SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. 19.-James
Rowan, district secretary Of the In
dustrial Workers Of the World, and
26 other members Of the organization
were arrested at local I. w. W. head
quarters here this afternoon by a
company Of Idaho National Guards
men. and placed In the county jail as
military prisoners. Rowan had or
dered the general strike of I. W. W.
labor In the northwest, to begin to-
morrow.
Strike orders advising farm work
ers to "let the fruit rot on the ground"
and calling on construction workers
to lay down their tools have been
signed by Rowan.
Lumber workers in the four States
already are on strike" Rowan said.
while he was awaiting his turn to be
searched and. booked. II think the
strike will spread further now, and
probably will affect industries in
which no strike has been called. Even
though all the officers or employees Of
the organization are put in JAIL. and
all the halls closed, arrangements
have been made to handle the move
ment."
Only a vote of the members of the
organization can halt the strike. Row
an said. as there is no one with au-
thority to take such action unless +.
W. W. members alleged by leaders of
the organization to be illegally held in
Jail are released by that time.

distant 10 unlock the door, forty mem
bers Of the company, under the COM
mand of CAPTAIN F. 4. Jeter, rounded
up twenty-five other men who were in
the hall and took them, with Moran,

A squad of Elardsmen was left at

er was stationed Mt the l. w. W. hall,
and the latter arrested three other

DISLOYAL ACTIVITIES
CAUSE OF REPRESSION
Action Under Military Law,
Following Strikes That

SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. 19.-
Aggressive Federal Intervention
to prevent the paralyzi1g Of in
dustres in the northwest through
the strike Of Industrial Workers
Of the World, which has been
called for tomorrow, occurred
late to-day when James Rowan,
district secretary Of the I. W. W.,
was taken as a military prisoner,
together with 26 other members
Of the organization, by National
Guardsmen in Federal service.
Major Clement Wilkins, Idaho
National Guard, who directed the
troops, declared he did not have
specific orders to act, but made
theuarrests under general orders
empowering me to take such
steps as appeared necessary to
prevent destruction Of property
and hampering Of industry"
Tho Strike Call.
The strike call, signed by Row.
an, included all members Of the
organization in construction and
agricultural work in Montana,
Washington, Oregon and Idaho.
Rowan declared that the arrests
tonight would intensity the strike
and cause it to spread. Lumber
workers in the four States already
are on strike.
Reports from all the States
named in the strike order were to
the effect that Federal, State,
county and city authorities were
prepared for any eventuality.
Major Wilkins said no disorder
had developed. Guardsmen pa
trolled the vicinity where~I. W. W.
speakers usually hold their meet
ings and prevented all gatherings.
At the Jail Rowan dictated a
statement Of the purposes of the
strike which he later read and
signed. He said the principal OBJ
ject of the strike of the lumber
workers is the eight hour day and
sanitary conditions in the camps.
Rowan's Statement.
I'VE have been accused OF being
unpatriotic and working against
the United States government in
the interests Of the German gov
ernment," he said. 1T has also
been stated that the lumber work
ers' strike has been financed by
German money. This is ab5o-
lutely untrue. The money which
supports the lumber workers
strike has been contributed by the
working class from all over the
country and some from working
men Of other countries, but we
have not yet got any from the
kaiser"

Joint Resolution Introduced in Both
Houses of Congress Declares That
State of War Exists Between
The United States and Gern1anu

Washington, April 2. Immediately after the
president delivered his message the senate and house
reconvened and an identical joint resolution was in
troduced in both houses declaring the existence of
state of war and directing the president to employ
all the resources of the country to carry on war
against the imperial German government and bring
the conflict to a successful conclusion
Because of the opposition to the measure bv
Senator Stone, chairman of the foreign relations
committee, the resolution was introduced in the SEN
ate by Senator Martin of Virginia the Democratic
floor leader. Representative Flood chairman of the
foreign affairs committee introduced it in the house
The resolution follows:
Joint Resolution declaring that state of war
exists between the imperial German government and
the government and the people of the United States
and making provision to prosecute the same:
Whereas, The recent acts Of the imperial Ger
man government are acts of against the govern
ment and people of the United States.
Resolved, By the senate and house of repre-
sentatves of the United States of America in congress-
assembled that the state of war between the United
states and the imperial German government which
has thus been thrust upon the United States is here
by formally declared; and,
''That the president be, and is hereby, authoriz-
ed and directed to take immediate steps not only to
put the country in thorough state of Defense but
also to exert all Of its power and employ all of it's
resources to carry on against the imperial Ger
man government and to bring the conflict to sue
cessful termination.
The resolution was referred to the foreign affairs
committee by both houses.

by some good housewives to-
either lard or cottolene. By the
the curing of the meat something
similar to the old fashioned way
the farmers used to smoke and
put up pork for the winter it is
made very palitable and often
desirable to either beef or pork.
1t is not known just what
amount of nutriment or health
properties the meat contains as
it has never been passed on by
chemists, but it is remarkable
that it has been unnecessary to
call a doctor to the Canyon Creek
ranch during the last eight

The Hon. Mrs. Colquhoun, :"
by Mrs. G. L. Haynes, with all
her wee-hour nosing, was, after
all, the real cause of Jimmy"
and Peggy" mending their af-
fairs so as to reach a happy
finale.
Mrs. O'Mara," by Miss Alice
Sabine, like all widows, knew
the game, and didn't have near
so much trouble in driving her
man to a happy home.
Mrs. Jenney K. Morris, as
Peggy" was so sudden at times
that she nigh took our theatrical
breath, but her honesty and big
open heart carried her safely

very much appreciated.
Peggy" may play a return
engagement. and will if we can
raise the required guarantee.
The house would be packed if she
should return.

Most Powerful Big Bear Bruin
Story Roped by Our Ener-
getic Correspondent

Holbrook, Ariz., Apr. A, IL
H. j. Ramer came in from his
ranch at Canyon Creek the first
of the week to attend to business
matters here. He reports a long
cold winter at his place and that
the mountain roads are still in a
very bad condition on account of
the deep mud and snow.
Mr.. Ramer ownes more cattle
than all of the ancient kings of
Caanan combined. His range is
a small empire of itself and cor
ners in the counties of Navajo,
Coconino and Gila, equaling in
area one Of the eastern states.
During the fall and winter
bear hunting is one of the most
interesting sports of the cow
punchers in the mountain fast
ness of Mr.. Ramer's range. He
reports the killing of an old griz-
zly early in the winter that
balanced the scales at eleven
hundred pounds. Two hundred
and forty pounds of grease was
secured from this bear, the rest
of the animal being used for
steak.
Hunters have formerly consid-
cred Mr.. Bruin valuable only for
his hide and the bounty placed
on him by the state. But times
are changing and it is possible
that the bear may some day be-
come as valuable for food pur-
poses as our own domestic
animals.
Mr.. Ramer explained that by
the proper mixing of the bear
grease with other animal fats a
very fine pastry baking grease
was secured that was preferred

ness, arrived last Saturday and
filled her two engagements

Anthony, Lord Cracken-
thorpe" by Taylor Hunt, was
buggy as they make them,
and even if he had not got his
bugs mixed with his courtship
with Mrs. O'Mara," by Miss
Alice Sabine, his bugs alone
would have won out.
''The Hon. Jimmy Keppel, "
by Marion Rogers, was there, as
usual, and at home. He had lots
of trouble with Peggy" but,
as is most always the case with
true love-" he won on the home
stretch.
Major Archie Phipps, by G..
L. Haynes, characterized the
nervons Englishman and put
ginger where the seasoning be-
longed. Perhaps, though, his
fancied Importance was more
appreciated by his dentist
than by even his near relatives,
yet it all might have been for
the good of the family

Smith, Jimmy's college chum,
and the man of the hour from
some where, held the game for
the time, filling the nick and
scotching the machine.
Parker" and Lucas, Reuel
Pomeroy and Hugh Willis, re-
spectively, should follow their
calling and take ship to England
and offer their services at some
of the most aristocratic uptown

Lady Crackenthorpe, by
Miss ThaIia Kartchner. picturized
the high minded old lady to a
finish and left a wall of sympathy
with the audience.
''The Hon. Millicent Keppel, F"
by Miss Madeline Brandt, was
certainly some star acting. She
never fluttered a single ripple.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, January .11.-Considerable
strength developed in the wheat mar
ket today after a show Of heaviness at
the outset Much of the buying appar-
emily was based on the absence OF any
confirmation of yesterdays bearish ru-
mors about peace and submarines
Commission houses were the chief pur-
chasers. Opening quotations. which
ranged from Y OFF to V advance. with
May at 1.S2Is to 1.s31s and July at
1.46% to 1.47A. were followed by sub
stantial gains all around, and then
omething of a reaction.
Corn rose mainly as result OF con-
tinued damage reports from Argentina
Colder weather tended also to help the
bulls. After opening " to u higher, the
market reacted a little, but later scored
decided fresh advance.
Oats hardened with other grain De-
mand. however, was only of scattered
sort
Absence of support led to declines In
the provision market. There did not
seem, however, to be any urgent pres
sure to sell
subsequently Wall street weakness
and news of the sinking OF the BRUSH
warship CORVALLIS made wheat values
din. but afterward large clearances al
the seaboard and bullish anticipations
as to the reply of the entente allies
brought about a sharp upturn; Inc
close was strong, to 4 net higner
with May at 187A to 1.s7 Il, and July
