contradictory State laws. but he does not know
how much has been done to remedy these In.

~ The great object Of the commissioners is to
standardize the laws OF our different States as
far as reason and justice require it. Every
State is represented by commissioner ap.
pointed by It's Governor, and the whole body
performs a work that supplements that of the
recently formed House Of Governors in a most
essential way It is a great work. and it is
10 every honest mans interest to help it along.
We are not inspired by "a passion for. uni.
formty," as some critic has said, but we aim
to do away with Inconsistencies, Irregularities
and abuses in our State laws which do clear
injustice to the American citizen and interfere
with proper business and civic relations be.

Waldport

s. d. Satterlee of Newport has
rented his Tidewater ranch to
Louis Weidman.
The gas schooner Enterprise.
Can't. Cassidy master. which was
recently placed on the run from
Portland to coast points. was un-
luading freight at the Waldport
docks this week.
The p oposition to bond the
county for road building met with
small favor in Waldport and vi
cinity. Uncertainty as to where
the money will be spent and objec-
tion to the expense Of a special
election are the main objections,
The general sentiment is that the
matter should be thoroughly dis
cussed before it is voted upon and
that the November election is the
proper time for it to be brought
before the people.
Surveyor Wygsnt of Newport
passed through Waldport on his
way home from Lane county where
he had been surveying for parties
who have made applications for
holnesteads in the reserve. II
majority of the applications are
granted, and there is no good rea-
Son to the contrary. the south end
OF the county will receive a large
addition to its population in the
near future.
The Mirene made port Tuesda
on her regular run from Portland
with load Of freight for the local
merchants and saloon fixtures and
supplies for Chas. Fosner.
A petition is being circulated
here asking the County Court to
appropriate $500 for the Waldport-
Tidewater road. Also one asking
the Forest Service for a like sum
for the same purpose. 1t is the
opinion Of those who have looked
over the ground that this sum will
be sufficient to build the road.
This road If completed will be OF
great benefit not only to Waldport
and the south end of Lincoln
county but to the whole county, as
it furnishes a new line of commune
cation with the outside world.

WILL INSPECT MOUNT VERNON.
Board of Visitors Will View
Grounds and House Tomorrow.

The recently appointed members of the
board of visitors to Mount Vernon to-
morrow morning will make their annual
inspection of the grounds and mansion.

the Mount Vernon Ladies Association,
now in session at Mount Vernon. Follow
ing the inspection Of the place they will
be guests at a luncheon.
The gardener Of Mount Vernon gave a
report concerning the flowers and plants
in the historic grounds at Yesterday s
meeting of the Mount Vernon Ladies AS
sociation. All through the winter the
corps of gardeners labored to prevent
lasting damage from frost and storm,
and it is reported that visitors to Wash
ington's tomb now will be greeted with
the same beauty as heretofore.
The question of repairing the east por-
tico was discussed by the association. 1t
was learned that the stones were prob
ably brought from a quarry near White
Haven. England 1t is stated that stones
for repaving the piazza may be obtained
at that place identical with the ones that
have been in use at Mount Vernon for so
many years. The association expects to
place an order before the announced clos
ing of the quarry In a few months.

CHICAGO CENSUS TAKERS b,
LIST RESIDENTS AT NIGHT
Made Necessary Because Many
Women Are Employed in Day
Time as Income Producers.

CHICAGO. May ia night squad OF
census takers has been forced into oper-
alton here by the number of wives who
work downtown to exc out the family
income. This condition. it was learned
today, prevails to the greatest extent on
the north shore, which is also the sec
ton with the largest population of
brides. Far from being a poor part of
the city this is one Of the most desirable
residence sections. with bouevards. lake
breezes and handsome apartment build
ings. Nevertheless James Moore, dis
trict census supervisor. found so many
of the young married women were en-
ployed during the day that it became
necessary to organize a night shift of
enumerators.
1T illustrates modern conditions" said
MIR. Moore. I'm order to keep up with
the cost of the kind of living they de-
mand. find that large proportion of
these young wives rent rooms in their
flats and hang on to their jobs so that
they can live in a fashionable neighbor-
hood

MAKES DEMANDS
Clashes With House Commit
tee Over Proposed Anti
Trust Measures.
I'LL FEELING is STIRRED
BECAUSE OF NEW REQUEST
Further Concessions to American
Federation Officials Absolutely
Refused by Lawmakers.

Organized labor has demanded that the
administration antitrust bills shall be
framed so as to give labor the widest
freedom and the greatest possible ex-
emption under the operations of the anti
trust acts. and has thrown down the
gauntlet to the House judiciary commit
tee. which so far has refused the demands
of emissaries of the American Federation
of Labor. Following a conference in the
Office of Chairman Clayton of the House
judiciary committee last night. the situa-
ton regarding the administration anti
trust legislative program in the House is
seriously confused and there is ill-feel-
ing. Those present at the conference
yesterday were Secretary Frank Morri-
son of the American Federation of Labor,
Jackson H. Ralston of this city, attorney
for the American Federation of Labor,
and Representative Lewis of Maryland.
chairman of the committee of labor. With
Chairman Clayton, acting for the judi
ciary committee were Representatives
Carlin of Virginia and Floyd of Arkan-
sas.
What the American Federation of
Labor demanded at the last moment
was a specific exemption of labor
unions from the operations of the Shef-
man antitrust act and provisions
which. the committee members say,
practically legalizes strikes, lockouts
and boycotts. The committee. presuma-
bly, standing with the administration,
has refused absolutely to grant this
demand.
Situation Regarded as Serious.
The situation presented is said to be
a serious one for the administration
anti trust program. The committee
members are in bad humor today be-
cause they claim that the labor men
waited until practically the last minute
before throwing down the gauntler,
and. it was stated today by committee
members. there had been an exhibition
of bad faith by the labor men. 1t was
charged that labor had agreed to the
Clayton antitrust bill before it was
reported to the House, even though it
had not been written so as to contain
everything that labor wanted.
Representative Lewis acted as the in
termediary between the committee men,
bers and labor when the trust bills were
being framed. He reported both to the
committee and the White House, it is
asserted, that the bill as drawn was en-
tirely satisfactory to the labor unions.
He returned yesterday with labor repre-
sentatives, who served notice that the bill
Is not satisfactory and must be amended.
Mr.. Clayton and his colleagues. with the
approval of the President, it is said, stood
pat on the bill as drawn.
As reported the Clayton measure con-
tains several paragraphs wf,4ch were
agreed to by the American Federation Of
Labor. One of them prohibits the over
night" injunctions against which labor
has complained SO bitterly; another one
provides for jury trials in indirect con-
tempt cases. and third one provides
that nothing in the bill shall be construed
to forbid the existence and operation of
fraternal. labor, consumers, or agricuI-
tural orders or associations
