posse is searching in the country be-
tween Minot and Max for two men who
overpowered Arthur Schooler, in
charge of the Pure Oil filling station
two blocks from the center of the city,
and stole $3.50 from the cash drawer at
9:45 p. m. yesterday. The two men
entered and ordered Schooler to put
up his hands and he refused and start
ed to fight. One man holding gun
struck him over the head with it.
Schooler was dazed by the blow and
fell. One gunman covered him while
the other stole the money. A Ford
car was stolen from the street nearby
and when it was found abandoned on
the road between MinOt and Max early
today the posse started to hund for the
men,

London, May 20-(By the Associat-

Announcement was made by Mr.. Har-

state department in Washington to
represent America at the meeting OF
the supreme council at which the
question OF Silesia Is to be considered
and that the United States under no
possible circumstances could be led
into the League of Nations.
Only two or three newspapers COM
mented editorially upon the ambassa.
doris speech. apparently because OF
the late hour at which Mr.. Harvey
spoke. There journals welcomed the
ambassadors expression of friend
ship, his frankness and commended
his address in general.
The Daily News, however, declaren
itself perplexed by Americas repudi-
alton Of the League of Nations.

The Chronicle remarked: Nobody
here has any desire to prescribe the
channels in which Americas good will
may flow and just as we gave Mr..
Wilson Straightforward cooperation
in founding the league 80 we will CO.

Harding outside the league"

cially the American ambassadors pro-.
nouncement of the League OF Nations
which is described as "the end of ex-
pensive sham" a ". + '

"The league as an instrument Of
practical idealism," the newspaper
added, "is dead and it is best to wind
up its affairs with as little cost as
it may be-"

American cooperation the only hope
for EurOpe's regeneration remarking
"there is now hope for old war-bat-

London, May 20 (By the Associat-
ed Press THE American ambassa-
dor, George Harvey, in his first speech
since presenting his credentials, de-
clared last night that American arm
ed forces came to Europe in the World
war solely to save the United States
and not to save European states OPP
posed to Germany, as some had con-
tended. !
His address, delivered at dinner
given by the Pilgrims society in his
honor, attracted especial interest, COM
ing as it did at time when the prob
able attitude Of the United States
toward the tense political situation
in Europe is arousing lively specula-
ton, and as the first authorized cx-
preston of the American viewpoint.
Mr.. Harvey euogized the Pilgrims
as the most distinctive link In the
chain OF blood relationship between
the British and American peoples, and
one Of the most potent agencies Of
civilization. Their activities, he said,
had been sustained labor of love and
patriotism( which only now were be-

Combinations of Senators, made

combinations because of the absence

State Accident Fund
Makes Good Showing

Experience has clearly demon
strated that the industrial accident
fund can take care of itself, that
it is absolutely self-supporting,
declares the fifth annual report OF
the Wyoming Workmen's Compen-
sation Department prepared under
the direction of State Treasurer
A. D. Hoskins.
Beginning six years ago with an
appropriation of 100000 from the
state as a nucleus, the state fund
established to provide accident in
surance at actual cost is now in a
position to go "on it's own" accord
ing to the report. The department
recommends that the original $780,
900 together with all other sums
since advanced by the state, amount
ing to $228,817, be returned to the
states general fund.
The favorable showing of the
Wyoming State fund and the COM
pensation departments recommend
alton follows similar action in Pen
nsylvania where the state accident
insurance fund recently paid back
to the commonwealth in full it's
original investment of 100000.
By prohibiting stock insurance
companies operating for profit from
competing with state funds, as de-
manded by the American Fedora
ton of Labor, and already success
fully undertaken in seven, notably
Ohio, exclusive state funds, it is

shoes, he would have to give from
s to 10 hides to get a pair of
shoes. If a man wants a suit of
clothes and should bring wool to
trade for it, he would have TO use
a big hayrack and he himself would
look small in that load of wool. 1t
would take 400 pounds of wool before
he could get a suit of clothes that
would be called good suit. 1t
takes from 4 to s pounds of wool
TO make a suit of clothes. Mind
you, 1t would even be doubtful if the
man could get rid Of his wool at all,
even at 10 cents a pound. 1t is also
claimed that enormous quantities of
wool have been destroyed so as to
hold up the prices of wooden goods.
Who are back Of these robberies
if not the combination sharks who
are in position to control the sup
ply and demand, and thus dictate
prices?
1t is useless for the Law and
Labor Magazine to pirate about the
evils of labor organizations until the
law makes it a crime for the COM
mcrcial interests to practice their
hoid-up schemes through their or
CARNATIONS and combinations.

Object to Methods
of Reducing Taxes

The Building Trades Council, hav-
ing wearied of the methods adopt
ed in meeting the city's high tax
problems adopted the following res
olution:
Everett, Wash,
July 8, 1921.
To the Honorable Commissioners,
Everett, Wash.
Gentlemen: The Everett Building
Trades Council in session assembled,
July 8, 1921, adopted the following
resolutions:
Whereas, 1t has come to our
knowledge that the city commission
ers are about to abolish the offices
of Building and Plumbing inspec-
tors, or else change the offices from
the Department of Public Works to
the Department of Safety and there
by, from our point of view, destroy
the efficiency of the two offices
which would be greatly detrimental
to the health and welfare of our
city, also violate the provisions of
the city charter; and
Whereas, We have found from
experience in the past that the diff
ferent methods adopted in meeting
the question of high taxes were fu-
tile. The first method adopted is
to cut the wages of the workers
employed or deprive them of work
altogether, which method we doubt
will create any more revenue either
for the city or the business interest
of the city. If a deficiency exist
in the revenue of the city or any
department thereof, we suggest
that all the industries that receive
benefits from the city of Everett
shall be brought within the incor-
porated limits, that they may be
made to pay taxes equivalent to the
benefits received. On the other
hand there are unoccupied lots and
unoccupied tracts of land within the
city limits held only for speculation
which if taxed in proportion to 9TH
er city property would yield rev.
enue more than sufficient to meet
any legitimate expense of the city.
Therefore be it
Resolved, by the Building Trades
Council in session assembled, this
Sth day of July, 1921, that we are
absolutely opposed to any change in
the offices of the city departments,
as stated above, because it cannot
accomplish the end intended.

Little School Girls
"Stick With Daddy

Indianapolis, July 9.-Anti-union
elements who ignore the spirit of
organized labor could read with
profit the roprt OF Van A. Bittner,
representative of the United Mine
Workers, in charge of the recent
Alabama coal strike.
The unionist reprints this letter
from two little girls at Cordova:
eve two little girls had to quit
school because we have no shoes.
Mr.. Bttner our dear daddy is a real
union man and mamma ard us
wouldn't let him scab if we never
got any shoes. We surely thank
the union for what it has done for
us. If you can do anything for us
we will never forget it and if you
can't, we are in the strike to win,
just the same"
"From the reading of this pathetic
letter." says Bittner," it can easily
be seen why it was necessary to
distribute shoes and clothing to the
striking miners and their families"
Ninety-nine per cent of these
miners live in company shacks that
are declared disgrace to civiliza-
ton. When the miners were evicted,
the union fought the case to the
state supreme court, which decided
against the workers. Then 1000
tents were purchased and tent col
onies erected overnight.
Over half a million pounds of
provisions We're distributed by the
union among the $4,000 men, women
and children during the strike. The
union distributed these provisions
through one central agency at Bir-
mingham to 107 points.
The union also cared for the sick
and buried the dead.
"Any man who is a member of
our great union," says Bittner, "can
we'll be proud of the aid that was
furnished the striking miners and
their families in Alabama by the
United Mine Workers of America.
What other institution on earth can
feed, clothe and house, as we'll as
give necessary medical and hospital
aid to $4,000 men, women and chill
dren for seven months ?"

Some people say that sanitation
doesn't pay. Well, it doesn't pay

sanitary; seek health before you
need it.

HONEYMOON IS OVER
HOUSEWORK BEGINS

All is not as it seems up on
the Hill where sits Congress in ali
its glory. The honeymoon is over
and now is the time for settling
down and settling up confronting
the gentlemen of the House and
Senate; also the lone, but not lone
iy inhabitant of the White Man
sion at the other end of the Ave
nue..
When the special session opened
up everybody was billing and COO
ing about how lovely the prospect
was, how perfectly beautiful was
the harmony existing between and
among all factions and what a de-
lghtfully enjoyable time was TO be
had by those present as they fixed
things for the future. The country
was to be pulled, not to say yanked
out of its troubles, set on it's feet
and given one quick shove into
prosperity, and then the boys were
to go home and meet the glad eX-
tended hand of welcome and the
bright smiles and gratitude of an
admiring populace whose sole desire
would be to return the bringers OF
said prosperity to the halls of leg
islation in 1922. 1t was a time OF
rejoicing and exceedingly great hap
piness.
Now comes the aftermath and
trouble is sticking up its ugly head
disturbing the harmony and causing
cold chances, hard words and hard
err realities to come between the
adoring SWANS and their lovely
partners. In other words, hell is
about to break loose. Dear Heart
reaches for a plate while Darling
grabs the ice pick and the house
is all cluttered up with relics of a
too short honeymoon. Same relics
to be useful later on as ammuni-
ton and weapons in the fight now
looming up.
All Of which opens up the story
which follows: This country is, like
the Minnesota sheriff caught over
the line in Canada and socked in
jail for carrying a gun and quart,
in a devil of a fix. The most con-
sentative estimate is that five mil
lion people are out of work and
the number growing each day; con-
ditions surrounding trade with other
countries are no better if as good
as they were; finance and financiers
are up a tree with foreign exchange
always muddying the waters of bus
mess, and the outlook for a pick
up in industry continues to be
clOuded by hopelessness.
All Of those facts are being real
lied and the program outlined when
Congress met is still in outline
very nebulous outline at that-and
now comes Mr.. Mellon of the Treas
ury with a scheme to refund the
debt owed by the Allies and other
countries, which scheme is present
ed in very vague and uncertain
terms to the Senate in the form of
bill by Boise Penrose Of Pennsyl-
yania.
1t is whispered that the bill is
concoction Of international bankers
who are trying to save their bacon
and it appears to have been the
cause Of a coming together Of Sen
arors and Congressman from the
South and West who are commenc-
ing to believe that the United States
is not the street that begins at a
church and ends at a suicides dock.
They reason that there are others
