State Land Commissioner Moore has
discovered that Chickasaw school
lands were enormously patented as far
back as 1853 as swamp lands, the
state receiving SLIPS per acre therefor,
whereas Chickasaw lands were sold for
$500 per acre. Less than thousand
acres Of such lands so far have been
discovered, but it is not known how
many acres have been thus sold. The
fault was with the general land office
in Washington which corrected the err
ror in about 1855. Commissioner Moore
thinks that by payment Of the differ
ence between $500 and $1.25, which is
$4.75, and receiving Chickasaw school
land patent that the parties who hold
such lands will be safe without legis-
lation. 1t is said that some of these
lands are in Coahoma and Bolivar
counties and are very valuable.

NEW YORK COOP
LAUNDRY GOOD!

Despite the bitter opposition of
private laundries who bribed en-
ployes to put acid in the clothes,
Gloss" bundles, and disrupt the de-
livery service, the cooperative laun-
dry, which was organized by the ar
fists. painters and professional peo-
pie of small means living in that pic
turesque section of lower New York
City, called Greenwich Village, has
made good financially and solved the
clean clothes problem, proving that
it is possible to run successful
laundry for service and not for prof
it. 1t had not only trebled it's bust
ness during the first five months
alone but it gained a rs per cent
increase in patronage within the past
month alone, and cleans the clothes
of its patrons better and more safe
ly than they can be Numbered else
where. It's aim is to give the best
possible service at the lowest pos
sible cost, and not to make profits at
the detriment of the clothes and
pocketbooks of the members. One of
it's first principles is that no de-
structive chemicals and no bleaches
are to be used, and that all clothes
shall receive the same care that they
would at home. The laundry is in
corporated like any other co-opera
tive society; the manager is selected
by board of directors elected by the
membership; and the profits are re-
turned to the members in proportion
to their patronage.
A string of successful cooperative
laundries now stretches clear across
the country, from Greenwich Village
to Little Rock, Ark, San Bernardino
and Los Angeles, Calf, and Seattle,
Wash.

WHY IS THE NORTHWEST
PAINTERS CONFERENCE!

(By II. Arends, Secretary Treasurer)
Reader, if you are painter and a
member of the painters union, take
few minutes of your time and read
this article; if you are not a painter
read it anyway and then call the
attention Of some painter to 1t, in
both cases | thank you for your at
tention.
A definition of the word painter
in this case is necessary; for in the
classed paperhangers, decorators,
signpainters, glassworkers- in fact
all men working at any of the bran
ches of the trade mentioned in our
general constitution.
If you know all about the North
west Painters Conference | am sure
you will read this to see if | am
right; if you don't know the why of
the conference, it is time somebody
explains it to you.
To start in with, the N. W. p. c..
is here for the purpose to bring
about some good for all painters in
the States of Washington, Oregon,
Idaho and British Columbia.
1t attempts to bring close coop

ions Of the Brotherhood Of Painters
located in the above named states.
1t further attempts to bring close
cooperation between about two thou

cal unions. 1t held it's forty-second
semi-annual meeting at Seattle, Feb
ruary % last, so you see for your
self how long it has been in exist
ence. At the close of the forty-sec-
ond meeting it had not reached the
object it was organized for, as yet.
One of the reasons why it had not
accomplished what it should have
accomplished was that it was not
understood by the member
ship why the Northwest Painters
is there.
Another reason is that the local
unions and their members who I'M
derstood the object of the conference
have not given the cooperation
which is necessary in order to expect

If out of fifty local unions ohl!
six or seven sent in their report eacf

after continued effort on the par'
of a small number of these men fol
a number of years you have not got
it, would YOU not call the rest OF
them slackers?
Any organization run by a small
minority is no good and cannot BRING
about very good results.
Now it is no use bowling about
what not has been done in the past
but it is better to get together at
some constructive program that VIII
make a real live organization out OF
the conference.
Painters are good scouts as a
rule, and game, they only want to be
shown how it can be done.
The object of the present Officers
is to work together with the two
thousand members of the local un-
ions under the jurisdiction of the
conference and bring all of them
closer together for our mutual bene-
fit. The Northwest is a separate
part of the United States, we need
to be in close touch all the time in
order to meet our common enemies.
Our members might be well organ
lied within their local unions, but it
is just as necessary to have an or
ganization well organized, composed
Of the different local unions, which
makes us stronger, and this is the
main WHY OF THE CONFERENCE.
In another article next month it
will be explained what the confer
ence is going to do in the future,
Watch for it.

FLOUR EXPLOSIONS

Flour is an dangerous an explosion
as gunpowder! If the contents of a
six-pound sack of wheat flour were
distributed through the air of good
sized house, the lighting of a match
would blow up the building.
Twice the quantity of flour mixed
with four thousand cubic feet of air
in a closed place would, if ignited
generate enough force to throw $500
tons to a height of one hundred feet.
What is the reason for this? When
flour is distributed through the air
Of a room ever particle of it comes
in contact with oxygen, it burns in
Simultaneously on being lighted. A
great quantity of gas is generated
suddenly, and in trying to expand in
a closed place bursts the walls of the
room.
Grain dust is not alone in its ex-
plosive tendencies. for metal dust,
rubber dust, sugar, cork, and paper
dust act similarly. During the last
two and a half years dust explosions
in the United States and Canada
have caused the death of nearly one
hundred people and destroyed more
than S10,000,000 worth Of property.
