ING DEAL TO LAND Nc.
ARTHUR AT HEAD OF MANU-
FEATURING AND COMMERCE
COMMITTEE.

According to reports from Seattle,
State Senator Hutchinson of Spo-
kane has withdrawn from the race
for president of the senate in favor
of Senator A. S. Ruth of Thurston
county. Senator Hutchinson was
in the race only on the understand
ing that Ruth was not 1t was sup
posed that Ruth was after the
craftsmanship of the appropriations
committee For the late place Sen
ator Rosenhaupt has the support
of the Spokane delegation, and
probably the biggest part of the
eastern Washington members.
In the speakership contest, the
Meigs supporters were approached
in a roundabout way by represent
tatives from Spokane county look
ing to the promise of the appoint
ment of James w. Macarthur of
Spokane as chairman of the house
committee on commerce and manu-
featuring, which was taken to
mean that the Spokane members
who did not enlist under the Meigs
banner at the outset are willing to
climb into the band wagon in con-
sideration of the appointment of
Macarthur. Meigs did not hold out
a promise of the craftsmanship and
so the matter rests.
Interest centers on the chief
clerkship of the house. Loren
Grimstead of Seattle and F. w.
Middaugh of Spokane, both expert
enced in the clerical work of legis-
lation, made considerable progress
yesterday, discounting the claims
made by ]. viii Lysons that he
already has more than a majority
of members of the house signed to
support him for chief clerk. A com.
bination between Grinstead and
Middaugh will defeat Lysons, and
this was made apparent with the
arrival of delegates from the east
ern part of the state.

BOTH DISMISSED

George Johnson and Robert
Perry, charged with robbery, were
today dismissed by Judge Hinkle
on the recommendation of Deputy
Prosecutor Kizer, who had investi-
gated the case and found that the
men were not guilty.
Kizer had talk with Perry, who
told him that on the night of the
robbery he was in hotel at Ross
land, B. c., and gave the number
of his room. Mr.. Kizer had Chief
of Police Rice write to the police
of RossIand. who verified the
statement of Perry, whereupon the
deputy prosecutor ordered the man
released. AS the party who iden-
tilted Perry could have made a like
mistake in the case of Johnson, the
latter was also given his liberty.

place is to be put out of business
early next week by Sheriff-elect
Moffatt, who assumes the duties of

past when they elected Moffatt to
the Office of sheriff.

CITY WINS IN
GARBAGE FIGHT

Judge Huneke today knocked out
the efforts of the private scaven-
gers to bar the city from engaging
in the scavenger and garbage col
lection business. The injunction
prayed for by the scavengers was
denied. and the ordinance recently
passed by the city council held. to
be valid.
The case under consideration
was that of Ed Smith against the
city of Spokane, in which it was
held that the recent ordinance
passed by the city council giving
the city a monopoly of the garbage
and scavenger business was uncon-
stitutional.
Judge Huneke held that the city
had the right under the police
powers granted by the constitution
to make such regulations as to the
disposal of garbage and other filth
and accumulations as it saw fit.

UNION HAS BIG
PROBLEM

How long will it take the union
men of the city. holding one
third interest in the concern. pro-
duced by the amalgamation of the
old Spokane Union Laundry Co.
and the Inland Laundry Co., to pay
off an Indebtedness of $4,000. which
the former company had at the
time of the merger?
This is a question that is per-
picking many a union man in Spo-
kane at the present time. BY vir-
tue of the amalgamatiOn, the Union
men, who held the stock in the
old Spokane Union Laundry Co.,
doing business on Broadway, were
given a one third interest in the
new outfit. Business is said to be
dull for the new union laundry.
and claims have already been filed
at the court house by different
parties holding notes against the
old Spokane Union Laundry Co.
The Inland Laundry Co., which it
apears is no more, is made garni-
shee defendant in one of these
cases, but according to stockhold-
ers in the old union concern, the
union men must pay off all indebt-
edness with their one third inter.
est in the new Union Laundry Co.
Hence, it is declared that the
union men will be unable. ever to
get their money ont of the laundry
concern again unless radical
change is not made at once.
The amalgamated concern has
been given the union seal, and diff
ferent labor unions in the city are
urging their members d patronize
the laundry in order that their
brother craftsmen and others OF
the organized labor men may get
their money back. Despite these
efforts, it is known that scores OF
union men in Spokane are not in.
clined to patronize the place be-
cause of dissatisfaction that has
been experienced with the union
laundry in the last few months.
Because of this state of affairs,
it is ching proposed now that a
representative of organized labor
shall be appointed to go before
every labor unicsl in the city for
the purpose of getting their mem
bers to patronize the union laun.
dry. Aside from this, 1t is pro.
posed that in lodging houses and
hotels where any large number OF
union men are boarding, that the
proprietors of the hostelrys be pc.
titioned to send all their trade to
this establishment. 81,
In the opinions of many OF the
union men of the city, who are
thoroughly acquainted with the
existing circumstances, this is
about the only plan by Which the
union men, who have pI1ted theiI
own money in the UinoH Lanndry
Co. may ever get their money out
again. Should this plaHf be car
ried out so far that hoteIand lodg
ing house proprietors -sho,ffd be
held to the patronage of the union
laundry, it is believed that the
Spokane Laundry association
would Immediately drop theil
prices so low in it's various shops
that the Union Laundry Co. would
be unable to compete With then
and at the end of the campaign
the chances for the union mer
would be even worse than they
are at present.
