RETURN FROM
TRIP TO EAST
six-round boxing matches will be
held, with Harry Eagles, of Pendle
ton, fighting Gerald Butcher, of La
Grande; and Winnie Myers, of Union,
meeting Ralph Depew. of Pendleton.
All are good scrappers, and an un
usually large crowd Is expected.
Sports fans declare no finer card
has ever been offered In the north
west, than the double main event,
and are certain that It will be one
of the outstanding matches of the
year, Portland was attempting to get
the Reed-MaGulre match, but It was
offered La Grande during the cele
bration.
Miss Effle Snider and Miss Blanche
Spears, both teachers In the city
schools, returned to La Orande Fri
day morning after an absence of ex
actly a month during which time
they were on a trip through the
middlewest and the east. From here
they went to Chicago for a week at
the Century of Progress, which they
found fascinating, but their next stop
at Washington, D. C was the
highlight of the entire trip. While
It was exceedingly hot, still the
places of public and historic Interest
and the National Educational asso
ciation then In session, made one
entirely forget the heat, they Insist.
While attending one of the educa
tional meetings they met Miss Alta
Llllle of the La Grande High school
faculty, and the three had a couple
of days together. After leaving
Washington, there were three days In
New York, a trip by boat to Fall
River, Mass., and then on to Boston,
back to Buffalo, N. Y., and Niagara
Falls. From Erie, Pa., they went by
boat across Lake Erie to Detroit,
Mich., then back through Chicago
and to Minneapolis and here at the
Twin Cities they encountered their
first rain, which was gratefully re
ceived. Going north, they entered
Canada and returned by the Cana- 1
dian Pacific to Spokane and on home.
It was a delightful experience ,
throughout, they state. Miss Spears
Is going on from La Grande to Port
land where she will be for the re
mainder of the summer.

No loIence Reported
There was no violence yesterday
and none during the early morning
hours today. Over the harbor ac
tivity under guard of regular police
and sheriff's deputies was the warn
ing that should any disorders arise,
nearby national guardsmen would
sweep Into the city to crush dis
turbance. Labor leaders still talked
of a general strike, and the strike
"strategy" committee was In con
tinuous session.
Labor leaders expressed hope for
Bpeedy settlement of the marine
workers' strike, but laid plans for a
poFslble general strike Monday.
The strike would be revolt against
"industrial autocracy," not "insur
rection against government," declared
Ben T, Osborne, executive secretary
of the Oregon Federation of Labor.
Three representatives from each
Portland union will meet Sunday
morning. The strike strategy com
mittee promised 24 hours' notice If
a strike Is called.
Osborne said the strike would be
ore of passive resistance, but effec
tive. Labor would stand with its
arms folded, he said.
