Committee of Commercial
Club Looks Into the
Factory Matter.

The committee appointed short
time ago by the Commercial club to
take up the work of promoting the
idea of a better patronage among
home people for goods manufactured
locally, has held it's first meeting and
attempted to devise ways AMI means
for the conducting of a campaign along
these lines of some perrnanence.
+ The first thing decided upon by the
committee was that the Walla Wal's
manufacturing field inclu'e all indus :
tries not alone in Walla Walla but
throughout the district and the field
as a whole to extend from Pendleton
to Pasco and Pomeroy Anything man
ufactured in this field would be con-
sidered a Walla Walla valley indus
try.
It was also agreed that essentially
all local manufacturers must be able
tC demonstrate that their goods are
% good or better than foreign goods
and be offered for sale at as low d
Price.
The committee was not down 10 bus
lress very long before it discovered
some surprising facts relative to the
extent of the manufacturing already
being carried on in the Walla Walla
valley
After preliminary investigation it
was estimated that the manufacturing
interests, all told, did yearly IL business
of at least $5,0O0000 The list of ar
ticles manufactured Waa also found to
be surprisingly large and Of q great

Premier Asquith
SurrenderS to
Party Alliance
TO INTRODUCE VETO
BILL AND BUDGET
AT SAME TIME.
Vove Shows Government
Has Slight Majority
In Commons.

LONDON, Feb. 25.-Pre1nier AS
quith today surrendered to the new
alliance of the radicals of his own
party with the nationalists and labor
ties, and agreed to introduce the veto
bill and budget measures simu tame
ously. The premier had originally
planned to force a vote on the veto
bill before the budget was taken up
The action of Asquith is taken to
indicate he already has the assur-
ance of the king that he will appoint
enough liberal peers to pass the veto
measure if the lords reject the bill. If
the king fails to do this, the cabinet
will resign without passing either the
budget or the salary list. This would
paralyze business.
Members of parliament today learn
ed that the liberals can muster a suf-
ficient vote on minor measures to Sc
cure the passage in the commons but
the sluender majority has arounsed
speculation as to whether they can
carry out the policies of the govern
ment. The first test came yesterday
when Austen Chamberlains fiscal am
endment was rejected by margin of
81 votes. The result proved encour-
aging to Asquith's supporters. Incl

now believe the ministry will weather
the storm of the coming legislation.

COLDER TONIGHT

Snow Rapidly Disappears
And Signs of Spring
Are at Hand.

From 40 degrees, the maximum tenn
perature recorded yesterday, to Sc, the
lowest point reached during the night,
the mercury wavered during the past
"a hours, the thaw which started yes
terday forenoon having continued all
throughout the night. The wind has
continued steadily from the south
west, though somewhat cooler today
than yesterday. Weather Observer
John Grover this morning issued a
forecast for rain or snow tonight and
tomorrow, with cooler temperatures,
and it is thought the thaw will be
checked before the running water can
result in an overflow of the valley

Much of the snow which has COW

disappeared, the streets of the city be-
ing small rivers of muddy water and

heavy rain fell late in the afternoon,
but as darkness came this gave way TO

Local officials of the O. r. & n.

from various points along their lines

feet that hard freese was being ex-

that washouts and softening road beds

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 25.-Al-
though a general strike in sympathy
with the street car employees appeared
remote today, the question will be
setted finally next Sunday at a great
mass meeting. The presence of arm
ed troops along the lines today pre-
vented any semblance of rioting and
the cars moved with frequency. In
dicatiOns are that the authorities will
be able to hold the situation in hand.
According to the company's figures,
i44 cars were in operation and 66
continued to run until midnight. In
creased service is promised by the
company which announces that 400
new men, many formerly in the en-
ploy of the company, were hired today
and will take out cars tomorrow.
