inON'T be surprised il your coal bill

now is q sixty per cent increase in
wages, six-hour day and five-day
week. II the miner is entitled to those
conditions, so is the clerk, the print

Of labor. The world cannot be sup
piled with coal on these terms. With

DERHAPS one Of the greatest re-
suits Of the war has been the way
im which the Salvation Army has
found itself" Before the war we
were wont to think Of the Army as a
handful Of noisy drum beaters, clut-
tering up the busy street corners. No
one dreamed Of its possibilities in war
work. But the great test came, and
the Salvation Army met it open-hand-
ed and four-square. 1t acquitted itself
most nobly and today enjoys friend
ship Of every soldier boy. 1t was a
case Of where the open-heartedness Of
workers long accustomed to humble
service rose to the demand of the hour
md triumphed. Gem county was
lsked to subscribe $500 to the Saliva
ion Army fund to pay off the indebt-
'dness incurred by that organization
n war work and to replenish its
,mpty treasury. A little old measly
900 has been subscribed so far, to
he everlasting shame Of Gem coun-
y. II is not too late to make up the
alance. Subscriptions will be receiy-

CURRENT COMMENT.

A SSUMING that the great objec,
tive in labor's quest is justice foI
all, it is evident enought TO thinking
people that the quest must be in vain
so long as agriculture's primary in.
terest in every economic question OF
the nation Is not adjusted SO that
agriculture's relation TO all other in
dustries, and the relation of all other
industries to agriculture, are intelli-
gently and honestly established and
maintained. II all other indust ries
are TO work upon an eight-hour basis,
while agriculture sweats and bends
throughout the longer day, injustice
will remain enthroned. II all other
industries, through the instrumental
ity Of an artificially swollen wage,
toll the fruits OF agricultural toll with
out regard to the tiller's due, economic
justice will be impossible. Up to this
time there has been no adequate COM
prehension Of agriculture's part in
the nations life. II has been regarded
rs rule az secondary and incidental
by horde OF selfish ignoramuses who
have assumed TO speak for other
branches Of labor. II has been treated
as OF secondary Importance in most Of
the conferences and even by the bu-
reaucracies which have been ordained
to foster il. The dominant political
powers Of the country have neglected
1t and pandered to groups numerical |
ly inferior, but infinitely stronger
because organized. An agricultural
federation, bringing every branch of
the first industry under intelligent
direction. would clear our nation Of its
economic difficulties at the founda-
ton, and incidentally hold In check
dangerous conditions as may be pro-
duced by other interests which for the
time may be under the influence Of
unwiss or selfish leadership.

MASSACHUSETTS politics presents

convention declared against amend

PLOT TO
KILL WILSON At
BOSTON IS FO|LED
Federal Officials and Secret
Service Men Examine e.
feCts Of |. W. W. Caught in
New York Raid.

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-Federal at
torneys and secret service men today
were examining personal effects and
papers Of IA Spaniards, members Of the
Industrial Workers Of the World, who
we're arrested here yesterday on sus-
picion that two Of their number were
concerned in a plot to attempt to take
the life of President Wilson on his
landing at Boston.
While definite information was lack
ing, the authorities admitted that the
raids on two Spanish L, W. W. head
quarters here were prompted by re-
port that two Philadelphia Spaniards
were on their way to Boston as agents
in the alleged plot. These two men
were among the IA arrested.
Pending this investigation, the prss-
oners are being held without ball on q
general charge OF violation Of the es-
pionage act based on their having IN
their possession alleged seditious lit
erature. E
The II Spaniards were taken from
their cells at police headquarters today
and placed in the police Lineup" but
none of the men was recognized by the
detectives as having been arrested here
before. The police said no weapons
were found on any OF the men.

TEN ARE ARRESTED IN
PHILADELPHIA ROUNDUP

PHILADELPHIA. Feb 24.-Ten men
were arrested here today suspected OF
being implicated in the alleged New
York plot to assassinate President VIII
SON The prisoners were rounded up
shortly after the raid by the police in
New York.
The men arrested here are Eduardo
Parades, a Cuban, said to be the lead
er of the Spanish |. w, w, Pasquale
Nurreno, Jose Gomez, Jose Rigo, Juan
Marquee, Oliero Blanco, Leonard Ga
raz, Juan Rodriguez, Jose Gonzales and
Jose Antonio Pena. All are Spaniards
and nine of them are aliens.
Secret service men here attach more
importance to the arrest in New York
of two Philadelphians, Florien Medina
Veitia and Eario Orestissa, than to the
roundup of the ten Spaniards in this
city. In their rooms here were found
about 200 pounds of anarchist and so
cialist literature, and number of let
ters. Bundles Of copies Of Spanish
anarchist newspaper also were seized.
Today the men were taken from a
police station to the federal building
where they are being examined sep
arately.
A local agent of the department Of
justice learned by chance about two
weeks ago of a meeting of those ar
rested here and in New York, at which
some Of the radicals, it is said, dropped
q hint of the assassination plot The
agent learned that two men were to
be sent from this city to New York
as the assassins All the government
agencies in both cities Immediately
turned TO the task of foiling the Span
ish terrorists.
