A LESSON IN COOPERATION.

The California Fruit Growers association claims
to be the most successful cooperative selling organ
ization in this country. In public statement the
officers of the organization assert that Tor every
dollar paid by consumers for the products raised
by members of the association, thirty cents goes to
the producers and seventy cents to the railroads
and the middlemen.
If that is record to be proud of, what happens
to the farmers and fruit growers who are not
organized?
Truck farmers in the vicinity of Washington are
receiving dollar barrel for green beans, eleven
pecks to the barrel. The consumers Of Washington
are paying fifteen cents per quarter peck, or $3.50
a barrel for the same beans. At that rate the pro-
ducer gets about fifteen cents out of each dollar
paid by the consumer.
The beet sugar farmers of Colorado are rejoicing
because they will receive about six cents pound
for the sugar in the beets they have raised this
year. The consumers in Washington and other
eastern cities are paying twenty-five and twenty
three cents pound for the same sugar.-Labor
Comment on the above seems unnecessary-the
figures speak for themselves. Then we wonder why
farmers and producers are dissatisfied.

TURN RAILROAD TN
SIBERIA over
TO japan
Especial to the Bulletin.) J

Washington, Jan. 13.-Adminis-
tration and protection of the Siberian
railroad will be turned over to the
Japanese within the next month. ac-
cording to authoritative information
secured here, which states that the
American railroad commission which
has been in Siberia will leave for the
United States early in February,
while the 5000 American troops sent
to Russia to replace the draft men
who had been there will be returned
to this country by the middle of next
month.
1t was stated that the American
troops were sent to Siberia to assist
the Czecho-Slovak troops in reaching
Europe by Vladivostok and that the
early departure on American trans
ports of the Czechs will obviate fur
ther necessity for the continuance OF
American troops in Siberia.
Although every indication points
to the early withdrawal from Siberia
of all American forces, the negotia-
tions between Japan and the United
States relative to the increase of the
American forces as an aid to jan
anese forces in Siberia are said to
be still pending.

The resolutions, in addition to Sc
verely criticizing Speaker Sweet and
the members of the assembly for
their action in suspending the So
cialist members because of their
political affiliations, and terming
their act "un-American,' also sug-
gests the appointment -of a special
committee of eminent lawyers from
the New York bar to appear tomor-
row at Albany before the assembly

1t is considered probable that the

Aberdeen, Washington.-The re-
versal of his previous decision set
ting the Centraiia eases for trial at
either Tacoma or Olympia by Judge
Wilson, placing them back at Monte
sano, has astountled the honest mcm-
bers of the legal fraternity in the
state of Washington.
In listening to the arguments of
the attorneys for the defense and
prosecution when the matter first
came before him, Judge Wilson stated
from bench that it was quite evident
that the cases should not br tried in
Montcsano; that ii WAS impossible
to furnish police protcction--thus
acknowledging that it was necessary
and that public sentiment or what
passes for public sentiment in this
stronghold OF the lumber trust was
at high tension. He further stated
that there were not accommodations
sufficient for the immense number
of witnesses that would be called by
both sides and the trial should be
held in Il larger city.
He took the matter under advise
ment and on his next appearance on
the bench took cogn;zance Of three
or four nffidavitS presented by the
prosecution stating that no undue
prejudice existed and reversed his
previous railing. 'rFc date Nor the
trial was made Jan. 20, at Monte

sbility the accused are acquitted
