FARM HANDS STRIKE
FOR HIGHER WAGES
CHILEAN FARM LABORERS
WORKING FOR 18 CENTS A
DAY STRIKE AND WIN.

SANTIAGO, CHILE-(By A. P.)-
The first farm laborers' strike in
Chile was called recently by several
hundred workers on the 20,0O0-acre
estate of an English woman near
here. While the actual movement was
confined to one farm and involved a
relatively small number of men, ii
attracted widespread interest and has
been pointed out as marking the be-
ginning of new era in the existing
relations between the land proprietor
and the Chilean agricultural laborer.
The immediate cause of the trouble,
it is said, was the refusal of the
laborers to continue working until
sunset during harvest, according to
long established custom in this coun-
try. The provincial governor inves-
tigated the strike and announced
there had been current of propa-
ganda passing between the Chilean
federation of labor and workers on
various farms in the department "
The workers also demanded increased
wages, dismissal of the overseer and
the right to organize. The latter was
granted and the dispute finally was
settled after President Alessandri
had admonished the men to return to
the fields.
The 'inquilino" system prevails on
most of the large estates which form
a characteristic feature of the farm
ing region of central Chile. Under
the system the worker is given pos
session of a plot of land for pur-
poses of cultivation, house and
rights of pasturage. On the estate
where the strike took place, the daily
wages were 80 centavos (about IS
cents at normal exchange).
The South Pacific Mail, discussing
the strike, says relations between
the employer and employe on the
farms hitherto have been somewhat
patriarchial. The patron has been
the ultimate court of appeal and, it
might be said, absolute master of the
liberties, if not the lives, of the
peasantry who are linked to these
estates by the ''inquilino" system. On
the great haciondas (farms) the
laborers and their families have re-
mained for many years in virtual
state of feudal servitude. 1t is not
surprising, therefore, that at the
present day, when the self-conscious-
ness of the worker all over the world
has awakened, that the Chilean peon
should seek some amelioration of his
often hard lot"
The owner of the estate where the
laborers went on strike said the walk
out was the direct result of action
of "subversive elements" She de-
clared she had provided her en-
ployes with good homes, schools and
medical attendance.

DIR. HENKLE LOST HIS
APPEAL-MAY LOSE LICENSE

Boise-Dr. C. K. Henkle, practicine
physician of Troy, Idaho, who was
committed to the northern Idaho SAN
itarium at Orofino in January as a
drug addict by Judge Edgar G.. Steele
of the second judicial district, was
legally committed and must remain
in the institution, the supreme court
of Idaho decides. And on Thursday
of this week the doctor, through his
attorney, must show cause before the
state committee of medical examiners
why his license to practice medicine
should not be revoked, for an appli-
cation for such revocation has been
filed by the prosecuting attorney of
Latah county in the department of
law enforcement. The supreme court
says:
Committing dissomaniacs and in
ebriates to insane asylums is a pa
ternal and not penal proceeding, but
the article, giving guardianship into
the jurisdiction of the probate courts
does not deprive the legislature of
the power to vest in district courts
the authority to administer this class
of laws"

STAGE STYLE SHOW
AT THE UNIVERSITY
MISS BIGELOW WILL GIVE SHOW
THAT SHOULD APPEAL TO
WOMEN OF MOSCOW.

Moscow people and university stu
dents will have an unusual oppor-
tunity to become acquainted with the
latest modes and dictates of conser-
vative fashion on Friday evening
April 8, when the students in clothing
classes of the home economics de-
partment, under the supervision of
Miss Zella Bigelow, clothing expert,
will give fashion show in the uni
versity auditorium.
To offer sufficient variation, music
al numbers will be furnished by the
department of music and a special
number will be a solo by Miss Betho-
line Cowgirl of Spokane, formerly of
the university. Miss Cowgirl will
sing my Alice Blue Gown"
Part Of the program consist of a
discussion by Miss Bigelow of the
laws of correct costume and as she
touches on the different phases of
dress, university girls acting as
models will appear in apparel bring
ing out the points emphasized by her.
Part two will be presented in the
same manner as professional style
show, girls appearing in the various
garbs. Garments for this purpose
were in part made in the home econ
omics department, some were select
ed from the girls wardrobcs while
others were loaned by the Moscow
Fashion shop. Clothing will be shown
principally according to IT'S suit
ability for college girl with view
to its beauty, attractiveness and its
conformity to the laws to be set forth
by Miss Bigelow in the first part of
the show. The exhibits will include
summer dresses, afternoon dresses,
evening dresses, sport clothes, suits,
coats, wraps, etc.
This will truly be worthwhile op-
portunity for the housewife to ac-
quaint herself with the various ap-
styles of clothing and its
production has been the cause of con-
siderable trouble and effort on the
part of the university girls. In order
to keep down the attendance so that
those who really hope to profit by the
style show may obtain seats, an ad-
mission charge Of ten cents will be
made. University buildings and busi-
ness houses are decorated with bril-
liant posters advertising the event.
The show will start at p. M

Saws School Boards Retard Work.

Spokane, Wash.-At the annual
convention of Inland Empire Teach
ers' association in Spokane last week
F. L. Cummings, principal Fergus
county high school at Lewlstown'
Montana, said school boards as a rule
retard education rather than advance
it, that members of boards usually
knew little about education but liked
to boss teachers, and that the actions
of school board members in restraint
of the ideals and efforts of teachers
were the cause of many teachers
quitting the profession.

WESTERN GOVERNORS
ARE ALL OPTIMISTIC
CHIEF EXECUTIVES OF IDAHO,
OREGON AND WASHINGTON
TELL OF CONDITIONS

American Industries" a busines
publication, has written letters to al
of the governors of states asking
their opinions on the future outl0ol
for business. All, or nearly all o:
them, seem optimistic that the future
will bring better business conditions
The letters of Governors Davis, O.
Idaho, Hart, of Washington and Oh
colt, of Oregon, are here given:
Idaho
By the Hon. D. w. Davis
I believe the readjustment of bust
ness is quietly but surely taking
place. Not many months will pass
before there will. be natural ant
normal functioning of business. There
should have been decided retrench-
ment and letting up of activity. This
no business man denies. 1t was
necessary to the health of industry
and finance, those correlated func-
tions, that they be cleared of ex-
cessive credits and spending. We
may now all Of US proceed in the
natural order for the era of pros
perity which is before us. 1t has ever
been true that following war great
depression prevails during the ad-
justment period, but Immediately
following them the greatest prosper
ity and development exists.
Oregon
(By the Hon. Ben. w. Olcott)
AS tar as Oregon is concerned, l
think our business outlook is one to
be optimistic over, rather than pessi-
mistic. It is true that in this state,
like all other states, there is not the
enormous volume Of business nor the
plethora of money that was evidenced
during the war; but such is not to be
expected.
Oregon, however, is passing through
the readjustment period in most ex-
cellent form. Some lines of industry,
such as agriculture and livestock,
have suffered and suffered quite
severely. / look for a quick recuper-
alton in those lines. Manufacturing
industries, as a whole, have been con-
tinuing in business with a degree of
success. which I think warrants my
belief in a splendid outlook for the
future.
Washington
(By the Hon. Louis F. Hart)
Business and industrial conditions
in the State of Washington are pass
ing through the readjustment period
necessary to correct the initiation
brought on by the world war with
prospects of greater prosperity than
ever before in the history of the
state.
In the great lumber industry OF the
state adjustments Of wage schedules
are being effected which will mean
the resumption of operations in the
camps and mills on one hundred
per cent basis.
The great majority of the working
men apparently have realized the ne
cessity of returning to normal condi-
tions and are working in conjunction
with the employers Of the state to
bring about readjustment which
will relieve all industry to the fullest
possible extent.
The State of Washington has re-
jected state socialism and by this ac-
ton has extended an invitation to
capital everywhere to invest IN the
of its great natural re-
sources.

HIGH BASKETBALL
TEAM LOSES FIRST
GAME TO HARDWOOD

In a game filled with fouls and
loosely played basketball, the Albu-
querque college, better known as
Harwood school, defeated Albu-
querque high in the first game for
each team by score of 2S-20. The
game was generally undressing
and the high school did not threat
en- to take the lead. The industrial
school boys showed much more
practice but were as poor at making
goals as the high school,
The game was played in the new
gymnasium at the college and the
floor proved to be one of the best
near Albuquerque.
Harwood took the first tries at
the basket but failed to score even
with a free throw. Nathan Glass
man started the scoring with a
long field goal and a double foul
was called, Harwood missed its
toss and Wilson connected with the
ring for one more point.
Several more fouls were called
and Wilson made one but had
stepped over the foul line and
neither team scored for a few min
utes. Costales and Madrid opened
the scoring again with field goal
from each Of them. Joe Benjamin
made a field goal and HarWood
tied the score with free throw.
Campo made two points for his
team and Madrid followed with two
more field goals. Each team was
playing hard towards the end of
the half and the first period ended
with the score 7-12 against the high
school squad,
In the second half Albuquerque
high braced slightly and Hammond
brought the score up one point from
3 foul. Hogrefe started for Rome
70 and Glassman went at guard.
The high school tossers made three
fouls that enabled Madrid to score
three points for his team and he
capped all this with field goal.
Rogers was substituted for Ham
mond. The score was raised to
1921 and after he had missed a
foul and failed at an attempt to
make field goal, Rodgers dropped
1ne through the net, then again |
Zach team made a free toss and
1lassman scored two more points. |
Iogrefe and Madrid made field |
counters for each team and the |
score stood at 1924. When each
cam had scored again and raised
he score to 1920, the final whis-
lie blew.

illustrate more thoroughly to the
pupils, the ideals of the American
government, the importance Of
language of America, the question
of immigration, the American flag,
naturalization of foreign-born cltl-
zens and like subjects.
The aid and cooperation of the
churches, newspapers, clubs, BUSH
ness organizations, Libraries, frater-
nal bodies and other important So
cieties is expected. The headquar-
ters of the American legion has
given out the following suggestions
Tor such bodies:
/. Urge ministers of all denomi-
nations to preach upon the subject
of education Sunday, December 4,
1921.
2. Urge the mayor to issue a
proclamation setting aside this

MECHEM STATES
VALLEY DRAINAGE
IS POSSIBILITY
Returns From Meeting of
Western States ReCIama-
ton Association With
Hopes for Action in State

Believing that the proper recla
nation and drainage of the middle
Rio Grande valley is more of G
possibility than ever before. Gov.
ernor Merritt C. Mechem talked
optimistically of future work in the
valley when in Albuquerque last
night on his way to Las Cruces tc
attend the national park meeting
The governor was just returning
from Salt Lake City where he at.
tended the meeting OF the Western
states Reclamation association.
The gathering at Salt Lake City
was a splendid one" stated the
governor. There were fourteen
states represented, New Mexico
having eight delegates. The pur-
pose of the meeting was to discuss
the Smith-McNary bill as amended
to include the Bankhead bill. The
Dill now has two purposes: to
create a revolving fund of $780,
100000 for the reclamation of land
in arid states and to establish a
fund of 100000. 900 to apply on
the reclamation of swamp and
overflow lands.
I'VE all wondered IL the bills
would apply to New Mexico. Di-
rector E. p Davis was asked wheth-
er or not in view of the fact that
N,he middle Rio Grande river pro-
Jeet contemplates both the recla-
nation of arid land by irrigation
and the drainage of land in one
complete plan, it would be in the
$3.50, 100000 division and he stated
emphatically that it would.
n director Davis spoke very IA
vorably of the scheme and especial
ly of Secretary Falls great interest
IN the development of the middle
valley which he claimed the secre-
tary considered the most feasible
OF the projects not yet initiated. He
said that Secretary Fall had been
insistent upon the early examina-
ton Of the situation here as soon
as conditions would permit.
< capt. w. c. Reid of Albuuuer-
que and c. T.. Brown of Socorro,
members of the Rio Grande drain
age committee, We're present. A CO.
operative plan will be worked out
between the drainage committee
ana the reclamation service so that
there will be no duplication of work
and in order that the work done by
the committee may be accepted by
the reclamation service.

resentatives were Miss Effie V.
