RICH STRIKE AT
THE FRANKLIN
Rich Vein of Gold Bearing
Ore Opened Up On The
Franklin Property
Near Pine

Arrivals from Pine the forepart Of
the past week announce a rich strike
on the Franklin Mining property.
which is located near that place
While assays have not as yet been
made on the ore some samples have
been on display in this city, which
are causing some very favorable COM
ments as to its approximate value.
It is stated that the vein is around
five feet thick or the full face of the
drift.
The Franklin has a very enyiable
record in the past of producing more
free milling ore than any other prop
erty in that section and according to
present indications the property
promises to be coming back strong.
1t is very likely that the property,
which is now being operated by Kel-
ly and Sanford will be opened up
quite extensively as soon as the
spring weather will permit.

PROPOSE CREAM
STATION HERE
Mountain Home Dairymen's
Association Meet With
Creamery Representa-
tives Last Tuesday

Forty dairymen belonging to the
Mountain Home Dairymen's Associa-
tion met at the Odd Fellows Hall,
Tuesday January 26, to discuss the
cream marketing problem and to
make arrangements for the future
handling of the cream from this ter
ritory. Joiner Fieldman, of the Co
operative Creameries of Payette,
Nampa and Boise, addressed the
gathering on Cooperation as applied
to Dairy products. A discussion was
taken up with r. L. Baton, Assist
ant Manager of the Boise Valley Co
operative Creamery, as to the pos
sibilities Of operating cream sta
tion at Mountain Home. The out
look is very encouraging, according
to Mr. Baton, for the installation
of cream station here which would
mean weighing and testing the
cream right here and payment of
market price at the time of deliyry,
with additional adjustment check at
the end of each month. The cost of
delivery of the cream into Boise
would be one cent,per pound of but
terfat, which would be accomplished
by the Boise Cooperative Creamery
through the operation of one of their
cream trucks three times per week.
At present express on cream from
Mountain Home to Boise or Nampa
is from to 8 cents per pound of
butterfat Members of the associa-
tion at Mayfeld would benefit
through the operation of the truck
which could pick up their cream at
convenient places along the road to
Boise.
General satisfaction was expressed
by the dairymen present at the meet
ing over prospects of better service
lower transportation costs and more
money for the cream, and the Board
of Directors of the association will
meet on the 2Sth to take up the mat
ter of the cream station. No doubt
a station can be put into operation
in the immediate future and dairy
men in the outlying sections are
urged to become members, as coop
Grafton is essential in order to get
these advantages.

HE MAKES FISH OF ONE
BUT FLESH OF THE OTHER
HypOcritical Anti-SalOOn League Blatherskite
Sees No Harm in Fixing" Congressman

Wall Street, groups of bankers, the
steel trust, labor, the wets-every
element and every bloc has a perfect
right to hire its own organization of
congressman or senators to "put
across" desired legislation.
So far as known the Anti-Saloon
league stands alone in filling orders
when local leagues "wire in" for con-
gressmen, Mr.. Wheeler admitting
that all such requests are complied
with.
Sincere dry advocates may try to
condone these practices by saying,
like Senator Reed, that the subsidized
Legislators were speaking for God
and morality for a price," but the
cold fact remains that Wayne Wheel
er is shattering every American ideal
of government and paving the way
which leads to the legislative auction
block where laws will be sold to the
highest bidder.
Precedent is somewhat of sacred
institution in America and if it
should develop that it is right and
proper and moral for the Anti-Saloon
league to buy the speech and vote of
congressman and senators, then no
objection can be raised when other
groups and elements enter the mar
ket.

Children Driven
Into Factories
Big Manufacturers Are OPP
posing Child Labor
Laws

Philadelphia, Pa. - The mo-
tives of manufacturers assOcia-
tions and big business men in
their opposition to child labor
laws were questioned by Miss
Grace Abbott, chief of the Chill
dren's Bureau of the United
States Department of Labor, in
an address here before the an
nual convention of the National
Education Association.
Miss Abbott charged that when
manufacturers associations and other
big business organizations could not
find any other reason for opposing
child labor laws they spread the idea
that poor boys and girls should not
be sent to school past the lower
grades.
"This propaganda" declared the
speaker, "has convinced many par
ents that they are over-eGucating
their children.
Back of this opposition is the de-
sire of the manufacturers and big
business men to get poor boys and
girls into their kitchens and factories.
"They always evade the issue. They
never plead industry's cause.
eff the child labor measure is a
national bill, they stick up for state
rights. If it is a proposed srate law,
they base their opposition on the con-
tention that the rights of communi-
ties would be outraged"

Help the Farmer
Says VIM. Green
A. F. of L. Pres.
Crops Should Be Marketed in
a Scientific Way, Not
Haphazard as Now

Cincinnati, O-William Green,
president of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, declared while
here attending the quarterly
meeting of the executive council
of the Federation that he be-
lieved the farmers of the United
States were entitled to some leg
islation to remedy their condi-
ton.
"The economic condition of the
farmers is bad," said Mr.. Green with
reference to the defeat in the Senate
of the Haugen farm relief bill. "The
farmers out in the West and North
west have been unable to meet their
obligations at the banks, with the re-
suit that number of the banks have
failed. This reveals a very serious
condition.
"It should be possible to help the
farmer market his crops in scien-
tific way. There must be some plan
better than the present method"
President Green said that labor in
the United States is in healthy con-
dition with no labor troubles of any
consequence. 81 am pleased with the
non-existence of large strikes" he
asserted, "and Ieel that industry is
on the upgrade"

Don't Enforce
Maine State
Labor Laws
Governor and Legislature Are
Blamed for Virtually
Multiplying Them

Portland, Me.-The annual
convention of the Maine State
Federation of Labor condemned
the governor of the State and
the budget committee of the
State legislature for their
alleged notification of certain
labor laws by refusing to pro-
vide for their enforcement.
According to the convention the
statutes of Maine make it mandatory
for the Commissioner of Labor and
Industry to appoint deputy commits
sioner to assist him in enforcing state
labor laws and equally mandatory for
the Insurance Commissioner to ap-
point deputy to assist in enforcing
the insurance laws.
The convention charged that, de-
spite these statutes, State officials,
including the governor, have refused
to permit the appointment of the dep
uties, and the budget committee of
the State legislature has not allowed
the appropriations necessary for the
application of the statutes. The con-
vention called upon the governor "to
rectify at once this annulment of law
and provide ways and means finan-
cially so that so long as these laws
remain on our statute books they may
be carried out as the legislature of
our State determined they should be
when they enacted them"
The convention also adopted resolu-
tions pledging the support of the fed
Grafton to the United Wall Paper
Crafts of America in their campaign
to extend the use of union label wall
paper; indorsed the policy of the
United Textile Workers of America in
its efforts to improve the conditions
of the textile workers, raise their
wages and secure the 48-hour week;
approved the Workers Health Bu-
rcau; urged the establishment of To-
cal union label leagues to advance the
sale of union label products; and con-
demned contract prison labor, de-
manding that the use of prison-made
goods be limited to the State and
its political subdivisions.
Alfred E. Eagles, president, and
Howard C. Woodside, secretary, were
! both reelected.

Washington, D. CA person
elected to the United States Sen
ate will be debarred from seat
in that body if the expenses of
his primary campaign for NOM
ination are in excess of $25, 900,
according to a resolution intro
duced by Senator La Toilette of
Wisconsin, a member of the Sen
ate committee investigating the
Pennsylvania primary.
In the Newberry case the United
States supreme court declared that
Congress does not have the power to
enact legislation limiting expendi-
lures in connection with primary elec-
tions.
Since that decision there has been
no Federal legislation on the matter
and many States have failed to enact
adequate corrupt practices acts.
Senator La Toilette points out that
the supreme court decision and the
delinquency of State legislatures af-
fords an opportunity "for wealthy
candidates or those backed by rich
and powerful interests to attempt to
buy their seats in the Senate by the
use of huge slush funds in the prl-
mary campaigns.
"In Pennsylvania alone the ascer-
tained expenditures for the various
candidates have already reached the
staggering total of between $2,OOO,-
900 and $3,000,000.

WITH
APOLOGIES
"His Masters Voice"

Probably there is no one in
this neck of the woods who has
not read or at least heard of the
incident of the Lord calling to
Moses out of the bushes and CIV
ing him some advice regarding
his future conduct and actions.
This is about what happened
to one of our honorable City
Dads, judging from his vote on
the resolution before council the
other night when the request of
the Newark Federation of Lab
or, asking permission to use the
court house park and adjacent
streets for the usual Labor Day
blowout which has been the GUS
tom for so many past years,
came up for action.
Heretofore it has been merely
a matter of form, as every men,
Der of the council always voted
yes at roll call, and the Mayor
and the balance of the municipal
family was in for the celebration
heart and soul, and did every
thing within their power to
boost the thing along and whoop
'er up generally.
But this year things assumed
a different aspect, the enthu-
siasm over Labor's proposed
jollification was absent, and the
opposition mustered five anti
labor votes, and killed the pro-
ject, although one of the ants
after the meeting was willing to
switch over to the other side,
but it was then too late, and the
only thing possible is to ask for
a reconsideration at the next
meeting.
The antagonism Of some of
the persons temporarily placed
in positions of power by the
vote of the common people, was
just what was expected, but
some surprise was experienced
when an east end statesman de-
clared himself as being against
the annual celebration of his
former friends and old-time fel-
low workmen, especially as in
the not far distant past when he
was honored by being a member
of the Trades Assembly it was
his custom to poise as a leading
light as Labor's defender, ready
at all time to champion the
cause and lead in the attack
against the "open-shoppers" In
fact he was boss wind-jammer
on the subject when he once
fairly got under way.
But alas, how things have
now changed, his silvery voice is
no longer heard at the meetings,
and he no longer offers himself

according to the East Bay Labor
