HOW STRAHORN LOVED
THE WORKING PEOPLE

Again, It is another illustration
how the people are fooled when
some organization or interest
wants something at the hands of
the people.
During the summer. when the
franchises of the North Coast and
the Milwaukee were pending, r. e.
Strahorn, president of the latter
road, gave a written promise-at
least 1t was made to so appear at
the time-in which he said that he
would employ union labor on the
work within the city and pay the
scale.
1t now develops that Strahorn
gave no such promise, but that the
agreement to employ union labor
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1910-12-15

at the going scale was signed by
him on a typewriter and did not
contain his bona fide signature.
That this is probably true was
shown this week when the North
Coast started to put crew of men
at work within the city. The men
were hired through the different
employment agencies at $1.75 per
day and had to pay $3.50 for the
job
This is another sample of how a
railroad keeps a contract, If such
an agreement were ever made. But
it is thought that Strahorn never
gave the promise, and for this rea.
son the bogus agreement was circu'
lated among the union men to fool
them.

FORGOT MISSIONARY DIGNITY

Jesse Sewell, a colored mission
worker, was so anxious that his
mission at 612 Front avenue,
should be homelike and cozy that
he took considerable of the furni-

mission properly. When his wife
objected, Sewell forgot his mis-

quence he landed in a cell at the
city Jail with charge of disorderly
conduct against him.

has been taken to secure the correct

Austin's S Escape.

The residents of the borough of
Austin escaped a serious flooding
the first of the week. During the
thaw the big reservoir belonging
to the Bayless Pulp and Paper Mills
filled with water to it's utmost ca
pacity and the tention was very
great, causing the wall to bulge in
the centre, and in fact leak through
in several places. The residents
on Railroad and Turner streets as
we'll as several families on Costello
avenue, took to the hills, expect
every moment to see the mighty
volume of water rush down the
valley on it's work of destruction.
School sessions were out of the
question as the families whose
homes were threatened sought ref
uge in the school house and the
hospital and all homes that were
situated on an elevation was
thrown open to the less fortunate.
Dynamite was used in breaking a
portion of the wall and relieving
the great pressure of water and
also saved the town from the i'm
pending doom. The danger of the
flood is over and everything is
back to normal again. Work will
be started at once to repair and
strengthen the big reservoir.
Austin escaped a horrible catastro-
phe, even as serious as Johnstown.
