TTIE 3IORXIXG- OREGOMAX, FRIDAY, APRIL L, 1, 1910. , r 4 BIGHT TO WOBK IS SLOGAN OF LABOR British Party Frankly Avows Aim to Force Radical So cialist Scheme. NATION MUST FEED IDLE Approaching: Conference of T'nions Will Give Orders to Party in Par liament and"1 Many Radicals May Support It. LONDON. March 31. (Special.) What ever attitude may be adopted by the Labor representatives in the newly elected Parliament, there can be little doubt that the position which the gov ernment may be disposed to take up in reference to the right-to-work bill will prove the great test by which any wrking alliance between Rad icalism and Labor must stand or fall. Of the Labor party's interest In the measure there Is no room for doubt. The unemployed workmen bill is for the moment the charter of the Social ist group In Parliament. By it all members of the party swear. Indeed, It is something of a shibboleth. Even supposing the recently elected Labor members of Parliament were inclined to paltjer with the question out of re gard to the exigencies of the situation which confronts all parties in the new House, their constituents throughout the country would have none of it. Of that matter a good deal will be heard at the annual conference of the Labor party at Newport. Socialism I-Yankly Admitted. The "bill to provide work through public authorities for unemployed per sons" is Socialistic in its provisions and its supporters care not who knows it. On two occasions at least in the last Parliament the bill proceeded to a second reading and was rejected by substantial majorities. It is significant that the rejection of the measure" was moved, not by a member of the gov ernment, but by a private Radical member, Mr. Maddison. John Burns had no Hesitation in condemning the bill. He declared that the House of Commons was being "asked to pursue a crude chimera of immature S cial- Many politicians are now asking whether the government will be able to assume so unflinchingly hostile an attitude to the bill in the new Parlia ment. How will the Radical cat jump? Labor men will extort some sort of parliamentary "consideration" for any complaisance they may assume. Never throughout the late general election campaign did the adherents of the Labor party lose sight of their pet measure by which local author! ties are to see to It that every will ing worker Is provided with employ mont. In constituencies where no rep resentative of militant labor was woo Ing the electors, the sympathizers with labor's cause saw to it that the other party nominees were questioned on the subject. And, according to the answers the labor disciples voted, or say they voted. How much support was forthcoming from weak-kneed Radical candidates Is not yet known. The details may shed an interesting sidelight on the Radical-SoclaJist work ing arrangement which was so roundly denounced at the labor conference on the eve of the general election. Unions Claim .Political Right. The one question which was sent out officially from headquarters, and the replies to which are being carefully arranged had regard not to the right- to-work bill, but to the situation which has been created .by the decision of the House of Lords in the Osborne case. "The joint board," consisting of representatives of the Parliamentary Committee of the Trades union Con gross, the General Federation of Trade lTnio's and the Labor party, drew up the following query, which was ad dressed to all candidates: "Will you support an amendment to the trade union acts (1871-1876) which will enable unions to continue the po litical activities in which they have been engaged since 1S68?" It is pretty well known that a substantial majority of those appealed to expressed themselves as favorable to the amendment indi cated. The supporters of the right-to-work bill have not seriously counted the cost of their far-reaching proposals. The measure does not stop at demanding work. Where the unemployment author ity is unable to provide work, it is to he held bound to furnish maintenance for the applicant and his dependents. And if the Labor partisans p.e asked what form the maintenance is to take, and to what extent it is to be provided, they simply say that the demand for main tenance has been inserted in the bill simply to compel the authorities to fur nish work. It remains to be seen how moderate Liberals will view any dispo sition on the part of official Radicalism to truckle to this enterprise. The Labor men in the House of Commons, whether they like it or not, will have to obey orders from the conference at Newport. Bill Has Radical Provisions. The right-to-work bill provides that, where an unemployed" person who has re " sided not less thaji six months in the area, has registered himself as unem ployed, it shall be the duty of the local unemployment authority, subject to con ditions imposed .and within such a period, not to exceed six weeks, as seems ad visable to the local authority, having regard to the circumstances of each case: ta To provide work for him In con nection with one or other of the schemes provided, or otherwise: b Or. failing the provision of work, to provide maintenance for that person and his dependents. "Dependants" mean such of the unem ployed person's family as are wholly or in part dependent upon his earnings, and where the unemployed person, 'jeing the parent or grandparent of an illegit imate child, has such a child so depend ent - upon his earnings, or, being an Illegitimate child, has a parent or a grandparent so dependent upon his earnings, shall include such an illegit imate child and parent or grandparent respectively. "Member of a family" me a net wife, hue band, father, mother, grandfather grandmother, stepfather, stepmother, son, daughter, grandson, granddaughter, step! son. stepdaughter, brother, sister, half brother, half-sister. Tn moving the second reading of the bill last section. J. Ward made the strik ing statement that "there muet be con tinuously unemployed in this country at least some TSO.iW workers of one sort or another." Baby Cab Kills Old Man. w NEW YORK. March 17 Tha deadly baby carriage claimed another victim yesterday. While taking the air at Third ave nue and Forty-fifth street in the after noon, Thomas Farrell, -74 years old. a watchman, was struck and knocked down by two baby carriages, each of which was occupied by a fat baby and propelled by a fat woman. The women were trundling the baby carriages side by side discussing the babies, when Farrell started to cross the sidewalk. When he saw the baby carriages bearing down on hm he lost his presence of mind and then his balance- When Policeman O'Brien picked him from the sidewalk he found Far rell's right shoulder had been dislo cated. Without a glance at the prostrate man. the women continued their reck less course in Third avenue. Residents of that street have been much frightened by speeding baby carriages lately and have given to Po liceman O'Brien a good description of the two women to whose recklessness Farrell owes his dislocated shoulder and his broken pipe.

(Spe cial.) The Pacific Northwest Athletic tournament opened here last nigrht with a. rush of classy boxing- and wrestling, which has already stamped it as being the best tournament ever held on this part of the Coast. Seventeen bouts were carded" for the evening", but two were defaulted. Of the 15 pulled off, Vanoouvr, Spokane and, Portland about broke even, the Multno mah Club having only two men in the preliminaries, one of whom survives to 6crap again. The most interesting bout from the Portland standpoint was the heavyweight scrap between W. Weeks, of Vancouver, champion middle and heavyweight of British Columbia, and R. Sears, of Port land, in which the latter lost the deci sion, the referee stopping the contest to gave Sears further punishment. At the start of the bout, however. Weeks was floored neatly by Sears, but came back without loss of his con fidence, and evened up. The second round showed Sears game, but being badly punished, so the bout was stopped. In the wrestling,' 135-pound class. Duff of Multnomah was sc-nt into the semi finals by the referee, because he could make no headway with Brechin of Spo kane. The two men tugged each other about the mat, rolling down once and then taking occasional short-arm jabs at each other to the delight of the crowd. Duff was sent to his knees once but Brechin In turn was rushed through the ropes. Another classy bout of the eve ning was the wrestling contest, 15S- pound class, between Gesek of Spokane and Monro of Seattle, in which Gesek won a fall in seven seconds after the etart of the second round. Gesek barely saved himself getting caught in a flying fall -at the start, but owing to his fine condition and greater strength, he came back too strong for the Seattle lad and secured a half-Nelson and crotch hold. In the 115-pound class boxing Lyle Mc Coy, of Spokane, lost to Billy Dyer, of the Green Lake Athletic Club, because of the latter's aggressiveness. McCoy started strong, playing for the ribg and solar plexus, but could . not get out of the way of Dyer's ugly left. Summarized, Seattle took three wins during the evening, Vancouver eight, the large majority being due to the number of local men contesting; Portland one, Spokane two, Ballard one. Green Lake one.

Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills Are the Best and Safest Tonic as Is Shown by This California Woman's Experience. "Whenever the blood becomes thin and watery or impure the whole system suf fers, energy is lacking, vitality is low and the victim falls an easy prey to any disease which happens to be prevalent, such as the frrip or acute fevers. To keep the system in normal condi tion, the appetite good, the step vigorous, the brain clear and the muscles strong, a tonic is sometimes necessary. With the body thus toned up and t lie organs active there is a greatly reduced danger from prevalent diseases since the germs are overcome and passed off as nature intended, they should be. The tonic used should be efficacious and at the same time safe and harmless for the weakest constitution. Such, a remedy is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The tonic effect of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is well shown in the following statement of Mrs. Marr Wilder, of If o. 1866 India street, Sau Diego, Cal. : "I have found Dr. Williams Pink Pills to be the best tonio I have ever tried. For several years I was always fun down during the spring months and was subject to attacks of the grip. I would be completely exhausted and hardly able to do any work. Every muscle in my body would ache. I had no appetite and it seemed that I could find nothing that would strengthen me, "A friend told me about Dr. Williams' Pint Pills and I began using them. Be fore I had taken the first box I felt bet ter. I kept on taking them and gained in strength until I was cured." The tonio treatment with Dr. Wil liams Pink Pills by building up the blood so that it can nourish and strength en the weakened system has made hun dreds of cures in the most severe dis orders. ' This record of cures should merit a trial for the remedy which is guaranteed free from opiates and is entirelv harmless.

The month which is now being rounded out has been an unusually busy one for the police department. Down to date' this month more than 1375 arrests have been made. This fig ure will be greatly exceeded by the time the final report is in, as the au thorities are starting crusades against a number of minor offenses which are being committed in this city. In March; 1909, there were but 900 arrests made. In January, 1910, 1238 persons were arrested, while the number dropped to 1171 in February. At the present rate March promises to establish a record.
