SHOPMEN STRIKE
ALONE ON JULY |
Maintenance of Way
Strike Called
OFF

Saturday, July 1 about 80 per
cent of the 100000 men who were
ordered to strike walked out from
shops all over the U. s. These men
struck because of $40,0OO,O0O
wage cut effective July 1. Ballots
were sent out to the men to vote as
to whether to strike or not and when
the votes were counted it was found
that they were unanimously in
favor of walk-out.
The maintenance-of-way men,
numbering about 100000 were to
strike on the first, but it was post
poned and then called off thru the
efforts of the labor board. This
leaves the shopmen alone on strike
and thus weakens the power of the
walk-out to injure the railroads.
In many rail centers strikers have
been notified that they would forfeit
all rights and consideration for
future employment if they failed to
return to their jobs Immediately. AT
San Bernardino, Calf, division
point on the Santa Fe system, and at
ogden, on the Southern Pacific
buildings are being set up to house
the new workers and statement
has come from the Southern Pacific
company that "The number of shop
crafts employees is steadily increas-
ing"

Broncs Defeated
Twice by Indians
Of p catello

The Pocatello Indians defeated
the Broncs for the second time Tues
day, the Fourth of July by score
of to 2. The Blackfoot men did
not warm up enough before going
into the game and were not in good
condition to start it. AS a
result the Indians run in four scores
in the first inning, which woke the
boys up and they held them for the
rest of the game without another
score, but the damage had been
done, Blackfoot being only able to
make two scores.
The support from the men was
not very good on either team, but
the pitchers played good game.
Sunday the Broncs went to Poca-
tello and were defeated at the
hands of the Indians by score of
6 to 10. Martin Howard did not
play and Roy DeKay was unable to
60 which weakened the team and
gave the Indians their chance to
wallop them, which they did.
These are the only two games that
Blackfoot has lost and it hoped
that they are the last for this year.

especially interesting. Mr.. Peterson
said that no other nation on earth
enjoys the same amount Of freedom
that we do and that the chief reason
is because we have no cast among
our people thus giving every man
the same chance and putting him on
an equal footing with millionaries
and presidents as far as his rights
and privileges are concerned. He also
said that the one big fault with the
United States was the lack of inter-
est taken by the common people in
governmental affairs; they leave it
for the other fellow to do, and that
unless the people wake up and do
their part the radicals in the U. s.
will destroy the government and we
will again be subject to despotism.
Thousands of people attended the
sports at the fair grounds and altho
the weather was hot they enjoyed
the events. Cars were parked
nearly all the way around the
grounds.
In the evening about 1000 cars
lined up around the fair grounds to
watch the fireworks which proved
to be a wonderful display. A. street
dance was given by the Blackfoot
band from p. m. to 10 p. m.
