E ] C II T H OUR LAW
IS ALSO VIOLATED
Matter Brought Up by President
Central Labor Council, Who
Demands Something Be Done;
Prosecuting Attorney Referred

The matter Of the employment Of
labor on city Improvement work more
than eight hours per day. to which
they are confined by the state law,
was brought to the attention of the
city council Monday night by Henry
Traub, president Of the Central La
Dor council, who declared that the
Warren Construction company was
keeping It's men at work from eight
to fourteen hours a day on paving
Jobs in the city. He said it was up
to the city council to revoke tho con-
tracts with that company for not COM
plying with that section of the con-
tract or see that they live up to the
law.
Employing Foreigners
In addition to that infraction of the
law. he said that the construction
company. instead of hiring local men
on the work as they promised to do
when the contract was let, are hiring
foreigners, most of their laborers be-
ing Italians and Greeks, who send
their money out Of the city and who
live in very undesirable manner.
All this was verified by another MEM
her of the organization who had made
It his business to investigate the mat
ter fully
Mayor Schott said that the COM
pany's representative had said one
reason why their price was higher
than charged for bitulithlc paving at
Salem, Oregon, was because of the
eight-hour law that required them to
work their men the shorter time. TIE
mayor said the contract was let VITA
the understanding that they were

only eight hours day
Council Can Compel Compliance
Mr.. Traub said that 1t was wit
the power OF the city council TO CU'
pei the paving company to emp!uf
h ONE labor and work them only eight
hours a day. It had been done sue
cessfully in ssachusetts, where he
came from. and he was sure II could
be done here. by resembling the con-
tracts.
city Attorney Lockhart reported
that he had notified Mr. Fitzhugh, tho
local representative of the Warren
Construction company, that he was
violating the law as to the employ
ment Of labor more than eight hours
day. Mr., Titzhugh. he said, had
replied that they mad been doing so.
but were not doing It now This, the
la Dor representative declared. was
untrue. for the latest reports were to
the contrary.
Referred to Prosecuting Attorney
Several Of the councilmen spoke
strongly of revoking contracts and
compelling the company to meet the
requirements in the future or they
would decline to give them any busi-
ness on motion, city Attorney Lock-
hart was instructed to place the mat
ter before the prosecuting attorney as
| It was a state law under consideration
and ask him TO bring the proper pro-
ceeding to hove the law complied
with.

SUDDEN DEATH OF
MISS SUSAN BOYLE


In the death Of Miss Susan H.
Boyle, who suddenly passed away
Sunday afternoon. 1t 100 o'clock.
the younger set Of North Yakima lost
one of its most popular and best loved
members. Miss Boyle, who had never
fully regained her health after an
operation about one year ago. sue
cumbed to nervous exhaustion. She
was born in North Yakima 23 wears
ago.
Nothing serious was recently noted
in Miss Boyle's condition unit; last
Friday, when she was taken ill and
went to bed. The next evening,
feeling considerably better, she arose
and went down town to the office OF
the Yakima Morning Herald, with
which paper she acceptably held the
position during the past two years as
society editor. Although enjoying a
vacation, she frequently came to the
office to write up some function for
friends and 1t was for that purpose
that she ventured out Saturday even
ing, despite protests of mother and
friends
This last loving service, for such
her work always seemed to be, so
cheerfuLly and enthusiastically was
it done, was too much for her frail
body, and when she returned home.
Miss Boyle collapsed. She sank rap
ing there in an unconscious condi-
ton most of the time until her death.
The funeral services were held
Tuesday afternoon, at 8 o'clock, in st.

Rev Alfred Lockwood, the pastor. the
services were conducted by Rev.

formerly rector of the church here

has been arranged that friends who
desire to attend the services at the
cemetery may use their automobiles to

number availed themselves of the OPP

Tuttjn Due 20 Attitude of Sena-
Atox Il Toilette on Duties in
the Wool Schedule
HOUSE REDUCTIONS TOO
LOW FOR SENATE
Situation May Force Adjournment
Without Passing the Measure,
4 Condition Evidently Favored
BY Southern Democrats

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Aug. =
Senator LaFollette and Chairman Un-
derwood Of the house ways and means
committee who have undertaken to
reconcile the differences between the
senate and the house on the wool
and the farmers free list bills for the
full conference committee, are in an
unquestioned deadlock with the pos
sibilitv of remaining 80 and thus
forcing adjournment of the session
without final action on either OF these
measures.
The tie up is due to the uncom-
promising attitude of La Toilette to
the house bill. He has told Under
wood that the reduction in rates be-
low those fixed by the bill passed by
the senate is an impossibility and in
reply Chairman Underwood who has
had great difficulty in getting the
agreement in house to rates fixed IN
his bill has said the house will never
accept the senate figures.
LaFollette's contention is that the
senate rates constitute reduction OF
about three fourths Of the difference
between the rates of the Payne-Al-
drich law and those of the house bills
and that it is impossible to go lower
and hold the progressive republicans
together and that it is better for the
democrats to take half loaf than to
get nothing in way Of tariff board.
May Cause Adjournment
The difficulty in arriving at an
agreement pertains to the wool bill
only an agreement on the free list bill
could be had at any time. The dead
lock has given rise to all kinds OF
suggestions. Accepting the tangle as
unsolvable some senators and repre-
sentatives have suggested final adj
journment regardless Of the confer
ence and the senate is being sounded
ON the proposition. Most of the reg
ular republicans and democrats. es-
pecially southern senators. will agree
to adjourn. The southern democrats
would welcome the postponment of a
consideration of the cotton schedule
until next session. The cotton bill is
unquestionably playing a part in the
conference.
Insurgent republicans and some in
surgents appreciate the impossibility
of holding a quorum in congress af-
ter the wool bill is out of the way
and take the position that the only
safeguard is to keep the wool bill
back until after the cotton bill is re-
ported and a day fixed for the vote.
Power to hold the wool measure
rests with conferences but they will
not admit they are acting from this
motive. Both LaFollette and Under
wood said tonight that the outlook for
an agreement is somewhat brighter
