out of it."
1--WE get into schools in some
places where the teacher of typewrit-
ing is precision itself SO far as the
keyboard Is concerned, but cannot
even change the ribbon and put on
a new one; cannot repair a machine
If it gets out Of order; can only pour
oil into it and keep on working the
keyboard, There are places in the
machine where oil should not be
used, and when such places are oil
ed and then the dust gets in and
grinds and finally gets dry and hard,
1t is impossible for the machine to
respond as 1t should. l have been
in school houses this month where
the typewriters had not been cleaned
all summer, but stood with the oil
and dirt of last year drying on them.
Certainly those machines may be ex-
pected to stick and skid and give
trouble. think every one who
teaches typewriting should teach the
proper care of the machine"
Don't those who teach typewriting
know the mechanism so they can
clean and oil them properly?"
"It seems not. In most of the
schools we visit we find the same con-
dition. If you were teaching the use
of the bicycle you would not think of
starting the rider out without some
knowledge of how to clean and repair
it. 1t ought to be part of the
course to clean and adjust a type
writer.
They tell me you don't stop the
skidding, and when called for anti
skid adjustments you talk to them
about something else, and tell them
what high speed your machine has
and how visible the writing -
Say Trego; asked a gentleman
at the school If he had ever called me
to stop the skidding, and he said he
had never seen me before, but that
some other Underwood men had been
there and had sidestepped the sub
ject and had not fixed them. The
fact Of the matter is, some repair man
came along, and represented himself
to be an Underwood man because
they had all Underwoods. If they
don't take proper care of their ma
chimes of course there is trouble. If
they had any other kind there would
(still be trouble. They have put in
one Royal and Remington, and in
side of year they will be trying to
get rid of them because they give
them more trouble than the others.
UP at Idaho Falls they got to that
{point a year ago, and bought two
Royals and Remington, and now
they are trading them out to get rid
of them"
Excuse me, but | go to lunch at
1870, and am over DUE"
"How are your machines working?
Do they need any cleaning?"
"No, ! clean them before they get
dirty"
"Do they ever give you any
trouble?"

BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB WORK

The state and federal government
are conducting agricultural extern
sion work and particularly pushing
the organization of boys and girls
clubs. teaching them how to select
seed, how to prepare the soil, how
to plant and cultivate, when to do
1T. how to harvest, pack, can, store
pickles, preserve and all the parts
and things that enter into considera-
tion in the years work. 1t opens
up new world for the young folks,
and very useful avenue for their
energies. School Superintendent
Lulah Smith is pushing the work in
this county, and at the fair last week
she had so much to exhibit she did
not have room for it and had to
leave it out. An example of the in
terest taken in the work BY members
is shown in the following letter ad-
dressed to State Superintendent Pot
ter of the boys and girls clubs,
printed in the Boise Statesman:
Superintendent Potter of the boys
and girls club section of the state
university extension department an
nounced Friday that there are now
1900 members in the various clubs
of the state He said interest in the
work is increasing rapidly.
To show how the clubs are making
useful citizens of the boys and girls
who are in them, he exhibited a let
ter written to him by Eloise D. Atop
son, little Rupert girl, in which she
told him of the work she is doing.
The letter was as follows:
Preston, Ida, August 9, 1915.
Dear Mr.. Potter:
II received your letter Saturday
