A second attempt to take the Salem labor vote into the camp of Uolonel George A. White, guber natorial candidate, failed miser ably last night at the meeting of the Salem Central Trades & Labor council. At the beginning ot the discus sion, C. W-. Brant, president of the council, employed in the office of the Statesman, took the floor. Motion to Pass Lost. The attitude of the council witK regard to White had been misrep resented, that body had neither endorsed or repudiated him at its last meeting, Brant said, and in sisted that the resolution, brought to fhe last meeting by White's campaign manager, be yanked off the file spindle and read again. It was. Brant put a motion to "approve" the motion, with the exception of the last sentence whereby the endorsement to White would be given. Labor to Be Neutral. It failed. A motion, however, "not to endorse or repudiate" any candidate, outside the city elec tion, before the primaries, passed, but threw cold water on all can didates for state office who would gain the favor of Salem labor. But one dissenting vote wa; cast when the motion for endorse ment of Dr. F. L. Utter, candidate for mayor, came up before the body, previous to the jilting of the White "approval." Utter Is Endorsed. Strong sentiment by all dele gates present was expressed for the mayoralty candidate, who dis cussed the matter of granting the Southern Pacific company conces sions in the city briefly and stated that he was against any cut In wages of city employes. The council found it possible to make the endorsement, for the reason that city officials are elect ed at the primaries, and because city officials represent no party.
