w d. Lyman made an eloquent plea
to the effect that Walla Walla had
been talking water grade for years,
and that Portland was entitled to the
benefit of the advantage of her loca-

VIM. Eirkman countered by saying
that Professor Lyman had been for
years talking the benefits of water
transportation and that the only way
Walla Walla county would ever get
water transportation was by compell-
ing Portland to put on a boat line in
order to get the business of the inland

CENTER PARKING PLAN
WORKING, MAYOR SAYS

The center parking idea on Main
street is going to be a success, in the
opinion of Mayor John Vaughan. OPP
lposition which was first heard against
the idea is disappearing, the mayor
said this afternoon, and most of the
comment is now in favor of the
scheme.
| One of the chief sources of com
plaint was the auto demonstrating fra
ternity. With two lanes on the main
ithoroughfare, a new car cannot at
tract the attention it would while
gliding down the center of the street.
it is said.
1--WE can drive along Main street
and see in the store windows now"
one family head said today. Others
also like the idea of driving alongside
the curb to load and unload Many
would like a short time limit allowed
for machines to stop at the curb and
allow their occupants to enter the
shops and make their purchases with
out having to park in the center space.
A cleaner Main street is possible
with the new system as the flusher can
get. at the curbs at any hour of the
day Fewer auto tenders are being
bent under the new system. also. An
other advantage is seen in the turn
ing of corners into Main street. When
cars are parked right up to the lane
for pedestrians, cars making the turn
cannot very well draw over to the left
side of the street, or they will collide
with parked cars. Should public sem
timent show the plan to be perfectly
feasible an ordinance changing to the !
center parking on Main and Court
streets will be presented for passage.

WALI,A WALI4A, WASH, Feb, 26.-
ranchers of Walla Walla and vicinity
went on record last night as opposed
TO the report of the examiner of the
Interstate commerce commission rec
ommending an increase of freight
rates to Sound Ports and Astoria, and
also against any preferential in favor
OF Portland.
The votes by which this action was
taken followed about three hours of
animated and at times acrid discuss
sion.
The meeting was called to order by
Vice President Henry Drum of tho
Commercial club, in the absence of
John w. Langdon, president of the
club.
Mr.. Drum introduced O. O. Calder
head, rate expert of the Washington
public service commission: who reeited
the events leading up to the report of
the special examiner who was assigned
to investigate the petition of Port
land and Vancouver for "A dlfferential
against Seattle, Tacoma and other
Sound ports and Astoria
This report found that the present
rates from the Inland Empire points
To Portland are reasonable. but also
found that Portland was entitled to n
rate not to exceed 90 per cent of the
Sound rate. which in effect was or
dering raise of IFS per cent for
Sound points.
Mr.. Calderhead said the question be-
fore the people Of Walla Walla was
practically whether or not they want

believed that the elimination of Sound

From this it must not be inferred
that they took direct orders from
some one to change their mind; that
would be a mistake. The American
slave has deep seated delusions Of
freedom. The Masters know this too
well ever to comand him directly to
alter his views if they can find another
way out. When ever the worker has
stampeded little in the direction
of truth, they do not as a rule tell him
to close his eyes to the vision and

The New Gospel.

Iue NeW 0osptl.
At conference of radically inclined
miners, it was decided to send Collins
as their representative to the coming
convention of the Industrial Workers
of the World. Due to the agitation
continually carried on by socialists
and industrialists within the union,
and also to the failure of the recent
strikes to attain anything like ADEQUATE
results, there seemed to be a strong
sentiment among the rank and file
for different, and more effective,
form of organization. 1t was this
sentiment that Collins and his cowork.
ers were trying to ripen into a move
nent for industrial unionism. SINGER
ely believing, that if all the crafts
in the metaliferous industries would
be so organized as to act as = unit,
in any dispute with their masters,
that then, they would have sufficient
power to enforce their demands at any
and all times.
Needless to say, this idea did not
meet with the appreciation of the
mine owners, who left no stone un-
turned to conteract this tendency
among the workers. But strong as their
counter propaganda Of the mine own
ers was, it was scarcely more formid-
able then the opposition that arose
from the petty officialdom attached
to the crafts with in the federation.
These men considered themselves as
graduated out Of the ranks Of labor;
they constituted group economically
interested in preserving the status quo.
Of the unions, to which they belonged.
With rare exceptions, this officialdom,
thru out all organized labor may be
fifty called "the brake on the wheel
Of progress" At this time, as ever
they rivalled the Industrial Barons in
their acrimonious assault upon the
preachers Of the new gospel of In.
dustrial Solidarity. What Bill Haywood,
after his release, was wont to say con.
serning the souls of detectives, might
even at this time be applied to a
goodly number Of these Changers OF"
Of the working class.
In spite Of opposition from within and
without, the sentiment for industrial
organization was growing apace, and
the leaders Of the radical agitation,
their vision colored by their hopes
and their ambitions, predicted for 1t
speedy and complete triumph. They
forgot however, that they themselves
were what we have called "black
sheep" that is, they reacted different.
