Files Report in
Carlisle Case

SAN FRANCISCO Special
Master Estes Snedecor filed a re-
port in the Ninth L. S. circuit
court Wednesday recommending
that the Carlisle Lumber company
Of Onalsska Wash. be allowed
five years 70 pay S15s 900 back
wages to 14s Of its employees under
an order Of the national labor re-
lations board.
IN 1888 the circuit court upheld
the boards order requiring the
wage payment 70 men thrown out
Of work during a 1885 strike
against the company over union
recognition. The company said II
couldn't pay the money without
entering bankruptcy, and the court
in December, 1899, appointed Sne-
decor 10 formulate a working plan
10 comply with the NLRB order.
Snedecor recommended the
company he permitted 10 de-
duct money owed il BY its
employees, and that a. long as
the company operates in good
faith the back wage award
should be decreased 90 per
cent 10 appro ximateIy
$4,000.
Snedecor's report also recon-
mended that as Of last January.
the company should pay off the
back wages at IL per cent per
month until January, 1912: then
2l2 per cent per month over a
period Of five months until the
NLRB order is complied with. No
interest would be required.
Snedecor recommended that
If the company suspends OPP
erations. the award should be
restored to its original full
amount. less than that already
paid. The report urged that
the circuit court prohibit Car
Isle company officers from in
ereasing their own salaries.
Snedecor rejected two company
proposals. One provided payment
Of so per cent of the award in
script, which would be exchange
able for cleared land owned by the
company and the remainder IN
cash and five-year note. Sne-
decor said this plan was merely
a device to scale down the award. "
The second rejected plan proposed
payment of 25 per cent of the
award within six months.
The circuit court took Snedecor's
recommendations under submission
for later decision.

Ended by New Pact

San FRANCISCO-A last-min-
ute telegram of Secretary of Labor
Frances Perkins prevented a strike
today of the CIo Marine Cooks
and Stewards union, which would
have tied up so per cent Of water

coast.
Negotistors for the union and the

ISOLATION, operating IFS vessels in
intercoastal and offshore COM
merce. reached an agreement a
few minutes after the midnight
deadline. and it was sent immedi-
ately TO the union hall for concur
renee of the membership.
The union membership approved
the agreement BY unanimous vote
at 2:33 a. m.
The agreement left nothing fur
Their to negotiate. nothing to arbi-
trate. 1t was the result of conces-
sions on both sides, although rep
resenting approximately the posi-
ton of the shipowners on last
April 30.
The union agreed that the ship
owners can hire such employees as
doctors. nurses and dieticians where
they choose. II agreed employers
should hire stewards for freighters
from the union list. II also agreed
that insofar as the hiring OF new
personnel for passenger ships. IT
would accept the shipowners' ear
lier proposal that II there were no
one available among the union
membership TO fill such posts as
gymnasts or head chefs, they could
be hired outside the union. The
union. however, would have the
right TO bring him within the union
membership before the voyage was
over.
Regarding the union proposals.
the shipowners agreed 10 an eight
hour day for certain ratings aboard
passenger ships; union members
on passenger ships to get Saturday
afternoons and Sundays off in GER
tain ports, providing they were not
arrival or departure days The
ports would be either the home

chain stores to the boundary of
one state" Consumer dissatiS-
faction with chain store taxes,
however, has already begun to be
recorded, with the result that as
of January l, 1910, there were six
fewer states imposing such taxes
than there were several years
ago.
Non resident motor carrier
fees are exacted today in nine
states, the League found. Because
of this type of trade restriction
it costs a total of $1,100 in state
line fees to transport goods be-
tween Alabama and South Caro-
lima in a five-ton truck-even
more if a trailer is used.
Dairy farmers in 81 states, ac-
cording to the survey, have sue
ceeded in protecting" them
selves with oleomargarine laws
at the expense of the consumer.
Two states require that in hotels
and restaurants, the plates on
which this product is served, be
indel libby marked "oleomargar-
ine."
"Altogether, the picture is a
pretty discouraging one" the
League states, "and one of the
worst things about it is that the
American citizen is losing his
time-honored privilege of trading
freely in all parts of his native
country, and without realizing
what is happening to him."

least, it is generally regarded as
joke when, as matter of fact, it
should be taken seriously.
1t is an inflammation of glands.
Of course, the glands most promi-
nently affected are the salivary
glands-the parotid glands located
around the upper part of the jaw
near the ear. But the reproductive
glands are also affected. This is
what makes it serious because the
consequences may last for life.
How 1t Is Spread
Since the infection is localized in
the parotid glands, it is natural
chat infection to others occurs from
cough droplets and, in household
of children, from the indiscriminate
common use of the same handker-
chief or towel. 1t is almost impos-
sible, once mumps is started in q
household, to keep others from be-
ing infected.
In the army camp where I was
stationed during our last war, we
had wards for all the infectious dis
eases. Sometimes the measles wards
and scarlet fever wards and chick
enpox wards would be entirely emp
ty. But we always had mumps.
Whenever a new draft of troops
came along, we got a couple of
mumps wards ready because we
knew they would soon be filled.
The first symptom is pain around
the ear, so that the child is thought
to have an earache. But if lemon
or orange juice taken in the mouth
causes pain, it is likely to be mumps.
Swelling Increases
The swelling increases from the
third to the sixth day, at which
time the face takes on the comic
appearance which has made the dis
ease to be considered as q joke.
The important thing to stress in
treatment is the prevention Of the
involvement of the reproductive
glands; for this, rest in bed is i'm
perative, several days in young chill
dren or even a week in children at
the age of adolescence, from IA
to 20.
Aside from rest in bed, the less
treatment given the better. An ice
pack or cold compress, or hot COM
press, whichever is the more COM
Portable, may alleviate the discom-
fort o. the swelling of the salivary
glands. In putting q cold compress
