GENERAL STRIKE
IN ARCEN TIN E
TIESUP COUNTRY
All Workers Join To Kill
Pension Bill

BUENOS, AIRES, May 4.-Argen-
tines general strike in protest
against the governments pension bill
is effective thruout the country. Ev-
erything is tied up. Labor organiza-
lions, anarchists, socialists and Com
munists have effected a united front
to oppose enforcement of the meas
urN which became effective on May 2.
The bill would allow all workers to
retire on a pension from a govern
ment fund after 25 years of service
But the joker in the measure is that
the workers themselves must provide
the money out of which the pension is
to be paid The workers are locked
S per cent of their weekly wages.
The docking is done by the boss. The
workers have no objection to a pen
sion bill provided the government
and the capitalists pay for it. Even
some of the employers are opposed
to it because it gets them into con-
flict with their employees.
The explosion of a bomb in a rail
way coach caused much excitement in
the capital.
The general strike in Mendoza,
western terminus of the Trans-Argen-
tine line and transfer point for the
Trans-Andean railway to Chile, was
reported to have forced closing of all
business houses. Rosario, big cattle
and grain shipping point near the
mouth OF the River Platte, also was
tied up.
Many business houses in Buenos
Aires were closed today and will not
reopen until the outcome of the strug-
gle is indicated
II is understood legal advisors of
the labor organizations are preparing
to attack the pensions law as uncon'
stitutional. Labor organizations, an
archists, socialists and Communists
have effected coalition to oppose en-.
forcement OF the measure, which be
came effective this morning. Exten
sive demonstrations against the law
were held in Buenos Aires last night
big crowds marching down the Ave
nida de Mayo from the congressional
buildings to the plaza fronting the
financial district.

WOMEN EARN EASY DOLLAR

Some time ago Il. C. Bcall, Sr..
made a most generous offer to
the Ladies of the Orthopedic Aux
iliary.
For each lady attending his
Sunday school class he would give
one dollar to the Treasurer of the
Society. This would hold good
for each Sunday she attended
Las Sunday was the banner
day. Eighteen ladies came to
earn their dollars, and stayed to
enjoy the lesson. In fact each
and every one resolved to return
every Sunday as the class meet,
ing was so enjoyed.
Mr.. Beall's pleasure at the
large attendance and his excellent
teaching of the lesson make the
Sunday school service something
to look forward to.

ATTORNEY STEWART
Wins BIG VERDICT
Supreme Court Holds Wit Hin
that Certain Municipal Bonds
are Not Negotiable

In the burglary of the VaShon
state bank a few years ago a mum
bcl Of notes and bonds were Stol-
rn thcrcfnjm. Among these wer
bonds belonging to Frank Marker
Of LiSabeuIa, in the sum of 81 600.
These bonds were issued by the
city of Seattle, and few weeks
after they were stolen, some of
them turned up at the American
Savings Bank & Trust Company.
The coupons were turned in for
payment. Frank Marker, the
owner Of the bonds, knowing them
to have been stolen, took the mat
ter up whth Alex Stewart and r.
d. llamlm, attorneys in the Are
tic building, who filed suit in the
superior court against the bank
and the city Of Seattle, protesting
payment on the grounds that the
bonds being stolen, and not nego-
table Instruments, belonged to
Mr.. Mankcr no matter where
found and that the bank could
not obtain title to. said bonds
without the consent thereto of the
I3Wner, Marker. The bank argued
that it had purchased the bonds
fen value, in good faith. and that
it was an innocent purchaser, and
therefore was the bona fide Iown-
er of said bonds. The whole ques-
ton hinged on whether such
bonds are negotiable instruments
or not. Markers attorneys ar
gued they were not-thc bank
plead they were. The superior
court held with the bank and
Marker lost his suit.
Not satisfied that the superior
count had followed the law in the
ease Messcrs. Stewart and Ham
lin, Markers attorneys, appealed
the case, and carried it to the SUI
prcme court. Last week by unan-
imous decision the supreme court
reversed the decision of the super
ior court, and thus Marker wins
his case.
Other bonds other than those of
Mr.. Marker have turned up in the
same American Savings Bank &
Trust company as pant of the
loot stolen III the robbery of the
Vashon State bank, suit for which
is pending The decision of the
supreme court will have a far
reaching effect, as hereafter the
purchase of this class of stolen
property will be worthless, no
matter for how small sum it
may be bought from the thieves
and robbers.

fAJNlLER0Y FERRY
RUN ABANDONED
President Hinkley Withdraws Ap
plication for Permit. Joshua
Green Shows Hand

The excitement on the island,
the hearing before the Board Of
County Commissioners, and the
general interest that was aroused
over the proposed supplemental
ferry run from the north end Of
the island to Fauntleroy cove
passed into nOthingneSs like "the
baselesS fabric of dream" last
Tuesday afternoon when Presi-
dent Uinkley arose before the
county commissioners and said :
Gentlemen, | withd dray my appli-
cation" The whole affair proved
to be another "Battle Of Squirt
with nobody killed, and nobody
hurt. "
Ii seems that Il. j. Coleman
went 10 the side of Mr.. Hinkley
a few hours before and whispered
into his cGr that Joshua Green
had bought tract Of land suit
able for a ferry landing adjoin-
inc the EIinkley tract at Fauntle-
ny, and reading between the
lircs was seen the threat Of Green
to put on competing ferry from
Manchester to Fauntleroy, should
Hinliley undertake to put on an
other line from Harper-Vashon
Heights to the same place. Green
is a millionaire, and by cutting
rates to can ilrcducible mini
mum would get the business, with
the inevitable result Of putting
the Hinllley crowd out of bust
ness. It seems Green doesn't care
an iota about the Vashon Island
business, but does claim the whole
Of the mainland peninsula as his
preserves.
This action leaves the island
whera it was last summer. At a
meeting of the Commercial Club
held at Burton Tuesday evening
the ratter was thoroughly dis
cussed and a motion prevailed to
turn the whI0l2 matter over to the
transported m m tee, of
which c. f. Wood is chairman and
pledged the support of the club
to any person or firm that would
open a new line Of transportation
from the island 10 the city. T. j.
Shattuck, in behalf of the West
Pass Transportation company
made an offer that if the island
would grant the use of the Port
age ferry slip and dock, and build
a ferrv slip and dock on the main
land, ait either Des Moines, Three
Tree, or Fauntleroy, that the
West Pass people would put on a
permanent ferry run within sixty
days. The club voted to back
such proposition. President
Miller. with few other devoted
club members. has given to the
ferry matter unsparingly of his
time and attention, and it is hoped
by his wise leadership that some
way may yet be found to obtain
for thp island that adeuuatp

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. HOLD
ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING LAST
NIGHT; WILL DEFEND RIGHTS

The Chamber of Commerce has dis
tributed over 10000 pieces of litera-
ture during the current year about
Delta county and the Grand Mesa Ma
tional Forest, and have had wonder
full results. Over 1000 people regis
tered this summer at Grand Mesa
against 1000 registering the previous
year and We all know that several
Thousand never registered, not know
ing where the registers were placed
Also tourists from AZ different differ
ent states passed through Delta.
We have had hundreds OF inquiries
about this region, and all were ans
wered The banner committee of this
year was the Special Paving Commit
tee, comprising the following men:
W. +. Mathers, A. D. Fairbanks. W
B. Stcekham. J. W. Davis, c. B. Ell
liott, N. Springer. R c. Egnew, and
]. f. Hillman. If it had not been for
this committee working with the
present City Commissioners we would
not have the paving you see on our
Main street today. This committee
will go down in the history of the
City OF Delta as making possible the
first step towards a better Delta, in
the way Of street improvements. II
the Chamber of Commerce had not
accomplished another thing this year
excep- putting through this first paw
ing district, its deed would be consid-
cred a big one and we'll done; it is
the best pavement in Western Colo
rado something TO feel proud
of Watch Delta grow.
We are also proud Of what our
Camp Ground committee has accom-
plished this year. They had several
large trees moved to the camp
groun is and re-planted there, and
they are all growing except one; the
City Commissioners are also to be
cong tulated on the upkeep and care
for tie camp grounds.
It IS also gratifying to see our City
Park heooming a realization and not
a draan anymore. due to the persist
ent effort Of DIT. Cleland Have
you noticed the new lawn. shrubbery,
and trees out there9
The present Board OF Directors
and secretary have worked faithfully
throughout the entire year. and have
accomplished a great deal towards a
better Delta and Delta county. and
at this time wish to thank them for
their faithful service and support
given me.
