MUCH MONTANA GRAIN GOES
TO WEST COAST PORTS

Spokane.-The granting of rate
reduction of 7 cents hundred down
ward on export wheat west from CEN
trail Montana to coast points has add
ed greatly to the wheat trading in
Spokane and has BEEN responsible for
opening two Minnesota grain COM
panies and two from Montana.
All this grain, which has amounted
this year to about 100000 bushels
of export grain and 100000 bushels
of export grain and 100000 bushels
of domestic grain, is stopped in Spo-
kane for inspection and distribution
and largely sold from offices in Spo-
kane.
The Atwood-Larsen company of
Duluth, the w. C. Mitchell company
of Minneapolis, the Greeley Eleva-
tor company and the Patton-Kjore
company Of Montana have opened of
fees in this city. In many points in
Montana the domestic rate to the
coast is less than to Minneapolis and
from those points these companies
ship their domestic grain to Spokane.

IF BACK HURTS
BEGIN ON SALTS
Flush Your Kidneys Occa-
sionally by Drinking Quarts
of Good Water.

No man or woman can make
mistake by flushing the kidneys oc-
casionally, says a well-known au-
thority. Too much rich food creates
acids which clog the kidney pores so
that they sluggishly filter or strain
only part of the waste and poisons
from the blood. Then you get sick.
Rheumatism, headaches, liver trou-
BILE, nervousness, constipation, dir
ziness, sleeplessness, bladder disor-
ders often come from sluggish kid
ney.
The moment you feel dull ache
in the kidneys or your back hurts,
begin to drink soft water in quanti-
ties; also get about four ounces OF
Jad Salts from any reliable phar-
macy and take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for
few days and your kidneys may
then act fine.
This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been
used for years to help flush clogged
kidneys and stimulate them to &C
tivity, also to help neutralize the
acids in the system so they no long
err cause irritation, thus often re-
lieving bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful eff
fervescent lithia-water drink, which
every ore can take now and then to
help keep the kidneys clean and
the blood pure, thereby often pre-
venting serious kidney complica-
tons. ADVERTISEMENT.

This is the only place in which

there is no argument about the best

Yet they are stubborn and I'M
reasonable, these strikers. At the

quarters, 1 met a widow of CO. Her
clothes, I should judge from the

They may have belonged to her

going home with a sack of flour,
from the strike relief, over her

at Elizabethton, Tenn, only about
125 miles from Marion, put them
across the border and told them not
to return.
1t is a mob like this that will have
something to say to Mr.. Hart and
Mr.. Neal if they recognize the union.
Before leave the owners, I want
to deal with one aspect of this
whole southern mill problem which
is not too well known. That is the
supposition that, in some curious
Way. all mill owners are southern
gentlemen, while most, or all, OF the
disconnected workers are Bolsheciks
or some other kind of disconnected
foreigners.
The fact is that very large per-
centage Ct the ownership of the
southern textile mills is northern.
Miss Sally, living in Baltimore, is
not a particularly good example.
But a rather perfect example Is that
OF IIlG MdIlF ll1C-OCllNhCo OOAAkk'S"AAJ !,
which owns the mills in Gaston1a
and whose headquarters are in Paw
tucket, r. I.
And as for the strikers, the quaint
thing is that they really are 100 per
cent southern and American-except
for the foreign" agitators, whose
"foreignness" is indicated readily by
such names as Peel, German, Hogan,
Ellis and Ross.
l want to switch quickly now-it Is
such a quick switch on the type
writer, but so distant in social
values-from the owners to the
strikers.
There is a strike headquarters. 1t
is only few feet behind the mill, on
plot which by some mischance
does not belong to the company.
1t is the basement of a little store
to which the workers have very
curiously been going instead of to
the company's store.
Under this store the strikers have
made for their headquarters a room

time clothes, going along the road
with a sack of -four over her Shout
der. She believed in God. But in
the modern and efficient America,
there apparently is little place for
old women who believe in God.
And there was another man N
that dug-out." A man with quiet
eyes. I do not find many men with
quiet eyes in New York.
This mans name is Dan Ellis.

threatened a new strike several days
before the shooting.
That is all Baldwin's version, and
fair enough, too.
Now there comes in some one
whom I wish to add to the names OF
Squire Adkins, the sheriff, and
Squire Morgan, the lawyer, as some
body to be remembered in American
history. That is Miss Sally.
Miss Sally Baldwin is an unmar-
ried lady who lives in Baltimore
She owns most of the stock Of the

pany, r. w. Baldwin, is her cousin
Miss Sally" is a name famous IN
Marion. 1t probably would be diff
cult for her, the absentee owner, at
her home in Baltimore, to under
stand how well known she is in this
filthy mill village. She has little to
do with Marion except to receive her
dividend checks, on time.
am sorry for r. w. Baldwin, Miss
Sally's cousin.
Gives Breaks to Strikers
The manager and chief owner Of
the Clinchheld mills is Mabry Hart.
1 have spent hours with him. like
him very much. He is big, bronze
faced. husky athlete, whose father
and grandfather before him were
mill owners, and who would prefer
to have less dividends and more
peace.
The third mill owner in Marion is
William Neal, who seems to be quite
as much on the side of the strikers
as he is on the side of his fellow
mill owners.
We have, then, out Of the three
mill owners in Marion-MiSs Sally
and Mabry Hart and William Neal
at least two of whom are not I'M
willing to have conditions changed.
I do not think that they will dis
agree with the theory that every
worker in America has, according to
our present standards and accord
ing to our protestations of unprec-
edented prosperity, the right to a
fiivver, a radio, and house which
will keep the wind out on a cold
night.
But when we get Mr.. Hart and
Mr.. Neal thus agreeing, what have
we?
We have precisely nothing.
For behind all these individual
manufacturers there is the powerful
Southern Textile Manufacturers As
ISOLATION. They resent "Scabs'' as
bitterly as do the strikers. They
have their mills in the south because
of that famous supply of cheap and
satisfied labor" and they do not de-
sire to have any Of their members
becoming expensive and unsatisf1ed
by dealing with the union.
Many Things to Do
If Mr.. Hart or Mr.. Neal were to
deal with the union-if, by the most
poetic imagining, Miss Sally were to
do so-there are number of things
that the southern textile manufac-
turers could do.
They could halt the entire sales
of such manufacturers. They quick
ly could inform the middlemen to
have nothing to do with these mills.
There is another element, less Or
ganized than the textile manufac-
turers and, therefore, less pictures
que, quite as important in control
ling the decisions of the manufac-
turerS.
This is, in Marion and every other
mill town, the local body of respect
able citizens.
They do not wish any labor
trouble.
They do wish the northern manu-
facturers to bring their plants to the
south.
They do wish to sell their lots, to
find new patients for tooth extrac-
ton and appendectomieS.
1t was a mob of men like this,
professional men and policemen,
who kidnapped the labor organizers
