brated international Labor Day
with speaking in the afternoon and

James Fisher, of Tacoma, adj
dressed large, enthusiastic audi
ence in the park on 1.-The worldwide
Labor movement and its progress. "
In his talk he said, May day is a
day that is pregnant of hope to the
workers that the time is ripe when
the workers shall soon reap the full
harvest Of their toll. Our day Of
freedom is inevitable. Remember
old King Canute, the English king
who thought he could make the
tide stand still? There are still
some King Canutes in the world.
They cannot turn back the tide by
placing the whitest man who ever
came from the womb of America in
Jail I mean Eugene V. Debs. The
universe is pregnant with law;
fundamental law. The sun has
risen in the East. The time is
coming when the toilers shall reap
the harvest of their production"
In the evening Mr.. Fisher talked
to an even larger audience in Red
Mems Hall. He said: "You may
deny us the right of free speech,
the right of free assemblage, you
may suppress the freedom of the
press, but you cannot suppress
thought. There is no power on
earth that can keep a man from
thinking" Mr.. Fisher held his
audience all through his talk. Their
only regret was that he could not
talk longer.

"UNITED AMERICANS"
FOR $500, 900 DAMAGES

The Committee of Forty-eight,
with headquarters at Is East 4Oth
Street, New York City, has brought
suit for libel against The United
Americans" for 100000 damages
because of the statement sent to
the press by the latter organization
charging that the Committee of
Forty-eight is allied with "revolu-
tionary forces in this country
This statement was printed in news
papers and has been widely circu-
lated in other ways by "The United
Americans" according to members
of the Committee of Forty-eight,
In speaking of the suit, j. A. H.
Hopkins, Chairman of the Execu-
tive Committee of the Committee of
Forty-eight, said: The statement
that the Committee of Forty-eight
has any relation of any kind what
ever with any Revolutionary forces
in this country is malicious lie
made out of whole cloth. The Of
fetal investigator of "The United
Americans, who supplied the mate
rial for this lie, admitted he had
never read the platform of the
Committee of Forty-eight, never at
tended any of its meetings. and had
never been near its headquarters,
which are always open to all visit
ors. Such a statement, issued by an
organization like The United Amer
leans" which has raised 'confiden-
tally large sums of money to COM

its literature, raises the question as
to the rights of American citizens to
institute such Independent political
action as the Committee of Forty
eight is organizing, without being
to misrepresentation by
hired publicity agents of the forces

SPRUCE SOLDIER
D. B. RECTOR GETS
$4,000 DAMAGES

Delbert b. Rector, Infantry Pri-
vate of the 91st vision of the Unit
ed States Army, later transferred to
the Spruce Division under Colonel
Disque, received a judgment OF
SIS, 100000 against the Cherry Val
Hey Logging Company, to whom he
was farmed out by Colonel Disque,
head Of the Spruce Division, in Su
perior Court of Snohomish County.
Delbert B. Rector was a member
of the 91st Division of the United
States Army. He was only one of
the $4,000 privates farmed out by
Colonel Disque, head of the Spruce
Division, to the Cherry Valley Log
ging Company, operating at Still
water, Washington.
Private Rector lost one arm and
had his left leg broken by the
breaking of a worn cable. Private
Rector knew that the cable was
dangerous, but he could not quit, as
court martial faced him if he did.
The case was one of the hardest
fought cases that ever came up in
court. Capt. Turner, Commission
err of Public Safety, took up the
case of the private soldier. He was
aided by l.. H. Merrick and Noah
Shakespeare in prosecuting the
case. Council for the defense, for
mer Chief Justice of Supreme Court
81. Chadwick, Cooley, Koran & Null
vihill, representing the Cherry Val
ley Logging Co., which is branch
of the Weyerhaeuser Lumber Com
panv. fought hard to have the case
thrown out of Court because there
were no laws to cover the case.
Judge Ralph c. Bell refused to
throw it out, stating that he would
stand for nothing but justice.
The suit was brought for $4,000
damages and the Court awarded
Private Rector $15,O00.O0. The
case is the first of its kind in the
history of the United States Army.
Judge Bell termed it a pioneer case.
1t was fought from Tuesday morn
ing, April 81, until Friday morning,
April 80.
This is only one of the many
cases against Colonel Disque. Pri-
vate Rector is only one of the ~
600 soldiers farmed out to Private
interests by the wonderful Colonel,
the father of the Ais.
Capt. Turner said the witnesses
were loggers from different logging
camps throughout the state who
were pirvates in the Spruce Divi-
sion working with Private Rector.

County Agent 10y Adopts Plan
To Interest Fruit Growers in
Growing Better Fruit.

The Horticultural Department of
the University of Kentucky thru the
Extension Specialist Mr.. H. X. Mis-
wonger and the County Agent, N. H.
10y is cooperating with Messrs James
Mccoy, Harmed, KY, Dr. Sphire, and
Thomas l.. Callahan, Hardnsburg,
KY, in renewing their old orchards.
The plan is to carry these orchards
thru period of five years in order to
show the possibilities in scientific
care OF fruit trees as well as bring
ing in a return to the owners. The
orchards in the past, similar to numer-
Gus other orchards in the county have
received very little care in the way of
pruning, spraying and soil treatment.
These orchards have already received
dormant pruning and the spray of lime
sulphur for the control OF San lose
scale Following this dormant spray
there will be put on four summer
sprays for the control of the apple
worm and the many rots that infest
the fruit
In addition TO the pruning and
spraying the orchards which have
been in sod will be dsked and a.
bout seven tons of manure per acre
used as a mulch on the ground a
round the trees A cost account re-
cord will be kept by the owners of
the orchards to show the actual net
returns per acre
Ten per cent Of the trees in each
one OF the orchards will he used as
checks and will receive no treatmtn,
in order to show the contrast be-
tween cared and uncared for trees
in the production of perfect fruit
All fruit growers in the county in
terested in growing better fruit are
requested to watch the results obtain
ed by the above named demonstra-
tors. Field meetings will be held dur
ing the summer in the orchards when
the different sprays are applied and
al interested parties are invited to
be present
