Speculation among officials tonight revealed an opinion about evenly di- vided on the possibilities of a decision from the supreme court Monday on the Adamson law.

Catch Phrases

From Daily Financial America
 A recent special article in the Sunday supplement of a newspaper was devoted to the extent to which "catch phrases are used in our everyday thoughts and talks We have had something to say about that matter heretofore in this col unnn. Catch phrases abound in conver- satfons and discussions relating to busi- ness problems of the time. The fault in their use is that they are used as if they were the proof of something-as if they themselves carried argument and con- viction. Nothing could be further from the truth. Most of them have been the creations of prejudice; they have taken hold of the public imagination because they were alliterative, or 1ligh-sounding. Witness dollar diplomacy" There may be such thing, much as we doubt it, but the mere phrase, even if accurately describing something, is not an argu- ment Such phrases strongly tend to de- Jude. to mislead, and tend also to dull clear and independent thinking. They have their place. no doubt, but they are much overworked. They are rightly called catch phrases.

BUFFALO. N. Y, Nov. IS. -
Building trades heads at the
American Federation of Labor
convention here today wired Presi-
dent Wilson asking for a two-hour
conference to discuss government
work conditions all over the Unit
ed States.
The request was precipitated by
telegram from Secretary Of War
Baker warning the heads of the
building trades that the strike at
Quincy, Mass, which is delaying
work on a destroyer plant, must
be quickly settled.
The committee named to confer
with President Wilson was John
II. Donlin, William l.. Hutchinson,
Edward j. McGovern and James
Duncan. A fifth man is yet to be
appointed.
Gompers UnOpposed.
Federation politicians are al
ready at work in the hotel lob
bies. No organized opposition to

The city council may take over

seeking rooms.
According to all reports, hun
dreds of soldiers and visitors in
Tacoma could not find beds Sat
urday. Chairs in all hotel Hobbies
were occupied with sleepers. The
benches at the Union station and
Municipal dock were occupied.
Every chair in the Y. M. G. A.
lobby was filled.
Many men paced the streets,
unable even to find place to sit
down. Several dozen spent the
night on the floor of the central
fire station.
Until we get more hotels in

everything 1t can to remedy the

NO CASE
AGAINST
BOSTROM

Franz Bostrom, socialist leader
of Tacoma, who was arrested last
week charged with exhibiting
seditious pictures in the windows
of his bookstore, S13 Pacific ave-,
and re-arrested later on charges
Of exhibiting indecent and impure
literature, cannot be prosecuted.
After the government had
turned Bostrom loose, deciding
that he could not be held under
the espionage act, Police Judge
Graham issued a warrant charg-
ing the socialist with exhibiting
1.-THE Confessions of Nun" and
"The Decameron" In his store
window.
But police officers who served
the warrant thought that 1t was
another charge of sedition, and
failed to seize any copies of the
books.
Judge Graham sent Bostrom's
case up to the superior court for
trial. Deputy Prosecutor Selden,
who was put in charge of the pros
ecution, learned at once that the
police had not seized the books,
and found that he had nothing on
which to base the case.
The police also learned that
Bostrom had quickly removed all
copies of the two books from his
windows.
Without copies Of the books for
introduction in court, the prose-
cutor cannot attempt to prove that
Bostrom was exhibiting indecent
literature. For the books may
have been abridged, as far as the
authorities know.
So altho Bostrom is held over
for trial in the superior court, his
case will be dismissed when 1t
comes up on the docket.
