UNIONS MAY MERGE 1 GIFT HINTS ! Movement Started for a Cen trarOrganization, TO TAKE IN PACIFIC COAST Object Is to Bring tine VariouN Branches of Organized Labor Into Closer Affiliation so as to. Pre sent a Solid Front. A movement to unite all of the labor unions of the Pacific Coast Into one cen tral organization Is being planned by the local labor-leaders. There is such 'an or ganization among the unions connected with longshoremen's work, but the other unions are affiliated with the State Feder ation of Labor and then with the Ameri can Federation, making thus no closer connection between the unions of the Coast than there is between the unions of the East and the West. There are many occasions when it would be to the advant age of organized labor to be able to act from one central body in the name of all the unions of the Coast, and If Portland labor leaders are successful In the move ment they are starting this will be the condition in the future. There will be a meeting of the "Washington State Federa tion of Labor in Seattle, January 5, and a large delegation will go from here to be In attendance at the convention. At the same time the California State Federation will meet in Los Angeles. The Oregon State Federation of Labor will hold its convention in La Grande on the first Mon day in May. It is the plan of the local labor leaders to take the matter of a Coast federation up with the "Washington convention and induce tlfem to appoint delegates to the Oregon Federation. Tele grams will be sent to Los Angeles asking the California Federation to lake a similar action. If both organizations take an In terest in this movement, as it is thought that they will, there is no doubt but that the organization will be formed. Dele gates from the three states will meet at La Grande in May, and the plan can then be consummated. G. Y. Karry is very enthusiastic over the plan, and states that at least 100 members will go to Seattle to be present when the matter Is brought before the Washington convention. "There are often times," said he, "when we are In much need of such an organiza tion as this one will be. In the recent dry-dock controversy it was argued against us that shipbuilders In other ports are working more hours -than they are in Portland. If we had a Coast federation we could so regulate this work that the Tiours and wages would be the same along the Entire Coast The Pacific Coast Fed eration of the Longshoremen is proving to be very satisfactory. The organization we propose would take in organized labor of every craft and would bring the three sister states into a close affiliation. 3 CANNOT STAND COLD. Hainan Vitality "Will Eventually Suc cumb to Very Lovr Temperature. "The cold of Dawson is too intense not to have a baleful effect upon any man sooner or later," said Jim Hall, a rugged pioneer of the Klondike, who registered at the Portland, yesterday, on his way from the northern gold fields to the sun ny climate of Southern California. For six years Jim Hall has been .a figure In the life of the Yukon metropolis. For him no ccld was too Intense, no journey too long, no trail too arduous. The boasted terrors of the Chllkoot Pass, nor the racing waters of the "White Horse Rapids could delay this tireless argonaut when once he "struck the trail." But to brave these and kindred -hardships is too great a tax on human vitality. Jim Hall is a sick man, and is now seeking to recover Us health In a climate which has been widely heralded as the best on earth. "They say," said Mr. Hall yesterday, "that many people need no furs the first "Winter that they spend In Northern Rus sia. They do not find the great cold so hard to bear as they expected. But the second year they feel the need of furs. Their systems refuse to make the effort necessary to do without them again. And it is much the same in Alaska. I would never attempt to undergo the perils and hardships that I have experienced in the past 6 gain, not if I were promised all the gold that the Klondike ever had buried beneath its sands. Enoughs enougn. Elks Attend Vancouver Initiation. There was a hot time In Elkdom last night. Or at least some 100 Elks who had gathered at the foot of Alder street to await the starting of the boat tor Van couver said there was going to be, and all seemed to be in the spirit of the oc caslon. A new lodge was to be formed in Vancouver, and there were over 40 mem bers to be initiated into the secrets of the order. District Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler Walter R. McFarland, of Aberdeen, Wash., was a member of the party, and was to have charge of the work of or ganization. Portland Lodge of Elks, No. 142, had been asked to conduct the cere monies, and a boat was chartered to take them on the trip. From the large delegation that was sent to Vancouver, it would seem that Portland Elks are very much Interested in tne welfare of their brothers across the river, and, from the general expressions of the delegation, it is supposed that the" Vancouver boys wero initiated into every phase of the order that is known to their more experienced BEYOND COMPARE.

Unlike some of the other dealers, we have not gotten In a lot of cheap pianos to use as bait for unsuspecting, confiding customers. We have not made such preparations for the Christmas trade, as we do not believe in that kind of business. Our regular line of pianos consists of fifteen different makes, and with the dif ferent styles of each, comprises a stock of over 75 of the finest pianos in the world. These are not special pianos, but pianos we handle always pianos we guar antee, back up and stake our reputation on pianos known the world over, and we challenge any one to undersell us. or even come within $50 of our prices. Why take chances on some cheap, obscure, or even unknown make of piano, when you can get a standard make from us for about the same price, or perhaps less money? For Instance, the famous STEINWAY, used and indorsed by all the monarchs of Europe, and all the leading concert pi anists of both hemispheres. Other well known makes that we carry are the EMERSON. ESTBY. A. B. CHASE, RICHMOND, STARR and nine other dif ferent makes of fine pianos. Our beau tiful piano scarfs will make elegant Xmas presents, call ana see tnem. SOULE BROS. PIANO CO.
