June 7, Despite ter rific pressure from union men rep resenting the faction demanding set tlement of the Winnipeg general strike, the central strike committee this afternoon declined to call off the sympathetic walkout. It also was intimated that such action prob ably would have led to adustjment of the general labor controversy. W. T. Barker, chairman of the conciliation committee of the rail road brotherhoods, announced today that indications were that there could be no settlement berore next week. The brotherhood executives obtained settlement proposals from both the metal trades council and the industrial employers, but the em ployers. -with the federal, provincial and municipal governments solidly behind them, insisted that peace can not come until the sympathetic strike, termed the leading weapon of the one big union promoters, had been repudiated. . "Instead of going back we are ex tending the strike. Lett no one talk of starting work next week. No local will go back but will try hard to pull out one or two thousand work ers who today 'are unorgsftilied." said the Western Labor News, the official organ of the strikers today. Statements were made at the city hall and at the board of trade, where the citizens committee of 1000 has Jts headquarters, that the action of the labor leaders indicated their de termination to stake their fortnncs Salem Elks to Observe .

The program was scheduled to begin at S o'clock, but' long before that hour the seats which were lim ited to 2000 were; filled with an eager expectant crowd, and if there was anyone who went away the least bit disappointed ?uch a one hat not as yet been located. .The. pageant indeed eclipsed anything conceived by any one who bad not beea a priv ileged spectator at rehearsals. Credit . ! Wornm. One marveled, indeed that so tre mendous an undertaking could be worked out with such perfection of detail in so shoit a time. Credit most be given where credit is due. and where this is done the names of Mrs. E. E. Fisher, who was the originator of the Idea of the pageant, aiad Prof. Delia Crowder Miller, author aad di rector are found to head the lit. for in writing the pageant the latter has not only done a big thing tor the university, but has given Salem a more lasting place in fatare his tory. Her work has beea dona en tirely gratis, love of her art being the chief incentive. ' J Prof. Miller cncelved a pageant n which the characters were real human beings, the kind one laughs and criea with.- The dramatic con struction is amaiinxly good, dramatic art being emphaslxed throughout. However gTeat the past that Prof. Miller has taken, the assistance or her co-workers o.t the various com mittees, is not to be overlooked. In dividaally and collectively thes peo ple, have given the mJst consistent support. . I Indian Are Realistic. The Indians from the Chemawa In dian school were remarkably pro ficient, port-aying glimpses of real aboriginal life. : i The choruses aad most of the ma lic were written by Prof. Miller, aad were great assets in expressing the various moods. Lighting effects were very good, considering the short time la which wiring was possible and the stage snei;r and settings designed by Rev. Aldrich called forth many com plimentary remarks. The prologue and epiUgue were written In ponr. The characters la the former were Miss Florence Shir ley as the "Spirit bf Willamette; Miss Genevieve Sevy. "Spirit of Dra ma;" Miss Grace Sherwood. "Spirit of Music;- Orvllle Mille-. "Spirit of History. All were especially stronc in their Vtrts. making it on of the most beautiful diversions1 of the pio gram.
