Details Of Truax Case

In this particular case certain EN-
ployees of Truax went on strike and
organized boycott OF his restaurant
business In furtherance OF the boy
colt the strikers stationed a number
OF pickets on the sidewalk in front
OF the restaurant at :;isDee. Ariz. The
pickets walked back and forth in
front OF the door, carrying banners,
distributing circulars, accosting pa
irons and passersby and calling out
! in loud tones and vociierous language
[ their admOnitions not to patronize the
business As a result of this conduct
there was great falling off in Tru-
AXIS trade and serious danger that his
business would be destroyed.
Truax alleged all these facts in his
+ com plant, and asked for an injunc-
ton to stop the boycotting and picket
ing, but il was held by the superior
court. and also by the Arizona Sd
preme court that the statute in ques-
ton did not permit the Issuance of an
injunction in such a case. although it
was conceded that If the strikers had
committed these same acts against
some one for whom they had never
worked. an injunction could be is

Claims Class Legislation.

Claims Class Legislation.
1t is contended by counsel for Tru-
AK that this statute is most glazing
example of class legislation, and that
it violates the constitution of the Uni
ted States, by taking away from some
citizens a right freely accorded to all
others. thus denying them the equal
protection of the laws.
An unusual feature OF this case is
that it has already been once argued
in the supreme court of the United
States and is now up for reargument.
The first argument took place in
April, 1920, at which time Mr.. Math-
ews appeared for the plaintiff. The
court then took the case under al
yisemept and considered it for more
than a year without boiug able to
reach any conclusion.
Taft Will Hear Case
Then followed the death of Chief
Justice White, after which the re-
naming members of the court, Of
their own motion, ordered the case
to be restored to the docket for re-
argument at the present term, after
the appointment OF a new chief jus
tice. Thus IL happens that this noted
Arizona case will be one Of the first
TO be argued before Chief Justice
Taft.

WOULD FERTILIzE THE AIR
Scientist Sees Immense Possibilities
in Scheme Which He Claims Is
Quite Feasible.

Recently men have undertaken to
mine nitrateS, or some Of the mate
rial for nitrates, from the air. There
is nitrogen enough in the air, no doubt,
to blow civilization of the earth
were that nitrogen concocted into ex-
plosives.
Now comes a hopeful German sci
enlist named Riedel, who believes
that the air itself may be fortified
to such IAN extent that plants will
bound forth from their seeds like ten
mis- balls. He would fill the air where
plants are imbedded with carbon d.
oxide (carbonic acid gas). Plants
love this gas as fresh-air crank loves
the out of doors. They use it ambi-
tiCusly, but could, use more. Man
expels 1t with his breath. Plants take
it up and expel oxygen, which man
can use. Thus men and plants are
mutually helpful. But more carbon
dioxide Is always good thing for the
vegetable world, and Doctor Riedel
proposes to supply more.
He would get his supplies from the
blast furnaces, whose great lungs ex-
pei this gas. An industry which uses
1000 tons of coke per day expels So
100000 meters of gas of which about
20 per cent is carbon dioxide. Doe
tor Riedel has tried fertilizing the air
in this way and his happy plants have
tlourished amazingly.

PLANET DESTROYED BY, HEAT
Possibility That Our Own World May
Meet the Same Fate Through the
Rays of the Sun.

Worlds, with probably millions of
human beings like ourselves, have
been destroyed and turned into glow
ing gas by stupendous conflagration
In the heavens.
The sun to which these worlds be-
longed must have rushed into a zone
of heated gas and have had it's atmos-
phere set on fire.
1t was toward the end of last sum-
mer that the vast outbreak was first
seen, but it was only lately that as
tronomers realized it's awful signifi-
cance Now it is known that the star
which caught fire had its heat in
creased by no less an amount than five
hundred thousand times in the course
of few days.
Can anyone imagine our own sun
filling the sky with it's blaze and send
ing forth a heat hundreds of thou
sands Of times greater than it does at
present.
Humanity would be withered as a
leaf dropped into white-hot furnace,
and the earth itself would melt with
fervent heat.
Yet there are those who predict
such fate as that for our planet.

Southwest HarbOr,

DR.. j. D. Phillips was called to
Bar Harbor last week by the death
of his brother, DR.. George A. Phillips,
whose passing is deeply regretted
by many friends here.
Mrs. j. D. Phillips is spending a
few weeks in Boston and vicinity
with her sisters, Mrs. Mae Horn and
Miss Clara Driscoll, also making
calls on her son and daughter at
Andover academy.
Saturday, Oct. Is, several auto
loads of ladies attended the recep-
ton by the town committee of
newly enfranchised voters at the
Dorr cottage in Bar Harbor.
The community was shocked Sun
day morning to learn of the death
of Philena c., widow of Nathan
Clark, which occurred Saturday
night, after only few days illness
of heart trouble, though she had
been in failing health for more than
year. A true Christian, a faithful
officer of Jephthah chapter, 0. E. s.,
always ready to lend a hand in every
good cause, she will be sadly missed,

Mrs. Seth S. Thornton, who lost
her husband a few months ago, has
moved from Houlton back to South
west Harbor, her former home. She
is welcomed as resident by her
many friends here. The Houlton
correspondent of the Bangor Com
mercial says of her: "Since Mrs.
Thornton came to Houlton to make
her home, she has endeared herself
to the community and has been of
such value to the town that her de-
parture means great loss to the
community. Mrs. Thornton is
woman of rare accomplishments,
and during her stay in HOulton has
served on the school board for sew
eral years and was chairman of the
republican woman's committee for
the county,"

LIVES MIGHT BE SAVED.
Another Story Showing Need o
Swans Island Gable.

(By I. B. Gage.)
One winters day in Swans Island
harbor, by the yachtsmen of the
present day called "Burntcoat Har-
bor," and by the local population
usually known as "Old Harbor,"
fine, three-masted schooner lay at
anchor. The vessel was loaded with
plaster, and was bound from the
eastward to New York city. The
captain had his wife and family
here with him, the mate as we'll had
his wife and children on board, and
a happy prosperous voyage was an
ticipated.
There was no cable connection
then with the mainland, and
weather reports locally were almost
unheard of. That day, while the
skipper was on shore, he said to
Capt. William Herrick at the hotel
at Swans Island, II want to get
around Capt Cod, and then I'll feel
that the worst of my 'wintry trip is
safely over"
Soon the wind came off from the
northwest, blowing moderately, and
apparently it was a good Chance for
the schooner to take her departure.
The skipper got up his mudhook, set
sail, and left the island.
When the good people of the is
land received their next lot of news
papers, they read that this very
schooner on the morning next after
her leaving Old Harbor, had been
beset by a northeast snowstorm,
driven ashore on Cape Cod, all
hands lost, and vessel and cargo a
total loss. Had there been storm
signal service there, such loss of life
and property would have been
avoided.
Such circumstance has arisen
more than once, and is apt to hap
pen many times again in the future.
AS storm signal service can be af-
forded to Swans Island and vicinity
without any new or large appropria-
ton by the transfer of cable from
the surplus stores of the war depart
ment to the weather bureau, or to
the lighthouse service, why
should this means of saw
ing many lives and much
property ,be denied the hundreds of
fishermen and sailors who would OBJ
serve the storm signals if they were
installed on Swans Island?
