STATE FEDERATION DISCUSSES ALIEN Labor Men, Meeting at As toria, Have Important Sec ond Session. 8-HOUR LAW CRITICISED Committee Plans Many "Stringent and Unnecessary Restrictions" Klimlnated at Next Session of Ieglslature. ASTORIA, Or.. Jan. 20. (Special.) The second day's session of the State Federation of Labor was devoted to hearing: reports of committees and the presentation of resolutions that will be acted upon tomorrow.. A summary of the work done by the recent Legisla ture was read, including the action on laws affecting: the interests of labor. A resolution was presented recom mending: that a special committee be named to inquire into the conditions regarding alien labor. There was quite . discussion of this, the delegates call ing: attention to the fact that the trans portation companies are permitting? im migrants to purchase tickets on the Installment plan and are providing: a plan for advancing: the money neces sary before an alien can land. In this way they are aiding In what will mean an influx of foreign labor that is cer tain to be a menace to the country. The eight-hour law received its share of criticism. The committee plans to have many of its stringent and unnec essary restrictions corrected at the next session of the Legislature. The eigrht hour law as it now stands is unjust to women workers, said J. T. Cassldy in his report to the convention. Continu ing;, he said the measure makes the women workers liable to loss of posi tion in many branches of trade, if com plaint is made, whose positions are afterwards filled by men, who. under the same law, aru allowed to work longer hours. T. A. Logsdon, of the Farmers' -Cooperative Union, in addressing: the con vention said he hoped to see an initia tive and referendum league organized among the farmers in the near future, so they will be better prepared to pro tect their own interests. He said the tillers of the soil are losing vast sums -ach year, because of their inability properly to market their products. The visiting delegates were enter tained this evening: at a smoker given by the Astoria labor unions. AHMED THUGS HTRTXG DECRIED Secretary of "Washington State Ijabor Men Starts Fireworks.

VALUATION IS INCREASED State Commissioners Also llonpful of Assistance to Health Boards in Matter of Controlling Rabies by Assessments. S AXi KM. Or.. Jan. 20. (Snociul i "Probably nothinir -will encourage the breeding and importing' ot pure-blooded dogs more than the plan of various County Assessors, started several years ago, of assessing for taxation all ca nines that may be found," declared Tax Commissioner Eaton today. "In Ger many, where the tax rate is high, I un derstand that the standard of dogs is far superior to that of the United States. It stands to reason if the tax on a. mongrel, were the same as on a well-bred dog owners would be more careful about the pedigrees of their pets." "There is another important matter in this connection to be considered," interposed Commissioner Oalloway The taxation of dogs I think eventual ly will be of great assistance to the state and municipal health boards in solving the problem of rabies. A high tax would tend to lessen the number of dogs, and, with the raising of the standard, owners, because of the higher value of the animals, would take better care of them and there would be fewer stray mongrels. 'Muzzling- dogs during the do days Is a good thinsr. but when th et tavntinn system gets Into good working order there naturally will be fewer dogs to muzzle. I will admit that it is a long step from the assessment of the O -W R. & N. and the P. R., L. & P. Company to a foothill rancher's hound, but everv little bit helps." Dogs were taxed for the first time in this state in 1908 and the amount of revenue from this source has increased annually. The first year the animals were assessed in 17 counties, the total number being 4270, with a valuation of $34,238. Dogs were assessed In all counties but one last year, the total number being 13,523, with a valuation of $117,150. "The Commission is heartily in fa vor of the system," declared Mr. Gallo way, "and the time is not far distant when every canine, whether it be of the Champ Clark variety or milady's pet. will have to bear its Just proportion of the expense of the state government."
