A special meeting of the Federal Labor Union has been called for to night to consider the matter of in creased ry in the paper mills. The sentiment of many of the men seem to be in favor of a 10-honr day and pay for overtime. The question was dis cussed at the regular meeting last Monday night but no action was taken. The men will probably ask for a bi weekly pay-day. as in the Crown Paper Company. The Willamette Pulp & Paper Company will undoubtedly grant such a demand, but it is a ques tion whether a 10-hour day will be given favorable consideration by either company. An attempt was made to burglarize the house of Mrs.- Davenport,- near Galdstone, last Thursday night, but the thieves were frightened away be foro securing anything of value.
