tice Hughes wrote the opinion.
I'm that decision" wrote Mr.. Gompers,
Justice Hughes took the position that
the injunction process applies to personal
relations. Justice Hughes made more
definite his Endorsement of the theory
that injunctions apply to personal re-
lations. Mr.. Hughes has taken an un-
equivocal position. He indorses the abuse
of the writ of injunction against which
wage earners have vigorously protested,
and which they have tried to correct by
remedial legislation in order that they
might enjoy the rights and opportunities
of free citizens.

LAW VIOLATED BY STRIKING

Denver, Col.-With malice afore-
thought Journeymen Tailors' union No.
2O4 violated state law which prohibits
workers from striking before 80 days
notice to the state industrial commission
Several months ago the tailors secured
an agreement with the Marx Tailoring
company after weeks of strike and ne
gotiation with the commission. Both the
law and the commission were denounced
by these unionists at that time AT the
first opportunity the company violated
the agreement and the tailors suspended
work without notifying the state officials.
A few hours after the strike was called
the company assured the union it would
abide by the agreement
When the members of the state indus
trial commission heard of this disregard
for law they were properly appalled, and
notified officers of the Journeymen Tai
lors' union to appear before them forth
with. The workers were liable to heavy
fines, but as Colorado unionists are
awakening to what this mo strike law
means, it was evidently deemed best to
go slow in the matter of fines. SO the
penalty was waived, but not before the
state officials impressed the unionists
with the enormity of their offense in
quitting work in defiance of statute duly
enacted.
During this sermon one of the union
lists was discovered winking in an ir
reverent manner.

TO FIGHT NON-UNION SHOP.

Boston.-At the semi-annual conven-

place this trade on non-union basis.
Three large firms in Worcester have de-
clared for nonunionism-which they
term open shop" and the plumbers and

Backed BY Harmon.

McGhee was the nominee two years
ago, and this year was backed by former
Governor Judson Harmon, who made an
appeal to the state Democracy to re-
nominate him.
The primary was not well attended
and the total vote, it is expected, will
be disappointment to supporters OF. the
direct nominating system, but a comfort
to its enemies
At times during the day the clouds
spilled rain The farmers, according to
reports, were more interested in saving
their crops from the drought than in the
candidates, although they cast vote
which is on the average larger than in
the city districts
Through many points in the state the
interest was confined entirely to the
semi-professonal workers and all efforts
to get the great body of the voters to
come to the polls were futile. The Her
rick organization had the most workers
at the polls though in the high humidity
they did not exert themselves with any
degree of alacrity. At Daugherty's head
quarters, on the basis of the most mea-
ger information, the hope of victory is
based on very light vote.
Ildu 1Ot lne saloons Deen closed tnere
are thousands of voters who would new
er have known that primary election
was in progress. The day was exceed
ingly quiet. The Secretary of State had
his office open for disposition of ques-
tions, but few were propounded In
two counties there was a difference of
opinion on the right of national guards
men attached to Camp Willis to vote.
In one registration city soldier did not
change his address and the officials
wanted to know whether a militiaman
is subject to the same requirements as
an ordinary voter. Of course the state
official advised them that the laws are
not discriminatory. Another question
was whether voter who failed to make
a cross mark before name he had writ
ten in lost his vote. The office held the
cross is absolutely necessary.

stance, there are the quaint bonnets
which are being displayed at the mo-

the new faille suits, made with a
rather close fitting coat, flaring
widely at the lower edge, combined
with the most modern of old-fash-

THE GRAIN TRADE

(By r. d. Jarboe, chief grain in
spector.)
A gradual upward tendency has
been noted in grain quotations dur
ing the past month. The movement
has been heavy for all sections. re-
sulting in blockades at nearly all sea
ports.
The Canadian crop, which was a
very heavy one, has moved with great
rapidity, 1S7726,SG bushels of
wheat reaching Winnipeg from Sep
| TEN Der | to December l. The Gle
vators west of Winnipeg rett.nal
only 44,530,0 600 bushels on the latter
date. James A. Patten, who per-
ated on the bull side of the market
early in the season, is reported 10
have sold out a big line of long stuff
and Joined the bears, only to again
abandon his position and take up the
bull side of the controversy.
Mills at Tacoma and Seattle are
running to about two-thirds capacity.
The Tacoma mills are turning "Ht
$4,000 barrels of flour each week
and those in Seattle 10000 barrels.
This requires about 275, 600 bushels
of wheat weekly, or / 100000 BUSH
els monthly Should this acti7ity
continue until another crop is har-
vested and the mills throughout the
state and at Portland operate on ,
same scale, not very considerable
portion of the wheat remaining will
be available for export as wheat.
Charters are remaining high and
scarce. However, if the canal is
opened soon it is thought the sitna-
ton will be somewhat relieved. A
cargo of barley containing 3ff9 ions
or over 100000 bushels, was sent
from Tacoma to Europe last week.
Shinments of wheat from the United
States since July l to Octobar 80 TO-
tailed 147,O64,0OO bushels against
96,O45.OO0 last year. Canada, for
the same period, shipped 1874
600 bushels against 41,217000 the
preceding year. Notwithstanding
the heavy shipments as indicated,
only a normal supply of breadst ifs
ere on hand in importing counties
Great Britain received S7,2OO,OOO
bushels against 1OO,956,OOo, last
year and France 2S,4OO,OOO against

time wear, the dark blue serge jump
en- frock combined with an under
blouse of crepe de chine, Georgette,
or black satin is most satisfactory.
The fact that the underblouse may
be changed, and the frock so varied,
makes its appeal to women who like
a change now and then, but who can
not afford a great number of frocks
Satin or taffeta blouses or jump
contracting material are still being
worn for afternoons and more dressy
occasions, combined with skirts of
taffeta, faille or satin.

30,664,000 last year. However, flour
shipments have been heavier this
year than last and the excess in all
probability will make up for the loss
in wheat receipts.
Taking everything into considera-
ton, the present market conditions
might be said to contain more bullish
features than at any previous time
since harvest, and while no sensa-
tional advances are expected, the
feeling seems to be that every bushel
OF American wheat will be needed
and that the market will hold steady
with an upward tendency.

did some seasons back. From belt
to hem in back, the skirt was stiff
ened with haircloth, causing the full
ness to fall in several outstanding
folds. At the involuntary upward
and downward glance she induced,
one expected to see a pair of ex-
tremely high French heels on silver
buckled slippers or a high-crowned

AS the small person continued on

the skirt swung in true, noop-skirt

was quite fascinating.

difficulties, for powder and shell assert their prerogative of preference and the holiday season will bring no less ening of the gun pressure on any part of the front. Despite the complex problems connected with the task. the organization behind the British front makes it pOssibl for letters and parcels to reach the men in the front line trenches forty eight hours after their posting in London. One reason for this is that the mail is being handled and distributed by "Tommies'' who for merly were postal employees.
 The Canadians received the bulk of their mail last week. most of the sol diers obeying with childish simplicity instructions not to open the parcels until Christmas. The mail for the Australian troops necessarily was post ed six or seven weeks ago. and natur- ally there were many casualties in that period, so that the authorities are con- fronted with q number of parcels which never will reach their intended owners Some idea of the army postal prob lems may be gained from the fact that normally the British army sends l,lo0,O0O letters and postcards and H. 0o0 parcels daily. This number is being doubled and trebled during the Christmas rush. Another interesting fact is that soldiers receive an average of four letters a week and write one.
 The packages being sent from the front contain all manner of souvenirs from the battlefields and trenches. Letters and parcels for the men on the very front line are sent to them with their rations. The favorite Christmas card that the "Tommies" are sending home is one on which low ing notices are woven with vari-c ored silk threads.

Forty nine per cent of the stock will be avail able for public subscription and that which is not subscribed will be taken by the government
 The ships built or bought will be available to lease or charter by private interests but may be operated by the government should private concerns fail to take them. The intent of the law aside from being to restore ships for American commerce removed by the war, is to open up trade routes by which pirate capital does not consider vet profitable enough for it to enter.
