ILLEGAL STRIKE
DEFINED

Springfield, Ill Dudley Taylor,
representing Illinois manufacturers,
before the state constitutional conven-
ton, favored the injunction writ in
cases Of 'ilegal strikes
He was pinned down BY William J..
Sneed, delegate to the convention
and a member Of the Miners Union, to
define an Illegal strike, and the attor-
ney replied
= have spoken of one, l presume
before you came in, as sympathetic
strike
Mr.. sneed- THAT was an illustra-
tion. 1t was not a definition Of an
illegal strike in your own language
Mr. Taylor" An Illegal strike is
one IN violation Of contract or agree
ment, that might be one; it might be
one for the purpose of committing an
injury without any benefit involved
for the union, no justification for it.
might be another
Mr.. Sneed- Well, that is true; have
you another in mind ?"
Mr. Taylor-"l do not think Of any
more at the present time"

queer Wedding Presents.

The following are few of the many
curious wedding presents that have
been received by those about to enter
the bonds of matrimony.
A well-known author received on
his marriage, from rival man of let
ters, a scrapbook containing collec-
tion Of all the adverse criticisms his
works had ever received; while a
popular artist was on similar occasion
presented with q set Of elementary
works upon self-instruction In drawing
and painting.
Unusually yexatlous was the gift re-
ceived from his neighbors by an infrm
octogenarian who had married q
pleasure-loving woman more than fifty
years his junior. 1t took the form of
a large brass cage, "intended" so ran
the accompanying note"to restrain
the wayward flight of giddy young
wife who had married a decrepit old
fool for his money"

Tlmld Old Soul

My aunt was a timid old soul and
was quite afraid Of holdups. For safe
keeping she always put her money In
her stocking. One day when she was
going to do some Christmas shopping
she thought she would play joke on
the holdups. She put the money in her
pocket and carried her purse. In the
purse she put newspaper crumpled up.
She kept her hand In the pocket that
had the purse and walked along mer-
riIy. But to her surprise when she
had purchased her needs she reached
for the money, but it was missing.
Then, forgetting, she reached for her
pocketbook and pulled out the paper
She had to give back all the articles
and walk home empty-handed.-C Chica-
go Tribune.

WAS BIG BIZ
PATRIOTIC?
While Men Risked Lives In
War Big Interests Play
ed For Higher
Prices

New York.-The claim that business
must be stimulated by big profits in
war time was handled without gloves
by Congressman Griffin, Of New York
who said men risked their lives on the
battle field, while business men were
demanding high prices "in order to
stimulate them to produce things es-
sential for the conduct Of the war
The ordinary, time-honored, but
yet revered spirit of patriotism was to
be sufficient to stimulate the mechanic,
the farmer the clerk, the teacher, and
the laborer." said the lawmaker
These must skimp themselves out
of meager salaries to buy liberty
bonds; but the great masters Of in
dustry. the finaaciers and big produc
ers. must forsooth have the eneour-
agement Of war profits. With this eX-
ampl before them Of paternalistia
governmental indulgence, was it any
wonder that all others neglected IN
the beginning, should strive to come
under the patriarchal cloak Wher
all were safely sheltered under thi.
vicious precedent, then labor asserted
itself and claimed the right TO en-
HANGED compensation,
Nor can they be blamed for that
When they were compelled TO pay i
and 18 cents a bottle for milk to keel
life in their babies; 10 cents fer .
cent loaf Of bread and double prices al
along the line for meats and vege
tables, clothing and the necessities o
life, were they far astray from tn
equities when they demanded only
proportional increase in wages2 Whe
the corporate gougers found that tn
payment Of increased wages cut deep
IN into their profits their next ste
was to increase their profits"

SHIP YARD STRIKERS
STICK
q "a

San Francisco, With the approach
Of summer the 10000 ship yard strik-
ers, who have been out for eight
months, report prospects are brighter
than at any time since the ship yard
managers refused to pay wage in
crease that they agreed to. The
strikebreakers are leaving the plant
for activities less strenuous, and many
of the strikers are entering employ
ments that open up during the sum
mer months The companies announce
that ships are being produced, but the
strikers know the purpose Of this
propaganda.
The yards are completely disorgan-
lied, and every day that the managers
postpone an inevitable adjustment the
number of strikers who are leaving
this vicinity for other localities in
creases.

DOLLAR WORTH 80
CENTS

Washington The present pur
chasing power Of the American dol
lar Is worth but 80 cents, said PRO.
fessor Irving Fisher, Of Yale Univer-
sity, in an address before the south
ern sociological congress.
The speaker said the gyralions OF
The American dollar was the chef
cause Of the high cost Of living AMI
t4at Il trained the credulity Of the
people to say that cotton, wheat,
beef and other commodities were high
because they were scarce.
The great evil Of the high cost Of
living, said Professor Fisher is found
ii the fact that incomes and prices
do not 20 up in unison and social in
justice is created BY this failure. Fifty
per cent Of the labor discomfort in
this country, he said, can be attributed
70 the reduced purchasing power of the
dollar

Mr.. J. F. Oaks, OF Route 1 Iuka
was an Iuka visitor this week.

No longer is it true that the
young are seen but not heard. At
our Lyceum numbers, Commence
ment exercises, the opening OF
school and other things Of this ma
ture, a few chattering girls and a
like number of brainless boys make
it impossible for persons at the back
of the house to hear what is going
on. This is an injustice and should
come to an end. A committee
should be appointed to take the
names of these pests and they should
be requested to stay away from the
next public entertainment. Some
persons are unavoidably detained
and have to sit in the back Of the
house and they have right to hear
what is going on. Is there any
reason why parents canuot sit with
their children and keep them from
being a nuisance? The impression
given is that the whole audience i,
| i'll bred when it is only part.

KEYsER UNDER BOND

--aatA :,
Last Saturday A. j. Keyser Cap
was before Justice C. Z. Rice ON a
charge preferred by George Wolyer
ton that the defendant had sent him
threatening letter, complaining that
Wolverton and others of his neighbors
IN the Canon creek country were gull
ty of allowing their cattle to run over
and range on the land of the defend,
ant, and warning them that if the
practice WIS continued he, (Keyserl
would shoot and kill the aforesaid
stock.
District Attorney Delaney was rep
resented by j. w. Bell. and c. ".
Taylor represented the defendant who
Notwithstanding his land is rocky and
mountainous and, except for very
small portion of the same, is fencer,
insists that he doesn' t want the cattle
of Wolverton and other ncighbors on
his land, fence or no fence, and

that do not respect his wishes.
The testimony brought the fact that
Keyser has one-eighth of au acre of
ground in Strawberries and that last
season he put up ton and quarter
of hay, and the court thought he fail
ed to prove that any portion of his
landed possessions had been damaged
by the rowing bossies of his neigh
bors to an extent that would Justify
threatening letter, such as Mr.. VOL
verton received, the authorship of
which Mr.. Keyser did not deny.
sides Mr.. Wolverton. Adolph Hen
bricks and Bert Tibbetts appeared as
witnesses for the prosecution.
Tho court found the defendant
"u'lty of unwarranted threats, and
held that Keyscr should give bond
n. the sum Of $500, conditioned on the
promise of the defendant to keep the
peace and to desist from further
threats or acts of violence. Accord.
ingly the defendant executed bond
to that effect, lack Doll of New
Castle solving as his bondsman.
