As the ever technicalities In order to gain some petty advantage. It seems too bad that organized labor has to contend with conditions or com binations in which the. will of the voters and the Interests of the entire state are . submerged In a fuss over a few loaves , and fishes. In other words It Is quite ' plain that Kay and Olcott and some members of state boards are none too large for the jobs which .the people of ' the state have placed then! In. Let us hope that, under real popular government Oregon will develop a statesmanship worth while. WILLIAM MacKEXZIE, Cor Sec. L U. S. E., Local 87.
