cO-EDS PREPARE TO
TAKE UP BASE BALL

College of Idaho co-eds are
out after a base ball team. In
fact they have already begun to
boast of cleaning up the COL
lege varsity. In the future if
any one should see a college
girl hobbling around with a
broken leg or other slight ac-
cidents that person should re-
member that the base ball bat

when thrown promiscously out

cent fielding are no doubt the
real arts which the co-eds base

that no provision was made in the pc

ALL EMPLOYERS

Nampa Contractors Launch
Movement Toward Gen.
eral Organization

Nampa-Special--At a meeting OF
buildinf contractors held here Mon
day morning determination was
reached to take before the board Of di-
rccto,s Of the Chamber Of Commerce
at their regular meekly luncheon this
morning, a request for general
Chamber Of Commerce meeting to be
held shortly in the interests of the or
ganization of employers organiza
ton. All employers of labor, whether
organized or not, will be asked to at
tend the general meeting,
Call for this meeting is direct re-
suit of a peculiar labor situation which
arose here last week when the Nampa
labor council ordered 80 men to walk
out on work being done by John D
Wells, local contractor who has
about $4,000 of construction work
under way The trouble arose some
two weeks ago, when Mr.. Wells had
crew of piasterers working on the
Printing residence on Sixteenth ave-
nue.. The regular foreman on the
job took sick and was forced to go to
Lava Hot Springs for treatment. He
made arrangements with Mr.. Wells
to pay off the men at noon the fol
lowing Saturday. The rules OF the
plasterers' union require that the en-
ployer be on the job each Saturday
noon to pay off the men incash.
Quit Job for Pay.
Just as Mr.. Wells was leaving his
office about HAS a. m. on the Sat
urday in question. the men walked
into his office and demanded their
pay. Mr.. Wells protested their action
in leaving the job before noon, when
he would have been there to pay
them, but they told him their union
rules permitted them to take an hour
off on Saturday to collect their pay,
and he agreed to settle on this basis,
paying them full time until Saturday
noon at the rate of 50 per day. One
Of the men, man by the name of
Byers, refused to accept his pay check
stating that he was entitled to $40 a
day. as he had been acting as foreman
on the job. Wells told Byers he was
acting as foreman only on his own
authority for he had not appointed
successor to his regular foreman, and
declared that no one had right to
appoint his foremen for him. Byers
held out and refused to settle except
upon the basis of SO per day. which
Wells refused to recognize.
Committee Ignored.
The dispute was laid before the
plasterers union and then before the
central labor council, as a result of
which the executive committee of the
labor council was delegated to wait
upon Wells and arbitrate the matter
After hearing Wells side of the con-
troversy, members of the executive
committee approved his stand and
some Of them expressed the opinion
that they would have done as Wells
did, But the committee reported back
to the central labor council. that body
OVERRIDE their views and insisted that
Wells be forced to pay the extra
amount to Byers, on the ground that
Byers had been acting as foreman and
was entitled to extra pay for that
reason.
Another request was made of Wells,
which he again refused. The matter
came to head last Wednesday when
the business agent" of the labor coun
cil man by the name Of Gibbs. Wis

men n ouit vork

ATTORNEY BOWS
OUT OF OFFICE
Commissioners Accept ResIg'
nation Of County Attorney
Curtis Hayden

Canyon county commissioners FRI
day accepted the resignation of Curtis
Hayden as county attorney to take
effect Saturday night Mr., Hayden
rendered his resignation Friday morn
ing.
"A multitude of irritating matters
due to after war conditions. and a
belief that court prosecutions alone
will not fulfill the requirements" led
Mr.. Hayden to submit his resignation
in order that he might devote what
time he had to other methods Of aid
ing reconstruction problems.
His letter, addressed to the board
of county commissioners, is as fol-
lows:
March 5. 1920.
Board of County Commissioners.
Canyon County, Idaho.
Gentlemen
II hereby tender you my resigna-
ton as County Attorney, to be effec-
tive at your earliest convenience.
am advised this step will not inter
fere with any county cases now on
the court calendar by your District
judge.
an taking this action am not un-
mindful of my obligations to the peo-
pie of the County at the time of &C
cepting office. The war is now over,
and entirely different conditions now
prevail There is nothing before the
office to my knowledge of serious
import demanding attention There
are, however, a multitude of irritating
matters due to after-war conditions.
| am convinced that court prosecu-
tons alone will not fulfill the require
ments; and probably not until the war
excitement has fully subsidized, and a
concerted community action is taken
will the condition be fully relieved.
an my opinion we have wholly
failed so far to properly meet the
many problems of our returned SOL
diers, and boys who were just begin
ming to be soldiers. Very many OF
them are entirely out of line with their
former lives. and out of touch with
their former stations. They are not
in position to return to school un-
der congenial conditions. They are
premature in many ways; in others
still mere boys. They are entitled
to training and exercise both mental
and physical that will keep them oc-
cupied and give them self control.
"T feel can better be of service
along these lines out of office than in
and in this shall be glad to help a,
any time. For the rest I feel I am
justified in asking to be relieved OIL
the duties of the office, that I ma,
give my attention to personal ant
private affairs.
Very respectfully.
CURTIS HAYDON,
Prosecuting Attorney"
The letter occasioned little surprise
1t has been known for some time tina
Mr.. Hayden was rather displeases
with conditions. While no mentor
was made in the letter of the matter
it is understood that lack of harmon,
between the offices respectively of tn,
county attorney and the sheriff
which is said to have interfered will
the work of prosecution, was largel,
instrumental in prompting Mr. Hay
don to tender his resignation.

INTIMATE D|SCOURSEs

There are whole lot OF persons
here who make stranger feel at
home. The other afternoon l took
walk over a wide range OF the
residential section.
I had not gone far before an Old
gentleman with fishing rod over
. took me. He began talking about the
pretty weather. Then l asked him 1t
lie had any luck at the lake. He said
the fish wouldn't bite, but that he
was going to try it again the next
day. And fish are just that way. You
might fish your right arm off some
days and not get bite, and then go
back to the very same spot the fol-
lowing day and catch all Of your
pockets full.
When we reached the house where
the old man lived he asked me If
wouldn't come in and sit on the
porch. did not accept, but I'll al
ways have kindly feeling for the old
man, because he did not treat me like
! the total stranger I was.
Next came across two little girls
sitting on the curb trying to fix ont
OF their skates. They asked me if
would not fix it for them. told then
n knew nothing in the world abou
machinery but that would try it
l sat down and we soon had tn
skate in running order. And one o
them, as pay for my services as
mechanician, rendered me two mic
tangerines.
Soon l passed paling fence whic
enclosed garden. From among tn
vegetables a man raised up from hi
work and waved a good-afternoon t
me-just like he had known me a.
my life.
Then | turned corner and ha
not passed many homes before
found myself approaching man VIII
was setting string of fence posts
He seemed to be rebuilding fenc
running from the front walk to til
rear of the lot. He had set about ha
of the posts, and now seemed to
in doubt. So he hailed me andaske
me to sight down the string Of pos
to see if they were in line. / did :
and found two of the posts were n
set straight. He stopped and sat dow
and we talked for ten or fifteen mi
rites. Only one thing bothered my i
ner conscience. | was afraid he WI
working for someone else and by Il
hour, but he told me before I Il
that he owned the property.
Leaving him l headed in the dire
tion of the business section, and
a block or two came across a couI
of girls who were trying to get thu
Ford started. 1t wouldn't hop lie
cranked it for them, and then tn
invited me to get in and ride if we
going to town. But l thought I'd b
ter not, as l knew my wife was
town, and all husbands are more
less under suspicion more or less
the time.
Now these are simple little in
dents, but they do make stranl
feel that he is no longer a strang
and as soon as a newcomer begins
feel like he is not stranger he
going to begin to feel at home.
