whom shall be a Trade Union mem
ber."
League members state that ''prac-
ticaIly every case that comes be-
fore the National War Labor Board

LACK OF COAL
MEANS DEATH
Fuel Officer Says Untitled
Munition Orders Mean
Slain Soldiers.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Sept. 10. - Gen
trophe. We cannot fill Pershings or
ders In full because the United States
cannot make sufficient steel this win
ter. A shortage in steel results almost
entirely from lack of coal.
Keep this in mind and then look
forward to the events of the coming
spring. We shall have the drive. We
shall succeed in 1t. but some time In
February or March. or whenever the
time has come, Gen. Pershing will sit
down with a pencil in hand, will fg-
ure UP the exact deficit in the filling
of his orders for munitions. With
military formulas now well recog-
nized, he will figure in place of those
munitions how many extra men must
be put into the battle to be killed"
These were the words of p. b.
Moves. director of conservation Of the
United States Fuel Administration, in
an address tonight before the annual
convention of the National Associa-
ton of Stationary Engineers, at Gin
cinnati, Ohio.
Cold Mathematics.
Mr.. Noyes continued:
This is no IdHCllul StdlcHlsHt. IL
is now possible to treat, in any ag-
gressive movement, the question of
munitions or of casualties as inter-
changeable quantities. So many thou
sand American youths must be thrown
into the hopper for every thousand
tons Of munitions which are short.
with this background. / know that
discussion with any man present OF
wastage Of coal or of coal to be used
for any Industrial or economic con-
sideration, would be very one-sided.
You will go Just as far as any Of us
in Washington in urging that no con-
sideration be given to any economic
compromise with the coal supply
which balances civil prosperity against
mems lives.
This statement of the case sounds
tragic, but the worst of it is that 1t
is terribly true, so true that I feel
confident IL every American business
could see the actual facts as they
come to us In Washington there would
be no need of regulations or rules,
only directions. No man here would
spare himself either labor to save
the last pound of waste or the sacri-
fee involved in devoting the fuel and
material we need most to helping to
complete the Pershing program"

IDAHO EXPECTS EVERY
MAN TO DO HIS FULL DUTY

pie of the state today Governor Alex
ander says in part:
''The Liberty bond is an emblem of
American citizenship. 1t is worth
100 cents on the dollar and bears in
terest besides. The possessor thereof
will have the evidence of having per-
formed his duty to his country and
to the world. Let no man hesitate, in
fact he who puts his money in Liberty
bonds has the highest security known
It never depreciates and it is an in
surance policy against future want.
Let all the people join in this great
movement for which we hope so much
and for which so much blood has been
shed SO that this government Of ours,
a government for the people, by the
people and of the people shall not per-
ish from the earth"
Governor Lynch of the federal re-
serve bank recommends to the Idaho
state committee that men who have
enlisted in the army or navy be not
solicited to buy bonds. They have
made their sacrifice by enlisting, he
holds.

Liberty loan drive the state central
committee in charge and responsible
for Idaho's full quota of $8,600,O0O
confidently looks forward to every
county in the state and its citizens do
ing their full duty. The committee
holds it to be the plain duty Of every
one to see that necessary financial
assistance is given the government in
the great worlds crisis when civiliza-
ton hangs in the balance.
Every dollar that goes into a Lib

of defense and makes the western
front where history is being written
more able to withstand the onslaughts
of the ambitious and ruthless Hun.
Chairman Davis of the state commit

GREAT MUSICAL
EVENT TONIGHT
COMMUNITY CHORUS, ENTERTAIN
MENT FOR RED CROSS BENEFIT
is STAGED

The 'stage is set and everything
is in readiness for the greatest music
al treat Moscow has enjoyed for years,
which will begin at 8:15 o'clock to-
night in the Methodist church. The
program appears elsewhere in this
issue. The last rehearsal was held at
4 o'clock this afternoon. Mrs. Mabel
Dilts, the noted soloist from Spokane,
is here and now all that is needed is
to pack the house so that standing
room will be at a premium. The en-
tire proceeds go to the Red Cross and
the entertainment will be worth double
the low admission fee of so cents
charged. The principal part of the
program will be "Gallia" motet or
cantata with soloist and chorus.
"Gallia'' is motet for chorus and
soprano solo. Written by Gounod
when he was depressed by the fall
of Paris into the hands of the Ger
mans, it might in theme, at least,
apply to the United States at this
time.
A short prelude in E minor opens
the motet. The opening chords give
somber setting to the. composition.
These give way to a rapid and nerv-
Gus repetition Of chord passages
which accompany gloomy, evil-por-
tending solo in the bass. The city,
solitary and deserted, is then describ-
ed, the orchestra all the while con-
tinuing the restless accompaniment
The solo part is introduced with the
background of the chorus. A strong
unison passage opens the prayer OF
the city to the Lord for mercy A
modulation is made into E major. The
solo introduces the finale theme
which is soon taken up by the chorus.
A thrilling climax is attained with
solo, chorus, and full orchestration
Mrs. Mabel Metz Dilts of Spokane
has been engaged to sing the solo
part. A brilliant dramatic soprano
voice is required for this, and critics
of the northwest have acknowledged
her fully capable of fulfilling such
requirements. A large chorus Will
be used and an augmented orchestra
For her solo number Mrs. Dilts
will sing with Verdure Clad" from
Haydon's oratorio "The Creation. Z
This is brilliant solo of the flood
coloratura style and forms fitting
number for the foritura possibilities
of Mrs Dilts' voice.
Other numbers viii be sung, not
ably "Inflammatus'' from Rosinni's
"Stabat Mater(," this composition, also
requiring soprano soloist. Gounod's
s'By Babylon's Wave" a vocal ar
rangement of the "Blue Danube" and
some lighter works will be given.

OBTAIN JURY
IN L.W.W. CASE
TRIAL NOW ON
TWELVE MEN TO DECIDE FATE OF
CLIFFORD, HAWKINS AND
HERD SECURED
FARMERS ON THE JURY
JURY TO BE KEPT TOGETHER UN-
TIL VERDICT IS REACHED,
IS COURTS ORDER

The jury to try the case of the state
VS.. T. e. Hawkins, H. E. Herd and
Charles Clifford, charged with Grim
inal syndicalism, has been secured
and the testimony is being taken in
the district court today. The jury
was secured just before the noon adj
journment and were sworn in and
placed In charge of G. w. Barge, as
special deputy sheriff and bailiff, who
was given instructions to keep the
jurors together They are boarding
at the Idaho hotel and have a long
table reserved for their special use.
They will not be permitted to sep
arate until the case is finished.
The jury is composed Of F. I. Cum
ningham, Troy; Mark E. Newhall.
Genesee; Lafayette Keene, Moscow;
William Trotter, Princeton; R. l..
Strong, Cora precinct; L. P. Schulz,
Moscow; J. w. Pence, Troy; John
Meyer, Genesee; Peter Hagan, Blaine;
Peter Clyde, Potlatch, and ]. T. Bak-
an, Moscow. Nearly all are farmers.
When the jury returned from lunch
the defense moved that the case be
dismissed on the grounds that the in
formation did not charge a crime. The
motion was overruled. A second mo
ton, with the same idea, but worded
differently, was also overruled. The
defense then moved that the witnesses
be excluded from the court room while
testimony was being taken. The re-
quest was granted, with the exception
that it does not apply to officers of the
court or county.
f. L. Moore made the opening ad-
dress to the jury, telling what the
state expects to prove-that the I. W..
w. is a criminal organization, that it
advocates and practices lawlessness
and that the defendants are members
of it and advocated crime. The de-
fense waived its opening statement
and o. J. Hoskin of Spokane was call
ed as the first witness for the state.
Hoskin is an expert accountant and
had formerly been employed by the
Washington State board of account
ancy. He testified that he had been
employed as an auditor for the Log
gers club and had done such work
for the club in checking up. He had
been requested to secure some l. w.
w. literature from the Chicago head
quarters and had secured it. He had
six of the books bought at I. w. w.
headquarters, which were introduced
in evidence and marked with Mr.. Hos
kin's initials and will be introduced
as one Of the states exhibits in the
case.
The jurors not engaged in this trial
were excused until Tuesday morning
and many of them returned to their
homes. The case of Joe Regan, an
alleged l. w. w. charged with the
same crime, follows that of the three
now on trial, but will probably not be
reached before Tuesday.
