LONDON SOCIALISTS IN
AN UNIQUE CAMPAIGN

LONDON. June 10.-"Red Week"
will be observed by organized social
ism throughout Great Britain. Fol-
lowing the example set by their con-
tinental comrades. the leaders and
active members of the British So
cialist party will devote seven days
to eaynest missionary work for the
cause. particularly london and the
big industrial centers. The ideal set
for each member is that he shall
cause at least one new recruit to be
enrolled under the red flag. In the
larger towns there will be systematic
house house canvassing and dis
tribution of socialistic literature.
A variety of novel methods OF pros
elyting is promised. A number of
( London bus conductors have agreed
| to risk dismissal by handing a leaflet
! tc each patron of their vehicles. and
new terror is to be added to the
BARRIERS chair by the declared inten-
ton of several followers of that craft
to expound the doctrines of social
ism to every customer during the
week. Elevator men in the tubes
will explain TO passengers the bene'
fits of socialism as a remedy for the
ups and downs OF life. milkmen will
drive socialistic arguments home with
the milk. and postmen will defy gov
ernment regulations by leaving so
cialistic literature at the doorways o.
possible converts.

CAPITOL ELEVATOR MEN
HAVE PRETTY EASY JOBS

WASHINGTON. June 10.-Finding
five hours a day. an oregon man re-
Gently appointed as elevator conduc-
tor in the senate wing of the capitol
building has made an attempt to get
appointed through his congressman
nthe house side as well. II he sue
ceeds in landing the additional job
he will work ten hours IA day and
draw $500 a month. which is not bad
considering that he is taught the
work of running the elevators and
paid in full while he is being instruct
ed.
When congress adjourns, IL he is
successful in landing the additional
place. he will get 5000 a month for
nothing at all until December /.
when the two houses will reconvene.
Whether he lands the extra place or
not, he is drawing s100'a month for
five hours a day work. and will not
have to work at all during the re-
cess, but will continue to draw that
hundred a month.
That is the pay and those are the
hours. of all the elevator men in the
capitol and in both office buildings
No union made any kick about the
men standing on their feet so long
and got the hours cut down. Th'
principle is the same as that under
which the doorkeepers get S1440 4
year for sitting at the many doors OF
the galleries from IL a. m. to p. m
| Cor earlier IL the senate adjourn'
earlier). These men get whatever va
cations the lawmakers decide upol
without any reductions in pay.

MUTTON MARKET WEAK

NNUUI ttsy VI NIIC JUuI HuI'J
PORTLAND, Ore, June 0.-There
Is slightly weaker tone generally in
the local market for mutton. although
lambs are still selling as high as Sc
for extra fancy offerings.
There was a rather liberal run of
mutton over night in the local yards.
and while buying was of good char
acter. the market was nevertheless
o: a weaker shade.
Perhaps the better feeling in the
eastern trade for mutton caused buy
ers to take hold rather early today In
the local yards. although they were
offering slightly reduced values.

Small Run of Cattle.

There was only a very limited run
OF cattle in the North Portland yards

The market stood in rather gooa
condition with practically no change
