Many Injured.

Syracuse, N. Y, May 6.-Striking
hod carriers and labOrers in riot to-
day clashed with the police and seven
Italians were shot and six policemen
seriously injured One striker will
die 1t is probable the militia will be
called out to deal with the situation
which is extremely menacing.
Later in the morning the strikers
engaged in a pitched battle, the men
using clubs and stones and the po-
lice replying with bullets. Two more
policemen were taken to hospitals af-
ter the affray. Losses among the
strikers are not known. The local
militia has been called out.
The first crash of the strike came
when about 800 strikers gathered in
an effort to call out the workmen
employed on a new building. Fifty
policemen. with drawn revolvers, ad-
vanced on the mob and when the
strikers threw clubs and stones, the
police fired. A general melee was
precipitated. 1t was in this battle
that seven Italians were shot Fur
ther trouble Is expected.
Firemen played streams of water
on the ranks of the strikers but fail
ed to dispose of them. a riot call
brought every policeman in the city
TO the scene when the second fight
began. The strikers after hard bat
tie withdrew.

evening and Pendleton will be assur-
ed rose show in 1918. probably in

best.

association, the several women's
clubs and the flower lovers of the
city. gathered at the office of DR.. |.
L. Temple and formed a preliminary

The society is voluntary one. and
all local people interested in flori-
culture will be expected to cooperate.
Every garden from this date must be
a matter of loving attention and
pride, preparatory to producing some
flower worthy of exhibit, that Pendle-
ton may do her best The soil, climate
and general conditions are favorable
and it is believed Umatilla valley can
rival the Willamette in the culture
of roses, dahlias, verbenas and astors.

rieties, both for collection and indi-
vidual flowers.
Entries will be by amateurs only.

Is the central recommendation OF the

report holds that the employers OF

ton.
The report also favors the appoint
ment of city housing commission TO
Investigate the tenement problem ana
the education of parents so they may
properly instruct their children In the
problems Of sex.
The report says in part: Ihe eN-
istencc of a segregated district tur-
nishes an open market for the whlte
slave traffic. Commercialized vice
has no rights that ought to be re-
spected or conserved. Segregation
does not segregate nor regulation
