OREGON CONDITIONS.

Portland, Ore.-The Central Labor
Council of this city has forwarded to
the state officials of all the states, as
well as to the labor organizations, a
statement of conditions in Oregon. 1t
seems that through the efforts of hostile
employers, promoters, real estate agents
and others. the country has been flooded
with alluring advertisements of the
great opportunities offered in this state
and large numbers of people have MI
grated here to find that they have been
hoaxed. The result is that there is a
large number of people in the state who
are the victims of these advertisements.
The statement concludes with stating:
I'VE welcome to our state men and wom-
en- who have true understanding of
conditions In Oregon. There is room for
such emigrants to aid us In the develop
ment of our resources. What we pro-
test against is the INSCRIPTIONS exploita-
tion OF deluded people.

AN INTERESTING STORY.

Washipgton.-In the February num-
Der of Everybody's Magazine, there be-
gan story entitled, big Business and

written by C. p. Connolly, one-time
resident of Butte, Mont, the city where
first as public official he became aware
of the pollution of the stream of justice
by the big copper interests of that camp.
The first article is intensely interesting
and there is an array of facts marshalled
and proven which must be appalling to
every lover of justice 1t is wen worth
the perusal of every individual interested
in public affairs.

COURT EXPLAINS ACT.

Columbus, O.-The Ohio supreme court
has handed down an opinion showing on
what grounds it upheld the workmen's
compensation act. The court explains
that the powers granted under the act
constitute valid exercise OF police pow
er; that it does not deprive one of prop
erty rights without due process of law;
that the act does not clothe the state liza
bility board of awards with judicial pow
er, but makes it merely an administra-
tion board, and that it does not make an
arbitrary and unjust classification.

age received here to-day from the cable
ship Nina, which is supplementing the
work OF the Mackay Bennett In searching
for bodies of those who perished in the

little hope OF adding TO the ls0-odd now on

up nearly all obtainable. II his prediction
is correct, the bodies OF Major Archibald
Butt. Mrs Isidor Straus and other promi-
nent persons. not reported as among the
