Stock Association Meeting.

A large number of the members of
the Saratoga Valley Stock Growers AS
ISOLATION attended a meeting at the
city hall in Saratoga last Friday. The
gathering was called for the purpose
of discussing the farm labor problem,
and by a vote of the assemblage a scale
of wages governing ordinary condi-
lions was adopted, as follows:
For ordinary ranch work, $50 per
month, and board, lights and fuel.
Hay hands, ordinary, $3.50 per day,
furnished.
Hay stackers, $3.50 per day, fur.
nished.
Professional i%rrigators, $500 per day.
Teams, $3.50 per day employer fur.
nishing hay, owner furnishing oats.
The ordinary ranch hand wage of
$50 per month is $500 above the o
ernments recommendation as a reason.
able wage, as employers now contend
that they cannot provide good board,
fuel and other items to their help for
a less figure than $4,000 per month.
While some persons have contended
that the scale adopted is discrimina-
tory, it cannot be said to apply in that
way except to the poor workman. The
stockmen contend that is is merely q
matter of protecting the good hand
from the hobo, who generally demands
the best pay for the poorest work.
The scale adopted does not prevent
any employer from paying his EN-.
ployes or any n Of them more than
the stipulated price, and it cannot be
considered as discriminating in any
manner against the exceptionally good
workman who is really and actually
worth more than the scale allows.

the honor to respectfully submit the
following petition for your serious con-
sideration:
Whereas, there is a state of war exz
listing between the United States of
America and the Imperial German Gov
eminent and the allies of that govern

Whereas, 1t is known that the enemy
has been maintaining a spy system
composed of individuals and groups,
working in conjunction within the bor-
ders OF our country, who have repeat
eddy given aid and comfort to our en-
envy, and is at this very moment, which
we deem the most critical period in
modern history, ~espousing the cause of
the Imperial German Government and
her allies; and
Whereas, it is known that the enemy
has ~endeavored to bride some of our
own citizens to become traitors to Our
country, and in some instances has sue
ceeded and
Whereas, we deem that spies and
traitors are or should be in the same
category, for either will in time in5ure
or interfere with the prosecution of
this war;
Now, Therefore, we do hereby re-
specially petition that from this time
until the close of the war each and ev-
cry individual found to be a spy or
traitor by a competent court be COM
