JUST So AND NO
REGRET TO SLAIN
WORKERS. WIDOW
While r. R. Gunrnan's
Case is Postponed

Another postponement in the case
Of Dewey Norman, railroad detective,
who shot and killed John Bajur for
the theft Of handful of rotten pota-
toes from the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul yards, has been obtained by
Judge Borrellix of the Des PLANES
street municipal court. The trial has
been continued until June 10.
Magnificent generosity was dis
played by the American Mill & Lum-
Der Co., labor-baiting organization,
when it mailed John Bajurs widow
the sum Of IS, almost three weeks
after the Staying took place. Bajur
had been in the employ Of the lumber
company for three years. and the So
represented his last wage. The letter,
which Mrs. Bajur showed in the court
room, expressed no regret at the
death Of their employee.
Undertaken Wants $554.
In the same mail which brot this
letter to the stricken home came a
bill from the undertaken who buried
Bajur, amounting to 1854.
The payment Of this and other debts
is out of all question for Bajur's
widow and two children. Their only
support comes from son of IS, Adam,
employed by the Western Electric
company, for SIT a week.
adam will probably be laid of be-
fore long," confided Helen, Bajur's Is
year-old daughter. so many men
have been laid off at the Western
Electric that nobody there feels his
Job safe"
Widow Is III.
Bajur's widow has been seriously
Ill since her husbands death. The
long and constant delays of the trial
Of the slayer, Dewey Norman, have
forced her to appear in court almost
every week, only to be told that the
case cannot be heard that day.
LeglonnaIre Keeps Away.
Lawrence Packwood, American Lee
gionnaire, who was instrumental in
postponing the trial of Norman, ar
raigned ON a charge of manslaughter,
until an alibi could be managed, was
absent from Judge Borrelli's court
yesterday.

CONGRESS- QUITS
AFTER KICKING
''CAL" IN PANTS
Barely Missed Being an
Oil Can


WASHINGTON, June 9.--Congress
has adjourned for the summer. 1t
started stormily and ended mildly. It
came in like a lion and went out like
a lamb. The next regular meeting is
scheduled for December.
This season will be remembered par
ticularly for its spectacular investiga-
tions, the ousting Of cabinet minis
ter, the dismissal of Daugherty and
Burns, its opposition to the wishes of
Calvin Coolidge and the rumpus Gre
ated by the so-called progressives.
The session opened last December
with Democrats and Republicans
equally divided so that the progress
sives held the balance of power. For
days they blocked organization of both
houses, finally electing Senator Smith,
South Carolina, Democrat, to the post
of chairman of the interstate COM
merce commission over Senator Cum
nuns, of Iowa, Republican.
The Teapot Dome investigation Gre
ated a national sensation but was
eclipsed by the Daugherty expose
which showed the attorney general,
together with Jess Smith, Ohio
CRATER, the leader Of a gang of crooks
that stole, blackmailed and peddled
Justice" to the highest bidder.
Among the Investigations of lesser
note but Of great Importance were:
fha informal rovorua h,,-oa,, r,,s- ~.
veterans bureau probe and the delv-
ing into the Texas land frauds.
Turnout the whole session Congress
treated Coolidge like poor relation.
His advice was ignored and his au-
thority iouted. His own party spurned
his leadership.
Coolidge sponsored the Mellon tax
plan. Congress tore it to pieces and
adopted the Democratic substitute.
Coolidge opposed the soldiers bonus
bill. Congress passed 1t over his veto.
Coolidge opposed the Japanese ex-
clusion law. Congress passed it anS
Coolidge was afraid to veto it.
Coolidge tried to turn over Musclsa'
Shoals to Ford in return for the latw
ter's support for the presidency. Ae
senate committee rejected the Fordc
bid. a
The Norbeck-Burtness farm-diversid-
cation bill favored by Coolidge was
killed by the senate.
Coolidge favored the World Court.
Republicans accepted the Pepper sub
stitute, which in turn was repudiated
by the president.
The last moments Of the dying con-
gress were given over to prediction
jockeying on the part of Democratic
and Republican senators. The harm
less Walsh Teapot Dome report was
not palatable even in it's mild form to
the G. 0. P. They filibustered against
it. No doubt the Democrats will make
the air blue with Republican perfidy
during the next election campaign tho
graft ran riot in Washington under
the reign Of the autocrat Wilson
as well as under the regime of the
present White House weakling.
One good result OF the last session
OF congress was the insight il gave the
working class into the corruption
prevalent in Washington and the in
herent rottenness of capitalist govern
ment based as it is on a social system
which robs the many in the interests
OF the few. The scandals and ex-
posures which resulted in the ousting
OF cabinet minister. the dismissal of
Daugherty and Burns gave the move
ment for class Farmer-Labor party
in the United States a big impetus.

MARKETING COMMITTEE
HAS CONTRACT FORM READY

Tentative plans for the foundation
on which they hope can be built
comprehensive marketing organization
to handle the S100,0o0,000 fruit crop
Of the Northwest have virtually been
completed by the Northwest Farm
Market Commission, which conclud-
ed two days meeting in Seattle last
week. Though progress necessarily
will be slow, the commission hopes
to be able this season to get a move
ment under way by which the farm
er who produces a box of apples at
an actual cost of dollar or more will
be able to get at least that much in
stead of the so or go cents box for
! which many of them had to sell the
last season.
The FIVE members of the commits
sion are: e. M. Gillette, Malaga;
John w.. Langdon, Walla Walla; c.
King, Benton, Hood River, Ore; ].
r. Schwartze, Yakima; F. H. Moses,
Cashmere.
On Monday, A. c. Cherry, attorney
for the commission, gave out in Yak
ina the long awaited contract form
ing the basis of agreement between
the growers and their community, dis
trict and northwest organizations.
The plan follows very closely the
California Fruit Exchanges scheme
of organization. 1t provides for sale
of stock to growers, who must own
common stock to control their own
organization; for contracts binding
growers to the organization for not
less than three years, with six years
being optional. All local units must
] be fundamentally alike to easily effect
their union with larger district organ
i izations and later with the central or
ganization covering the northwest.
Tentative plans have been pre-
pared" said Mr.. Cherry, ''for local
associations, SO that growers not now
oganized and who want to further an
effective fruit marketing movement
can organize at once. The commits
sion has proposed basis of organiza-
ton sufficiently elastic to meet the
needs of different communities and
to be merged into any comprehensive
plan adopted.
NATURALLY, day system through
which the Northwest fruit crop can
be marketed proftably cannot be de-
veloped overnight. 1t must come by
slow growth on the right foundation.
The commission has prepared a
ground plan to meet the immediate
requirements of local associations,
and sufficiently elastic to mold into
whatever comprehensive plan is ulti-
mately adopted.
"The. commission regards this pre-
1in1iaary work as important and does
not want to take snap judgment, no
matter how good some Of the market
ing proposals look. The members of
the commission are practical men.
They know what the fruit growers
require and they are going to be sure
that whatever they propose will do
the business.
cat the next meeting of the COM
mission a definite report will be
made on what the commission hopes
will be the beginning of market
ing organization which will make
possible the development of the
Northwest fruit industry on per-
manent basis"
