ARMSTRONG
REvERSES

Commissioner Armstrong has
finally discovered that an alien
cannot become a citizen by merely
taking out his first papers and de-
claring his intention of forswear-
ing his foreign allegiance.
But he has waited to discover
this until after practically all of
the contractors on city work have
been compelled to shut down op-
erations for the winter.
Yes, George has really discov-
cred this fact at last, for yester-
day afternoon he issued an order
to the effect that from now on and
henceforth no foreign born person
who has not taken out his final
naturalization papers shall be en-
ployed on city work. This is a
direct reversal of former order of
the commissioner to the effect
that any alien who had taken out
his first papers should be consid-
cred citizen.

HILL CAME,
SAW, AND
LEFT AGAIN

President ]. J. Hill of the Great
Northern railroad spent an hour
and a half in Spokane this morn
ing. His special train arrived at
10 o'clock this morning and left a
little before 1O:30. His present
trip is more or less of mystery
to employees of the road, as he
made no statement whatever. 1t
is probable, however, that gen
eral inspection tour is the cause,
combined with a desire to see for
himself the operations of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget
Sound road in the Coast country
The Milwaukee is busy with con-
struction on the Coast, and it's
lines, when completed, will cut in
on a large amount of Great North
ern business. The railroad situa-
ton is rather complicated at pres
ent, and this part of the country
is the battle ground of the roads.

PAYS MEN

what wage they are to draw until
pay day comes around, and finding
their pay checks short of the
amount they suppose they have
earned, they enter protest. Then
they are calmly told that they have
worked part of the time ON work
for which only 1925 was being
paid.
And, just to add insult to injury,
the Hassam people are not hiring
their men as are other CONTRACTORS
of the city, but are requiring each
man put to work to pay 81 for his
job.
HOW 1T Is DONE.
But. how is the company doing
this, you ask?
Easiest thing in the world. Here
is the system:
Men for the Indiana work are
hired only through the Tierney
Employment agency at PIT Wash
ington street. The man who goes
to the Hassam company and asks
for job has no chance in the
world unless he has a ticket show
ing him to be sent by the Tierney
agency.
Then they are set to work on
the street grade, and work all over
the street, sometimes in the mid
die of the street and sometimes at
the sides. And this is the little
joker whereby the Hassam people
are getting away with their 1925
game, for it is only the work at
the side of the streets which is
city work, according to the Has
sam contention, while that in the
center of the street is private
work, paid for by the Washington
Water Power people.
A bunch of men was sent out by
the Tierney agency during the last
couple of days of November, and
set to work. Their agency ticket
distinctly calls for them to receive
pay at the rate of SO per day. The
Press has one of these tickets in
its possession.
Being set to work, these men
worked varying hours, some days
working eight hours, some ~, some
live hours, and on one day at least
only three. At the end of nine
days several of the men were laid
off, and every one of them found
their pay checks short. When a
kick was made they were told that
two classes of work were being
done on the street and that while
the city work was paid at the rate
of So per day, that done between
the tracks of the Washington Wa
ter Power company was paid for
at only 1928.
Commissioner Argall took up the
matter with Manager D. C. Mon
roe of the Hassam company, and
it was explained to him that only
one man had made complaint,
and that the company was paying
a lesser rate of wages on the
Washington Water Power contract
than on the city work.
The commissioner insisted, how
ever, that the man who had com.
planned was entitled to pay at the
full rate of wages, and was told
to send the man to the office and
he would be paid the alleged diff
ference of SAB between the
amount he had received and the
amount which would be due at So
per day. The man went, but got
no money. Instead he received
roasting" and was given to I'M
derstand that he was a rank agi-
tator and had no reason for kick
ing

BY A. GOOD FELLOW.

Well, come on you Good Eel
lows. Get into the game. We need
you all, for while the list of mem
bers in the Good Fellow Santa
Claus club Is growing rapidly, the
list of Empty Stocking children is
growing even more rapidly.
Us Good Fellows are already
arranging to make Christmas
merry for over so youngsters who
would otherwise find an empty
stocking on Christmas morning,
but there are now over 20 children
on the list. Are we going to let
any of these confiding and innocent
youngsters 60 without a Christmas
of some sort? l don't believe the
Good Fellows will allow it.
But if they are going to make
good for them all, we'll have to
have more members. So, if you
haven't got in already, send in
your name at once and let us know
how many children you want to
make happy. If you have joined
the club already, boost the game
with your friends, get them into it..
Appoint yourself a committee of
one to induce some other Good
Fellow that you know to join.
Then Wen have no aching hearts
on Christmas.
NO CHIMNEY FOR SANTA
CLAUS.
Let me tell you about some of
the letters that came in yesterday.
There's one from a little family
of five children who live in a tent,
and who are afraid Santa won't
find them because there is no
chimney, only a stove pipe stuck
through the tent wall. The two
older OF TINS family are boys, only
little fellows, but they realize that
times are hard this year and say
that they don't expect Santa Claus
to find them, but will be oh, so
