CORRECTION

In the Jounal's report of the meet
ing in Red Mems Hall on the even
ing Of January /, President Short
was quoted as warning against the
organization of a labor party. The
Journal used the following Ian
guage:
'Bro. Short warned against the
organization at this time of labor
party, feeling that the ultimate aim
and result of such a course might
result in the disruption of labor
solidarity. At this time division in
The ranks of labor would result in
retarding its progress and defeat
ing its aims. He hoped that dele
gate elected by the meeting would
use caution and not be led away
by the glittering promise of such
proposition if it be brought up
in the Chicago Convention.
What Bro. Short did say was in
substance as follows:
He warned against any effort to
levide the labor forces of the coun-
'ry, pointing out that information
had come to him of a plan among
certain elements to capture the Chi
cago convention and organize a sep
crate union that would break away
from the National Movement-the
A. F. of L. He did mention the
proposed National Labor Party and
said that it would individually be
launched from the convention, but
rave no particular advice concerning
it. 1t was the other movement (fos-
tered, Of course, by the wobs) that
he had reference to. He was told
that their (the wobs) plan is to
slip a motion through the Chicago
convention to withdraw from the A.
F. of l.. and form a new western
union that will embrace all of the
radical groups west of the Missip-
pi. However he is satisfied that
their plan in that respect will fail
but thought it well that our delegate
end our movement should be warned
in time against it, as lewiston at this
time means disaster, no matter what
what form it takes.

OREGON STATE
FEDERATION OF
LABOR TO MEET

PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. 4.-NeXt
week promises to be one of unusual
interest to labor in Portland and
in Oregon. The sixteenth annual
convention of the Oregon State Fed
Grafton will be held here beginning
Monday morning. The Pacific Coast
District Metal Trades will also con
vene on the same date for a three
days session, at which time a re-
port will be submitted by the com
mittee which visited Washington,
D. c., to carry the appeal from the
Macy Board decision.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday
the reconstruction congress called
by Governor Withycombe and Mayo"
Baker will be held in the public
auditorium. This convention, in
which labor will participate, will be
attended by representatives from all
sections of the state. The recon
struction program, which will be
adopted earlier in the week by the
State Federation Of Labor, will be
submitted for the consideration of
he reconstruction congress.
Takes Step Back
Controversy over the metal trades
44-hour week threatens to disturb
industrial conditions, which have
been fairly peaceful for several
months. All employers have ac-
copied the short day on Saturday
except the Willamette Iron & Steel
Company, which has discharged
number of men who refused to work
Saturday afternoons. This COM
pany manufactures equipment for
most of the shipyards in the Co.
lumbia River district, and if a
strike is declared against it and its
products placed on the unfair list
the employees in large number of
yards would refuse to handle equip
litCIlC SOIIlllS OIIl IIdI SOuICG.
The workers are standing firm
ly by their demand for reinstate-
ment of all discharged men. The
matter has been referred to the in
dustrial relations committee, body
composed of employees and employ
ers. Conferences are being held
with the management Of the Viii
lamette Company to induce it to
change its attitude, which has al
ways been one of discrimination
against union men.
Disque Overplayed

! Donald of the underwriters is in
Portland. reorganizing the workers
in that industry, Great interest is
being shown by the unorganized
workers, and the return of many
men to the industry who now hold
membership in unions of other crafts
will greatly stimulate the growth in
the next few months. Disques' en-
ployers' aid club is not being taken
seriously by even the non-union
men. Their knowledge of what has
transpired under Disque's admins
tration will not tend to make them
over-anXious for a continuation of
the dictatorship.

is being launched by W. C. Klein,

Uncle Sam Studying
Age of Fish Family

To study the age of fish and the ex-
tent of their migrations, the Federal
government is conducting through the
zoology department. of the University
Of Wisconsin a series of experiments
in which thousands Of fish are being
tagged and recorded.
Fish of all kinds are caught in the
Madison lakes, measured, weighed,
recorded and put back into the water
at the spot at which they were caught.
Metal tabs are attached to their gill
covers to identify them. Samples of
their scales are filed with their records,
since age may be determined by the
rings on their scales. When they are
caught again, the tags and records will
indicate how far they have migrated.
About 1900 fish have been tagged
and placed in the Madison lakes in the
last two years.
