LOS ANGELES, Dec. 6.-Elgin
Pittman, of Oregon, sat in the coun-
ty jail today facing . charge, of
having murdered shfs wife, while the
woman who claims she is his legal
mate and very much alive sought
to prove her identify. - !. sss -
In a strange tangle which cannot
be unsnarled until authorities ar.
rive from the north, Pittman deni-
ed the charge, ard declared the
woman with him his wife, and the
onlytone he ever had.
y While ''back home,' in Eagle
Valley, Ore, Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur
Rogers. await the clearing of the
mystery, wondering if the body
sthey buried five, months ago as that
of theirs daughter could have beer
the remains of some unknown. e
Pittman's story is that he, Mar
ried, Edna Rogers in 1920. They liv-
ed, he claims, in 'Pendleton and Eu-
gene, Oregon, later coming south
together, and finally settling there.
Pittman was arrested on tele-
graph warrant from Pendleton,
charging him with having killed his
wife. A body identified by the
woman S parents was found in the
Columbia river near Wallua, Wash,
some months ago, mourned over
and buried. Pittman could not be
found, and his arrest was ordered.
Officers here are inclined to be,

feel sure the body found in the
Columbia was that of another wo-

On Friday the convention was ad-

Commander Schwwellenbach on intro

warm tribute to organized labor in the

of the State Federation of Labor.

More farmers buy and sell comparatively in Minnesota

During the past three years this has made
large gains in Minnesota and it is declared reasonable
innate that considerably than threeffths of all the
farmers interested some in organizations
that eliminate the mddeman.

COUNCIL
CHANGES ITS POLICY
Predict Defeat Of Resolution at Next
Meeting Of Council.

By a majority of three votes the
Portland Central Labor Council en-
dorsed a labor political party and in
structed its delegates to the Americ an
Federation of Labor convention to
introduce and support in the conven-
ton resolution looking to the organ
ization of labor's own political party.
The resolution introduced was signed
by four delegates to the council
President Won Schriltz, who is the
councils delegate to the Federation's
convention is opposed to the resolu-
ton, which places him IN a position
Of supporting a proposition which he
can not personally endorse.
1t is reported that the attendance
at the meeting was small and with
full attendance the resolution will
be defeaed it was predicted. The
American Federation of Labor has
recommended non-partisan political
action. and that policy will not be
changed without struggle on the con-
yention floor. The recent victory of
Magnus Johnson on aa Farmer-Labor
party ticket against the two old par
ties is expected to provide argument
for the delegates supporting partisan
politics.
The resolution introduced in the
Portland Council was not drawn up by
any Of the organizations affiliated
with it, but by four Of the delegates
of local organizations, and introduced
by Martin Mathers of the Carpenters
union. who admitted that the union
had not instructed him to introduce
a resolution of this nature.
Organized labor is making rapid
progress by following the non-partisan
policy while moves thru partisan pol
itics have always resulted in failure.
therefore the move of the Portland
Council seems uncalled for and en-
tirely out of place.

BAKERS DELEGATE
ENJOYING SUNSHINE

Mr.. Andrew Winberg, the Bakery &
Confectionery Workers representa-

in session at Los Angeles, writes that
he is enjoying every moment of his
leisure time. The first of this week
a number of buses were hired by the
delegates to the convention and nu-
merous places Of interest in the state
noted for its sunshine were visited.
He has not reported the action OF the
convention as he is too busy to take
the time to write. He will make a
full report when he arrives home, aft

American Federation in Portland.

'The same trend of things is true
with regard to wages. The purchasing
power of the pay envelope is 10 per
cent higher than a year ago and "a
per cent above the level of July, 1914.
But the rise in wages now appears to
have come to halt. Not only that,
the cost of commodities is once more
rising, after period of hesitation.
This results in decreased buying
power of the present scales of wages.
This being the case it will not take
leng before the gains for labor re-
suil1ig from the recent wave of pros
perity will be wiped out
In general it may be said that the
slight improvement in the condition
of the worker during the past year
went chiefly to the unskilled worker
who is also unorganized. The gains
made were therefore not due to bar
gaining power, but to unusually IA
vorable conditions of demand for la
Dor. With this demand now show
ing signs of falling away the gains will
be ruthlessly wiped out, and the les
son will be burned in once more that
only through organized bargaining
power can permanent gains be made.

RESEARCH BUREAU
FEARS DEPRESSION

After a study of industrial condi.
lions, the research department of the
Farmer-Labor Legau bureau OF Port
lana, Oregon, warns workers Of an
impending industrial depression.
In a statement issued last week,
the bureau says:
''The coming winter promises to
prove to the workers of the country
that prosperity not based on the pow
er Of their own organizations is fleet
ing and worthless. One is forced to
this conclusion when the achieve
ments Of the past year are reviewed
and the prospects for the immediate
future examined.
The steady decrease in unemploy-
ment which has been noted during the
entire recent burst of prosperity has
now definitely come to halt. Not only
that, but a few scattering reports
show slight increase in unemploy-
ment The close of the harvest peri
cd, unless balanced by increased in
dustrial demand will see a tremen-
dous addition to the unemployment
figures. And the preparation that
many industries are making for an
other period of industrial depression
certainly does not promise an increas-
ed industrial demand.
