Mayor Harrison is in a closed con-
ference with the labor leaders, who
have expressed a willingness to meet
the packers but are indifferent. The
strikers stated that while the packers
claim they have the strike won, he
would learn the contrary to be true.
They would be willing to meet any
agency likely to promote peace. The
mayor admits his efforts to promote
peace have been a failure, and says he
has no further peace plans in view
but to take advantage of any further
opportunity to mediate.

department of commerce and labor,

STOP POLITICS
GO TO WORK

Immediately after the fire which
destroyed the Cold Storage market,
the Washington Liquor company,
Grote-Rankin's storerooms, a grocery
and a saloon this morning the bust
ness men of the city began to dis
cuss the question of fire protection.
They agreed that nothing but the
hardest kind of work by the fire de-
partment was responsible for saving
confagration which might have
swept the entire downtown district.
Then came a wild rumor that with
this last display Of inadequate pro-
lection the insurance companies
would move to cancel all policies. Al
though this rumor finally resolved it
self into a wild guess that such ac-
ton might be taken, it stirred up the
business men and Immediately a
movement was set on foot to have
a committee call at the council meet
Ing tonight and insist upon the i'm
mediate purchase Of additional fire
steamers pending some sort of a
settlement of the wild grab for rich
contracts in the buying of meters.
That the water was not at the high
est pressure is asserted by dozens
who were on the scene of the big fire
early this morning. This notwith-
standing 1t was at an hour when no
one was sprinkling and the pumps
were supposed to be going at a speed
sufficient to furnish 120 pounds of
pressure.
weymouth Don't Know.
Water Commissioner Weymouth
declares there was ssufficient press
ure, that there was 120 pounds at
the hydrants on Washington and
Riverside, but states also later that
he did not have a report as to how
much pressure there was.
Assistant Chief Joyce was COM
PEELED to put on all the engines at
once in order to secure water suf-
ficient to fight the fire, because there
was but As pounds pressure at 4:41
a. m,
1t wasn't a question of sprinkling
or of water meters this morning.
What was it?

Everything is quiet at the stock
yards district this morning.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1904-08-16

Quit playing politics. Quit trying
to force big contracts for the poll
ticians to handle. Quit jobbing the
people Of Spokane with water meter
talk. Buy more steamers and give US
something with which to fight these
| fires. Do it at once.
This will be the sum and substance
| of demands to be made upon the city
| council tonight by business men and
| property owners who have at last re-
belled against the factions in the city
| council and the city hall who are per-
hitting this splendid metropolis to go
down to a fiery death.
The demands are being formulated
| this afternoon in an effort to have
| business mems committee attend
the meeting of the city council to-
night and insist that the demands of
Chief Meyers for additional fire en-
gines be given precedence over all
other business. An effort Is being
made to call a meeting at the cham

formulate the plan Of action.
With another $4,000 fire to face
this morning, an insufficient number
| of steamers and a lack of water
pressure at the beginning, the bust
ness men of the city have at last
come to the conclusion that II is time
to interfere with the petty squabbling
over whether there shall be a billion
dollar reservoir and pumping system
added, with water meters for the
meter grating crowd, or sensible,
live plan for the protection of prop
erty.
More Fire Steamers.
Chief Myers asked for more fire
steamers a week ago. Since that
time the city council has been in the
throes of a political fight over
whether B. c. Riblet shall be APP
pointed engineer for the committee
chosen to prepare a plan of relief
The fire steamer request has been
pigeonholed. Meantime another block
of buildings sburns down and the en-
tire business district threatened.
