The city was covered with a blanket of white at least three inches thick at 4 o'clock this morning, and the indications were the snow would continue to fall fo.- several hours atleast. l,The weather man says it may continue all day but warmer weather is pre dicted. It began snowing about 7:30 o'clock last .night. There was a moderation of several degrees about midnight and the snowfall may turn into a welcomed rain. All of the eastern portion of the state experienced lower temperatures than any other section of Oregon Mon day though the cold snap was wide spread and Oregon City had her share with a minimum temperature of about 25 degrees.

T TO CHANGE TARIFF WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. A score of manufacturers, importers and repre sentatives of other interests affected by customs charges aired their grie ances before the House committee on ways and means today in the first of a series of hearings preliminary to the sharp revision of the Payne-Ald-rich tariff law in the coming extra ses sion of Congress. The discussion ranged from poker chips 'o sponges and from caustic-potash to laundry soap.

SNOW COVERS CITY UNIONS DEFENDED BY LABOR HEAD SAMUEL GOMPERS DECLARES THEY ARE NO WORSE THAN MANUFACTURERS JUDGE UNFAIR, SPEAKER'S CHARGE Organizations that Lab.or Men Fought are Attacked Iron Work- ers not to be Re- pudiated WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Fedenjion of Labor, speaking before the Senate committee on judiciary, in favor of the Clayton anti-injunction and contempt bills, gave answer to criticisms of the trial and conviction for dynamiting, of officers tf tne Structural Iron Workers' Union. "If ever the time shall come," said Gompers in" the climax of his ad dress, '"when government by dyna, mite shall be attempted and let us hope and work that it shall never come it will have as its main cause the theory and policy upon which is based government by injunction, per sonal government foistered upon our people instead of a government by law." In closing his statement, which in cluded an assault upon employers and manufacturers' associaltions, particu larly the United States Steel Corpor ation and the National Erectors' As sociation, Gompers declared that or ganized labor would not repudiate the Stuctural Iron Workers' Unions, "and leave them helpless and at the mercy of organized capital and insat iable, uncurbed greed for profits:' "Though all censure those whom men mad deem guilty of dynamite conspiracy," the Federation leader continued, "none- feels the terrible consequences of the Indianapolis trial more keenly than the men of organized labor. There have been ad ded heartache and sorrow to our al ready heavy burdens. The men ac cused and sentenced cannot suffer the penalties alone upon them and all workinyrnien fall the suffering aud penalty. "But what of the conspiracy of or ganized capital the conspiracy to murder the liberty of the toilers, to tear from them means of protection by which they have bettered their condition, to leave them bare and de fenseless in the competive struggle? Is not such a conspiracy sufficiently dastaidly to incur some odium? should the conspirators, with , their hands stained with life blood of man's am bition, liberty, happiness, be accord ed nothing but honor, power, respec tability? Should they be allowed to continue to manipulate the powers of government the administration of justice until the oppressed find the burden intolerable? "More wise it is to seek social jus tice while yet we may. The judge who presided at the trial realized one of the issutes government by injunc tion, lawless, autocratic, irresponsible exercise of governmental authority, according privileges to the strong and denying justice to the weak." Judge Anderson, who presided over the trial of the ironworkers, was re ferred to particularly by Gompers, when he declared that "Our whole social organization seems to be on trial."

SHAW WINS POINT IN SALARY SUIT COURT DECLINES TO ENJOIN CITY TRAESURER FROM PAY ING MONEY CASE TO BE HEARD ON COMPLAINT Lawyers for Police Chief Argue that Client Did Work and Is En-V titled to Pay ment Circuit Judge Eakin Monday declin ed to grant a temporary injunction asked by Grant B. Dimick, ev-mayor, against M. D Latourette, city treas urer, paying the salary warrants of E. L. Shaw. This is considered a vic tory by Shaw, who acted as chief of police and - jailer during the admin istration of Mayor Dimick, although the mayor declined to appoint Shaw chief. Shaw was represented by W. M. Stone, city attorney and J. E. Hedges, special counsel. Judge Eakin announced, in declin ing to grant the injunction, that he would take the complaint under ad visement. Messrs. Stone and Hedfres contended that the suit should have t been against the city and not against ! tne city treasurer. Charles E. Burns, appointed chief by Mayor Dimick, served four months, when he resign ed and filed suit against the city for his salary. Judge Eakin decided in asmuch as the appointment had not been approved by the council, Burns was not chief and consequently not entitled to salary. Shaw meanwhile had been appointed jailer by the council. Judge Eakin recently decided that Shaw was not chief of police during the Dimick administration, because he had been dismissed by the mayor, although the council had fought tor his being retained. Shaw, how ever, has disposed of his warrants, and bis counsel and himself are con fident the court will decide thev are valid inasmuch as he has not only performed the duties of chief of po lice but served as iailo'r throughout the year. The ordinance passed by the council creating the office of jail er provided for a salary of 100 a month, the same as the chief re ceives.
