SpauIding MIL Employees
Get SO Per Cent Increase

Employees of the Spaulding mill and
logging camps went to work today on a
new schedule of rates and hours which
taken together mean that they receive
approximately 80 per cent more for their
services than they have in the past.
The new schedule is partly a result
of action taken by the management of
the mill and partly due to the order of
the federal government establishing the
eight-hour day in all mills and logging
camps in Oregon and Washington. The
Spaulding company put into effect a
new wage scale beginning with March
l, establishing the minimum wage at SO
for a ten-hour day, instead of $3.50.
Then the government issued its order
placing the mills on an eight-hour day
basis, giving the employees the benefit
of practically a dauble raise.
The government order came tztDugh
Colonel Briee 2. Disque, commander of
the spruce production division of the
United States signal corps and affects
all mills and logging camps of the two
states.

North Carolina Wants
Negro LabOrers at Home

State Labor Commissioner Hoff, was
asked, in a letter received yesterday
afternoon from Mandel Sener, secretary
of the Chamber of Commerce at New
Berne, North Carolina, to assist in
:" keeping the negro in the south-the
place of his birth and his logical home -.
The letter was prompted by the move
ment, said to be growing stronger in
the south, for laborers, both white and
negro, to leave the southern states for
the north where the working hours are
shorter and pay higher.
If the movement continues, the letter
stated, the south will face serious
shortage of labor, both for farms and
industrial enterprises. 1t is supposed that
the negroes are being led astray by
glittering promises made by labor agents
of the big wages TO be secured in the
north. Mr.. Sener would like informa-
tion as to the treatment of the negro
laborer in the Northwest states.
In his reply, Commissioner Hoff
stated that there was apparently no dis
tinetion drawn between white and colcr-
ed labor in the northwest states. As
the race problem has not reached Oregon
as yet, it will probably be impossible
to furnish the southern commercial club
with the information desired.

Advocates Further Use
Of Road Drag on Co. Roads

A. J. Anderson motored up from
Portland this morning and will spend
a week in the city attending to busi-
ness affairs. When interviewed by
representative Of the Journal the thing
(which seemed to have impressed Mr..
Anderson g mind most strongly of late
was the excellent results on the roads
which have been obtained between
this city and Portland by JudiclouS
use of road drags and graders.
e'The roads are better between here
and Portland right now than they
have ever been," said Mr.. Anderson
~With the exception Of the last SIX
or eight miles out of Salem they are,
simply fine and are more like pave
mont than a country road. 1t has all
heen done by the farmers along the
roads using drags and graders when
the surface of the road was soft, thus
filling ND holes and making them
smooth and giving them the rlght
grade in the center. The worst section
Is between here and Brooks, where a
Grader or drag does not seem to nave
been used and the road is badly cut
nm and full of chuck holes. | think IT
would he the best thing in the world
for the roads if a drag or grader
could be used on them more, at the
RIGHT time, and l think it would even
be a step in economy if some arrange
ment could be made between the coun-
ty court and the farmers living along
the county roads whereby the latter
might be paid for their services for
dragging the roads if they could not
be induced to do it otherwise. I think
it would really save the county money
in the long run -

CHAPTER x.

CHATTER n.
John L. Sullivan and Charley Mitchell
met for the first time in Madison Square
Garden, New York, May IA, 1888. The
bout was scheduled to go for four rounds
Conditions of the agreement provided
that the winner was to receive 65 per
cent of the net receipts and the loser
to take 80 per cent.
The bout didn' go the four rounds
through the interference of the police,
but it certainly was a warm session
while it lasted, and would have been
finished in the dressing rooms had not
friends of the boxers stepped between
them when they started after each other
following a wordy argument.
Mitchell weighed only slightly more
than 100 pounds when he took his place
in the ring the night of the fight, but
he was trained to the minute He was
a wonderfully built boxer and his size
could scarcely be counted against him.
Compared to him Sullivan loomed like
a mountain. He weighed more than 200
pounds and wheezed like bellows when
oyer-eXerted. He was hog-fat and not
trained at all.
Nevertheless, when the fighters took
their corners Sullivan S expression was
one of contempt. He sneered across at
his opponent and his face wore the in
furiated, scowling visage that he always
affected when about to go into action.
In the first round Sullivan continued
in contemptuous manner toward his
smaller opponent, and for the amuse-
ment of the crowd, condescended to use
only his left hand against Mitchell. Nit

and down went Sullivan, floored eleanly
for the first time in his life.
Sullivan arose raging. He rushed Nit

When time was finally called Mitchell

Sullivan s anger did not leave him.
When the second round opened he again
charged Mitchell The Englishman was
almost smothered by the failing arms
of the furious champion. Lefts and
rights rained on his head. He was
thrown from one side of the ring to the
other by the terrific punches. He did,
however, manage to- plant several solid
blows to the Sullivan midriff and they
were slowing up the fat Sullivan.
The third round was merely -repe-
tition. Sullivan, painting desptrately,
charging around like wild man, was
using his fists like clubs. Finally Capt
Alex Williams of the police department
stopped the bout, with the declaration
that he did not want to see Michel

and offered to finish it. Sullivan was
