A great boon to those who are
fighting against the ravages of tu-

sleeping cabinet, which insures
plenty of fresh air. At the same
time it protects the body of the
sleeper from drafts and exposure.
The device consists of two
frames. The outer frame is extern

There is a possibility that the
Ministerial alliance will be given
recognition after all by the Central
Labor union. The Machinists' asso-
citation last night sent a commun-
ication to the central body asking
why Rev. Hindley had been refused
a seat as a fraternal delegate and
requesting an early reply to their
communication The subject was
discussed briefly and was finally
disposed of by the central body ask
ing the Ministerial alliance to give
their delegate credentials and make
application just as any other or
ganization seeking admission would
do and that the credentials would
be acted upon in the ordinary man,
ner.
From what could be learned from
delegates last night there will be no
great opposition to the seating of a
clergyman in the central body.
Nearly all the unions want such
representation, as they claim the
ministers can do much to mould
public opinion.
"As matters stand now" said a
delegate today, "the only account
the public gets of any controversy
between labor and capital is in a
great many cases hostile to labor
and the clergy, from lack of in
formation are opposed to labor
when they should be most sym
pathetic.

CENTRAL LABOR
UNION

Practically every labor union OF
.e city was represented at the
.leeting of the central body last
light. On the motion of Mr.. Lundy,
f the electrical workers. a COM
.nittee was authorized to call upon
every one of the 40 unions of the
rity in appeal for assistance in col
lecting $500 to the turned into the
treasury of the City baseball league
at the end of their playing season
in case they play on fair grounds
and suffer deficiency thereby
This will tax each union s12 TO SIS.
The committee will report next
Monday night.
A strong talk was given by
Lundy regarding the attitude of the
w. W. P. Co. in its refusal TO ar
bitrate, in which he declared that
Manager Huntington was untruth'
full when he asserted that he would
meet committees from organized
labor. Lundy, with others, had
called several times to see him. and
in every instance, if not referred to
other parties had met with blunt
refusal.
]. H. Stevenson explained the
situation as being a fight of organ,
lied labor versus organized capital
saying that the strike committee
had made no further progress for
the reason that only about Is OF
them had entered into the fight in
the right spirit He asked the
delegates to wake up their unions
and get them in fighting trim, for
he declared, should they fail to win
this strike, union men of this city
will find the next 10 years to be
the hardest fighting that Spokane
has ever known.
Buoyant hopes are placed upor
the result of the mass meeting, the
time for which has not yet beer
set. Speakers who thoroughly un
derstand the local situation will en-
deavor to stir up a sentiment that
will compel the w. w. P. Co. to ar
bitrate its differences with organ
lied labor.

Shippers Took Light and Butcher

Seemed Inclined to Hold OFF for
Lower Prices = Little Life in Sheep
Market - Prices About Unchanged.

Chicago, Oct. 9.-Cattle-Today's
run was two-thirds rangers. Good ma
tives We're scarce while butcher stun
was plentiful. Light receipts did not
held about steady.
Liberal marketing of cattle and hogs
for several weeks has resulted in such
a fall in values that at last country
shippers have realized the folly of pill
ing Ossa on Pelion. Monday there was
Il marked cut in receipts but the sup
ply was not reduced any more than
the condition warranted. For several
Mondays offerings Of cattle have
reached nearly the 10000 notch, but
yesterday the run was limited to 2l,-
900, while the hog supply was reduced
to 5000. If this contraction had COM
menced u week ago country shippers
would have been saved big pile of
money, but there was the impatient
desire to rush the stuff to market to
save feed and only a calamity like
that which struck the trade last week
could effectually bring about the de-
sired result Very likely receipts will
be moderate all this week, but condi-
tons are such that they should be. All
the meat channels are badly choked,
and the outlet is not as broad as usual.
The financial scare is hurting the mar
ket some and causing buyers to oper-
ate more conservatively. Until the
storm blows over the best policy is to
go as slowly as possible.
Hogs.
There was more activity displayed
today, receipts being small and ship
pers taking light ard butcher hogs
quite freely. Packers We're inclined to
hold off for lower prices.
1t has become evident that owners OF
put away" hogs are going to get the
worst of 1t. There is not outlet for
stale stuff at better than going prices,
and packers attitude indicates that
they have no intention OF doing bet
ter.
Sheep.
Sheep We're slow and the market was
almost without life, receipts proving
too heavy for the needs of trade, altho
