LABOR PASSED IN SENATE Joseph objected to tlio Abraham amendment, saying that the Somite should not shirk a duty anil attempt to make the labor commissioner re sponsible. Miller objected that the amendment was offered without unani mous consent, whereupon Abraham changed his motion to refer the bill back to the committee, with Instruc tions to Incorporate the amendment to the orginnl bill, but (be motion was lost. Slnnott supported the bill. He said the same objections were always urged for the defeat of these sort of measures, and that factories could easily adjust their business to altered conditions. Albee said the condition was not one of dollars and cents, but of humanity. I "The fight to elevate labor Is on throughout the world," ho said.

The follow ing ordinances were introduced and read first time. To prevent the spread of disease. Governing the width of sidewalks, Regulating traffic on streets and the speed of automobiles.

These ordinances are modeled after i that all apples must lie packed at the warehouse of the 1'nlon or else by Cnlon packers. Tho I'tilon will choose packers and Instruct them In the work.

This meeting will be presided over by the president of the fnlon, ('. W. Waldron, and all farmers and fruit growers are urged to be present. There will be a pro gram and talks on grading apples and potatoes. The business of the Cnlon Is Blurt ing off very satisfactory and It Is the wish of those Interested In lhj work j that the I'nion Is to accomplish that as many Join as possible. "In union there Is strength" and the more melic hers the better equipped the I'tilon will bo to enforce Its dsmands for bet ter prices and prompt settlements. It Is the belief of those who have studied the matter of growers' unions that the Oregon City I'lilmi has a bright future before it. As it has the experience of oihers to go by It Is the general belief that this I'nion will got Into good working order with few er errors to its credit than many nuother.

So the city's oppor tunity passes; It Is fated to remain Inconvenient, unhealthful and com monplace, whereas, if thought had been expended on It In time, It might have been a comfort and a J y to generations of loyal, devoted citizens. The St. Pain papers of December 19 recite the activity just developed In that city in the way for the city's beautiflcallon and permanent Im provement.
