interest in labor questions. he
should be given recognition there

Mr.. Tavenner Is a man who has
the courage of his convictions,
and has been conspicuous in his
efforts to secure the passage of
measures in which labor is inter

Whenever It has come TO question
of deciding for or against the in

His work on behalf of the work

the field of journalism, where
daily through his newspaper bu-

This service has covered hundreds
of newspapers daily, and has been
of invaluable benefit in getting
public opinion in our favor on
many questions.
Some Of the questions upon

COUNCIL HEARS
PUMP statesmen
Commission Gives Audience to
Nine Who Tell of
Machines.
TO BUY IN NEAR FUTURE
City Dads Will Come to Final Deci-
sion on Purchase After Super
intendent Makes Report.

Members of the city council formed
in the office of Mayor H. NJ. Schriver
yesterday afternoon and listened to
nine pump statesmen who were given
opportunity TO explain the workings
of the devices manufactured by the
firms they represent.
The commission still has under con-
sideration the purchase of a pump for
the waterworks, and engines, some op-
Grated by steam, others by electricity
and some by crude oil, were offered
to the council at prices ranging from
$4,000 to $4,000.
The commission inquired into each
proposition and gained much informa-
ton.
The commission will not decide
upon the matter for several weeks,
as the expenditure to be made will be
quite large and the necessity of secur-
ing a durable machine, economical to
the city in the long run, is the aim of
tho council.
Will Visit Cities.
The superintendent of waterworks,
r. W. Sharp, will visit several cities
during the coming two weeks in an
effort to learn more about the various
types of engines. Already he has pre-
pared a tabulated statement of the
cost of pumping water, considering
fuel, oil and depreciation in value for
each type of engine considered by the
city.
The commission will base the decis-
ion largely on the views expressed by
Mr.. Sharp, since he has been recog-
nized by pump concerns dealing with
this city as an expert engineer, whose
experience and knowledge qualify him
to be an excellent judge of pumps.

T. Working to- obtain an investi-
cation of the Colorado coal strike
after the house rules committee
had turned down investigation.
That his efforts have borne fruit
is shown by the fact that a clause
was inserted in the Army and
Fertilization Appropriation bills
providing that at least 80 per
cent of the materials of war
should be manufactured in gov
eminent arsenals; a bill which
aims TO curb the Taylor system in
government shops has been fav-
orably reported from committee;
a clause was inserted in the Naval
Appropriation bill providing for
an investigation as to the cost OF
a government armor plate factory,
with a view to build one in the
near future; and the investigation
of the Colorado coal strike was
ordered.
II has been brought to our atten-
ton that a determined fight is be-
ing made upon Mr.. Tavenner at
the primary election by the manu-
featuring interests. and that his
work in congress on behalf of la
Dor is being urged as a reason
for his defeat.
Now brothers. in order to re-
tain our prestige with members
of congress, we must not allow
those who conspicuously fight our
battles to be defeated by reason
of their loyalty to us.
As certainly as we successfully
support those who are willing TO
jeopardize their political futures
in our behalf. just that certain are
we to get remedial legislation in
the future.
If you are a democrat or intend
to vote the democratic ticket at
this primary. We trust you will not
allow anything to keep you from
going TO the polls on primary day
and voting for Mr. Tavenner: and
il YOU are not a democrat and do
not intend TO vote the democratic
ticket at the primary, we urge up
on you individually to pledge your
self to secure at least one demo-
crat TO do so. In order 10 be eff
fective select some one who either
had intended to stay away from
the polls, or who had intended TO
to vote for Mr.. Tavenner's OPP
ponents.
The result will answer the ques-
ton. lis it worth while for a con-
gresham TO do anything for la
bor?"
Hoping this will appear as i'm
portant to you as it does to U.S.
and with best wishes, We remain,
Fratcrnally yours.

spires and church bells are doomed

Mr.. Bradner is a modern church ad-

can be seen for miles At night this
cross hangs in air, apparently on fire,
