-ture toward Him with his hand
e'Thatsriled me little" said Sturm,
so 1 walked out and said to him:
Look here, George, want you to lay
off of me. I didn't bring up things
against you over there that might
have. I'm not troubling you and you
nave got to cut out this talk about
me-.
Didn't Hit Him Hard.
Then he began to curse me and
called me a - - -, SO I hit
him-not hard, for it just spun him
around. don't know whether he had
a gun or not, but he made a motion
toward his hip pocket, so I grabbed
his right hand and tapped him two or
three times, then picked him up and
laid him down. I told him then that
I could grind him into the ground. But
it was s0N easy that 1 felt ashamed of
myself and let him up. A Union Pa
cific officercame up and asked us to
quit, SO then I went on and worked a
train that had just come in. All 1
want him to do is to quit bothering
me, and I told him he would have to
do it. I'm not a fighting man, and am
not looking for trouble

Hannah said he does not intend to
ask a warrant for Sturm.
IT do not intend to do anything
about it at present" he said.

The experience undergone when at
tempts are made to interfere with the
natural laws of trade seem to be about
the same everywhere. The great
pools which were formed in Japan
during her trouble in the last nine or
ten months. for the purpose of artifi-
cially sustaining the prices of various
commodities, and for the purpose of
artificially upholding certain unsound
credits. appear to have failed COM
pletely in their purpose. This policy
appears in Japan to have checked
production drastieally, and to have
prevented Industrial revival There
is ground for fear that revival of the
war finance corporation by congress
may delay our return to normal con-
ditions which is so well under way.
