SLAYER ELUDES POSSE
BUT DIES IN QUICKSAND

William Jones, confessed slayer, es-
capped Monday from a sheriff's posse
under a fusillade of pistol shots, only
to lose his life in flight in the grim
quicksand Of the Colorado river.
The slayer, his hands manacled
and fI'antically waving above his
head, slowly sank to his death be-
meath the surface in the turbulent
atream while his pursuers ceased
firing and saw him Submerged.
When they reached the bank Of the
river Jones had disappeared.
Jones, a negro, leaped from an
automobile in which his captions were
taking him from Calexico, Calf, to
Yuma and eladed them unscathed
The escape was made while the party
was crossing the state highway bridge
spanning the river near here. Jones,
fleet lof foot, outran the. officers and
dashed into the river and began to
swim across, when the officers saw
him carried under water in the sands.

Cattle Bring S12.5O;
 Shoes Are Same Price

Fl Paso, Texas, Oct .25.-Trade re- ports from the east that the leather market is improving and shoe manu- lecturers are increasing their opera tions, brings this comment from the Labor Advocate:
 ''We should think. so. Cattle selling here in. the southwest as low as $12.50 per head, and real good pair of shoes costing SIP, does not look good to the man who is trying to get ahead. There is a lack of proportion here. No wonder the manufacturer can 'in- crease his operations He ought to be able to increase his style of living, his Wages, his philanthropies, his char ities, in fact, everything but the souls content with that condition"

Judicial Usurpers
 Again Show Power

San Francisco, Oct. 25.-The state supreme court decision denying La Toilette Wheeler electors a place on the California ballot is another lesson to the people of this state on judicial usurpation. ..
 The law provides that "a candidate for any public office" may be non,in- ated by petition subsequent to pri- mary or in lieu of primary election. The law directs the supreme court ot give a liberal construction to this statute SO that the will of the electors shall not be defeated.
 Under the federal constitution, can didates for president and vice presi- dent are not voted for directly by the people. They vote for electors who, in turn, vote for president and vice president.
 This 'technicality is taken advantage of by the state supreme court, and by a 4-to-3 vote the judges held that the electors are messengers"
 The decision is SO devoid of fairness, and so totally ignores the legislative mandate for a liberal construction of the statute, that reaction is alarmed at the popular resentment.

Carbon MOnOxide
 Kills Thousands

New York, Oct 25.-Carmon mon oxide poisoning IS claiming more deaths III. all modern countries than any other cause except deaths from vehicular traffic in New York city, said Dr. Charles Norris, in addressing a national association of police sur geons and medical directors
 "Cardon monoxide poisoning is disease of industrial life, as in coal mines and among workers about gas machines" the speaker said. Tt claims more victims as regards health and life than any other poison.
 Tn closed spaces, as garages, 1t is certain many fatal accidents occur yearly that are not recorded in mortu- ary statistics. A recent investigation showed that small car produces one and larger cars or trucks two, cubic feed of monoxide per minute, and when an engine is running idle with doors closed the atmosphere of space large enough to hold car is contaminated to dangerous extent"

 Representatives of 58 railroads, in cluding subsidiaries and terminal com panies, oppose the clerks demand.

In 2 Parts - Part 1
By JOHN P. FREY, Editor, International Molders' Journal

This altar had been purchase by the Boatman's Union, and erected i'll the temple so that the members of the union could have a special altar of their own upon which to place their sacrifices
 From the stone inscriptions listed by Orelli 1t IS evident that the Roman me tai workers, particularly those making war munitions, had metal trades fed eration in connection with their craft or ganizations, this federatio being com posed of the sword makers, arrowsmiths elllptlcal shield makers, round shield makers, dart and javelin makers, spear makers, and knife makers unions Trade union organization was apparent ly as extensive in the Roman colonies and provinces as in Italy itself, and as the Romans were great builders 1t Is but natural to expect that the building trades were also thoroughly organized
 Evidences of such organization have not been difficult to discover, but it has remained for an American archaeolo- gist, MT. w. H. Buckler, to discover a building trades agreement, which, in the light 1t throws upon ancient trade unions, is as valuable and remarkable a discovery to the student of industrial problems as the discovery of Tutank- hamen's tomb was to the world in gen. eral. This building trades agreement entered into 1,5O0 years ago, will be made the subject of the succeeding ar ticle,

Hate Propaganda
 COnvicts Strikers

1 Washington, Oct. 25-The United order review of the conviction of Needles Calf, railroad workers who refused to man defective equipment during the shop mems strike of 1922
 The employees were convicted on the ground that they conspired to obstruct interstate commerce and delay the mails. In the trial court the workers insisted that their refusal to man the equipment was to protect life and en- force improved working conditions and this intent did not constitute a con spiracy against the government. At torney General Daugherty started the proceedings, and the conspiracy yer dict has been upheld by the various courts, and is now practically upheld by the supreme court.
 The trial hinged on the motive of the workers. The government in sisted that 1t was plot against trans portation and a jury sustained this position. The government was aided by a hate propaganda conducted through the public press. Lurid charges were made that the workers abandoned trains on an Arizona desert causing hardship to women and chil- dren.
 After this propaganda served its purpose, the Santa Fe railroad man agement called on all station agents and other officials to assure the people these statements were incorrect and that Needles, Calif., a town of 5000 population, has first class hotels.

Jefferson. The threatened war between the lone Marshal of the supreme court and the armed forces of the United States, of which Jefferson was com mander- chief, did not break out Jef- ferson had the laugh on Supreme Jus tice Marshal. Marshal bragged he told that fellow "what was what" Madison refused to sign the appointment of Pa triot Maberry as justice of peace il the village of Washington, D. C., and that was the end.
 The end? Why, bless your heart, no. Out of the above opinion, delivered in the heat of petty political quarrel over a petty political job, subsequent cu- preme court judges constructed the monstrous theory that the supreme court had the power to declare acts ot Con- gress unconstitutional. And thus 1t comes about that women still have the sacred inalienable and constitutional right to work as long and for as little as their boss can make them and that nine-year old babies may still slave twelve hours per day with out fear ot interference from the majesty ot law
 Such, dear brothers and sisters, IS the power of precedent, and if you believe in the Constitution as it was written by the founding fathers and not as 1t was amended by Marshal and his successors, you're a Bolshevik. So there you are!

G. P. o. Printers Gain;
 Long Deadlock Broken

Washington, Oct. ZS.--After dead
 ock for five months, during which time . committee representing the journey men printers employed in the govern ment printing office were negotiating
 with Public Printer Carter for a new wage rates, a settlement has been
 greed upon. After the committee with the officers of Columbia Typo graphical Union acting in an advisory capacity had failed to secure a satis- factory proposal from the public print Ter, President Howard of the fnterna- tional Typographical Union was called in and secured the offer which was unanimously accepted by the commit tee acting in behalf of the employees. The proposal provides for a general advance over the rate of 90 cents since the enactment of the law con- ferring upon the public printer auth ority to fix wage rates. The public printer also withdrew his original pro- posai that several grades with variable rates of pay for different classes of work be established, which suggestion met with general opposition by the printers.
 The new scale, which will be pre- sented to the joint committee on print ing of congress for its approval, is as follows: Hand men, o5 cents; readers, make-ups and imposers, $1; operators, $105. Night rates are IS per cent high CT than day rates. Overtime and Sum day work, price and one-half; holidays, double price and one-half This is the nent printing office that price and one half has been allowed for overtime. Last years flat rate was 85 cents an hour

My buddy has a piece on the front page in which he, gives Hail Colum- bia' to the galoots who are always shaking in their boots because some body IS going to do something uncon- stitutional to the Constitution, says Adam Coaldigger in the Illinois Miner. But, as is always the case with that fellow, he don't finish the job because he forgets to tell how the courts got in the pleasing habit of telling Con gress, which IS elected by the sover- eign American people, to go way back and sit down.
 I lost my law history in the Johns town flood or the Chicago fire, I've forgotten which, so 1 have to quote from memory and my memory ain't as good as it used to be. But I'll do my little best to hand it to you straight.
 If I recollect right the precedent. under which the Supreme Court made itself the guardian of Congress and the administrator of the Constitution, was established toward the beginning of the last century. John Adams had just been voted out of the presidency. Thomas Jefferson was president, and James Monroe was his secretary ot state John Marshal was judge of the Supreme Court and a fellow by the name of Maberry was trying to be Jus- tice of the peace in the village of Washington, D. C. Adams, Marshal and Maberry were Federalists. James Madison and Tom Jefferson were Re publican-Democrats and the Federal ists and the Republican-Democrats or the Democratic Republicans loved each other about as much as two Kilkenny cats with their tails tied together.
 Adams had been defeated by Jeffer- son, and before leaving office, he did what every president has done ever since, that is, he filled every appointive office he could think of with deserving members of his party. Among the patriots that were appointed in the eleventh hour of the last day of Adams administration, was this fellow Maber- "; who aspired to the high office of justice of peace in the village of Wash ington, D. C. But when Federanst Maberry presented his appointment to the Republican-De Democrat secretary of state, Madison, the latter refused to sign on the dotted line and without that signature, Maberry's appointment re- rnained fair dream.
 e,itss s9 tea . ss
 To avert this awful calamity, Ma berry rushed to Adams and Adams rushed to Marshal, while Madison rushed to Jefferson. The upshot of the rushing about was that Chief Justice Marshal threatened to mandamus Mad ison to sign Maberry's meal ticket or know the reaon why. Madison canne back and said he'd be damned if he would This riled up Federalist Mar shal more than ever and he threatened Madison with most everything su- preme court judge can think of in the nature, of legal penalties. Thereupon Tom Jefferson got in action and dou- ble-dared Marshal to butt into the af- fairs of the executive department of government which, as he we'll knew, was none of his durned business, as his stall was in the Judicial Department which could interpret law but could not execute law.
 "Oh, you think can't do your" comes back Federalist Marshal "1.I
