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

Carte rof the Brotherhosd said they
woili frobably a?ree te nedlat!a
and vreveat a sbrlke.
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. In
