ATTACK BY AZ. OFL. ON SUPREME COURT
Opinion on Right to Strike i-
 kened to Russian Despoism

Washington, March 22.-President Gompers and Secretary Morrison of the American Federation of Labor presented to Attorney General Gre gory yesterday . protest against the declaration of the supreme court in the Adamson law decision that the right of railroad employees to strike ts limited by the public interest.
 The labor leaders declared that the court had gone out of it's way to in- ject this "reactionary'' assertion into it's opinion. Later the following state- ment was given out with the approval of MT. Gompers at Federation head quarters:
 ''The president and secretary of the American Federation of Labor, Samuel Gompers and Frank Mor- rfson. today presented to Attorney General Gregory in his oflice, . pro- test in the name of the workers of this country against the opinion ren- dered by the United States supreme court in going out of it's way upon matters not before the court and dragging in compulsory arbitration.
 ''The supreme court, by interpo- lating into the law and argument. be- fore it for consideration. a foreign matter, namely, denial to workers of the right to quit work in furtherance of their just and necessary rights, pointed out the way to those who wish to tie workers to their work in order to protect the supposed convenience of the public. |.
 ''Mr. Gompers called attention to the splendid progressive fundamental in both, Mexico and Russia, countries which are passing a period of danger and na- tional stress. assuring to the workers of those countries the right to strike.'
 'rThe opinion of the United States supreme court in connection with tho Adamson law decision belongs to tho old reactionary despotism of Russia and Medct, and is out of harmony with the free institutions of this re- public."

largest wholesale drygoods houses on
the west coast. He was also large

Predict Apple Box Shortage

According to present indications
there is going to be big shortage Of
fruit boxes IN the Wenatchee Valley
this year. The Great Northern Lum
Der Co., has been unable to turn out
their usual number this year on account
Of labor troubles and the same is true
of all the other mills in the county.
1T. Mcdonald OF the Peshastin Lum-
Der Co., told an Echo reporter this
week that they were turning all their
shop lumber into boxes and reserving
nothing. and that their output would
be around two million boxes. He said
that the mills could almost get their
own prices for boxes these days, .l8
and 20 cents being offered, by Hood
river growers, but that his company in
tended holding the prices down to
reasonable figure and placed all their
boxes in the Wenatchee Valley. This
policy has been adopted by all the
mills, that the local market must be
supplied first, even if it is at lower
figure than offered elsewhere.

Contractor Speidel who has made
Leavenworth his home for the past ten
years has decided to go to Wenatchee.
He has found that for his contracting
and building occupation it offers greater
opportunities because OF the more
central location of Wenatchee in the
great apple growing district. Mr..
Speidel was one OF our most successful
building contractors and leaves numer-
GUS monuments, in the shape Of sub
stantial Leavenworth buildings, to
testify his skill and workmanship. He
is now completing large fruit ware
house at Dryden and will soon begin
work on another at Trinidad to be COM
pleted this year.

trict Board, which controls the North
west counties of the state, has announ-
ced that virtually no agricultural la
borers and only few owners or renters
OF farms will be granted exemption
from army service on the ground Of
their occupation. 1t has been found
by investigators for the Government
that there is no particular shortage Of
farm laborers in Northwestern Wash
ington, hence the ruling referred to-.
The decision will be quite blow to
many small farmers and renters. who
figured that the Government would not
draft them but permit them to go
ahead and conduct their farms.

Wants Minimum Price for Spuds

State Commissioner Of Agriculture
E. F. Benson has appealed to Herbert
Hoover, national food director, for
government aid in fixing a minimum
price to farmers for their potato crop.
Inflated prices Of last year led Wash
ington farmers TO plant so many pota-
toes that 100 per cent increase OF
production is looked for by the state
official. Benson has asked the gov
eminent to fix minimum price Of $40
a ton to the farmer in order to prevent
a slump in 1918. Herbert Hoover
estimates that the national crop will be
100, 100000 buihels over any previous
year and as the railroads can handle
but third Of it during the digging
season he states that il storage facili-
ties can be arranged for the balance,

Wenatchee last Monday afternoon with
B. NJ. Fuller's household goods loaded
on his truck and in crossing the rail-
road track this side Of Monitor, No a,
the east bound express train hit the
auto truck square in the middle. Mr..
Howerton says he was hoisted about
twenty feet in the air and landed forty
feet from the track, over fence. He
was quite severely bruised but no bones
were broken and he will probably be
out in a week or ten days. Mr..
Fuller did not get off so luckey. He

and worked in the G N. mill and on

His wife was on the train that hit the
truck but was not aware until she
reached Wenatchee of what had

was badly damaged and the house
hold goods were scarttered far and wide.

down grade and the engineer of the

Railroad Man Arrested

Emil Norby, railroad man who is
not unknown to the people Of this city,
attended socialist meeting in Seattle,
according to a story current among
men who follow the rail, and it appears
engaged in a discussion with some OF
the faithful. Also he differed very
radically with some OF their tenets,
with the result that he was first com
pelled TO kiss their book of laws and
was then thrown out OF the hall. The
disturbance attracted the police and
they took him in charge. He looked
as if he might be subject to registra-
ton and the first thing they asked him
to produce was his registration certif-
cate. He said he was too old to be
subject to registration. Having pre-
yiously told that he was in the employ
of the Great Northern they got busy
and looked up his record there, which
disclosed that in applying for job ne
had given his age. nativity and other
facts about himself as required under
the rules of the company. This rec
ord belied his statement and now he
will not only have to register but serve
in the army or go TO prison.

New Fire Alarm Device

A new fire alarm system is needed.
1t so developed at the council meeting
on Tuesday evening, and in view OF
the fact that the city is not long on
cash at the present time it has been
suggested that the FIRE department
give dance or series Of dances to pay
for the cost of the same. The alarm
being proposed is an electrical device
and could be heard in every part OF
the city and would be so arranged that
from the number Of blasts Of the whistle
anyone could tell the approximate To-
cation OF the fire. The alarm would
be operated from the telephone Office.
The cost of the system would be about
$3.50. The fire department is expect
ed to launch this scheme in the near
future.
