Mr.. Geo. Lutz, President,
Market Auditorium Co.,
Wheeling, W. Va.
Dear Still have received informa
ton that your company is about to
erect a new Auditorium building in
the city Of Wheeling, and that de-
termined effort has been made to
have this building erected by non
union labor. @ @ 81 eraf
: Our International Executive Board
has instructed me to, write you and
ask you if you will not take the in
terest of organized labor into con-
sideration before the contracts are
let, and see that the contracts go to
firms who are fair to organized labor.
am of the opinion that you already
know that If a building of this kind
is erected by non-union men, there
would be numerous organizations
who would want to hold conventions
Fins your city and would be unable to
use the building for convention pur
poses.li There is possibility that
our. next annual convention will de
eide on a city in your locality for ouI
Convention In 1918, and ! am sure
there would be no arouble in convinc
I ing our members that it would be 9

Dear Strive understand that
your company are planning to erect
I large auditorium in your city and
that it appears to me that there is a
determined effort being made to erect
this building by non-union labor. ss
Our International organization is
represented by a local union, No. go,
In your city and there is a possibility
Of our holding a convention in Wheel
ing. at some future date. If, however,
theb uilding that Is to be erected for
the purpose of holding conventions Is
to be built by non-union labor, you
can readily appreciate that we would
not care to meet therein. and the
chances are that it would be a mark
against your city when the PROPOSE
| ton is voted upon. would therefore
urge upon you, as the Secretary OF
our international Organization, to do
everything in your power to have a
provision inserted in your contract
Tor building this structure that none
| but union labor be employed.

Dear Sir:-It has come to our mo-

the means Of keeping such conven-

Representative Jawbrake wants to
have it explained why he should vote
salaries all the way from $500 to
$4,000 a year when he only gets $500
a day for 40 days or $50 year for
two years to create all the other Of
fees, The $500 day Job is never
refused, No one ever resigned il.
A Hat salary of $500 day for all
public officials would be about twice
what a laboring man gets and he is
able to live and support his family.
officials could live for $2OO day and
save a dollar day at that, and as
they hardly ever get out of Office but
stay in for life, they are so per cent
better on than those who work for a
living.

Immigration
FOR OREGON
is PROMOTED
WESTERLUND MAKES STRONG
SPEECH THAT CAKRIES THE
AIEASURE-SAYS OREGON IS
BEHIND OTHER STATES IN
GETTING DESIRABLE POPULA-
TION.

When the Abbott bill to create the
Office of state immigration depart
ment was up for third reading Hunt
ington made hard fight against it,
and there was some danger of its
defeat. Westerlund, of Jackson,
jumped to his feet and made pow
erful plea for the bill
He said Oregon was 90 years be-
hind some other states, and that the
great need Of the state was to Sc
cure more agricultural laborers and
families who would make homes on
the small tracts and develop the dairy
and fruit industries. We needed
more Germans, Scandinavians and
the thrifty and Industrious laboring
people of Northern Europe.
The house then passed the bill for
an act craating the Office of state
immigration agent and prescribing
his duties, and authorizing such
agent to cooperate with and dele
gate to the Oregon Development
League and the Department of Com
merce of the Agricultural College OF
the state of Oregon, immigration ad-
vertising and statistical work, re-
spectively; and making appropria-
ton for the carrying on of such work
of s25,OOO.
1t contains the following sections
That for the purpose of securing
desirable immigration to the state OF
Oregon, and for the purpose of pre-
pairing and distributing at immigra-
tion stations and elsewhere in the
United States statistical information
and literature setting forth the re-
sources, industries, products and
physical characteristics of the state
of Oregon by published bulletins
reports and other documents, and for
the purpose of classifying and hav-
ing of record reliable statistical and
other information of such resources
and industries of the state, the office
of state immigration agent is hereby
created
There shall be appointed by the
governor within 80 days after the
taking effect of this act, some person
to the Office of state immigration
agent who shall hold said Office for
the term of four years, unless soon

cause, and who shall serve without
compensation
Theirs shall be and is hereby ap-
propriated out of any moneys in the

READY BULLION EXPLOSION
 WAS ODD AFFAIR

Douglas, Dec. 16.-The smashup at the Bullion compressor room yesterday noon was one of the most peculiar acci- dents that ever happened at the Tread we'll works.
 The big fly-wheel flew to pieces, causing the engine to run away. Sev eral parts of the machinery were hurl- ed through the roof of the building with terrific force and was distributed hun dreds of feet away. The interior of the building was wrecked and the com pressor ruined.
 The mill was shut down for seven hours, after which it was started up. The machine men at the mine were laid off on account of there being no air to run the machines. Hoisting has been resumed, nevertheless. A force of men are working like Trojans laying a line of air pipe from the Mexican mine to the Ready Bullion and as soon as the line is complete air will be sent there from aother parts of the works, the oth- CT compressors being connected togeth CT. ~
 It will be only question of day or two until all the machines will be run ming again. The Bullion compressor will probably not run for long time.
 The two men who were scalded were not hurt and are not laid up with their injuries. IA From the Dispatch.

BOGOSLOV AT IT AGAIN

Bogosov was evidently on a violent rampage on the night of October 20. The night was cloudy, yet comparative ly clear, says the Seward Gateway. The Dora had passed through Unimak Pass, and was approaching Akun Head, when the officers noticed three dis tinct and prolonged flashes lighting up the atmosphere to the west. Then at in tervals the phenomenon would occur again always three flashes. The off cers paid little attention to it, thinking the light came from the little volcano on Akutan island, only 10 or 15 miles off, and almost directly between the ship and Bogolov, 90 miles away. The following day at Unalaska the revenue cutter Bear put in her appearance, com ing from the Arctic ocean, and report ed having seen the same flashes, coming by threes. Bearings taken by the two ships were compared by the command
 ing officers, and it was found that the intersection of the two bearings came directly at the location of Bogoslov
 It is thought that the illumination must have been of majestic proportions, and of wonderful intensity, to be seen 90 miles to the eastward from the Dora and 150 miles to the northward from the cutter Bear. Within two or three days after the observations before men tioned, the last of the revenue cut ters were to leave for the states, so that the present arrangement of the islands forming this most wonderful group must remain unknown to the world until April or May next year, when some cutter will be ordered to go to the scene and observe the chang
