Important Ruling Made by the United
States Supreme Court

The United States supreme court has
construed the Washington state work
mems compensation law as aholishing all
damage actions in the courts by work
men in the cmploymcuts covered by the
law, whether against employees or against
third persons.

an employe of brewery, Mt Seattle,
alongside the railroads tracks.
In the district court it was held that
the compensation law abolished all ae-

Make Change in Beet Contracts

Fort Lupton Local No. e+9 of the State
Farmers Union has decided to make
hange in the manner of signing contracts

to pledge all members not to contract
with foreign laborers. principally laps

and not more than $50 an acre when on
u cash basis. The members also agreed
to use their influence with all other
farmers in the district to try to have
them adopt the same rules regarding for
eign labor in the beet fields.
There was some discussion of doing
away entirely with foreign labor. but it
was thought that the time was not sui
ficient in which to make contracts with
all-American laborers this season, tho as
little foreign labor as possible viii b.
