How to stop it is often mystery, particularly

DO NOT ENDORSE
STATE-TAX BILL.

The meeting OF the real estate ex-
change held yesterday afternoon was
Il somewhat exciting affair. The
meeting was held to determine IL the
exchange should endorse certain ac-
tion now pending in the legislature.
The sentiment of the exchange was
about evenly divided on the question.
II was decided not TO endorse the
bill in the state senate providing for
a tax of $50 year on real estate
offices. There was II division OF opin-
ion among the members present con-
corning the meaning of the bill.
Some held that the tax must be
paid for every member and employee
OF the office. while others maintained
that II only applied to the office col
lectively.
The house bill making IL mis-
demeanor to offer for sale any prop
erty without the written consent OF
the owner was declared unnecessary
legislation.
In view of the present immigration
a discussion was held as to whether
real estate men should pay the eX-
penses of prospective customers
when showing thea around.

CHICAGO. Feb. 1S.-Judge Gross
cup in the circuit court this morning
granted temporary injunction
against the beef trust merger and
dismissed the demurrer made by the
packers attorneys.
This virtually restraints the packers
from completing the trust
The big packers of the country, in

developments clearly showed that
they contemplated Il merger on a
large scale with either Armour or
Swift as president Of the trust

concerning the operations of the

County Commissioners
May Bury Body of
Unfortunate.
INDIGNATION AROUSED.
Many Believe Undertaken Has
Done Wrong In Not Giving
Heed to Rights of Dead.
INDIGNATION AROUSED.

The body of w. NJ. Herbert is still
unburied. No effort is being made
to consign it to grave. although
public indignation has been aroused
over the unchristian act OF keeping
1t above ground.
The fact that Herbert was a man
of dissolute habits does not justify
the treatment which the body has re-
ceived for two years. Many express
themselves as deeply incensed over
the facts brought to light by The
Press and believe that those who are
responsible for 1t should be compelled
to make amends.
Since the relatives in England have
declined to pay the funeral expenses.
the question which presents itself is
simply this:
Has the undertaken any right to
hold the body, and. il he has, is he
not bound to treat it with respect?
There will probably be no difficulty
in having the remains buried. The
county is obliged to pay the expenses
in case of II person dying in destitu-
tion. This is the law, but the county
commissioners Of Spokane say they
have never yet been officially notified
of the Herbert AFFAIR.
AS soon as they are requested TO
bury the body they state they will
not hesitate to act. Il. II. Melvin
stated this morning that he would
consult the prosecuting attorney on
the case to see what can be done in
the matter.

Traynor and James Sheean were also
arrested.
Riddell had real estate Office
above the Warwick and claimed that
he cashed the draft for the three men.
Traynor and Sheean were released
on the preliminary examination. They
have been arrested in Portland on a
similar charge. Harry Gordon was
discharged by the superior court.
Riddell was convicted as he had pos
session of the draft and circum-
stances tended to show that he had
a knowledge of its origin.

DANGER TO UNIONS
IN incorporating

"All sorts of suits would be
brought against labor unions. Suits
for real grievances and imaginary
ones. A judgment rendered against
a corporation and remaining unpaid
would call for receiver or a petition
in bankruptcy.
'In this way employers could easily
destroy labor organizations. The
trick is at once apparent"
E. S. Potts of the trades council,
believes that an attempt to promote
the movement in Spokane will be dis
countenanced.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1903-02-18

The incorporation of trades unions
will in all probability not materialize
in Spokane. The example of the labor
bodies in Portland does not meet with
favor here.
The American Federation of Labor
has taken the subject under consid-
Grafton, although Clarence Darrow
sounds the following note of warn
ing:
that could keep out of the hands of
a court for one year if it ever con-
scented to become incorporated.
