POLICE ARREST
SUSPECT

The police believe that they
have landed behind the bars dan
gerous criminal in Louis Casino, d
young Italian arrested Tuesday
night by Patrolman Daniels and
Merchants Police Long. He is
suspected of having robbed the
Nightingale saloon on Main av. a
few nights ago. The key to the
door lock was found on him.
A letter from one of his rela-
tives in New York was also found.
1t cautions the young man and ad-
vises him that one of the family
has been arrested in New York on
murder charge and there Is a
probability that the entire family
may be arrested. The letter gives
no further information. Casino re-
fuses to admit the burglary charge
or give any information about the
mysterious letter.

SEEKING PUBLICITY

After following a close mouthed
policy for years, the Pacific Tele-
phone & Telegraph Co. has con-
cluded to unbend and become
somewhat acquainted with the pub
lie through the medium of a press
agent. Mr. Brindley. a publicity ar
fist of San Francisco. has been ap-
pointed to the position. He is in
Spokane today.
The advent of a publicity agent
in the Sunset service foreshadows
change of policy that is probably
due to the noise created by the in
dependent companies now in the
field. The latter are in print when
ever there is an opportunity, while
the old company showed up only
when some irate subscriber voiced
his woes. That was often enough
TO suit anybody. but the company
has advanced TO the stage of real
izing the Disadvantage of this sort
of exclusive advertising. Now it is
going to let the public in on other
lines Of information it may care
10 give out.

RECORDS
BROKEN THIS
SESSION

OLYMPIA, March IA. - The
tenth session of the Washington
legislature, which loses today, Is a
record breaker in more ways than
one. 1t has spent the most money
and passed the greatest number of
bills in the states history. When
the total appropriation for this year
is compiled it will. in all prob
ability, exceed S6.000,000. or this
amount, $4,000 900 is from the
general fund. This exceeds the
general fund appropriation for last
session by about $1,250,00O.
While not all the bills passed by
both houses will be concurred in
and prepared for the governors
consideration today, the sum total
of the sessions work will amount
to about 240 measures. The legis-
lative record to this time was held
by the 1903 session, which passed
1S9 bills.

BOTH MACHINES
SLIP COG

The passage of the direct prim.
airy law with an emergency CLAUSE
attached came as an unpleasant
surprise to the machine politicians
of both parties who thought they
had been successful in sidetrack-
ing the law for this year. That the
democratic politicians never at any
time favored the direct primary has
been conclusively shown by their
attitude throughout the present
agitation for the law and their evil
dent chagrin in being compelled to
go before the people for their APP
prevail. Republicans are taking ad-
vantage of the actions of the city
hall democrats in regard to the
new law to show up what they
claim is the absolute disregard for
party platform pledges and party
president on the part of the aver
age democrat when the interests OF
the machine demanded that an OPP
posite course be pursued.
But the republicans are as deep
IN the mire themselves.
The Highbinders have little to
say now the law has passed. They
would rather the law had not been
made applicable to the coming cleo
ton, as they could then have
pointed with pride" to the broken
promises and pledges of the city
hall democrats and would have
been able to make considerable
more trouble for the machine il
Mayor Daggett and his followers
had been allowed to run the
primaries.

labor GETS A
LEMON THIS
SESSION

Every bill introduced into the
state legislature by the State Fed
GRAFTON of Labor has been defeated.
The eight hour day for female en-
ployes; eight hour day for miners
and underground workers: the bill
extending the right to recover
damages for death from an avoid
able accident or carelessness TO
parents. sisters or brothers where
dependent upon deceased for sup
portal were sidetracked. The
last bill has appeared before every
legislature for the last 10 years
and has always been beaten by the
corporations.
Local labor men are divided in
opinion as to whether the defeat
of all labor legislation will serve
as stimulus for the union men TO
get together and make a fight for
better treatment. They all admit
that this action IS necessary if they
are every going TO secure recognl-
ton from the Legislature. Some
claim that the adoption of the di-
rect primary will give them an op-
portunity to make nominations OF
men who are either labor union
men or friendly TO the working
class, and they will take full ad-
vantage of their new opportunity.
Other members of the local unions
take a pessimistic view of the flu
ture of labor as a factor in politics
and say the old machine politicians
will continue to rule in the future
as in the past.
The representatives from Spo-
kane county in the legislature din
very well for labor as regards sup
porting measures advocated by the
state federation. Brown. Graves,
Rosenhaupt and Scott voted
against postponement of labor le-
gislation known as house bill No.
260, while on house bill No. 266
Brown sidestepped, the other sena-
tors voting in favor Of the measure.

FOUNDRY FIGHT
STILL ON

representatives of the Iron
Moulders' union said today tina,
there had been no settlement OF
their differences with the National
Iron works, as reported in the
Chronicle, and the firm would re.
main on the unfair list of the Cen.
trail Labor union until 1t settled up
with their union. The fact that the
owners of the concern agreed to
hire union bricklayers. stone.
masons or other members Of the
building trades did not make the
moulding room union, and the
moulders would refuse to permit
the firm to be declared fair until
such "a time as their members
were employed by the company
They have been fighting for this
for the past three years.
The fact that the building trades
have handled the product OF the
non-union foundry of the National
Iron works has been a source OF
complaint on the part of the
moulders. 1t Is known they have
asked the Building Trades alliance
repeatedly to refuse to handle the
structural iron of the company, but
without success, The representa-.
tives of the union say they objec,
to any action on the part of other
unions or the publication of any ar.
ticle calculated give the general
public the impression that the Ma.
tional Iron works employed union
moulders.
