FREEDOM OF WORKERS is FIRST
ESSENTIAL.

A man can't fall half way down a
ladder
Neither can a man believe that Ia
Dor is a commodity and reject the
consequences of that belief--the In
junction Judge.
One theory cannot be right and the
other wrong
Until recently the injunction process
was confined 70 its original purpose
protection Of property and property
rights. Il was not used where per-
sonal relations were involved.
To bring labor within the scope of
the injunction process the slave con-
cept has been revived that employers
have property right in the labor Of
their employees The theory also in
publics patronage that striking EN-.
ployes may take from him.
On this foundation the injunction
judge rests his cause.
He who says labor Is commoi-
ity--that It can be bought without buy
my the man--ignores the law OF cause
and effect when he condemns the In
junction Judge. That man would be
astonlshed when lighted match ex-
plodes gunpowder.
But the commodity theory goes be-
yond the labor injunction--it reaches
into the roots of our social structure.
This theory operates when labor Is
referred TO as hands" though labor
of any description Is impossible with.

classes OF citizens without question
The commodity theory Is supported
by capitalists and the Injunction judge
lit Is sanctioned by reyoiutionists
and so-called liberals. Some OF these
are impelled by profit; the others
want to asave" the workers.
None of them want workers TO save

Trade unionism would uproot the
commodity theory, root and branch.

VARIETY OF
PEAR is PLANTED

Gordon G. Brown Saturday trans
planted to orchards two varieties of
pears, which he will test here. One of
the pears, the Surprise, is we'll known
in the middle west, where it has sue
cessfully resisted cold weather. The
variety also resists fire blight.
Pyrus Usurienss is the name of the
other variety with which Mr.. Brown is
conducting experiments. This pear was
propagated several centuries ago by
the Manchu dynasty in northern China.
1t is not only blight resistant but, ac-
coIding to Mr.. Brown, can stand the
lowest known temperature. The i'm
ported variety of pear can be grown
on many soils, and will
stand droughts. In instances, saws
Mr.. Brown, roots of the Chinese pear,
after having been kept in water for
six months, have shown a good growth
after planting. Both varieties of pears
will stand top working, and after a
trunk and body growth is attained va
rieties of fruit adapted to the local
climate may be grated on.

STONE EXPLAINS
NEW YORK COMPANY

A. w. Stone last week issued circ-
ular statement to affiliated growers in
explanation of the Consolidated Fruit
Co., a New York City sales concern.
In his letter of explanation Mr.. Stone
states that the Consolidated Fruit Co.
began business in August, 1920, as a
copartnership with C. w. McCullagh
and ID. l.. Woodruff, the latter the
New York sales manager of the Asso-
citation, as co-members.
This copartnership was organized
and handled the fruit of the Associa-
tion for short time without the
knowledge or consent of the general
manager or board of directors of the
Association, said Mr.. Stone.
When information of the concern
was received here, the board dis
patched Mr.. Stone to New York for an
investigation, according to the letter.
He was to make full investigation.
the board being unanimous in the opin
ion that the business could not be
maintained as outlined.
ut having been concluded that it
was inconsistent with our policy to
have our salaried statesmen handling
our fruit through an organization in
which they were financially interested, |
1t became necessary to devise some
other outlet" states the letter.
Mr.. Stone, following his investiga-
tion, organized the Consolidated Fruit |
Co., Inc, and took over the copartner-
ship, step necessary, he declared, for
protecting the prices of Hood Rivers
apple tonnage. The business, he says,
continued without a break, the only
change being that profits of the con-
cern accrued to the Association.
Mr.. Stone on reorganization of the |
New York concern placed E. w. Birge,
president of the Association, on the
board and made him vice president.
He states this was done without the
knowledge or consent of Mr.. Birge or
any other member of the directorate.
The foregoing explanation answers
criticism that has been directed at Mr..
Birge on the erroneous presumption
that he was connected with the origin
al copartnership
Mr.. Stone has asked the growers of
the Association by their votes at the
annual meeting of the organization, to
be held here Saturday. to determine
the directorate of the Associa-
tion shall discontinue the New York
or maintain it permanently
as sales machine.

The Pneumonia Month

March is a typical pneumonia month
and usually gives a high rate Of NOR
tality for the disease. After a long
and hard winter, the system loses much
Of its resistance and people grow care
less. When every cold, no matter how
slight, is given prompt and intelligent
attention. there is much less danger Of
pneumonia. 1t should be borne in mind
that pneumonia is a germ disease and
breeds in the throat. Chamberlain
Cough Remedy is an expectorant and
cleans cut the germ ladened mucus and
not only cures a cold but prevents its
resulting in pneumonia. IL is pleasant
to take. Children take it willingly.
