EXTRA SESSION IS DISPOSED OF Governor Ocer After Careful Consideration Decides in the Negative. REASONS FOR DECISION GIVEN lie ItellevcN Tliat an Attempt to Pit Imposition Appropria tion Would Injure the Measure. SALEM. Nov. ll.-Governor Gear ha issued letter of tlx closely type written pages declining to call to ex tra session of the legislature and giv ing his reasons therfor. lie thinks It wouli be Injurious to the Lewis and Clark exposition appropriation to at tempt to Tore It upon the people hur riedly, The governor's letter la care fully and thoughtfully prepared. The governor noli out that four reasons have been advanced for an c-xtr session, To make an appropria tion for the Lawls and Clark fair, to enact a flat salary law, to pass the Portland charter an dto muke opera tive the Inlntlv and referendum. Upeuklng of the appropriation he auya: "It will be one moat likely to be subjected to the operation of the ref erendum. The demand for the refer endum has grown up from the desire of the people to vote upon large appro priations. I trust that It will not be Invoked upon this one, but from what I know of the temper of the people I am ronvlnced that even to seem to guarantiee un exemption of the fair appropriation from Its) operation will require a campaign of education, not only among the people, but among their representatives as well." lie say opposition to the approprla tlon la disappearing. The referendum amendment la dUv nosed of hr recounting that It Is al ready operative. On flat salaries the governor says the regular session can meet the de mands in all rases except as regards the state printer, and that can be rem edled by sending less business to him, He holds that the United States sen atorlat question has been settled by the people end cannot therefor become complicated with legislation, and says: . "Believing therefore that the legis lature as a whole has no thought of disobeying the Instructions received from the people, I have considered the advisability of calling a special see slon. entirety disassociated with the senatorial question. "After weighing carefully every reason urged for and against a special session, and fully realising that, after all. the responsibility for the results reals not so much on those who as for the call, nor yet upon the mem bers themselves, as upon the governor. who must decide, and fully believing that the, needs of the state can well wait until the regular session, I am impelled to so decide." 8AGASTA APPEALED TO.

ELLIOT OPPOSES LABOR UNIONS President of Harvard Creates a Stir By Unexpected and Sen sational speecn. HANDICAPS AMBITIOUS MEN System of Apprenticeship Edu cation Thinks Wrong Applauds Scab Ab Hero. BOSTON, Nor. lL-Before the Eco nomic club of Boston at their banquet last night. President El liot of Harvard denounced the labor unions " of the country as opposed to the education of young men and for what he termed 'their fight against" uw ueveiopmeni or manly instincts."

The subject last night was "Industrial Butties and the Public." President Elliot had not promised to speak, but he was brought to his feet by a, discussion of the subject by previous 'speakers. He said that present conditions indicated that many years ramt pass before the la bor question is satisfactorily solved. Both sides must , make concessions and adopt some plan. The principal ob jection to the labor nniona from the educator's point of view, he said, was their objection to young men becoming competent mechanics and that they do prevent this is evident from the fact that all unions endeavor to limit the number of apprentices employed in any Industry. The right to labor Is considered the sacred right of the American citizen. ., . , ; v , President Elliot's objection to the labor union, was, he said, that the object of the union, seemed to be to work as few hour as possible for the service given.
