individuals or partners, would neither
engage in competitive stage business
on the same route nor advertise or
otherwise aid and encourage COMPETE

from Johnson in August, Stewart
claims that he became a successor in
interest to this contract obligation.
For cause of action he alleges that
in October or November, after he
bought out Johnson, the Knox COM
pany sold stage auto to Fred
thompson on an agreement that
Thompson should operate the ma
chine on the Shelton route. Thomp-
son is represented as a stage driver
that Stewart had discharged 1t is
further alleged that the Knox garage
was advertised and used as the Olym-
pia terminal for Thompson's stage

time for departure set half an hour

SHELTON STAGE LINE
GETS INTO COURT
Il. NJ. STEWART SUES KNOX AUTO
SERVICE FOR $1,000 ALI
LEGGED DAMAGES.

Lester Martin Stewart, who ope-
rates a stage line between Olympia
and Shelton, filed suit Monday in the
superior court against Clinton B.
Knox and Harry l.. Knox, co-partners
doing business as the Knox Auto Ser
vice, asking for $1,000 damages on
the contention that his business has
been ruined to this amount because
the defendants have broken an al
legged contract and because the de-
PENDANTS have been active in aiding
and sponsoring another stage line be-
tween Shelton and Olympia.
c. B. Knox is a member of the
Olympia city council and the Knox
Auto Service is one of the oldest au-
tomobile firms in Olympia.
Mr.. Stewart divides his losses as
follows: One thousand dollars loss
on terminal facilities; $4,000 loss
because of the competitive stage lines
which have been installed; $1,O56
loss on one of the competitive stage
lines and $500 loss on another one of
the stage lines operating in opposi-
ton to that run by Mr.. Stewart
The plaintiff also asks that the
court issue a restraining order pro-
hibiting the defendants from contin-
uing to promote and aid stage line
from Olympia to Shelton and also re-
straining the defendants from dissolv-
ing partnership until the close of the
present case.
Stewart sues as successor to W. A.
Johnson of Shelton in ownership and
operation of the Olympia-Shelton mail
stage. He sets pu claim that the
Knox company organized this auto
stage service and sold it last Febru-
airy to johnson under contract condi-

In World

Announcement is made by Director r.
G. Cholmeley-Jones that, thru the adop-
ton of improved methods and equip
ment. a plan to achieve an annual say
ing of approximately. $500 100000 IN
the administration of the Bureau of
War Risk Insurance has been inaugu.
rated and, by June 80 of the present
year will have become an established
regime. The Bureau not only has now
reached a current basis in it's work, but
the improved methods which have been
installed have made possible at the
same time a reduction of the personnel
from $4,000 as of last July, to approxi-
mately 5000 as of date, with a schedule
of further reduction ahead which, car
ried into effect. will reduce the person.
mel to approximately $500 by June 80
thus virtually cutting in half the Bur-
eau's basic payroll in the course of the
fiscal year.
The latest figures made public by the
Director show that the Bureau of War
Risk insurance has grown to include
five Of the largest businesses and organ
izations Of their kind in the world, sum-

THE POST HEARING

Louis F. Post, assistant secretary
of labor, got first chance to reply
to the attacks made upon him by the
bipartisan terrorist element when he
came before the house rules commit
tee. In mute sign of their support of
his position there appeared in the
hearing room a majority of the legis-
lative representatives of organized
labor and the organized progressive
farmers, as we'll as liberal publicists,
single takers and advocates of civil
liberties. Post did not so much de-
fend his own official act as to show
the committee that it had been vic
timized by lot of fanatics who had
failed to submit one particle of real
evidence in the deportation cases
which were made the basis of the
impeachment resolution introduced in
the house by Representative Hoch of
Kansas. Chairman Phil Campbell of
Kansas tried to sidestep the issue
when Post demanded that the actual
evidence upon which the department
of labor decided the deportation cases
be put into the record. Post insisted
and won the struggle. After that, all
Post had to do was to read from the
evidence, proving the correctness of
each of long series of decisions that
had been falsely pictured in the jun
ker press.

GOOD BILLS sMoTHERED
Packer legislation, soldier bonus or
''adjusted compensation" legislation,
and even the Capper-Hersmann bill,
which would prevent farm co-opera-
tive organization from being indicted
under the antitrust law, is being
chopped to pieces or smothered. Con-
gress is so sure that the terrorism
conducted by Attorney General Pal
mer and the federal administration
on the one hand and by the profteer
press on the other will swing the No.
vember election in favor Of reaction
airy candidates that all fear Of the peo-
pie seems to have been cast aside. We
are to have the Wood-Palmer doctrine
of repression from now until ad-
journment, unless new Jolt is admin
tstered by the country.
The Kent retail marketing feature,
the licensing feature, and even the
federal commission feature have been
cut out Of the Anderson bill dealing
with the control of the meat packers
1t now appears likely that even the
worthless skeleton that is left in the
hands Of the house committee on agri-
culture will die in the house.
Soldier sentiment on the adjusted
compensation or bonus is probably SO
per cent in favor of immediate legis-
lation. But few officers and a ma
jority of the old crowd politicians in
congress have discovered that the
profteering interests will have to foot
the bill of expense, amounting to
about two billions. They are STAN
peding away from any action until
after the election in November" to
quote Representative Knutson of Min
nesota, the majority whip. Mondell,
Knutson, Volstead, STEVENSON, Joe
Cannon and other heavy statesmen of
+ the house are trying to find a way to
evade the issue until they shall be
safe from punishment by the soldier
| vote.
The conservative farmers thought
that the Capper-Hersmann bill, sup
ported by all the farmers and by or
ganized labor, would go sailing
through the house and senate. But
now they are notified that the VOL
stead amendment must be taken as
| substitute. The Volstead amendment
limits the profits of farmer cooper
| atives and provides penalties for more
successful operation. It conceded that
farmers who belong to co-operatives
shall be excused from prison terms
for their offense in cooperating, but
it does not permit them to have the
same business freedom as is given the
United States Steel CORPORATION.
