LABOlASKSUSE
OF MORE LOCAL
P.1EN ONBRIDGES
Claiming that few Salem laborers
were employed In the construction
of the South commercial street
bridge, and endeavoring to head off
a similar situation in the construc
tion of the South Liberty and other
bridges on the future program, the
Building Trades council last night
sent 8. P. Davidson to the city
council meeting to plead their cause
befoie the city officials.
Davidson said he was not appear
ing In an antagonistic spirit either
toward the city council or the con.
tractors. He cited the fact, how.
. ever, that In the construction of thi
South Commercial street bridge,
the largest number of Salem men
employed at one time was 12, and
these for only a few days. He said
further that the largest number of
, Salem carpenters employed at one
lime was eight, these also for only
a few days. .....
As far as employment of organ
tsed labor was concerned Davidson
said the Job had the approval of the
unions, but when the men received
the checks Saturday noons, he said,
: they Immediately left for their
homes In Portland, while Salem re
ceived no benefit from their pre'
sence in the city.
"It Is hardly fair," said David'
on, "that local men should not
have an opportunity to be employed
on these Jobs, I can hardly blame
the contractors for using men who
have been faithful to them In the
past, but something should be done
to' change the situation. Either
local firms exclusively should be
asked to bid, or there should be, a
clause In the contract specifying
local labor.
"I hope the condition will be dif
ferent on the South Liberty street
bridge. Indications are that build'
nig is not going to be any too brisk
this winter, so if they are not em'
ployed at home our local men will
rither have to leave their families
and go elsewhere to work or the
business men win have to carry
them over until another season."
Mayor Llvesley said that the con
tractors had been requested to use
Salem labor as far as possible.
The work has been done in such
highly satisfactory way," 1 the
if ayor sold, "that I do not want to
tee any deviation from policies,
even If a continuation of this sat
isfactory work necessitates employ
ing men from elsewhere."
While speaking the mayor men
tioned the charge that defective
sewer pipe had been constructed for
the city, and said the charge would
be investigated thoroughly.
When the Big Show Comes to Town Tomorrow
downs and acrobat, hones and elephants, flying ladles and aerial queens will be on tan tomorrow when
me Bens flow circus comes nere for two performances at the Athletic park grounds, cesser, world s largest
tiger will Bo on view in lu cirena menagerie, rnleen performing pachyderms take pars m the rrand soec-
tacle which will start at t and p. ra.
The Sells Floto circus will burst
upon an expectant city tomorrow,
overtopping In magnitude. In merit,
In splendor In novelty, in fun and
In breath-taking feats, its repre
sentatives avow, any and all for
mer circus achievements. It has
even surpassed the mightiest efforts
of its own unequalled past, Is the
promise. -
Acres of tents, a 53 cage menag
erie, 6 herds of elephants, 550 horses
and pontes, the pick and pride 01
the world's acrobats, gymnasts,
equestrians, aerialists and equili
brists. Clowns? Yes, dozens of them!
The circus will arrive In 60 dou
ble-length railroad cars early to
morrow. The young boy and the old
boy will bo on hand to meet it and
witness the picturesque scenes of
detrainment and the march of man
and beast to the show grounds.
Three long trains are required to
transport the big canvas enterprise.
The first, bearing the preliminary
essentials to the encampment, is ex
pected by daybreak. The others will
not be far behind.
"The public has little conception
of the outlay In money and effort
represented in the visit of the Sells
Floto circus to this city tomorrow,"
one of these agents observed today.
Wintering alone, costs $140,000. Each
day of the tour Imperatively de
mands at least (8,000. The equip
ment for this season's show could
not be replaced under $8,000,000. We
figure our horses and their accou
trements at $350,000, and the me
nagerie worth $800,000.
"For the herblvora and carnivore
we have bought In this city, for
consumption tomorrow, seven tons
of hay, two hundred bushels of oats,
one hundred and fifty bushels of
com, liny bushels of bran, one and
one-half carcasses of beef and seV'
en hundred pounds of vegetables
for the other animals. Six tons of
straw are required for bedding."
GUN FAILS TO
BLUFF OFFICERS
George Edwards, Safem police
man called the bluff of C. P.. Burke,
arrested on a bad check charge
Monday afternoon, when he latter
nulled a mm from his pocket de

cuffed and levelled it at the Salem
traffic officer. Edwards Immedi'
ately pulled his own weapon, but
Burke pleaded with him not to

BOSTON PLAYS
LARGE PART IN
GIANT SCORES
(Br Tlx aiMclatee rrtu)
If John M cO raw wins Ma 11th
National league pennant this year,
(ne Boston Braves, themselves as
sured of finishing no higher than
seventh, can take a good share of
the credit. - -
Some of the most Important cogs
in the New York Giant's machine
came under McGraw's control after
an apprenticeship at Boston. With
out Larry Benton, Frank Hogan, Joe
Oenewlch, Jim Welsh and Les
Mann, it's a bit difficult to believe
that McGraw, great manager though
he Is, could drive the Giants Into
the leadership of a league boasting
as many strong aggregations
does the national this year. All five
oi tnese regulars or semi-regulars
made the trip from Boston to New
York during the past year or so.
Alter Benton had oltched the
Giants into first place at St. Louis
Sunday, Genewtch enabled them to
remain there yesterday at Cincin
nati wnere ne turned back the Reds,
5 tO 3.
Nosing out the Brooklyn Dodgers.
2 to 1, the St. Louis Cardinals gained
fractionally on the Giants whose.
lead dwindled to two percentage
points despite tneir victory at Cin
cinnati. Dazzy Vance, who had won
seven straight games, was the victim
of a ninth inning rally.
The Phils pounded four Cub
pitchers for 18 hits and an 11 to
6 -victory at Chicago. Four home
runs were smashed out, one of them
being Hack Wilsons 28th of the
year.
The Braves and Pirates battled
for nearly three hours before Horns
by's crew beat the Corsairs 14 to 11
in a slugfest In which 38 safe hits
were recorded by the scorers. 18 of
them going to the Pirates. Burleigh
Grimes, ace of the Pittsburgh staff,
was batted out of the box In the
fifth Inning.
In the American league, the Idle
New York Yankees added another
half game to their lead over Phila
delphia when the Athletics bowed to
the St. Louis Browns, 9 to 2. Howard
Ehmke and Joe Bush were batted
for 18 hits, Manush and OTtourke
getting four apiece. Meanwhile Jack
Ogden was setting the A's down with
lour safeties. The A's now trail the
Yankees by five and a halt games.
Red Facer granted the Red Sox
only six hits and the Chicago White
Sox trimmed Boston, 6 to 4. Walter
Shires, 20 year old recruit first base
man, started an the offense for the
White Sox, getting four hits includ
ing a triple.

WILL TAKE KINKS
OUT OF CORNERS
The city council, It developed last
night, is about to adopt a policy of
straightening out dangerous jogs in
some of the most heavily traveled
street In th city.
one of these Is at High and Mis
sion, and the street department Is
now wrestling with a method to
eliminate the dangerous twist in
the street at that point.
Another Is at Cross street near
12th where a new bridge is to be
constructed, and where the erection
of several new houses recently will
make street changes difficult.
The acute angle which forms the
turn from Highland avenue Into
Fairgrounds road also has the eye
of the department and some study is
being made oi a pun to eliminate it.
