HERE IS A Lemon

The California Fruit Growers ex-
change reports that although rail
road troubles in California have
somewhat subsidede, the shortage
on lemons and oranges has not
been relieved. The foreign, or
Massina lemon. is deteriorating to
such an extent that very few have
been imported
Lemons are now selling at mid
summer prices as the result, and it
is believed that by the time hot
weather arrives they will bring $40
per box to the whole sale house,
making the price to the consumer
more than cents per lemon. Con-
sequently the price of lemon drinks
may be advanced so per cent this
summer. Much of the fruit has
fallen from the trees, cutting this
seasons shipments short by at
least 1000 carloads.

LAUNDRY TRUST
COVERS Up

The local Laundry association is
reported to have destroyed its
books and records recently in or
der to be in a position to defeat
any attempt on the part of labor
organizations or government Of
ficials to prosecute the combna-
ton. The association, or trust as
1t is commonly known, is organized
for 2 distinct purposes. First. to
Keep down the wages of employees;
and secondly. to raise prices
charged for work to the limit. 1t
has succeeded in these laudable
purposes for several years past,
but the amount of publicity which
has been given the combination by
the press and the unions of the
city has resulted in the destruction
Of all discriminating evidence.
1t should not be taken from this
that the ring is broken and that the
mere destruction of its records has
destroyed the trust. Prices are the
same as of yore. and the wages aid
hours of employees are as lcE ana
as long as formerly.

A week ago tonight a woman
was fatally injured by falling from
box partition in the Old Crow sa-
loon. She died Tuesday,
Every influence lower Howard
st. could bring to bear has been
exerted to keep the matter quiet.
1t seems to have succeeded.

The police have nothing to say.
Whether the woman was knocked
off the partition by her drunken
companions or fell is not officially
announced. Why such proceed
ings were permitted seems to be a
small matter.
The ground is taken that the af-
fair happening in the Old Crow re-
sort was merely a piece of bad
luck. 1t might just as well have
happened in any of the other sa-
looms or low show places. And that
is true.

A number of replies have been
received by Thomas Maloney, presi-
dent of the Central Labor union,
in regard to the position Of can
didates on city ownership of a
lighting plant and the insertion of
an arbitration agreement in all pub
lie utility franchises.
The reply of c. Herbert Moore
is indefinite, as he sldesteps both
propositions. Mr.. Moore says:
81 will state that while | am ia
vorably inclined to the principles
involved in both of the propositions
you advance It is not possible for
me to give a direct positive answer
requested.
'lf | am elected mayor Of Spo-
kane 1t will he my duty as chief
execute to administer its affairs
with every possible view to public
economy and the general public
good. 1t will be my duty to hives
tigate every possible plan for the
economical administration, and I'M
der this head would come the need
of securing as complete a report
rs possible upon the desirabllity of
a municipal lighting plant. This
report should cover every point Of
interest, cost Of construction, cost
of operation, experiences of other
cities with municipal light plants,
comparison of our rates with other
cities, etc. If such report shows
that municipal lighting plant will
be a good business proposition and
save money to the taxpayer | will
be emphatically in favor of It.
Il am firm believer I'm arbitra-
ton as a plan for the settlement of
all important labor difficulties. The
plan Of attaching a compulsory ar
bitration clause to all franchises
may be able to accomplish this re-
suit, but 1t seems to me that it will
be exceedingly difficult to frame
such clause so as to bind both
employers and employees to com
pulsory arbitration. 1t would mani

without binding the other"
