ADAMSON LAW CRITICISED
Complaint Comes From Non-Partisan
Ranks of Workers Numbering
16,000 Members.
Chicago, Oct. 20. The Railway
Workers Non-Partisan association,
which is said to have 16,000 members,
today announced its opposition to the
.Adamson eight hour law. Through
its national chairman, W. J. Pinkerton
of Chicago, the association addressed
a circular letter to W. G. Lee, presi
dent of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen, in which the Adamson
eight hour law is described as "the
death knell of the economic organiza
tions, the railroad brotherhoods," and
a demand made that the measure be
repealed and a convention called to
make an invsetigation of the facts.
Four years ago, the organization
made a successful fight against the
Bradley Compensation law which was
opposed by the organizations of rail

"Congress must have known that a
crime was being perpetrated against
Democratic traditions," the letter
said, "when it forced a law on 400,000
citizens without giving them an op
portunity to discuss the merits of
such redical legislation as applied to
working agreements.
1 say that our representatives in
accepting the Adamson eight hour law
front congress traded certainty for un
certainty for uncertainty a law that
may take from the workingmen even
that which they now have."
Despondency.
When you feel discouraged and de
spondent do not give up but take a
dose of Chamberlain's Tablets and you
are almost certain to feel all right
within a day or two. Despondency is
very often due to indigestion and bil
iousness, for which these tablets are
especially valuable. Obtainable

reported for Union county officially
and took part in discussion during the j
late afternoon, Mrs. Thornton lead j
the memorial services this morning, j
A group of Indians, much interested j
in temperance, sang yesterday in:
their own jargon to the ladies. j
Mrs. Jennie M. Kemp of Portland!
was this afternoon re-elected presi
dent of the W. C. T. U. of Oregon in !
tribute to the great service she has
rendered the institution during her in
eumbeney. Mrs. Ward Swope of Port
land was elected vice-president at
large, Mrs. Mary ,D. Russell of Port
land was re-elected corresponding
secretary, Mrs. Madge Mears of
Shedd was re-elected recording secre
tary and Mrs. Margaret Houston of j
Portland was re-elected treasurer.
Though the election was scheduled
for Thursday morning it was post
poned until 1 yesterday . afternoon.
Two ballots were taken on each of-,
fice, the first being an informal and
nominating ballot. For president
quite a number, of ladies "were nomi
nated but on the second ballot there
was only one contender for the honor
besides Mrs. Kemp. The president re
ceived a total of 52 votes while Mrs.
Mary D. Mallett of Portland received
34.
Mrs. Henrietta Brown of Albany
has been vice-president at large but
illness prevented her attendance at
the convention and led to to -her de
clining to serve further. The election
of her successor was a friendly con
test between Mrs. Swope and Mrs. Ida
Marsters of Roseburg and the former
won by just one vote. She is not
here and a telegram of congratulation
was at once sent her.
A great part of the Friday morn
ing session was taken up with the re
ports of various department workers.
One of the important actions taken
this morning was the retention of the
old list of salaries for officers. There
had been some sentiment for a re
duction but the majority took the
stand that the "laborer is worth his
hire." The finance committee also
recommended new methods for
tleJ
rasing of more funds to the end that
all of the various departments of the
organizations will secure larger ap
propriations for the next year,
Indian Robe to Mrs. Kemp.
A feature of the banquet the first
evening was the presentation to Mrs.
Kemp, state president, of a beautiful
Pendleton Indian robe, the gift of the
Umatilla county union. It was given
her in recognition of iter splendid ef
forts for the cause.
The banquet, served in the base
ment of the Methodist church, was
largely attended Wednesday evening.
It was presided over very graciously
by Mrs. G. W. Rugg. Speeches of
welcome were made by Major J. A.
Best, representing the city; Judge S.
A. Lowell, representing the Commer
cial association; Supt. A. T. Park for
the schools, Mrs, E. T. Wade for the
Civic club, Mrs. ,W. D. McNary for

Take twenty square yards of sand
and pebbles, stir In sufficient elay to
make a compact water tight mass, ram
down hard and score the surface with
a rake. Add carefully ten packets of
seeds of the most magnificent flower
known that will grow anywhere and
under any conditions, throwing up a
continuous succession of enormous
flower trusses from March to Novem

of the richest and most glowing tints.
This is tbe commonest of all Sowers
and will be found listed on any page
of any florist's catalogue. Set tbe

MeKeau BuchaiiRB, a California tra
gedian in the olden days, was noted
for She roaring style iu which he play
ed Stmkcaucarertii characters, also for
his fondness for initiation and for
never paying Ills lawyers. J. Gordon
itastniau was posted as to this last pe
culiarity of the "great Shakespearean
delineator," as lie styled himself, and
when Buchanan, tilled with wrath at
an adverse criticism Jn a city paper,
determined to .sun the editor, burst into
tbe lawyer's otliee ami said, "Sir, l
wish to retain you," the man of the
low replied, "Awfully sorry, Mr. Bu
chanan, but I sim retained on tbe other
side." Knehaunn replied: "The otber
side! Whnt other side? Who has re
tained yon against ineV" The attorney
replied. "Shakespeare's ghost," And

that it would 1m? taken from him by
