The' labor council's reply is in answer to statements given out for publication by the hospital building committee to the effect that the enterprise was short of funds, and that organized labor hacK failed to co-operate with building of the hospital. ine laoor council s reply, ac cusing the hospital builders of misrepresentation, follows: "We regret very much the un true and false statement made public by members of the build ing committee or the Salem Hos pital association in regard to the controversy between the building trades of this city and that body over the scale of wages to be paid skilled . craftsmen employed on the new building now "under con struction. "We fully believe that the as soclation is trying to incite public sentiment against organized la bor, and that the men in control are using the hospital as a pivot whereby a reduction in wages of all classes, In or outside the con troversy, will take place, and fur thermore, we deny that the labor council is in any way responsible for the differences now pending. . "In stating that there is not enough money to build the first funit of the hospital, the associa tion has misrepresented facts, and in denying that yiey. agreed to pay the union scale of wages is a fur ther attempt to abuse the confi dence of the public and those who have subscribed to the fund. "We wish to state that the Cen tral Labor council did not start this controversy, but that the re sponsibility lies at the door of the hospital association through its attempt to reduce the wage scale of carpenters from $7-20 a day to $6. This carpenters' scale is paid throughout the state and was fixed by arbitration. "Through the council's recent action In placing the hospital and its hirelings on the unfair list, it has affirmed its expressed opinion as to the men in charg of the af fair, and has supported,, as it in tends to support, any movemen against the reduction of the wage scale, and thereby the living con- (Signed) CENTRAL LABOR COUNCIL.

NEW PROBLEM SEEN N CAPITOL STREET OPENING In the strong efforts now street from the end of the paving now under way, directly- north to meet with the paved mittee appointed by the Commercial club met with an en tirely unlookctl for situation. I At the meeting of the committee last night with Mayor Halvorsen and Aldermen Jefferson and Geisey. both on the street committee of the cjty council, -it was fofind that pos sibly Capitol street over the three blocks to be opened was really never vacated. When this question was brought up, it was decided that City Attor ney Ray L. Smitfi should look in to the matter. If the three blocks had never been legally vacated, there could be no legal objection to opening the road, extending from the present end of North Capitol to. the Wifth property;, it was a rp. tied. ' Old Maps Studied. Some maps of Salem show that the north end of Capitol street was .-iiirveyod through the tracts now owned by It. II. Roberts of Montana and A. II. Hunt. Tho survey shows that the road origi nally extended from the bill board at the north end of Capitol street, north to the street that leads oft from the Fair Grounds road to the tile work?, but does not extend through Mr. Wirth's property. There is a probability that at some time the county court may have cancelled this survey of the road when it was not a part of Legion, Pfleetmg Is Expected to Bring Fireworks Tonight The regular meeting of American Legion Capital Post No 9, to be held tonight at the which there will be considerable fire works.
