SALKM, Or., Jan. 2S. (Special.)
Abolition of the state senate, estab
lishment of a state bank, state mar
keting system, state-owned elevators,
mills and other industries and a tax
Amendment providing a prohibitive
levy on unused lands are among the
feature planks to he considered in

V. E. i'onlter, a Portland machinist,
who is one ot the bright lights in the
movement to launch the new party,

state senate.
Bank and Market Proponed.
Another proposed plank in the
p'atform. emanating from the Port
laud labor unions, will provide for
the establishment of a state bank,
state marketing system, state-owned
elevators, mills and other industries.
Iiabor also will make a determined
effort, it was said here tonight, to
incorporate into the platform a plank
opposing any law which has for its
purpose interference with the right
of free speech. A so-called "right
to work" amendment also will have
consideration.
leleKates arriving here tonight
seemed to be somewhat divided over
the proposed action of the radical
branch of labor to put out a com
plete ticket at the coming state elec
tions. It was argued by some of the
delegates that such a move was in
opportune in that it would take sev
eral months to place the organization
on a sound footing in the state, other
delegates declared that the adver
tising attendant to a party fight at
the approaching elections would aid
the organization in eommandeerin,T
followers for future campaigns.
.Split lay Rrxult.
Although C. E. Spence, master of ths
state grange, and representatives of
a number of other rural organization!
have announced their intention to at
tend the convention, it was rumored
here tonight that they had served no
tice that they would not support any
platform which savored of radicalism.
This is accepted by the more radical
delegates to mean that the farmers
will not combine with labor unless
they are assured an even break in the
political spoils in the event of the
success of the new party.
Leaders in the movement for the
united land! and labor organization de
clare the proposed platform, if adopt
ed, will be much the same as that of
the non-partisan league, which now
is in control of North Dakota.
The convention will be held in the
local labor headquarters and it is not
expected that adjournment will be
taken before Friday.

sitting as a "court of equity"' in this

tion for an increase in rates, prac

TIMBER SALE ANNOUNCED
Appeal for More Conciliatory Atti
tude Toward Industry Is
Meeting Some Response.
SPOKANE. Wash.. Jan. 28. In
dorsement of proposed legislation for
government regulation of the packing
industry, wnicn had been expected to
precipitate a contest on the floor of
the American National Livestock as
sociations convention here, did not 1
come to a vote at the second day's ses
sion today.
Appointment of a credentials com
mittee, which threatened yesterday
afternoon to bring the matter to an
issue, was effected this afternoon
without a show of strength by either)
side, after a compromise motion of-1
fered by ex-Governor Ammons of I
Colorado, providing for appointment
of the committee by the president.
John B. Kendrick, United States sena- I
tor of Wyoming, had been accepted I
and carried unanimously.
The credentials committee report,
finding the secretary's check of the
delegates credentials correct, later I
was adopted, also by a unanimous!
vote.
Further evidence of what was inter
preted in some quarters as a move
away from a heated contest on the
convention floor was seen in the
unanimous adoption of a motion, also!
offered by ex-Governor Ammons, ac
cepting the report of the market com
mittee, which demands legislation for
regulation of the packers; thanking!
the committee for its efforts during
the last four years, which it has been
declared resulted in government in
vestigation of the packing industry
and bringing of suits which ended
with the voluntary withdrawal of the
packers from all "side line" indus
tries, and accepting the resignation of I
the committee members, which had
been tendered with its report, in com
pliance with a rule of the association.
The motion was adopted, it was
specified, with the understanding that
such action did not commit the as
sociation to an indorsement of the
committee's stand on the packer leg
islation, opportunity for an expression
of which will be afforded with the in
troduction, at tomorrow's session, of
a report of the resolutions committee
commiting the association to such an
indorsement.
An appeal by H. A. Jastro of Ba
kersfield, Cal., chairman of the mar
ket committee, for a more conciliatory I
attitude toward the packers, and
warning that the welfare of the en
tire livestock industry would be I
threatened by continued attacks on
the packing business, also was re
garded as a further movement toward
a healing of whatever breach in the
association's membership may have
resulted from disagreement over de-1
sirabiiity of packer legislation.
The convention will close tomorrow
with disposal of the resolution com
mittee's report, election of officers
and other business. Delegates were
guests tonight of the Spokane cham
ber of commerce and of the Spokane
stockmen s club at a smoker.
Appeal la Dramatic.
Mr. Jastro's appeal for a changed
attitude toward the packers came as
a dramatic close to the presentation
to him on behalf of the association of
an immense basket of flowers. The re
port of the market committee was
presented yesterday by J. A. Burke of
Omaha, vice-chairman of the commit
tee, who also has been active in the
contest outside the convention hall in
its defense.
Mr. Jastro. who has served six
terms us president of the association,
has been indisposed since his arrival
here to such an extent that he has
been unable to take an active part in
the convention affairs, and his speech
this afternoon had not been expected.
It took the form of an appreciation of
the association s testimonial.
Without retiring in any degree
from the stand taken by his commit
tee, he declared the time for a ter
mination of active opposition to the
packers by the stockmen had come.
Legislation, he argued, was neces
sary to make Dermanent the vlrtnrv
he said had been won by the stockmen I
with the packers' acceptance of a
court injunction forbidding continua
tion of their diversified activities, but
he warned of what he said was the
danger that other organizations, more
radical In their views, might work
irreparable injury to the livestock in
dustry if the agitation againBt the
packers was not halted.

CHARLES GOSSO TELLS ABOUT
M'MINNVILLE SHOOTING.
THIN BLOOD AND BACKACHE
Every muscle in the body needs a
supply of rich, red blood In propor
tion to the work it does.
The muscles of the back are under
heavy strain and have but little rest.
When the blood is thin they lack
nourishment and rebel. The result is
a sensation of pain in those muscles.
Authorities agree that backache
seldom or never means kidney trou
ble. Real organic kidney disease
may have progressed to a critical
point witnoui aeveioping a pain m
the back.
Pains in the back should always
lead the sufferer to look to the con
dition of the blood. It will be found
in most cases that the use of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills to build up the
blood will stop the grumbling of the
ill-nounshed muscles of the back.
How much better it is to try Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills' for the blood
than to give way to unreasonable
alarm about your kidneys. If you
suspect your kidneys, your physician
can make tests in ten minutes that
will set your fears at rest or tell you
the worst.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists or direct from the Dr.

Man Called "Dutch Pete" Implicat
ed by Confession in Wounding
of Town Watchman.
SALEM, Or.. Jan. 28. (Special.)
Charles Gosso, in confession made
here recently to Warden Steiner of
the state penitentiary and other pris
on officials, said that an ex-convict
known among his companions as
'Dutch Pete," shot and wounded Jeff
Clark, a watchman, at McMinnville
last summer after Clark had been
robbed.
Gosso declared that he was residing
in Portland at the time of the shoot
ing, and had been invited to drive
the automobile in which "Dutch Pete"
and members of his gang went to Mc
Minnville. Gosso said he .refused to
take any part in the affair, but later
was told that "Dutch Pete" and his
companions were responsible for the
shooting.
Although "Dutch Pete" is said to
have a long criminal career, it is not
believed he ever served a term in the
Oregon penitentiary. Gosso was
questioned here recently by the Mc
Minnville officials, and is said to have
told freely regarding his dealings
with "Dutch Pete" and numerous men
associated with robberies.
Gosso was committed to the peni
tentiary from Dallas, Polk county,
for an indeterminate term of from on
to three years for larceny from
dwelling. He is 20 years of age.

"Dorothy." she exclaimed. "What

"I aimply had to go home from the
