Ogre put out his three heads, the
faces of each all twisted with pain,
and Hans almost ran away with
fright, they looked so dreadful.
"Oh, my heads, my heads"
Groaned the Ogre. "All three are
aching dreadful, can tell you.
Have you cut the hundred trees
and sawed them?'
Il can cure Your heads ii YOU

the question about the trees.
Down came the Ogre, and Hans

Hans slipped the rings on the
horns.
The other head was still wide

and snipned Off the long hair, and
down on the floor all in q heap

How would you like to have a
brother, a COW and a dcg?" asked
the fairy
Hans said he should like that
very much. and the fairy touched
the sleeping Ogre with her wand
on each head and there appeared a
dog that barked and jumped about
Hans, licking his hands.
Then a COW appeared, and then
boy about Hans size and Hans
looked at them all without know
ing what to say.
The boy took the COW by one
horn and led her to one end of the
kitchen, and the next thing Hans
knew he was standing in a nice
warm barn instead of the kitchen,
with q stall for the COW and loft
filed with hay.
The fairy pointed to the door,
and looking out, Hans saw a nice
little white cottage not far away.

When they went into the house

table nice breakfast waiting Tor

his life Hans mad all he wanted to

Then he looked for the fairy, but
she had disappeared, and he never

Ogre's kettle, even if he did have
hard time escaping from being

LAWSON WAS "JOBBED" SAYS
STATE ATTORNEY.

Denver.--In the language of police,
John R. Lawson, union miner, was
"jobbed," and was "railroaded" to life
Imprisonment by coal operators attor-
ney acting as judge.
This confession was made by States
Attorney General Hubbard in brief
filed in the State supreme court, in which
it is acknowledged that former Attorney
General Farrar who prosecuted Lawson,
committed error at the trial. The court
is asked to set aside Lawson's life SEN
tence.
The State official declared this action
should be taken because of the invalid
ity of the entire proceedings" The brief
refers to the miners strike and the feel
ing developed on both sides.
'Under the circumstances" it is stated,
ut was particularly unfortunate that he
was tried before judge against whom
there rested the imputation of interest,
bias, or prejudice" This statement re-
fers to CRANKY Hillyer, ex-coal opera
tors attorney, who was appointed judge
of a specially-created judicial district by
coal operators legislature, to try the
hundreds of miners charged with all
manner of crime as a result of the strike.
After Lawson was found guilty of MUIR
der and sentenced to life imprisonment
and the State supreme court ordered
new trial, admitted Lawson to bail and
debarred Hillyer from hearing other
cases, the "frame-up" of coal operators
and their allies collapsed under the ag-
gressive agitation conducted by organ
lied labor, and not single union miner
is now in Jail.
Lawson was charged with killing
mine guard Later jurors made oath that
after they had considered the case for
hours, the court bailiff who was in
charge of the jury told them that Judge
Hillyer gave orders that no food should
be supplied them until they had agreed
on a verdict. One juror swore that he
stood against conviction until the bailff
told him his wife was taken suddenly i'll
and was liable to die 1t was afterward
found that the jurors wife had not been
sick.
Lawson was active during the strike
and was member of the executive
board OF the United Mine Workers at
the time Since then he has retired from
office and is now working at his trade.

WAS GOMPERS RIGHT?
ASKS LABOR EDITOR

Minneapolis.-Before the war Editor
Cramer, OF the Labor Review, owned by
the Trades and Labor Assembly of this
city, advocated mo war;" and journeyed
to Washington with other citizens in the
interest OF peace.
Writing in the last issue of the Labor
Review he comments on his visit to the
nations capital and under the caption,
Was Gompers Right?" makes this edi-
torial statement:
There is much comment favorable
and unfavorable of the position taken by
President Gompers in expressing the at
titude of organized labor toward the
war, and in accepting position on the
council of defense.
Having recently been in the east and
having seen first hand the sentiment of
the east we believe it is impossible for
anyone to judge the action of the Presi-
dent of the American Federation of La
Dor unless they have become acquainted
with the war frenzy which exists in the
east, and which gripped Congress.
President Congress evidently saw that
a declaration of war was inevitable He
was on the ground and in position to
KNOW NO one III Washington who used
his ears and eyes and mind could reach
any other conclusion, and so with a
declaration of war impending it was up
to the president of the American Fedora
ton OF Labor to adopt policy which
would best protect the federation.
lie had for his guidance what had
happened in England. He remembered
that the English labor movement
stronger than the A. Il. of L., had at
first refused to cooperate with the gov
ernment but that it had been unsuc-
ccessful in preventing the war, and had
been forced to surrender many valuable
conditions won through years of strife
and sacrifice.
I'VE are facing things, and forced to
lace things as they are, and not as we
wish they were. We cannot say, but we
believe time will prove that President
Gompers was right"

RAILROADS NOT CONSISTENT.

Cleveland.--The Railroad Trainman
official magazine of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen, makes this interest
ing comparison of the manner in which
two pieces of legislation was treated by
railroad managers:
There has not been reference to
the enactment of the Newlands act in
1913 that would lend color to the belief
that it was passed under duress. The
Adamson eight-hour law of 1916 passed
under exactly similar circumstances, has
not been referred to in certain circles
as anything else. The difference be-
tween the two measures is that the first
one was enacted at the joint request OF
the railroad companies and the organiza-
tions of railroad employees, while the
other was enacted at the suggestion of
the president of the United States after
both the railroads and their employees
had laid the merits of their respective
sides of the controversy before him and
he had declared for and against certain
proposition contained in the demands
of the men.
"The principal reason for declaring
the cight-hour law was enacted under
duress is that it did not conform to the
demands of the railroads that investiga-
ton be first in order, to be followed by
arbitration, in which demand the railroad
companies were joined by all of the
financial interests of the country, not
overlooking the very important fact that
the agricuturists played very close
second to the demand. The Adamson
law provided exactly what the railroad
companies sought, namely, investigation
Of the facts connected with the cost of
operation, so far as wages and hours
were concerned. But the railroad COM
panies overlooked their original demand
and tied up possible investigation by re-
fusing to obey the law and securing any
number of njunctions against its op-

RECORD WAGES PAID UNION
IRON WORKERS.

Pittsburgh, Pa.-Members of the
Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel
and Tin Workers are receiving the high
est wages in any period of the worlds
iron-maling history. Wages are adjusted
every two months. Manufacturers sub
NIT record of material shipped and
prices received to committee of the
Amalgamated Association. The prices
for January and February, for instance,
is the basis for wages during March and
April. Under this system, which is
unique in American trade unionism,
puddlers received ct the last settlement
an advance from 5000 to $11.30 ton !;
bar end guide mill workers advanced
10 per cent sheet mill workers, 1S per
cent, and tin plate workers, IA per cent.
The boilers and finishers are working
for 105 and rs per cent, respectively
above the minimum base.
Wages of the boilers and 6nishers are
based on the selling price of bar iron
sheet workers on the selling price of 26,
81 and 2S gauge plain sheet steel and
the tin workers on the selling price OF a
1CO-pound coke tin plate.
This wage adjustment system is made
possible through recognition of the
Amalgamated Association by the West
ern Bar Iron Association, the Republic
Iron and Steel Company for the bar
iron branch and the Independent Sheet
and Tin Manufacturers Association for
sheet and tin.
The effect Of organized iron, steel and
tin workers efforts is shown in the re-
