Business men hav eduty to perofrm in attending; this meeting; , Enthused with the gospel of Ore gonlsm and already pleased with the progress La Grande has made com mercially, "Tom" Richardson of Port land arrived In this city this morn ing from Baker City, where last night he conducted one of the most enthusiastic meetings in Eastern Ore gon, and Is ready to "preach" the gos pel of this great commonwealth of Oregon, at a meeting tonight in the new tabernacle. 1 . The revival management has turn ed over the early part cf the evening to the Commercial Club that ' Mr. Richardson may .have a large at tendance, and as the churches have done this, it , behooves the business men to show their Interest in this commercial meeting, " by being on hand promptly at 7:30 o'clock to night Religious songs and services will follow the booster meeting. "La Grande and Eastern Oregon are not . getting their share of the mmigranta coming to Oregon" said Mr. Richardson today, "and we will discuss some of the features In this connection." Richardson la popular here; his line of "talk" la always straight from TONIGHT the shoulder, sure to strike true andjd ill U;,n. ..ilifi, a lit! - w L. yi . it i a f k it v" About.

Chicago, March , 15.Although a general strike of 25,000 firemen has been called by officials of the Bro therhood, it appears probable today that an actual walkout of the men would not be ordered before the end of the week. The delay Is for the purpose of allowing the Pacflc coast Union .officials to reach their homes to direct operations there. The date will be announced late today. The decision to strike was reached at midnight, following the rejection of tbe: flremeh's demands by the gen eral managers, who met. In Chicago. Apparently the only hops of, pre venting the strike is federal inter-' ventlon. Railroads have telegraphed the request to Chairman Knapp of the Interstate : Commerce Commis sion and Labor Commissioner Nell to act as mediators. The men de mand a general Increase of 12-1-2 per cent. ' , . Asiong the lines affected are the Southern Pacific, Oregon Short Line, O. R, & N., Union Pacific Northern Pacific, Great Northern and Milwau kee roads.;T;,:,1. ,: Approximately 100 firemen will be affected by the strike orders, should they be . issued, as is now a very threatening indication. Locally fire men have nothing to say, because they know nothing of the progress of the strike negotiations, Those who belong to the Brotherhood here will, of course, be ordered out should the strike orders come, but as to the day of the event they know nothing.

Harris is to present here at the Steward soon, Mr. Klein, t'-e author, has not only treated the so ciological problem In a forceful, in telligent an dconvlucing manner but he has written a play of compelling human interest telling a story u brisk in action, complete in dramatla Interest and so admirable in charae ter portraiture that the attendtloa and sympathy of his audience Is con stantly retained. It may be said with out the least fear of contradiction that the "Lion and the Mouse" as a drama stands paramount today la. theatrical annals, ROOSEVELT DRESSED UP LIKE GENTLEMAN FOR TIIE FIRST f TIJIE IN TEN MONTHS v Colonel, wife and daughter tour e!t : of Khartoum In automobiles ' ' Khartoum, March 15.
