FARMERS UNIONS
BOTHER PLUTES

WAUSAU, Wis, Dec. 8.-Agents OF
the department of agriculture and Of
Minnesota university have been in
formed that they are expected to en-
courage cooperation among farmers
'only for certain purposes" reports
The Organized Farmer.
University agents are aroused over
the fact that the organized farmers
took cooperation so easily that they
have gone into many lines of co-opera-
ton which business and small retailers
wanted to retain for their own private
gain.
The county agents of the depart
ment Of agriculture have been ordered
not to hold any office or transact any
Of the business of any purchasing or
marketing association.
The university and department
agents have heard their masters voice
says The Organized Farmer, but their
efforts to- stem cooperation among
farmers will be futile.
''The farmers, after once being or
ganized, are recognizing their own
power and beginning to use it ire
spective of whether the university peo-
pie like it or not"

SEES COALITION Of
COLD STORAGE MEN .
To KEEP UP PRICE

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-The. exist
ence of an interstate com mbination of
cold storage houses to keep up food
prices was charged by Joseph Harti-
gan, commissioner of weights and
measures, who, as secretary of Mayor
Mitchelrs committee on food supply,
is investigating the cost of living to
effect relief.
"There is so-called storage trust"
Hartigan said. Its membership
comprises IS cold storage warehouses
in New York, New Jersey and Con-
necticut. It is believed that, to evade
the laws of these states, it is made
easy for the owners of goods in one
cold storage warehouse to hold goods
in one state until just before the time
expires for the goods to be released,
and then to move them to ware
house in another state and keep
them there as long as the law allows
in that state.
"Although the law IN each state
permits storage for only a limited
time, it is possible, through the al
legged trust, to keep goods in storage
three times that period. The laws re-
lating to cold storage houses are a
joke from a national standpoint. II
the federal government were to make
, one comprehensive law for all the
cold storage houses in the country
the evil would be abated.'

FOUR LARGE
UNIONS FORM
LAW COMM tees

-Four large unions have elected
committees to cooperate with the
labor members of the Minnesota
1917 legislature. The unions taking
this action are the carpenters, brick
layers, jitney drivers and longshore-
men.
The longshoremen's committee
consists of the following workers:

and William Paradise; brick!ayers,
H. M. Todd, Fred Garforth and S.
G. Nelson. secretary; jitney drivers,
O. E. Thompson, secretary, John An
drews and H. A. Love; carpenters
Henry Stevens, O. H. Tarun and
Abe Jappe.
These committees and others
which will be formed from time to
time, will keep in touch. with the
labor members of the legislature and
appeal to all senators and representa-
tives>; ON. .Gssira BILE, legislation and ex-

sentiment of every Duluth unionist..
The legislature will be responsive

from this section Of the state will
know that organized labor will be
watching their every vote on every
important labor measure.
Several bills of vital importance 10
union labor will be considered by the
members of the 1917 legislature.
State insurance to supplant the
present workmen's compensate ton
law, is one of the bills for which
work-real wcrl-will be needed.
The public service corporations.
and private corporations whose Of
fices are not very far from Duluth
will have their best lobbyists in st.

UNION LABOR
MEN ATTEND
BARACA CLUB

Lawmakers went on record at the
First Methodist church Tuesday night
for changes in the workmen's COM
pensation law, equal suffrage, and
expressed opposition to the constabu-
larry bill. A large number Of union
labor men attending the meeting.
On invitation from the Baraca club
of the church Senator Richard Jones,
Representative-elec Ernest G. Strand
Of Two Harbors, Representative Will
liam A. Hicken and Representative
William l.. Bernard were present.
Senator Jones advocated system of
state insurance for workmen based on
the plan now on the Ohio statute
books. He explained that the Ohio law
authorizes the creation Of a fund by
employers who contribute in proper
ton to the hazards of their respective
plants. From this fund claims for in
jury to workmen are paid. Senator
Jones said workmen and manufacture
ers in Ohio are enthusiastic over the
results of the compensation law and
he advocated the adoption Of such a
measure in Minnesota. Under the
present law in Minnesota he declared,
injured workmen accept, at times. less
than the value of their claim because
of representations made by insurance
companies.
Senator Jones also stated he would
support any legislation looking to-
ward a more equitable distribution of
taxes on gross earnings. He declared
that Minnesotais the only state which
appropriates to general state use all
! gross earnings taxes without regard
for municipalities which pay much
money to protect corporations subject
to tax.
Representative william L. Bernard
declared he was to be an earnest
worker at the coming session of the
legislature for woman suffrage. Mr.
Bernard explained that he rs in favor
of chance in the wording of the
compensation act to give relief which
it was intended workmen should have
under the law, but which they do no.

SEES WILSON GET
TA|RD.::TEl||M' VOTE

NEW YORK., Dec. 7.-President
Wilson will be elected to serve a third
term, in the opinion Of Richard
Croker, one time boss Of Tammany
Hall, now resident. of Ireland, here on
a brief visit
''He will serve a. third term and
with the support of Republicans and
all persons interested in good govern
ment," said Croker.
1T is Imperative that Tammany
Hall recruit new blood-men Of the
younger generation interested in poll
TICS" Croker said.
"Who are they?" he was asked.
'Well, when was head of the or
ganization the Irish-American element
was the dominant factor. Today am
told the Irish have moved uptown. In
their places have come the Jew and
Italian. The latter are good citizens.
But neither, speaking politically, are
deve ted to th:3 fnterestaSok one or the
other. party. They rosanterested in
social justice and the social welfare
more than they are in political cues
tions.
"As consequence they don't vote
blindly. All of which means that it's
harder to be boss of Tammany Hall
today than it was when I, as news
papers said, dominated affairs q:
Fourteenth street."

CHAMBERLAIN WILL.
ASK CONSCR|PT ton

WASHINGTON, Dec. S. The
Chamberlain bill, providing universal
military service; will be pushed at
this session of congress. the author
of the bill declared Friday. Senator
Chamberlain said sentiment in favor
of universal training was growing
steadily.
"Changes will have to be made in
my bill, which is still in committee,
but 1 think 1t has a good working
basis" said the Oregon senator.
IF we don't have some legislation
of this kind, no one knows what will
happen. The experience the country
has had with the mobilization of the
National guard on the border, and
the difficulty in getting new men in
either the guard or the regulars,
proves something must be done to
provide an adequate force of trained
men for national Defense
The senator is also considering a
joint resolution providing for a con-
stitutional amendment authorizing
direct election of the president and
vice president. This would abolish
the electoral college system.

SELL OUT TO j. S.

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-Alfred P.
Thorn indicated to the Newlands COM
mittee a number of railroads might
be willing to sell to the government
at g. flair value" This allusion to
government ownership came when
Representative Thetus Sims asked.
SfWhat would be the result If the
government offered a fair value for
the railroads?"
''The majority Of railway presidents
do not favor government ownership.
But fair value-well, If you offered
a. fair value you'd make more deals
than you now believe you would"
answered Thorn.
Representative Sims said govern
ment ownership would solve the rail-
road problem.

Judge Hilton is an able lawyer

nationwide fame for his defense of
workers in Colorado.
In appearance he is mild and looks
like student. His face is scanned
and marred as if he had taken the
troubles of the working class upon
his shoulders and the load was too
heavy to bear.
Despite his appearance of age, the
Judge is quick and nervous in his

action bespeaks vitality and energy.

Sheriff Meining of st. Louis county,
deputized this private army Of the
Trust and gave it full power to deny
constitutional rights of speech and

These so-called guards left COM

District Attorney Greene saw that

Municipal Judge Carey during the

towns are the one bright spot.
Headed by Victor Power and Mike
