These schools, for whose support
millions of dollars are appropriated

Admittedly the free is not eX-

who come from outside the state.

bOLOS FLASH IN SESSION
OF Federated CLUBS
Continued from page ~

When the fight was at its hot
test a proposition was made that
the delegates from the BOlo club
be asked to appear before the club
and make a statement that they
were unpledged to any candidate,
and especially to Hinkle. This re-
suited in the tables being turned,
and the whole Federated club was
put in the nine hole. The PROPOSE
ton was advanced by one of the
'rebels" that every man present be
forced to make the same statement
and this took the club off it's feet
The motion to demand the state
ment from the Bolo club members
was lost, the club not daring to
place each man on record.
Another hot fight arose over the
resolution introduced to break up
the advisory board and check it's
powers. AS this committee was
first appointed it had practically
unlimited powers to act in the
name of the Federated clubs, and
the gag rule Jared on some of the
others in the meeting. The resO-
luton was fought out hotly, and
it was finally passed over until the
next meeting. If the powers of the
advisory committee are not check
ed, they will be able to dominate
the club and take what action they
deem fit, their opponents contend
There has been so much jockey
ing to prevent one side from win
ming victory over the other that
the club up to the present has &C
complshed little. After taking up
the matter of Offering charter
amendment to wipe out liquor in
Spokane, Mr.. Burcham offered
resolution that the matter be de-
ferred for the present until it is
seen what action the legislature is
going to take finally on this issue
1t was debated that the charter
amendment was the easier method
to fight the saloon as a petition Of
but Is per cent of the voters would
be sufficient to cover the require
ments and have the matter brought
before the people. The play would
be to take from the council the
power to issue saloon licenses, and
in this way the saloons in the city
would soon go out of existence, it
is figured. Mr.. Burcham's resolu-
ton that the matter be deferred
was concurred in.

MPLOYMENT AGENTS ARE
ORGANIZED FOR DEFENSE

Editor, The Press-In view of
the fact that there has been so
much agitation and notoriety of
late concerning the employment
agents of Spokane it would per-
haps be interesting to the public
to hear what the employment
agents have to say We realize
that the agitation has gone too far
and that most of the charges are
groundless and without foundation
and arise from the same source,
that of the Industrial Workers of
the World, who are unrecognized
by all legitimate union organiza-
tons throughout the country, and
who list as members any person
who comes along that is willing to
give up 81 and pay into their treas
ury the amount of so cents per
month, for what? Apparently for
the privilege of being taught vio-
lence. disregard of the laws and
to interfere with those who are
willing to work.
Since the city administration has
shown an inclination to hold that
gang in check and compel them
to obey the law, We feel 1t our duty
to state that the employment
agents of Spokane formed an or
ganization some time ago and are
at the present time organized for
the purpose shown in section Ill of
our constitution. as follows:
THE objects of this association
are better protection from such in
fiuences as wrongfully and unlaw-
fully interfere with our business;
placing it's position correctly be-
fore the public; investigating and
acting on all charges of irregu-
larity and fraud, whether practiced
by an association or nonassociation
member; rigidly prohibiting all
practices which may be pronounced
harmful. and placing the business
on a higher plane and to work for
our own mutual interest and adj
vancement as opportunities may
arise
This association also elected an
executive committee whose duties
it is in part to receive and investi-
gate all charges of irregularity or
complaints from anyone who may
think he has a grievance and has
been unfairly treated by any one in
the employment business; which

TOWNSHIP LAW
WILL PASS

r. E. Martin, president of the
Spokane County Township club,
returned this afternoon from
Olympia, and reports that the new
township government bill has
weathered the storms of commit
tee consideration safely, and has
been ordered out for passage in
both houses. -.....
The bill was amended so as not
to be considered antagonistic to
the Office of county assessor, which
Office is not to be abolished in
counties having township govern
ment. The county assessor is to
prepare the assessment books for
the township assessors, who are to
report to the county assessor on
the completion of their work. The
county assessor will have the right
to advise with the township as
SCISSORS, but the latter shall be the
controlling power in making the
assessment in the rural districts.
Mr.. Martin says the bill will
pass, he believes, in the manner in
which it has been reported from
the committees. as the only oppo-
sition to it was from the county
assessors, who have been placated
by permitting them to continue in
office.

TWO HUNDRED PETITIONS
CALLING FOR EIGHT AND 10
PERCENTAGE PROVISIONS
SENT OUT TODAY FOR SIG
NATURE.

Two hundred petitions asking
the city council to place before the
voters of the city an amendment
to the charter providing for the
Inauguration of the initiative and
referendum on a more liberal basis
as to the number of voters requir-
ed to invoke it's provisions, were
placed in circulation today under
the auspices of Central Labor
union members and the Spokane
County Referendum league.
The petitions must carry the
signatures of Is per cent of the
voters at the last city election to
insure the submission of the
amendment to vote of the peo-
pie, An effort will be made to
secure these signatures in time for
the submission of the proposed
amendment at the coming city
election. Its advocates have more
than month yet to work.
Today ii was learned that the
charter revision commission would
probably take adverse action on
the referendum amendment and
that the subcommittee to which
it was referred would urge that it
be shelved on account of the low
percentage required.
The amendment, for which a
popular fight has been started,
gives the people the right to initi-
ate legislation by petition signed
by 10 per cent of the legal voters
at the last preceding city election,
which petition along with the ordi-
nance sought to be enacted must
be filed with the city clerk. When
signed by 10 per cent of the voters
it will be discretionary with the
city council to submit the question
at special election or defer &C.
ton until the next regular election.
When signed by 90 per cent the
immediate submission of the ordi-
nance to a vote of the people be-
comes mandatory. The council
can. however, avoid all trouble by
passing such legislation after it
has been submitted by the petition
ers, or it can pass a substitute
ordinance and submit the same
along with the ordinance proposed
by petition.
On petition signed by eight per
cent of the voters. the city council
is required to submit any ordi-

HOME LABOR
SCORES AGAIN

Trouble between August Use and
the Spokane labor unions is de-
clared today to be at an end. on
Uses promise to thoroughly union
lie his work and to bar out all
nonunion foreigners in future.
The settlement was brought
about as the result of meeting
between committee from the
Central Labor union and Mr.. Use
yesterday afternoon. Trouble had
been brewing since several days
ago, when Mr.. Use turned off sew
eral of the teamsters who were
working with their own teams on
one of his excavation jobs, simply
because he learned that they were
not members of the team owners
union.
1t is believed by members of or
ganized labor that this settlement
will be agreeable to the Central
Labor council. though it is sus-
pected that it will cause some lit
tie feeling in the team owners
union.

BUSY MONTH FOR
ASSOCIATED CHARITY

During the month of January,
the Associated Charities, of which
George H. Hollway is superintend-
ent. did more work for the city's
poor than in any other month
since It's existence. Records show
that 1874 destitute cases were re-
lieved at an expense of $320.S0.
In the neighborhood of 800 cases
have been investigated and re-
lieved by the Associated Charities
since the filing of the annual re-
port on September 1, 1908. In do
ing this work approximately $1,000
has been expended.

1T always is a mistake, sometimes
fatal one, for woman too plainly to show
her love for any man, however much he
may profess his love for her. The gravity
of the error, of course, is measured by the
manner of man whom the woman loves; all
men are not alike, and some few can stand
the test of utter security in the possession
Of that tender thing-a woman's heart.
But such men are as scarce as blue dia-
monds, and no woman is wise who adores
man and, still worse, tells him so. The
telling is the major part of the mistake.
Hearts are willful things, and sometimes
