engaged in a righteous war. We have
said repeatedly that industry plays
as essential and honorable a role in
this great struggle as do our military
ornaments. We all recognize the
truth of this, but we must also see
it's necessary application-namely,
that industry, doing vital task for
the nation, must receive the support
and assistance of the nation. We
must recognize that it is a natural
demand-almost right, of any one
serving his country, whether en-
ployer or employe, to know that his
service is being used in the most eff
fective manner possible. In the case
of labor this wholesale desire has
been not little thwarted owing to
the changed conditions which war has
created in the labor market.

HIRING OF LABOR
DISAPPROVED.

Several suggestions have gone for
ward to the head of the labor en-
ployment bureau in this state that
an employment bureau be established
in Olympia. The plan of hiring men
at the gate. as is the practice here,
is objected to.
In Seattle and Tacoma the labor
bureau works in conjunction with
the unions, and that plan has proved
to be satisfactory in all respects.

TRADES COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.

A protest against the high price
of -four substitutes brought forth
a considerable amount of affirmative
oratory at the regular meeting of
the Trades Council. Thursday even
ing, June 10. Delegate e. r. Moh-
Ter, acting upon instructions of his
union, the Steam Engineers, offered
a motion demanding regulation of
-four substitute prices by the food
administration. The vote upon the
motion showed an unanimous opin-
ion in its favor. Prior to the vote,
however, many delegates felt the
urge to declare their righteous indig-
nation at the high cost of articles
which consumers were compelled by
food administration rules to buy.
The secretary of the Council was in
structed to communicate the action
of the local Council to other central
organized labor bodies of the state.
In connection with this resolution
committee was appointed to inves-
tigate the local situation with a view
to determining the profits of Olym-
pia merchants upon substitutes for

The Council signified its apprecia-

that local unions be requested to in

FIRST AID CONTRACT CAUSES
FRICTION.

Fifteen shipyard workers became
members of the Laborers, Riggers
and Fasteners Monday night, just
about the usual grist of new men,
bers.
The permanent committee on first
aid contract made report and much
interesting discussion resulted. The
cases Of unsatisfactory service. old
and new, we're gone over and elabo-
rated upon. One of the latest COM
plants was to the effect that an en-
ploye of the shipyards. injured and
taken to the hospital, had been ex-
posed to scarlet fever while there.
The committee has had several ses-
sions with the industrial insurance
commission, and they are due to have
several more conferences. 1t appears
that in spite of the protests of the
men, no improvement in conditions
is noted. Tho employees are assessed
a dollar a month according to the
provisions OF the contract and they
claim that the attention given to the
injured Is far from what 1t should be.
No first aid station Is maintained in
the local yards, as provided for in
the Macy award, special attention
when needed is reported to be wholly
lacking, and appliances for the care
of the injured at the time Of the ac-
cident have not been furnilhed.
The committee is assembling all
its evidence, and will make a deter
mined effort to annul the contract.
One plan suggested is that the en-
ployes refuse to pay the assessment
and put before the industrial insur-
ance board the question of sustaining
the attitude of the men.

MORE ANTHRAX
ON GULF COAST.
Cases Found at Long Beach and Log
town Vaccination Is
Recommended.

Gulfport, Miss, March 27-Dr. D.
S. Taylor, veterinary surgeon, re-
ports that anthrax has been discov-
cred at Long Beach in Harrison coun-
ty, and Logtown in Hancock county,
the latter point being the scene of a
serious outbreak last summer.
DR.. Taylor said this morning that
a COW died at Long Beach last week
under suspicious circumstances
which caused him to send specimen
to the State veterinarian. Yesterday
he was informed that the COW had died
from anthrax.
"My advice to stock owners" saio
DR.. Taylor, sis to vaccinate as vac.
cination is the only thing that will
stay progress of the disease. The an
thrax was bad last summer, but the
appearance of the disease three
months earlier than last summer
threatens a more serious visitation. y
The doctor says that the federal
government is prepared to extend
help where counties or stock owners
will take initial steps to circumvent
the disease but not otherwise.

WALTER WEIGH To
co TO STATE PRISON
Supreme Court of Mississippi Affirms
Decision of Hancock County
Circuit Court.

The decision of the lower court in
the case of Walter McVeigh VS.. State,
appealed from the Circuit Court of
Hancock county, was affirmed by a
four-to-two majority by the Supreme
Court of the State Monday. Walter
McVeigh, charged with the murder of
Sam Walker at Cedar Lake, near BIZ
loxi, was convicted in September at
Bay st. Louis and appealed to the
Suprme Court of the State. He will
be taken to the State penitentiary
within the next few days. In regard
to the decision of the Supreme Court
in this and another case, the Jack
son correspondent of the New Or
leans Times-Picayune says Tuesday
morning:
The Court had up for decision in
banc, two murder. cases in each of
which sentence of life Imprisonment
was imposed: That of Walter Nc
Weigh VS.. State, appealed from the
Circuit Court of Hancock county,
on change of venue from Harrison
county; that Of George Thomas VS..
State, appealed from the Circuit
Court of Holmes county. The deci
sions of the lower court were in each
instance affirmed by four to-two
majority. In both these cases the
technicality, which has been a sore
spot in the law of criminal procedure
and the palladium to which ingenious
criminal lawyers have resorted for
a new trial, was set up, that is the
temporary absence of the accused
from the courtroom at some stage of
the trial. However, by the action of
the court in the two cases above, this
flaw in jurisprudence has been remov-
ed. In the McVeigh case, in which an
opinion was rendered by Judge Smith
it was held that the accused was not
constructively absent from the trial.

ing was presented to the court which

LIGHT KEEPER
EFFECTS RESCUE.
Richard Steen of the Cat Island Light
Reaches Man In Water in
In Time To Save Him.

Last Thursday night about 10
O'Clock the light house keeper at Cat
Island heard motor boat running
outside of the light and shortly after
heard some one loudly crying for
help. The keeper, whose name IS
Richard Steen, put out as quick as he
could and made for the direction
from which came the cries. About a
quarter of mile away he found a
man swimming around helplessly and
also a motor boat running around IN
a circle.
Steen picked the man up and
brought him to the light house where
he revived him, though ne showed
strong signs OF beiEg overcome by
exhaustion. He then went Tor the
boat and was surprised to flnd a man
living on the deck apparently dead.
He too was brought to the hghc
house and both were taken care OF
until they were able to leave. upon
Investigation the man found on the
boat was found to have been lntoXl-
cate1. &c
The motor boat was the Havana OF
Biloxi and the two men were James
Pavnes and William Ladner, also OF
BILOXI. 1t is said Steen just feached
Pavne in time to save him. Steen
has been keeper Of the Cat Island

NEW LIBERTY LOAN
IS THREE BILLION.
Bonds VIII Be Non-Conversible =
Expenditure of America Much
Below Estimates.

Washington, March 26.-Secretary
McAdoo announced last night that
the amount of the third Liberty
Loan would be three billion dollars at
A 1-2 per cent, and that all over sub
scriptions would be accepted.
The new bonds will be non-conver-
tible. but bonds of the first and sec
ond Liberty Loans may be convertible
into the new four and quarter per
cent securities.
Authority to issue S4,500,0O0,00O
in bonds in addition to the S3,666,-
100000 already authorized and un-
issued is proposed in new loan legis-
lation prepared for submission to Con-
gress, so that the total amount may
be issued is S8, 100000
Mr.. McAdoo said expenditures of
the United States and the allied gov
ernments had been much below esti-
mates and that cosequently it was
not necessary to make the loan larger
than three billion dollars.
Congress will be asked for authOrl-
ty to make additional loans to the al
lies during the coming summer. The
decision to make the new bonds in
convertible, the secretary announced,
was reached in order to put an end
to the expectation of higher interest
rates.
