The Labor Day parade should carry
with Il a lesson to that class of persons
who seek to crush out organized labor
at any risk either to themselves or
to the public In the line Of yester-
days procession were TO be found men
who for years have been seeking to
better their position in life and the
position Of their fellow laborors who
are not so fortunate as themselves.
These men represented the actual body
Of the labor organizations which are
struggling so hard for what they be-
lieve to be right and just and fair.
Along with Them touching elbows,
marched the younger men, many OF
whom had Just become free" and
who in years to come viii prove an ac-
tive factor in the great struggle for
existence.
The very appearance of the march
ers showed Of what stuff they were
made. Sturdy of build. broad Of
chest, active of limb, they represent
ed bgdy Of men. the appearance Of
whom could not fail but to Impress
the most casual observer.
Respectfully yours.
Laborer.

/ would Ike to call the attention Of
the proper authorities to the conduct
of some OF the employees at the French
street station Of the p, B. & w. rail-
road. To say their conduct toward
passengers Is insulting is putting Il
mildly. Il IS actually revolving in
some Of the things they do. They cam
not give a person a civil answer to
questions they are there to answer,
and the answering Of which forms part
of their duty. They swear before
women and have even been heard to
swear at women. This, of course. was
when the women were by themselves
or without male companions They
would not dare to act that way when
the women We're accompanied by men.
This conduct is on the part Of the
higher officials at the station and not
confined solely to the lesser employees.
The men in charge are as guilty as any
OF their subordinates, and why 1t is
the railroad company tolerates them is
more than I can understand.
Respectfully yours,
Passenger.

THREATENS TO INCLUDE
ALL COAST STEAM CRAFT

Seattle, June 1.-THE lockout insti-
tuted by the sailors union, of San
Francisco. is spreading rapidly and
threatens to include every employee of
the steam crafts on the Coast, unless
an agreement is reached soon. At
this time the steamship workers are
becoming involved in San Francisco,
and while local steamers are not being
delayed the effects are being felt not
only here but in every city on the
sound. The lumber business is prob
ably crippled more than any other,
but shippers declare there is consider
able trouble in getting the supplies
which should be received from Cali
fornia.
The lockout was originally institut-
ed by sailors on steam schooners, who
demanded an increase of S. a month
in wages. Reports received from San
Francisco are to the effect that other
employees are becoming involved and
a number Of steamships as we'll as
schooners are tied up. Shippers are
hoping that the strike will be settled
before the lockout reaches here, but
admit that the matter is at such q
stage now that their troubles may
soon begin in earnest.

Washington, June 6.-By clever tao
tics Mr.. Bonynge, of Colorado, in
charge Of the naturalization bill, with
the assistance of friendly speaker,
caused the measure esta blishing q
bureau Of immigration and nat1rali-
cation throughout the United States

provides for q bureau of naturaliza-
tion at Washington, which shall fur
nish all blanks for use and keep rec
ord of all naturalizations. It requires
an applicant to file a petition ninety
days before it is acted upon by a court.
It prohibits any naturalization thirty
days before any general election. It
authorizes the United States district
attorney to appear and cross examine
applicants and witnesses. It adds the
additional qualifications that appli-
cants must be able, to speak English
before receiving final papers, and they
must swear that they intend to reside
permanently in the United States. It

Portland, Or, June 6.-Never in
the history of Oregon have the returns
from an election come in SO slowly and
go unsatisfactory as in the election
which occurred Monday. Even in the

been received, while from several dis
tricts, among these being Harvey and
Malheur counties, absolutely nothing
has been received
Gov. Chamberlain, the Democratic
candidate, has been reelected; Jona-
than Bourne, Jr. has secured the pop
ular Endorsement Of his candidacy for
United States senator from Oregon
w. G. Hawley, will represent the first
district of Oregon in congress-, and ex-
Congressman w. r. Ellis will return
to Washington from the Second dis
trict after an absence of eight years.
Woman suffrage has been defeated
by decisive vote.
The state legislature will consist OF
eighty-four Republicans and six Dem
ocrats, while with the exception of
governor the entire Republican state
ticket has been elected.

REPORT ON STATEHOOD
Will Be OPPOSED

Washington, June 4.-Conferees on
the statehood bill have signed report
covering all points in dispute, but ex-
ception was taken by the Democrats
to the agreement in relation to Ari-
zona and New Mexico. The vote was
unanimous in regard to the provisions
relating to the admission of Oklahoma
and Indian territory.
The exceptions taken by Senator
Patterson and Representative Neon,
the managers on the part Of the mi
nority, indicate that the agreement
may yet encounter shoals in the SEN
ate, where poll shows that without
Democratic votes the report cannot be
adopted. The opposition to the ad-
mission Of New Mexico and Arizona as
one state has been led from the first
by Senator Foraker. By the aid of q
few Republican votes and practically
the entire Democratic strength, he has
succeeded in preventing an agreement
on any measure that would not give
to the people of either territory the
right at special election to reject
joint statehood.
By the agreement just signed the
people of these territories can vote
separately on the question Of state
hood at the regular election on No
vember 8, at which time territorial
officers and officers of the proposed
new state are elected; and vote upon
the constitution, heretofore adopted,
is also to be had.

SAILORS LOCKED OUT
WAGE TROUBLE At SAN FRANCISCO
BECOMES ACUTE.
United Shipping and Transport
tat;on Association Defies the
Sailors Union-Consequences
Likely to be Far-Reaching and
May Spread to Other Classes.

San Francisco, June All work
on the water front ceased at II O'Clock
Yesterday morning. The United Ship
ping and Transportation Association
threw down the gauntlet to the sail
ors' union and through that body to
the water front federation by ordering
a lockout of all members of the feder-
alton.
What threatened to be the strike of
sailors against the owners of the steam
schooners has become lockout on the
part of all shipping. The big steam
ship companies have been directed not
to receive freight. The stevedores
have been discharged and not man
is at work.
In spite of the warming that had
been given, the news of the lockout
occasioned great surprise on the water
front. It was not believed the asso.
citation would go to such lengths at
this time, and the men were all at
work when the order was published.
At the Pacific Mail dock $50 steve
dores were engaged in loading the
Korea. As quickly as the order was
received they we're directed to quit
and return later for their pay. On the
Pacific Coast Steamship Company
wharf the same steps we're taken.
The owners of the steamships against
whom the demand was directed took
their vessels over to Oakland creek
and left them there.
The consequences of the lockout are
too far-reaching to be foreshadowed.
The order sent out by the association
simply directs that all steamship COM
panies shall cease handling freight un.
til further orders. This means that
the ships are to be left idle without
regard to the demands of commerce.
At this time, when every available
resource of the city is needed in hand.
ling the thousands of tons of freight
that must, come here for the rebuild.
ing Of the city, the situation could not
be graver.

DISTRUSTS COUNTY OFFICIALS
Denver Judge Takes Unusual Measures
in Election Fraud Cases.

Denver, June fudge John L.
Mullins, in the criminal division of
the district court, granted the petition
of the Honest Election League praying
for the calling of grand jury to in
,vestigate the frauds alleged to have
been perpetrated by Denver public
utility corporations in the interests of
certain franchises at the election held
on May Is.
District Attorney Stidger, Sheriff
Alexander and Coroner Robert P. Col
Inns are removed from Office so far az
the grand jury is concerned and other
men will be appointed in their stead.
The court expressed the belief that
the character of the testimony which
was offered during the hearing of the
petition was sufficient to convince any
court that the sheriff and the coroner
were not the proper persons to assist
In calling such jury, and that the
district attorney was not the proper
person to lay before the jury the mat.
tiers to be investigated.
The very nature of the testimony.
the court said, indicated that q bold
conspiracy had been entered into by
the corporation heads, who were like.
wise the heads Of the political party
with which the three officials were
closely related.
Judge Mullins was Of the opinion
also that the usefulness of the grand
jury would be increased with specia1
officers for the jury, whose attitude
toward the interests to be investigated
could not be questioned and who
would be absolutely unprejudiced one
way or the other.
