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.
BIG SHOW MAY GOME
YOUTH, AVHO SAYS HE IS RING-
MXG. TAKES OPTION.
Stranger Declares Farm Near Al
bany May Become Quarters for
father's Circus
ALBANY, On. March 31. (Special.)
That the big Ringling circus will use
Albany as its Winter quarters hence
forth, is the statement of L Ringling, Jr.,
who has been here the past three months
and who says he is a son of one of the
original Ringling brothers, owners of the
circus trust. Young Ringling says he
has secured options on a Jaw-acre farm
three miles east of Albany and several
houses in this city.
According to Ringling's story he had
trouble with his father, I.. Ringling, Sr.,
several months ago and left home, being
cut off without an income. He wandered
around for some time and came to Al
bany about three months ago. He se
cured work in the Corvallis & Kastern
Railroad roadhouse here and has been
boarding at the home of H. J. Ruiter.
He says that after he began work here
he wrote to his ffcther that Albany would
be an ideal site for a wintering place for
one of the big Rngllng shows. He says
that while his Other did not authorize
him to complete any deals, he promised
to come to Albanj and look over the tract
his son selected. Ringling says he ex
pects his father ;o arrive this week.
The farm which Ringling says he has
virtually secured- for the wintering pla.ee
of the circus Is owned by Thomas Fro
man. It contain? 304 acres, and the pur
chase price is said to be $30,000.
To young men with whom he has asso
ciated during hi stay in Albany, Ring
ling has exhlbird letters which appar
ently prove that he is a son of the owner
of the big shov, but many still doubt
his identity. Heleft Albany on the north
bound train this afternoon. It was stated
at the house wiere he has been rooming
that he wouU return tomorrow or
Friday.

PORTLAND LADS WEAK!
SEARS BOXT STOPPED AT VAN
COUVER, B. C, MEET.
Duff, of Multnomah Club, However,
Is Pitted Against Spokane
Roy and Stays.
VANCOUVER, B. C. March 31. (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.
VETERANS INSPECT GUARD
Tliird Infantry Reviewed by Officers

sion was the quarterly inspection and
muster of the regiment, and the military
ceremonies were followed by a dance.
General Summers, as the veteran of
the Civil and Spanish wars, impressed
the men, in an impromptu talk, with the
necessity of giving their duties serious
attention. He referred to the time when
the members of the Second Oregon drilled
in the same Armory, and later took part
in active work in the Orient.
The following sfaff of veteran officers
accompanied General Summers last night:
W. E. Pinzer, Adjutant-General of the
Oregon National Guard; Lieutenant
Colonel J. I. Mayes, Major F. S. Kelley,
Captain L. H. Knapp and Captain Rhees

until the next quarterly inspection and
muster.
SPOKANE "DRYS" .MILITANT
Campaign Against Saloons May Re
t Waged in October.
SPOKANE. Wash., March 31. (Spe
cial.) "A special election to vote all sa
loons out of the City of Spokane" is to
be held next October, announces Louis
R. Horton, superintendent of the Antl
Saloon League. "This will occur about
three weeks prior to the general elec
tion. We shall secure a petition signed
by 30 per cent of the voters, calling for
the election under the local option law.
After next November the saloon question
can come up only once in two years at
the time of the regular county election.'
The first movement toward a special
election has already started in some of
the church organizations and the matter
has been put up to the Anti-Saloon
League from this source, guaranteeing
co-operation and financial assistance In
a Spokane campaign. It is proposed to
make the campaign for signatures in one
day.
The children's Sunday School parade,
which astonished the city last year, will
be another feature in the canvass for
votes and more than one demonstration
may be made before the campaign closes.
GAYNOR DEALS HEAVY BLOW
Xew York's Police "Graft System"
at Last "Nipped In Bloom."
NEW YORK. March 31. "Mayor Gay
tior has deeit what iB commonly called
'the police system' the severest blow
it has received in years." 6aid Magis
trate House, yesterday. "It has been
common knowledge that the liquor in
terests were payings for police protec
tion and this was one of the richest
sources of income received by certain
police officials."
The magistrate was commenting on
th& Mayor's letter of Monday night prac
tically forbidding police to make ar
rests for liquor law violations and put
ting the matter up to the state excise
department and the District Attorney's
office.
Opinion is general that police graft
will be eliminated, but the Mayor, fear
ing that his motives were misin
terpreted, let it be known today that
by calling off the police he was not pro
moting a more liberal Sunday, but
rather expected the lavi- to be enforced
as outUs- .with a "dryer" if not "dry"

A GOOD TONIC
Sometimes Necessary to Re
store Lost Strength and
Health.
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.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or sent by mail, postpaid,
on receipt of price, 50 cents per box ; six
boxes for $3.80, by the Dr. Williams

1910, is being- prepared. The report
will not be completed before tomor
row. 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.
MARS DYING; M0 WATER
American Astronomer Defends
Planet Contentions in Ixndon.
LONDON, March 31. Professor Fer

servatory at Flagstaff, Ariz., appeared
unexpectedly at the meeting of the
British AstronTmicaI Association, last
night and delivered an address defend

The audience included Edward W.

department, Royal Observatory, Green
wich, and other scientists who have
disputed professor Lowell's theories.
Professor Lowell has said that in his"

organisms, are not in any way similar
