.CHAMBERCOMMERCE
H0NORS u. ARTISTS
MISS ADAIR AND MISS CLARK
MADE MEMBERS-SEVERAL
VISITORS MAKE TALKS.


While comparatively little business
was transacted at the weekly 1un-
cheon of the Moscow chamber of COM
merce, Wednesda noon, the attendance
was good and a number of short talks
by visitors and two we'll rendered
piano selections by Miss Isabel Clark,
of the department of music at the
University of Idaho, made the session
an enjoyable one.
Following Miss Clark's piano num-
bers, motion was made by G. P.
Mix, and passed by unanimous vote,
making Miss Clark and Miss Berna-
dine Adair, also of the department of
music at the university, honorary
members of the chamber of commerce.
Mr.. Mix, in offering the motion, said
it was the first time the honor had
been conferred upon any one by the
Moscow chamber of commerce. The
young ladies have very kindly fur
nished musical numbers for the or
ganization ON several occasions
Secretary B. c. Rowe suggested the
advisability of having several hund-
red Latah county road maps printed
for the convenience of the public, and
"a committee composed Of Homer E.
Estes, G. P. Mix, and Mr. Rowe was
appointed to take the matter up with
the county commissioners.
A communication from the Grange
vile chamber of commerce was read,
endorsing the action of the Latah
county representatives in putting a
resolution through the legislature to
memorialize congress to fix a mini
mum price of $3.50 per bushel on
wheat at the shipping point. Mr..
Lamphere, in connection with this
offered some criticism of the Spokes-
man-Review's attitude in opposition
to fixing the price of wheat.
The Rev. r. L. Dunn, pastor of the
First Christian church, made an in
teresting talk, taking for his sub
ject, "Ruts," and commenting on the
danger of individuals and institutions
getting into a rut. He stated that
wider range of reading, cooperation
with others and the use of modern
equipment, as it became available, are
some of the things which aid in keep
ing out of the ruts which menace
everyone.
Rev. Osborne, pastor Of the Metho-
dist church, at PalouSe, was guest
OF the chamber OF commerce ana maze
a short talk, as did also Mr.. Burt
ner, of the agricultural department OF
the Union Pacific railway, who is
the short course in agricul-
ture at the university. He spoke of
the possibilities for accomplishment by
organizations and said
that the Palouse country impressed
him as being one of the best, as we'll
as one of the prettiest countries he
had ever seen.
C. H. Horton, of Garfield, a pioneer
farmer and father of Capt. Geo. Hor-
ton, former president of the Univer-
sity of Idaho alumni, was present,
and spoke of his experiences in the
which he characterized as the
best country on earth.
Mr.. Newell, of the Spokane Seed
also made brief talk.

idaho SPUDS Bring
GOOD Price in TEXAS

The following from the Idaho
Statesman tells the story of the de-
mand for Idaho potatoes in the east
and south. and also shows what the
Idaho grower is up against when it
comes to disposing of his product at
a profit
While Idaho potatoes were selling
on the market in Galveston, Texas,
at five cents pound, w. L. Brown.
formerly of Jerome, but now of this
place, was in receipt of returns on
a car load of the famous Idaho pota-
toes shipped to Bowling Green, Texas,
which netted him the handsome sum
of $67.
THAT is, he got $67 for the car
load after deducting $340 freight
charges and the commission to the
company which made the sale. Had
he included the cost of planting, ir-
rigating, growing, digging, sorting,
sacking, hauling and loading, he no
doubt would have been like Sam
Clark editor of Jim Jam Jems, who
recently remarked that he had per-
fectly good $35 Ford car, but Henry
Ford came along and reduced the
prices 9oo, anu 1nd' INV Ho "oo ioo
ing for someone to whom he could
give the SIS.
"The information that Idaho pota-
toes were retailing in Galveston,
Texas, during December at five cents
a pound comes from John Richman,
brother of Frank Richman of this
place. This information was casu-
ally mentioned in a recent letter.
"The figures relating to the re-
turns received by Mr. Brown on the
car load potato shipment are as fol-
lows: Car sold for $491 freight, $340;
commission to company for selling,
S84-$424; net to grower, S67.
" The railroad company's share was
so per cent of the gross amount re-
ceived for the car of potatoes.

Pittsburgh PIus''
Helps Steel Trust

Chicago-A permanent organiza-
ton has been formed to combat the
steel trusts Pittsburgh plus practice,
and at the request of the attorneys
general of Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota
and Wisconsin the federal trade COM
mission has postponed its decision on
this matter until December 10 next,
when further hearings will be con-
Quoted.
Under the Pittsburgh plus system
steel prices must include freight from
Pittsburgh, though the steel never
saw Pittsburgh. This puts Pittsburgh
mills on an equality with mills nearer
the raw material, and the public pays
the difference.
Opponents of Pittsburgh plus insist
that freight charges from Pittsburgh
should not enter into the price, which
is now unfairly fixed and in restraint
of trade Attorney General Hilton of
Minnesota estimates that the scheme
annually costs the people of the. Mis-
sissippi valley between 25,OOO,00O
and $3O,0OO,000 year.
"An unfair and unwarranted bene-
fit is reaped by the steel industry at
large and an unfair advantage is
given to the Pittsburgh district" he
saws.

Home For Carpenters
Also Age Pensions

The creation of an oldage pension
fund and the establishment of home
for aged and infrm members has been
authorized by a referendum vote of
the membership of the locals charter
ed by the United Brotherhood of Car
penters and Joiners of America.
The referendum vote was over
whelmingly in favor of both propo-
sitions, both measures receiving much
more than the required vwo-thlrds
majority vote.
The vote on the old age pension
proposition was 56,479 in favor and
23, 3,544 against, while the proposition
to establish a home for aged and in
firm members received 55,7O7 votes
in favor and 23,727 votes against.
A committee representing the
United Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Joiners of America will visit
Florida this month to inspect several
proposed sites for the home.
The old-age pension fund will be
created through a special per capita
tax of ten cents per month.

Labor is an essential part of the
community. 1t is a part, however,
and not whole. Nothing, in the last
analysis, is good for the community
that is not equally good for labor. On
the other hand, nothing can be of
lasting good to labor that is not like
wise of permanent value to the COM
umnity. If labor secures an advan-
tage over the community as whole,
that advantage is bound to be tenn
porary, with reaction and ultimate
loss to labor.
The essence of the whole matter is
that labor has no higher interests
than those of the community. The
more labor works for the betterment
of the community the more it is work
ing for itself. 1t is self-evident that
labor properly organized can do more
for community than it can when un-
organized. Regular employment,
honest work with honest pay, good
homes and schools, proper sanitation
and recreation facilities, an efficient
community government with an ele-
men. of civic pride are essential to a
good community. They are just as
essential to the welfare of labor.
Change the word 'labor" to en-
oloyer, merchant, banker or any other
class designation, and the aboIe e
statements will apply with equal
exactness.
My only purpose in permitting my
name TO be used as a candidate for
the democratic nomination of mayor
is with the hope that | may be able
TO help make a better community of
the city of Newark. Labor is just as
rouch interested in that accomplish
r1ent as anybody else can be, and the
assistance of labor is necessary if
any permanent progress is to be
made.

The political cyclone which has been
gathering in the Northwest and des-
cended the other day with devastating
effect on Minnesota has produced con-
sternation in Washington. Magnus
Johnson, Farmer-Laborite candidate
for the Senate, a dirt farmer, Swede
by birth and, according to the servile
daily press not much of a manipulation
Of the Kings English, defeated Gov
ernor Preus, the Republican candidate
by a plurality of something like 75,-
600 votes, the Democratic candidate
running a poor third. lnasmuch as
Hendrick Shipstead, also a Farmer
Laborite, was elected to the Senate
last fall, Minnesota, is represented in
the Senate exclusively by Farmer
Laborite Senators.
Consider the situation in Wisconsin,
in the Dakotas, in Iowa and the
neighboring States, and you perceive
the birth of a new political and social
movement. The two old parties have
lost their hold on the masses in the
Northwest. Administrations have
come and gone in Washington, but the
evils from which the country suffers
have continued unabated and have
actually become aggravated. Grow
ing numbers Of people have become
thoroughly disgusted with the see
saw game between Republicans and
Democrats over the spoils of office
with utter disregard of fundamental
issues. All hail to the farmers and
their labor allies who had the courage
and the vision to demonstrate to the
country that our corrupt two-party
system was not invincible.
In the East where labor prevails
these developments in the Northwest
have had a stimulating effect. Here
we have been more accustomed than
out there to think solely in terms of
the two dominating parties. Our
much-abused faith in their efficacy,
however, is being gradually disillu-
stoned, and perhaps some day labor
in the East will take the initiative
with the "a mers of the West in order
to sweep the country on thorough
going platform of social reconstruc-
tion-Buffalo Labor Journal.

DINNER PAIL EPICS
(By Bill Lloyd

Our Pershing speaking at West
Point, thinks times is awful out of
joint, because some people do insist
that war be put on the blacklist. He
said those folks may be we'll meaning,
but to his notion, it amt seeming,
that people should oppose all slaugh-
ter and not" be fighters like they
oughter
And he presented a long list of
things that calls for the mailed fist.
Resources sure is playing out and
folks will fight, without doubt, to
grab off wells of spouting oil, or get
the metals in the soil.
And then he lists industrial strife
as calling for the gun and knife. |
Judge from what he said that strikes
is something that he sure dislikes,
and he would use the army power to
make the striking worker cover.
He mentions revolutions, too, as
things that cause a great ado, and
with a military frown he would use
force to put them down. Eff 0~ts of
revolutions too he would put under
army screw. In '76, this man so
CORY, would have most likely been a
Tory.
Ambitions to control the sea con-
tribute to a high degree in fixing for
the next great battle, to which We'll
ship the youth like cattle. And yet
our Wilson's war wuZ fought to make
sea powers do what they ought.
He said that any man that thinks
can study out some more conflicts.
1t amt worth while, / think, to do it;
the army men would make US rue it.
| don't think I'll increase the grist
by adding to the gen'ral's list.
You youths that army posters vamp
and ship away to summer camp, can
read our Pershing's speech and know
just how and why you'll likely go,
when folks will tell you not to lag
in fighting for your country's flag,
when Wall street makes the killings
mount to balance up their bank ac-
count.

NOn-UniOn Mill Men
Face Ten Per Cent Cut

Raleigh, N. C.-Textile barons in
this section are preparing to cut
wages of unorganized employees, and
members of the United Textile Work
ers of America remind these workers
that they were told the recent 10 per
cent increase was only "sop" to
keep them out of the union. At that
time some of these unorganized flip
PANTY declared that 1--WE don't be-
lieve in unions" They were fooled
by the praise of mill bosses and tex
tile-controlled newspapers.
In discussing a wage cut at Lowell,
CASTOR county, Editor Barrett of the
Charlotte Herald says:
"That is the place where Mr.. Ross
invested $1,000 10 years ago and has
received on that small investment 70
additional shares of stock and cash
dividends amounting to 1920, and is
now suing some of his associates for
an accounting of another profit of
S792,000."
