METAL WORKERS
ARE UNITING

The central labor unions halls
and meeting time was thrown open
to delegates from the metal trades
last night, and the matter of affili.
ating under one head was earnestly
discussed. President Van Lear OF
the Machinists' International was
the principal speaker OF the even

At the presetn time only the
machinists and engineers are afIili.
ated, but 1t Is proposed that the
metal trades alliance win embody
the blacksmiths. boilcrmskers. pat.
ternmalSers and the moul.ers.
There will also be an iron trades
section.
1t is thought likely that the alli.
ance will be effected within the
next two weeks. Each delegate at
the meeting last night must report
back to his respective union before
that can be done.

LADIES KNEW OF SEATTLE
PLAN. YESTERDAY, BUT
THEY AID IT UNTIL TIME
s~FoR cA6NCH IN CONVENTION.

Everything was peaceful and Sc
rene on the surface among the suf-
ragets here yesterday. but never
theless an arsenal of sharp little
axes had been slowed away out of
sight for thed ay, TO be brought
forth at the Seattle convention.
Unless things are smoothed over
nicely in the meantime the fun will
begin with the report of the Gre
deEtials committee, and the Spo-
kane delegation will be in the thick
of 1t. Emma Smith DeVoe, now
president of the state association,
will lead the attacking forces
against the east of the mountain
delegation, the objest of which will
be to Gust Spokane representatives.
The motive for the ousting is the
fact that the Spokane suffragists
are opposed to the reelection Of
Mrs. DeVoe and Mrs. DeVoe is in
tent upon being reelected. She
has the west side forces lined up
so far as possible, on the plea that
the state headquarters will be re-
moved to the east side unless a
west side woman is elected.
The first heavy blow struck at
the Spokane delegation was the re-
turning of their per capital tax and
credentials on n technical ruling
that they were somehow disquali-
fed. What effect that had on the
Spokane members, who have been
foremost in the fight for suffrage,
would be hard to define, but they
hid all traces of It yesterday. and
Mrs. DeVoe moved among them as
II there were no symptoms of re-
bellion in the ranks. 1t was under
the eyes of distinguished eastern
visitors and the glory of the city
was at stake.
But all the while the Spokane
delegates were quietly preparing
ammunition for the coming strug-
gle and 1t is likely that the prelim-
mary skirmishes began on tho
train taht this morning left with
the national and Spokane delega-
tons on board.
The Spokane members were fort
flied with statements and reports
showing that they had complied
with all requirements for member
ship In the state suffrage organiza-
ton aud they were not at all fear
full of the coming fray.
May Arkwrlght Hutton of this
city Is the leader of the Spokane
forces, an those who know Mrs.
Hutton caf, imagine what 10 uLalv
to develop when the plan to sup
press Spokane is unfolded. Mrs.
DeVoe suspects Mrs. Hutton of de.
signs on the presidency, something
Mrs. Hutton denies, but It Is plain
that the Spokane idea does not run
TO Mrs. DeVoe as the ideal leader
OF the suffrage forces In this state.

BATH HOUSE LICENSES
REVOKED BY POLICE

The final step to confine the sale
OF liquor exclusively to saloons, as
Mayor Pratt promised the Royal
Arch a month ago to do, was taken
this morning when the wholesale
liquor licenses held by the Nichols
and Mrs. Rice's bath houses were
revoked. This action was taken by
the mayor and the board of city
commissioners following a hearing
OF charges made by the police. A
recommendation for revocation of
the licenses was made by Chief of
Police Sullivan.

first place to allow these bath
houses to sell liquor by taking out
a wholesale license" Chief Sulli-
