ATLANTIC CITY, N. :, June II =
Prospects for a general strike Tor
Mooney July 4 seemed to go gllm-
mering today with the introduction
of the Mooney resolution in the con-
vention of the American Federation
of Labor.
The Mooney resolution contains
three provisions, as follows:
1-That the Convention declare its
absolute conviction that Mooney mas
been the victim of a frame-up.
2-That a committee be appointed
to proceed to Washington in final
effort to secure federal relief open
ing the way to new trlal LOT
Mooney.
3-That these steps failing, the
Federation forward to all lnterna-
tionals a proposal for n referendum
ballot on general StrlKe OIL perhaps
"a hours duration.
MONEYS friends declined to say
what effect this resolution would
have on the strike proposed for July
4, but it was freely predicted that
the new proposal would take the
steam out" of the July 4 movement
Rumored threats of a Pacific
Coast secession movement in the
event of failure to endorse the strike
idea by the Federation was laughed
at today by MONEYS representa-
tives, who said that the strike vote
had been lighter on the Pacific Coast
than on the Atlantic Coast. 1t had
been expected that an effort to get
the July strike endorsed here
would be made and the milder tone
of the PROPOSAL now made may win
some support that would not have
gone to the more drastic proposal.
It is more than doubtful, however,
that the 24-hour strike provision will
come anywhere near winning, and
the fact seems to be that its pro-
ponents do not expect it to win. The
belief of most delegates seems to be
that the moral fo,ce of the Fedora
ton will be the strongest force 1t can
WELD for Mooney.
The daylight saving plan was dis
approved.
Every phase of the political and
industrial situation was brought
upon the floor of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor Convention and
given a thorough overhauling. 1t
was made clear that there is to be
no sliding over any phase of the sit
uation. Bolshevism, political ac-
ton, industrial unionism-these
and a half dozen other issues come
in for the open air treatment.

the fact that the Merkle-Wiley

write all broom dealers in Everett

lands along the Blackfoot river, and
in recent years they have erected
two fine country homes on the tract,
one for each of the married children
now living on the place. DR.. Dunn
has been living at his Blackfoot
residence for many years and has
not taken an active part in the af-
fairs of the ranches.
Mr.. Dunn and the members of his
family are all road builders, having
been isolated to such an extent that
they found it necessary to build
roads thru the sand hills lying be-
tween them and the town, and they
are now able to ride the distance
on high gear that used to make a
toilsome journey with light vehicle
nd horses. Mr.. Dunn stands for all
that is safe, sane and progressive,
and his home and ranches are all
typical of their founder. ...,
In commenting on the changes
here since he came, Mr.. Dunn said
Saturday evening that no man could
hope to see greater changes and
greater progress and development in
a community in half century than
he had witnessed here! The utter
lack Of everything in the way of
transportation and buildings, con-
trasted with the towns and settle
ments of today with roads, bridges
and cars is a mighty step forward,
and just now the people are contem-
plating the greatest step yet made,
in advancing road construction some
thing like twenty years at one storke
by the bond issue. 1t all adds to
the privileges of man past eighty
as Mr.. Dunn is. His eighty-second
birthday comes next December and
the present year is likely to be a
champion for progress. IT,.

AMATEUR AND NEXPERT ATTEMPT
MADE TO BURCLARIZE TWO LOCAL STORES
Seeger-Bundie and Brown-Eldredge Company are
the "Victims." Would-be Robbers Fright

NO LOSSES DISCOVERED IN EITHER CASE

Early Sunday, morning Policeman
Drew and Fred Seeger made the dis
covery that. burglars had entered the
Seeger-Bundlie and Brown-Eldredge
company stores from the rear in each
case, with intent to take away some
valuables. Mr.. Peck was called by
telephone and a thoro search made
for evidence of the intruders in both
places. There were plenty of traces,
mostly showing that whoever at
tempted the two jobs was either a
rank amateur at the game or else
very young and inexperienced.
The Seeger- Bundle store was no
more than entered. Nothing was
much disarranged and it is Mr..
Seeger's opinion that the thief was
frightened away before he had time
to get started. There was not great
deal to lift, excepting some change
in cash register that was open and
was not touched.
At the Brown-Eldredge Furniture
store all the marks Of his presence
show that when he had the time
even the night-worker did not know
exactly how to make a haul.

Booking Engagernnts for
Greater Alamo Shows
Harry Hofer Returned to Blackfoot
Last Of Week After Circuit
Thrus Western States
AGENT is BLACKFOOT BOOSTER

Herry Hofer, general agent for the
Greater Alamo shows, got back the
last of the week from a circuit thru
Oregon and Washington, where he
booked engagements for the shows
now wintering at Blackfoot. The
Oregon state fair, the Washington
state fair, Van Couver and New West
minister are among the places where
they have engagements. Mr.. Hofer
says the amusements are going to
receive much attention this year for
several reasons. The men are back
from the armies and everybody feels
a sense Of relief and wants to cele-
brate. Those who have lost rela-
tives, recognize the fact that they
must brace up and bury sorrow and
loss that cannot be undone and they
too will go to the amusements and
smile and laugh when they can.
Mr.. Hofer says the better classes
of people are making provision for
shows, carnivals and chautauquas
this year and city officials and COM
mercial bodies invite them to come.
The Greater Alamo shows are being
reorganized, rebuilt and decorated at
Blackfoot and will open the season

enough noise to awake the dead or at
least any one who might have been
sleeping block away.
Finding nothing in the till the
burglar went out to Mr.. Peck's front
office where on account of the cor
oner business a light is left burning
all night. With the light on the
bungler made some effort to 60 thru
the desk, but luck was not with him.
He opened a drawer here and a
drawer there and found nothing. A
complete search would have made
his trip worth, while, for in some of
the drawers there happened to be
money; but it has now been re-
moved to safer, place. The next
burglar might not be so careless.
This event makes the fourth time
the Seeger-Bundlie place has been
broken into at night. Mr.. Seeger
said: "The only statement l have to
make regarding this burglary is that
there must be something enticing
about our goods that makes people
come in here to take it away night
and day. This last time the thief
was scared off. We can not discover
the loss Of single article"
A detective service has already
been put at work on this business
and with such evidence as Drew and
Seeger have been able to find it is
thought the offender will not long go
g free.

said they would build the hotel if

otherwise. They were willing to

later it was rumored that the Eccles

electric railroads in this valley and
that the hotel was one step in get
ting ready for their greater opera

tions. We asked them about it, and
they y~said they had no definite an
nouncements to make, excepting
that it was too soon for such heavy
investments; the country needed to
be further developed and more pop
ulation, better roads and better
farming were needed to justify such
an investment. We asked if we
might hope for such move in five
years or ten years, and were told
that very much depended upon the
people themselves whether the
country was ready for electric lines
in five years or later. The Eccles
people want to see the road bonds
carry, and they are looking to two
things-making money now, and
making money in all future years.
If successful men want to go in debt
for good roads, perhaps the less sue
cessful men would be safe in falling
in with such plans.
