1T has never been so essential as
now for unorganized labor to rally to

Gompers said that, while the men

involved, and that organized labor, as

UNION SHOP STRIKE
ILLEGAL

Portland, Ore-The Jewelry Work
ers' Union has asked the state su-
preme court to review decision
against these workers in which the
the court held that picketing to en-
force collective bargaining, or the
union shop, is illegal.
The court upheld the Oregon anti
injunction law, which permits picket
ing, but made an exception in the case
of the jewelry workers If the deci-
sion stands the court will be in the
position of accepting a law which le-
galizes picketing, but retains the right
to say what strikes come under the
law.
Attorneys for the jewelry workers
insist that the court has no juris-
diction to consider the object of
strike in passing upon the right to
picket, and that the court erred when
it ruled that a strike for recognition
of the union is not trade dispute
or controversy within the meaning of
that law
Two judges of the supreme court
handed down strong dissenting opin-
ions.

EDISON DEVICES
Great Aid to u. S. Navy In
Defeating U-BOats

The Sunday New York American
publishes the following dispatch from
Washington:
The part American ingenuity played
in winning the war is disclosed in a
history of the naval consulting board
of the United States, made public by
Secretary Daniels today
The volume reveals achievements
which, if projected decade ago, prob
ably would have been ridiculed as
visionary" Chief among these was
device by which the launching of
torpedo could be heard on shipboard
1000 yards away or further than
torpedo can be effectively launched
from submarine.
This invention was but one of
score or more contributed by Thomas
A. Edison, president of the board.
Mr. Edison appears to have been
the moving spirit Of the board. For
saking his laboratories at the out
break of the war, ne practically be-
came a naval officer He spent most
of his time in the navy department
offices here, and took long deep sea
cruises that he might be in closer
touch with the problems to be solved
His Listening Device"
Because of the German submarine
menace, ship protection claimed most
of his attention of the board To this
problem Mr.. Edison devoted his ira
ditional twenty-hours' working days,
and after overcoming many obstacles
finally perfected his listening device.
This contrivance was in the form Of
an outrigger suspended from the bow
spirit of vessel and containing an
immense photograph diaphragm,
thus making it possible for the device
to work perfectly even when the ship
was blowing at full speed through the
toughest seas.
With this device boats moving 1900
yards away could be readily heard
while the vessel was going at full
speed. A submarine bell five and one
half miles away could also be heard
while big storm was in progress and
the boat also proceeding at full speed.
Other wartime inventions by Mr.,
Edison was the drag" device for
the quick turning of vessel whenever
the detector indicated that torpedo
was coming in the vessels direction;
convoy light visible to all the yes
sells in the convoy but invisible from
the decks Of a submarine; an under
water searchlight capable of throwing
rays 200 feet; projectile that would
enter the water from an angle instead
of ricocheting; stabilizer for sub
merged submarines, and time fuse
to cause shrapnel to burst only six
feet above the ground
Mr.. Edison also invented many other
devices that were of great aid to the
U. S. navy in fighting the Uboats of
the enemy

EUEE BELD SOCK SALE is A
SUCCESS

The first pure bred stock sale
for this section has passed into
history, and, everything consider
ed, it can be pronounced a decided
success, says the Quinn Courant.
The pessimists-and they were
not a few-who predicted a fail
ure, will now have to find some
thing else to grumble about.
1t is true that prices were not
as high as have been obtained at
many similar sales, nor as high as
the merit of the offering deserved.
But this is the history of pioneer
pure stock sales. The initial sales
are losing ventures and stock sells
below actual value. However,
there must be first sale, and the
Messrs. Helms and Hildebrandt, by
breaking the ice, have opened the

Shorthorn cattle were first put on
sale. Thirty-six head were sold
for a total of S5,2S6.00, an average
of $4,000 head. When it is con-
sidered that nearly one-half of the
offerings were yearlings and un-
der this is a pretty satisfactory
figure.
The highest price was paid by
Frank Wray from Kadoka, who
gave S235.0O for Campfire, a twen-
ty one months old bull. Henry
Render got Daisy, five year old
COW, forS225.00 and Huron Stamp

Many instances Of exploits OF
personal heroism on the western
front, such as won for the Red
Men in France the nickname of

deadly accuracy of their rifles IN

which it is contended would be
wasted if the indians are denied a

Expertness at scouting and pa

in unknown territory, disregard
for personal danger under fire,
and unfaltering loyalty were am
