CARTER PRODS PINCH0T
Deolaree Hie Policy Responsible For
' Great Loss By Forest Fires.
, HELENA. Mont Senator Carter,
In discussing the charge of former
Forester Plnchot, that Senators Car
ter and Heyburn and Congressman
Mondell were "In effect fighting on
the side of the forest fires," said:
"Plnchot' policy la really responsi
ble for the appalling loss by fire In
Montana and Idaho this summer. He
drove the settlers ' and prospectors,
who were the real guards of the fed
eral forests, out of the country and
left the domain to the pranks of the
lightning and the negligence of the
campers. His patent leather forest
rangers could not meet a difficulty
which the old settlers overcame every
year."

reductions in existing rates. In many

schedule on shipments of less than
100 pounds, which constitutes by far
the greater bulk of express business
and In which the greater number of
shippers are directly interested.

COURT HOLDS CLOSED
SHOP TO BE ILLEGAL
NEW YORK. Supreme Court Jus
tice Goff has decided that striking for
a "closed shop" Is unlawful and grant
ed most of the terms of the sweeping
injunction asked for, restraining strik
ing cloakmakers from Interfering with
efforts of manufacturers to conduct
their business in their own way. Pick
eting and patrolling are Included in
the restraining order. The court de
clined, however, to enjoin strikers
from holding meetings, declaring that
their right of free expression of opin
ion could not be curtailed.
Tbe court was led to this decision
by what was regarded as proof that
the "primary purpose of the strike be
ing to drive nonunion employes out of
the trade, except on conditions of
joining one of the defunct unions, the
purpose was against public policy and
illegal."
