McConnell .Would Enact Idaho Law
Similar to Washington. .'
Moscow, Idaho, Jan.- 6. Former
Governor W. J. McConnell, deputy
United States commissioner of immi
gration for Oregon, Washington, Ida
ho and Montana, has started a move
ment to have the Idaho legislature en
act an employment agent law similar
to the initiative i measure recently
passed in Washington state. Commis
sioner McConnell is cooperating with
the carpenters' unioa of this city. The
local union . has received a draft of
the measure and has asked Senator
Jerome J. Day to introduce it
Commisioner McConnell has sub
mitted a number of affidavits made
by laborers at Pocatello, Idaho, in
which affiants state that they paid to
William Caravailis various amounts to
get and retain jobs. , '-
Commissioner . McConnell .stated
that Caravalis so completely control
led the employment of foreign labor
ers that none secured employment ex
cept through him and no foreman
would give any one employment there
in' the railroad shops unless they had
a written statement from Mr. Cara
valis. ' He says there is no state or
notional law by which this kind of
peonage can be prosecuted. v

British contracts call for mules be

many mules 14 to 20 years old have

year-old "brothers," not- a few or Uie
animals accepted on the army con
tracts have already served, on f rms
more than a decade. The old mules
bring the sme prices as the , young
animals, and as the latter are worth
bring in domestic markets, it is pro
fitable, if ungrateful, to send the
, 10 and 20-year olds to the battlefields
:of Europe.

66 inches around the girth and seven
inches around the shin bone. Tane
