A FELLOW MDIANIAN
 OPPOSES BEVFRIDGF
The Newburs Qnd.) Leader Hopes
 Arizona May be Free.

recent copy of the Newburg Qn- diana) Leader has just been received containing the. advertisement of Pecka Brothers, of this city, as realty loan agents. Newburg is their old home, and they are telling their neighbors about this country, all of which is well, and it is hoped will prove mutually profitable to all concerned. But the chief item of interest for Arizonians is little editorial which indicates how at least one Indiana paper feels about the pet measure of her most notable senator. The Leader says:
 'We have received a number of cop ies of newspapers and a finely printed booklet on the Salt River valley, Ari- zona, from Pecka Brothers, Phoenix, Ariz. We most sincerely nope that the people of Arizona eff the infamous bill of Beveridge, Cannon and their CO., horts should pass, uniting Arizona and New Mexico as one state) will ignore the action of congress and refuse to organize a state government. Better stay out as a territory forever than to erect a state under such conditions as the political clique are determined to force upon a free people. No congress has the power to create a territory into a state without the consent of the people. Could political trickery go fur ther in an attempt to set aside the will of the people? Even Lord North, un- der George III. in the stamp act, was not so arrogant as the authors of the omnibus statehood bill"

FIND LITTLE IKE

A worried mother called up the
police station this morning ana
exclaimed to Sergeant Sullivan:
1--WE lost little Ike"
who's Ike?"
my boy-he hasn't been home
all night
She said she was Mrs. Quick,
living at 0819 Monroe ST., and that
her 10 year old boy, Isaac, had
been away a part Of yesterday and
all night.
Just before noon Patrolman Tom
Lister, who is stationed at the
Northern Pacific depot, was called
into the Cottage hotel, corner
Brown st. and Sprague av., and
told a strange boy had been left
there yesterday by an intoxicated
man, who, after registering for a
room in a handwriting which an
expert could not decipher, left,
leaving the boy behind.
1t turned otu to be Isaac, who
wanted very much to be taken
home. The officer took him to
headquarters and notified the
mother. who came for him.

is by these methods that the own.
ers Of the local laundries have
been able to coin the blood of
many poor women OF Spkane into
dollars.
The laundry wrkers are unor-
gained and the conditions under
which they are compelled to work
are cited by union leaders as fair
samples of what the condition of

In destroying the local unions.
The conditions under which the
laundry workers are compelled to
labor degrade the women who are
trying to earn an honest livelihood.
No attempt has been made to
organize employees of local laun-
dries, union men preferring to wait
until the men and women con-
cer,ed could not bear the condi-
tons imposed upon them any
longer, as an object lesson in
whether or not the labor unions
are not beneficial or necessary.

DECLARES CONTRACTS
OBTAINED BY FRAUD

The Osborn Conservatory of
Music" located in the Mohawk
building, is in hot water and is
likely to get into court over a
number of contracts made for Civ.
ing music lessons. In signed state
ments presented the school au-
thorities it is alleged that this con-
Germ is securing contracts by mis-
representations which it refuses to
correct when the customer learns
the truth.
The scheme as outlined to Su-
perintendent Tormey by patrons of
the Lincoln and Hawthorne
schools Is worked by an agent rep
resenting that the conservatory
has arranged to teach music in
connection with the public school
course. 1t is also claimed that the
terms explained by the agent did
not correspond to the contract
which the complainants alleged
they signed under the impression
that it was part of the school in
struction and therefore all right.
Signers paid 81 down and agreed
to pay at the rate of 80 cents a
week until 40 lessons were taken.
They were given a mandolin in
advance.
Superintendent Tormey and
other school officers emphatically
denied that the scheme had the en-.
dorsement of the schools, ana
trouble began to brew right away.
Many people repudiated their
contracts, or tried to, but were in
formed that they would have to
pay whether they took the lessons
or not, according to the contract.
The School Masters guild has
taken the matter up and suits will
be brought if the company tries to
enforce it's contracts, which the
signers are ready to testify were

Few people realzie the deplor-
able condition of the local laundry
workers. While the laundries are
building new blocks and otherwise
improving their plants the people
who produce this prosperity are
inreallty worse than slaves. This
Is no idle statement; It Is an alb.
solute fact. The hours worked by
the employees of the local laundries
are long at the best, but the own
ers of the various plants by evad-
ing state law compel the women
to work overtime without pay. The
women engaged In laundry work
receive from $120 to $1.40 per day
of 10 hours. If the clothes are
not ready and 1t is necessary to
work overtime they are laid OFF
in the morning and compelled to
work until late at night.
If woman leaves the employ
of any of the laundries and applies
for work in another, she Is refused
work until she has been investi-
gated and is told to call around
in few days. II 1t Is found that
she has expressed herself at any

The 10000 club Headquarters
this morning were moved into the
unfinished Offices on the ground
floor Of the Rookery building,
where reports Of the success of the
committeeman will be telephoned

those in the work are numbered
bankers, merchants, physicians,
clerks and wage earners in almoss
all walks of life.
About 20 members Of the 10000
club spoke in behalf Of the Young
Mems Christian association In the
churches Of the city yesterday
They outlined the plan whereby II
is believed possible to secure the
money needed to complete the new
home of the association In this
city. The fact that the new build
ing might not be completed has
stirred the 1000 club to action,
as well as the interest of many OF
the members were in the work be-
ing done by the Y. M. C. A. for the
young men of the city.

NO TROUBLE TODAY

At the Washington Water Power
building this morning the various
unions we're at work as usual. 1t
ia believed that no further trouble
will ensue over the stand taken by
the plumbers over the kind OF
plumbing being installed in the
Turner building Members of the
interested unions claim that the
plumbers have a right to appeal to
the city council and the courts If
the plumbing is unsanitary, as
claimed, and under these circum-
stances it is unnecessary that
other unions should be embroiled
in a matter in which the scale OF
wages and hours of work are not
involved.

CHICAGO Man
WANTS The JOB

Mayor Daggett this morning re-
ceived a letter from Perry L. He'd
rick, c. E., of Chicago, in which he
asks that he be given the job of
drafting the city's proposed new
plumbing ordinance and making
the inspection on the Turner build
ing. Mr.. Hedrick says he drew
up Chicago's plumbing and drain
age codes and was In consultation
on the Cleveland, O., code; for
three years he has been chief sani-
tary inspector Of Chicago. which
includes plumbing inspector. He
expects to come West for his vaca-
ton and would like to stop off and
figure with Spokane's problem. He
incloses with his letter a circular

papers refer to him as "One Of the

1t is believed that about 700 peo-
pie were taken in by the represen-
tations made concerning the en-
dorsement of the public schools.
The school board nor faculty know
nothing of the conservatory
scheme.
The following statement, signed
by Mrs. w. E. Osborn, tells the
story Of the complaints made:
