"But I'm afraid, dearest, we shall not be able to afford a servant at first," he said, looking tenderly at her. "O. Harry, what ever will the neigh bors say when they see me doing my own work?"

The report of George P. West; and C. T. Chenery, who Investi gated the July, 1915, strike .of the Standard Oil Company employes at Bayonne, N. J., for the uniteu states Commission on Industrial Relations, was made public by Frank P. Walsh, chairman of the commission. The re port said, In part after stating that the strike was against the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey: "The company Is the most Import ant of the Standard Oil group, and this group is the principal contrioutor to the wealth, prestige and power 'of the largest estate In the country, If not in the world, that of John D. Rocke feller, Sr., and his immediate family. The facts regarding the company's labor policies must therefore, be re garded as of special significance be cause of the tremendous power wield ed by the group of men who control this industry and because of their an nounced intention to enter tne neia ot industrial relations with a view to widening their Influence and activity, propagating what they deem to be the nrnner . theories and principles that should govern the relations between employer and employe." The following linaings 01 iact, are to be considered in the light of the foregoing: , "The Standard Oil company, 01 new Jersey, although conducting an enor mously profitable enterprise, pays wages too low to maintain a family on a comfortable, healthful basis. "It fixes wages, not with relation to the earnings of the company, but by taking into consideration wages paid by other companies In the same locality and tnen nxing me wage as low or lower than the prevailing wage In that locality. In Bayonne it paid common laborers less than those ot two companies whose plants adjoin Its refineries. This is in direct con tradiction to the claims ot the com- nanv in a statement Issued at 26 Broadway that It has always pam me prevailing wage or better. The state ment of the general manager of the company that the interests or otner comnanles in the same locality are considered in the fixing of wages con stitutes in effect an admission mat the company combines with the poor est and least generous employers 10 fix the wage rate. "The company has instituted no ma chinery by which real or fancied grievances may be peacefully and promptly adjusted. The officials say that any man has access to the gen eral superintendent but the employes allege that they would be discharged before reaching the omce. "General Manager Glfford Is not believer in child-labor legislation, and on the other hand, thinks the children should be allowed to go to work earlier. He and Mr. Hennessy appar ently have little respect for the foreign-born men whose labor produces the company's earnings and are pro ponents of the extremely Individual istic and reactionary Industrial theor ies discarded by enlightened employ ers and by economists many years ago." The report then recited that the company employed a detective agency of New York City to furnish guards and strikebreakers. It quoted the at torney for the agency as referring to these men as "a lot of thugs." The In vestigators added: "Their appear ance amply justified his use of the term." "The strike was broken by Sheriff Eugene Klnkhead," the report Btated, who first overawed and disorganized the strikers by assaulting and arrest ing one of their leaders and then strengthened his control over them by promising to use his Influence to ob tain an increase In wages and by ar resting 80 of the armed guards."

The smsller local packers were interested bidders and each got some good cattle. Just before noon a load of fat steers of poor type were sold to a local packer at $6.05. Up to noon the majority of the purchases had been made by the Puget Sound and nearby packers, and nearly half of the stuff had been sold. The market was practically on a steer basis, as there were only a few cows offered and only three or four bulls. Most of the steers offered, however, were of killer quality and of weights, that killers require. While the market started out Bteady and most of the best stuff was sold before noon at prices which correspond with those of last week, the larger local packing interests are bidding lower.

Mule's Machinery Good. Olympia, Wash. Edward Kelly, a teamster at Vancouver, Wash., was given a blank to report to the Industrial Insurance commission on his injuries, resulting from his being kicked by a mule while in pursuit of his duties. The commission received the follow ing: "State part of the machinery on which accident occurred." Answer, "Hind part of a mule." - "Was the machinery in good " working order? Answer, "Yes."

Hopyard Reports Are Better. More favorable reports are coming in from the Oregon hopyards. The warmer weather, in combination with the vigorous spraying operations, has at last got the better of the lice. The yards are by no means clean as yet but good progress Is being made toward that goal, and if the weather only continues right there will be little to fear from mold.

Thoae- indicted were: George T. Arnold, president of the company; William H. Hull, vice president and general manager; W. C. Steele, secretary-treasurer; Bay W. Davis, assistant secretary-treasurer; Harry Pedersen, captain; Joseph M. Erickson, engineer. Bonds were fixed at $20,000 each for the company officials and $10,00 each for Pedersen and Erickson. - The two last named are charged with criminal carelessness, and the . officials with manslaughter. Separate bills were returnedagalnst the captain and the engineer, while the four officials were named in a joint indictment. The bill against the offi cials contained five counts, charging; , 1. That they knew the Eastland was nnBeaworthy and had no stability. 2. That they permitted 2500 pass engers aboard the vessel, which is more than its carrying capacity. . 8..
