s. THE ONLY
WEAPON
Remarkable Report on Off
cial Injustice by Central
Labor Council

One of the most remarkable
documents ever approved by a pub.
lie body in Spokane was the report
Of the general committee OF fifteen
Of the Central Trades Council on
the effort to have the judges of the
superior court call grand Jury.
The report was read by the COM
nnittee at the meeting of the trades
council last night and unanimously
adopted. It tells of shocking condi-
tions In the county and city gov
ernments in Spokane and the re.
fusal of the judges to call a grand
Jury to Inquire into these condi-
tions.
The committee finds that all ef.
forts to get the officials Of Spokane
Sity and county to clean up these
Conditions have now failed, and
that the only recourse for an out
ragged citizenship is publicity. Here.
with follows the report:
SPOKANE, Wash, June 6, 1910.
To the Officers and Delegates of
the Central Labor Union: Brothers
and Sisters: Your general COM
mittee of fifteen begs leave to re-
port in the matrons and grand jury
matters as follows:
The city council at it's last regu-
lar session passed an ordinance
providing for three matrons at the
city Jail, eight hour shifts, at SIS
per month. The ordinance will go
into effect June 30th. and the chief
of police has already appointed the
matrons. The Central Labor Coun-
Gil is to be congratulated on it's
work in this line, and many unfor-
tunate women will receive benefits
therefrom There is as much, if
not more, need for matrons in the
county Jail.
In the matter of the grand jury D.:
At the invitation of the five district
judges, members Of your commit.
tee met them at the court house
Wednesday evening, May 25, and
laid before them many violations
of law on the part OF city and

conditions in public affairs which
were a disgrace to the citizenship
and which needed an investigation
on the part of grand jury, so that
they could be remedied. Many

Fatality on Great Northern
at Intersection Of Cres-

Run down by Great Northern

to school after luncheon, a little
boy, age about years, was almost
instantly killed, shortly before I
o'clock today at the intersection Of
Crescent street with the Great
Northern tracks. The name Of the
little fellow could not be learned
at the time, as no other children
in the vicinity were able to recall
it. He gasped for breath but few
times as he lay beside the tracks,
near the rushing wheels, then died.
At press time for this publication
the Great Northern agents wore
still investigating the case, not hav-
ing identified the lad. It Is stated
that he seemed to fear he would
be tardy at school and tried to
dash across the track just ahead
of the engine.

TAFT'S MESSAGE ON
RAILROAD RATES
(By United Press Leased Wire)

(By United Press Leased Wire)
WASHINGTON, ID. c., June T.
President Taft today sent special
message to congress urging that the
railroad bill provision empowering
the interstate commerce commits
sion to suspend rates pending inves'
ugation become Immediately effec-
tive. The message outlined the con-
trovcrsy between the railroads and
the administration.
The message was prepared after
Taft had conferred with Represent
ative Mann of Illinois and Senator
Crane of Massachusetts The sub
ject of the conference was the most
effective method of securing the de-
sired amendment. Both Crane and
Mann declared they believed the
most effective method of altering
the bill would be to send the meas
uro to the conference, which could
insert clause making the bill i'm
mediately effective.
