Rome, Nov. 20.-Rigid economy
throughout the world in the consum j.
ton of food, in view of the deficient
crops and the extraordinary require.
ments of the European armies, is urg
ed by the International Institute OF
Agriculture, which has made the most
extensive report it has isued since the
war began.
The institute says all nations arc
confronted with grave situation
II is estimated that at least 1900,
100000 bushels of wheat will be con
sumed in the year ending July 81
1917, and at the end of this period the
worlds surplus supplies of wheat will
have decreased to 46,000 900 bushels.

AvOW HOSTILITY
TO INJUNCTION

Organized labor forces assembled at
the convention Of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor at Baltimore on Mon
day, unanimously adopted resolution
urging organized labor everywhere to
make the injunction question "the par
amount issue in all of their future po-
litical activities. 2" The resolution is
said to have been brought forth by the
recent action of the railroads in secur-
ing inlunctions against the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen. preventing
them from going on strike pending
the settlement of the constitutionality
of the Adamson eight hour law.
A more radical step was taken later
when the convention unanimously
adopted recommendation "that any
injunction dealing with the relationship
of employer and employe, and based
on the dictum thai labor is property
be disregarded, let the consequences
be what they may.

FARMERS SHORT COURSE
USEFUL AND ENTERTAINING

The Farmers Short Course at Round
Butte was decided success. A large
enrolment of ladies were present every
day and were keenly interested in the
domestic science demonstrations by
Miss Rowe and the chicken lectures by
Mr.. Abbey.
DR.. Hartman, state live stock spec
ialist Mr.. Hillman, state dairy expert,
and County Agriculturist J.. r. Camp
bell discussed all the different phases
of the live stock industry. Much inter-
est was shown in the butchering dem
onstration on Thursday afternoon.
Two large porkers were properly
dressed and later cut up after the most
approved methods.
Mr.. Perce, federal cheese expert,
gave some very interesting talks on the
cheese industry and in all probability
the not distant future will see this very
important and profitable industry -four
ishing in this vicinity.
Messrs. Campbell and Hillman in
duced our farmers to form several Com
munity Bull associations. The idea is
to buy several Shorthorn bulls of the
very best breeding to improve and
breed up the herds of the community.
Our people are to be commended on the
progressive course taken thus far. We
have every reason to expect very sat-
isfactory results. The school exhibit
was very much appreciated by our
patrons. We are now planning another
such exhibit to be held sometime next
May. The very high class of the ex-
hibits displayed at the community fair
was genuine surprise to all visitors
as we'll as to the judges. Plans are
already being made for another such

ago in some localities and are gradually
spreading them" said Mr.. Clark to-
night.
"There is no fiat increase to all en-
ployes. Some of the lesser paid en-
ployes on the coast were the first tc
be affected.
~ cannot say when the salaries in
st. Paul or any other point will be In.
creased, but it is the policy Of tn.
company to increase salaries, gradu.
ally when practical"
Increased earnings Of the company
coupled with the increased cost Of liv-
ing, was given as the reason for the
action of the company.

ENGINEER C0vELL REPORTS
ON ROMAN WATER SYSTEM

Engineer Earl D. Covell made his re-
port to the town council last Monday
night on the survey of the proposed
water system for Roman. From the
survey it is Shown that the intake of
the pipe line will be on Crow creek
about mile above the A. j. Brewer
farm and that the line will be approx
imately four miles long with a fall of
over 300 feet from that point to Roman.
The town council will file their ap-
plication for water right with Su-
perintendent Grove of the reclamation
service at St. Ignatius early next week,
the mayor and councilmen and some
other Romantics going to St. 1gnatius
for that purpose. After its approval
by Mr.. Grove, the application will be
forwarded to Washington and it is be-
ieved the permit will be granted with
out delay.
Estimates of the cost of construction
will be prepared in the near future and
further steps taken to insure an up-tc-
date water system for Roman next

Washington, Nov. 2O.-Armed with
President Wilson's complete approval
Of his course, Secretary Lane will re.
turn to Atlantic City today, deter
mined to bring the sessions of the
American Mexican joint commission to
an early conclusion.
He still is hopeful an agreement aa
to the border situation can be reached,
but it was clearly indicated in official
circles that the Joint conference is
entering on its final phase, agreement
or no agreement
Army officials believe the American
eXpeditonary force soon will be NOV
ing toward the border regardless Of
the turn events may take at Atlantic
City. In it's present position. many
officers hold the expedition would be-
of no strategic value should general
hostilties break out.
If the commission dissolves, 1t Ia
believed there will remain no reason
for keeping the expedition where 1t is.

DAMAGES FIXED
BY COMMISSION

The commission appointed by Judge
Duncan in the district court some three
weeks ago to fix the damages in the
condemnation proceedings brought by
the Northern Pacific railway against
Messrs. Howard. Jones, Larson, Lind
say, West and Mrs. Jensen, for right
of way for their line thrhugh their
places, completed its labor last Satur-
day night and filed its report with
Judge Duncan on Monday. The COM
mission was composed of John N.
Bailey and J. A. McGeorge of Roman,
and Elmer Hughes of Missoula.
In the Howard case the company Of
fered him $3.50 for right Of way across
his forty acre place. The commissio,
allowed him $l.065.
M. zones also owns forty and th<
company offered him $3.50. The com.
mission gave him 81 ,015.
For passing through Mr.. Larson s
eighty the railroad offered $500. The
commission raised this to STATS.
The company thought it would be
worth $500 to them to get through
Mrs. Jensen's forty, but the commits
sion considered $1,225 about the right
price.
Lindsay was awarded $3,350 for
right of way across his 12O acres,
whereas the company only wanted to
pay around $500. In this case the road

RAIL unions and
A.F.0FL.|N PACT

Washington, Nov. 20.-A significant
and far reaching alliance was con-
tracted here between the railroad de-
partment of the American Federation
Of Labor and the four train service
brotherhoods, whose nationwide strike
threat last August necessitated the
passage of the now disputed Adamson
wage law.
This aff1 liation joins in a common
cause approximately 100000 railroad
workers, a little less than half the to-
tai number of all those who are em-
ployed in the railroad industry
throughout the country.
Object is Two-FoId.
Although no definite statement is
obtainable, no doubt is entertained IN
Washington that the object of the
alliance is two-fold, to strengthen the
brotherhoods' demand for an eight
hour basic day and to aid in a move
ment Of the other organized railway
workers for the same concessions
Officials at the capital regard this
new alliance as exceedingly ominOus
in the light Of the controversy over
the Adamson law, which, it is feared
in some quarters, may again bring the
country face to face with a national
transportation strike.
Brotherhoods Are Active.
The formation of the Brotherhood
Federation alliance was not the only
salient happening in the railroad labor
situation. In fact. things began to
happen Immediately after the arrival

campaign in the coming session OF

four chiefs would address the convea
ton of the American Federation of La

COLUMBUS, N. NJ, March 21-Wire communications between the United States and General Pershing's punitive expedition in northern Chihuahua was at standstill tonight. it was announced officially from military headquarters here. It was asserted that the army wireless station at Casas Grandes failed shortly before 6 o'clock, the only remaining line of communication into Mexico being an army field telegraph wire, which had been practically use less for several days because it has been cut in a number of places between Columbus and it's terminus 30 miles south of the border
 If the break in the wireless is not re- paired shortly it was said it will be necessary to depend on mounted cour- iers to carry dispatches.
 Major w. R. Sample commandant here, announced that it was discovered today that the field telegraph line had been cut in 2S places, miles of wire being carried away in one place. He pointed out, however, that it was possi- ble, since larger part of the wire was strung along the ground at the side of the roadway, that some of the breaks (COntinued on Page Three)
