A union in Troutdale voted unanimously for the changes, but failed to ow.ke known what union it was. This is also the case with a union in Oregon City, with the exception that it voted 20 for and 38 against the first propo sition, and 50 for and 8 against the second proposition. The returns, therefore, give an overwhelming majority of the votes cast in favor of the changes. II. G. KUNDRET, Secretary-Treasurer. Address, Room 8, 231% Washington St., Portland, Or.
