For the benefit of our readers who may have been led to wonder whether labor really intends to co-operate or obstruct, we have asked the editors of many journals representing organized labor whether in their opinion disaffected labor in war industries should accept Government arbitration instead of striking. The replies -are published in this week's issue of THE LITERARY DIGEST March 2d. While the minority which speaks for socialists and "working class" radicals insists that labor in the words of the Wheeling Majority, "should never in war or peace give up its right to strike," other labor editors reflect a different opinion. For instance, the Labor World (Duluth) says that "No American work ingmen who have any regard for their country and the great principles of human liberty and democracy which are at stake in this war. will do one act that will delay for a single moment the building of a ship or the production of an article needed to feed, clothe, or equip our boys in France or in 'training at home."

Alain 707O, A f09S. William Dolfen. whose true name is Silvio Bortola Dat Bon, was Indicted by the Federal grand Jury yesterday on a charge of perjury alleged to have been crmmltted last October, when ha was formally examined by Immigration In spector Bonham as to his entry Into the United States and his right to re main here. Included In the indictment are portions of the testimony given at the same hearing, which confirm the srspiclons of United States Attorney Rankin that Dolfen, prior to his arrest last September, had for some time been In the employ of the German govern mnt as a spy In this country. Dolfen was taken from a troop train at Pendleton last September and placed under arrest on suspicion that he was spy. At the time he was an enlisted man In the Third Oregon and serving as company cook. After being held in Jail for some time. Dolfen' examina tion was held before the Immigration Inspector, when he gave the false tes tlmony concerning himself which re suited In yesterday's indictment. In the meantime United States Attorney Rankin obtained proof that Dolfen Is nctlve of Italy and not a German, as he had represented himself to be. War laforaatloa Sought. At the hearing before Inspector Bon ham, Dan O'Mara, a new dealer, testi fied that In 1916 he became acquainted with Dolfen, who had represented to him that he bad com to thla country on th German steamer Bremen, land ing at New York. O'Mara further re lated that Dolfen and he became warm friends, Dolfen frequently entertaining h;m at dinner. A th friendship progressed the wit ness testified that Dolfen confided in him that ha was in the pay of th German Consul at Portland, and received pay every week, for giving to th Con sul Information that would be of value to the German, government should th Uiited States enter th war. On these occasion O'Mara said Dolfen cau tioned him not to tell any other person of what Dolfen had told him. During th trouble In Mexico, Dolfen went with a company of United States soldiers, a cook, and, upon his return, according to O'Mara, .said, b had ob-i tained "all he wanted." including "blue prints of Fort Rosencrans, the range of all the guns and their positions." Suspect Flunk With Money. "On the day following his return from Mexico, Dolfen told me that he was going to see the German Consul," testified O'Mara. "The following day I saw him and he flashed between J 200 and J250 in gold. Then next day I saw him again with the Consul and two other Germans. All this happened in 1916. At all times Dolfen seemed flush with money, which he spent lavishly in the grills and roadhouses. The United States Attorney's office has positive proof of the fact that Dol- fen's true name is Dal Bon, a native of Fetta, Italy, and that he came to the United States in March, 1911, on the steamship Dura di Genova, The immi gration records reveal that at that time Dolfen admitted his Italian nativity. In addition to this proof, two cousins of the Indicted man have told Mr. Ran kin that they knew their kinsman when he was living In Italy. United States Attorney Rankin is strongly of the belief that Dal Bon after coming to the United States in 1911 was for some time in the paid. employ of the German consular service and adopted the alias of Dolfen during his operations.- Kfforts to establish his guilt of violating the espionage act have not been abandoned by the Gov ernment officials. In the meantime, he will be prosecuted on the perjury in dictment. 1 E IS NDGTED v.sv-oer. or AGRicyvruRe HO ow SNAP BEAMS. USH and pole beans are among the most valuable and dependable crops of the garden. "When in doubt what to plant plant beans." Beans thrive best in a rather warm, sandy loam, but may be grown on al most any kind of soil. For the best re sults the soil should not be too rich In 'nitrogenous matter or the plants will un to foliage and stems at the expense of the crop. Beans will not withstand frost and the first plantings in the Spring should not be made until about two weeks after the average date of the last killing frost. The soil should be In good condition and the rows should be laid out perfectly straight, so as to make cultivation easy. One pint of the seed of most varieties of snap beanB is sufficient for a 100-foot row. When the cultivation Is to be done by horse, the rows should be from SO to 16 inohes apart.' When hand cut3 Tlvatlon Is to be employed the rows should ba from IS to 21 Inches apart. It requires from 40 to 60 days for snap beans to ba ready for use If the weather conditions are favorable. Successive plantings of string beans should be made at intervals of 10 days to two week throughout th growing season, By following this scheme a constant supply of tender beans will be assured. U, 8.

Brune, proprietor of the Aus tralian Hotel and convicted bootleg ger, whose automobile ran down and killed Miss Geraldine Alderson, daugh ter of County School Superintendent Alderson. on the night of February la, was indicted for manslaughter in a report "submitted yesterday by the Multnomah County grand Jury. His bail was placed at $5000, which he was unable to furnish. It is alleged he was partly Intoxicated at the time of the tragedy, as a quantity of liquor was found in his machine when he was placed under arrest. Irl B. Lyons, formerly of Silverton, but now of Seattle, who caused the death of 4-year-old Emma Louise Graham, of Dallas, February 5, when his machine collided with the Oregon Hotel bus, was likewise indicted for manslaughter In the grand Jury's re port. His bail was placed at 11500, which he has already furnished. As a result of the alleged "badger game" in which Harry L. Henderson and his wife, Ethel Henderson, mulcted William Tyler out of $15,000.

His wife is alrcadj- under In dictment on a statutory charg-e, grow ing out of her alleged relations with Tyler.

B. Schnitzer, S. Caplan and II. Chass- man were indicted for receiving stolen goods, and Veatta Matters was indicted for an alleged criminal assault on his own sister. In a special report; the grand jury criticised the methods now in vogue at the Frazer Detention Home, where the children are now given but a half-day of schooling. "The most pressing necessity for tho home at the present time is to have school sessions all day Instead of half days," reads the report. "These unfor tunate children are already handi capped for life work, and every pos- ' sible advantage should be given in the short time many of them will have for school attendance. The boys' gymna sium is unsatisfactory. It is suggested that this be properly fitted for . gym nasium and a portion might be set apart for manual training work. A small equipment for this work could be installed at little expense, which would give employment fdr the boys. thus supplying instruction and keeping1 idle hands busy." eThe other county institutions were visited by the Jurors and all were found to be in good condition. Suggestions as to minor improvements of buildings and enlargements are made, but the conduct of each of the other institu tions Is praised.
