SEAM EN'T
MEASURE PASSED
Sailors Win More Freedom—Pas­
sengers Will Be Safer.
Washington, D. C.— The La Follette
substitute for the “ seamen’s servi­
tude” bill, so amended as not to affect
the treaty relations of the United
States until the President has had an
opportunity to readjust them, passed
the senate at the end of a debate that
was characterized by unusual proceed­
ings.
In the end the debate became a eu­
logy o f Andrew Furuseth, president of
the Seamen’s Union, who was lauded
as the man chiefly responsible for the
passage of the bill. Mr. Furuseth,
who sat in a senate gallery throughout
the debate, was declared by Senator
La Follette and Senator Williams to
have worked in Washington for many
years “ at seamen’s pay” to secure
legislation improving the working con­
ditions of his fellow sailors.
Senator Fletcher, chairman of the
sub-committee in charge of the pre­
paration of the seamen’s bill, declared
the measure as passed by the senate
would accomplish three important
shipping reforms, the giving o f great­
er freedom to seamen, the promotion
of greater safety at sea for passengers
and crew and the equalizing o f the
wage costs in operating vessels in for­
eign and domestic trade.
The La Follette substitute differed
in many respects from the original
bill which passed both houses o f con­
gress last winter, but which did not
meet with the approval of President
Taft. Its chief provisions would re­
quire improved working quarters and
working conditions on ships; increase
the requirements for safety appli­
ances and efficiency of sailors; release
sailors from some of the stringent
regulations that compel them to re­
main witli ships when in foreign ports
and direct the abrogation of any treat­
ies that prohibit the enforcement of
the provisions against foreign ships
coming into American ports.

Idaho Homesteader Shows Remark­
able Gain In 10 Years.
Caldwell, Idaho— An unique compe­
tition has just come to a close here in
connection with the Canyon County
fair. A local firm of hardware deal­
ers offered a valuable premium at the
fair to the homesteader under the gov­
ernment project who could show the
largest improvement on his filing from
the smallest beginning.
Out of a number of contestants, the
race has narrowed to three, John Jan-
son, Clark L. Roberts and S. M.
Burtt.
Mr. Janson filed in 1903 with a total
capital o f 11 cents, one span o f mules
and a wagon. Today his place is con­
servatively valued at $10,000. The
others show similar records.
Labor War Is Forgotten.
Trinidad, Colo. — Strikers and coal
operators, embroiled for a month in a
bitter labor war, joined hands in
efforts to rescue the miners entombed
at Dawson. N. M. Seventeen strikers
from Trinidad, Sopris and Starkville,
who before the strike were members
of the first-aid and helmet teams, vol­
unteered their services to their former
employers for rescue work at Dawson.
The 17, under the leadership o f the
superintendent o f one o f the mines
against which the strike is being con­
ducted, started for Dawson immedi­

Pick Own Fun, Girls Are Told.
Everett, Wash.—One hundred work­
ing girls were informed by Mrs. Flor­
ence Swanson, of Raymond, a member
of the State Industrial Welfare com­
mission, at a meeting held in Labor
Temple, that their moral character
was not a question for their employers
to interfere with, and not proper for
employers to concern themselves about.

sion is in keeping with the line of
argument advanced here previously
