The Promise in Labor's Future After a two weeks session at Portland the| If it will be of any benefit to the fathers and American Federation of Labor has adjourned and its delegates have returned to their homes satisfied with the work performed. Well the may. For the 1923 convention sounded a ne note. One that has already met with the cordial approval of the county. It was a note of con- servatism, which adds a future confidence in the policy promulgated by the federation, at) times lacking in the past. It was truly a conser- vative gathering. And the impatience manifested with radicals was a distinctly bright spot in the proceedings. A review of the acts of the convention dis- closes that not only conservatism but wisdom ruled in many of the propositions brought before the assembly. The decision against the formation of a separate political party in connection with farmers or other elements or blocs is to be commended. Labor’s appeal and strength for its own welfare lie in this policy. So long as labor refuses to herd its members into a political organization for a purely selfish purpose it will ave the respect and support of the public. Public opinion is not favorable toward any organ ion seeking to control the political or the religious action of its members. These are things for individual deter- mination and so contemplated by those who founded the government, and by all of those who subsequently framed its laws. ‘As to the federation’s reaffirmation of its de- sire for a modification of the Volstead act, per- mitting the manufacture and sale of wines and beer, the matter is open to debate. However that the federation takes a stand on a question which most folks regard as finally determined and closed, it is even so entitled to have its wi respected. It is just as certain that the majority of members of organized labor are not in favor of a return of these beverages, as it is the fact that a majority of no other large organization of men and women would desire a return of drink. The most pleasing feature of the convention was its attitude toward the radical element of ita membership. At no point was radicalism tri- umphant. Rather was It overwhelmingly ou voted. On such matters as the one big union, rec- ognition of the Russian soviet, the unseating communistic delegates advocating revolutic movements, and other similar matters, the ¢ vention took prompt, positive and proper action. It was done with such heartiness and by such majority as to disclose no sympathy whatever with those who had wandered from the real aims and objects of organized American labor. , Industrial Denunciation of the Ku Klux K Workers of the World and the Facisti movement was no less strong than that against their own radicals. That organized labor takes this stand at once becomes a large element of strength in public opinion respecting these several organ izations and their activities. One declaration in the federation’s resolu- tions report will not meet with approval outside possibly of the federation itself, and that is the election of federal judges and the excusing of labor organizations from the operation of in- junctions. These questions are of long standing and controversial with organized labor strike at fundamentals in which the public has the larger interest which of course should be served. Or view of the injunction. It has been found useful at times to labor unions in their own behalf as It has been found useful and proper against unions on other occasions. However the deter mination of that particular matter is away in the future and there is no harm in labor express ing its opinion on the subject. The federation’s convention just closed may be set down as marking an ern in general labor affairs, lifting its cause by its acts, at once, into| present re a position of higher regard by the public and insuring a more willing and cordial support by employers than ever before in the past. There is some real light breaking in upon the relations of employed and employers that an gurs well for the future. The Curse of Drugs If there is one terrible lesson being brought home to the American: public through the pic- tures, let us all pray that it may be the effort now being put forth Mrs. Wallace Reid in her “Human Wrecka If this picture, now being shown in Casper one soul from torture, and the after results of narcotics it has served a great purpose. The normal and respectable contingent of so- ciety is little aware of the evils of the habit. They could for drink was open and frank in its sins. Drugs are secret.

While it is a shame to admit that dope is handled and used in this city every day, and the criminals who purvey it walk the streets un- | known to the local or federal authorities, yet |such is the fact. | In spite of the secrecy with which transac tions in narcotics are carried on, the local police officials have met with some success in remov-| ing many of the dastardly criminals engaged in the traffic, from the scene of their works of de- struction. The murderer, in comparison with the dealer in dope, becomes respectable. The victim is not tortured or made to suffer and pray for death, he is despatched quickly and his pain is of short | | duration.

Relief to Producers | | Rumors discrediting the operation of the fed- eral warehousing act of purely political origin are being widely circulated at this particular time. They may be set down as ninety-nine per cent false. This government activity is being con- |ducted with credit and functioning as was in- tended for the good of the farming element of our population, and all others desiring relief under its provisions. One of the rumors circulated was to the effect to issue rules and regulations governing the | storing of grain and other products in federally icensed warehouses. The fact of the matter is that rules and regulations for warehousing | grain under the federal act were issued by the department in 1919 and are still in force. It is pointed out that the department has nothing to do with the many state warehouse laws in exist- ence but it is felt that these malicious reports have had their effect in crippling activity under state statutes. The mind of the farmer again has been con-| | fused by reports that he is permitted urder the! | federal law to store his grain in cribs and gran- aries under his own control. It has been charged | that Secretary Wallace refused to grant this} phase of the law. That this is so is farthest from the fact The department promulgates rules 1d regulations governing the operation of fed- lly licensed warehouses but it has no auth- ority to change or modify in any way the pro- | visions of the act. Under the provision of the act an individual | farmer cannot secure a federal license for his {cribs and granaries when they are retained un-| der his own control. However, it does say that | | groups of farmers may organize a warehouse | |company and transfer the control of their cribs | |to the company and thus come under the law. The department is eager to advise with any groups of farmers may organize a warehouse ion. In sending out this information the depart- ment takes occasion to make plain the provis-| ions and advantages of the act. The principal} {advantage to farmers is that they are enabled | to borrow money on the warehouse receipts rep- resénting the products stored in the federally li ceipts depends upon the commodity and its | grade and upon the banker who is asked to make ' the loan. On grain and cotton bankers have been known to loan as much as 80 per cent of the cur- rent market value of the product. Briefly stated, the advantages to a farmer of storing his products in a federally licensed ware- house rather than on his farm are: as security for loans the warehouse receipt makes it pos. sible for the farmer to borrow on the loan value of his product rather than on his personal re- sponsibility; it gives him a larger amount of credit; it gives him a larger field of credit upon which to draw; it places his product in the| hands of the warehouseman who is presumed to know how to keep it from deteriorating; gener- ally he can obtain a lower insurance rate, and the placing of his product in a federally licensed warehouse means that he can get it on the mar- ket at any time regardless of weather or condi- pss of roads, The worst enemy of the farmer and of the warchouse act is he who endeavors to modify the ulations for federally licensed ware- |houses so as to create in the minds of bankers |and government financial agencies, such as the War Finance corporation, a doubt as to the alue of loans made on warehouse receipts. | There is not the least doubt that any move to permit farmers to store their products in cribs or granaries not having a federal license would | destroy absolutely the value of the warehouse }act, would seriously impair the usefulness of the |agricultural credits act, and would cause a loss of untold millions to the farmers who listened to this evil advice. Some idea of the growth of federal warehous- ing is obtained from the records which show that on April 1, 1921, there were only 56 ware jhouses licensed by the federal government to store grain, while on June 30, 1923, there were 231 federally licensed warehouses authorized to store grain. When the present administration came into power there were no warehouses having federal licenses with authority to store tobacco upon h loans were to be made on face of receipts. ay there are 51 federally licensed tobacco warehouses with a total city of 219, pounds. These are in additien to the hundreds of warehouses that are operated in various states under state warehousing acts, sed warehouses.

There was little opposition to the appropriation, but some of the mem- bers, including President Clark of the school board, were in favor of the club making a loan of the amount necessary to the team, re- quiring it eventually to reimburse the club by giving entertainments. The high school numbers among its students about 25 young huskies of more than average weight, who are eligible to try for places on the team, and while, owing to the late- ness of the start the team will be able to get this year, it is improb- able it will make much of a show- ing against more practiced teams, it will be able to get valuable experi- ence from the few games played that should make it a formidable outfit for any high school team to tackle at the beginning of the 1924 season, Saved From Death GLENROCK.—Only the extra- ordinary physical strength of Plin Clayton and the prompt aid ren- dered by Tom Anson prevented thy horrible death of Clayton, when his clothing caught in the machinery at the city pump house on Deer Creek. The machine ts a combination en- gine and pump, and while Clayton was leaning over to pour oll into one of the cups his coveralls sagged in front sufficiently to be caught in the powerful clutch. Instinctively realizing that he would be drawn into the cogs in a few seconds, he threw all his strength against the engine and with the ald of Anson. who grasped Clayton around the body and pulled with all his might. Clayton's coveralls were torn from his body and his life was saved. So close to death was Clayton that two ugly gashes were cut in his breast by the powerful gears. The wounds were closed with stitches and the injuries were not serious, but it was about as narrow an escape from death as could well be imagined. ——— Wreck Reminders | GLENROCK.—More reminders of the Burlington wreck of three weeks ago have been coming into Glenrock for several days in the form of mail that was taken from the mail car that went to the bottom of Cole creek. Among those who received letters that had been recovered were L. E. Chamberlain, superintendent of the Standard Oi! company’s Glenrock re. finery, who got a pay check that he It Happened In Wyoming Matters and Things, of State-Wide Interest, Wired in, Telephoned in, Written, Grape-Vined and Some of It Purloined. should have had fifteen days before; George Goff, who received a check for coal supplied to a Casper con- tractor, and the Glenrock Motor company. ‘The writing was con- siderably blurred but still legible and the stamps had been soaked off and the envelopes opened by the dissolu- tion of the gum. The postoffice department, which dried out the mail, accounted for its condition and lateness by stamping across each piece, “Salvaged from Burlington wreck near Casper, Wyo.” The Lost Returns SHERIDAN.—The search of 10 days for Jake Hall of Sheridan, who was believed to have been lost in the floods of two weeks ago, ceased when Mr. Hall drove into town. Mr. Hall, who was at the Coutant creek ranch beyond Prairie Dog creek, be- fore the flood, had ridden to Kirby, Mont., after some horses which had strayed from his ranch. All of the southern Montana telephone lines had been washed out, and because he was unable to communicate with his wife in Sheridan, he had no knowledge of the search being con ducted for him until he arrived in town. How the rumor arose that he had been lost in a river near his ranch, Mr. Hall is unable to explain. SSNS etn Parting Gift SHERIDAN.—Col. Charles A. Bar- low, commanding officer of United States Veterans’ Hospital No. 86, who has been transferred to Federal Park, Maryland, was presented an oll painting by the officers and per. sonnel of the hospital as a token of the esteem in which he is held here. The painting, a western scene by E. W. Gollings, Sheridan artist, was presented at impressive ceremonics by approximately 60 medical officers, nurses, aides, dieticians and mem- bers of the personnel. Replace Bridges SHERIDAN. — The temporary structure spanning the washout on the approach to the bridge across the north fork of Powder river was floated out by the high water of the middle of last week, C. R. Wood, district highway engineer has been notified. The highway department has con structed a temporary bridge across the stream about 1,000 feet west of the road and is putting traffic across that point on a detour. This is the only detour on the entire road, it is said. The bridge across the south fork of Crazy Woman creek has been completed, thus eliminating a dit ficult detour. On Tuesday night eight cars were stuck in the mud in the original detour all night. ‘The water was so high last week that Murphy creek ran five feet above the top of the temporary bridge put across it after the flood of the first week in October, The temporary bridge, however, was not damaged. Including rivers and canals, {t is estimated that no part of England is more than 15 miles from water fommunication. | save- art of the coffee mon: Hs spending by Bae his high is in ality coffee.
