United Laborers

At Sundays meeting of the Trades
and Labor Assembly Delegate II. L.
Wright, business agent of the United
Laborers Union, reported new scheme
instituted by city improvement con-
tractors for violating the city ordinance
STIMULATING $3.50 per day for laborers.
1t was stated that J. Fred Roberts, who
has the contract for curbing and grad
ing in the region of Cook and Steele
streets, is employing thirty men on the
job. He pays the scale of $3.50 per day
of eight hours all right, but compels
them to board at camp and charges
each man Sl.25 per day for grub, so that
in reality they receive only $l.2 for a
days work. The contractor has erected
cook tent, which also serves as a mess
room for the working crew. 1t was in
sisted this also was violation of the
city building regulations and the mat
ter has now been taken up by the city
building department for investigation.
The United Laborers also reported
that violation of the city ordinance as
to pay and hours for laborers is still
being allowed on the Colfax avenue via
duct. A letter was read from John f.
Brockway. attorney for the r. p. Me-
Donald Construction Company, who
were the lowest bidders for this work.
Notice mas been served on the City
Council and City Auditor Marlley that
the company will hold the city liable
under the law for failure to accept the
lowest bid. In way, the fate of the
lahorers is linked with this case. The
Mcdonald bid for Classification No l
was SS6,70s.75 lower than the Denver.
Pueblo Construction Company, to whom
the contract was awarded. and for
Classification No >, S93,4l6.55 lower.
In order that the matter may be more
clearly presented, it was referred to the
Legislative Committee for full investi-

Machinists

A movement to have the Interna-
tional ASSOCIATION of Machinists affili-
ate with til international Metal work
ers' Feder tion, with headquarters in
Stuttgar Germany, was started at the
last n ting of the executive board held
at hlAdquarters in Washington. The
proposition has found much favor among
the lodges throughout the country and
officials have expressed themselves al
most without exception as being in
hearty accord with the proposition.
The federation in question is an or
ganization maintained for the purpose
of bringing about better understand
ing among the metal workers of all
countries.
The international president of the
machinists was instructed to take up
the question of affiliation with the fed
Grafton at once.
In the official organ of the federation,
published monthly in three languages, a
review of the international Machinists
appeared, and it was stated that were
the organization to affiliate, the fedora
ton would doubtless recommend all ma
chinists to affiliate with the Interna e
tionai Machinists.

General Trade Conditions.

Bradstreet's says: "The American
business world has spent the week in
absorbing the shock Of the precipita-
ton of the European war and, pending
the taking Of necessary precautions,
activity has been curtailed to lowest
limits. This is especially true of op-
erations of large financial and COM
mercial lines, and considering the new
and varied steps that have had to be
taken the progress made has been in
high degree gratifying.
Repression has been widely in evil
dence, but absolute stagnation has
been largely in export and import
trade. Congestion Of wheat at the
ports, consequent upon the partial
stopping Of shipping trade and the dis
location of the exchange market, has
reacted back upon the railroads and
thence to the western farmers and the
movement is slowing down.
There has been a general rise in
prices of nearly all staples where open
markets exist with marked effect not
ed on all lines Of imported goods,
which are generally held higher. Food
stuffs and imported textile products
are strong, but lack Of outlet and of
financing power in view of the situa-
ton abroad checks free buying Of sta
pies that foreigners need.
There Is a feeling that domestic
manufacturers will have fall trade
more to themselves than appeared pos
sible a short while ago."

GREAT BATTLE SOON
FRENCH MINISTER OF WAR SENDS
WORD OF CONDITIONS UNDER
WHICH ARMIES WILL FIGHT.
MILLIONS OF MEN ON LINE
Owing to Extended Lines This Vast
engagement VIII Differ From Bat.
ties Of other Times.-Each
Has Advantages.

Paris, Aug. 16.-The conditions un-
der which the great battle between
Germans and the allied forces probably
will be fought are made the subject
OF an official communication issued
by the French minister of war this af-
ternoon. BY its development and the
nature of the ground over which the
battle will be waged, the communica-
ton says this waste engagement will
differ profoundly from the battles of
other times.
"By reason of the abandonment of
the attack which the Germans plan
ned against Nancy" says the commu-
nication. "our concentration has been
carried out with regularity and in it's
entirety, and thus the whole of the
French army will battle with the whole
of the German Forces, with the excep-
ton of those German troops concen-
trated on the eastern frontier of the
empire.
"The violation of the neutrality of
Belgium has extended the Belgian and
French lines to the frontier of Hol-
land The next battle. therefore, will
be from Basic to Maastricht, with sew
eral millions of men engaged an each
side.
Fighting Front 266 Miles.
1T is this enormous extension of ef-
fectives and of front which will char
acterize the battle, and 1t will be pro-
foundly different from all other bat
ties.
when two adversaries engage In
battle along a front of from 20 to 80
kilometers (13 to 20 miles) the en-.
gagement is characterized by two fea.
tures-it is rapid and Immediately de-
cisive. With front extending over
400 kilometers (266 miles it Is not
likely to be the same.
1t would appear impossible, from
all the evidence, that one of the ad
versaries would be able to gain deci
sive advantage upon this front of 40(
kilometers. The operations along sc
great line would have varying for
tunes.
Advantage About Equal.
} I'VE will have an advantage at one
} or several points; the Germans will
have an advantage of other points, and
| the line of battle will continue to bt
modified until one of the adversariel
succeeds by coordination of move
ments and mass of effort in gaining
some point the superiority of which
will dislodge the adverse front ant
mark the end of the first battle.
these observations have for thei
object the preparation of the public
for a battle in new form and withou
: precedent in history
J The communication adds that new
: of definite results need not be expect
ed before Aug. "a.

ON PACIFIC COAST

The recent fire in the Stoddard Lum-
Der company at Baker, Ore. caused
100000 loss.
Elmer j. Anderson, mining man OF
Valdez, Alaska, was shot and killed
and robbed of $500 and a gold watch
at Seattle recently.
Sixteen million dollars in the new

Vreeland-Aldrich act is now in the sub
treasury at San Francisco. Applica-

1t is reported that the crop OF
prunes in California is promising bet
ter than first indicated; estimates are
now running as high as 135,000,00
pounds in that state. Some claim,
however, that the production will not
exceed 120,0O0,00O pounds. On the
other hand the Oregon output OF
prunes has been greatly damaged and
restricted by the rains, and will be ex.
ceedingly small.
The official opening of the Panama
canal to the passage of vessels Of all

STOCK AND CROP NOTES.

1t is reported from the Lewiston
country that the dry weather has cur
tailed the hay crop to considerable
extent.
shipment of 16 carloads of cat
tie was made from Cottonwood, Idaho,
last week. Nine cars went to Spo-
kane markets and the balance to Port
land.
Estimates from the Yakima valley
place the total fruit shipments for
the season at between $50 and 900 car
loads. The movement of pears is now
at its height and liberia peaches are
also moving in large lots.
The department of agriculture's bu-
reau of crop estimates announced on
July 81 that the condition of the cot
ton crop on July rs, reported as 76.4
per cent of a normal, forecasts yield
of 1886, 900 bales of 500 pounds gross
weight, as against 1916 on July Is,
1918. The past ten years average on
July 25 was 80. This is said to be
the first time the government has an
nounced q forecast of the cotton crop
before December.
The United States department OF ag.
riculture states that the area Of sugar
beets planted in 1914 was 10 per cent
less than in 1913 and amounted to
about $4,000 acres. In Idaho and
Utah a greater area was planted this
year than last year, but in some of the
other states there was decrease. The
area harvested for 1913 was about 81
per cent of the area planted for the
entire United States. The average
price paid to growers for sugar beets
in 1918 was $3.50 per ton.
The sugar crop just harvested in
Iloilo province is the largest in guam.
tity Of any since 1908, according to J.
F. Boomer, Manila correspondent Of
the Daily Consular and Trade Reports.
Notwithstanding the low grade Of
much of the sugar turned out. and the
very low prices offered, large con.
signments are being shipped to New
York and China. Some difficulty is
being experienced in getting sufficient
vessels to carry sugar being put on
the market. Two forces are operating
to compel sales Of sugar at the low
prices now reigning-scarcity Of mon.
ey among planters and insufficient
warehouses for storing the crop.
