Walla believe this action is right and
Just. and while we do not want to do
that might interfere with the
in completing work they
have in hand. we feel that it is our
duty to enter protest against the long
hours The state law provides for
eight hours labor on all public work.
There is sufficient help in the city and
the contrac tors need not fear that they
can not complete their contracts on
time by adhering to the nine hour sys-
tenn. which has been in vogue general
ly since the ordinance was passed by
the council. Formerly the laboring
men were compelled to perform ten
hours labor each working day. but
since the council made nine hours the
legal length for work. as much has
been accomplished by the laborers in
that length Of time as was done under
the former system"
The resolution calling the councils
to the complaint was passed
at the meeting of the local union held
Sunday evening and was signed last
night by the secretary and president
or the union.

The furry on wheat on Chicago
change has gone to the heads of Wash
ingtOn farmers and they are holding on
to their wheat for dear life the last
few days. According to local buyers
yesterday and today only enough
wheat is being sold by the farmers to
meet their obligations and they are
holding the rest expecting a big price
The reason that dollar wheat in east
ern markets now means a better price
than 20 cents for them although some
bluestem has changed hands at that
price here this week and club at Ga
cents. Tuesday was a pretty good day,
100000 bushels having changed hands
Since then there has been little doing

MEN ARE FORCED TO WORK TEN HOURS

Claiming that certain persons. who
have contracts for doing city work,
are compelling their employees to put
in 10 hours labor each day. and enter
ing vigorous protest against such
action. the American Federation of La
Dor union No. 11,715 of this city, has
adopted resolutions which will be pre-
scented to the city council at it's meet
ing tonight
After setting out that the city has on
it's books an ordinance providing that
nine hours shall constitute a Gays
labor on all public work within the
limits of the city, and citing the state
law making eight hours a days labor,
the resolutions recite that certain con-
tractors in Walla Walla are compelling
their employees to put in full ten hours,
thus violating the provisions of the
city ordinance and the state law as
well. Not only are the contractors do
ing this but are securing help from a
number of local employment agencies
thus forcing the laborers to pay a fee
to secure work. The union will ask
the city council to instruct the city at
torney to proceed against the contract
Crs and compel hem to comply with
Il y
the resolution that if the city does not
deem it advisable to take such action.
the union will take up the question
with the county attorney and endeavOr
to enforce the state law.
