We have written to the county farm
demonstrators Of states in the north
west asking for information on the
production of alfalfa seed in their coun-
ties. We hope by this method to get
in touch with some farmers who are
producing alfalfa seed that is hardy
and can withstand our climate. This
Office will be glad to assist anyone in
the purchase of their alfalfa seed for
this coming season. All demonstra-
tions which will be conducted with
alfalfa during this coming season must
be sown vita seed secured directly
from farmers in the Northwest, 10 that
there will be no chance Of failure due
to weak seed. We hope to have this
work all planned as soon as possible 30
that the seed may be purchased while
there is still supply in the hands OF
the farmers producing it. This office
will act in an advisory capacity in
securing this seed but win not handle
the business details, rather turning
that over tosome grange or cooperative
buying association.

Compensation
Laws of Three
States Upheld
Supreme Court Finds New
York, Iowa and Washing
ton Acts Valid
Dissent in One Case
Four Justices Oppose Major
ity in Decision on North
western Statute
Dissent in One Case
LFrnm The Trihnnn Rnrean |

Washington, March 6.-The work
mems compensation laws of New YORK,
Iowa and Washington were held con-
stitutional by the Supreme Court to-
day. All the opinions were by Mr.. jus
tice Pitney, and there was no dissent
except in the case involving the Wash
ington law. Justices Holmes, Day,
Brandeis and Clarke ccncurred with
Justice Pitney in sustaining the law,
and the Chief Justice and Justices Nc
Kenna, Van Devanter and McReynolds
dssented, but without expressing the
grounds of their dissent.
The Iowa statute is an elective work
mems compensation law. having the
same general features that are found
in the laws Of Massachusetts,, Rhode
Island, New Jersey. Illinois, Ohio, Ken
lucky. Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kansas
and Texas.
The New York law is a compulsory
workmen's compensation act, obliga-
tory in hazardous employments, and
requires every employer 10 provide
compensation according to prescribed
schedule for the disability or death OF
an employe resulting from accidental
injury sustained in the course OF the
employment, without regard to fault as
cause except where the injury ia oc-
casioned by the wilful intention Of the
injured employee or results from MS IN
toxication while on duty.
The amount of compensation payable
under the act is not according 70 the
measure Of damages applied in negli-
gence suits, but is based solely on loss
of wages and the character and dura-
ton of the disability; while in case
the injury causes death there is com
pensation for the widow and for each
child under eighteen, based upon the
average wages of the deceased EN-
poye.
The Washington workmen's compen-
sation act. like the New York law. pro-
vides for limited compensation to in
jGred employees, or the widow and de-
pendent children, but, unlike the New
York law. il does this solely through a
state fund. maintained by compulsory
contributions from employers in those
industries. all rights of action by en-
Moves and their dependents against
employers being abolished.
As affecting employers, the Washing
ton law differs from that OF New York
in that periodical contributions to the
state fund are required TO be made by
every employer. whether his own en-
nloves have sustained injuries or not.

Crowd at $25O,0O0 Fire
Goes Fishing for Nuts
Greenwich Street Blaze Halls
81" More than Two Hours

Fire swept through seven story
building at 42s Greenwich Street last
night, hating Ninth Avenue elevated
trains from $50 TO 9 o'clock. destroy
ing stock valued at s25O,O0o and leav-
ing only the walls of the structure
standing. The building was owned by
the Pyle estate and occupied by Bird
song Brothers. importers of nuts ana
fruits.
Although police reserves from three
stations kept the crowd several hundred
feet from the blazing building. whose
walls bulged dangerously, residents OF
the neigh borhood. armed with sleeves,
screens and mosquito netting, eagerly
dipped and seined the nuts that came
floating down the cutters.
Despite the high pressure system, II
was necessary to send in three alarms.
The ire was discovered by the motor
man of a Ninth Avenue elevated train.
The cause is unknown. A fire in the
same building on Monday did $4,000
carnage.

Albany, March 6.-An opinion Of

Supreme Court Annuls Un-
derwood Clause Favoring
Goods in American Bottoms

Washington. March 6.-From SO
600. 900 TO S30.OO0,O00 was saved 70 the
United States to-day By the decision
of the Supreme Court that the per
cent clause OF the Underwood tariff
law is invalid. This clause, designed
TO aid American shipping under the
burdens imposed by the La Toilette
seamen's act, provided that all goods
reaching this country in American
bottoms or in ships of nations coming
under the most favored nation"
clause should be admitted at per
cent Tess than the usual duties.
Through Justice Holmes the court
held that the discount clause designed
to aid in upbulding the American mer-
chant marine was imperative alto
cether because 1t conhicted with eX-
listing treaties. II was held inapt
plicnble both to American vessels and
10 those Of twenty-five foreign nations
having treaties.
After enactment of the law the At
toruey General decided il was void and
imperative as discriminatory and vlo-
latiye of the treaties Upon this ruling
the Treasury Department has refused
ali discount claims. collecting full
tariff rates, until it held great sums
which would have had 20 be repaid
had the law been upheld.
Upon appeal of many New York inn
porters further division OF opinion as
.. n
BOARD of Customs Appraisers held il
operative only to imports in American
shins The importers appealed TO the
Customs Court, which held that the
discount should be given not only upon
such imports. but also upon those in
vessels Of the treaty nations The
Senate proviso was held by this court
TO extend the discount TO these foreign
nations.
From this ruling the Department OF
Justice appealed TO the Supreme Court.

In the six counties only $3.50 bush
els of potatoes are held by farmers.
There are no apples for sale. Other
farm products are as far below the
normal as are potatoes. Many farmers
face a problem in obtaining seed pota-

slaughter houses. and in the cold stor-
age plants, retail stores and markets,
the amounts Of foodstuffs on hand gem
