Reports From All Parts of State Show
That Cold Snap Is Widespread
Warmer Weather Is
Forecast
Oregon City is in the grip of the
worst snow storm, it has experienced
for at least two years. 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.
In several sections of the state7
snow is reported to be falling and it
appears that the temperatures are
moderating at all points which have
experienced a touch of the real old
time Winter.
Southwest winds gave Seattle a
continuous snowfall Monday and by
8 o'clock officially four inches of
snow covered the city, varying in
depth with drifts. Weather condi
tions of exactly a year ago are dup
licated. More snow is predicted. Ice
formted in various ponds near or
within Seattle's city limits and there
was skating on Beacon Hill.
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. The burden of
the arguments was the maintenance
of the present tariff instead of the
changes proposed by the Democrats
along the line of the terms of the
chemical tariff revision bill put
through both houses to a White
House veto last year.
IN RECORDER'S OFFICE
The county court by refusing to al
low the salary of L. P. Williams, who
save up his work as county recorder
about nine months ago, has saved
the county $900. The court held that
inasmuch as the county has been with
out a recorder the salary should not
be paid. Mr. Williams' deputies with
the aid of an assistant during rush
months have attended to the busi-1
ness cf the office in a manner pleas
ing to the county court and all per
sons having business with the record
er's office. E. P. Dedman, elected re
corder at the last election assumed
the duties of the office Monday, re
taining all of the deputies except Miss
Nell Dorby, who is soon to become a

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.
