MELBOURNE, Australia (By
Mai) For having illegally arrested
Tom Walsh and Jacob johnson, presi-
dent and secretary respectively of the
Seamen's Union, and attempting to
deport them, the Australian federal
government has been forced to pay
damages amounting to $100 to each,
also the heavy costs involved in the
court proceedings. In addition the
government had been forced to pay to
their wives the sum of $500 each as
compensation for mental anguish"

The final result of the Victorian
State elections, held on April 9, places
labor in exactly the same position as
it was prior to the appeal to the cleo

that labor has consolidated its posi-

Whether the Labor Party will be able
to form a government depends on

parliament and whether labor can Sc

Australian Delegation
To Expose immigration
Sharks in Great Britain

MELBOURNE, July (By Mail) -
The callous manner in which immi-
grants are being deceived concerning
conditions which await them in Aus
tralia has come in for strong criticism
from the Miners Union, and the All
Australian Trade Union Congress
which met recently in Melbourne is
considering the appointment of a
Trade Union Delegation to visit Eng
land for the purpose of warning Brit
ish workers against INSCRIPTIONS

and employment agencies who are
misleading them by falsely represent
ing the prospects in Australia. In
Melbourne, it is estimated, there are
ten thousand unemployed, and all
other capital cities have large num-
bers idle
In New Zealand Too.
Not only is unemployment rife in
Australia, but the New Zealand Gov
eminent has been compelled to put in
to operation an unemployment relief
scheme, under which jobless receive
from nine shillings to twelve shillings
per day. This appears to be high in
comparison with the benefit paid in
England, but the cost of living must
be taken into account.

a proved farce in Australia. Thou

ticed.
Land Scheme Opposed.
There is much talk about founding
sound scheme for creating farms for
settlement, but even if this were done
no hope could be held out for new
corners as thousands of Australians
are landless.
There are vast tracts Of land on
which thousands of farms could be
built. This land, however, is held by
wealthy companies and rich squatters
who are opposed to any settlement
scheme which would not benefit them.
Seeing that the tory party of Aus
tralia is mainly financed by these peo-
pie, one cannot expect the present
Bruce-Page government to do any
thing but talk.
The Labor state governments, it
should be added, have no control over
immigration.

Marines KILL SIX.
NICARACUANS IN.
RAID ON SANDING

MANAGUA, Nicaragua. - Word
received here that Major Floyd's
marines were ambushed by General
Sandino's nationalist army and killed
six of the natives is received here
with considerable skepticism. San
dino's army has always fought in the
open field so far, and is believed to
be considerably inland from San Fer
nando, the town at which the ambush
is said to have taken place.
Not Fight.
Local military experts think that
probably a demonstration of the ma
tives of San Fernando, known to be
antagonistic to the invasion and sub
jugation of their country by the
United States naval forces, provoked
the marines into opening fire and
killing some Of them.
This view is strengthened by the
fact that there is no report of any
loss suffered by the marines, except
that zone marine was wounded"
As it is known that considerable
number of marines were wounded at
Ocotal, where battle was fought re-
Gently, but that their names were not
mentioned, it would be easy, say the
nationalist sympathizers here, for
Major Floyd to have saved up these
casualties to report from time to time

French Cabinet Officer
Takes Free and Easy"
Attitude Towards Debt

PARIS, July 27.-"Nations, like
men, have to learn to distinguish be-
tween business arrangements and
friendly assistance" said Andrew Tar
dieu, member of the Poincare cabi-
net, today, while discussing the Ber-
enger-Mellon debt contract. Tardieu,
like most Frenchmen in public life,
regards the French debt owed to Wall
Street now, as something not to be
paid back, as France gave blood and
U. S. gave treasure" in the world
war There are indications that the
House of Morgan contemplates using
navy pretty soon, if this attitude
persists, but Tardieu won't see it.

Insult" to HOrthy Gets
Hungarian Washwoman
Three Month Jail Term

BUDAPEST, July 27.--A Budapest
laundry woman has been given three
months Imprisonment for an alleged
insult to Horthy, the Hungarian Re-
gent. At a public demonstration
someone in the crowd reproached the
woman for owing a small sum Of
money, whereupon she cried out:
"There is no shame in having debts.
Horthy is a greater person than /
am. yet he obtains loans right and
left without any sense Of shame"
Another man, Bella Reich, at a pa
rade where Horthy was received with
great pomp and ceremony, exclaimed
to the crowd: Fancy all this fuss
over one person" He was at once
arrested for insulting Horthy.

SYDNEY, Australia (By Mai) -
Wealthy American tourists who re-
Gently visited Australia and New
Zealand on the chartered pleasure
cruiser Carinthia are highly indignant
at what they call the insulting" be-
havior of the workers of those two
countries towards them. According to
letters received in Australia and New
Zealand from Raymond Whitcombe g.
Co., of Boston, who controlled the
tour, these wealthy parasites will not
visit those two countries again.
1t seems that when these folk
landed in New Zealand and later in
Australia and commenced to flaunt
their superior" breeding and display
a tendency to look upon the working
class people as below them socially,
they We're soon made aware of the
fact that their presence was not by
any means an asset. Also they were
asked some very pertinent questions
by representatives of the working
classes of both countries. These re-
marks were directed particularly at
wealthy employers who made their
fortunes by sweating their employees.
Other wealthy tourists were informed
that it did not become them to indulge
in such waste and extravaganza while
millions were starving in their home
lands.
At any rate the wealthy tourists
have been completely shocked at the
way they were received. And never
again will they visit Australia and
New Zealand to receive such coarse
insults from the working class!
Industrial Unions.
The Labor Council of New South
Wales has decided to encourage, as
far as possible the amalgamation in
to one organization, of all the unions
engaged in a single industry, and to
that end would invite allied organiza-
tons to take ballots of the members
on the question of uniting. A state
ment issued by the secretary of the
council (Mr. j. S. Garden), outlines
the councils policy as follows:
"The first step to achieve the form
alton of industrial unions is the ANAL
gamation of the various CRAFTS. In
the transition period, where unions
overlap and conflict with each other
in the enrolling of new members, the
council shall prevent such overlapping
by instructing the workers involved to
link up with the union specially ca
tering for their craft, calling, or
work"
After referring to the necessity for
assisting poorly organized unions, the
statement proceeds: Effective unity
of the working class can be best.
brought about through a common
struggle against the employers. In

mean mechanical amalgamation. It

protest against the tyranny Of the

ELK in
YELLOWSTONE
Gallatin Herd Estimated at 5000
Winter Loss Very Light
and Herd Conditions Good

There are 9,8O7 elk within the
boundaries of Yellowstone National
park and 7,54O in the area north of
the park boundary along the Yellow
stone river, according to a special
count made during the last week in
February by the park ranger patrol
and representatives of the Forest
service and the Montana fish and
game department.
What is known as the "Gallatin
herd" is estimated to number not less
than 5000 animals, this estimate be-
ing based upon a count made after
the close of the hunting season early
in the winter.
The counts within the park include
1,149 prime bulls. The spike bulls
were not separately counted. The re-
ports from outside the park contained
no special count of the bulls, al
though it was noted that the number
seen was considerably less than the
number known to be In the district.
Nearly all of the counts on bulls sub
mitted were from remote points along
high ridges, and it is probable that a
great many escaped observation, as
the bands were more widely scattered
than ever before at this time of the
year. To the actual count, 10 pei
cent was added to allow for animals
that escaped observation, and this is
considered a conservative estimate.
Only five dead elk were seen dur
ing the whole count. One Of these
had begged down in a sinkhoIe in the
Blacktail district, another had drown
ed in Slough Greek, and three were
winter kills. Herd conditions in gen.
eral are said to be the best ever noted
at this season.

Billings high school won the bas-
ketball championship of Montana at
the sixteenth annual interschOlastic
tOprnament which ended Saturday
night. Butte Central was second and
Helena third. Gallatin County high
placed sixth, and Manhattan, seventh.
By capturing the title, Billings an
nexed a beautiful silver basketball;
the members of the team were award
ed gold medals. Other schools plac-
ing in the contests were Butte, which
took fourth; Forsyth, fifth; and
Sweet Grass County, eighth.
The Klosterman trophy, an award
for craftsmanship, was given to
Butte Central.
The Bobcat medal, a mark of dis
tinction for the individual player
who best combines aggressiveness,
craftsmanship and value to his team,
went to Max WOrthingtOn of Billings.
Billings now holds the champion
ship for the fourth time, a record for
the tournament, and for the second
consecutive time, it having won here
last year. Helena, Billings nearest
rival, has held the championship
three times.
The tournament, in which 16 teams
were entered, is regarded as one of
the most successful ever held here.
No untoward incident marked the
!, contests, all of which were clean and
fast. Missoula was compelled, be-

players, to retire, and Manhattan was

LOUIE STEPPED ON
GAS WHEN GRIZZLY
GOT ALL RILED UP

EDMONTON, Alberta-Here is
the seasons hottest bear story, as
related by Lucky" Louis Larue,
prOspectOr from the FindIay Forks
country.
Louis, fishing for trout, had
just hooked a big fellow when he
felt a hot blast on his neck. Yank-
ing the trout over his head, he
turned around to look straight
down the gullet of a grizzly poised
to catch the descending fish.
The bears judgment was bad;
the fish hit him a slap on his
nose and the hook impaled itself in
his jaw. The prOspectOr dove in
to the river with the grizzly in
snappy pursuit.
The race acrOss the stream was
about even. Louis lost so much
breath yelling to his partner that
he barely held his own in the sprint
across the meadow to his shack.
His partner heard the yelps, how
ever, and with great sang frOid
snatched up a stick of dynamite,
lit the fuse, and hurled it at the
bear just as Louis tumbled through
the door.
Bear, fish, and hook disappeared
in the mighty blast that followed.
