HOME LABOR AMENDMENT
up FOR A DISCUSSION
MEETING THIS EVENING
ieamSteS and LabOeS Brought in From Portland and Home
Labor Shut Out by Cutting Wages Demand That Resi-
dents Be Given First Chance for Employment on Public
WOTk---Saem to Adopt the Principle Followed in Other
Progressive Cities.

Shall Salem give home labor a
chance to live, or shall the home labor
ers and teamsters and mechanics be
starved out and forced to leave the
city by the policy of bringing in con-
tract labor every time a piece of pub
lie work is constructed?
That is the question being raised by
the resident workingmen of this city,
who want the protection Of the follow
ing provision of the city charter ex-
tended to them:
The Home Labor Amendment.
At the last city election the follow
inging amendment to the city charter
was adopted by an overwhelming vote
Section a. Any contract en-
tered into for or on behalf Of the
city of Salem for a longer period
than five (5) years shall be null
and void from date of contract, In
the execution of any contract for
public work by the city or by its
agents, or by any contractor,
contracting firm or corporation,
preference shall be given in the
employment of labor to bona flde
residents Of the city.
In the past the city government has
treated this amendment as a dead let
ter and no effort has been made to en-
force IL, The laboring men who re-
side in this city are going to ask that
the above charter provision be insert
ed in every contract for public work,
and made a part Of the same.

Seward, Alaska, June 1O.-Like a
phantom ship, in her white covering
of ashes, the mallship Dora steamed
slowly into the harbor here yester-
day from the westward, bringing de-
tails Of the great eruption of Mount
Kotmai.
The appearance of the Dora testl-
fies tn the hail of ashes which she
encountered and passengers and
crew recount thrlllingly their narrow
escape from death by asphyxiatlon,
as the steamer fed through the
binding rain Of ashes to safety.
Those aboard the Dora believe that
several small fishing villages on the
shores of Shelikof Strait were de-
stroyed by the eruption. The reve-
nue. service at Unalaska has been
asked to send assistance.
Dora Close to Volcano.
The Dora was in sight Of Kitmal
when the eruption began and those
on the vessel Witnessed a brilliant
spectacle. Danger was added to their
position when poisonous gases
poured forth by the volcano, filled
the air. Many persons aboard were
almost overcome.
The first evidence that the volcano
was preparing to awaken after years
Of inactivity came early Thursday
when the Alaska Peninsula was
rocked by a violent earthquake. The
night before the Dora was at Cold
Bay, only Is miles southwest Of the
volcano and across shellkof Strait to
Kadiak, when the eruption began at
3 o'clock In the morning and the
mountain was in plain view.
Frequent earthquakes disturbed
the water Of the strait, when sud
denly a terrific explosion occurred in
the distant mountain and great
mass of rocks was thrown into the
air.

HOW TO RAISE CELERY

Farm and Fircsldc says on the
subject OF growing celery:
II have now finally settled on the
double-row system OF planting celery.
The Commercial celery-growers in
South Lima and other celery growing
sections all practice this plan, and
] fully appreciate its advantages.
They have the tive rows in each
set six inches apart. and the plants
six inches apart in the rows. These
double rows are three feet apart
from center TO center, which makes
the space between the outside rows
OF two adjoining sets two feet six
inches wide. This IL space enough
when boards arc to be used for blan-
ching and to allow cultivation with
the one-horse cultivator. One OF the
many growers / observed in South
Lima uses a carload Of boards for
this purpose. The cheapest lumber
is good enough. and IL well taken care
OF Will last many long years. A thou
sand feet of twelve-inch boards cover
a thousand plants at one time, and
will blanch from three TO four thou
sand stalks during the season, which
represent between nearly fifty and
possible eighty dollars gross returns.

away In this valley called El Cajon.
Last Saturday was fruit day. The
ranchers OF tho valley had all Kinds
of fruit, berries. grain and vegeta-

fine display.
An estimate OF all the valley to
the foothills gives 10000 acres. Fully
1000 acres are under vines and about
200 acres in citrus and deciduous
trees. The opening of the Panama
Canal will be celebrated by two great
International Expeditions to be held
out here in. 1915. One of them will
be at San Francisco and the other
here at San Diego.
San Diego is today a city OF about
$1,000 people and is growing more
rapidly than any city In the west
People are coming to the city from
the east and middle west in great
numbers every year. San Diego has
a beautiful harbor and its back coun-
try is very rich.
The Exposition to be held here
will be different from any expos
ton that has ever been held, and b,
cause the climate is 30 mild and -
uniform II is going to be kept open
from January LIST TO Dec 3lst In 1915.
A woven wire fence twelve feet
high has been put up encircling the
AIS acres that constitute the grounds
and this will be covered with beau
tiful Towering vines by the time
the exposition opens. so as to form
a solid green wall.

C0l0ReD BAPTIST S. S. C0NvER-

The colored Baptists held a Sunday
School convention in Derea the first
week In August. IL is the first time
such a convention has been held IN
Is rea, and the large out-of-town at
tendance and the interest OF the
local churches and Sunday Schools
was very gratifying to all concerned.
Several good programs were render-
ed and collections were taken for
the work, amounting to STA.
The general opinion prevailed that
IL was the best annual convention
which these Sunday schools have
ever had, and this result was most
pleasing 10 the members and resi-
dents who worked very hard for II.
The Citizen has been subjected 10
some criticism because no mention
was made OF this convention at the
time. and, In defense, the editor can
only say that he was out OF tho
State at the time and no one con
cerned took the trouble to mention
the gathering to any one Of tho OF
flee force. nor were the proceedings
submitted by the Secretary as is
the usual custom. The convention
was In session during the week OF the
fair and the presence OF strangers
was attributed to that attraction
and caused no comment
We are always glad to report such
gatherings. as our friends certainly
know. and are very sorry for this
omission. II as much time as was
spent in the criticism had been used
IA giving US the Information, we
should have been saved the regrets. :
