THE NEWS ALL THE TIME

The increase in membership of the
Associated Press in 1917 represents
more than the combined increase in
the preceding nine years. At present
there are 636 evening newspapers, 391
morning newspapers and 81 Sunday
morning newspapers, or a total of
1893, receiving the service of the AS
ISOLATED Press These newspapers, the
smallest of which receives a 500-word
daily telegraph service, to the largest,
which receives upwards of $4,000
words daily, show a net increase in
the membership of the Associated
Press in the year 1917 of 140, of which
day newspapers.
In 1917 there was a great expansion
in the Morse leased wire service of
the Associated Press, more than 1000
additional miles of wire being added,
making the leased wire system of the
organization over $4,000 miles in
length and more than twice the mile
age of all other press associations
combined.
Receiving the report on these leased
wires, which would stretch more than
twice around the world, are 308 even
ing newspapers, 269 morning news
papers and 48 Sunday morning news.
papers.
While there was a rapid extension
of the leased wire service, the increase
in the number of papers receiving the
Associated Press pony service, OF
services smaller than the Morse leased
wire, was still greater, showing /:
growth of 81 over that of the preceding
year.

service it was necessary to emplo!

Nearly one hundred Associated
Press operators have gone in military
and naval service during the past
year, and 200 others are voluntarily
teaching National army recruits.
News department men have also
joined the colors to such an extent
that there are almost 200 stars in the
Associated Press service flag. The or.
ganization has claimed no exemptions
and has encouraged rather than dis.

part of its staff.
During 1917 the sick benefit fund

That willful destruction was not
merely of the physical property of the
mill, the mine, the factory or the raw
material. There could have been a
destruction of those spiritual assets
of patriotism and mental activity also,
When a man volunteers and gives
to the country all that he has, and
! then the country turns around and de-
stroys that unnecessarily, there is de-
! stroyed not merely the physical but
the mental assets, and such destruc-
ton means the paralysis of the United
States. Happily, the government is
ignoring the clamoring of the Social
list, the anarchist and the paid Ger
man agent that the industries of the
country be stripped either by govern
mental action or by the Bolsheviki
idea of turning the property over to
the workers.
During the present session of the
Sixty'ffth congress man bills will be
introduced dealing with industry, Cen
gress will have to scrutinize these
bills carefully, because there is no way
of telling how seriously legislation
may prove injurious. 1t may be that
legislation which appears perfectly
fair on its face, in its application may
be detrimental. Congress has been
careful of the rights of labor and con-
gress today will be careful of the
rights of industry. By conserving both
labor and industry much will be
gained, but congress has a right to
demand from both labor and industry
absolutely full measure, and without
full measure the government can
not carry on to a quick and easy solu-
ton the problems which confront it.
Congress may be absolutely fair TO
industry in every respect except one,
and that is by giving immunities and
privileges to labor which are both
unnecessary and undesirable. Indus
try is entitled to equal privileges with
labor, and labor is entitled to equal
privileges with industry. Congress
must see that there is no discrimina-
ton in the attitude of the government
towards industry or towards labor, nor
must industry be penalized for the
benefit of labor, nor labor exploited
for the benefit of industry. There
fore the duty of congress today is a
serious one. 1t must hold the force
equal between the worker, the manu-
facturer, the banker, the clerk, the
women of the country, and even the
children. There must be equal par
ticipation of all in the work of win
ming the war, and there must be spe-
cial privileges for none. Congress is

TO ENFORCE
SUNDAY CLOSING
ON BAKERIES
HAVE BEEN ALLOWED
TO KEEP OPEN TO 10
Police See No Reason Why the
+. Bread Makers Should Be
Favored Thus.

Beginning tomorrow, bakeries
will not be allowed to keep open
on Sunday, but the rule for Sun
day closing that has been enforc-
ed against all other stores will
be made to apply to them.
With the exception of drug
stores and soda fountains and a
few such places specifically ex-
cepted, the city ordinance pro-
vides that business places shall
not be opened Sunday.
It has been customary, how
ever, for the bakeries to remain
open Sunday mornings until 10
o'clock.
This practice will now be dis
continued, the police having re-
ceived orders to enforce the Sum-
day closing ordinance as regards
the bakers.

JOSEPHINE
SHAFT, TRENCH
Mine, DEEPER
WILL BE PUT DOWN
200 FEET FURTHER
New Shaft Shows 2-FOOt Pay
Streak, Ore Going 5 Per
Cent Copper.

This week the Trench mine, in
the Harshaw district, Patagonia
mountains, was visited by Mr..
Max Rothschild of San Fl,
cisco, who is president of the
Trench Mining company and a
heavy shareholder in the enter
prise.
President Rothschild remain
ed at the camp two days, making
a thorough examination, and
finding the developments and
work done very satisfactory.
Under the management of Mr..
John Hoy a fine hosting engine,
air compressor, machine drills;
etc., have been installed, and the
machinery plant is fitted to nisk
to considerable depth.
The visit of Mr.. Rothschild re-
suited in his approval of a propo-
sition made by Mr.. Hoy that the
old Josephine shaft, through
which Richard Farrell extracted
much high grade ore when he
was operating the mine in the
years preceding 1896, shall be
sunk zoo feet deeper from SO
feet to 700 feet in depth; and
Mr.. Hoy will begin work at once.
In the new shaft considerable
good ore has been taken out, and
the results have been very sat-
isfactory. A pay streak two
feet in width has been develop
ed, and that has yielded some ore
that went as high as 5 per cent
copper, being high in silver also.
The lowest in value gave 10 ozs.
silver per ton and 2 per cent cop
per.
The policy of the Trench COM
pany is to continue development
and not until a large and perma-
nent body of ore is exposed
ready for stopping will any
thought be given to the erection
of a mill. The formation leads
to a belief that there is such an
ore body in the ground there,
and Manager Hoy will go at it's
development in a systematic and
miner-ike manner.

LONDON, June 28.-On a
front of three and one-half miles,
the British troops in Flanders
advanced their lines in a local
operation to a depth of nearly a
mile, taking 300 prisoners and 20
machine guns.
The hamlets of Lepenetto,
Merterue and La Bocque were
captured.
The British casualties were
slight, Field Marshal Haig an
nounced in his night report.
The action took place to the east
of Nieph Forest.
