WALLACE, Idaho, July ?>.—The
Idaho State Council of Defense is
arranging a combine against the
Industrial Workers of the World.
They declare that they are threat
ening every industry in northern
Idaho. Circulars are said to have
been distributed decaring that the
I. W. W. was coining, that they
! would have their just part of the
j . arth and it is alleged that the
' schedule laid down in the circular
I for tlte hours of labor was six for
all workers in the mines and lum
ber camps;
OLYMPIA, July 3.—There is a
strons sentiment being worked up
by the employing classes against the
the I. W. W. One or two regiments
it is annoum ed are in eastern
Washington or will sent there im
mediately “to guard farms and in
dustrial plants against the 1. W.
\V.” Ho far there have been no
disorders at all reported but (be
industrialists demand bigger wages.
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 3.— .
The Financial Committee today I
finally reported the revenue bill to
the Senate although that bony has
already had several donates upon
fiscal questions while awaiting the
adjustment of the schedules by tli _-ir
committees.
The revenue bill taxes incomes as
low as a thousand dollars for un
married men and as low as two
thousand dollars for married men.
Higher incomes get off comparatite
lv light and as most of the heavily
incotned evade tin ir payments in a •
groat extent, it Is recognised that j
the greater receipts relatively will j
be from the smaller fry.
Excess profits, drinks, smokes, |
tea, coffee, sugar are to supply the I
principal amount.
Many senators are openly hostile j
to the bill as it now stands while 1
the public sentiment unquestionably j
endorses the declaration by several!
members of the Senate that it will i
hit the poor espeeialy hard and pro- i
I portionally much harder than the
rich.
It would be difficult to ronc. ive
how a measure could he devise I
which would throw the responsibi"
ity for payments upon the relatively
poor more effectively than does this
one. it practically compels all ar
tisans, and more highly paid labor
to pay a revenue from their waged
while the increased cost of living
wil scar from the tariff and the du
ti..; upon necessaries.

EAST ST. LOUIS, July 3.—The

noon. One bad outbreak occurred
this noon alter the lull from the
morning battles when the troops
had practically restored order.
This wras a smaller riot when a
small mob tired upon several negro
houses.
Twenty-seven bodies were recov

remains of whites. Many more

The governor refused to withdraw

Dr. Chaee who as territorial
Health Officer for this division just
returned from a trip on official
business in the Koyuk and admits
being impressed with the possibil
ities of that camp. That is not say
ing that things are busy there right
now. They are not but when the
lack of transportation which is res
ponsible for the inactivity will have
adjusted itself, conditions will im
prove. Of low grade dirt there
has been a sufficient discovery to
guarantee the life of this placer
camp for two years even if nothing
further is found than has now been
located. Rut without teams to haul
wood, and the mines being without
fuel, conditions are anything but
satisfactory at this time. 1 rom a

judge Seawall decided to throw out
ihe evidence of the prosecution in

an alleged conspiracy to terrorize
San Francisco. This is considered
a most important victory tor the
defense, but the court could not
very well do otherwise.
The extent of the conspiracy
shown is exemplified in the fact
that several of the letters shown
