New: York Editor Declares Gov
ernments that Allow Private
Armies, Failures.

NEW YORK. Feb. 12.-In a lead
ing editorial on the shooting of New
Jersey strikers, the Morning World
asks: How much longer are state
governments in this country going to
tolerate private war in industrial dis
putes? How much longer are they
going to tolerate the private employ
ment OF hired gunner to deal with
labor troubles? 2"
The editor continues:
Their Crime.
The New Jersey strikers were ap-
parently not armed; they were; not
rlotinE and they were not on the
property of their former employers,
The worst ofrense they had. committed
was to flag a train supposed to carry
strike breakers and then stand aside
on being warned to do 50. {,
For this offense they were attack
ed by a private army of detectives and
deputies, and tWo-score or more OF
men were shot down, some Of them
receiving fatal wounds. =, At one OF
the plants the statement is made that
II there has been any violence it is
PROBABLY due to business depression
and the consequent unemployment OF
workers. What this means we dc
not pretend to know, but we know
that there Is more anarchy behind /,
than there is behind all the anarchis,
societies of the country.
Government r. Failure,
"Government is a failure in a state
where this can happen-in a state
which permits an industrial quarrel
10 reach the stage of bloodshed; in a
state which permits private CORPORA
lions to arm detectives to do the DO
lice work that the state itself was
created to do; in state which mani
tests no official concern over a pri-
vate war until it is time to count the
dead and wounded.
This mighty poor time for en-
,ployers to shoot down strikers, what
ever may be the right or the wrong
OF the original controversy. It is a
mighty poor time for states to sur
render their police power sand leave
the protection of property to private
gunner. New Jersey has seen the
shameful effects Of anarchy in Colo
rado' Has she no concern for her
own honor and reDutatiOn ?r

American Federation Of Labor
Gains Victory in Action Of
Congress- i: =: :v>- =.

WASHINGTON, Febs12-The. house
of Representatives has unanimously
voted against all "stop-watch" sys-
tens, and so-called deficiency" engi-
neers have been given their hardest
blow in their efforts to secure govern
'ment Endorsement of. this. latest fad.
The defeat of: these systems was
secured when Representative Deitrick
offered this amendment to the pend
ing army appropriation bill:
The Bill.
provided, That no part of the ap-
Preparations made in this bill shall
be: available for the salary or pay
OF any officer, manager, superintend-
ent, foreman, or other person having
charge of the work of any employe
of the United States government while
making or causing to be made with
a stop watch or other time-measuring
device, 4 time study of any Job of
any such employe between the start
ing and the completion thereof, or of
the movements of any such employe
while engaged upon such work; nor
shall any@part of the appropriations
made in this bill be available to pay
any premium or bonus or cash reward
to any employee in addition to his reg
ular wages, except for suggestions re-
sulting in improvements or economy
in the operation of. any government
plant; and no claim for services per-
formed by any person while violating
this proviso shall be allowed"
Raises Point of Order.
A point Of order was raised on the
legality of this procedure, but Repre-
sentative Buchanan, a member Of the
labor group, was prepared to combat
this expected move, and cited numer-
GUS precedents in support Of the
amendment. The objection was then
withdrawn and the house adopted the
amendment by unanimous vote. It
Is believed the senateswiu. retain this
amendment in the, appropriation bill,
thus making it impossible for these
systems to be used in. government

This action by the. house is q VIC
tory for the, American Federation of

so-called "effficiency," despite the
adherence to : Tie system of certain

ImputatiOns at Colorado Strike
Hearing Are Resented.
WITNESS DECLARES INFtRENCE UNJUST
Right to Answer Questions in Own
Way Reluctantly Admitted by
Industrial Investigators.

Washington, d. C. = Point-blank
questions again were fired by Chair
man Walsh, of the Industrial Relations
commission, which is investigating the
Colorado coal strike, at John d. Rock
efeller, Jr., who openly resented many
of them on the ground that they car
ried imputations that were unjust and
improper.
Wordy clashes between the chairman
and Mr.. Rockefeller were frequent.
Previous to the examination, the
commission held an executive session
to consider "round robin" from the
other members of the commission to
Chairman Walsh, which called for
more moderate treatment of witnesses
Some of the questions to which Mr..
Rockefeller objected, because he said
they were unjustly designed, were:
"Do you undertake to coerce officers
of the law?"
"Did your company cheat the Goa
miners in weights?"
care you acquainted with the de
tails of the Ludlow massacre?"
Ibid you learn that there was lit

"Do you know that this trool

tendents and clerical force) fired int
the tents of the women and children o
Ludlow, and that they looted the dea
and set fire to the tents of the people?'
'Do you not fell a moral RESPONSE
bility for the Ludlow massacre?"
Mr.. Rockefeller answered each o
the questions, but insisted on doing s
in his own way, declaring they carrie
improper imputations which he repudi
ated.
Heated exchanges followed, MI

Eruption of Mount LasSen IeTOfaeS
Residents of Hat Creek Valley, Cal.

Redding, Cal.-Lassen Peak poured
out another,large eruption of ink-black
smoke Sunday night, it was reported
by returning automobile parties late
Monday, who said that a rift in the
rain clouds when they were at Viola
had shown pillows of smoke ascending
to considerable height.
The volcanic avalanche from the
crater of the peak was diverted in its
ruinous rush into old lava beds and the
lower part of the fertile Hat Creek
valley was temporarily saved from the
threatening flood. In spite of the hull
in Lassen's activity, a feeling of ter
ror prevailed throughout the danger
zone and more than 100 refugees re-
fused to return to their homes
Ranchers took advantage of the
mountains somnolence to return to
their lands and drive their stock off to

ITALIAN CHASSfURS DRIVE OUT PATROL
Thirty Thousand Italian Residents Are
Detained and Fate of 600 Who
Left Trieste Is Unknown.

Rome, via Paris-C ontemporaneous-
iy with the issuance of a general mo-
Utilization order, the Italian govern
ment Sunday night officially announced
that it had declared war against Aus
tria-Hungary.
The first skirmish of the Italo-Aus-
trian war occurred between Italian and
Austrian troops at Forcellini di Mon
tozzo, in the pass between Point di
Legno and Pejo.
An Austrian patrol crossed the from
tier, but was attacked by Italian AL
pine Chasseurs and driven back over
the border.
Baron Won Macchio, the Autro-Hun-
garian ambassador to Italy, received
his passports at 3 80 o'clock.
The Italian ambassador at Vienna,
Baron Avarna, has been recalled
The report reaching Rome that the
German and Austrian governments
have prevented 10000 Italians from
leaving thesterritory of those countries
has created a profound impression
here.
The Giornale d'Italia declines to be-
lieve the truth of this report, not only
because this would be opposed to the
rights of nations, but for the reason
that the Italian government not only
permitted the departure of Austrian
and Germans from Italian soil, but
protected these nationals.
From the Austrian side of the from
tier, news reaches Udine that the Ital-
ian residents are actually being hunt
ed, that the fate of 900 who left
Trieste, hoping to reach Italy is un-
known and that the greatest anxiety
for their safety is felt.
At Rovigno, in Istria, 62 Italian
citizens have been arrested. These
include the mayor, Signor d'Avanzo
and the secrearty of the municipality
All Italian citizens residing near tn
Notifications of Polo have been take
into custody by the police and at Cor
mons, on the frontier, 1000 Italians
for the most part women and children
have been concentrated and prevente
from leaving the territory.
A Verona dispatch says that Mari
Weber, of Trieste, who, notwithstanc
ing his German name, was an arden
Italian, enlisted in the French arm
when the war began. He was take
prisoner by the Germans and when
was learned that he had resided
Trieste he was handed over to the Au;

Mills Buying Wool.

The Eastern Oregon wool market is
still inactive. A number of buyers are
out, but they are making no deter
mined effort to procure wool, and the
growers seem content to await the
regular sales days before offering their
clips. The rain and cold weather has
delayed shearing for over week and
some of the scheduled public sales will
be postponed until later date.
In western Idaho, a little business
has been done on the basis of 20 to rs
cents in the grease, the secured cost
being estimated at about IS to 81
cents.
Wool purchases in Utah to date are
estimated at over 5,00O,0 900 pounds
The recent buying has been on the
basis of 20 to % cents for fine and 2;
to 25 cents for medium, the secured
basis being 60 cents and upward fol

Dealers have offered 25 cents freely il
