budge an inch from it's principles of the s. T. and L. A. of other years.
 Socialists and anarchists within the l. w. W. later cane to acute faction fighting, and syIdicalsm parted company with the Organiza- ton and re-inserted itself with qhe A. F. of I. These are facts. But refer again to Butte. Suppose, which is doubtless correct that Butte No 1 was rotten with re- action and corrupt officialdom. There is no doubt about that. The Industrial Workers with persistent agitation caused the final destruc- tion of that organization. The field was open to them for the past sev- eral years since the overthrow and anihilation of Butte No. 1, w. F. M. What has happened? Merely that reaction triumphed and instead of such poor unionism as prevailed there was none at all, and the si- tuation was infinitely worse than before.
 That it may change in the imme- diate future with the I. w. w. in control is possible, but the reac- tionary elements will be mighty indigestible morsel which will defy any more effective assimilation.
 All of these things make the out look in Arizona not very bright. We don't think that the 1. W. w. will make much progress unless il brings about an immediate change in the sentiments of the vast major ity of the miners, and that is highly improbable, to our notion imposs- ible.

IN ARIZONA.

The mining situation in Arizona is not pleasant to consider. The workers are divided between sup nort of the organizations known as the Industrial Workers of the World and the International Union of Mine. Mill and Shelter Workers. Yet when such dissension prevails among the workers themselves, it is difficult to see how the time can be considered opportune for strike. This sort of labor solidarity is only ridiculous and foolish and even tra- gic enough.
 The Miners Magazine, the official organ of the latter organization, when commenting with some bitter ness upon the tactics of the l. w. w. in the mining camps declares with emphasis that the organization while it may have broken up the Western Federation of Miners, left behind it nothing to take the place of the Union which it disrupted.
 It is impossible to regard this fact without some misgiving when considering the situation in Arizona, and frankly when the miners are divided into two camps, favoring two organizations and two distinct policies, we fail to see where any gains can be made for labor,
 It is preposteroUs to hold that any union is better than the union which the I. w. w. would displace. That is raw buncombe. The union is what the members make it, and we know enough about human ma ture to fully understand, that if the membership was reactionary nnder the older charters, they are not going to be the more advanced merely because they have received some particularly healing grace from a few extremists.
 We may believe that contracts are foolish; that the check off sy- stem is iniquitous. But so is the wage working system generally, and these are merely details which the rank and file can if they want, remove any time.
 Moreover many members within the affiliated Unions of the A. F. of l.. have been agitating for number of years for reforms and while they have not achieved very much re- suits. they have at least established absolute freedom of discussion in all locals upon them.
 Common sense refuses point blank to think that it is a desirable policy to break up one form of organiza- lion in Arizona and substitute an other when even if the other was established it would still be merel? q difference at the best, of Tweed!a- dum and Tweedledee.
 Suppose for example that the l ". w. were successful in breaking rup the locals of our organization in Arizona, and surYose that they were able to completely organize the workers in their organization. We know and they know that they would have to take in all members. They would have to take in the eco nomicaIly ignorant with those who were class conscious; the radicals and the reactionaries alike, If the

SHOULD BALE
RICE STRAW

In going about over some sections Of
the parish we notice many large stocks
of rice straw which have been left by
the threshiHg machines, and It bchoves
us to make 4 plea to all concerned to
fry to have every straw in these piles
baled and stored away.
The country is in great need of every
bale Of hay that can possibly be saved,
and it is very imperative that every
thing be saved that will be good for
feeding purposes.
Rice straw makes a good hav when
other kinds are unavailable, and IN the
face of the storage Of feed now is the
time to get busy and bale up all of
these rice straw piles, Those who have
no use for it can sell it to advantage,
as it will soon be in greater demand
than il is now.
In storing is away we mean 10 pre-

KNIT GOODS FOR SOLDIERS

Despite contradictory reports which
have been in circulation, the knitting
of sweaters, mitts and other comfort
articles for soldiers is encouraged by
the War Department. The State Coun-
Gil of Defense is enabled to make this
reassuring announcement on official au
thority to all mothers, wives, sweet
hearts and friends Of men in the SER
vice.
No attention should be paid to III.
mors to the effect that knitted goods
are not acceptable and that army men
are not permitted to receive them.
There is only one caution issued to the
patriotic women who are producing this
warm apparel: Don't use gaudy yarns.
All such articles should be knitted in
neutral colors, otherwise the soldiers
will not be allowed to use them. The
reason for this ruling Is plain. Bright
colors render conspicuous and expose
them unnecessarily to the enemy's fire.
1t is much preferred by the War De-
psrtment that knitted goods be given
to the Red Cross for distribution as
that organization knows exactly where
there is most need Of them. The De
partment, however, does not deny any
one the right to donate such goods to
individuals Of 10 regiments! uait,.
