THE RIGHT THING.
City Authorities Finally Pay LaboIers
of Metropolitan Co.

The city council has at last taken
action concerning the claims of he
laborers in the employ of the Metro
politan Construction Co., and has paid
the laborers, holding out the money
on the company. This is only right
and proper, but the shame of it all
is that these laborers should have b cen
compelled to wait so long for their
wages. Most of these men are in
mighty poor shape to have their hard
earned wages held back on them for
weeKs. What the city should have
done in the first place is to have paid
these men, and then made the recrcanl
Metropolitan Co. come across. A whole
lot of suffering has been entailed that
could easily have been avoided.
Several firms that supplied the con
struction company with material OBJ
jected to these laborers being paid by
the city at this time, fearing that their
claims for material furnished mi ight be
endangered thereby. 1t might be well
for the central body to ascertain the
names of such firms and make them
known to the wage earners of the city.

rs THIS TRUE HERE?

In Australia only men who are given
receipts for paying taxes are allowed
to vote on public improvements. 1T
is an actual fact, however, that the
public owns and operates more kinds
of property there than here. The fact
is that the big tax dodgers Of Oregon
(they always call themselves taxpay-
ers) manage to secure for their side
many votes of men owning no real
estate by threats of stopping the oper-
ations of industries if taxes for public
needs are voted.--Portland Labor

The Firemen of Havelock are going

that there is going to be merry time

Havelock will be the scene of the fes-
tivities, and there is no better dane

WHAT THEY LEARNED,

German union men investigating con-
ditions in this country point out that
while paid little more the working
gets less than in \the old country
because the American workman is over
driven and also mercilessly killed off
by inhuman disregard of safety de-
vices.
