LOCKOUT OF BUILDING TRADES
WORKMEN IN CHICAGO MAY
CONTINUE INDEFINITELY

The lockout of approximately 10000
workmen in the building trades of Chi
cago, which has been in effect since July
10, may be continued indefinitely, &C
cording to present indications.
Union delegates voted, on July %, to
resume work under the old conditions,
and arbitrate their grievances. The en-
ployers association, however, stands
firm in it's resolution to permit no inter-
ference by outside interests. Mr.. E. M.
Craig, secretary of the association, is
quoted as saying:
''The tighter we make this lockout, the
sooner it will be over. All of the
$60,000,000 invested in building oper-
atoms must be tied up to make our &C
ton effective. We positively refuse to
arbitrate. No outside interests can
claim to know the intricate issues here.
Federal investigators could not make us
alter our policy.
''This may keep the lockout in effect
5 or months, but it is the only salts
factory way. We think the Department
of Labor is partial to organized labor.
Most of it's personnel are labor men +;
besides, the questions of conditions, such
as jurisdiction, are too intricate for any
outsider to SETTLE"
1t is claimed that the carpenters de-
mand for one dollar an hour, which pre-
cipitated the lockout, is now but one of
the many questions to be settled

TAFT URGES RESERVATIONS in
LEAGUE PACT
Missouri Senator Proposes Reservations
to Peace Treaty

A Washington report, of July %,
stated that former President William
Howard Taft, head of the League to En-
force Peace, in an effort to avert threat
ened defeat of the League of Nations,
had written a letter to Will HI. Hays,
Chairman Of the Republican National
Committee, outlining a series of reser-
vations as basis for compromise be-
tween the contending factions in the
United States Senate.
Heretofore, Mr.. Taft has been second
only to the President in his unyielding
attitude toward any changes in the cove
nant, and his letter to Mr.. Hays was
viewed as the first serious breach in the
League defense.
A program of reservations to the
Peace Treaty was laid before President
Wilson on July Is, by Senator Spencer,
Of Missouri, Republican, with the state
ment that both the League and the
Treaty are doomed to rejection by the
Senate unless the President gets behind
some substantial compromise.

RAPID DEVELOPMENT OF AIR
TRAFFIC

A big Lawson passenger plane is. be-

much the appearance of railway coach.
The plane has wing spread Of 95

horse power Liberty motors are expec-
ted to drive it along at 100 miles an hour.
When the plane is completed, Governor
Phillips, OF Wisconsin, will fly in it to
Chicago, passing over Zion City and
Waukegan.
1t is claimed that Lawson is planning
a fleet of 100 of these planes.

AVIATION, MOST DANGEROUS
BRANCH OF SERVICE DUR
ING WAR

Henry Wood, writing for The Chicago
Tribune from Paris, says that complete
statistics of the French losses in avia-
ton for the entire length of the war,
demonstrate that, without question, avi-
alton was the most dangerous Of all the
various services of the war.
Out of total of 1913 men engaged
the French aviation service during the
war, the losses were 7,757, or 81 per-
cent. One of the most interesting facts
developed in the statistics is that the
losses were almost as high for aviation
flying and working in the interior as for
those flying and fighting in the war
zone.

ARMY SELLS HUGE SUGAR STOCK
TO EQUALIZATION BOARD

The War Department has sold to the
United States Sugar Equalization Board
81 100000 pounds of refined sugar, it
was announced from Washington on
July %, by George A. Zabriskie, Presi-
dent of the Board He said there is
abundance Of raw sugar, and that there
is no need of boarding. He added that
the refneries are working night and day,
and the output Of 41,175,000 pounds a
day is being put into domestic trade.
Refners, he said, had not exported a
pound of sugar for two weeks, and eX-
portation will not be resumed until A
merican needs are met.
Officials of the American Refining
Company said, on July &c, that recent
Washington dispatches were accurate in
saying that the supply of raw sugar is
large, but that transportation troubles
had made the supply temporarily mac
cessible, shipments being six weeks be-
hind Refners were quoted as saying
that the rise in retail price is probably
due to the fact that retailers had been
selling to each other, and that apparent
~ there had been lot of profteering.

NEW ERA FOR PALESTINE

There is no surer indication of the
fulfillment of prophecy than the return
of the Jews to Palestine for the re-es-
Enlistment of national homeland.
The following editorial from The Chi
of many strong articles which have ap-
peared in the daily press of the past
week:
cit is said that Mr.. Nathan Straus,
New York merchant and philanthropist,
has intimated to his friends that he has
one ambition-to return to Palestine
and there to be elected the first mayor
of Jerusalem.
Jerusalem will go far to find man
more fitted for the office.
"But the disclosure of this ambition
serves to remind us that a new era is
soon to begin for Palestine Definite
pledges have been given that the Holy
Land is to be restored to the Jewish
people. Thousands are preparing now
for an exodus from America in the fall.
Justice Brandeis is at present in Pales-
tine, repeating the work of Caleb and
Joshua, who went ahead Of Israel to
spy out the land He will return in
September and report to Zionist con-
vention to be held in Chicago.
"a. H. Fromenson, head of the pub
licity bureau of the American Zionist
societies, says that nearly 5000 men
connected with the professions and with
technical crafts have volunteered to be
among the pioneers of the new Jewish
commonwealth. Many thousands more
some estimates put the number at a
million-have indicated their intention
of helping to reclaim and repopulate the
country of their fathers.

christendom sought to redeem the land
from the Saracen, there has been no
movement of people appealing so to

STRIKE OF BRITISH COAL MINERS

The great overshadowing event in
Great Britain during the past week has
been the coal strike involving from
100000 to 275,000 men, besides thou
sands of workmen in factories who were
forced out of work by lack of coal.
Victor Hartshorn, member of parlia-
ment from South Wales, on July %,
said: "This is the blacklist day in the
history of industrial Britain, Unless the
government approves the miners de-
mands at the conference Thursday, I
have no hesitancy in saying civil war
will ensue."
Robert Wells Richie, in a cable to
The Chicago Herald, on the same date,
said that a situation existed, which, if
it had arisen in Hungary would have
been heralded in the British newspapers
as Bolshevism and madness.
On July 25 however, the sixth day Of
the strike, Prime Minister Lloyd George
and the executive body of the miners
federation, gave out a statement saying
that an agreement had been reached.
Henry Hyde, in a cable to The Chicago
Tribune, two days later, said that the
Yorkshire miners were still on strike,
and that they were to meet the follow
ing day to consider Lloyd Georges Of
fer, providing for the protection of
peace workers and the introduction of
a 7-hour day. Mr.. Hyde added that
these, however, were only minor issues,
and that the really great issue between
the government and the coal miners,
which must soon be faced, is that of
public ownership and operation of all
coal mines in the kingdom, as recon-
mended in the Sankey report. The next
most important issue, he said, is raised
by the governments action in adding
$3.50 to the pit mouth price of coal,
which would add nearly $10,000,000 a
year to the expenses of the British cot
ton mills alone. 1t would thus largely
increase the cost of all British manu-
features and take more money out of
the pockets of every British householder.

TWO CROPS OF HAY
AND FAIR WHEAT YIELD

The second crop Of hay. which is
now being cut, is pretty good crop.
almost IS good as the first one. The
third crop. however. will not make
much more than a~little pasture, ow-
ing to the water being turned off
fifteen days ago. Fruit is not n
bumper crop, but there is a good deal
OF fruit on the. tract, all of which
can be used for home consumption
The wheat is now being cut. and al
though it will not make as big a crop
as. IL would If it had had water two
weeks longer, still we expect to be
able to report some wonderful yields.
Let The Times know what your field
yielded, so we can tell your neigh
bors about it.
We have heard the statement
made that the farmers will have as
much money this fall rs they would
have had with full crop and nor
NAL prices for It, as considerable ex-
pense will be curtailed by not having
TO irrigate so long. and not having
as much crop TO harvest.

Service campaign left Seattle re-
Gently for their various districts. The
campaign will end the week of Sep

to have raised a fund sufficient to
carry on and enlarge and extend for
twelve months the Salvation Army
Home Service work on budgets and
in accordance with plans carefully
considered and approved by commit
tees of prominent citizens in Wash
ington and Idaho.
The money raised in Washington
Will be spent in Washington and that
raised in Idaho will be spent in that
state and when it is understood that
the great success of the Salvation
Army war work has the direct result
of the home service that has been
built up in the past half century the
quota of every city and county in
the two states is expected to be over
subscribed.
| Up to the time of the war the Sal
vation Army Home service was sus-
tanned wholly by nickles and dimes,
sometimes dollars that were put into
the tamborine the lassie passed
around. or otherwise obtained by
haphazard solicitation. Growing out
of the wars experience was the de-
termination to put the solicitation of
funds on a systematic basis-one So
licitation every IL months for sub
scriptions sufficient in amount to
cover a years home ministrations.
"A man may be down, but he's
never out" is the slogan of the Sal
vationist work that the funds will
carry on.

commissioner pleaded guilty to the
charge of violating the government
laws regarding the manufacture and
sale of intoxicating liquors. He has
been removed to the Jail at Poca-
tello. but has not received his sent
ence yet.
His decision to plead guilty shows
that he at least has intelligence
enough to know that there was no
chance for him to avoid sentence,
as the evidence was clear, and he
may save himself year or two in
the penitentiary by entering a plea
of guilty.
