Five and One Half Million Workers Back

(the railroad brotherhoods) the Sims
bill is now before you" said Mr.. Stone
II speak as the voice of these two mil
lion men, delegated by them to announce
TO this committee and to the people of
this country that they are supporting
this measure with all the strength and
all the unity OF purpose that can move
so large a body Of citizens.
"Joined with us and represented by
Mr. Morrison is the American Fedora
ton of Labor, adding three million and
u. half men to that body of railway EN-
s ployes, who instituted this movement.
"In the industrial development of this
country great organizations of capital
first appeared as employers. Individual
works, following the example set by cap
ital organized as employees. Their pur-
pose was to secure better working condi-
tions and larger measure of return for
their labors. The full force of capitalist
Sc organizations has been set against la
Dor to hold and to keep all the profits
of industry The strength of the labor
unions has been exerted to wrest from
capital some share of the profits for the
wage earners.
Both Could Ignore Public Now and Then.
"There has been a perpetual struggle
by the workers to mtainin a tolerable
standard of existence; on the part of
capital to amass greater profits. AT
times both sides could ignore the needs
of the public. But now the very growth
of the labor organizations has brought
into their ranks great mass of the con-
sumers. The large number of the wage
earners now constitute a large percentage
of the people. The extension of indus
try has changed the nature of the pre-
vious struggle.

wages he must spend for the necessaries
of life In addition he is always com

Washington, D. c., Aug. 6.-Labor now
demands that America become the home
of industrial freedom as it has become
a land of political freedom, Warren S.
Stone, grand chief of the brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, said to-day in
appearing before the House interstate
commerce committee in support of organ
ized labor's plans for public ownership
and private operation of the railroads.
Declaring that American democracy
was controlled by an autocracy in in
dustry, Mr. Stone argued that there
could be no solution and no lowering of
the cost of living as long as consumers
had to pay extortionate profits on their
own earnings in purchasing the neces-
saries of life.
Labor's belief in the Sims bill, embody
ing the railroad employees plan for the
solution of the railroad problem, was
declared by Mr.. Stone to be profound.
in this plan, he said, the workers raised
the banner of democracy in control of in
dustry and advanced "to a new crusade
with the faith of the Pilgrims"

preference to local merchants. Thus
they secure benefits without one dol

Local Oranges meet twice a month

While the Grange is quite new in

asking an old colored lady what the
people lived on down here, she said:

LEAGUE HAS OPTION
ON WILLISTON PAPER

Williston, Feb. 8. - "There is no
truth in the rumor," said Thomas C.
Hutchinson, city editor Of the Will
liston Graphic, when asked today
whether the newspaper had been sold
to the Nonpartisan league. II will
say, however," Mr.. Hutchinson con-
tinued, shat the league has taken
an option until April l." John A.
Corbett, publisher of The Graphic, is
absent from the city.
A representative Of the Nonpartisan
League was in Williston to arrange
for the option. He was sent in behalf
Of the League by Wells Brinton, man

900. the interest on which is more
than enough to pay the expense OF
the national organization.
It keeps committee on legislation
every day in the year at Washington,
D. c., to look after the interest OF
it's members. In the earlier life Of
the organization, they attempted to
go into politics by supporting a COM
plete ticket pledged to its principles
but the antagonism and bitter feeling
aroused so much enmity, as all strict
ly class political organizations do,
which reacted and would have killed
the Grange, but for the fact that they
changed their tactics and provided a
committee to put their demands to the
party in power. Mr.. Gompers saved
his labor organizations by following
this method. Any person who may
give this subject one minutes thot
will realize that all other class or
ganization as the lawyers, physicians,
bankers, railroad men, packing house
men, manufacturers, mine owners, i'm
plement dealers, hardware men, gro
Gerry men, dry goods merchants, bar
bers, lumber dealers, newspaper men,
etc., follow this plan.
Among the many things which the
National Grange has accomplished I
will mention: Federal Farm Loan
act, which has saved the farmers
many millions of dollars in interest
and its. usefulness is increasing ev-
cry day; Parcels Post law, which
saves millions of dollars to the people
every year; Oleomargarine law, which
saves at least ten cents per pound on
every sale 'of cream by the farmers;
Election of the U. S. senators by
popular vote of the people, and they
are working to get the President and
Vice President so elected; Rural Mail
Delivery, which saves much time to
the farmers in going after their mail;
the raising of the Department Of Ag-
riculture to that of a Member of the
Cabinet, which aided the establish
ment of Experiment Stations in all of
the states; in the 70's the Grange car
ried several railroad cases to the Fed
eral Supreme court, and secured de-
cisions which required railway COM
panies to be subject to control Of the
state acts, thus finding the conditions

AVIATOR VISITS
HOME OF HIS UNCLE
Lieut.. Almy of Fall River, Mass,
Stopped in Minot for a Visit
With Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
Almy.

Lieut.. I. T. Almy, returning to his
home at Fall River, Mass, from ser
vice in the aviation camp at Mather
Field, Sacramento, Cali, stopped for
few days visit at the home of his
uncle, Fred Amy, veteran Great
Northern engineer. This was Lieut..
Almy's first visit to North Dakota
and he is delighted with our progress
sive city.
Lieut.. Amy has been in the SER
vice fourteen months and fully ex-
pected when entering, to have an OPP
portunity to see service in France. He
was transferred from one flying field
TO- another and before he had COM
p1eted his flying course, armistice was
signed. Those completing the fly
ing course are given to understand
that they will be called to some flying
field twice year for practice. In
that way, Uncle Sam will always be
in touch with many thousands of
capable flyers who can be called to
the service on very short notice.
Lieut.. Amy says that flying is the
greatest sport imaginable. Each
aviator has hopes of some day own
ing his own machine but to acquire
a machine like the government uses
for training purposes would cost all
the way from $4,000 to $4,000.
Good durable planes, however, can
be secured for $4,000.
Lieut.. Amy is the son of Peleg
Almy, an old time resident of Swan
sea, Mass. His father has been a
reader Of the Independent for many
years and Lieut.. Amy had a desire
to visit the sanctum Of the paper
which has so long been in THE Amy
household. The Independent acknowl-
edges pleasant call.
Lieut.. Amy is a fine appearing
young man and it is no wonder that
the Huns sued for peace, for they had
visions of countless thousands Of
such men swarming over their land
like myriad of blackbirds.

so delicious. Dave says the oysters
are good during any month which con-
tains the letter "r". The season
ends, of course, with April. He says
that the commercial oysters are wash
ed and usually some preservative is
packed with them and thus the natur-
al flavor is destroyed. We would ad-
wise our readers to procure some of
these oysters and see how delicious
and nourishing oysters really are. Mr..
Shorb says the Farmers Market is
doing an enormous business but they
are sadly in need Of fresh beef. They
are paying a good round price for
prime beef and will take any amount
at the going price. They are in the
market for fresh poultry as well and
will pay the highest cash prices.

r. II. Emerson Prizes Old Paper
Highly

Our esteemed friend, R. H. Emer-
son, handed the Independent copy
Of an old copy of Saturday Reporter
published at, his old home, Fond du
Lac, Wis, under date of Oct. 5, 1861
fifty-seven years ago. 1t is a little
five column, four-page paper, and APP
pears odd as compared to the mod
ern paper Of this age. The paper
has been in Mr.. Emerson's possession
during all of these years and is high
ly priced by him.
The merchants did not buy much
advertising space in those days. There
were no large display advertisements
in the paper and no prices were quot
ed. The larger stores merely used
three or four lines Of six-point type
in about half an inch space, giving
their name and location.
Potatoes were quoted at rs cents a
bushel and the editor could not see
the reason for the high price when
the country was full of them.
Two New York gamblers fought a
duel with broad swords. Those were
days when men settled their disputes
by slashing each other until their hon
or was indicated.
Assassination, kidnapping and re-
bellions were the order Of the day
in Mexico. That country has been
in turmoil more or less ever since.
Hugh McBrady placed the following
advertisement in the paper: ''Notice

daughters, Nancy and Catherine Nc
