COMPANY REFUSES To PAY
FOR STREET ASSESSMENT

Trouble over the delay in COM

this morning, when letter was re-
ceived at the office of the city

that it considers itself damaged to
the extent of more than $4,000 be-
cause of the aforesaid delay.
Mr.. Clark, in his letter, sets
forth that Huron street and Water

July first, and that there has been
no apparent attempt on the part
of the contractors to complete the
work within any reasonable time,
He also delivers a quiet little

energy, backed by little judgment
and consideration and respect for
those who are obliged to submit
to conditions, would have been so
far along by this time that his
company would feel no reluctance
in paying their assessment
promptly.
Under the existing conditions,
however, he declares that his COM

min Spokane in the past year by
the Card and Label league, at the
head of which is Louis lie Claire.
In touching on the open shop fight
in the coast cities, Mr.. LIE Claire
said: 81 think thise movement is
dead in so far as Spokane is con-
cerned. The movers in the crusade
against union labor found the large
stores Of this city handling big lines
of union made goods and feeling
kindly toward union labor. When
no support was foun din this quar-
ter they gave up the effort and
quit. The Press articles are timely
and should be read by every mem
Der of organized labor"
Said Sam Evans, a member of
the carpenters union: II don't be-
lieve our people have sufficiently
aroused themselves to the serious
ness of this fight. While we are
moving along in apparent ease and
security, the other fellows may be
getting in their work in secret, and
the storm may thus break before we
realize it. However, l don't antici-
pate any trouble before the next
year, should there be any move
ment on foot. l think the articles
of Mr.. Sleeth are fine and to the
point"
d. c. Coates is of the opinion that
there was an effort made a few
weeks ago to embroil Spokane en-
ployers into the fight Of Portland
and Los Angeles, but that not suffi-
cient encouragement was given.
Conditions between employer and
employee, with the exception of two
or three lines, are more satisfactory
here than on the coast. and | think
that Spokane was found to be poor
soil on which to sow the seed of
discord. However, it is well to be
forewarned and ready for the battle
should one come"
