UN|ONW0RKERS
WANT To Be
SHOWN

Spokane union men are asking
numerous questions regarding the
Home Telephone company. They
want to know how the company
can be expected to keep its prom
lses to the city council if the com
pany's agreements with organized
labor were apparently only made
to be broken after the company
had attained its object and secured
a franchise. And they are begin
ming TO wonder whether the coun-
Gil is sincere in demanding COM
pliance with franchise agreements.
This is the proposition set out
by the unions:
In the conferences held at Port
land between representatives of
the electrical works and the Home
Telephone company, in an effort
to settle existing differences. C. E.
Sumner, who represented the
Home people, claimed he could not
answer for that company in Port
land. as he only held $1,000 worth
OF stock in the concern, producing
what he claimed was a list of the
stockholders to back up his asser-
tons. On the other hand he pro-
duced a list of what he claimed
were the stockholders of the EN-
pire Electric Construction company
and he showed that he was the
owner of $4,000 worth of stock in
that company. Mr.. Sumner. as has
been stated repeatedly, signed a
contract with the local unions that
he would employ only union men
in construction work in Spokane
and would work only union hours.
He claims in this city that he can
not keep his written contract with
the unions because he has let the
construction work to the Empire
Electric company, of which he is
believed to be owner. In Portland
he claims he cannot employ union
men and pay union wages because
he is interested in the Empire com.
pany and not in the Home COM
pany. In this city Mr. Sumner

| Ab0R'S FIRST BIG
BATTLE IN POLITICS


ROCKLAND, Me, Aug. 16.-Or-
ganized labor has signalized its en-
trance into politics by practically
centering it's battle on Congress
man Chas. E. Littlefield, republi-
can representative from the sec
ond Maine district in congress.
President Samuel Gompers, Of
the American Federation of La
Dor, will personally lead the labor
forces. Enlisted on the side OF
Littlefield, who is himself a power
full fighter, is all the influence of
the republican party. The issues
will be decided at the election Sept
y. 1t is the old Dingley district
and is normally about 5000 repubi-
can.
They will wage the contest to
the furtherest corners in the coun-
ties of Androscoggin and Sagda-
hoe and in Franklin, Knox, Lin
coin and Oxford, which comprise
the Littlefield district. The larg-
est cities are Rockford, Bath and
Auburn.
Labor men, if they should lose,
would not regard the fight as de-
cisive, because there are so many
districts in the country where the
industrial interests are much larg-
err and the chances of their success
far better than in Maine.
President Gompers will open the
attack on Littlefeld Aug. 49,, and
thereafter will speak in all the
larger towns in the district.
Speaker Cannon, who is himself
under the ban OF the federation, on
the charge that he held back bills
in the interest Of lator, will m1ke
number of speeches in Little
fields behalf. Secretary Taft. 1t
is reported, will enter the district

BUM QUALITIES
IN PRACTICAL
MANNER

The condition of John NJ. Bum,
who fell from the Inland Empire
company's Olive street bridge yes
terday afternoon, is not SO badly
hurt as was first reported DR.. F.
P. Witter, the attending physician
says that although the fall was a
bad one, Mr.. Bum is much better
this morning.
Mr.. Bum and some friends were
examining a bridge on account of
a damage suit which Mr.. Bum is
about to bring against the company
for client, when the attorneys
foot slipped and he plunged to the
rocks II feet below turning a com.
pleted somersault during the
descent and alighting upon his
head and shoulders.

AGENT
CRAFT

That an attempt to work a new
variation of the "book agent" graft
on the people of Spokane is being
made Is the opinion of Alfred
Dawson, of Franklin fats. He has
no personal interest in the matter,
but he has had correspondence
that tends to arouse his suspic-
ions. The correspondence came
ions. The correspondence is al
legged to have come from the Cree
publishing company, of Minneapo-
lis.
Mr.. Dawson gets letters from
this house, of the existence Of
which he had no previous knowl-
edge. The first letter, dated July
q, bore the rather astonishing in
formation that a draft for $40 had
been drawn on him on the Old Ma
tional bank of Spokane, that be-
ing the balance long past due and
uNiihduShl oli youl Coull dCl plSu-
ed in our favor for Irving's works
Mr.. Dawson declares he never
ordered Irving's works, never sign
ed any such contract and never
heard of the Cree concern. But
he did repudiate that draft as soon
as he could get to the bank.
The company was still communi-
cative, however, and on August Z
Mr.. Dawson was again Informed
that his contract shows a balance
due of $12 which if you will re-
NIT promptly with so cents addi-
tional, will bring you a receipt in
full for what you owe u.s." In ad-
dition to that alluring inducement
the company offers a number of
premiums.
Dawson says there may be a
mistake in addresses although he
is the only person of that name
at Franklin fats or in the city as
far as can be ascertained. The
thing smacks pretty strongly of

MONOGRAM. FAD

Monograms on lingerie parasOls
are modish things, but if the
votary of fashion would be entirely
up to date, she must have the
same crest which adorns her sta
tionery embroidered conspicuous
ly on one Of the panels. Mrs. Long
worth ordered three lingerie para
soils in Paris and each has the
combined Roosevelt and Long
worth crests in the finest of vines
and circles.
In Paris every woman may have
her own designs for lingerie waists
and hats and she can use her seal
for embellishments. Thus in honor
of the English translation of her
maiden name, which means a flow
ering field, Mrs. Longworth has
selected some variation of field
flowers-daisies, poppies and rag
ged robins with sprays of grass
for embroidering the round dozen
of lingerie waists which are now
being fashioned for her in Paris.
Lingerie waists will doubtless have
