OMPULSoRY legislative enthus-
lasts received a shock when the
interstate commerce committee
of Tho Initial Sfntns snnnfa 70.

OF the United States senate re-
fused to favorably report the Newlands
bill which provided for compulsory de-
lay of strikes pending an investigation.
The drastic provision stipulated That
pending the efforts of the board of med
iation and conciliation to settle the con-
trovcrsy thru mediation or conciliation,
or, where those means have failed, pend
ing the investigation and publication OF
the report of the board of inquiry and
for thirty days thereafter, IL shall be
unlawful for tho employees to declare or
cause or practice n strike, or for the
employer to declare or cause or practice
n lockout"
This section was defeated by n vote
of seven TO three.
II will be recalled that when Prcsi-
dent Wilson delivered his special mes
sage TO congress on tho impending rail-
way strike he recommended legislative
cight-hour day for the train service
brothcrhoods, and in addition urged that
legislation be enacted making il illegal
for transportation employees to cease
work until after the government had
made an investigation of tho causes of
the controversy. II will be likewise re-
called that congress did pass the legis-
lativc eight hour day, familiarly known
as the Adamson law, but the rccommcn-

OF this legislative nrsrory it was at least
reasonable to suppose that the United
States senate would refuse to pass any
legislation which would impose involun-
tary servitude on any other class of
citizens.
The bills for the repeal of the indus
trial commission law and amending the
workmen's compensation law to provide
administrative officers for the latter act
have been introduced in the house OF
representatives and the senate. Hear
ings upon these measures have been re-
quested. The vital questions involved
in the industrial commission law have
never been given the consideration to
which they are entitled 1t is the pur-
pose of organized labor in this state to
endeavor to give every interested indi-
vidual favoring involuntary servitude to
present arguments TO substantiate hs
position. Likewise the labor movement
seeks similar opportunity to present
its arguments why this infamous stat
ute hould be wiped off the statute books.
Eminent attorneys have been engaged to
present constitutional reasons why the
law is in contravention to the federai
organic law as well as the organic law
of the state.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

About 1870 Monday afternoon the
barn at H. Fl. Garnger's place, a few
miles south of Oroville, together with
some 20 tons of hay stacked near the
building, was entirely consumed by
IRE The cause of the fire is unknown.
Mr.. Granger is of the opinion that the
hre was the work of an incendiarv
out others are inclined to the belief
that some workman was careless with
the use OF matches. The barn is on the
west side of the county road. not far
from the residence, and when fire was
discovered the flames seemed to he
between the hay stack and the barn.
Mr. Granger and his employees were
aDle to remove the horses from the
barn and the harness was also saved
but the building and hay were DESTROY
ed The loss amounts to about 81 600
with no insurance. The loss falls heav,
ny upon Mr.. Granger, who will feel if
severely as he has had a number of
reverses since locating on the place
some years ago.

ket, was named on the Council az the
representative for Okanogan county,
and although he has much to attend to
On his ranch he feels that what service
he can perform for the county at the
present time is of more importance
than personal interests, and so has
accepted the responsibility and will
exert every effort to carry on the work
required of him. The instructions he
has received among others are to or
ganize County Council of Patriotic
Service" as an auxiliary to the state
organization, and for the County
Council to organize local branches
all to work in conjunction with the
State Council. Mr.. Fruit was in Oro-
vile over Tuesday night and states
that he has made his selection for a
County Council, which includes the
following names: C. A. Potter, DR.. d.
Fl. Lewis, R. L Picken, c. E. Black
well, Geo. w. Lee, Chas. E. Johnson,
H. L. Kerr, Clair Ward, j. R. Evert, A.
g. Gillespie, E. F. Baker, w. A. Boil
niger, Chas. T. Borg, o. H. Woody,
Geo. J. Hurley, w. R. Moore, Frank
M. Dallam, Mrs. Geo. w. Lee and Miss
Georgian Donald. Mr.. Fruit trusts that
every person named will feel it a duty
and responsibility to his country to
accept the appointment and work to-
gether for the purpose of carrying out
the objects of the organization. 1t is
a time when men owe some sacrifice
to the country, and the country needs
the aid of every loyal citizen. Those
named cannot well do their bit in any
other manner than to give of their
time and influence to furthering the
best interests Of the state and nation,
and it is felt that these interests can
in measure be safeguarded through
an organization of this kind, which
will use every effort to perfect local
councils in every community. The first
meeting will probably be held at Okla
hogan next Tuesday afternoon, and
all named should be present.

Five times on both sides. the batsmen
