The increase in telephone rates which
Autocrat Burleson has put into effect has
raised storm of disapproval which
comes from those who know very much
more about the telephone business than
the gentleman from Texas will ever
learn. Mr. Baker, however, is in the
saddle and he will override all opposition
The present Congress will do nothing to
prevent government ownership or con-
troll of anything which the administra-
ton wishes to dominate. This condition
of affairs will continue till this Congress
passes into history next March. Prob
ably it will continue much longer, per-
haps till next December. The next Con-
gress will not be servile. There will be
an inspection of accounts and a general
inquiry into the performances of good
many of our public servants. Very like
ly, before that time Mr.. Burleson will
resign, because he will have found that
his salary will not support his family.

A friend of ours who mixes the mu-
SIC OF dreams with the rattle and bang
ana noise and clamor of life, so that
the one will soften and thus make
more endurable the other, has favor
lite theory of combining smokestacks
with gardens, says writer in Los An

His idea is for the wage Garner. 1t
is an idea through which the man who
depends on a salary or days pay
may place himself in a position of in
dependence. And it seems to US that
there can be no bigger or more i'm
pOrtant idea than this in all the philOSO-
ply of life.
What could be more sensible and
practicable than a scheme whereby

food, especially in this climate. That's
his greatest item of expense-foOd.
Why not raise his own food in his own
garden?
BY doing this his wages or his salary
from his job soon becomes an income
something that he can lay away. put
in the savings bank, buy Liberty bonds
with, and all that.
Of course, this means that he will
have little extra work to do outside
of his job, but, with system, and his
children to help, the work isn't great,
and it can really be made pleasure.

Protect Fruit Trees From Rodents.

FIotcCt FRUIT trees r rom nOOeNIS.
Thousands of young fruit trees are
annually injured and many are killed
by mice and rabbits that gnaw the
trees just above the ground. Frequent
iy young trees are completely girdled.
This trouble can be largely avoided by
protecting the lower part Of the tree
trunk by banking it with earth late in
the fall or by wrapping the trunk with
building paper or even old newspaper.
Wood veneer and wire mesh tree
guards may be purchased in the mar
ket. One or more of these precautions
ought by all means to be taken as
means of protecting the young tree.
A SIS or SO tree can be protected and
saved by the use of only little labor
and the expenditure of only few
cents for material.

RADICALS FIRE

Three Murdered by 1. W. W's
 in Centralia, Wash.-Overseas
 Veterans Were Celebrating
 Armistice Day.

Centralia, Wash, Nov. 11.-Warren Grimm, Centralia attorney, and Ben Cassagranda, Centralia real estate man, died late today from wounds re- ceived when Industrial Workers of the World fired on an Armistice Day parade here today. The death list early tonight stood at three, Arthur McAlfresh having been killed instant ly. All were overseas men.
 Six alleged Industrial Workers of the World were arrested early tonight and more were being placed in jail as fast as they could be found Former soldiers were guarding the jail to keep the prisoners from mob which crowded around the building.
 Dale Hubbard, one of the six men wounded, was reported dying. The other wounded will recover, it was said. All the wounded were overseas veterans.
 Several alleged Industrial Workers of the World were arrested following the shooting. A mob took one from the police and made preparations to hang him on downtown street. Be fore the rope could be applied officers 1 took him from the mob and placed him in jail. At 3:30 p. m. crowd of over 500 people was gathered about the jail. Shots poured from roofs of buildings as the parade neared Tower Avenue, Centralia's main street, and Second avenue, near the 1. w. w. headquarters.
 The Industrial Workers of the World, it is charged, fired from roofs of buildings near their hall. After the shooting a mob ransacked the I. w. w. hall, tore down the front of the buildings and threw the furniture into the street, where it was burned.
 Portland, Ore, Nov. 11.-Former service men, armed with rifles, are reported to have surrounded the jail at Centralia, but according to infor- nation reaching here, will make no attempt to enter the prison after the men confined there The report said that the men intended to guard the jail and see that no attempt was made by the officers to remove the men.
 A long distance telephone message from Centralia at 4:20 o'clock this afternoon said that if the men were taken from the jail they would be shot.

SENATE AVOIDS
 PEACE TREATY
Each Side Blames the Other For Delay-Many Subjects Other Than the Peace Treaty Ar gued Pro and Con.

Washington, Nov 1.-The peace treaty drifted into the doldrums again today, the Senate talking for seven hours and accomplishing nothing.
 Tonight each side was blaming the other for the delay and hopes of wind ing up the whole treaty fight this week were waning rapidly.
 Technically the committee reserva- tion to article 10 of the league of na tions covenant was before the Senate during the day, but the debate was about almost everything else. Start ing with the Mormon religion it shift ed to the IA points and eliminated in a long speech by Senator Reed, Demo- crat, Missouri, assailing the admins tration's war policy.
 The immediate pending business, a motion by Senator Walsh, Democrat, Montana, to amplify the committee reservation, scarcely was mentioned at all Although some of the irrecon- ciliable Republicans continued to re- gard it as a trick to load down the reservation with obnoxious features, others of that group were understood to favor it's adoption, and the leaders thought the vote would be very close.
 Senator Reed read to his Demo- cratic colleagues from the Democratic campaign text book of 1916,. to SUD- port his claim that the party's fight for reelection was based upon a pol icy of non-interference in European affairs. which he said now had been completely reversed. In replying, Senator Robinson, Democrat, Arkan- sas, drew Republican Leader Lodge into the debate by quoting from a Senate address made by MT. Lodge last December, declaring it was the duty of this country to help the new weak nations to get on their feet.

But when made that statement l had no idea we were to be handed out document which would bind us for all time ev- anywhere.
 And since then several things have happened. We have deprived Poland of her seaport at Danzig. We have declined to give France the left bank of the Rhine, and for that reason we have pending a treaty of alliance to protect France. We have meddled at Plume.

EXPERIENCE TO FIX WAGE SCALE
coeretary Wilson Includes All Factions in SummOns-Better Pay For Miners is the Object Sought.

Washington, Nov. Il. = Having sovced the miners to call off the coal strike, the government set out today to help them negotiate new wage , agreement.
 On the heels of the announcement that Federal Judge Anderson at h. dianapolis had approved the order nromulgated by the United Mine Workers of America resembling the strike notice, Secretary Wilson invit- ed representatives of the miners and onerators from all the fields involved in the walkout to meet here Friday flor the purpose of negotiating a basis of settlement"
 The miners accepted. When Mir. Wilson went home tonight he had re- eeiyed no formal reply from the oper- ators, but was unofficially advised that they would comply with his re- quest. The secretary was assured by the operators and miners that they would endeavor faithfully to frame a pay scale that would send the 425,000 strikers back to work willingly and at once.
 Thomas T. Brewster, head of the operators' association of the central competitive field, who arrived here during the day from St. Louis to take an active hand in the situation, made public tonight a telegram to John l.. Lewis, acting president of the miners organization, urging prompt re- sumption of negotiations" The mes sage sent, it was explained, before Secretary Wilson had put his invita- ton on the wires, made no reference to the labor secretary as mediator. Brewster suggested negotiation of a contract to be in force upon the ter mination of the contract now in eff fect,' without saying when or how tnlS would be determined.
 Word came from Lewis tonight that the miners had decided to accept Mr. Wilson's offer and that they had so notified Brewster.
 The secretary of labor, again step ping to the front as mediator, will take up his work exactly as it was laid aside two weeks ago, except that no strike threat will hank over the conference. Instead of there being present in the conference representa- tlNes of miners and operators only from the central competitive fields, embracing the states of Indiana, Illi- nois, Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, the conference will include miners rom all fields involved, stretching over more than 20 states.
