Tuesday night by former Governor

Gooding said:
The reign OF terror that is being
carried on in northern Idaho by the

States government.
''The government wants 400, ,OOO.- :
900 feet of lumber from this section.
The council is convinced that the l.
w. w. is trying to block every ef-
fort for the government to get this
lumber.
Some OF the mill owners have
conceded and granted every demand
OF the /. w. w. leaders with the sin
gle exception OF recognizing the l.

THE men have gone back to work
after their demands were granted
only to be called out again by new
delegates arriving from Spokane.
