sTEFFENs DEMANDS SQUARE
DEAL FOR LAB0RERS

GBY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONSl
PORTLAND, Sept. THAT if the
business men of Los Angeles do not
keep the agreement he alleges they
made to give labor a square deal
he will circulate petition in Califor-
MIA for the McNamara's pardon, is a
statement today by Lincoln Steffens,
magazine writer, who claims he had
an active part in negotiations leading
to the McNamaras pleas of guilty. He
says lie will give reasonable time
and then go to San Francisco and Los
Angeles to confer with labor leaders
to frame the petitions.
LOS ANGELES, Sept Harry
Chandler, vice-president and business
manager of the Times and a member
of the citizens committee with whom
Lincoln Steffens conferred during the
Mcnamara unrest, said: Il did not
meet Steffens before the confessions
Afterward, with several others, | con-
ferred with him in an effort 10 straight
ell out the labor tangle. We could not
agree His idea of industrial peace
Is what San Francisco now has,
closed shop. We have not broken faith
with any one. SteffenS tried to DOM
ineer the entire matter. and so far as
| know he had not much to do with
the McNamaras' pleas. We want III
dustrial peace anyway"
E. T. Earl. publisher of the Express
and Tribune, said: when the matter
of having the McNamaras plead guilty
arose | realized it would be the best
thing possible for the city and county
and favored it. Some were disposed
to hang back, but an agreement was
made. The McNamaras went to pris-
on. After the pleas a conference was
held for better understanding be-
tween capital and labor here. I at
tended one meeting, when several EN-
ployers met Steffens. A committee was
named to investigate further with him.
The purported statement of Steffens,
saying definite promise was made, is
an overStatement. He will remember
that some of the employers were not
very enthusiastic for the scheme 1t
was my belief better understanding
could be brought about | regret the
committee appointed for the purpose
has not acted with more vigor.'

WASHINGTON, Sept 7.-Republi.
can leaders generally profess no knowl
edge of the report circulated last night
that James S. Sherman will abandon
the presidential race. National
committeeman claim such PROPOSE
ton has not been considered. Sher-

no worse than for two months. 1t is
rumored Ambassador Guild of Russia

NEW YORK, Sept 7.-Secretary
Reynolds of the Republican national
committee declared the reports that
Sherman's health will compel with
drawal are not even worthy of denial.
Sherman is in Utica, according to a
message Reynolds has received, and
apparently is in good health.
He is preparing for an auto tour
with his wife. The reports, it is be-
lieved, originated in a telegram to
Memphis, in which the vice-president

valley was to the destiny of their own
city, and for their own sake they
joined in the chorus of promotion.
A year ago it had become evident
that the great upiift had begun, and
now that forward and upward move
ment has become so impetuOus that
YOU can eau it by no less name than
a boom.
That Imperial valley furnishes glori-
Gus opportunities for half million
people now is known TO everybody,
and thousands are preparing to be
among the early arrivals.
That the capital and metropolis of
this wonderland has need for fifty
thousand people is widely realized, and
homeseekers by the hundreds are now
planning to be among those present" ="
For years it has been inevitable that
a boom should strike this valley. With
millions of people looking for OppOr-
tunities and with the opportunities
awaiting the millions, il was simply a
question of time when the TWO should
come together.
And now they are coming together,
The early rush of hOmeseekers by
the trainload to the valley tells its
own story. The cry for land and for
houses. heard everywhere, tells of the
impetus the boom has acquired.
And this is only the beginning of
September, 1t is weeks ahead of the
usual season. 1t is a time when sum-
mer languor usually still hangs over
the valley.
But note the streets today. There
is the life, the business hustle, the
confident step OF the midwinter rush
of activity.
The boom is here, AS The Press has
predicted, it has struck us early. It
is the beginning of the great rush
which will sweep Imperial valley on
to its mighty destiny and which will
make OF its capital the third greatest
city in all the Southwest

Of the crime of kidnapping when he
captured John j. Mcnamara here
and took him to California last April.
Federal Judge A. B. Anderson indi-

Judge Anderson's intimation came
during Burns petition In habeas cor

lease from an Indictment charging
him with kidnapping.
Counsel for Burns contended that
in the arrest Of Mcnamara all the re-
quirement Of Federal laws relating
to eXtradition had been complied
with. The Burns lawyer said the in
dictment against the detective was
based on Indiana laws, imposing con-
ditions which were not contemplated
by the Federal statutes.
