the attitude that Obregon's candidacy
was unconstitutional, in that he had
participated in revolution against

that, therefore, his election is illegal
They plan to protest to Congress.
The only apparent disturbances re-
ported during the election were in

The dead and injured were mem-

guide leading. the party was in the
middle of one of the four bridges in
the cave when the slide came, its
noise drowned by the roar of the
cataract. The guide was not touched
by the slide. and his first intimation
Of it came from the screams of the
women IN the party.

the Maid of the Mist steamer. which
had been run up as near as possible
to the falls and cave. 1t was hazard

finally brought the bodies out of the
pool and regained the steamer.
The accident is the first of the kind
that has occurred in the cave since
the first stairway was built in 1888.
There have been slides before. but
only in the winter or early spring.
Seven persons were injured, none

The paper shortage is making mat

ing subscription or advertising rates
and cutting down it's space and bulk,
or both, while the country press, in
limited fields and with sources OF
money earning not so capable OF ex-
pansion, is losing many Of the weak

see just how far the mortality will
go. A Michigan newspaper reports

newspapers in the Grand Traverse
region alone. In the Middle West.
the country press mortality rate is
high. In our own state no very great
number of suspensions has been APP

paper in the thinly settled districts
is not bright.

To meet these increased production
costs, The Tribune will increase its
advertising rates from ten to fifteen
per cent. The advance will be a small
one, Just enough to cover extra pap
err costs, and no more. Subscription
rates will not be raised during 1920.

The Carnegie Hero Fund isn't working here;

country developed handmade heroes and hero
ines in their modest way.
Down at Cinema town they were suddenly faced

medicine doctors nurses. There were only
few of them there and each had about all they
could do to look after their health and welfare,
and found it. Mike Toratck better known as Mike

stock of grub to take him through until the
fish run again if the Carlisle Cannery will allow the
fish to this year, Mike found that it was up
to him to go to the front" So he took all the
grub he had and packed it to the Indian village
and moved in and took charge.
The suffering Indians all sick and out of
grub, and Mike fed them every crumb he owned and
stayed with them and nursed them and tended them
until every woman and all the men in the village
but two had died mis- hands And, after Mike
had the dead all buried he treked back to his
fish camp, and tired and foodess, but satisfied
that he had done his damndest-we'll say Mike did.

Russia's Substitute For "Wage Slavery
(From The Review. }

During all this time, the most damning evidence
agains the tyrants Moscow contained in their
official DEGREES and newspapers. But now there
has been put out by them document, which, If it
is carefully read by American workingmen, must
completely dissilluson them This is the Soviet Gov
ernments Code of Labor Laws published IN soviet
Russia in its issue of February 81.
To be sure, this code makes some pretense at
protecting the laborer and assuring to him some
Of the advantages for which labor everywhere mas
teen agitating such the eght-hour day, disabil-
ty and unemployment insurance, the right to labor
and the protection of and children in indus
All of these advantages. however, are carefully
circumscribed that they be suspended at any
time by the higher authorities under the plea OF
necessity In reality, the code introduces labor serf-
dom a sort far tyranical than even the
peasant serfdom half century ago.
Article |, of the code, provides that all citizens
of the Russian Socialist Federated Soviet Republic
between the ages of 16 and so, unless ncapacitated
by injury illness, subject to compulsory Ia
Dor" This is the keynote to the whole code, and
the other sections, matter how disguised in the
wording, merely provisions for carrying this
tyranny into effect
the code is interesting 1t also throws a light on
other aspects of Soviet theory and practice In the
section dealing with rules for the determination OF
desirablity for work and the payment of sick bene-
fits wage earners provided that the resources
of the local hospital funds shall be derived
"(a) From obligatory payments, by enterprise,
establishments and institutions employing said labor
"(b) From fines for delay of payments.
"(c) From profits on the investment of the
funds"
1t is evident therefore that the hated institution
of capital and interest, against which Lenine and
Trotsky Illuminated violently, is now recognized
as necessary part of their system
