MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, arEDFQIil), OREGON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 26, 1911. PAGE THREE t v HESITATE TO OFFEND JAPAN California Legislature Strikes Out Reference to Foreign Fleet, In Asking Congress for Pacific Coast Squadron. SACRAMENTO, Cal., Jan. 2G. Afraid of offering an affront to Ja pan, the federal relations' committee of the atate assombly struck out all reference to the "Pacific fleets of other nations" In a resolution calling upon congress to send a battleship fleet to this coast. In reporting the resolution today the committee makes only a modest request for warships and refuses entirely to report a rec ommendation on the resolution ask ing for more stringent exclusion laws. Assemblyman Wilson o( Yolo coun ty, who Introduced the resolution for memorials to congress, was sharply rebuked In the committee for what was termed an effort to stir up In ternational trouble. He Insisted upon asking congress for warships, so the committee killed the sentence In the resolution asking that the Pacific fleet be made ns Btrong as the fleet of any other nation of the Pacific. Wilson attempted to get the Immi gration resolution out of conimttec, but was told that the present exclu son law was satisfactory. Assemblyman Cogswell said that Chinamen aro needed In southern California to pick walnuts and per form other cheap labor. Wilson replied that the farmers of the northern part of tho stato are sat isfied with white labor and would ex clude nil Asiatics. Deadlock In Iowa. DES MOINES, In., Jan. 20.

PLAY MADE HIT: THO' CAST POOR George Broatlhurst's Great Play, "The Man of the Hour" Satisfied Big "Audiences Despite Poor Cast Presenting It. The subject of Municipal graft, with all its accompanying trickeries herved to amuse n largo and well sui'tibfied audience at the Mcdl'ord opera housso last night when George 13roudhur.-t's strong play, "The Mun of the Hour," was presented by a very mediocre company. With the exception of the roles ol the two bofeae.-, llachurd Ilarrigan and James Phelan played by Messrs. John Moore and John Morris respec tively, most of the chnrneters went through their parts in n weak sort of mechanical fashion and their voices, especially in tho stronger scenes of the play, liurdly reached over tho footlights. Mcdfunl will always welcome a re turn of "The Man of tho Hour" it, with the pos&iblo exception of the Dooley-like "bosse" of last night the cast is materially strengthenol The next attraction billed is the "Gentleman From Mississippi," a story dealing with senatorial life in the nntJQn.ul capital.

ItfEY IS FRIEND TO LABOR UNIONS Carpenters Threaten to Refuse to Work On Schpol Houses Because Plumbing Contract Is Let to an Open Shop Man. Because the school board let tho contract for the plumbing of the two new schoolhouses to W. A. Altkcn, union men may refuse to work on the building, as Mr. Altkcn has no agree ment with tho plumbers' union. It was reported toda ythat tho car penters of tho city, nearly every one of hem union men, would notify Al frey lvey, the contractor, that they could not work on tho buildings. Thoy havo not so notified him, hovevcr. Mr. Ivey himself Is a strong advo cate of union labor and only employs union men, and as he had nothing to do with the lotting of the contract for tho plumbing, he feels that ho will be damaged, through no fault of his own, If the men decline to work on tho buildings. , Tho carpenters have not ns yet taken a definite stand In regnrd to the matter, and nffnirs may yot bo amicably adjusted. It may bo that inasmuch as Mr. Ivey himself had nothing to d,o with tho letting of tho contract, that thoy will agree to work. Work Is now under way, grading and excavating. It is planned to rush the erection of the buildings. Nature Djd It Well, Too. (Tho Oregonlan.) No. It can hardly bo snid that Mrs. Potter Palmer of Chicago made Rogue River valley famous.
