On this move he pulled out and dropped back about mile and a half but left his guns on the same line of fire as in the old position. He kept up his firing from this position for about two weeks and never had a shell come anywhere near his battery. The Ger other position every day for the two weeks perior, so you see, the cap tain just out t-gUessed Jerry.
 About a mile from this position was where I was located with the sup ply company and we were sleeping in the edge of a woods. Batteries were located all around us and every night we would try to sleep, but it was i'm possible many times, as the shells from the German batteries were going over the tree tops from all directions, it seemed. We would lie there and listen to the shells whistle as they approach ed, all of the time wondering whether one was marked for yourself. We stay ed there for a week before we decided to move back about 12 miles. so we would not be under the fire of Jerry's guns. At another time when I was at regimental headquarters house in fairly good condition-the Germans opehed fire and dropped shells all around the building for two hours, but never hit the house at all"

Alabama Labor Federation Demands
Compensation Law Patterned
After Ohio Act

Tuscaloosa, Ala.-Among the i'm
portant measures on the legislative
program unanimously adopted at the
recent convention of the Alabama
Federation of Labor is the demand
for a workmen's compensation law
patterned after the Ohio act. In
Ohio the law prohibits the partici-
patton of private insurance com
panies, operating for profit, in com
pensation business, and provides for
an exclusive state insurance fund to
provide compensation benefits, which
are based on two-thirds of wages.
This plan in Ohio, while providing
literally for injured workers, and
their families, resulted last year in
a saving of over $5,000,000 to the
industries of the state.

accordingly, reduce their original
estimate to the cost of the mems
demands.
With the basic eight-hour day es-
tablished, the carmen's earnings will
only amount to 1920 on the minimum
rate, and increasing to $408 per day
on the maximum rate. 1t must not
be assumed, however, that all car
men regularly obtain full time, as
over 20 per cent of the men work
either as extras or on short special
runs. In most cases these men work
irregular hours and cannot get in
full time. AS a consequence their
earnings will amount to considerably
less than $500 per day.
To anyone who has to maintain a
home in this city in these times, no
argument is necessary to prove that
this wage is quite inadequate to meet
the abnormal increase in the cost of
living, and it seems incredible that
the men were forced to a strike in
order to secure it.
Electrical Workers Big Gain
The Electrical Workers agreement
has been signed by the B. c. Electric
and the Western Power Company
A few minor changes were made
from the original but all the import
ant issues were agreed to The
scale calls for from $3.50 to $500
for all journeymen, an increase of
$1.25 per day in the case of the
Western Power. The scale for ap-
prentices is from $4.20 up. A very
important item which the companies
agreed to is the closed shop which
gives the Electrical Workers jur-
isdiction over all electrical workers
employed by the companies and en-
ables the union to enforce it's work
ing conditions. The eight-hour day,
double time for overtime and
thiity-day clause for the reopening
of negotiations are--all embodied in
the new agreement along with many
other lesser important points.
Solidarity Wins
The brotherhood presented blan-
ket agreement to the above men,
toned copanies and the B. C. Tele-
phone Company early in June for
acceptance by July l. The B. c.
Telephone Company came through
at the last minute and avoided a
threatened strike, but the other
companies stood out until Wednes-
day night. Everything was tied up
completely and not a car moved
from July to July 10 and the men
are jubilant over their victory.

ported that the Everett Theatre

Prospects Bright For Compensation
Law in North Dakota

Fargo, n. D.-Plans for work
mems compensation were outlined
by the North Dakota Federation of
Labor at it's recent annual conven-
ion for submission to the next leg
Slatule. North Dakota, largely de-
voted to agriculture, is the only
northern state that has thus far
failed to enact a compensation law.
This year, however, closer co-opera-
tion than before is being manifested
between labor and farmers, as is
evidenced by the resolution adopted
by the State Federation affirming
'its friendship for and confidence in
the organized farmers of North
Dakota" With organized farmers
holding political power to an ex-
ceptional degree, this new getting
together of labor and agriculture
promises favorable action in this
state now that wars increasing
pressure upon the industrial army
has accentuated the need of full
protective measures for labor.

MONEYS LAST
APPEAL MONDAY

Tom Moneys last appeal to the
Supreme Court of California will
come up for argument next Monday.
In the event that this appeal is
denied the case will be out of the
courts finally and MONEYS fate
will rest entirely with Governor
Stephens.
Commitment papers for Thomas
J. Mooney were issued Tuesday by
Superior Judge Griffin, and Mooney
was taken to San Quentin peni-
tentiary Wednesday to be hanged
within 60 days"
MONEYS attorneys and friends
believe Governor Stephens will exer-
else executive clemency before the
day of execution.
There is little hope that the Su-
preme Court will in any way change
its former decisions; then must Cali
fornia stand before the world as
having taken a mans life under
such unjust, unreasonable and un-
merciful law as the following, ex-
pounded by Judge Griffin when he
for the second time sentenced
Mooney to death:
I'm this state it is the settled
law that a judgment cannot be set
aside because it is predicated up
on prejured testimony, or because
material evidence is concealed or
suppressed.
with all the harshness and sever
ity of this rule and with a knowl-
edge that injustice must at times
be done in its application it is the
law defined by the Supreme Court
of this state and by it this court
is bound.
"If the obligation of the district
attorney to present only competent
and legitimate testimony be violated
and perjured testimony produced
or material evidence suppressed
