The sign warning strikebreakefs is
perhaps, typical of the sentiment OF
the community regarding the trouble
The strikers constitute the heads of
most of the families in the village
There are approximately $50 of them
when the local mill is running under
normal conditions. The men are mostly
English speaking people although about
10 per cent are Poles. Many of them
own their own homes and although they
have been out of the mill since Nav
!, when the reduction in wages in the
paper mills of the east went into eff
feet, they have been piecing out their
incomes by various occupations
throughout this section, farming, as
sisting in timber jobs and taking other
work as it opened up. 1t is said that
one of the strikers has applied for
strike pay, which, under their constitu-
tion, amounts to 10 per cent of their
wages Most of the men are earnn!
enough to keep their households going
as usual.
Men Willing to Arbitrate.
The strikers claim that they are
willing to put their differences with the
mill out to arbitration but that the
International Co. refuses and is trying
to make an ''open shop" out of it, In
with Times representa-
tive yesterday afternoon, the men
said that the average reduction of
wages amounted to % per cent, the
highest being 30 per cent to unskilled
workmen. There are two branches of
labor, the paper makers and the pulp
and sulphide men.
The company's property in Wilder

AFTER THE OUTBREAKS
Strikers Await the Next Move of the
Internat ationaI Paper Co. in Alleged
Attempt to Run "0pen Shop"

| W llueF. july Io,-An investigation
WAS conducted at the clubhouse here
yesterday afternoon TO determine the
facts in the disturbance early yester-
day morning when Peter Landry. a
paper mill worker. was shot in the face
and Big Sam Bedz received wound
in the leg, whether from bullet or
not it is uncertain Neither man was
badly hurt and both were about the
streets yesterday afternoon, mingling
with their fellow strikers of the Inter
national Paper Co. as the latter gath
cred in groups to discuss the situation.
The shooting occurred, at the corner
Of the street leading to White River
junction at 20 Friday morning. A
crowd of strikers had gathered there
after hating a motor truck which was
carrying provisions to the 100 men i'm
ported by the International Paper Co.
and housed in the eompany's propertys
The motor truck was manned by one
white man and two negroes. and it was
halted by pickets who had been sta
toned at the approaches to the village
Some loud talk and iostling scared the
crew of the truck. one of the negroes
fled and the two other men agreed to
take the truckload Of food TO White

In the meantime a party Of company
guards had been sent out in a Packard
car TO escort the truck in but missed |

bad feeling between the two

Korea, he said. 1.-THE psychology
of the czar in this case is explain

viction that he could do no wrong.
This was one Of the most perni-

Government
Panologist Is
Here In Town

For the purpose of writing a
bulletin on prune culture, c. F.
Kinman, pomologist of the agri-
cultural department Of the Unit
ed States government, has been
making investigation of several Of
the largest prune districts in this
county.
Mr.. Kinman is obtaining infor-
nation particularly along the
lines of fertilizing, pruning, and
spraying and cultivation, and
stated this morning that a large
number of inquiries along this line
have been and are being receiv-
ed in Washington from New Eng
land farmers. He selected this dis
trict for the reason that 80 per
cent of the Italian prunes raised
in the country come from western
Oregon and Washington.
Mr.. Kinman intimated that in
the near future the northwest
might have sharp competition in
western New York which section
was displaying a keen interest in
that particular branch Of the
prune industry.

small son discovered the blaze

we could expect a victory or even
military achievement, but Japan
might have learned a lesson which
would have changed much OF the
succeeding events throughout the
world.
"The Russian army would never
have been able to show much grit.
but her internal troubles would
have increased and forced the gov
ernment to grant more reforms, es-
tablishing in a firmer way the
principles of constitutional gov
ernment for which she was quite
ripe, but which neither the czar
nor the ruling class were yet ready
to grant. What they did grant
they tried to take back as soon as
the social discomfort quieted
down.
Again the continuation of the
war would have brought import
ant changes in Japan. Japan at
that moment was at the end of her
tether. Roosevelt, in other words,
saved Japan from an economic
collapse that might have called for
constitutional reform in Japan
also, and only the latter could bea
reliable guarantee against the de-
yelopment of imperialism in the

least so of the largest taxpayers in
the county will absorb 60 per cent
OF the refund, and that the re.
naming 40 per cent will be paid
to the 29,950.
On $1,000 assessed valuation the
tax amounts to 40 cents, thus II
there were 1000 taxpayers whose
property valuation would amount
to 500 the refund to only four
cents which would hardly pay the
property owners, whose tax bills
are SO small, the trouble of obtain
ing the refund. There is also the
same number of taxpayers who
have assessed valuation OF 5000.
The fixing of the responsibility
Of the mistake in the tax estimate
has met with little success. 1t
apparently lies between the office
of the county executives who made
out the budget which the assessor
was to collect in taxes, or it lies
at the door of whoever added and

mony, no county official wants to

nounced today, although it is re-
iterated in Belfast that no mes
sage has been received there from

None the less the imperial gov

posing leaders together.
While the Sim Fein leaders

lieved Mr.. DeValera and his ad-
visers favor a conference in Lon

for such a conference.
1t is hoped in government cir

Money Due Through Mistake In Fixing Levy

Rebates on the $4,000 due tax

A week ago an order was drawn

signature, but due to the proxim-
iy OF the period when the second

this fact if the order has not been
