ing to be one of the staple crops
grown in the valley this year As
valley lands produce a high grade OF

more profitable crop could be planted
Not only is the grain on the cob \

SAVED LIFE; NO BENEFITS.

Harrisburg, Pa.-Dependents of a
man who. sacrificed his life trying to
save fellow workman are not entitled
to compensation because he did not
await specific orders to take the risk,
is the reasoning of Lancaster plumb
ing firm which has appealed an award
to the state workmen's compensation
board.
The appeal is taken on the ground
that in plunging into sewer manhole
after another workman who had been
overcome by fumes, ]. A. Lauer, aged
20 years, "arrogated to himself duties
which he was not engaged to perform"
and was not furthering the business
interests of his employers"
The parents of Lauer were awarded
$749 by a referee and this award has
been appealed. The firm contends that
Lauer was not required to save the
life of fellow employe, and although
he lost his life in his effort to do so.
his dependents are not entitled to
compensation because by his own act
he lost his life"

WOMEN QUIT II. II. SHOPS.

Tacoma, Wash.-Several women en-
ployed in the shops of the Northern
Pacific railroad have quit One woman
said she did not blame the organized
workers for protesting against women
who are placed in the shops at a lower
rate than the unions have made possible.
She said her husband did not belong to a
union, and that "it is true he does not
get sufficient wage from the company
to support the family and | started to
work to help him"
The railroads action has aroused
strong protest from trade unionists,
members of womens clubs and other
citizens.
Writing i'll the Tacoma Daily News,
+. J. Pelkey, labor editor of that paper,
says:
The real trouble with the Northern
Pacific is not scarcity of men, but the
fact that it refuses to pay wage suf-
ficient to maintain decent living. The
extremely low wages offered by the
Northern Pacific explains its cry OF la
Dor shortage"

WILL JAPS BE CITIZENS?

San Francisco.-Judicial proceedings
in the case of a Jap who claims Amer
lean citizenship have been transferred
to the United States supreme court. The
Jap, is Honolulu merchant and has ap-
pealed from the decision of the federal
court at Hawaii. In 1902 he declared
his intention of becoming a citizen but
his petition for naturalization was de-
MED by California court on the ground
that "he was person of the Japanese
race, born in Japan" He now claims
that the naturalization act adopted June
22, 1906, does not mention race or color
in connection with eligibles for citizen
ship and that it, therefore, repeals the
previous act
The precedents involved in the suit
are so important that if the Jap wins
in the United States supreme court il
is said that the decision will make cit
izenship for $4,000 Japanese in this
country possible
