CAMP CLEARED
OF 'WOBBL|ES"
WINCHESTER POST, AMERI-
CAN LEGION TAKES
ACTION

The Winchester Post of the
American Legion last Friday is
sued a proclamation that men,
bers of the l. w. W., sympathiz-
ers or similar organizations will
not be permitted in the Win
chester district, and James V.
Bliss, organizer for the |. W. W.,
was dragged from one of the
camps and given until the fol-
lowing morning to leave the dis
trict never to return. Tar, fea-
theirs, and a new rope were at
hand when Bliss was taken into
custody and he was given q
choice Of leaving the district OF
suffering whatever punishment
the Legion men might elect.
Bliss admitted that he is a men,
ber of the I. w. w. and willing
ly promised to leave the district.
Bliss came to Winchester
about a week ago and accepted
work as a swamper in one of the
logging camps. It was definl-
tely learned that he had signed
up one of the loggers for the Or
ganization and the American Le-
gion men took matters into their
hands to clear the district of I.
w. w. influences.
1t is explained that the Ameri-
can Legion has taken up the
fight on the grounds of Amer
icanism and propose to deal with
all matters in the district where
the l. w. w. OF their sympathiz-
ers may take issue. The Legion
proposes to be entirely fair in
the matter but they also propose
to deal with a firm hand. In the
case of Bliss, it is explained the
Legion men preferred to give the
man a chance to get out of the
district and upon his promise to
leave town, he was assigned a
room where he could safely re-
main for the night, with the
understanding that he would be
a passenger on the train when it
left the Winchester depot the
following morning. 1t is stated,
however, that the consideration
shown Bliss must not he constru-
ed as continuing policy to be
followed in dealing with other
cases that may develop, but the
former service men first prefer
red to give warning before more
severe measures are adopted.
F. A. Harris, commander of
the Winchester post of the
American Legion, in a statement
issued, following the deporta-
tion measures taken in the case
of Bliss, said the post has reach
ed definite decision that the
Winchester district must be
kept free Of the l. w. w. and
their sympathizers and there
will be no hesitancy in taking
whatever steps may appear nee
essary to see that this order is
obeyed.
Bliss was given to understand
that he had reason to congrat-
ulate himself on being permitted
to retire from the district un-
harmed, but that he should con-
vey a message to his organiza-
ton and it's members that the
Winchester district is barred
against them and they can ex-
pect serious trouble should they
fail to heed the warming.
Pleads Guilty.
Jas. V. Bliss Tuesday in the
district court at Lewiston enter
ed a plea of guilty to violation
of the state syndicalism act and
Judge Scales imposed on the
man a sentence of five to ten
years in the state penitentiary
at hard labor. Bliss is a con-
fessed I. w. W., having in pos
session literature of that organ
ization, and had gone to the town
of Winchester for the purpose of
organizing there.

Tran Thieves Numerous.

Stealing of government traps is one
of the evils with which the United
States Survey has to contend, says
Stanley Jewett, of the survey office
here. He says that letter received
today from a trapper states that n
man attempted to sell stolen govern
ment traps at a second hand store in
Kennewick. Washington, and when the
dealer refused to buy them. the man
left them on the sidewalk. Although
the penalty for stealing traps is So,
600 or from one to five years in the
penitentiary. depredations have been
and have been noted in the
Hermiston and Irrigon districts. It is
hard to catch the thieves, says Mr..
Jewett, but If one is proved guilty. he
will be made an example. While the
loss of the traps and furs is deplored,
the principle evil is that the trapper
becomes discouraged as he loses the
credit of having trapped the animals.
A Durkee trapper recently declared he
would be forced to stop trapping un-
less some attempt was made to catch
trap thieves.

In Topeka the new rates would APP

that the new rates should not be levied

settled. The arguments in this case
were set for May D.
