THE GAGE OF BATTLE

There's a queer thought running
the rounds of the anti-unionists to the
effect that wages must be adjusted
with regard to the 1914 level" as if
American workers at that time had
reached the acme of their rights.
There was as much of a wage prob
lem before the world war as there is
today, and there will continue to be
SO long as the equilibrium between
wages and prices is off.
Get back to the good old days be-
fore the war;" we heard an ardent
open shopper say the other day. That
bird has very short memory, very
short memory indeed 1t is certain
that no worker with brains enough
to wad gun with mustard seed
would consider return to the stand
ards that obtained before the war. He
has since had the curtain of new
life opened unto him and he wants
nothing of the past, not if he can
help it.
The fellows who are always talking
| about going back are the ones who
want everyone to go back but them
selves. They want none of it. The
advantage the workers gained is
theirs by right; they were but humor-
ed and coddled during the war to
keep them in line, but now the war
is over and it is up to them to sur
render the blessings gained from that
victory
The real American workers are GO
| ing to do nothing of the kind. Saw
ing the world for democracy had
deeper significance to them than to
return to any form of autocracy, in
governments or industry. They are
expecting larger share of the fruits
of their efforts, and they recognize
that the only way to get that share is
to have a voice in determining upon
the wages they shall be paid and the
conditions under which they shall
work.
The gage OF battle is clear cut.
The open shoppers understand what
labor wants. The unions know what
the "open shop" means. Only the
misled and credulous bystanders are
in the dark. They think they know
but their shallow thinking and super
fetal observing obstruct their vision
They are the unwilling allies of the
enemies of labor, of progress, of real
democracy and of justice.

takes money. So here is a great
chance to put few dollars to good
use in most worthy and commend

IN EVERY HOME

Christmas time is glad time for
most people throughout the world,
but it is a sad time, doubly SO, for
those families whose husbands and
fathers are out of employment. 1t
is time when the heart-strings of
unemployed men are torn at the
thought that they can't give their
wives and children the gladness and
happiness that the more fortunate
give their loved ones. To overcome
this condition in Hamilton and dispel
the gloom that pervades the unem-
ployed and unfortunate, the Hamilton
Chamber of Commerce has decreed
that there shall be christmas in
Every Home" The idea was con-
ceived by John E. Northway, secre-
tary of the Chamber of Commerce,
who as secretary of Mayor Smiths
unemployed committee learned of the
great number of men unemployed in
| the city. He it was who suggested
that a Christmas program be carried
out that all may enjoy some of the
gladness of Christmas. The board of
directors of the Chamber of Com
merce has a committee of business
men working hard getting food,
clothing, fruits, candies, toys and
money together so that every home is
to be gladdened on Christmas day.
1t is a happy idea, one that is to be
commended very much, and the Cham
Der of Commerce is to be congratulate
ed for its noble sentiment. What a
wonderful feeling of happiness, of
joy, of gladness, of contentment, of
satisfaction that will steal over and
around the hearts of these men on
Christmas morn, these big business
men of plenty, who, though busy
have thoughts for the poor and un-
fortunate and lay aside their business
long enough to go out and see that
no home in Hamilton goes without
Christmas cheer this year. AS the
speaker for the working people Of
Hamilton, the Press desires to extenc
its heartfelt thanks to the Hamilton
Chamber of Commerce for its noble
thought. And especially is John E
Northway entitled to the thanks of al
who will be benefited by the move
ment. 1t was he who suggested the
program.

A., B. { 4. OFFICIAL
CHARGES STRIKERS
WITH RAIL WRECK

Resumption of the hearing before
Judge Samuel H. Sibley on the petit
ton of the striking A, B. & A. en-
ployes for a revocation of the wage
reduction order which caused the gen.
eral strike on March 5, and the an
nouncement from the officials of the
road that passenger and freight serv-
Ice has been restored on every part
of the system, were the outstanding
developments Wednesday in the A.,
B. & A. situation.
There were also statements from
Receiver B. L. Bugg and from the
brotherhood representatives relative
to the derailment near Douglas, Ca.
on Monday of passenger train No. 4.
The receiver asserts that there is
evidence that the 'derailment resulted
from a deliberate attempt to wreck
the train by tampering with a switch,
while the union leaders ridicule the
charge and declare that the railroad
officials are attempting to prejudice
public sentiment. The derailment
caused no casualties, although the
engine turned over on its side and the
front trucks of one passenger coach
left the track.
Dispatches from Douglas are to the
effect that the county authorities
took bloodhounds to the scene of
the wreck and followed a trail from
the switch to a point on the Dixie
highway, wheer the dogs were I'm
able to proceed further.
When the hearing is resumed at
3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon be-
fore Judge Sibley, Attorney Morris
Brandon, counsel for the receiver of
begun at Tuesdays session. The
opening argument. of Attorney James
A. Branch, representing the brother
hoods, was finished Tuesday after
having been begun on Saturday, just
before adjournment.
Before the hearing is concluded
United States District Attorney
Hooper Alexander will deliver an
argument UNFOLDING the constitu-
1918, section 8, of which has been
attacked by the receiver on the
ground that the twenty-day notice it
provides in case of wage reductions
on railroads in the hands of receiv-
ers, would constitute virtual confls-
cation of property. The receiver
claims that the road has been losing
$4,000 daily on the old wage scale
basis and that twenty days notice of
a reduction would mean a loss of
100000.
Mr.. Alexander has been instructed
by Attorney General Harry M.
Daugherty to defend the constitu-
tionality of the act and Judge Sib-
ley on Tuesday afternoon passed an
order allowing him to enter the case
for that purpOSe.

j. s. DETECTIVES
GET PRISON TERMS
IN BERGDOLL CASE

MOSBACH, Baden, March %
Carl Neuf and Franz thinner, Ameri-
can detectives, have been sentenced
to terms in prison in criminal court
here for illegal assumption Of pow

duct Grover c. Bergdoll, American
draft evader, in Eberbach last jan
uary. Neuf, against whom a charge
of 'inflicting bodily injury" had been
preferred, was sentenced to Jail for
fifteen months while Zimmer's term
in prison was fixed at six months.
The additional charge against Neuf
arose from a bullet wound suffered
by a young woman when a revolver
was fired during the attempted alb
duction.
Four Germans who were tried as
accomplices of the Americans were
found guilty and sent to Jail for

He told a hating story and so clear
ly contradicted himself that the pre-
siding~ judge finally warned him of
the strictness of the German perjury
laws. Wh1le the American draft
dodger was on the stand, the hos
tility of the crowd toward the two
detectives was shown by it's remarks.
"Schweinhunden" and other char
acteristic remarks were heard. A
policeman who called one of the de-
Tense lawyers "a dirty dog was
mildly rebuked by the judge.
Kisses were frequent and officers
of the court made little effort to
que1l the demonstrations.
Several Americans from the army
Of occupation who appeared as wit
nesses met the same hostility as the
two prisoners.

Report Of Settlement
OF Stillnan Divorce
On Eve OF Hearing

NEW YORK, March 22.-On the
eve of the first open court hearing
in the Stillman divorce scandal, re-
ports of a private settlement were
revived today.
Emphasis was placed in certain
quarters on the fact that an appli-
cant for a divorce must come into
court with clean hands" and that
charges regarding the alleged rela-
tons of James A. Stillman, multi
millionaire banker, with Mrs. Flor
ence Fl. Leeds" had made it diff
cult for him to obtain a decree in
this state.
Should Mr. Stillman and his attor-
neys become convinced that counsel
for Mrs. Fiji" Potter Stillman can
prove the allegations they have made
against the banker, it was pointed
out that his logical course would be
to effect settlement outside court
as expeditiously as possible. There
were said to be indications that Mrs.
Stillman-who is understood to be
more interested in clearing her name
of the charges brought by her hus-
band than in merely fighting his
suit-would consider such settle
ment.

Ne1u York Blast

NEW ORLEANS, March 2S-Five
men, shackled hand and foot and
guarded by armed policemen, are un-
der arrest here pending their trans
portation to New York, where they
are wanted in connection with the
Wall street bomb explosion of Sep
TENDER 16, which cost two-score lives
and millions of dollars in damage to
porperty in the heart of the financial
section.
The men call themselves Russian
Poles and Germans. They have been
sought throughout the United States
and abroad by agents of the depart
ment of justice, who finally located
their quarry on board the United
States shipping board steamer, City
of Alton, then near Rio de Janeiro.
Taken to that port in irons, they
were transferred to the shipping
board vessel Rushville, and brought
to New Orleans.
The men put up terrific fight
for liberty upon their arrest, but
were finally overpowered and put
into confinement by, the ships Off

cargo, the steamer turned them back
again to the consular officials, who
slapped them into Jail a second time.

finally prevailed upon the Rushville,
then loading coffee, to make the men
aboard. Seven policemen escorted
them, weighted down by handouts
and chains, to the vessels, and re-
manned on board until they had been
safely confined. Members of the
crew declared that during the trip
to New Orleans the five were regard
ed as particularly dangerous and
their movements.
During the trip north, a quarrel
broke out among the prisoners, and
the officers had difficulty in pre-
venting bloodshed
At New Orleans a strong force of
police met the boat and dragged the
men in darkness over the rail, rush
ing them to Jail through a little
group of curious bystanders who
wondered what it was all about.
Pamphlets, photographs, aliases
and maps, including one of the canal
zone, are said to have been found in
the prisoners effects.
Their names, as put down on the
register of the parish prison are:
Philip Bender, alias Chief Bender;
Lionel Kuobroozuff, Rudolph Dorsh,
Hans Randin and Henrik Lipan.

BOBCATS WIN SLOW
GAME WITH WESLEYAN

In one of the slowest and most
poorly played basketball games of
the season the Bobcat team of the
Montana State college won from the
Wesleyan team of Helena by a score
of 10 to 8. The Bobcat team did not
seem able to "get going" during the
entire contest and the only bright
feature of the game was the playing
of HOLSTER at guard for the local
team. Hollister was the only man
on the team that showed and agrees
siveness or who played with any of
the customary Bobcat snap and go.
Getting the ball practically every
time on the tip off, the locals fritter-
ed away chance after chance to score
by poor passing or lack of judgement.
Not only was the passing poor, but
| in shooting baskets the locals were
way off form. The prettiest play Of
the game was made by HOLSTER who
/ took the ball on a long dribble from
/ beneath his own basket and make a
field goal in a couple of seconds Of
play. Gates started the game at cen
| ter for the locals but was removed
in favor of Whitney. Hollister, Rich
ards, McCarren and Jorgenson were
the other regulars. Robertson and
Garvin were put in a few seconds be-
fore the whistle blew.
