1ynching OF active trade unionists may
soon take place.
John Murray of Los Angeles and
Washington, organizer for the A. r.
of L., recently was sent here as a
delegate from the convention of the
Arizona State Federation of Labor, to
get the A. F. of L. to take UP with
President Wilson the necessity Of res
toring civil law in Bisbee and through
out the state, The case was put up
to the president by Mr.. Gompers, and
the president agreed to have a COM
mission go to Arizona and other
Western states to report on the causes
of the lawlessness and strikes now
prevalent, and to suggest remedies.
That commission has not yet been
named. Meanwhile Murray has been
to Indianapolis and has conferred
with John P. White, William Green
and Frank Hayes, international off,
GERS of the United Mine Workers of
America. They suggested a general
conference of officers Of all the no
tional and international unions having
members in the states affected by the

definite action to protect the union
forces here.
Raise I. w. w. Cry.
In connection with the copper
strikes has been raised the cry that
the Industrial Workers of the World
were getting the control of organized
labor. On this pretext the agents of
the Federal Department Of Justice
with the astuteness that generally
marks the detectives trade, have in
vaded the offices of the United Mine
Workers in indianapolis, to get evi-
'dence Of I. w. w. Plots They have
arrested labor organizers in various
cities. Men of local police authority
put three organizers of the Interna-
tional Union of Mine. Mill and Shelter
Workers on a train at Grand RAPIDS.
Mich. some days since, and compelled
them to leave town. There are clay
miners in the vicinity, and an attempt
to organize them was proof Of 1. w. w.
plotting.
It is possible that President Wilson
or Secretary of War Baker will see
that further deportations from Arr.
IONA are prevented, and that the Bis
bee miners are escorted safely back to
their homes. But If this action is not
taken. the conference Of labor organ-
izations may decide on some other
program-such, for instance, as a ma
tional protest and appeal to congress.

TACOMA, WASH, Sept. 6.-Because

G. L. Martin told the dairymen who
were In attendance Mt the state college
farmers week. "When she Is at her
maximum of production, she has sutti-
cient food to maintain her body and
to produce all the milk Of which she
Is capable.
IF more food is supplied 1t goes into
surplus flesh and fat. If less food Is
supplied, milk production falls Off, for
the amount taken for bodily sustenance
cannot be reduced.

these six years he had many opportuni-
ties of knowing the real nature of the
senior partner. There had grown to be
something more than respect in his
thing like the love of son. Joe had
no father, and the interest. and wise
counsel of Torrey had seemed in a way
to supply the parental need. But Joe
saw with some sorrow and regret the
continuous hardening and roughening
of the exterior. He wondered IL 1t was
penetrating to the heart and soul of
the man. Was he becoming a mere
moneygrubbing machine, whose only
happiness was in turning the grind
stone, and whose whole life revolved
around his office desk? Torrey had
never married and lived in handsome
bachelor apartment. There really was
no reason for calling him "old" for he
was still on the sunny side Of sixty.
But he had seemed to age rapidly of
late. Joe wondered If 1t was not due
to his treadmill existence.
The young man, as usual, left his
country address when he said good-by

sydney. Austrnlia.-Word comes to
sydney from the Fiji islands that the
Japanese have not only monopolized
the trochas shell supply of that group,
but are encouraging the "skinning' OF
the reefs. and are thus indirectly
threatening the destruction of the
shell output of Fiji. Not only so, but
advices lately received from Brisbane
are to the effect that the Japanese are
seeking to exploit the shell supply OF
Thursday island and elsewhere on
the northern side of the Australian
continent.
In Curious Position.
"The shell industry is in curious

respondent Of the Sydney Daily Tele-
graph. Buttons are made out OF

Fiji islands, sici pronounced see

of the shells home as curios, and they

Working for Success.

Success does not always come to
those who work the hardest, unjust as
that may seem. 1t comes usually to
those who work, knowing without
doubt that their efforts will be crowned
with success; to those who realize that
there is place for them in this world,
a place which no one else can fill sue
cessfully, and all they have to do Is to
strive to find that place.
Work. certainly. That yod must do,
as matter of course, If you expect
success. But work knowing that you
will find your place, and once having
found it success will come. Learn to
think success as well as to work for it.
