Fix LABOR PRICE
Radical Law About to Receive
tho Approval Of Oklahoma
Legislators.
GOVERNOR WILL SIGN IN
All Employers Must Report Profits to
State Officer, Who Will Name
Wages to Be Paid.


Guthrie, Okla, May 15.-The most
radical labor bill ever passed by a
state legislature will be laid before
Governor Haskell in a few days for
his approval, and it is believed that
he will sign it. Under the provisions
of the measure passed few days ago
by the senate and put through the
house Wednesday night by large ma
jority, wages will be based on the
profits of the employer, and the state
labor commissioner is given arbitrary
power to order an increase or decrease
of wages, as he may think the facts
warrant.
Must Make Reports.
All business concerns in the state
must make to him detailed reports of
earnings and expenses, and on these
he will base mis- decision as to the rate
of wages to be paid
The bill is now in conference, the
house having made several amend
ments to the senate's bill. They are
not of sufficient Importance, however,
to prevent the two houses getting to-
gether, and in all probability the bill
will reach the governor before the
week closes.

OFFICIAL SCHEDULE Is OUT
Diamond 10 Through Service Is to
Begin June II.

The Diamond 10 line will commence
operations this year June II, according
to the official orders which were re-
ceived by the local agent today. The
steamer Sidney has been running be
tween st. Louis and Burlington for
the last month, but it will probably be
sent to the dock while the other boats
are in the service. The Quincy will
make the first trip up the river, ar
irving here June 10. 1t will come down
again from st. Paul on the 23rd. The
st. Paul will come up on its first trip,
leaving st. Louis July 1. The two
boats will then follow each other-9at
intervals of four and five days.
The season will continue a week
longer this year than last, because it
is the belief of the management that
the weather will be suitable for river
traffic longer in the fall because of the
late coming of the summer.
