There Is talk of creating the

Ernest r, Sargent may be taken

with a great deal of favor among
some of those prominent in the

"If the new mayor tries to force

to retrace. He said he finally sug-
gested the appointment of select
committee to make an inquiry, in
view of the fact that the finance
committee is so busily engaged in
calculating the cost of labor here
and abroad.
Gore insisted a select committee
could report within three weeks on
whether or not examples recently
shown in the senate regarding
where prices were raised between
manufacturer and consumer.
Carter denied this, saying such
an investigation would require two
years. He made a strong protec-
ton speech, and asserted the dem.

members should have learned for
themselves.

EUTERDAHL FOR
RALSTON'S SHOES

A movement is on foot to have
Mayor N. s. Pratt appoint Arvid
Reuterdahl city engineer in the
event that change is made. Reu-
terdahl is a bridge and hydraulic
engineer and served three years In
the city engineers Office until he
was somewhat summarily removed
some months ago by Engineer Raj
ston.
BY some It is said that Ralston
did not like the talk going around
to the effect that Reuterdahl was
the only man in the engineers Of
fee competent to draw plans for
concrete bridges, and rather than
lose any of the glory due the head
of the office in bridge work Reuter-
dahl was given his release.
Reuterdahl is at present on the
staff OF County Engineer Scott and
has just finished the draft of
plans for steel arch bridge at
Trent which the state highway
commissioner has accepted and
agreed to install as part of the
highway commissions work.
II is said that the Scandinavian
republicans supported Mayor
Pratt to a man and that in recog-
milton Of this friendship the APP
pointment of Reuterdahl would be
much appreciated.

In connection with the probable
appointment of Mr.. Sergeant as
third assistant to the corporation
counsel 1t is said that a resolution
has already been drawn to place
the matter before the council at It's

Sergeant resigned his post as

WASHINGTON, May 18.-Discus-
sion of whether high prices in this
country are caused by tariff or ex.
tortion of jobbers and retailers oc.
cupied the senate today. The dis
cussion arose in connection with
the resolution introduced by Gore
demanding that the committee in.
vestigate this condition.
Carter of Montana opposed the
resolution, suggesting the same
sort of investigation was already
provided in a pending amendment
to the tariff bill.
Aldrich suggested that the reso
luton be referred to the senate

proper that this committee should
deal with it, as such Investigation
would involve considerable time

in him were betrayed He sponged
his way through by borrowing here

for meals. When arrested last
night he had not one cent in his
pockets, yet police say he has been
going on this way right here in
Spokane for six months. Whether
he got money from these women
or what was his game the police do
not know.
A handsome little woman, with q

DREN DARK PLOTS OF LABOR
TO CONTROL LEGISLATION.

NEW YORK, May 18.-In bit
ter attack upon unionism, Presi-
dent James Van Cleave today
opened the convention of the Ma
tional Association of manufacture
ers. He defended the aggressive
policy pursued by it's officers in
conetst with labor leaders. Refer
ring to the sentences imposed on
the labor leaders, Mitchell, Comp
ers and Morrison, he said:
"We defeated them in Washing
ton Then the conspirators massed
forces at Chicago and attempted to
brighten the national republican
convention into sanctioning their
un-American propaganda.
with cunning engendered by a
quarter of century Of duplicity,
the labor leaders then transferred
their field to state legislatures. Let
me warn this association that un-
der the cloak of legislation for the
defense, or pretended defense, of
working women and children, in
sidious attempts will undoubtedly
be made by politicians Of trades
unions to get special favors for
their organizations"
Van Cleave favors an amend
ment providing a tariff board, as
suggested by the finance commit
tee of the senate. He referred to
the menace of permitting immi-
grants to become influenced by the
Federation of Labor, which DEGREES
its leaders to be above the laws"

PEELED to work all day In over

GET AFTER THE
ALLEY STABLE

Possibly when the present cpl
demic scare Is over the cow and

be ended. eManwhile the improve
ment will have cost dear in human
life, for the scarlet fever and other
contagious diseases resulting have
already registered death roll that
will stand for years against Spo-
kane's health record.
For the sins of the past the
health board must stand big
share of the blame, although badly
handicapped by lack of funds and
forces. AS a matter of fact, 1t has
long been an impossibility to get
premises and alleys cleaned up by
complaint to the board. Complain
ants only guarantee of action was
to go to the expense and incon-
venience of bringing action under
the nuisance ordinance, and under
that 1t has been difficult to ATTAIN
q conviction.
An instance is cited today in the
vicinity of the 800 block on East
Spragpe. The alley back OF this
black bears heavy burden of
stable product which frequent COM
plants have failed to remove. The
person responsible for it appears
to prize 1t too highly to part with
1t voluntarily. And the same could
be said of the majority of families

How long will it be before the

yes"
How many men have you taught

Nine. And l can trust any one
