ARE
HOLDING OUT
Company Claims Victory But
Services is Bad

Despite the fact that the telegraph
companies claim their men are going
back to work all the time and that the
strike is over. the news service is
spasmodic and poor.
The companies are still claiming
that the men are going back to work
all the time and that they have men
enough to conduct all their business.
yet telegraph news comes slow and
even commercial messages are being
received and sent with great Irregular
ity. All messages are still being re-
ceived subject to delay and while the
conditions may have improved in other
parts of the country, locally the eff
fects are being felt almost as much as
ever.
Associated Press operators are still
standing pat on their demand and the
reports of that service are badly cur
tailed. Leased wires all over the coun-
try are still silent and there is little
betterment of a prospect inside of the
hext few days.
business they can handle but nearly
every message received has been de-
layed in being transmitted. Crop re-
ports and market quotations are scan
ty and business is still hampered by
the poor telegraph service.
Reports from the striking operators
in Chicago ard other large cities state
that the men are determined to hold
out for the fulfilment of every demand
and that the cry of mo arbitration
| is just as strong as ever. Many of
the striking operators, it is said, have
secured better jobs at much better
pay, and will not return to their key
boards even if the strike should be ad-
justed. The wages at any other bus
/ mess are much better and the work
rot so straining or confining.
In the meantime, while the strik-
ers and the companies are wrestling
over the problem of wages, hours and
other contentious, the public is get
/ ting extremely tired of the miserable
service and the sentiment for 4 settle
ment of the strike in some manner, is
growing stronger every day.

COAL PRICES
WILL ADVANCE
INCREASE IN WAGES SECURED
BY MINERS WILL MEAN LIFT
OF IS PER CENT.

Coal will advance in price from 10
30 per cent as a result of the opera
tors granting the demands of the MIN
ers for higher wages and shorter
hours.
The concession of the operators 10
tbe demand of the miners is the result
of a months conference. The average
advance in wages is 10 per cent the
miners now only being required u
work eight hour shifts, and the opera
tors will recognize the United Mime
workers of America. Coal dealers
profess to know little of the increase
and state that they do not know
when it will go into effect
The average increase in wages
granted by the adjustment OF DIM
o,,l+ias between the miners and oper-
ators is:
Engineers, so per cent.
F'iremen, 40 per cent.
All outside labor, 25 per cent
Dav men, drivers, Il per cent

borers, IA per cent
Common laborers about the mlleS'

NANNECH0R SINGS
FOR WALLULA
HAS TIME TO ENTERTAIN ClTl-
ZENS WHILE WAITING FOR
DELAYED TRAIN.

Ample time for rehearsal was given
fhe members OF the local MannechOr
en- route for the Sangerfest at Spo-
kane. They took the regular $3.50
train out of this city on the O. r. & n.
Wednesday light and were to have
made connections with the train for
Spokane about 12:3 80 at Wallula. But
if was not so ordered by the powers
that be. A landslide occurred at
Troutdale, and the train from Port
land to Spokane was 10 hours late.
There was nothing to be done but grin
and bear it. So they did.
The hours passed by, twas growing
late. The train didn't come. so they
waited. And the train didn't come, so
they waited still. Finally they waited
but they didn't wait still. 1t is said
thar each and every member of that
party was specially appointed kicker
And when they got through with the
railroad their opinions left nothing
unsaid.
Rut the nearby residents were gain
ers. They also sang as we'll as kicked
and they are quite as proficient IN
the one line as in the other. They
couldn't take part in the program at
Snokane and so they took their own
part at Wallula.
The train finally came, all right, af-
fer - hours of patient waiting. and
last night the Mannechor arrived IN
Snokane at the end of the first days
program.

Senator Lees Bill Passes.

For several years Brinkley anc Clarendon. like other prohibition towns of the state, have been infested With 2 lot of social scavengers, better de scribed as whiskey agents and solicit ors. In many instances the saloonist himself has been guilty of plying his dirty business in these prohibition dis tricts, thus tempting thoae who wouIc not otherwise buy the trouble breeding beverages. suffering from the practices of these whiskey agents the necessity of the bill introduced by Senator Lee was felt all over the state.
 The Senate has passed the Lee Bill. prohibiting the soliciting of e.rders for intoxicants in prohibition territory. The bill is tue most drastic ever framed in this state, and. it is claimed, will put an end to the sale of liquor ir prohibition territory. The bill makes the receipt of an order for liquor prima facie evidence that it was solic- ited and provides penalty for the person who solicited it. When orig inalIy introduced the bill was so framed that lt would have prevented news papers carrying whiskey advertise ments from circulating in prohibition territory. The bill was not intended to be so drastic as that. however, ano as soon as attention was called to 1t, the provision was so amended that il would not apply 10 newspapers. The measure prevents the soliciting oi orders by agents or b5 advertising matter.
