STRIKERS WATCH TRAINS
Hoqiilam I. YV. W. Kxpect Strike
breakers, but None Appear.
HOQUIAM. Wash., Iarch 17. (Spe
cial.) First signs of possible trouble
in the I. W. W. Greek strike of com
mon labor in two of the Hoi'iiiam mills
developed at an early hour today, when
about 150 of the - strikers gathered in
the railway yards here in anticipation
of tho arrival of a special train with a
party of strikebreakers-. The men had
received a report that tho mills were
intending to bring in a large number
of men on a special train to arrive in
this city about 2 o'clock.
The strikers congregated In the rail
road yards about 1 :30 A. M. and re
mained around the sheds and freight
cars until about 4 o'clock. Kvcry whis
tle of the engine of an arriving freight
train, or of a switch engine in the yards
toward Aberdeen was the signal for
the men to draw together and prepare
for the arrival of the supposed strike
breakers. The mill owners are not
planning, they say, to bring in strike
breakers, as they are confident they
can secure all tho men they need in the
city, and say they are not yet ready to
resume operations on a large scale.
Conditions In the strike are general
ly quiet. A big meeting of 1. W. W.'s
and Greeks was held this afternoon at ,
Finnish Hall, but these have been neiu
daily and nightly since the strike be
gan. Both mills have continued opera,
tion of part of their plants since the
strike was called.

SAL.KM, Or.. March 17. (Special.)
In a large number of ietters already
received and many more arriving daily,
prison authorities and the executive
offices are beinr importuned strongly
for clemency in favor of Albert Green,
Karl and Kmmett Shields and Ben Hin
ton. who with Joseph Casedayv ex"
Deputy Sheriff of Grant County, were
implicated In tho murder of OIlie Sny
der, in Grant County.
HlnTon was first of the quintet to
he tried and he was convicted of mur
der In the second degree. Then Case
day was tried, and from the feelinr
that arose because Caseday, in his ca
pacity as lieputy Sheriff was one of
the ringleaders, he was convicted of
murder in the first degree and sen
tenced to be hanged. Seeing Caseday'3
fate, the last three all pleaded guilty
to murder in the second degree and
were sentenced to life imprisonment.
Caseday's sentence was commuted by
Governor West. Now not only from
Grant County but from other places
in the state many letters arc being re
ceived in Salem in behalf of the men.
No plea has been made for Caseday,
and some of the letters are not favor

and the two Shields. Some also ask

Now suppose you observe some trouble with the body and that
you are slowly going from bad to worse. Wouldn't you accept the

some hurtful, or more likely, that you are not selecting the food
which contains the elements Nature requires for the daily re

sat on the bench when the men were

one of the strongest letters so far re

Shields brothers and Green be given
the privilege of "honor" men. He
states that their families need their
support and he gives complete assur
ance to tiie Governor that he will

states they were misled in aiding and

Lawyers and others in various walks

Ollie Snyder was murdered by the
quintet because Snyder took the life
of Arthur Green, a brother of Albert
Green. Arthur Green and Deputy
Sheriff Caseday were also close friends.
Caseday arrested Snyder and entered
into a conspiracy with the other men to
kill Snyder as he was taking him over
the mountains from one Jail to another.
The letters have all been placed in the
hands of the State Parole Board as fast
as they have arrived, but so far the

is suffering from acute indigestion,
with complications, arising from a
liver disorder, which have developed
into an aggravated case of jaundice.
n. E. Byrd, penitentiary physician,

Colds and How to Cure Them
When no additional cold is cont .act
ed a strong man will, as a rule, recover
from a cold in about ten days' tini6
without any treatment whatever. The
trouble is he is ylmost certain to con
tract a fresh cold before he is rid of
the first one and that is where the
danger lix. Tills succession of colds
or a prolonged cold is tho forerunner
of catarrh, pneumonia and consump
