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."

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."
In closing he characterized the strike
breaker or "scab." a she called him.
as "a good type of the American he
ro." The Economic club was formed
for the purpose of discussing current
topics. 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. This attitude was
in effect nothing more than a constant
fight against the development of man
ly Instincts. He said he had a pro
found contempt for any man who did
not choose to labor every day Just as
long as his strength would permit
