Labor Is
Preparing
forFight
Will Not Confine Its Attack
to Steel Industry but Will
Attack Textile Packing
and Rubber Companies
Washington, Jan. 31. The Ameri
can Fedoratlon of Labor's proposed
fight against non-unionism will not bo
confined to the plants of the United
States Stoel corporation. The textile,
packing and rubber industries, It wus
learned here today, also will bo tar
gots upon which organized labor will
center Its fire for Increased pay and
recognition of union labor.
"In the majority of these indus
tries,' snld Frank Morrison, secretary
of the federation, thlB afternoon, "un
skilled laborers are paid absurdly
small amounts. We are sending out
a million copies of an appeal to work
ers to Join us In helping those now In
Industrial slavery."
The following statement on the plan
to unionize the unskilled workman
employed by the steel trust wns given
cut at the federation headquarters
here this afternoon:
"When the federation undertook to
organize the stoel workers It was giv
en out from trust sources that tho
company would not oppose organiza
tion. This assertion did not accord
with the previous policy of tho steel
trust, and consequently bore no mark
cf veracity."

Race Hash
Result of
the Mixing
Port Darwin, Aus Jan. 31. The
mixing of white people, Chinese and
aboriginals in tho less civilized por
tions of tho northern territory Is re
garded with serious eyes, owing to tho
fact that a piebald population Is
springing up In this sparsely popu
lated portion of the commonweal th.
Ono result of this state of affairs has
been a great difficulty In governing the
territory, owing to tho fart that tho
mixed population Is unsympathetic to
ward administration. There are 4000
white peoplo In all the vast torrltory,
a fair sprinkling of Chinese nnd thou
sands of blacks. In tho "outback"
portions, Chinese mate wltbr blacks,
and whites with black and Chinese.
Tho result hai been a large number of
half castes of various colors, who have
In turn nia'cd and produced a vnrie
gated progeny unlike anything ever
before seen u,on earth.

Mustard
Given the
Governor
i
House Passes Highway Weed
Bill over His Veto-They
Will Feel the Farmers'
Kick in Near Future
The sisymbrium altlslnum was
discussed by the house for two hours
today, following which that branch of
the legislature proceeded to shove it
down Governor West's throat. The
slsy , well, that thing mentioned
above, and there's really no need of
jmentionlng it again Is not the name
of a fireworks piece nor imitation of
.a rattler's hiss. It is the classical
name of tho Jim Hill mustard weed,
which is ono of the weeds nnd thistles
mentdoned in tho Mann bill, which was
passed over the governor's veto today
by a vote of 42 to 12.
It was field day In tho house for ac
tion on the left-over bills of last ses
sion, which wore vetoed by tho gover
nor, and agnln that gentleman got it
in the neck on both sides, too as
J tho Burgess senate bill, compelling
railroad agents to chalk up tho time of
trains, was also passed over the gov
ernor's veto by 37 to 9 votes,
j Then tho thirst for food overcame
the thirst for gubernatorial political
f blood, and tho house adjourned to 2
o'clock for noon luncheon, following
which It will resume action on half a
I dozen more bills that were vetoed by
, Governor West, which were reported
out this morning by the special com
mittee with recommendation for pas
sago. Of course, it Is only fair to state
that many members voted for the two
bills passed this morning because they
regarded them as having merit, but
the fact remains that tho others, in
cluding the BO-callod organization that
is after the governor's scalp, were ac
tuated solely by political motives. The
.defense put up for both vetoes by Hn
good, Reamcs and Iloman, Democrats
I nnd friends of the governor was
I weak and hopeless. They were up
against it, and knew it. And the de-
bates seemed absurdly long in view of
the fact that every member knew how
ho was going to vote before they be
gan. I Tho Mann bill makes it the duty of
any owner of land adjoining a public
(highway to keep the same free from
tho Russian thistle, tho Canadian
thistle, the sysm you know, the
oocklo burr audi tho silver salt bush.
Hagood, Howard, Pierce and several
others declared it was unjust and un
fair. "Most of my farmer friends
hero aro against this bill," snld Ha
good, "and If they dare break out of
jtho Republican corral they will defeat
Its passage."
I Governor West had vetoed this bill
on tho grounds that It threw on the
abutting property owner a burden that
should be borne by the entire coiiunu-nit.
There wns more of personal feeling
nnd politics in the passage of th
senate bill making it tho duty of all
local agents of railroads to bulletin
tho arrival and departure of trains.
