WINNIPEG. 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

pages jt riven on the campus ofJ.be
university last night, in celebrat'.oa
of the seventy-fifth anniversary of
the founding of the Institution.
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
