of one of local import, sent them TO
the Senate, adopted number Of
second reading bills and rejected
others.
The disquiet manifested by the
members of the House yesterday be-
cause of the prevelancy of influenza

clear cut talk told them that they

DID TRADE
REASONS AFFECT
HIGH COURT?

Washington = Public policy and
trade, rather than law, caused the
United States supreme court to refuse
to dissolve the steel trust
This claim is made not by 'agi-
tators who would overthrow the gov
ernment," but by three members Of
the court who dissented from the ma
jority opinion
Associate Justice Day made this
stingeng comment on the majorety
opinion, which was agreed to by JUS
tices Ptney and Clarke.
"As | understand the conclusions
of the court affirming the decress di-
recting dismissal of the bill, they
amount to this: That these combina-
tions, both the holding company and
the subsidiaries which comprise it, al
though organized in plain violation
and bold defiance of the provisions of
the act, nevertheless are immune from
a decree effectually ending the COM
binations and putting it out of their
power to attain the unlawful purpose
sought, because of some reasons of
public policy requiring such conclu-
sion.
Il know of no public policy which
sanctions violation of the law, nor
of any inconvenience to trade, domes-
tic or foreign, which should have the
effect of placing combinations, which

BOGEY MAN
Is Always Handy For La
boris Enemies

Sydney, N. S. W., Australia" -"The
enemies of labor can't do without a
bogey," says the Australian Worker,
1T is the first necessity Of their polit-
cial lives. Without it they are quite
undone.
More especially at election time.
If they didn't have bogey they'd be
in a deuce Of a fix.
"They can't argue, because they
have no case. Reasoning is something
clean out of their line. Facts and
the methods of logic are abhorrent to
them.
"They don't try to convince the in
telligent. Criticism based upon truth
is the last thing in the world of which
they think.
"A bogey-a horrifying, blood
curdling bogey-is their one desire.
To that they pin their faith. On that
they stake their all.
"The l. w. w. as bogey is play
ed out. 1t was hair-raising spec
tre in its day, and they worked it
with tremendous effect. But it's done
now-so weak in the joints and gener-
ally decrepit that no reliance can be
placed on it.
"As for the one big union-they
anticipated great results from it once;
it was a very promising bogey, in
deed But something went wrong
1t seemed to fade away and become
vapory and pale.
And what is wanted is bogey
in a solid, substantial, heavyweight
appearance large terribleness that
will cause the people to gasp anc
trembel at its size
so they're turning their attention
to the recognized Australian Workers
Union.
If they can contrive to make a
bogey of that great organization il
might save the situation for them.
"The word has, therefore, gone
forth A quantity of mud and a pot
Of red paint have been secured.
"The process of manufacturing a
bogey has begun"

BOY SCOUT WIRELESS

In cooperation with the Board of
Education, the Hamilton Council Boy
Scouts of America have developed a
program in wireless that furthers the
progress of wireless work in Hamil-
ton Under the direction of Mr.. Ira
Dye, chief scout signaller for the
council, wireless station has been
set up in room 313 of Hamilton high
school Mr. Dye was for some time
a radio engineer doing special work
for the navy department in Panama.
He has for his assistants Mr. Willard
Diehl and Mr.. Cecil Hopkins, both ex-
perienced operators.
All the amateurs in Hamilton can
take part in the program. Besides
the regular instruction group, and the
scout signal units, any amateur who
has, or wants to make d receiving set,
can take part in the program by send
ing in his call or registering at scout
headquarters. In fact all local anna
teurs who have receiving sets at home
are urged to send their calls and enter
into the practice work. As soon as a
number have been sent in, message
viii be sent out at stated times and
contests in receiving viii be arranged.
Nearly all amateurs have trouble
receiving either the government mes
sages or commercial messages. The
professional operators and the high
power stations send out messages
that are too fast for the beginner
The plan will be to send out easy
messages at first, and then gradually
increase the speed and variety until
the beginners are able to receive any
message.
An instruction class will be held
each Thursday evening at 7:30 in
room 313 to include practice in receiv-
ing, the theory Of wireless and the
actual work of making a receiving
set which any boy can do at small
cost.
Local amateurs are asked to send
their calls by mail to box 2l9 or phone

YOU CAN'T BEAT IT

Some of the high school boys Of
Butte, Montana, conceived a scheme
to beat the high cost of living and
make it possible for some of the
children who cared for an education
to get it without being embarrassed
by lack Of the proper clothing. They
adopted overalls and corduroys as the
school uniforms and the teachers fol
lowed suit with corduroys. The girls
came in line with bungalow aprons,
But just to convince the common peo-
pie that they still have clutch on
the pocketbook regardless Of any at
tempts to shake them loose, the cloth
ing men Of Butte Immediately raised
the price of overalls fifty cents per
pair, and corduroys, two dollars a
pair.
Can you beat it?

law forbidding such combinations.
"Such a conclusion does violence to

in more than a state of fairly salts
factory comfort. 1t would be possible
to produce volumes of statistics to
show that his condition at that time
was condition in which he had little
surplus for saving and none at all for
anything that could be called extrav-
agance. The earning power of the av-
erage American worker is less today
according to the statistics of the de-
partment of labor, than it was in 1913.
This condition applies to the over
whelming majority of the American
people. 1t does not, of course, apply
to that small proportion of the pop
ulation whose income is always so
far in advance of the amount re-
quired to purchase life's necessities
and Injuries. Nor does it apply to
that small yet powerful group of
greedy persons whom we have come
to know as profteers.
"In point of intimate appeal to the
average American individual, there is
no issue that today approaches this.
There has been an Indifference in
official circles that is astounding and
an impotence that is inexcusable. Sen
ators and congressman have used their
time and their offices for political pur-
poses, which have meant nothing to
the people, except it be shame and dis
grace Bells have been rung and
great pronouncements have been
made heralding action on the prob
lem Of the cost of living. Nothing
has come of this ringing of bells and
of these pronouncements.
