EDITORIAL COMMENT
Alien By-P Products.

The sentiment against ag1-
tators among workers is but
natural. American corpora
tions however have so thoroly
inoculated this country with
foreign labor that the creep
ing IN of the ag1tators is IN
the nature of retributive
byproduct acquired by giving
seven tenths of the railroad,
factory and mining work of
America to aliens. Like the
Southwest Cotton Growers IN
importing lot of Mexican
cotton pickers, they have in
troduced the devastating men
ece of the red boil weevil and
every state IN the south will
be expected to quarantine all
Arizona cotton products.

Mining Congress Secretary's
Interesting Letter.

The American Mining Con-
gress in session at ST. Louis
this week, according to per-
sona1 letter received here as
follows, has taken up a hint
from the editor of the STATE
MINER to invite representa-
tives of the miners to their
conferences, in the hope that
President Wilson's idea of col
lective bargaining might pre-
vail among the big mining
companies who have not yet
adopted leasing methods:

Editor of STATE MINER: I

your note and will say it is
the purpose of the American
Mining Congress to be abso-
lutely fair in our program.

no bolshevic radical talk will
be pulled off.
Frankly, Mr.. Watson, it is
time America thought along
American lines. We are in
full and complete sympathy
with labor IN any reasonable
proposition, and | think from
your knowledge of the min
ing industry you will agree
that no one knows the value
of collective bargaining more
than do the mining operators
themselves, but the tendency
Of strikes the past few years
has been toward seizure rather
than local conditions, wages,
or otherwise. Mining opera
atOrs have been and are com
ing to be and thus far have
been free from. many unfair
demands except those put
/ forth by such radicals as at
tempted to control the Butte
situation awhile back. The
American Mining Congress
counsels fairness in all things
dealing between men, en-
ployer or employed. If you
recall a recently published
editorial in our journal, that
am proud to say l myself
wrote, Across the Table, "
you will see the attitude we
are taking; but there have
been so many surprises IN
the development of unfair,
autocratic labor demands dur
ing the last few weeks, that
one is prone to wonder if it is
not true to a certain extent
we in the u. S. are forgetting
that this is America and not
a country of serfs, like Rus
sia. We will be glad to get
any constructive suggestions
you can make, and while they
may not all be adopted, they
will all be carefully weighed
and some Of them utilized.
We strongly want this con-
vention to develop something
of permanent value in the re-
adjustment of labor and in
dustry back to as nearly nor

a war. We have been delay

the situation was most hope

were prepared to hold confer

leaders of the so-called steel
strike has, l fear, shattered
these beyond early recovery.

MARY PlCKFORD
SUBMITS PLAN
FOR FAIRGROUNDS

The "Mary Pickford Fairgrounds"
is the name of the ideal recreation
grounds which are to become con-
spicuous part of the "Robal Inn'', the
model hotel for shipbuilders at Los
Angeles Harbor, which will shortly
throw open its doors to 200 guests.
The plans offered by the popular
little film favorite were chosen from
among score or more submitted,
and much to Little Mary's surprise
she was awarded prize of $25. Miss
Pickford's plan was submitted at
the suggestion of Col. Adna Clarke,
commander of Fort Macarthur, who
knew of the little stars recognized
interest in humanity in general and
the working classes in particular.
The prize was offered by the Har-
Dor Housing Corporation and the
check was delivered to Miss Pickford
by l.. l.. Elliott, treasurer. The lit
tie screen actress turned the money
over to the Boy Scout troops which
have headquarters at Los Angeles
Harbor, and which have been drilled
by Colonel Clarke who has been des-
ignated Scout Master by the War
Department.

Mystery UnsOlved
In Island Pond
Continued from page y

good night to Inspector Belknap on
the street and went to his home.
No one heard him enter the house.
No one heard a shot fired although a
man and his wife occupied a room
next to his. The first sound that
aroused the household was cry "I'm
shot" and the falling of a body in
the hall. The other roomers and
Capt. Randall rushed into the hall to
find young Flanders dead in a big
pool of blood. He was fully clothed
except for his outside and inside
coat On his bed which was undis-
turbed was a rifle, an automatic re-
volver and an old fashioned western
revolver with a muzzle seven inches
long. The rifle was fully loaded as
was the automatic. But one chamber
of the other gun had been used.
If Flanders was shot by the bull
let from this revolver it must have
been by someone who was awaiting
his arrival in his room and when he
threw the weapon on the bed had
jumped from a hiding place and fired
point blank at the young officer. An
open window in the, officers room led
to the roof of shed. 1t was possible
for, someone to have entered his
room by this means without detec-
ton. If the bullet did not figure in
the tregedy at all but was an old
blank Inspector Flanders had left in
his gun then he may have been shot
by someone standing outside the
window of the shed near the house,
Dr.. Brigham H. Stone of Burling
ton who performed the autopsy has
the bullet which caused Flanders
death and his examination may tell
whether it was bullet from Elan
ders' gun or that from another
weapon.
If the shot came from outside the
room it seems strange that in the
dead of night the crack of the gun
was not heard by anyone in the town.
There are houses close by and per-
sons who were asleep with their win
dows open did not hear the sound of
a gunshot.
IF Flanders committed suicide it
was the ac5 of a man not in his
right mind and there was no indi-
en- - tu' that the Young officer was
as happy ard contented as anyone
could be up to the time of the trag-
cd. IL letters and acts in the town
left nothing for him to worry about.
lie had no love affairs and TO finan-
cial affairs to worry him.
The theory of accidental death
seems hardly possible. The inspector
was familiar with firearms. The gun
with the blank cartridge was in the
center where it had fallen upon a
soft comforter. This certainly would
not have caused the hammer FOL

strike the bullet with such force as
to explode it. Flanders was fatally
wounded by the bullet and never had
a chance to place the gun upon the
bed after the shooting. The bullet
ploughed through his right breast
severing an artery which caused his
death in a very few minutes. He
barely staggered to the door shouting
I'm shot" and died. There is no indi-
cation that the gun came in contact
with the other weapons if Flanders
had thrown it onto the bed as he
probably would not have done. The
bullet entered his chest straight and
not at an angle which would dispel
the accidental death theory unless
the officer was examining the gun

shooting.
In all its phases the case is one of
the most mysterious that the officers
have had to deal with in many years
in this section of the state. 1t is

Ny word, as we might say if we
were British, but this fellow Bryant
Washburn is turning out some
srappy farces, don't you know.
Right on the heels of "a Very Good
Dung Man." which was generally
acknowledged to have touched high
water mark in the field of picture
farce comedy comes love Insur-
ance," which rivals it all down the
line.
Remember the original situations
that made the former picture so good
when they were developed by the
producing artists and when the star
stepped in and started to mix things
up? Such original ideas aren't lying
around in every scenario editors
desk not by long shot. but here we
find "Love Insurance" introducing US
to more situations just as original
and every bit as entertaining as those
that went to make up "a Very Good
Young Man"
You can get suggestion of what
merry stuff the picture develops into
when we inform. you that the star
takes the role of Dick Minot, a
Lloyds insurance agent. Lloyds, you
know, insures you against the rain
and the rent and all that, but Dick
pulls a new one when he writes out
a policy insuring a bally English lord
against failure to marry an American
heiress.
The real fun starts when Dick falls
in love with the girl himself and he
finds himself bound to stand around |
and prevent anything from prevent
ing the marriage, the while wishing
the deuce that he could prevent it
himself.
It's the old question of Glove or
luty" put into delightful farce
and Washburn just revels in the va
tious complications that befall him
n the role of Dick. And they were
some complications that just had to
pc funny when Earl Derr Biggers

The Truth About Pine Island
and the Standard Oil Company of Louisiana

The Pine Island producers in the of their propaganda
have grave doubts the good faith of the Standard Oil Com
pany of Louisiana in its handling of Pine Island crude under
listing market conditions Some have gone far intimate
that the Standard Oil and the other pipe line companies
conspiracy sange the market and thus freeze the pro-
ducers and get control of the field
The correspondence that follows will prove how earnestly the
Standard Oil Company of Louisiana far from restricting the
market and negecng opportunities Pine Island crude
has sought every quarter for outlets for the production Of that
