vention of the United Mint- Worker

The proportion had been before the
convention for three dayii and was
opposed by district and luteriiatloaal
officers as a-mcnace to the life of

gested a universal seven-hour day
during the wir to conserve fuel In
stead of the present plan of having

' There were but two speeches mie
today In favor of the proposition., the
delegates declaring It only fair that
the outlying districts be heard when
a, 'rate is fixed In one territory that
will be the basis for negotiations in
other districts. The answer to this
was piat the policy committee rep
retenting atl districts must approve
the basic rate before It is applied
elsewhere. A .
-.There were demands for a roireall
whjn the standing vote was -an
Bounced. President Hayes informed
the delegates it would cost abouu
125,000 to do this as it would con
sume more than a day's time. "Un-
-der the rules of the convention It
takes the assent of 300 delegates. to
call the roll, but that many could
not be mustered when the chair ask

FITTS REPLIES
TO EDITORIAL
Fish Dealer Says Journal Ed
itor Ignorant or Tries to
Mislead Public
"In reply to an editorial In the
Capital Journal of January 16, I
want to say that the editor of the
Journal Is very Ignorant in rcgam
to the fishing Industry now exist
ing at Newport, or he Is attempting
6 mislead the public In regard to
cdndltlons both here and over there
"He makes the statement that hal
Ibut Is now Helling o:er there f?r 11
cents a pound, that It Is wholesaling
here for 23 -cents and retailing for
28 to 30 cents. This atateinent Is
wholly untrue. No halibut at all is
being caught at Newport now, nor
has there been since about October
1. There is only one'fishlng boat in

has been tied up at Elk City since
about the first of October. KIk City
