The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1905-09-07

1t was the writer's privilege some
days ago to accept an invitation to
visit A. P. Bateham's ranch at Mo
sier Driving one-half mile from
Mosier station, we reached the south
western corner of the ranch, touching
Moiser creek; then for mile and a
half we angled across the farm along a
beautiful road, overlooking at first
Mosier valley, and then the Columbia,
toward which most of the farm gently
slopes.
At the far end of the farm we cane
upon the dwelling, partially hidden
by luxuriant shade trees. AS we sat
on the long veranda of the bungalow,
toying with mine host's Havanas, with
the murmur of cool waters falling over
rocks reaching to our ears through
the walnut trees, there grew upon
me, not only the developed utility

SQUABBLE OVER MUSICIANS
Row Among chicago Labor Unions
VIII Interfere Greatly with
Mondays Parade.

CHICAGO, Sept. Prospects for holding
successful Labor Day parade received
another blow today, when the union musi-
clans informed the Chicago Federation of
Labor that they would withdraw from the
line Of march rather than play with men
who wore uniforms other than those
adopted by the Chicago Federation Of
Musicians.
The decision of the musicians threatens
to result not only in a lack of music. but
also in the withdrawal of a number of
trade organizations from the parade. The
Labor Day committee has decided that
only those musicians who wear the regula-
tion uniform or appear in citizens clothes
will be permitted to play. but the teamsters
and freight handlers have issued a defiance
to this ultimatum and have engaged bands
whose members wear non-union uniforms
A number of the teamsters and freight
handlers locals further declare that If
the bands they have engaged are refused
place in the parade they will not march
This will draw fully 1000 men from the
parade.

Mt Chicago.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-The spread of the
job printers strike to other cities is a pos
sibility following the arrival of James
Lynch of the International Typographical
union tomorrow. In conference here
President Lynch will talk over the situa-
ton it applies to Chicago and the whole
country with President Wright, j. c. Hard
ing and other Chicago leaders. After the
conference an order may be issued calling
out printers in several large cities where
the National Typothetae has shops
This action is counseled by some in order
to weaken the strength of the Chicago
Typothetate It is urged that with strikes
going on in other cities the Chicago Typo
thetae will be unable to get men to come
here to take positions.
The Typothetae convention will be held
at Niagara Falls next week. Some OF the
Typographical union officers believed they
should try to weaken o. employers posi-
tion by calling the men out before the en-
ployers gather at the convention and plan
concerted action.
