Bread Has Too Much Water.

Washington, Sept Sin the
house of representatives while urg-
ing the passage of this bill which
would pemit the mixing of corn
-four and wheat -four, congressman
Rainey, of Illinois said
One reason for the opposition
Of the great commercial bakers to a
loaf of bread made out of mixed
aosr is this The loaf will Re an
honest leaf and it will be impossible
fer it to carry as much moisture as
Ia loaf made entirely out of wheat
flour. have in my possession a
amber OF clippings made from
milling papers, some Of them being
made from the Northwestern Mil
l-r, one of the principal organs of
the food trust, others being made
from the trade papers which reach
bakers
The advertisements state that the
various hours have great water
absorption, could absorb large
quantities of water can use more

Congressman Rainey said he pur-
chased FIVE ) cent loaves of bread
Of different brands at Washington
market Each weighed - ounces.
The next day they weighed y
ounces and the following day an
other ounce cf water had been alb
sorbed. He charged the large ele-
vators with mixing No. | wheat
with rejected and no grade wheat,
and cited statistics of Duluth ele-
vators to prove his point. In one
year these elevators received
Is, 000, 900 bushels of No. ] north

Judge Denies Free Speech.

Detroit, Sept. 8.-Five striking
union pattern makers have each
been sentenced to Is days in Jail
and 800 fine for contempt~of court
by Judge Van Tile.
An injunction was issued against
these workers several weeks ago
commanding them not to picket or
10 visit the homes of strikebreakers.
In the case of Business Agent
Crogstadt it was shown that he had
visited the home of strike breaker
and discussed the strike, after
which the latter declared the union
was right in its fight for better
working conditions. Krogstad was
Jailed and fined for this disobe-
dience CT the courts order In
sentencing him, Jud e Van Tile
said:
q want you to understand pro-
perty rights must &c respected and
that men cannot interfere with en-
ployes of this shop
Robert Schram, another striker,
was found guilty of standing on a
corner one block from the struck
plant. He was jailed and fined
when he told the court he would
continue to picket, as he was act
ing within his rights.
President Wilson of the Pattern
Makers League of North America
Is in the city aiding the strikers.
He said that the courts can send
every pattern maker in Detroit to
Jail but other pattern makers from
every city in the country would
take their places on the picket line.
The pattern makers executive
said:
They may send more of our
men to Jail. But we will continue
to send them here until they quit
sending them to Jail There is no
statute in the state of Michigan
that denies the right to picket
But your state supreme court has
said SO. II is not the function of a
court to legislate. If they who
made the constitution of this coun
try thought judges proper men to
legislate, they would not have pro-
vided for Legislators.
I'VE are not going to ask De-
troit trade unionists for one penny
of financial support We don t
need it. Our members pay high
dues. We have plenty of money
but we want organized workers to
give their moral support as an ar
gumeut to show why the law Of
the state of Michigan shoul say
that judges shall not issue injunc-
tions of this kind"

The ideal month for motor tip
is September, and the auto service
afforded by c. & B. Line Steamers
from Cleveland makes the delight
ful touring erritory adjacent to
Buffalo IN Western New YORK and
Southern Ontario particularly avail
able for the tour OF two days or
lorger.
The new $500 Auto Rate takes
youi car by steamer from Cleveland
to Buffalo and back for a two days
motor trip, this very low rate being
made for all cars less than l28

days in touring Niagra Falls, East
Aurora, Toronto or other attractive
points and return from Buffalo the
evening of the second day at 900,
reaching Cleveland 7:30 the follow

the latters attack on him In the senate

man: Il shall not undertake here to
make answer to your misrepresenta-
tons Of me, your willful, malicious,
false and unwarranted accusations and
insinuations they may well be left for
discussion at some other time But

great rank and file"
Mr.. Gompers added that the only in
ference from Senator Shcrmans at
tack was that 1t was not upon him
personally, but upon the policy, prin-
ciples and activity Of the federation
Senator Sherman is accused by Mr..
Gompers of having talked for political
effect He denied that he had ever at
tempted "and do not now attempt" 10
deliver the vote of any man or group
of men.
Il am thankful that l was not In
cluded either with the indianapolis
dynamiters' or with any others | i'm
agine that you ought to be thankful
that you were not indicted with bank
defaulters, trust spectators and other
buccaneers in the industrial and com
mercial field. Simply because You be
lieved in their innocence is no grounds
for your Indictment, no more for mine
when the indianapolis dynamiters' de
clared their innocence and | believed
them to be innocent"
Mr. Gompers referred to q call from
Mr.. Sherman "to answer like man"
Il accept your challenge says Mr..
Gompers, "and VIII meet you In any
public forum that you may designate,
whether In Washington or in the me
tropolis Of the state YOU represent (Chi-
cago), In order that the people may be
given a chance to Judge as to the jus
tice Of your attack"

Why Arbitration" Is Rejected
BY Men.

Railroad train service employees
demand an eight-hour day with
pay for overtime. The managers
demand arbitration and the workers
object, because
The railroads have refused 10
abide by former arbitration awardss
and have forced employees to spend
vast sums of money to compel en-
forcement of decisions
While the railroads are now de-
handing arbitration they have ex-
cluded from present negotiations
employees Of mary properties who
are denied voice because they are
not organized. Railroads arbi-
trate where employees are strong
and fight where they are weak "
say the brotherhoods.
The railroads have excluded
many other train service employees
from present negotiations.
Another reason why the employees
decline arbitration is because the
managers would include gains that
have been secured through years
Of fighting by the brotherEoods.
