WORKERS WILL
CONCENTRATE EFFORTS
ON INDIVIDUAL FIRMS

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. .s.-The
labor unions of this city are contem-
plating a change in the bylaws of
their central body that will revolu-
tionize the workings of the unfair
list as applied to business firms and
individuals, who are unfair to orga-
nized labor. The. Portland Labor
Press describes the proposed change
in the following article: T.
'At the last meeting of the Central
Labor Council Delegates Gotshall Of
the Typographical Union and Noffke
Of the Painters introduced a resolu-
ton which, If adopted, will change
the entire mode of procedure in re-
gard to unfair firms. ~
3 This resolution is a Capitalization
Of the growing idea that organized Ia
Dor should concentrate. its effort on
one point-against one or two, or not
to exceed five firms or institutions and
fight them to finish Then as fast
as one enemy falls, il there is another,
turn the guns on that one. BY the
time half q dozen have been made
good others will see the folly OF
fighting and will come to terms" .ts:

NEW LORD MAYOR
N LONDON

London, Nov. Sir John Knill,
the new lord mayor of London. was
formally installed in Office today,
succeeding Sir George w. Truscott.
The procession of allegorical floats
and much of the other time-honored
pageantry associated for centuries
with the annual Lord Mayors
show" was abandoned by direction
of the incoming official, but the great
parade was none the less interesting
because of the innovation. The pa
geant was distinctly a military and
naval affair and was in happy ac-
cordance with the spirit Of the times.
The Scots Greys formed the escort,
and numerous line regiments also
marched in the procession. The vol
unteers from both branches of the
service were well represented, as
were the Royal Naval School at
Greenwich, the boy scouts, the War
spite training ship and the Royal
Naval Volunteer Reserves. Military
bands were interspersed at short in
tervals throughout the line
About the only reminder of the
gorgeous pageantry seen in former
years was the lord mayors carriage,
which was a dream in gold and en-
amel, and drawn by eight white
horses with outriders in scarlet liv-
cry. Lady Knill, wife of the lord
mayor, rode in separate carriage
and was attended by 16 maids of
honor, attired in white and silver.
Also occupying carriages in the pro-
cession were eight survivors of Bala-
clava, who were cheered enthusiastic
ally all along the line of march.
The new lord mayor is a Roman
Catholic and is a son of Sir Stuart
knill. who was lord mayor in 1898.
He is a member of the firm of John
Knill & Co.. whose landing wharves
are among the oldest on the Thames.
Sir John received his early education
at Beaumont college, Windsor, and
studied later in France and Ger
many He is a member of two of
the city comprehensive goldsmiths
and the plumbers.

Parsons, Kansas, has adopted the

Secretary of the Interior Ballinger
has made denial of the report that
he intended to run for the senate to
succeed Senator Piles of Washington.
Democrats of Spokane are reported
to be organizing to oppose the adop-
ton of the commission form of gov
eminent.
The Michigan Equal Suffrage asso-
citation will hold convention in
Grand Rapids this month to start a
campaign for the enfranchisement of
Michigan women.
GAINESVILLE will probably be the
first Wisconsin city to vote on the
question of adopting the commission
form of government.
Frank w. Mondell, who has been
congressman-at-large from Wyoming
since 1899, has been elected presi-
dent of the International Dry Farm
ing congress.
S. E. Prouty of Des Moines has
made formal announcement of his
candidacy for member of congress
for the Seventh Iowa district, now
filled by Representative J. A. T.
Hull.
Opposition among West Virginia
Republican leaders to the reelection
of Senator Scott appears to be fad
ing away, and the indications are
that he will be reelected when the
legislature meets in 1910.
Senator Aldrich will speak at the
dinner of the New York Chamber of
Commerce. November IS. He will
not make the proposed central bank
the chief burden of his remarks. but
will sketch the work which is done
by the Monetary Commission with
suhc differences as he may choose to
suggest.
The fate of the saloon in Alabama
for years to come will be decided at
the end of this month, when a vote is
to be taken on 2 constitutional
amendment placing prohibition in the
organic law of the state. While adj
hitting that there have been deser-
lions from the ranks, the prohibition
lists express confidence in their abil-
ity to carry the amendment and as
sert that they have made more than
enough converts from the opposition
70 offset the votes of those who have
gone to the other side
For many years Oregon had the
distinction of being the first state in
the Union to record it's vote on party
issues In a presidential year This
distinction ceased to exist at the last
general election in June when the
people of the state changed the time
of holding the general election from
June to November. Senator Bourne
has plan by which this prestige may
be regained and suggests that the
people of the state nominate the
presidential electors at the primaries
in October of the presidential year.
This. he says, would serve to show
to the nation at large the trend of
public sentiment.
