I y ordinance the employment of Aniorl can white citizens, and its own citi zens if possible, for all public won Its with a minimum wage of $2.50. Nat urally the more talented and more in dustrious men get more money, This Is a fact which regulates buslnes.s as most employers will keep the . bst men.. This city as well as others con sists of laboring, business men ,an1 professioal onos. ..The business, men ! want the other one's trade and that trade Is no good without the trndor i Is able to pay. Now it you wnr-t to give a good chnnce to labor: to pay for goods bought in La Grande, to let them . get your money and you gt theirs, employ home people whenovor possible. The workman will citKnr spend his money here or keep It here, if this is worked out as it should be. This plan not only supports more peo ple hut It builds more homes, makes more , well-to-do people ; happier; makes a bigger, better La Grande with a better class of people. ' It looks all right to Bhip labor in because -the workman who Is shipped In works for 1-5 pr 1-4 less wages and then claims he docs as much work per day.--In case he does, he eats while here but that Is all. lie sometimes buys a lit tle something to wear, -but the main part of what he earns he sends away or takoB with him when he leaves La Grande. : On the other hands our own citizens who could, and should do. the work, aro- unable to pay their bills for want of work. Other cities have done 'it, Let us try it right now. .-. , - - - yours respectfully, .,.''",:. M. - -ALLEGED FORGER CAUGHT. Baker Official Receives n Suspected frlminal from Elgin.
