CARPENTERS
MAY AFFILIATE

c. r. Case, formerly president OF
the State Federation of Labor, WIS.,
tied Carpenters union No. SO last
night. Mr.. Case is going over the
state, his principal object being
to bring to the attention Of local
unions the necessity for their be-
ing affiliated with the state organi.
cation.
The carpenters decided last night
to call a special meeting Nov. 20
to consider the matter of affiliating
with the federation and will give
the matter careful attention.
The state federation is the only
state labor organization which de-
votes its energies to securing ia
vorable legislation for the working
men. 1t does not confine its en-
ergies to the organizer worker, but
tries to secure laws that will pro-
tect all labor from impositions OF
capital. One law that the federa-
ton has worked for in season and
out is the liability law. 1t is
sought to fix the liability of en-
ployers for death or manning OF
employees when carelessness has
been shown, and to bring the value
of a human life above par with that
of a horse. Every session of the
legislature the desired liability
bills have been defeated. and Mrt
Case says the only hope labor has,
of ever securing a square deal in
legislative matters will be by the
adoptio nof the initiative and refer
endum amendment to the state
constitution. when the working peo-
the state the business of their de-
mands.
Mr.. Case will attend the meeting
of the Central Labor union next
Monday night.

PRATT WON'T Be BURIED

That the proposed new ordinance
doing away with the slot machine
will not be sidetracked in the com
mittee of the whole to which all
"undesira ble' legislation of the city
is consigned, is the statement of
Pres. Pratt of the council, father OF
the proposed ordinance.
THE proposition to allow the
machine to be used and assess a
monthly fine for places 50 using
them. does not appeal to me-" said
Pratt. 81 understand there is talk
of putting the matter on file indef-
initely, but | shall not allow it,"
Just how ii is proposed to carry
out this fine proposition, should
Pratt's arguments be overcome, is
unknown. There is state law pro
hibiting slot machines, but the
county and city officials disregard
it. The city cannot license them
for the reason that the state pro-
hibits their use.
1t might be added that officials
who have not enforced the slot ma
chine law are guilty of a misde.
meanor and subject to a fine under
this same law.

Navy NEEDS
RELIEF

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. "a
The general unpreparedness of the
United States for war, its depen-
dence upon foreign manufacturers
for war material and serious de-
fects in armament and equipment
of battleships was exposed in the
annual report of Rear Admiral n.
T.. Mason, chief of the naval bureau
of ordinance, published today.
The admiral regards it as abso-
Mtely necessary that congress
should authorize the secretary of
navy to make purchases of supplies
of war material abroad while home
manufacturers are completing
present contracts. The navy will
have to have at least 100 more
torpedoes while home manufac-
turers are completing present con-
tracts, and if these are procured it
must be aboard.
1t also may be necessary to get
certain amount of armour pierre
ing projectiles and range finders
abroad. The rifles and machine
guns Of the navy are reported to
be rapidly wearing out.

house check was presented to the

Power Monopoly Spirit Shown Up
in Hamilton St. Incident.

Clearing house checks of small
est denomination won't pass as
money on a w. w. p. street car,
Notwithstanding the fact that this
company, from its connection with
the Spokane Eastern Trust Co.
bank, is most directly interested
in maintaining the integrity of the
clearing house currency. The w.
w. p. must have the money on the
cars, which is probably good
thing for the bank, but sometimes
an inconvenience on the part of
the public which happens to have
nothing handy but the paper
money.
The Traction Co. is working on
the broader policy, however, of &C.
cepting the paper the bankers call
money as money even when tender.
ed for streetcar fare.
This fact was conclusively proven
