UNION GAINING MEMBERS Vice-President of American Federa tion Sajra Ios Angeles Dynamite Cases Have Not Hurt Canse of Unionism. John Mitchell, vice-president of the American Federation of Labor and one of the leading labor leaders In the country, is resting at the Oregon from the effects of a long lecturing tour among the different Chautauqua Asso ciation meetings. Next Saturday he will speak at Gladstone Park on "Or ganized Labor." While here Mr. Mitch ell will meet a brother whom he has not seen for 20 years. The brother lives at Klamath Falls and la on his way to Portland. In appearance, manner and speech Mr. Mitchell belles the stories pub lished concerning him. Nor would the labor leader's bearing suggest that he would deliberately be in contempt of the United States Supreme Court, an offense with which he is now charged. There is nothing about to him to re call that he was a miner from boyhood till almost middle life. An active but deliberate business man would be the judgment of him if his life's history were not known. Labor Bill PIea.es. I am much pleased 'to learn today that the House of Representatives has passed the bill to constitute a depart ment of labor." said Mr. Mitchell, "as it is one thing for which organized la bor has striven many years. It is my hope that the Senate will acquiesce in this bill and that it may become a law. Kvery other line of Industry has its representative in the Cabinet and labor has been overlooked from a material and scientific standpoint. Now If a man of sufficient capacity and knowledge of labor conditions is appointed by the present and future Presidents, labor will reach a plane never before at tained in this or any other country. "Of National politics I will not talk wbile on this lecturing tour, as it would interfere with the work I am doing. TTnion Membership Gains. "About the trials in progress at Los Angeles, those known as the dynamit ing cases, my position is this: AH should not be blamed for the foolish 01 criminal acts of individuals. Organ ized labor has not sufferedas the result of these cases, as was predicted. Dur ing the last six months the National organization has been increased by 182.000 members, not a record for a similar period, but unusual during re cent years. "Ccnditions of labor generally in the United States are satisfactory as far as the relations of employer and em ploye are concern ?d, but still there are too many idle men. "The real enjoyment of my visit to Portland is the expectation of meeting tomorrow a brother whom I have not seen for 20 years and whose home is at Klamath Falls. It wag my intention to go there to see him, but he- tele graphed he would come here." DEMOCRAT RALLY TONIGHT Parade and Programme at Armory to Boost Woodrow Wilson. democrats from all over the state will take part in a mass meeting at the Armory tonlsrht, at which the candi dacy of "Woodrow Wilson for President of the United States on the Democratic ticket will be ratified. Bert E. Haney, chairman of the Democratic State Cen tral Committee, said yesterday that he has received word from dozens of out-of-town members of the party who are coming to attend the meeting:. Arrangements have been made for five speakers and a good musical pro gramme. John M. Gearln, ex-United States Senator, will head the list of speakers. Others will be Dr. Harry Lane, Democratic nominee for United States Senator; C. K. S. Wood, Thomas O'Day, John H. Stevenson and W. A. Mtmley. The meeting will be preceded by a street parade, in which prominent Democrats in carriages and others on foot will march behind a brass band from Sixth and Ankeny through the business streets and to the Armory, The Armory meeting will be called to order by Chairman Haney at 8:30 o'clock. The meeting was arrancred at the time the convention was held in Balti more. At that time ex-Senator Ge&rin was out of the city and other speakers were nnable to attend, so the affair was postponed until after Elks con vention week. KANSAS SUFFRAGIST HERE Wk h ita Woma n In specting Organ ization Methods of Oregon. One of the most recent arrivals In Portland from the last biennial con vention of Federated Woman's Clubs Is Mrs. William T. Johnson, of Wichita, Kan., who is Inspecting the organiza tion methods of the suffragists In Oregon. She will remain here for sev eral months and then go on to Wash ington, and finally to Los Angeles. "I believe the men In Kansas are sufficiently progressive to grant us the vote at the coming elections," said Mrs. Johnston. "The prospects are good and the Federated Woman's Clubs have Indorsed the movement. Jan Addams has been in our state helping us with all the power at her command, and I think that not only Kansas, but all the states In which women will battle for their rights in November will grant the right to vote to their women. What Is more, I believe this step will be a commercial asset to their state. Many women have told me that if the state in which they live does not have suf frage they will move to some state where it Is in force."
