TAKES
Up FIGHT

A. w. Jones, second vice presi-
dent of the State Federation of
Labor, addressed the Central Labor
union last night in regard to the
duty of the union men of the city
to register and to vote for condl-
dates for the legislature who will
support the Oregon initiative and
referendum laws. He is acting un-
der orders from the State Fedora
ton and will visit every union in
the city in the interests of the meas
ures advocated by that organiza-
ton.
Mr. Jones stated that the repub-
lican state conventions we're asked
TO pledge their candidates to favor
several reform laws such as the
eight-hour day for underground
workers and miners as well as the
initiative and referendum and d.
rect primary. The president Of the
State Federation received instruc-
lions at the last convention in this
state to place these laws before
both conventions for their approval
The republican convention turned
all laws advocated by the working
class down cold with the exception
of the direct primary. The demo-
cratic convention granted every de-
map5 of ahOr and tho farmers and
incorporated the reforms asked for
in their platforms.
The instructions OF Mr.. Jones IS
to place these facts squarely before
every working man in the city that
there may be no misunderstanding
on the part Of the people as to the
issues confronting them in this
state, which Mr.. Jones tersely stat
ed was the right of the people to
govern themselves,
