Watching Suspects

Ell Paso, Texas, Oct. 27.-Represen.
tatives of the state department on the
border claim to have no knowledge of
a plot of Mexican revolutionists to raid
the American expeditionary force in
Mexico while United States military of
ficials say they have been prepared fol-
such an exentuality for months.
For weeks agents of the department
of justice have been on the alert for
Manuel Ochoa, former Villista general
who is known to have crossed the Rio
Grande river below here with papers for
Villa. With two others, he was cap
tured by Carranzista river patrol, but
by a ruse escaped, killing two of his
captors.
He then reached Villa, held q confer
ence with the bandit leader and return
ed here. Department agents made a
raid on his residence here several
weeks ago, but he escaped and again
crossed the border. Part of his papers
are now in possession of United States
agents.
Close watch is being kept on several
Americans suspected of attempting to
aid Villa.
Andres Garcia, Carranzista inspector
consul general, declared today that the
de facto government had heard of the
proposed raid, but had taken no steps

$4,000 to $250,000 was expended in
pay roll in packing, canning, assembl-
ing and shipping these products.
The above items, in so far as they
concern fruit, are approximately cor
rect, and while it is hard to get any
where near exact figures on the agri
cultural products on account of the un'
organized condition of statistics in re-
gard to those crops, ] think that the
figures given for agricultural products
are very conservative. In regard ia
hops the figures | have put down are
only probably fifteen per cent of the
crop, but have tried to confine my.
self to what | would think would come
to Salem.
Never in the history of the past ten
years of the Willamette valley has
there been such good crops, with good
prices at the same time, and never have
the general weather conditions been SC
favorable for gathering and saving the
entire crop. Ordinarily, on account OF
bad weather, thousands of dollars worth
of products go to waste on the farms
and in the orchard but this year every
thing was saved and there has been an
excellent market for even all the cull
fruit. 1t has not been so much a gues
tion of selling the goods this year as a
question of being able to get all of the
fruit and products you could handle
and prices have been the highest in
years.
1t certainly looks as though some OF
the much talked of wave of prosperity
in the east has crawled over the Ore
gon line and hit Oregon at last. have
heard it said that there have been more
mortgages and notes paid off this fall
than there have for many years.
In ease it should be possible for me
to serve you further, at any time, will
be very glad to be called upon.
Yours truly,
Salem Fruit Union.

.OREGOMAN IN PANIC
RESORTS 10 FAKE TO
D|ScRED|T PRESIDENT
Chicago Building Trades
Council Brands as Lie Its
Reported Condemnation

can absolute fake and falsehood'
is the brand placed upon the resolu-
tion purported to have been passed by
the Chicago Buildings Trades council
condemning President Wilson and urg-
ing working men and women to vote
for Charles Evans Hughes.
The resolution is branded as false
hood by the officials of the Chicago
Federation of Labor and by the presi--
dent of the Illinois State Federation
of Labor in kilograms received Mon
day by E. j. Stack, secretary of the
Oregon Federation of Labor, at Port
land.
This fake resolution was published
Sunday in the Oregonian and Mon
day in the Telegram. 1t reveals the
lengths to which the opponents of
President Wilson are going in their
efforts to discredit him in the eyes of
the working people, whom the presi-
dent has won by his support of many
measures for their benefit.
! As published in the Osegonian, the
/ fake resolution, after lengthy pre-
amble, said: "Be it resolved, that we
condemn the present administration
for its lack of sympathy with the
American working men of the build
ing trades, as well as its inaction in
adjusting a grievance that is of the
greatest corncern to the mechanics of
the building industry in the United
States, and
"Be it further resolved. That we
urge our members and sister councils
throughout the countrdy to work and
vote against the re election of Wood
row Wilson"
Mr.. Stack wired to the Chicago
labor officials to ascertain if the
resolution was authentic. and the fol-
lowing is the reply he received from the
president and secretary of the Chicago
Federation of Labor:

Gagging Probe Of
High Living Cost
.(iBy Lucien Saint.)


WASHINGTON, March 2-Congress
is trying not to appropriate about
$4,000 to investigate the cost of liv-
ing in the District Of Columbia be.
cause it would be-wasteful.
Probably $4,000 is too much to pay
for such an investigation, but the lex
perts" say that this is the price, and
if it can't be done for less, it ought
to be done for what the experts need.
Congress was told that one girl was
paid two two-cent stamps for three
hours work on an apron; that the
average department stores pay for
women is $3.50; that the pay in fac
tories and laundries is lower than this
low figure.
Congress was told that it costs be-
tween So and SO a week to live in lodg
ings anywhere near decent, and that
the women who live at home generally
have the burden of helping along
other members of the family
Congress heard a Congressman de-
clare: sWe believe the chief cause of
poverty in the District is not shift
lessness and drunkenness, but under
pay"
Congress heard woman tell this
story:
"a widow with two children came
to Nei"hhorhood House to put her
children in the day nursery, as she
had to go to work. | looked into her
employment and found that she is
pressing mems clothes all day long
for 81 week The steaming clothes
