Ii ia planned to finance the movement by levying an assessment of fifty cents on every member of organized labor in the country.
 The convention, which concluded it's four day session recently and ad journed, also adopted resolution embodying a declaration of national policies affecting labor which demand that the people of Russia and Ger many be permitted to work out their own destiny; that American troops be withdrawn from Russia; that all political, and industrial prisoners re ceive the same consideration as pris oners of war and proclaiming the dawn of a new day for true democ racy in which the rights of labor shall he fully recognized

IDAHO WAS NOT BENEFITED MUCH
 BY RECENT WAR

BOISE, Ida, Feb 4--Idaho was benefited only to a slight extent by special war industries. There were no factories in the State which turned out war supplies and the to. tai of war purchases made. in thi> State amounted to less than $60,000 when the regular output of the fields, forests and mines is elimin- ated
 The drop in the prices of lead and of wool is having an embarrass- ing effect upon the mining and sheep raising industries. The great lead
 mines in the Northern part of the State which are still operating on a war basis, so far as costs are con- cerned, are threatened with an early shutdown. The sheep men of the State also claim that they face enor- nous losses on this years clip unless the Government price of last year is upheld They point out in substantia- tion of this claim that shearing will be begun in less than six weeks and that the cost of this years clip so far as labor, feed and production costs are concerned has been entire ly on war basis.
 A few of the larger lumber com panies were producing Idaho pine for airplane use, but this was on such a small scale that the cancellation of airplane stock contracts has had practically no effect on the lumber situation in this State

As if to illustrate the long estab- llshed principle that discriminat- ing public never tires of the classic in any form of art, ''The Climax" Edward Locke's celebrated comedy. was revived in the Comedy Theatre, New York. under the direction of the Messrs.

of "rotter," "Oh, l say" "Old chap" by

Even if the reader forgives all that he
