Years--Dr. Joseph Singer Halstead,
father of j. d. Halstead of the Hal
stead Lumber Company at Five Points
celebrated his 107th birthday at
Breckenridge, Mo-, on March 4. Our
local lumber merchant, who makes an
annual pilgrimage to the old folks
was at the celebration. His father
is authoritively asserted to be the
Oldest Mason alive in the U. S. He
is native of Kentucky, but moved
to Missouri shortly before the civil
war and went to farming. His wife
is 70 years of age, and out of eight
children seven are still alive and
have reached a ripe old age Dr.
Halstead claims his longevity is due
to moderate eating and drinking tho
he has used tobacco all his life.

elsewhere today we print the Cox
banking Law that was up in the Sen
ate this week. Some slight amend
ments were made, and an effort was
made in the Senate to amend the bill
so as to delay for some three or four
wears the time for the bill to go into
effect More than likely an effort will
be made to secure an amendment of
same import in the house. The idea
appears to be that a sudden weaving
Will be too severe a shock to the bank
presidents, directors, etc, who have
been taking the cream in the way of
loans from the moneys of their depos-
ltOrs; and that several years contem-
plation of the matter will strengthen
their nerves for the final ordeal In
other words. the problem for the
house probably will be: Shall we
muZzle them now. Or will it be better
to wait until grass comes?"

A REAL BoLsHEvIk MENACE

A correspondent, writing the State
Miner from Wickenburg, says "It is
significant from recent articles in the
State Miner and its protege, the Five
Points Star. that these two publica-
tlons are not Hunt organs"
R1ghto, neighbor! We believe the
management and control of the
democratic party in Arizona is under
dictatorship of what we are pleased
TO term the "Huntski machine" We
believe it is the duty of the governor
OF Arizona to cast aside tyrannical
powers and conduct the State admin
Istration according to the true Jeff
ersonian policies of officials who are
pledged to enforcement of law, rather
than a Magloski dictatorship of the
prOletariat-Or laboring classes

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Oct. 15.-
Business in this convention of the
American Federation of Labor comes
in three important groupings:
l. Development of scientific re-
search looking toward the aceumula-
ton of facts upon which to base ma
jor policies.
2. Banking, investment and insur-
ance, for the protection of the wage
earners and the strengthening of
trade unionism.
8. International relations, taking in
the question of the international Fed
Grafton of Trade Unions, the world
court, the League of Nations, bolshe-
vism, Latin America.
Next to those questions the OUT
standing thing here is that this is
most emphatically William Green's
convention, captured by him on what
almost amounted to an emotional
wave the first day. Green came here
safe for reelection without opposition
but he captured the enthusiastic admir-
sion of the delegates, which means
much more than simply not being op-
posed. Here is an army that viii
stand back Of its leader and go over
the top with him under all conditions.
The warmth of devotion is in the air.
At the outset President Green, in
a most impressive address, made it
clear that he follows the lead of the
late chief and friend, Samuel Com
pers. Green's reverence for the MEM
ory of Gompers is deep and sincere.
II think" he said to the convention,

lonists associated with the American

MERCHANTS AID
STRIKE FUND AS
DEADLOCK HOLDS
Two Mill Owners Agree To
Negotiate; Package Plant
Closes Down.

With the strike Of 1900 Aberdeen
mill workers drawing to the close of
the third week, conditions are prac-
tically unchanged. One mill owner is
inclined to treat with the strikers,
another is lowering on the "fence," /"
while two are reported to be adamant-
ly opposed to any concession.
But the tsrikers as a whole are
more encouraged this week than ever
before, as relief committee appoint
ed Tuesday has met with gratifying
success in its endeavors. Several mer-
chants have expressed q willingness
to contribute as high as $25 week
as long as the strike lasts. Local
grocers have expressed a willingness
to extend long credit terms to strik-
ers guaranteed by the committee.
One local business man who had al
ready donated 500 to the funds of
the strike heard of a mill worker
yesterday who was planning on taking
his daughter out of college because of
lack of funds. This generous busi-
ness man forbade such action, howev-
er, and advanced funds to enable the
girl to stay in school.
Committees to negotiate with Clyde
Pitchford, manager of the Aberdeen
Lumber and Single company, am
with the Schaffer interests, were
named at Thursdays mass meeting.
Mr.. Pritchford has announced himself
as being glad to negotiate wit the men
while the Schaffer group have ex-
pressed a willingness to talk it over at
least.
Officials of the Donovan and Wilson
mills have absolutely refused to meet
with the civic committee appointed
by ]. M. Phillips, strike arbitrator,
and are also reported to be inclined to
spurn all demands Of the strikers. .
Picket lines were formed at three
mills Monday, but the Donovan No.
2 and the Aberdeen Lumber and Shin
gle mills closed down MondAy night.
The Schafer mill continues to run,
sending men down from Montesano
as fast as the pickets prevail upon
them to quit. The pickets have caused
the night shift to be abandoned, how
ever, and the day shift is far below
normal numbers.
The General Package company shut
down this week when its employees al
so decided to quit. Fred Hastert,
manager, said there was no trouble,
and that he will continue friendly re-
lations with his men until definite
settlement is reached.
Another mass meeting of strikers is
slated for 2:30 o'clock for 2:30 o'clock
Saturday afternoon at the Finnish
hall, and Mr.. Phillips hopes to have
encouraging news from the mill own
ers by then.

Labor Convention Strong
In Samuel Gompers' Faith

prefer the philosophy of Samuel Com
pers, we prefer the trade unionism
he has preached, we prefer the doc
trine he propounded, rather than the
vague theories that are offered as a
substitute therefor"
When the German delegation,
through its chairman, addressed the
convention Green again expounded his
faith in straight trade unionism. And
the Germans expressed their admira-
tion and devotion to the same gospel.
The German spokesman declared
that the German republic is safe, that
five million trade unionists twill de-
fend it to the utmost" that "only
fools and political blockheads" think
the old regime can ceme back, and
that bolshevism is an empty shell in
Germany.
The manner in which the Germans,
repeating the example of Peter Grass
man in Ell Paso, captured the conven-
tion here is a subject of much COM
ment. They scored a great success.
Latin America is going to run
strong in the race for attention. There
is a resolution before the convention
calling for an investigation into the
affairs of Porto Rico and for the
transfer of control Of the island from
the bureau of insular affairs to a
civil bureau.
Hotter than this is renewal of the
war against the Venezuelan Dictator
ship begun two years ago in Port
land. It is resolved that President
Green may arrange a hearing at
which Venezuelan refugees and exiles
may in personal safety present their
testimony as to oppressive conditions
in that country.

SEATTLE, Oct. 15.-The Governor
has called the Legislature into special
session, November 8, and there is
much to Indicate that labor is again
going to have a bitter fight on it's
hands for the preservation of our
State Workmen's Compensation Act.
Forces have been at work for some
time carefully planning a vigorous
fight to open the law to competitive
insurance and for other amendments
that would result in the complete de-
moralization of this humanitarian leg
islation.
These forces have unlimited fl
nances at their command and are dill
igently at work among the legisla-
tors. Their activities can only be off
ct by equally diligent work on the
part of labor. Every central labor
council and every local union in the
state is therefore, hereby, earnestly
urged to name a special committee to
