Des Moines, July Immigration OF
laborers into this country from foreign
lands Is again on the increase, accord
ing to reports received at the office OF
the state bureau of labor. This fell off
to a marked degree after the outbreaK
of the European war and it is only IN
recent months that laborers again be-
gan coming into this country in con-
siderable numbers.
In March of this year there was an
increase of 1872 per cent in immigra-,

March, 1915. There was decrease III

There has been noticeable immi-

total number coming to the United

High Wages on Farms.
Iowa farmers are now offering from
$50 to $40 per month for farm help the
state free employment bureau says or
for work by the day wage OF ~ per
cay Farm help is scarce and the state
free employment bureau is unable to
meet the demands it now has for this
class Of help.
Labor generally in Iowa seems to be
well employed altho wages for some OF
the common labor is no higher than 1t
has been. Wood workers are in de-
mand the employment bureau declares.
There was a. per cent increase in
the price of food in the period from
March, 1915, to March, 1916, the gov
|iernment figures show. The state labor
department says this increase is felt
more by the laboring classes than any

however, much can be produced at
home where gardens are maintained
and where some fruit is grown. In
FIA xstoSns and cities where good gar

Sioux City, July 1.--Iowa.s statute
providing penitentiary sentences for

was held invalid Thursday by the SUI

cision of4Judge John w. Anderson. OF
the Woodbury. county district court, in
the case Of ]. F. Davey, a Sioux City
druggist.
Davey had been ordered confined for
q year in prison after a third convic-
ton Of contempt Of a liquor Injunction.
He appealed from the judgment.
The higher courts rulinfg in the
Davey case means that the Sioux City
Judges, who were the first to exercise
the new statute, can 10 longer SEN

the judges said that all Injunction vio-

Nuisance and contsmpet Differentiated.
In this case Of Davey the supreme
court declared the evidence was not
sufficient to establish contempt. 1t was
claimed in the trial that Davey was
responsible for acts Of persons IN the
drug store when he was not present.
The high court declares that this
might be true in an Injunction to abate
a nuisance, but we think such a RUE
should not apply in a proceeding TOT
contempt which, tho strictly speaking
not a criminal proceeding. yet fne
and imprisonment may be imposed for
a violation of the decree"
AItfro a copy Of the supreme courts
ruling in the case has not yet been
received it is declared by attorneys IN
the case that it is very probable the
court knocked out the law on the
ground that Davey was deprived OF his
constitutional right of trial by jury.
