tivity by the murder of policeman and
later death from wounds of another man
as the result of a revolver fight in a
saloon, Chief of Police Garrity today Or

Provision Misunderstood.
Results of Examination.

Twenty-seven of these men had been
approved for service by the Civil
Service Commission. eleven rejected
because their disa ability totally in
capacitated them for the work. with
tie remaining cases yet uIdeter-
mined. and that fOrty-two men of the
total of 119 who have completed train
ing had been placed in remunerative
positions. OF the remainder of the
men who have completed training, DR..
Presser said, thirty-five will enter ad-
ditional training in the fall, twelve are
pending placement and twelve have
not been reported upon. The associa-
tion's statement with respect to place
ments is thus obviously untrue" the
director said.

CHARGE OF |NEFF|C|ENCY|
AGAINST BOARD DENIED.
DR.. Prosser, Director of Vocational
Education, Answers Disabled
Veterans Accusations.

Charges made by the Association of
Disabled Soldiers. Sailors and Ma
rines regarding inefficiency in the ad
ministration of the Federal Board of
Vocational Education were denied in
circular letter to members of Con-
gress yesterday from DR.. Charles A.
Prosser. the director.
Replying to the associations charge
that hundreds of men have been COM
PEELED to depend upon the charity of
friends for months after applying for
vocational training, because of the
boards delay in arranging for pay
ment of compensation, DR.. Prosser
said that the board had not the au-
thority to make such payments or
place the men in training until COM
pensation for disability is awarded
by the bureau of war risk insurance.
Provision Misunderstood.
This provision of the rehabilitation
act, he said. had given rise to much
Misunderstanding. He also asserted
that under the act it is the function
of the board to provide support only
for disabled men who have been
in need of rehabilitation.
Denying other charges brought by
the association. the director said no
deductions have been made from the
training pay of disabled men because
of money earned incidental to their
training work; that the board has done
everything to assist the total of sixty
one men who have applied through the
board for civil service positions to OBJ
tain such positions.

After nearly seventeen years pushing

Echo, Deed H. Magyar one OF the oldest
and most genial country newspaper pub
fishers in eastern washington, has sold
his paper to a trio OF North Dakota
printers and newspaper men and steps

earned vacation and rest this winter.
spending his time in California which Is
the goal of great many residents Of
this north land every winter who have the
time and spondulicks to spare. The Echo
has been a welcome exchange at this Of
flee ever since the Gazette was estab-
lished. Knowing the gentleman personally
an dliking him the better after every
meeting, we regret that he has retired
from tn newspaper game in north CEN
trail Washington. but congratulate him
upon this opportunity for brea thing
spell from the treadmill monotony of a
print shop. He turns the Echo over to
good hands, for all three partners go to
Leavenworth with the highest recon-
mendatons from the citizens of the COM
munity in North Dakota where they were
prominent residents for a number of
years. And mentioning the Echo we
might add that Mr.. Magyar beat us out of
the name echo" for a newspaper nearly
seventeen years ago. That was the time
we started the Riverside Argus. 1t was
our intention to name the young bantIing
1.-THE Echo, but Magyar nosed in ahead a
few days with his Leavenworth Echo, and
we did not consider it fair to the ear
drums of the population that there should
be d multiplicity of echoes in the same
general neighborhood. Hence the Riveg-
side Argus when a paper was at last
launched in that balliwick.

The strike on tAe part of the coal min
ers OF the country is not a legitimate
strike but a conspiracy against the gov
eminent by the leaders of the unions that
dominate that class of workmen. The
strike was called at a time when winter
is coming on in the northern states, and
when 1t would naturally cause the great
est amount of.suffering and distress. That
suffering and distress, should the strike
be protracted and the output of the coal
greatly curtailed, would fall upon the
weak helpless and innocent. Those people
against whom the strike Is aimed would
suffer only from the temporary loss caus-
ed by the closing of the mines. 1t Is the
great mass of the people all over the land
upon whom the blow will fall. 1t was Il
carefully planned demonstration precipi-
tated for the purpose of forcing the gov
eminent to accept any terms that the
unions might see fit to insist upon. and
was fastened without justfiable excuse.
The operators offered to arbitrate In ac-
cordance with the request Of the presi-
dent, but the heads of the miners unions
treated the presidents appeal with con-
tempt. The courts issued an injunction
against the strikers, and that Is the only
step the government could take in the
premises. without surrendering its SOW
erignty The paramount duty Of the gov
eminent is to protect the lives and prop
erty of its citizens. and if the government
remains qulescent In the face OF this bold
threat of class against the life Of the
nation, then the government of the United
States becomes impotent and the people
would live under the dictation OF class
instead of a democratic form of govern
ment. The authortieso as requested by
the president and congress are taking
steps to meet the crisis and we believe
that one hundred million of the people
of the United States stand behind the
authorities H.
try from the Russian brand of chaotic
anarchy.

Attorney General Palmer Is playing no
Ifavorites. After issuing a restraining or

lers the operators and dealers protested
against the government fixing a max
limum price tor coal during time when a
shortage was threatened Mr.. Palmer at
ionce served notice to the prospective
Iprofiteers that the government would not
stand for any gouging of the public. He

That's the stuff. If the power, of the

the power of the courts will be used to

After weeks of discussion of the league
of nations as part of the proposed peace
terms, a final vote upon the proposition
is to be reached this week, according to
an agreement entered into by senators
on both sides of the question. Much time
has been wasted as much of the discus
sion has been profitless, greatly to the
neglect of questions of vital Importance
affecting domestic affairs. Congress could
be much better engaged making provis
ions for saving America, instead of chew

Last week at Spokane four ex-service
men were debarred from working on Job
because they were not union men. Union
men protested and the nom union men had
to give up that chance of making AZ living.
Such an incident as that makes the claim
that this is free country laughable
farce. &C shows that many union men SO
critically exacting as to their own rights
have little respect for the rights of 9TH
ers. Under this government every man
should have the right to work for his liv-
ing. and enjoy the privileges the constitu-
ton vouchsafes him of life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness, no matter what
may, be his social condition, his political
or religious principles. or whether he be-
longs to this. that or the other organiza-
ton. Every man has the inalienable right
to earn a living, and when unions question
that right they are alternating the conf
dence and good will of every man and wo-
man in the land who believes in fair play
and no favors. The public as whole has
always believed in trade unionism, but If
trade unions are to be so arbitrary that
men outside Of the pale Of those organiza-
tons are not to be permitted a fair
change to earn their daily bread unionism
is going to be discredited and fall into
disrepute in this land.

At the present time. with the miners,
the steel workers, the longshoremen OF
New York and other crafts and trades out
on strike there are over million men.
producers when actively engaged, out of
work and idle. 1t would be a conservative
estimate to place the wage that these
men receive at an average Of $500 per
day, which would represent loss to Ia
Dor alone of over s5,O000 900 every working
day. Ind that is only portion Of the
loss the country Is suffering from the
strikes Operators are losing heavily and
the public is made to pay more for every
thing entering into daily consumption by
the curtailment OF production. It is almost
a year since the armistice was signed and
strikes are costing the country almost as
much as did the war. This Is an awful
waste Of wealth and energy and some
means should be devised to arbitrate and
settle labor disputes by which both en-
pioyer and employee could be held strict
ly accountable where contracts in good
faith are entered into. The long suffering
public, the ultimate consumer" Is get
ting very, very tired of this constant agi-
tation with its accompanying disruption
of business, and constant menace to the
peace and safety of the people.

for a nip. We remember in the early days
lof Spokane Falls. Gene Hyde, who did
Iduty as the single peace officer of that

epidemic Of drunkenness among the In
ldians. 1t was against the law to sell the
native liquor, so he kept close eye on
saloons mad suspicious characters, and
iyet he could not locate the source of sup

reaches tnlS OFFICE from
reliable sources that much of the grain in
the Nelson country Is still unthreshed.
That Is much of what there was of it.
for the grain yield In that section, like all
lother wheat growing sections of the state
was pretty short this year. Snow coming
on at this time and liable to stay may
damage much Of the wheat that Is still

been the shortage of threshers with a
Istill greater shortage of crews, as some
!! of the outfits had to pull In without full
filling their contracts owing to the diff
Guilty experienced in getting and holding
crews. Some fthe farmers of that local

blity of joining together and purchasing
smaller capacity threshers just for their
own use. 1t would pay the farmers to
cooperate in solving this problem.
The business men Of Okanogan display
ed the right spirit last week. Owing to the
difficulty in securing sufficient assistance
the orchardists near the county seat were
backward with the work of harvesting
| the apple crop when the unexpected cold
| weather came on. In order to save the
| crop business houses in Okanogan were
closed and every available man, woman
and child volunteered to aid in picking
apples. Even the county officials deserted
their posts and contributed assistance. BY
this means much of the crop was saved
that otherwise would have been lost.
