It Is not expected, of course, that the ' candidates for president and speaker will ceaee entirely In their efforts to line up friends for the organisation, but all work of this character Is to be done on the side and apart from the main issue. It has been reported that C N. Mc 'Arthur, one of. the prominent apeaker f ship candidates, is to be selected as eec ninrv of the state central committee to fill the vacancy caused by the resig . nation of Otis Patterson of The Dalles. Mr. McArthur, however, saya be has heard nothing of the plan and does not know that he is being considered by Chairman Cake as a possibility. Mr. Arthur has been suggested by a number of Republicans as a good man for the place. Chairman Cake la out of the city today, and will make no ap pointment until his return tomorrow.

Introduces) the Oorarnor. The audience waa called to order by X D. M. Crockwell, chairman of the day, who In a brief address reviewed the progress of organised labor. He said that nnlty, organisation and federa tion are the agencies to be employed If the laboring man la to secure hla just rights In the contest with wealth. Or" fanlsed labor has work to do so long a a here Is-a wrong to fight or a right to be obtained. Crockwell Introduced Governor Cham berlain, who In a brief manner reviewed the legislation which has been enacted in Oregon in the interests or the labor In . classes. This legislation, he said was made possible only by the demands of organised labor. Tha Initiative and referedum. the a-overnor said. Is a fur ther agency for protecting the rights of the people, and he complimented Ore gon as .being the first state to adopt the amendment, wnicn example ne thought would soon be followed by all the other states. He also praised the direct pri mary as another measure calculated to aid the working man and the people of the state as a whole. 'The Initiative and referendum." he said, "haa been at tacked, and If it should be set aalde and held for naught. It would be a serious Infringement of the rights of the peo- Ble and would subject their liberty to is predatory Interests of this country." C O. Toung, national organised of the American Federation of Labor, stated In his address that between 85 and 90 per cent of the skilled labor of this country Is now organized and have by e-rra Ufa artory terms of employment. He nlsatlon succeeded In obtaining sat- y SI ganlaed labor by adverse decisions, etat- rharaed tha eourta with being engaged in an organised conspiracy to destroy or-1 ing that the t'nlted States supreme court In a recent decision had virtually out lawed labor unions, holding thtt or. canlsed labor la operating In violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. But un der thla. same statute, he said, not a intlon of orsanlsed capital haa been obtained. A a a remedy for these conditions he recommended Inde pendent political action with a view to obtalnlnr leglslstlon favorable Ao the labor unions. All JPrUl Together. Cooperation was urged by Mayor lane aa the prime requisite for tha laboring man to obtain needed reforms.

The Broadway car. No. 811, waa returning to town about 9:30 o'clock and coming up Burnslde street from the bridge It reached -the corner of Fourth and Burnslde at the same time that a Southern Pacific engine, baking down Fourth street toward the depot, came to the same corner. The conductor from the rear of the car gave the signal to go ahead be cause all was clear back there, and the motorman, apparently disdaining the engine approaching backward, went ahead. The passengers began a hasty scramble for the rear platform to get on before the car crossed, xor it is said the engine was no more than four feet away when the car started ahead Several got off or fell off, but the oar went ahead with' a jump and just cleared the track, losing the paint from tne oacK waits. A crowd collected quickly to see what would happen and some gave a sigh of relief and some a sigh of disappoint ment. But the passengers for the most part, when they had recovered their nerves, broke out Into indignant mur murs. They thought generally it was gross carelessness on the part or the motorman.
