evidence of the first instance of de-

service agent by order Of the "court

here, it was learned.
A reliable investigation into the
death of Harry Quinnlisk revealed
that he was sentenced to death by a
Sim Fein court martial.
Quinnlsk was arrested and led into
a lonely field at midnight and was
shot down, it was learned.
The proceedings throughout were
dramatic in the extreme. Quinnlisk
stood in the center Of the Sim Fein-

were read by the rays Of a flashlight
The document recited the charges
against Quinnlisk and all testimony
or evidence to substantiate Quinn.

court that he was a spy and that he
be executed.
The man was allowed three min.

(By the Federated Press.

London, Feb. 25.--What is de-
scribed as a phenomenal growth in
the organization of shop assistants
(clerks), warehouse men and civil
service employees has taken place in
England during 1919. Although the
exact figures are not yet complete,
it is, estimated that thc National
Amalgamat"d union of these three
classes Of workers has increased by
10000. During January and Febru-
ary the advance continued, about
1000 new members being admitted
weekly.
The weekly income of the union
varies from $4,000 to $4,000 be-
sides the state insurance contribu-
tons.
Negotiations to obtain the opera
ton of the unions minimum wage
scale are progressing very rapidly

Mr.. Townlcy held the attention Of
the delegates during an hour of
silence broken only by laughter or
applause. He made 4 telling speech
during which he said they werc as
surcd OF success in North Dakota,
Minnesota and Washington. He said
they had better than an even break
in South Dakota and Idaho and all
they needed in Montana was the will
to win.
Mr.. Townley's address was one Of
the most remarkable addresses ever
delivered before a body Of organized
labor in the state.
Many resolutions were introduced
this morning, dealing with the rec
ognition of the Russian Soviet re-
public, freedom for Ireand, India
and Egypt. The resolution commit
tee so far has made but a brief re-
port. 1t was expected to have 20
resolutions ready for action by the
convention this afternoon.
The Palace theater was jammed

State Federation presided.
A dramatic incident during the
meeting came when A. D. Stillman.
on behalf of the farmers, presented
the president OF the State Fedora
tion Of Labor with $4,000 signatures
to the compensation law petitions.
The names were mostly those of
farmers. Stillman said that as the
farmers had opposed the former ini-
tiative law, they now saw the error
of their ways and were making
amends,
Governor Frazier of North Da-
kota made wonderful address.
There was no sign of his previous
cautious attitude. He openly chal-
| lenged the oppressive interests Of
the nation. Many of the delegates
remarked with smiles, "the day OF

What the machinery i'm question

nothing TO do with the amount to
which its private owner is justly en-
titled now. Roughly, u dollar is
worth only onc-half it's yalUc in
1917. And for tho dollars loss in
buying power the United States gov-
ctnmcnt is wholly responsible.
Why? Because the government,
instead Of taxing wealth in this gen
Grafton to pay for the war, dclibcr-
atc'y decided that postcrity should
bear the financial burden. 10 post
p0nc The war cost, the government
had recourse to the printing press
and doubled the amount OF paper

The new money put into circulation,

little change in the appearance of

There also was a possibility that tho
