COUNTY CHAIRMAN FOR
WOMFN'S WAR SERVICE HERE
Mrs. Allison Barry Here Stirring up
Interest in War Service Work.

Mrs. Barry, of Wenatchee, is coun-
ty chairman of the Woman's War
Service League, and spent several
days here and other nearby points
last week. Her time was spent in
talking to the women about the work
of the league and pointing out the
saving that can be made by the league
members in canning, drying and pre-
serving fruits and vegetables that will
otherwise go to waste. She says the
Wenatchee branch of the league al
ready has several thousand jars ready
to ship and expects to make up car
load of thirty thousand tons. She
was highly pleased with the work
done and under way by the Leaven-
worth branch.
Mrs. G. A. Hamilton is local chair
man.
Mrs. Deed H. Magyar is publicity
and tells The Echo the Leavenworth
women have a goodly number of pint
and quart size jars ready to go out
by the first shipment from Chelan
county. Ranchers have been very
generous in bringing the women of
their fruits and vegetables. Right
here we may add that all the fruits
and vegetables so far put up have
been donated by people in this and the
vicinity of Peshastin.
Mrs. Barry also wants our boys
and girls to help in saving the fruit
pits and nut shells which the govern
ment so much needs in making gas
masks, because the carbon made from
them is so much superior to carbon
made from any other material in pro-
tecting our boys against the German
trench gases.

A BLACK DISGRACE.

Portland shipyard employees who
"payed hockey" Saturday afternoon,
Sept, 7, insiting on half-holiday, will
go back to work Monday. The Incl
dent will be closed until next Saturday
when it is expected they will take a
half-holiday off, unless the govern
ment intervenes, say newspaper re-
ports.
Trouble began Saturday afternoon,
when 5000 members of Boilermakes
Union refused to work, following a
vote of their organization. The men
desired continuation of the 44-hour
week, which the Macy agreement
gave them during June, July and Au-
gust. The Macy agreement provid-
ed for 48-hour week beginning Sept
first.
This is not matter to joke about
and excuse with the word "hookey."
Men who will commit an act of this
kind are deserters and disgrace to
the state and nation, and the press
and the public should demand punish
ment for such action.
Every honest and loyal citizen of
this country is working to the limit
to furnish our boys at the front with
all the necessary supplies, and to sec
a bunch of loafers lay down their tools
and quit work simply to force a halt
holiday the year round makes ones
blood boil and is demoralizing to
workmen in other industries.
The question is, are labor unions
more powerful than the "Union.
Are exempted workmen, receiving
double and treble the pay they useC
to get, to be further pampered at the
expense of boys on the firing line

county were well represented. The
object of the meeting was to get men,
bers for the society. Similar meet

On October 16 there will be candidates

Work Too Hard,

"The trouble with these business
men who come to work in the ship
yards is that they start out at too fast
a clip" declared a Seattle bolter-up
foreman. GAS the usual thing a bust
ness man wants to build a whole ship
by himself during a single night He
finds at the end of the eight hours
that there is some of the work left and
he tries to finish the following night.
Then after a week he discoveries the
ships not finished and he's all tired
out"
That speaks well for the business
men who have answered their coun-
try's call, realize their responsibility,
and who do not loaf minute on the
job. More of this sort of spirit is
needed in the shipyards, and less of
the slackerism that has been in evi-
dence. The majority of men in the
Pacific coast shipyards work-that is
eveidenced by the record the west is
making in shipbuilding. But if the
men all worked like "they wanted to
build whole ship alone in a single
night" the output would be doubled.
This is no time to take it easy, and
the high wages now paid ought to be
an incentive to increase production
provided that the labor bosses would
permit it.

G. ". BRISKFY WANTS$1O,OOO
DAMAGES FROM G. N. LUMBER co.
Case Grows out of Damage to Land
Since 1906 More Than Ten Thou
sand Dollars Paid Lawyers.

A suit on trial in the superior
court of Chelan county this week in
which the Great Northern Lumber
Co., is defendant and G. w. Briskey
is plaintiff, took some twelve or fif-
teen Leavenworth people to the coun-
ty seat. Besides the principals there
were twenty odd witnesses. The suit
grows out of damages to Mr.. Briskey's
ranch just across the Wenatchee river
south of town. As purchasers of the
Lamb-Davis Lumber Co., the Great
Northern Lumber Co. is defendant in
suit on trial this week. The outcome
viii be watched with unusual interest
for the reason that the cause of action
in this case has been the cause of ac-
tion in a number of other cases be-
side involving c. Victor Martin in
disbarment proceedings.
Mr. Briskey offered to sell his land
to the Lamb-Davis Lumber Co. in
1902, but the company thought the
price excessive. In June 1911 the
courts awarded Mr.. Briskey $7,679.00
for damages to his land caused by
back water from the company's dam
across the Wenatchee river This
judgement was affirmed by the su-
preme court. Another suit was brot
in 1917. In this suit Briskey was al
lowed 100000 per year for every
year the land was overfowed Later
the Lamb-Davis Lumber Co. paid TO
Mr.. Briskey's attorney $4,000. The
disbarment proceedings recently insti-
tuted against c. Victor Martin dis
closed that Attorney Martin made a
practice of collecting the various
amounts awarded against the lumber
company as attorney for Briskey, but
failed to turn any part, or if any, only
a few hundred dollars, over to his
client.
In the present suit Messrs. Barrows
and Corbin of Wenatchee represent
Briskey and Messrs. Morrill,, of Spo-
kane and L. j. Nelson of Leavenworth
the defendant lumber company. The
trial of the case took up the major
part of the week.

ANOTHER lEAVENWORTH MAN
MAKES SUPREME SACRIFICE
Frank GregOr Was Killed in France
July % According to Advice Re-
ceived by his Brother.

Frank Gregor was killed July %, at
the battle of Chateau Thierry. three
days after the late Henry Johnson
was killed. According to letters re-
ceived by his brother, Joe Gregor he
had frequently seen Henry and Harry
Hoxsey. Word of young Gregor's
death was received here Monday
morning at 5 o'clock. He was among
the first to answer the call. He reg
istered at Wenatchee in August 1917
and was called to the colors in Octo-
ber. He was temporarily in Belllng
ham when notified of his call and i'm
mediately left for Camp Lewis where
he remained until December and then

Great Northern as a brakeman. F 'enl

death.
Frank Gregor was of quiet dis
position and held in high esteem by
his fellow employees and all who
knew him. He is the second boy to
go from Leavenworth and pay the
supreme penalty that the worl'i may
be free from the horror of German
domination with all that it has come
to know German kultur means.

CHIwAUKUM COMES TO FRONT.

The people of Chiwaukum gave a
Red Cross dancing party at the school
house last Saturday evening. There
was a good turnout and the proceeds
amounted to $53.55 which was equally
divided between the Council of De-
Tense of Wenatchee and our Red Cross
chapter at Leavenworth.
Mrs. Barry of Wenatchee, repre-
senting the Council of Defense, gave
an interesting talk on the Council
and what it was doing, after which
everyone spent the remainder of the
evening in dancing. About midnight
a lunch was served when all departed
declaring themselves willing to donate
so literally to the Red Cross after
being entertained so royalty.
This is only the first of series
of partise to be given for the Red
Cross.

RED CROSS ASKS FOR
DISCARDED CLOTHING

Herbert Hoover has asked the
American Red Cross through Mr.
Davidson for 5000 tons of discarded
and surplus clothing, for the 10000
900 imprisoned people in occupied
Belgium and France. These peole are
suffering shame, disease and . some
death for lack of clothing this winter.
This clothing should be very servic-
able garments, blankets, sheets and
shoes. In addition piece goods, light
warm canton flannel and other kinds
of clothing from which to make gar
ments for new born babes, ticking,
and scrap leather for repairing foot
wear. Garments should be of strong.
durable material and nothing of a
flimsy nature or gawdy coloring. The
women of the occupied regions are
eager to earn small livelihood, by
repairing and making new garments
of this old material. Do not send stiff
hats, raincoats, rubber boots or any
thing containing rubber. Books, toys,
soap articles, and notes or communi-
cations of any description must NOT
be sent.
The Leavenworth chapters allot-
ment is one half ton, and the date for
collecting this clothing is September
% to 80.
Thoes who have clothing to spare
please phone 502 or 276, and the mo-
tor corps will call for them.
