ELoOD-RD1NED LANDS MAY
MAY BE EVEN BETTER

Grand Junction Sentinel:-It is
not sure thing that the lands flooded
by the waters in the section near
Pueblo are worthless; mayhap they
will be even better than before. Tween
= years ago there was a cioudburst
northeast Of this city and several or
chards were covered with the mud
several feet deep. One man sued the
Grand Valley Irrigation company for
damages TO his vegetables and the soil
but before the suit was settled IL was
discovered that the land was produc-
ing much better crops than before the
flood and his trees took on new
growth.

BROWNISH MOTHS WHICH
ARE so COMMON NOW ARE
ADULT ARMY CUTWORMS.

worms Later in Year-Small
Worms Hibernate in Ground
During Winter But Come
Out in Early Spring
and Feed on ANY
Vegetation.

The brownish moths which are so
plentiful in dwellings, in the evenings
are the adults of the common army
cutworln. They are night flyers and
have tendency to hide away during
the daytime choosing many times the
cracks around the windows and doors.
and when the lights are turned on at
night, they make their way into the
house.
There is no remedy we can give for
the control of this moth with the ex-
ception of the fly swatter These
moths lay eggs in the summer on the
grass or weeds and the young cut
worms that hatch therefrom feed upon
the adjacent vegetation. They burrow
in the ground during the day and feed
only at night.
At the approach of winter these
worms which are about half grown
buirow in the ground and hibernate,
coming out the following spring and
feeding on whatever vegetation is at
hand. It is at this time of the year
that their depredations are the most
noticeable. As they increase in size,
their appetites also increase and they
do considerable damage to field and
garden crops. When they become full
grown, which is about the middle or
latter part of May they burrow into the
soil and transform to pupae, then to
the adult moth such as are now ap-
pearing in extraordinary large num-
bers.
Under ordinary conditions preyen-
tion for the control of the wdlpns is the
best remedy, according to Chas. Jones
of the Colorado Agricultural College.
This may be accomplished by plowing
in the late fall or early spring with
frequent discings or harrowings. In
areas where the worms are concentrat-
ed. an application of arsenical bait
will prove effective. A good formula
is as follows:
Paris lb
Bran so lbs
Syrup ! at
Water 2 gal.
Mix the Paris green and bran dry,
then stir IN the syrup and water. The
above MIXTURE is enough to cover about
eight acres.

WOULD "SIT in"
LABOR ASKS FOR REPRESENTATION AT DIS
ARMAMENT CONFERENCE TO BE HELD
AT WASHINGTON
Letter Sent By Unionists of America to Associates In
Other Countries to Join Movement

Atlantic City, N. J.-Trade union
organizations in the countries invited
to the disarmament conference have
been urged by Samuel Gompers, pres
ident of the American Federation of
Labor, to insist that labor be repre-
sented in each delegation.
Mr.. Gompers' letter to President
Harding urging labor representation
has been made public. In reply the
president said:
1T is within my province to give
this recommendation consideration so
far as it concerns the American dele
cation, but ] cannot do more than
that. 1t is gratifying to know Of your
good will and support:
The president also called the recon-
mendation very practical"
Mr.. Gompers' appeal to labor in
other countries says that the time has
come when the hope Of workers for
the peaceful arbitration of world pro-
blems is possible of realization and
where the discarding of the burden
Of great armament is not only prac-
tical but imperative He says that
the disarmament movement will be
welcomed by the toilers everywhere,
but it should not be the province of
the wage earners merely to observe.
"They have the rights" he says,
"to be participants in determining a
question that 50 deeply affects their
lives, their rights and their interests.
The right to participate in confer
ence dealing with such great human
question has been earned, and during
the war was fully established.
"If labor be represented it is my
purpose to suggest that conference
of the labor delegates from each of
the delegations be held for the pur-
pose of discussing not only the subject
for which they have come to Wash
ington primarily, but also the various
questions of international Importance
in the field of labor in the countries
represented"
This cable was sent to B. Suzuki
leader of the Japanese trade union
movement:
'Endeavor prevail upon japanese
government to have labor represented
on disarmament commission at Wash
ington conference"
Addressing local unions, Mr.. Com
pers said that about 100000 Of the
3 100000 members of the federation

had been dropped from membership
during the business depression be-
cause Of non-payment of dues, but
this was not detection.
This was the first time in the his
tory of the labor movement where, to
such an important degree, the workers
had been able to maintain the integ-
rity of their membership, yet never
had there been such a concentrated
drive by employers, business and fl
nance against union workers.
eve cannot" he added, Sin the pres
ent state of organization, successfully
resist every offer of reduction of
wages, or do it even in the high peak
of organization, but it is better to
resist and lose or compromise than
not TO resist at all, because if you
don't resist you encourage the en-
ployer into the idea that you can't
and won't"

ACTION TO CHAIN LABOR
IS FORECAST BY ATTORNEY GENERAL DAUGHERTY IN Al
DRESS TO LAWYERS--"DUTY TO RESIST" DECLARES
A. F. OF L. PRESIDENT
andmadns of Autocacy and Guardians of Greed Want Make
test by Workers Against Injustice Impossible

ond place it does not show that the
forces of greed have cared much for
the barbs of truth, even when those
barbs have been accurately hurled.
Even the United States govern
ment, of which Mr. Daugherty is an
important part, having in its possess
sion full information about West Vir-
ginia, gathered by costly investiga-
tions, is unable to act with effective
ness. And it has not even seen fit to
publish the facts brought out by the
most recent investigation.
Finally Mr.. Daugherty wants laws
making such controversies impos-
sible" when public sentiment shall
have been sufficiently crystallized.
Finally, then, what it all comes
down to is compulson for the work
ers, involuntary servitude, slave labor
Always the advocates of compul-
sion, the handmaidens of autocracy,
the guardians of greed, come to that
They want it made impossible for
workers to protest against injustice
They want it impossible for workers
to withhold service under conditions
which they find unjust and intoler-
able.
But the American labor movement
says to Mr.. Daugherty and to all who
come preaching compulsion, I'VE will
not have it. We will maintain free
dom at all costs. America must and
will remain democratic.'
Be on guard, be alert, be prepared
to resist in every proper manner such
encroachments upon your freedom
and your democracy.
And always proclaim the great,
fundamental truth that voluntary
agreement, as practiced in organized
American industry, is the only means
to industrial peace and progress and
the only means by which American
freedom can be maintained
The American way is to achieve
willingly through cooperation as the
result of agreement; not unwillingly
in protest against autocratic edict
and compulsion.
Labor wants facts and has made a
long and difficult fight for whatever
legitimately will facilitate publicity
for facts. In announcing himself a
! recruit to this cause the attorney gen
eral would have done better had he
refused TO ally himself with those who
seek the perpetuation of industrial
autocracy under the reactionary BAN
ner of compulsion by legislation, be-
cause in supporting the second prop
osition he has made his support of
the first proposition fruitless.

By Samuel Gompers

by Samuel GOmperS
United States Attorney General
Daugherty, addressing the American
Bar Association, in which the lawyers
are 100 per cent organized, said:
at is an undisputed fact that the
public have a right to know what the
quarrel is about in every actual or
| threatened strike or lockout and SIM
| liar controversies"
He said further that "there should
be some definite agencies in govern
ment" for finding these facts and for
making an impartial finding" and
went on to conclude that compulsory
Jurisdiction over these two factors
to compel them to submit to an in
quiry of this sort is not only desir
able but just"
Mr.. Daugherty apparently sought
to forecast enactment of legislation
for the United States patterned after
the discredted Lemieux act of Cana
da and the industrial disputes act of
| Colorado.
Mr.. Daugherty suggests that at
first the investigation should be COM
pulsory and acceptance of the findings
voluntary, because he thinks our pres
ent study does not quite warrant COM
pulsory awards. His intention is,
however, that after further study and
experience there should be binding
awards.
United States cabinet members do
not go about the country offering their
mere personal opinions. They are un-
derstood as voicing the viewpoint and
policy of the administration of which
they are part.
Attorney General Daugherty's bar
association speech forecasts legisla-
ton intended to compel workers to
submit their aspirations and their de-
mands for justice to compulsory in
vestigation and award. Compulsion
always is followed by punishment for
violation of the compulsory order.
In principle compulsion is wrong
In practice it will not work.
In principle compulsion is autocrat-
ic. In practice it will not be accepted
by free people.
Let the warning be sounded. This
vicious proposal, so frequently expos
ed by the American Federation of
/ Labor, so repeatedly denounced by the
great lovers of freedom, SO consistent
ly discredited in practice, again
threatens our people.
The men and women of labor must
be on guard.
Mr.. Daugherty says that 'the ex-
perience of the past shows that in
most cases full, accurate, reliable pub
licity of the facts has been sufficient
to compel an adjustment of these
cases." meaning industrial disputes.
Mr.. Daugherty evidently thinks facts
are absolute. Most facts are relative
and not absolute.
In addition to having committed
himself to an un-democratic principle
which is repugnant to the whole
American concept of social organiza-
tion and conduct, the attorney general
fails to find the truth in history.
The experience of the past" does
not show that industrial adjustment

it does not show that there has ever

The convention of the Ohio State
Conference of Carpenters convention
finished it's work Wednesday noon
after one of the most successful ses-
sions in the history of the organiza-
ton. The convention was held in the
labor temple on South Second street,
and opened for business on Monday
morning.
A. E. Eggleston, vice-president of
the state organization, opened the
meeting and introduced Mayor Culla
j. Smith. Mayor Smith addressed
the delegates, assuring them of well
come to the city, and told them the
city was theirs while here.
On behalf of organized labor of
Hamilton, Stanley Ogg, president of
Trades Council, welcomed the dele
gates to the city in stirring address.
He told of the strength of the labor
movement in Hamilton and its pro-
gress during the past year.
John Northway, secretary of the
Hamilton chamber of commerce, deliv-
cred a splendid talk also. He told of
the close relations of the local cham
ber of commerce and it's desire to
further the progress of labor in Ham
ilton. He mentioned the differences
existing in other cities between
chambers of commerce and labor and
which are not to be found here.
Without doubt, though, the talks
that most interested the delegates
were those delivered by Arnold Bill,
secretary and organizer of the state
body. Secretary Bills talks are al
ways interesting to the delegates. He
told of the great progress of the or
ganization during the past years. He
spoke at every session and the dele
gates never seemed to tire of hearing
him.
Thos. j. Donnelly, secretary of the
Ohio State Federation of Labor, ad-
dressed the convention on Tuesday
and was we'll received
Organizer Wilson, from The Penn
sylvania state conference, was pres
ent Tuesday and delivered talk, tell
ing of great progress of his organiza-
tion in Pennsylvania.
Many other speakers talked, and
there was great flow of oratory all
during the convention.
The delegates expressed their ap-
probation of the treatment they re-
ceivsd during their stay and also ex-
pressed the hope that they would be
permitted to meet here again soon.
1t is planned to have a committee
of three representing the Carpenters
Union in each locality to see that the
workers receive the full benefit of the
workingmen's compensation law. The
reason for this is that it was brought
out during the session that only about
10 per cent of the workers really un-
"
them. Several instances were citeo
where the physicians declared injur.
ed workers we'll and the workers lost
benefits that they were really entitled
to, mainly because of their ignorance
of the law.
1t is to be the purpose of the com.
mittees in the various localities tC
educate the ignorant SO that they may
receive all the benefits due them un-
der the law.
Only one thing occurred to mar The
serenity of an otherwise most success
