!KLABOR

Striking switchmen are eagerly
awaiting word from the twin cities
today regarding the next step to
be taken in the fight for recogni-
tion of their demands by the rail
roads. The railroad department of
the American Federation of Labor
is in session at St Paul, and it is
believed that in the face of the re-
port that the railroads have also re-
jeCted the locomotive firemen'S de-
mands for an increase in pay, gen
eral strike in this department will
result
Strikers throughout the north
west are momentarily expecting to
hear from headquarters that the
machinists'. telegraphers' and
freight handlers unions have been
called out in sympathetic strike
with them. Even with the strike
having lasted among the switchmen
this long, it is declared that the
local switchmen's union is still in
fair financial shape, and that the
members are prepared for a contin-
uation of the strike for an indefin-
tie period.
The most complete traffic tieup
in the history of the west seems
threatening SWtchmen declare
that with the firemen's grievances
now on their cause will be materi-
ally aided and that the only man
ner in which the railroads can
avert most serious trouble is to
bring about a speedy and satisfac-
tory settlement of the differences
throughout.

CHARTER RECEIVES
GOOD BIG BOOST
Recall Provisions Remedied---C civil
Service Adopted---W Work Is
Completed.

The committee voted down the
preferential system of holding cleo
tions. and the plan adopted is prac
tically the same as in the city OF
Des Moines. D. C. Coates made an
effort to secure favorable action
on the preferential system. losing
by one vote. The preferential sys-
TEN received support from seven
out of the 10 members of the com
mittee. 1t will be recommended to
the people as an alternative propo
sition, the members of the com
mittee being somewhat undecided
as to how it will operate. MI
Coates said he believed the prefer.
entail system would become the
popular method of holding elections:
in the cities in this country in the
near future, and all that was neces-
sary in order to secure the adoption
of this system was for the people
to properly understand the manner
in which elections were conducted
under this plan.
The present park commission
plan was adopted by the committee
with an amendment providing that
property owners who felt inclined
could assess themselves and the
park commission could create park:
and Fairgrounds paid for by abut
ting property owners.
The committee will hold it's fina
meeting one week from next Frida,
| u-hap tho pptira draft of tho nrO
| posed charter will be read over ant
| clerical errors or other imperfec
tions will be eliminated.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1910-02-02

The charter committee practi-
cally closed its Iabors last night,
passing upon the final draft of the
mittee celebrated its meeting by
amending the direct legislation fea-
lures Of the proposed charter in a
way to popuIarize the new docu.
ment with the people.
The percentage necessary to Sc
cure a special election to recall
member of the proposed commits
sion was reduced from 25 per cent,
as now in force, to 20 per cent.
The proposition to compel voters to
go to the city clerks office in order
to sign petition to recall an cleo
tive officer was also knocked out,
and the requirement that signers
be registered voters was also done
away with. The petition under the
proposed charter can be given gen
eral circulation, and every objec-
tionable feature which has been
proposed was eliminated.
The initiative and referendum
features of the proposed charter
were also amended, the voters not
having to register in order to quail
ify as signers of a petition. The
percentages to initiate or secure a
referendum vote remain as at pres
ent. 10 and s per cent respectively.
The progressive members of the
committee got together last night
for the first time since the commit
tee has been meeting, with the re-
suit that the people can under the
proposed charter absolutely con-
troll their elective officers and can
legislate in all matters of interest
to the public, whenever such action
is deemed necessary.
The committee also went on rec
ord in favor of civil service for
members of the police and fire de-
partments. The chiefs of the de-
partments are included in the pro
posed civil service law. 1t is likely
that some opposition will develop
to the proposition to include the
chiefs of the departments in the
civil service. If this is done these
departments of public service will
be practically Independent of the
city commissioners, and the powers
of the commissioner of public
safety will be curtailed and the
efficiency of the department ham
pered by placing the chiefs under
civil service. 1t was the consensus
of opinion on the part of the com
mittee that the members of the
police and fire departments should
be promoted whenever occasion ar
rived to make changes or created
new positions in these departments
If the plan of the committee is
carried out a member of the police
or fire departments can serve as
chief and retain his right to resume
his old position on the force should
he be retired as chief.

great shock to many people occur
red last evening when James Fenni-
more Cooper, recently elected head

the North Central high school, died
suddenly at his home, 1926 Sinto

Although Mr.. Cooper had been in
poor health for some time. he was

ACID.

Dependent over trouble, both
financial and domestic, James Fay,
age about IS years, with a wife Iiv-

ended his life by drinking carboIic
acid in his room at the Denver

An unpaid bill for nearly 500 on

deadly acid while he was alone in
the rooming house, and was in the
throes of death when the landlady,
for whom he had been working at
odd jobs, returned.
Emergency Hospital Physician
O'Shea and Steward Dare made
heroic efforts to revive him, but he
was dead within quarter of an
hour after their arrival with the

for several weeks, saying that he
and his wife had persistently quar-
relied and had parted some time ago.

PARTY CREAM

Complaint comes from the Can

boys have committed number of
depredations there recently, and
that complaints to the police de-
partment seem to bring no results.
Last night a gang of boys broke
into the back porch of family on
Tenth avenue that was having a
social affair and stole the contents
of two cans of ice cream. The
cream was literally plastered over
the walls of the house and the gen
eral surroundings, wholly regard
less of the fact that ice cream has
recently gone up in price.
The boys cut the wire and I'M
hooked two clasps on the screen
door before reaching the cream
