Jury in Case
Drank Evidence
Was Discharged

Anything is likely to happen
in Los Angeles. In a bootleg
gine case a bottle of moonshine
was placed in evidence, and the
evidence turned over to the jury
when it retired.
When it reported tEe evidence
was gone. and the jury was SO
befuddled that q small majority
thought they were going north,
while large majority thought
they were going south.
In other words. the jury was
divided Z to S on the evidence at

Carpenters and Joiners
 Hold Highly Successful
 Coveniton in Greenwich
BANQUET AND . SMOKER ENJOYED
 BY CARPENTERS
(Special to Labor News.)

Greenwich, Feb 13-The banquet rendered the delegates to the Carpenters and Joiners convention last night by the members of Local Union, 196, of Green wich, was held in the Pickwick, Arms at D. m. When Toastmastef George Chandler invited the delegates and guests to be seated for the dinner there was not vacant seat in the dining room. MT. Mitchell, a member of the Greenwich Local Union, proved to those present that he could sing as well as drive nails, and with the assistance of Delegate Murray of Hartford, and President Fitzgerald of the State Building Trade Council, he was able to keep all in good humor by singing some of the new songs. For instance, How Dry I Am"
 At the conclusion of the dinner the toastnas ster informed the delegates that owing to an important business engage ment the President of the Borough, Mir Crosby,@was unable to attend, but had sent an able representative in his place. MT. Whitrnore was introduced as the presidents representative and delivered a very interesting address in which he said for fifteen years the Builders and Building Trade Unions of Greenwich have went along harmonously without any strikes or lockouts. Mir. Whitmore Is builder.
 The toastmaster then introduced Mr. Food, President of the Chamber of Commerce of Greenwich. MT. Food proved a very interesting speaker. Mir. Norris, also an employer, was scalled upon for few remarks, and as usual, everyone was pleased to hear him.
 General Organizer William J. Sullivan of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, delivered an address on the conditions generally as 1t effects the members of his organization.
 Secretary Ornburn of the Connecticut State Federation of Labor was the last speaker of the evening Mr. Chandler, the toast1naster, i'll closing said this con- cludes our program at the hotel and I sincerely hope that you have all enjoyed the evening.
 After the banquet, the majority of the delegates adjourned to the Knights of Columbus Hut, where smoker had been arranged.
 The Greenwich local had several musicians on the job and a good time was had by all present Delegate Rus sell of Hartford, and one of his col leagues. Brother Murray entertained with a dance until interrupted by friend of MT. Murray by the name of Murphy.
 It seemed that MT. Murphy had at tended the smoker to hear some speak ing and not dancing, but after debating the question everything was satisfactorily i adjusted and the entertainment went on. Some of of the delegates disappeared early in the evening, but for certain reasons no mention will be made as to ! where they went.

High Lumber
 Profits Can't
 Be Concealed

Washington, Feb. 16.-Bookkeeping ingenuity has failed to conceal high profits in the southern pine lumber industry, according to a report by the federal trade commission
 It IS stated that I43, representative companies claimed an average profit of 9 per cent on their investment in 1917 and 8H per cent profit in 1918 Revision of the returns," by the companies, however, increased the average earnings to I2 per cent and II per cent.
 The commission stated that even af- ter this revision the production costs were inflated in many instances, in cluding the expenses of turpentine and box production and other enter prises which should have been omit ted. f3sSIN
 A wide range in the earning rates was reported for both years mounting from loss of 5 per cent to a profit of B per cent in 1917 and from a loss of I3 per cent to a profit of g per cent in 1918.
 With the termination of govern ment control of prices in the industry at the end of 1918, the report stated, prices of southern pine lumber. lad vanced rapidly to unprecedented levels during the latter part of 1919 and early 1920"
