Immigration BILL
SUPPORTERS LOSE
Senate Defeats Effort of Re.
Voting Democrats to Dis
place Revenue Measure.

The Senate today defeated the effort
of several revolving democrats to dis
place the revenue bill with the immi-
grafton bill and to keep the latter be-
fore the Senate until disposed of. The
vote was 80 to %. Shortly before the
vote was taken word reached the Cap
itol that President Wilson had deter
mined to veto the immigration bill If
it should be passed.
Five Of the revolving democrats who
voted yesterday to take up the fmmi-
grafton bill returned to their party
on this vote and opposed the motion.
They were Senators Beckham, Cham
berlain. Culberson, Lane and overman.
Five democrats, however, stood by the
immigration bill. They were Senators
Ashurst. Hardwick. Myers, Smith of
South Carolina and Vardaman. The
action today probably means the end
of the immigration bill for this session,
administration leaders said, although
it can be brought up again on a motion
after the revenue bill is disposed of
or during a morning hour.
The President today informed callers

SHERIFF 0USTED
BY HIGH COURT

Walsenburg, Colo-Sheriff Jeff
Farr, procurer of strike-breakers, pet
of coal operators, gunman and "king
of Huerfano county" for 16 years, has
been ousted from office by the state
supreme court because of illegal
election practices.
1t was proven that Farr's election
was made possible through the es-
tablishment Of voting booths in iso-
lated places and in camps controlled
by the coal companies. Farr and four
associate officers, who were also
ousted, were charged with fraud and
corruption 1t was shown that no one
could approach the booths in the
mining camps controlled by the Victor
Fuel Company and the Colorado Fuel
and Iron Company without permission
of the coal company officials. The
supreme court declared that in these
lowed to vote and legal voters were
denied. The court refused to consider
the vote of the closed camps and held
that Farr's opponent was elected be-
cause of pluralities he secured in the
camps. Practically every
polling place was in a building or on
land controlled by the operators.
Thus" said Supreme Court Justice
Scott, were the public districts and
the public election machinery turned
over to the absolute domination and
imperial control of private coal cor
porations."
The passing of Farr will bring lit
tie regret to trade unionists and other
citizens who made continued protest
against the tigerish ferocity of this
official during the recent miners
strike in southern Colorado.

ADOPT UNIoNIsTs' METHODS

Methods used by trade unionists to
promote their interests are often
adopted by men in other organizations
for their own good even when those
very men condemn their use by the
unionists, says the Minnesota Union
Advocate. For instance. the Pitts
burg Underwriters Life association
refuses to recognize any person as a
legitimate insurance solicitor who
does not continually work at the
trade The association has unani-
mously resolved to protect its jurisdic-
tion by excluding from field service
all temporary Insurance writer's. The
members of the association consider
this a proper and justifiable stand for
them to take, but when members of
labor organizations take it they in
fringe on the liberty of the individual
citizen" and Impair the sacred right
of free contract" The whole matter
appears to depend on whose OK Is
gored.

PANAMA CANAL MECHANICS
TAKE STRIKE VOTE

Panama.-Eight hundred mechan,
les, the entire force of the Panama
canal, will decide whether or not to
strike on account of a reduction in
wages.
Included among the mechanics are
the lock operators. If they ceased
work a suspension of navigation would
be threatened The reduction in
wages takes the form of charge OF
rent FOR quarters occupied by the
men. The wage scale on the canal
is higher than in the navy yards
of the United States, but is less than
the commercial rate. Acting Govern
or Harding is powerless because the
scale is fixed by law and the rent
charge by the president.
