LEAGUE FORMED
AT TEXTILE CONVENTION

For the purpose of enlisting the
cooperation of local merchants in
carrying ready made garments bear
ing the label of the Consumers
League, to bring exhibits of interest
and enlightenme to the general
public and the college students, as
we'll as to enlist an active interest in
all laws lettering the condition of
working women and children, a
Consumers League was organized by
the women of the State College Fri
day, May 25. AS a second meeting
of the Textile Convention, the or
ganization of such league is especi-
ally timely as textiles are directly
connected with many of the prob
lens of the working class, both
through manufacture and usage.
Election of officers followed a
most interesting program, the num-
bers of which were given principally
by the girl students OF the Home Ec-
onomic Department. Miss Bustrack
gave the history, origin, and growth
of the Consumer League; Miss
Anna Jacobson gave report of both
federal and state laws covering the
labor of women and children, as fos-
tered by the League; Miss ElYa Glea-
son gave a second report on what has
been done in national and interna-
tional textile legislation, and Pro-
lessor Agnes Craig gave brief talk
on individual responsibility in rails
ing the standard Of textile produe-
ton.

be exercised in narrowing after the

backward will reduce the danger of
injury. The operator should de-
termine himself whether narrowing
is effectively destroying the weeds
or resulting in injury to the crop.

The farmers, however, can grow
too many potatoes. We ought not
to overlook the fact that potatoes are
largely composed of water. They
are extremely bulky, and it is only
once in a while that they bring a
sufficient price to warrant shipping
them long distance. Moreover, we
may have greater car shortage next
fall and winter than last year, in
which case only the more nutritious
food products will be shipped. If in

OF the countries and shipping of the
allies should be sold and the pro-
ceeds applied as part of the war in
demnity, in the opinion of a commit
tee of members of the Chamber of
Shipping of the United Kingdom and
of the Liverpool Steamship Owners
Association. This committee was APP
pointed to ascertain what Great Brit
aims trade policy should be after the
conclusion of the war. They recon-
mend that the funds derived from the
sale of the enemy vessels taken in
war should not be applied to reif-
burse British shipping owners or
underwriters for lost ships but hould
go to the general indemnity fund.
The committee asserts that, in de-
termining Britain's trade policy to
be adopted after the war, it should
be the first care of the state to do
rothing to imperil the ''preeminent
position the United Kingdom holds
in the international trade of the world.

the nation must with the utmost pos

place teh aw rwatage in its shipping.

One witness swore that he saw MacRae give the signal for the first shot. Important testimony intro duced revealed barbarities of hein- ous type practiccd upon the Indus trialists before the encounter, and the police of Everett were unwilling witnesses to the fact that while con ducting their fight for free speech the men had never offered any viol- cnce or resisted arrest.
 The case will go to the jury early this week and the attorneys will commence arguments In it to- morrow.

The defense succeeded in intro ducing witnesses to rebut practically all the vital points brought out by the prosecution. It was shown that the allegation that Tracy fired through the cabin window was impossible to be proved because the cabin window was invisible from the dock. It was testified that Tracy huddled close behind the smokestack during the firing. It was testified to by an Everett city official that the whole affair had been arranged at a conference whereat he was pre- sent.
