Unless something is done to meet

basis as during the war, with this
difference-We are then blessed
with large corn yields. Owing to
unfavorable weather conditions and
the natural incentive to grow cot
ton on account of present high
price and fear of the wider spread
ing of the weevil within the next
few years, we are liable to have
distressingly short corn crop.

even at this late date may be urged

ty meetings of prominent farmers,

They demand in addition that the

MOLDERS WIN OUT
In Supreme Court Against
Niles Tool Works
Court Victory Comes To
Strikers After Three
Year Struggle

After fight lasting more than
three years and passing through
three United States courts, Iron Mold
ers' Union No. 68, of this city, is de-
clared right in its contention through
Attorneys Shank & Shank that the
federal court had no jurisdiction in
the case of the Niles -Bemont-Po Co.
against the molders' organization
This suit by the Niles -Bemont- Pond
Co. against the Iron Molders' Union,
it will be remembered, was filed in
September, 1917, and was the result
of the strike of the molders employed
at the Niles tool works. Federal
Judge John Safer granted the injunc-
tion asked for and the same will long
be remembered. The injunction was
sweeping in it's scope Everybody
and anything was enjoined. The Niles
Company had the decision put on big
cards in big print and posted every
where.
1t was really warning to every
one against breathing anything
against the Niles Company Special
detectives were brought in to see to
its enforcement People passing up

San Francisco. - The California
State Federation of Labor has taken
up the case of s. II. Wood, vice presi-
dent Of the international Timber
Workers Union, who was mobbed at
Susanville, this state, and barely es-
capped with his life
Wood went to SusanvilIe to organ
ize union of timber workers. The
day after his arrival he was arrested
by the town marshal "on suspicion of
being an I. w w" He was placed in
jail and no one was informed of his
whereabouts. He finally secured a
message to local unionists by calling
through a window.
The marshal had no warrant and on
releasing the prisoner he was seized
by mob who drove to the jail in four
automobiles A sack was placed over
his head and it was tied with a rope
The mob rushed to a bridge and after
a whispered consultation they drove
INTO the country several miles and re-
leased Wood with orders to beat it,"
Later the mob returned and began
search for their intended victim, who
hid in heavy timber lands He re
NAMED there during a rainy night and
was rescued in the morning when al

Susanville is lumber district and
is controlled by the Westwood Lumber
Company In Westwood there are

This street and all others in this

to use them is revocable at any time
The 10-hour day prevails there
Room rents range from $125 to $1.75
day and from 81 to $3.50 day in
hotels. Living costs are higher than
in almost any other section of the
state, and in the mills there is a labor
turnover of Is per cent.
1t is stated that on the day of the
mobbing the man who lights the
streets was ordered not to turn on
the lights until he was notified, be-
cause there was something doing that
/ evening"

North Third street were afraid to
breathe for fear one of the big special
sluggers would drag them to jail If
one looked cross-eyed at the Niles
building he was liable to be slugged
AT the time the decree was issued,
Attorney Shank for the union, appeal
ed the case to the court of appeals,
holding that the federal court had no
jurisdiction in such a matter. The
court of appeals reversed Judge Safer
in his injunction and the Niles -Bement-
Pond Co. took the case to the Unitel
States supreme court. Monday this
court handed down its decision in
which it upheld the court of appeals
The molders won out, but in the
meantime the Niles Company has had
the benefit of favorable court de
cision all during these three years.
That's the justice of the thing the
law part of it. That is one of the
reasons why strikers often take things
(unlaWfully) in their own hands be-
cause they know they are a long time
getting justice from the courts. But
at that, the victory of the union in
this case is not altogether vainglor-
oius.The workers, perhaps, do not
get direct benefit from it, but labor
generally may do SO. Just short
time ago in the case against the Gin
ncinati machinists brought in Ken
lucky, the court cited the Judge Safer
injunction, and based its decision on
this case. So that in some future case,
wherein labor is concerned, labor may
get the benefit of the local organiza-
tion's victory
Shank & Shank, the attorneys rep
resenting the union in this case, are
certainly to be congratulated for the
able uanner in which they conducted

MERCHANT MARINE
Cost Is Passed Along To
Taxi ayers

New York By the terms Of a new
contract for the management of gov
ernment-oWned merchant vessels, pri-
vate ship companies are assured a pro-
fit and the United States shipping
board assumes all risk, according to
Reuben A Lewis, in the Annalist, fl
nancial paper
1t is stated that the terms Of the
contract are not generally known to
the public The shipping board has
agreed to pay all expenses incurred
by the ships on their voyages and to
give to the ship companies 5 per cent
Of the gross freight money on outward
voyages and 20 per cent on the in
coming trips This replaces the old
contract which provided for the pay
ment Of a small fixed sum per dead
weight ton and division Of profits,
provided there We're any
The writer says ii is doubtful if the
agreement is one over which the tax
payers viii enthuse The companies
to which the government board CON
sign the ships for operation de not
risk a single cent in the management
and operation Of property worth more
than 100000 000 The agreement
dates back to March last and it is
predicted that the incomes Of the
steamship companies for this year viii
be far in excess Of what it otherwise
would have been.
There seems to be little doubt but
the unheralded agreement-which few
taxpayers know is III existence-wiu
prove a severe drain upon the treas
ury Thus far the shipping board has
not made any demands upon the ex-
chequer, but it must be recalled that
the millions of dollars which it de-
rives from the sale Of ships may be
applied to meet any deficits incurred
through operation"

ANTI-UNIONISTS QUIT

Worcester, Mass The 17-months'
strike of iron molders against the
Reed Prentice and the Whitcomb-
Blaisdell companies has brought
about the designations of the general
managers of the two concerns. These
gentlemen are prominent in national
anti-trade union associations and a
year and one-half ago gaily announced
that their shops would be operated on
the non-union shop basis.
The iron molders replied: Go to
il, but we won't work for you" It
is whispered that the companies have
lost nearly half million dollars.
Much of this money was used to inn
port strikebreakers and thugs.

snow has disappeared from all parts of winter range. Reports to the weather bureau indicate that continued dry weather has materially reduced the water supply in many sections, but that the range continues fair to excel lent generally, and stock are holding up remarkably well. Traces of snow appear in spots about the Grand Can yon where an inch of snow fell last Friday. Cattle are in good shape in that section and the range continues fair. Over the northeastern plateau stock are looking well although water is scarce. Shipments continue from Pinto, Holbrook and other points on the Santa Fe. The light precipitation that occurred in the vicinity of Will Hams did little to relieve the dry con- dition in that section. Little change is reported in the condition of stock or range in the Nogales and Prescott sections. Water is scarce in the Doug las section and the range has become dry; the condition of cattle is reported as unfavorable. Cold nights have caused some shrinkage of stock in the Pinedale section; shipments continue and cattle shortage is threatened.

Crop Progress in, Arizona.


 The southern valleys during the last week have been subjected to the low est temperatures of the season and as a consequence garden truck, beans, to- matoes and other tender vegetation, hitherto untouched by frost, have been killed. Cotton plants, except in the most favored spots, have been killed and further development of immature bolls need not be expected. In num- Der of sections citrus leaves have been blasted by frost while in others the leaves of lemon trees are untouched. Grape fruit and oranges have suffer ed no damage from the cold nights. Favored by dry weather cotton pick. ing has made excellent progress and fully sixty per cent of the present crop has been gathered. Owing to the prevalence of fair, dry weather since cotton picking began the crop has been gathered in an unusually good condition.
