Both Instantly Killed
When the authorities arrived, they
found the two young men lying in the
road. one with a gaping hole over his
right lung, the other with the entire
front Of his head blown away, death

The brothers had previously sent to
Boston for some liquor of which they
partook freely during the afternoon, and
on their return to Togus, on tint P.

house of Ralph, where they quarreled
considerably until the early part Of the

lived further up the road, went home to
get supper.
Had Further Words
According to the women, Ralph follow

house, where they again had words. and
finally Ralph struck Eugene In the face
and at about 10 minutes of started for
the Togus Home, where he worked
nights. Eugene picked up double bar

a heavy charge Of buck shot and stepped
out after him and a moment later the
women heard two shots, close together.
They both ran up the road and were
Mortified to find both brothers lying In

county attorney was not called. The

with profit as money crop. The
seed are selling this year in the rough
at $6 per hundred and yields have
been from to hundred pounds per
acre. Allowing $4.00 per acre for
seeding and gathering which is very
liberal allowance this leaves a clear
profit on land of from $40 to s44 per

The seed can be gathered about the
25th of May which gives ample time
to raise a good crop of corn or COW

clover stubble to turn under the soil
will become richer and richer from
year to year without any fertilizer eX-
cept phosphoric acid or perhaps
some lime.
We have corn growing on upland
this year following Crimson Glover
that will make 50 to 40 bushels per
acre.
From this same land was gathered

this beat an all cotton farm? Why
should we import clover seed from
Europe, paying high freight rates

Interstate Commerce Clause. TILL
man Assails Owners of Mills.

Washington, Aug. S.-The senate
late today passed the bill to prevent
interstate commerce in products Of
child labor by a vote OF 50 to II. The
measure, which already had passed
the house, was brought to a vote in
the senate on the insistence Of Presi-
dent Wilson after the Democratic
senate caucus once had decided to de-
fer it's consideration until next De-
cember.
Opposition to the measure had come
chiefly from Southern cotton mill
owners, and the group of Southern
Democrats VINO voted against it had
fought it in caucus and maintained
their opposition during the senate de-
bate on the ground that the regula-
tion proposed is unconstitutional and
would interfere with the rights of the
States. Eleven Democrats from the
South-Senators Swanson and Mar
tin, Virginia; Underwood, Alabama;
Vardaman, Mississippi1 James and
Beckham, Kentucky; Culberson and
Sheppard, Texas; Ransdell, Louisi-
ana; Robinson, Arkansas, and Shields,
nessee-Voted for it.
Senators Broussard, Louisiana;
Clarke, Arkansas; Gore and Owen.

were: Bankhead, Alabama; Bryan,
and Fletcher, Florida; Overman and
Simmons, North Carolina; Smith and
Tillman, South Carolina; Smith and
Hardwick, Georgia; Williams, Missis-
sippi (Democrats), and Oliver and
Penrose, Pennsylvania (Republicans},

In order to expedite consideration Of
the measure in conference senate con-
ferees were appointed immedi tely
after the final vote. The only amend
ment adopted would extend the bills
provisions to bar all products OF es-
tabIshments employing children from
interstate commerce The house
measure was directed only against
those on which child labor actually
had been employed.
Senator Borah did not offer the
amendment ne had drawn ATTACHING

sion.
Amendments to make the prohibi-
ton apply only to children under Il

AWFUL.

The Seattle Post Intelligencer views with indignation the demand of the longshoremen for 55c. an hour. And that Seattle paper makes no effort to conceal the view that frankly that is too much wages for any worker.
 Besides what gets the P-I seems to be that the strike threatened the well being of Seattle and freight was being forwarded by rail to Van- couver for re-shipment. After build- ing up a prosperous shipping, satu the Seattle organ, here are the long shoremen sending it away.
 It would appear that the Post h. telligencer could offer sound advice to Seattle Business interests for whom it writes by suggesting that they pay the wages and end the labor trouble.
 Moreover, if it were not vain to offer such a suggestion, the Post Intelligencer could advocate a gen eral strike 60 thnt the railroad men and others would refuse to handle freight being re-shipped to Vencouv- CT. In this way they could keep the freight in Seattle until the strike YVES over.
 However the strike is over and while these suggestion. might not have been acted upon, it is obvious that they arc always open to cdop- tion.

limited, but the benefits from that work in the shape of standard wages can only be maintained by the workingmen sticking together to maintain it. There is no other way.
 One can go down Front St. in Nome and get all the work one wants, but one can't go down Front St. and get wages. Lots of men come in here every year after rais- ing a few hundred dollars from COCK roach butchers and bakers and candlestick makers, the scrimped up savings of few men and women, and on that small capital hire men. They have no money to pay any such thing as wages, and they don't know how tc mine ground even Il they did. They make qu,te a splurge aad in the fall there are a undred or so wondering where they are going to get money enough tp get out On.
 Had those workers acted intelli- gently they would have joined the Union and there l1arncd everything that could be learned about those , whom they were so eager to work. They would know what would be paid or whether they would be paid at all, and in this great mass organization that would follow from the uEior.zGton Of sour dough ami chechaco miner alike better times for all would attend.
 These arc plain f2cts worth con- ciderat;or. The Industrial Worker takes the stand thct t.:e procG crity of this camp is wrapped ur in the wage worker. If he iC paid well and paid all he works in wcSe5, then Nome will havc not a trouble under the SUI. There is no getting anyone olsc but tho workers how ever to look after their own inter- ests. You cant expect the boss to do it, and the boss would be a fool if he did when the men wouldn't think about it themselves. But the workers by the very simple expedl- ent of joining the miners union acting together one for all and all for one, can cover the situation completely, and effectively, perma- nently and satisfactorily protect their own interests.
 There is therefore no reason what ever why the worker who would protect himself and get the benefit of the labor organization should fall to join the miners union if he would work in the mines for wages

THE NOME MINE WORKERS
 UNION.

Those men who come up yearly to work in this camp cannot do bet ter than join the miners union if it is their intention to work at mining for wages. In union there is strength and what has happened here every year ought to make a good number of workers take a tumble to themselves. They have found that after working hard all summer they were paid off at what the boss liked to pay them and often were not paid at all. They found that they got steady job .an right but there was no steady pay.
 The work in this camp is to be sure
