Property owners who are protesting ncainst the well-nigrh impassable con dition of First street, will probably have to hear the expense of repairing- it. Three years ago, when the pavement was laid, the city guaranteed it for ten years, but it is asserted that the sections of the pavement now worn out were not guaranteed. New wooden blocks were not laid on all jiarts of the street because it was bnlieved that the old ones were good onough for the time being. It is said that it is the old blocks that are giving the trouble. Yesterday afternoon at a meeting of the executive board, a petition was presented by the First Street Improve ment Association asking the city to make good its guarantee, as the street from Madison to Stark street is in need of repairs. City Engineer Taylor stated that the old pavement was the source of the trouble. City Attorney McNary declared that he did not be lieve the city had authority to make the improvements asked. The matter was referred to the street committee of the executive board. The report of Chief Campbell and Teputy Fire Marshal Roberts was read. It states, among other things, that the electric wiring of the City .Hall is defective. Many features of the wiring system were condemned in the report, and immediate steps will .be taken to remedy the defects. The re port says it will cost approximately jlOOO to make the alterations. The re port was referred to the City Hall committee, and the Council will be asked to make an appropriation to cover the expenditure.

DECLARES THE TITLE LEGAL EQUAL SUFFRAGE VALID NAME, SAYS ATTORNEY-GENERAL. Women Were Alarmed Over Report That Such Title Would Make Amendment Illegal, The members of the State Suffrage As sociation had something of a scare last week, when it was unofficially reported to them that the title Equfi.l Suffrage" for their proposed amendment was not legal, and even if carried by the vote of the state would not be valid, but that the title should be "Woman's Suffrage." This meant, apparently, that all the signers of the petitions which have been circulated since the defeat at the last election would have to be approached again and the long list of names which have been secured would have to be made up and verilied all over. At the meeting of the association last week the matter was quietly discussed and it was determined to ask the State Attorney-General for an official opinion, and this was accordingly done. Mr. Craw-' ford has answered, putting all fears of the suffragists at rest, for it transpires that the scare was created only by the in quiry of a suffragist of Coos Bay, who thought he would like the term of woman suffrage better than equal suffrage. The letter of Mr. Crawford to Mrs. Duniway is self-explanatory: "Salem, Or., Nov. 19. 1906. Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway, President Oregon State Equal Suffrage Association, 292 Clay street, Portland, Or. Dear Madam: Re plying to yours of this date, relative to a formula of petition for equal suffrage amendment and stating that you have been informed that the same must be woman suffrage amendment, or words to that effect, permit me to say that your informant is mistaken. We informed the equal suffragists of Coos County that they could not change a petition after it had been circulated. In other words, after the petition was signed, then it could not be changed, because the signers of the pe titions are fixing their signatures to a certain statement which they are sup posed to have read and examined for themselves, and they sign that petition re questing that that matter be enacted into law. Therefore this office held that no one had any right to change the wording of the proposed amendment after it had been signed. If a change is desired, then a new petition would necessarily have to be circulated. However, as to the form ula or heading to go on the ballot, at the last election it read: 'For Equal Suffrage Constitutional Amendment," and the amendment was entitled 'Equal Suffrage Amendment.' I am of the opinion that it was sufficient, and I am also of the opin ion that if it is entitled 'woman suffrage amendment' it would also be sufficient and legal In either case. Very respectfully yours, A. M. CRAWFORD. "Attorney-General." "A thing that pleased me very much in this matter," said Mrs. Duniway yester day, "was the prompt offer of a number of our prominent members to begin the arduous work of securing signers to the petitions all over. They did not hesitate, but immediately offered to begin on new lists. We have secured fully the number of names required something like 8000 but all the lists have not yet been veri fied, as this takes some time. The suf fragists are not letting any grass grow under their feet this year, and we arc most hopeful of flne results." FEDERATED TRADES MEETS Conventions to Organize Labor Party Called for Next Friday Night. During the regular course of business at the Federated Trades Council meeting last evening the formal launching of the proposed union political party was the principal topic of discussion, and the plans promulgated met with the entire approval of all delegates present. Per manent organization of the party will be effected at a meeting to be held in Union Hall, Second and Stark streets, next Friday evening. Delegates from 53 unions in Portland will take part In the convention. The good roads' committee appointed at the last meeting of the Federated Trades Council a week ago reported that it had conferred with the State, Good Roads Commission at County Judge Webster's office and that the plan advocated by union labor met with some indorsement by the commission. Several clauses in troduced by the labor delegates relative to the working of state prisoners on the roads ' were incorporated in the articles drawn up by the commission, and the proposals will be further discussed at the meeting to be held at the same place next Monday evening. The council acted on a bill to be in troduced at the next session of the Legis lature providing for the creation of a commission to devise remedial legislation restricting special privileges of corpora tions and to provide for the repealing of laws and parts of laws that conflict with the proposed drafts. The ordinance now before the City Council presented by the Musicians' Union and providing for the repeal of the law against music in saloons was unanimously indorsed, as it was shown that music is permitted by the city in the Hotel Portland and Hotel Oregon. An outline of a proposed bill to be. pre sented by the Miners' Union of Bourne. Or., at the next session of the Legisla ture providing for the appointment of a State Mining Inspector, was read before the meeting. No definite action ,was taken, but a committee was appointed to inquire into the merits of the measure. A, movement is on foot to revive in terest in the Building Trades Council, which organization has been in a dor mant state ever since the building trades strike three years ago. The organization has not gone out of existence, but meet ings are no longer held. W. H. Fitzgerald, secretary of the council, was appointed business agent at a stipulated salary, and will devote his entire time to the business of the coun cil and kindred organizations. . UNDERWEAR SALE.
