TO GET
BENEFIT OF MONEY
FROM RED CROSS

Mrs. J. w. Caldwell returned the
latter part of last week from Seattle,
where she had been studying Red
Cross work at headquarters. Mrs.
Caldwell made short trip to Camp
Lewis while on the coast, and met
Joe Longfellow. the only Mountain
Home boy she was able to find. She
was unable to see either Frank Hend-
ricks or Jim Stafford, as they were
both In a distant part of the camp
and the stay of her party was short.
It had been expected that the local
red cross would start work on sur
gical dressing within short time,
but at headquarters they were
released from this work on account
OF the canteen work that will be
necessary, and the chapter will be
unable to raise the money for both.

NO VOTE UNLESS
NAME rs ON LIST
OF REGISTRAR

IN the last issue of the Republican
it was stated that voters not regis
tered could swear in their votes
either at the primary or general
election. This is an error. as the
law passed by the last legislature
makes it necessary for everyone de-
string to vote at either election to be
registered beforehand Mountain
Home precinct No. 1, will be register
ed by Mrs. G.. G. Carr, who has an
Office open on the ground floor of the
Bailey building every Saturday, and
No 2 precinct will be registered by
Mrs VILLA Galloway. at the Rose
Bakery This is a matter that voters
do not want to neglect. Last election
a hundred or more persons swore in
their votes, and If they are similarly
negligent this time they will be re-
fused the privilege Of voting.

SHEEP SHEARERS
FAIL IN STRIKE
Owners Take Over Shearing
Plants and Import New
Crews to do Work. Strik-
ers Move to New F'ileds.

A strike of sheepsharers that start
ed in the corrals near here last Fri
day came to head Wednesday
when a crew of workmen from Weiser
came in to take the places of the
striking wool clippers. The strike
was engineered by the local union,
of which man named White is
head, without authorization from the
regular organization. The demand
was for 20 cents sheep for shearing
with free board. The present price
is Is cents and board and the union
scale, as fixed at Butte last winter,
is 12h cents.
1t is stated that the striking men
had told their employers that If this
strike was successful they would go
out again before the end of the
season for Is cents Shearing out
fits belonging to Tom Brady and
1OldGh Dill I1Vdu5 WClC DOuSii pdi ~
in the week by Worth Lee and Dan
Latimore, who at once went to look
ing for new shearing crews, and
were successful in filing up the
ranks of the workers by Tuesday
morning, at which time the strike
was called off and many of the
strikers returned to work.
Sheep shearing is said to be the
hardest work and best paid labor
that is performed in the west Aver
age shearers in machine plants can
clip the wool from two hundred
sheep in a day of nine hours, thus
bringing them in at the wage scale
now in force, $50 or more day
The shearing season lasts for at least
five months, beginning in California
late in the fall, in Arizona in jan
uary and winding up in Montana in
June or early in July Many of the
shearers follow the entire route and
put in a full season. The union is
closely organized and it is stated
that union men will not permit new
men to learn shearing in the plants
where they are employed.
