LNTERNA TIONAL WAR IS
BLOCKED BY UNION MEN

| Again, when war was imminent
between Brazil and Bolivia and
threatened to complicate Argentina
the labor organizations issued proc.
lamations against their several
governments and declared that the
first gun fired would be the signal
for general strikes that would par
alyze the countries involved in the
controversy.
The latest move of the South
American workers is to form con.
tinental federation. 1t will embrace
mechanics, laborers, miners, farm
ers, etc, of all the principal coun-
tries. The promoters include ma
tives, Italians, Germans, French
men, Spaniards and other Euro
peans who have settled in South
America during the past decade.
They frankly announce their deter
mination to raise wages and reduce
hours of labor, thus destroying
cheap production and the undersell-
ing of labor in other parts of the
world.
The next step will be to enter a
worlds federation with the organ
lied workers of North America, Eu-
rope and Australia. 1t Is expected
that next year delegations from the
South American workingmen will
visit the United States and Europe
to gather information and perfect
plans for the proposed internation-
al alliance.
am in a position to say positive
ly that correspondence has already
passed between the South Ameri-
can workers and the international
labor bureau at Brussels. as well as
North American representatives,
with a view toward the cOnsumma-
ton of the worlds labor federation

Spokane has outgrown her in
fancy and with her hundreds of
men and women compelled to work
downtown at night for their exist
ence, she is entitled to adequate
transportation facilities, at all times
throughout the day and night.
A night car service would prove
almost godsent to the night work

more than a mere accommodation
of the laboring element to the city.

From all present indications
there will be scarcely anything but
the hardest kind of work for the
common laborers in Spokane this
winter. Principally, work In sight
for the cold months consists of
rock cutting along the streets and
excavations for buildings in sever
al of the huge rock piles in DIFF
ferent parts of the business Sec
ton.
Federal union No. 11,624 still has
two cuts to make through the solid
basaltio rock In the southern part
of the city. One is at Eighteenth
and Madison. and the other on
Madison between Fifteenth and
Eighteenth. The first job can be
completed In short time, but
there is sufficient in the latter to
keep small crew of men employ
ed nearly all winter.
Something has gone wrong. r.
C. Sweat, the architect, has re-
jected all bids on an extensive ex-
cavation job at Washington and
Spofford, on which he advertised
for bids some time ago. 1t is un.
derstood that none of the bidders
offered to do the work at a very
low figure, but 1t is declared that
this had nothing to do with the
architects rejection of the whole
bunch Of kem.
On the contrary, Mr.. Sweat an.
hiuunces to his bidders that he will
reopen the bids about December
DO, under new specifications There
are q number of contractors after
that job who are indulging in con
siderable speculation as to what
new specifications" really means
in this case. The excavation will
call for the removal of about 10000
yards of solid rock, much of which
will have to be moved away from
the ground
