Chicago Federation Of Labor
Declines to Mix With
Sabotage Advocates
NOTHING IN COMMON
Wont Workers Tear Down
Unions and Then Seek
Sanction

CHICAGO, Mar. 7.--Organized labor
in Chicago dealt the |. w. w. and its
methods a sodar plexus wallop Sun
day.
BY vote that was practically
unanimous the Chicago Federation of
Labor refused to issue credentials to
|. w. w. members, who had planned
to seek contributions from various
labor unions for the purpose of financ-
ing the defense of seyenty-four men,
bers of the organization who are to
be placed on trial for murder at Seat
tie as the result of recent disturb
ances there.
Action on the matter was taken
by the federation after an |. w. w.
delegate arose in the meeting and
made a "brotherly love- appeal in
which he declared that organized
labor and the |. w. w. were working
in common cause and therefore the
labor body should come to the aid Of
the other organization in it's running
afoul of the law.
President Scored |. w. w.
John Fitzpatrick, president of the
federation, thought differently about
the matter.
"The l. w. w. is an organization
nj, Eoc bull in,
deavor to destroy the American FEEDER
alton of Labor" he said.
Time and again, despite the fact
that it makes it's appeals in the name
of unionism, it has employed tactics
calculated to SOW the seeds of dis
ruption within the ranks of national
labor organizations.
"a typical example of this, was the
Everett affair.
Tears Down Union.
"There the I. w. w. wedged itself
into a situation that was we'll taken
care of by an organized union and
all that it succeeded in doing was in
destroying the union. Now it turns
around and asks us to sanction it's
methods officially.
"Such behavior on the part of the
l. w. w., acting as trade unionists,
is a disgrace to them and to union
ism.
81 for one can't 500 that we shOu1d
give it's members the credentials it
asks for"
The l. w. w. delegates were forced
to withdraw.

SE4ERIFF7'S OFFICE
COSTS TOO MUCH
State Accountants Say Office Expenses
Were $4,000 More Than They
Should Be.

:, ~MONTESANO, March 3.-That the
expenses of the sheriff's office for the
year 1915 were not less than $4,000
more than they should have been un-
der economical management was the
report of state accountants who have
just completed their examinations OF
the books.
The office cost the taxpayers $40 900
for the year, much too excessive a
figure say the accountants. Salaries
for the sheriff and regular deputies
We're $5,255.69, which they think ought
to be reduced.
The report compliments w. D.
Campbell, county auditor on the ac-
curacy Of the county records. 1t also
credits the county commissioners with
being business managers.
The report shows the net receipts
of the clerks office were S2.050.S9.
All road funds are in good shape with
the exception of district No. 4, where
80 per cent of the realty taxes are not
paid.

POTTER
SHOOTS BROTHER
Bullet From Revolver Thouqht Not
Loaded Passes Through Cheek
of Leslie Potter.

Using a weapon which he thought
was not loaded to point at his brother,
Clarence, as a bluff, Leslie Potter
pulled the trigger of the gun and shot
his brother through the cheek Tues
day afternoon.
The young men were in the bicycle
shop at Heron and Washington streets
owned by Clarence and had an argu-
ment over a trivial matter.
Clarence reached into the show case
and pulled out revolver and pointed
it at his brother. The revolver ex-
ploded and the bullet passed through
Leslie's cheek
The wound bled profusely but is
not serious physicians declare. The
wounded man will probably remain
in the hospital for few days.
Clarence was as much surprised
when the gun exploded as his brother,
he says. When he saw he had wound
ed Leslie he exclaimed, "My God, l
didn't know it was loaded"

Gas Bill Held Up On Empey's
Motion Until Franchise
Is Paid By Company
WITHDRAW DAMAGE SUIT
Councilman Pista Urges City
To Hurry Plans for
Clean-Up Campaign

1t was definitely decided at the coun-
Gil meeting Wednesday night to table
the occupation tax ordinance, after
several communications from labor
organizations were read expressing
opposition to the tax and declaring
that property and wealth alone should
be subject to taxation.
The International Union of Timber
Workers, the Aberdeen Central Labor
Council, the Aberdeen Typographical
Union and the Shing ngle-Wcavers Union,
all had communications before the,
council opposing the tax.
Mayor Phillips took exception to the
arguments advanced by the unionists"
letters but said he had made as much
of fight for the tax as he proposed
to and did not wish to leave an Ordi-
nance on the books with which his
successor would not be in sympathy.
All candidates for mayor at the re-
cent primary were opposed to the tax.
Withdraw Sorensen Claim.
The claim for $2,7OO, presented re-
Gently by John Sorensen, and one for
$3.50 from the Orc Investment COM
pany, was withdrawn and on the ad-
vice of the city attorney the release
was accepted. Sorensen and the in
vestment company claimed damages
in the above amount when the mayor
and several police officers closed the
St. Louis bar under the abatement law.
After the numerous bills were read
by City Clerk Clark, Councilman EN-
pey moved that all of them be allowed
with the exception of the gas COM
pany's bill He said the gas company
was six months in arrears in paying
for it's franchise and he favored hold
ing up it's claim against the city un-
til the franchise was paid. The coun-,
Gil members agreed with him.
City Engineer L. D. Kelsey was In
structed to prepare plans for reinforc>
ing the Elliott slough bridge. Per-,
mission for lowering the bridge ten
feet was recently granted by the war
department.
Kelsey recommended that the street.
car company be ordered to lower it's
tracks to grade on Sixth street. A
petition to plank Exchange street in
stead of putting gravel on it was laid
over until the night for protesting the
improvement.
Some councilmen favor eliminating
the East Aberdeen trestle from the
city limits and a special election may
be called for the purpose. If the
bridge is thrown outside the city
limits maintenance would fall upon
the county.
Councilman Pista urged the city to
begin making plans for cleanup cam
paign. Councilman Weiland wants the
city to take over the collecting Of
garbage. He thinks the city could do
the work better than it is being done
and make money out of the venture.

COURT DISMISSES
BOEINC'S APPEAL
Does Not Go Into Merits of Action,
Declaring 1t Will Consider Only
Final Judgments

The United States supreme court
has dismissed the appeal of w. E. Boe-
ing and the Grays Harbor Logging
company in the condemnation suit
brought by the Coats-Fordney Logging
company to condemn a right-of-way
for a logging road.
The Coates-Fordney company claim
ed it was necessary for it's road to
cross a piece Of logged-off land be-
longing to the Grays HarbOr company
and Boeing asked for decree of ne
cessity. The superior court granted
the decree and the state supreme court
upheld the state law and the decision
of the lower court.
Boeing. by his attorney, w. H. Abel,
appealed to the United States court
to reverse the decree but the court
refused to take action on the ground
that the decision of the state supreme
court was not one of final judgment
Inasmuch as condemnation proceed
ings had not been started no judgment
has been entered and there are no
grounds for appeal as to the necessity
of such judgment, the supreme
court contends.
Bridges and Bruener were attorneys
for the Coats-Fordney company and
contended the state law is constitu-
tiOnal. An effort was made at this
session of the Legislature to amend the
law so as to make a railroad taking

BILLY SHAFER'S DEAL
BY Alice E. Ives
- - .
Copyright. 1917, w. G. Chapman.)
Billy Shafer breezed into town,
and put up at the best hotel. 1t was
easily the best because there was but
one other, and that was the tavern.
If continued to be called the tavern,
for being devoid of such frivOlities
as modern improvements, it pre-
feTTed like an old deCayed family to
maintain the dignity of old traditions.
Billy was a travelling salesman whose
territory being restricted to small
towns, and hence not productive of
large pecUniary returns, was wont
to add to his income by being also
book agent for a remarkable volume
called, "A Treasury of Unusual
knowledge" He did not find that
the community at large was yeaTn-
ing for knowledge, still he sold a few
copies in each town, and he did not
get discouraged. That was one beau
tifuI. thing about Billy; no adverse
fate or series Of setbaCks ever gave
him a crouch or even dampened his
spirits This was Of course his great
est asset in the business of being a
drummer. 1t was quite impossible to
rebuff Billy; he bounded back like a
rubber ball.
So it was that BiIlys visits began
to be looked forward to with some
thing Of the expectation of a travel |
ing circus. The regular boarders !
suOlled out of the hotel dining room
and the usual outsiders drifted into |
the lobby, and Billy was soon the |
center Of a group ranging in variety !
all the way from Al Barkum, the vii |
lage "cut-up," to Emory Bond, dea- |
con of the Baptist church.
Still distributing that wonderful |
treasury of knowledge! scoffed one
Of the group.

him to smilingly join in with the

well, I've looked over that book
you know you got me to buy one"
remarked the deacon TeprOaChfully,
and ! didn't find anything unusual
about it.
There is never" said Billy orac-
ularly, anything unusual about true
knowledge"
you bet there will be something
unusual about your selling any more
