Thn LAW Is Void.

If the eight-hour law applying to Ia
bor on public works which was passed
by the people in the November election
we're in force it would apply to labor
ers employed by the Port of Portland
because the Port of Portland is a mu.
nicipal corporation. Mr.. Crawford has
held. however, that the law is Voic
because of the absence of an enactin2
clause.
The coming legislature, it Is De-

the necessary enacting clause. Ih'

London, Dec. 2O.-Flat prediction

would settle the Balkan war was made

by that dignltary to the peace enyoys
before they were present to King
George,
Il am an optimist," said AsQuith. Il
believe that the negotiations now in
progress here between the Balkan
combatants will be successful and that
the outcome will warrant posterlty in
regarding the peace treaty of London
as one Of the ciy's proudest and most
valuable laurels.'
Reports that the Garbaldian legion
lost all It's officers and had 400 men
killed and wounded in the fighting
near Janina have been confirmed. The
legion was composed of 1000 soldiers
of fortune, commanded by General
Ricciotti Garibaldi, a son of the Ital-

that the allies shall permit the re-

suit Of this information, and despite
the prediction of Premier AsQuith,
many observers predict resumption
Of war in the Balkans within a week.
