RECRUITING MEN FOR
RAILROAD SHOPS
Short Line Offers Young Men
Opportunity to Learn Trades
at Good Pay.

With the object of recruiting young
men to man their shops so as to keep
their trains moving and carry to mar
ket the crops of farmers and fruit
growers, Short Line railroad officials
are offering to young men between
the ages of IS and As years an oppor-
tunity to learn trades under compel
ent instructors, with positive guar
antee that the positions will be per-
manent whether the striking shopmen
return to work or not.
To bring the matter before the
farm ers and business men of Emmett
and to secure their-co-operation to
relieve the present dangerous situa-
tion, f. C. Mansen, division superin-
tendent of the Short Line, and E. H.
Dewey of Nampa, addressed a meet
ing in Commercial Club rooms Mon
day.
"This strike is not against the rail
roads," Mr.. Manson said. "The rail-
road companies have nothing to do
with determining the wages of their
men. The strike is directed against
the government, which makes the
scale of wages and working rules. l
want you people of Emmett to realize
that this is the public's battle, for
you are the government. These men
are defying the order of the govern
ment
while the situation on the Short
Line system is a serious one il al
lowed to continue, we are keeping the
trains moving at about normal. But
we must have help, if this is to con-
tinue. The people which this system
serves are deeply interestd, bcause un-
less the crops are moved when ready
for market it means ruin to both
farmers and business men. We want
men TO go into our shops, learn the
trades and get into railroading as
life work. We are not seeking strike
breakers, but young fellows who wish
to learn useful trades. We will teach
them, and when the strike is setteld
they will retain their positions. The
men who come back will be taken in
as new employees. That is the settled
policy of the Union Pacific railroad.
We pay from AZ to 81 cents per hour
at the start. A few months under
our system of instruction will make
them competent workmen."
A general campaign is being con-
Quoted throughout southern Idaho,
with good results, and it is hoped that
no delay will be experienced in NOV
ing this seasons crops.
Some 20 to 25 recruits were obtain
ed here and more are needed Free
will be furnished.

Protest Weight Increase.

The increase in the weight of the
box used by southern Idaho prune
growers from 81 to % pounds by the
Western Weighing Bureau has arous-
ed strong opposition and vigorous
protests are being made against what
Idaho growers contend is an injustice
The increase means an added charge
of $40 per car for freight and as COM

ROOMING HOUSE
PARTIAL LOSS
Fire Breaks Out During Night-Oc-
cupants Jump to Escape.

The Spanish rooming house on Main
street in West Emmett, owned by An
dru Ayarzaguena, was partially des-
troyed by fire soon after 2 o'clock
Wednesday morning. Loss estimated
ct about $500, with insurance of
S140O.
The alarm brought out a large
crowd. The blaze started on the
south side of the building where the
only means of entering the upstairs
is by an outside stairway. When the
fire was discovered by Night Marshal
Bert Sargent, the entire south end
the building and roof were in flames
and the escape of the occupants of the
second story by means of the stair
way was cut off. There were three
occupants and they made their escape
by jumping through a window to the
ground. Amana Garrido, the first
one to make the leap, in his excite
ment jumped through window without
previously breaking the glass and his
face, hands and one leg were badly
ctu. The other two suffered no in
juries.
About one-third of the house was
consumed. The fact that scarcely
breath of air was stirring probably
prevented the fire from spreading to
adjacent buildings and destroying
some of the landmarks of the old town
