TO END WHERE?
Is this country on the verge of
jreat and unusual labor troubles?
Are the columns and . columns of
strikes read of daily in the newspa:
pers the skirmish engagements of
a conflict yet to follow?
The call, made in the manufac
turers association at New Orleans,
for employers and employes to or
ganize to fight union labor, sug
gests it. 'Manufacturers, accustom
ed long to fix conditions and dictate
terms to labor, see in the growth of
unions, a coming reversal of con
ditions. Man insists on being a
brute, and they know it. Force and
power are controlling elements to?
day, just as they were when bar
barian hordes overran and obliter
ated nations. Survival is a ques
tion, now as then, of which is the
stronger. Men love to use power,
and the more they get, the more
likely they are to abuse it. If a
single religious denomination had
power to rule the world, it would
fall into hopeless bigotry and insist
upon observances that would out
r -
tyrannize tyranny.
If union labor does not with con
tinual successes, become arrogant
and unreasonable, it will reverse
the usual rule of human action
The manufacturers believe it has
come, or is coming to this, and the
call to organization for resistance
is what the New Orleans declara
tions mean. Apparently, a con
ilict is unavoidable. Rational be
havior on the part of both, might
forfend it, but flushed with victor
ies, past and to come, organized
labor, after multiplied years of de
feat, is no more likely to be wise,
than employers have been in the
past- Growth in power and nunr
bers will make -.. unions unreason
able; for men are only human, and
universal brotherhood an oriental
pipe dreem.

B. It. Thompson, j
. . Corvallis, Ore,
A long time ago, -twow Corvallis
dentists went a-fishing. - A day or
two before, one of - them proposed
to provide himself with ' fishing
tackle. Never you mind; I'll at
tend to that; ,'you just i leave it to
me," said Emmett.
The start was made at daylight,
and after a fifteen mile:- drive the
fishing stream was reached. - " In
stead of the hooks and lines that
Dr. White espected to find' in the
buggy for- tackle, Emmett brought
out a box of fruit jars and a quan
tity of lime. "This is what we
will fix 'em with: you just watch,"
he said.
Some of the lime was put in the
jar, then the thing .was sealed and
with it under his arm Emmett and
his friend sallied up to the fishing
hole. "Now We'll do 'em," he
said, as he threw the jar into the
hole. Then he grabbed White by
the arm, and the two ran off a con
siderable distance and waited for
the thing to explode.
But it didn't burst. After a per
iod of waiting, they brought out an
other jar from the box, loaded it
with lime, again slipped up to the
hole and threw it in. Again they
hurried off to a place of safety, and
waited for the explosion that it
was planned would turn many
handsome trout on his: back, to. be
picked up at leisure v
But again the jar missed fire
And again and again- the process
was repeated without results. .Then
Emmett became disgusted. "I'll
fix 'em" he declared. He took out
another jar, and filled it almost to
the brim with lime. "I'll blow
the whole creek up, and blow the
bottom out of it," he said.
mat time ne ana nis mend ran
along way off when the jar : was
thrown in. They got off far enough
to be certain that stray bits of glass
wouldn tfill them all full of holes.
They sat down and waited and
listened. ; ..'-
But the thing never exploded.
They waited and waited1, and Em
mett made no sign of throwing in
another jar. "Cet's load up an
other one and throw it in," said Dr
White, anxious still for the sport of
which so far they had not had much
"No; by gosh; those jars cost
money," said Emmett enthusias
tically. And here the story ends:
While, who still lives, swears its
true; but Emmett says it's false;
though it is certain that since he
came home tired and , hungry and
Ashless that night, he has never
again fished with the fruit jari
method.
MOSTLY SOLD NOW.
It Brought Lots of Money Into Beaton
j y , ... The Mohair Clip. ", , v;
Mohair is quoted at 36 cents in
the local market now '.The -price
dropped to a much lower figure but
subsequently rallied," s A ; great
many growers got 38 and 38 but
a considerable number failed to sell
at the right time, and - their hol
dings went at prices two or , three
cents lower than they might have
realized. One man with a lot of
1,500 pounds is said to ; have been
offered 39 but held for 40, and at
last accounts, he had not sold.
Nearly all the clip has been mar
keted. The highest price reported
paid outside of Corvallis was the
pool at . Dallas, in which 45,000
went at 38. The clip brought
somewhere between $14,000 and
$18,000 in cash into the county.
Mohair packs so firmly that dealers
say a wheat sack full of it, well
pressed, brings from $10 to $14.
At Monroe a large amount of
mohair was marketed. Wilhelm
& Sons bought over 20,000 and a
transientbuyer who made his head
quarters there and traveled through
the' country bought a 'large , am
ount. " The highest price reached
there, was 38 5-8 cents. The ag
gregate clip of the county, accord
ing to the statement ot dealers is
probably above 50,000. pounds this
season.
