"Don't you dare Interrupt me

WEEKLY ROGUE
DEVELOPMENT MEETING.
(Continued from page 1.)
If each locality tried individual en
terprises of this nature, and, it Is
urged, the exhibit at Ashland will do
more for the state as a whole than
if the entire exhibit were placed in
San Francisco, where It would be In
a confusion of other exhibits. Thus
being at the veritable southern gate
way of the state it would be a proper
welcome to all visitors, as well as a
comprehensive and impressing fare
well review of the resourcea of the
state.
Create State-Wide Sentiment
However, Mr. Richardson stated, it
is not yet time to effect a bound or
ganization, for the first step Is to
create a state-wide sentiment in favor
of the plan, through the personal ef
forts of the members present. That
the idea merits of the greatest, per
sonal effort he showed by demonstra
ting the purely business side of the
hue. The immediate work Includes
the gaining of approval of all the
commercial organizations of the state,
o; the favor of the press, and by
working through the peoples as a
whole the favor of the legislative rep
resentatives of the people.
Commissioner Rootli for Organization
Commissioner Booth of the Oregon
Fair Commission next spoke on the
need of Interest In the fair exhibit
In connection with the Ashland ex
hibit, and told briefly of the work ani
plans of the Oregon commission. He.
told of the recent meeting In Albany
of the representatives of the eight
Willamette valley counties and of the
organization they had effected for ad
vertising and exhibit work to bring
travelers to their district, showing the
imperative need of such organiza
tions throughout the state if the
rest of the districts wish to maintain
a place.
Grape Grower for Diversity
A. II. Carson, the grape grower of
the Applegate, showed the pressing
need In the valley of a. diversifica
tion of farming, so that we may
have more than one line of endeavor
to offer the prospective settler. He
pointed out the danger of too close
confinement to fruit growing or any
other line, and stated thnt "a suc
cessful fruit Industry goes hand In
hand with other lines of farming,"
and that to make the most of our
great opportunities then must he a
more varied farming In the valley.
Aid for Municipalities
Prof. Sowers of the newly estab
lished University of Oregon muni
cipal bureau spoke In behalf of that
hureau, stating their willingness
and anxiety to be of all possible aid
In municipal policies.
W. W. Truax of Gold Hill spoke of
the recently authorized Jackson
county highway bonds as an adver
tising proposition and urged the plan
at hand, as did Editor Greer of Ash
land, who urged a plan of concerted
action as the only means of gaining
the proper development of southern
Oregon. ,
Talks by Judge Colvlg, Addison
Rennett of Portland and others
showed the trend of sentiment, and
the subsequent motion of Judge Col
vlg approving and urging an exhibit
at Ashland in 1915 verified this, be
ing passed unanimously.
Next Convention nt Roseburg
Secretary Schlosser of Roseburg
now Invited the next meeting of the
convention to be In that city on De
cember 4, and the Invitation was ac
cepted, each local organization prom
ising to send a delegation. Mr. Rich
ardson also stated that the southern
Oregon representatives would be met
In Roseburg by delegations from the
north.
Delightful entertainment was furn
ished during the program In the na
ture of a song by Mrs. Walker and a
reading by Mrs. Baker.
The platform was most tastefully
and appropriately decorated, fitting
the complete success of the develop
ment convention.
IDENTITY OF FLOATING
HI LK UNDETERMINED
Port Huron, Mich., Nov. 12. The
Identity of the big freight steamer
hulk, bottom-upward, off the lake
shore north of here, was still In
doubt today. Though the craft was
so deeply submerged that It was
difficult to determine Its identity, tug
boatmen who visited the spot stated
positively yesterday that they had
recognized the wreck as the steamer
K. A. 8. Clarke. Early today, how
ever, ten corpses from the wreck were
washed ashore and eight of them were
Identified as members of the crew of
the Canada Interlake liner Regina.
Tugs with divers were sent to in
vestigate. If the ship proves to be
the Regina, It will leave the E. A. S.

still unaccounted for.
RIVER COCKIER
'MIGHT XOT RIGHT" SAYS
SECRETARY OF LAHOR
Seattle, Nor. 12. Exposing cor
poration greed as it exists in the cop
per districts of Michigan, and declar
ing for a federal employment bureau
under supervision of the department
of labor, with the assistance of the
postal department. Secretary of Labor
William B. Wilson made an address
before the A. F. of L. convention here
today, in which be stated the depart
ment would co-operate with the trade
union movement to elevate the stand
ards of society.
Wilson's statement of what he bad
found from invesigatlon of the Cal
umet strike caused a sensation
among the delegatea.
"I want to take you into my eon
fldence about the work of the depart
ment at Calumet," said Wilson, while
recounting the work accomplished
since his appointment. "We not only
sent a man to confer with the strik
ers and employers but an expert to
look into the earning capacity of the
companies Involved. It hag been the
custom In cases of strikes to find out
what wages were paid, the hours of
work and the condition of labor, and
to make these public. We propose
to go a step further and make public
the earning capacity of the companies
Involved. Here Is what I want to tell
you. The largest corporation In
volved In the strike at Calumet was
organized in 1870 with a capital
stock of $2,500,000, the stock valued
at $25 per share. This stock was
sold at that time at $12.50 per share,
so the actual cash value of the origin-
al Investment was $1,250,000.
i "During the 42 years this company
has been In existence It has declared
dividends amounting to $121,000,000
and made re-Investments amounting
to $75,000,000. This after paying
all expenses and enormous salaries
to officers.
"Then the men In control refused
to meet with their employes, and de
clined to accept an offer of arbitra
tion. They say the property Is theirs
and they can manage It to suit them
selves. "May be it Is. But I say that the
age has gone by when he holds who
can. and might Is right. All title to
property now existing is by law, and
the law of titles was made by society
as the best way to preserve the wel
fare of the community and not the in
dividual. Whenever the individual
or corporation uses the title to prop
erty in such a way as to Injure the
welfare of the community, then he
will force society to modify its laws."
Concerning the federal employment
bureau, Secretary Wilson said:
"At present, under the system of
private employment bureaus, they
can be used to supply strikebreak
ers. Men are deceived into going to
distant plates to get jobs, then taken
to a place where a strike exists and
forced to work under guard. I have
in min4 a plan which It may be pos
sible to work out of a federal agency,
exactly a bureau of labor Information.
I want to see created under this de
partment a bureau which will col
lect and dispense labor Information
after the plan now used by the weath
er bureau. Through many sources In
formation could be gathered as to
where men can find employment, the
wanes paid, whether trade unions are
recognized, and last, but not least,
w hether a strike exists in the section
mentioned. All of this information
could be taken and condensed Into a
report small enough to be posted
daily in every post office in the land
as well as every other public place
where men gather."
RANCHER'S WIFE DIES
FROM Rl'RNS RECEIVED
Bend, Ore.. Nov. 12. Mrs. Ella
N. Bragg, wife of a rancher, died to
day from bums received when her
bouse was destroyed by fire. How
the the originated is not known, as
her husband was absent at the time.
ARREST TWO UNDER
STATE RLl'E SKY LAW
Portland, Nov. 12. L. R. Kaylor
and A. D. Baker, stock brokers, are
at liberty today on $1,000 ball each
following their arrest on charges of
violating the state blue sky law.
These are the first arrested under
the provisions of this act.
They are charged with offering
stocks for sale contrary to the act,
which provides that it Is unlawful to
deal In stocks or Securities of any
company unless a permit is first se
cured from the state commissioner
of corporations. The penalty for vio
lating the law is a fine of not less than
$100 or more than $10,000. or Im
prisonment of not less than 90 days
or more than one year, or both.

SAYS SECRETARY OF LAROK ,
IS A 'TEAX I T POLITICIAN
Calumet, Mich.. Nov. 13. Of Sec
retary Wilson's Seattle speech before
the A. F. of L. yesterday, condemn
ing the policy of the copper mining
companies of Michigan In the copper
strike, General Manager James Mac
Naughton of the Calumet & Heda
Mining Company said In part:
Mr. Wilson, through representa
tives of his department, made a thor
ough Investigation of strike condi
tions. Upwards of twenty of the min
ing companies answered a series of
110 questions each. Mr. Wilson's
criticism of the mines In this district
is based upon the reply of one com
pany to two of these questions, those
pertaining to capitalization and to
dividends. Evidently Mr. Wilson
could find no fault with the answer to
the other 1 OS questions asked the
Calumet & Hecla Mining Company, or
to the 110 questions asked each of
the other companies. He selected
for the purpose of his confidential
advance statement answers to two
questions which had no bearing what
ever on the controversy. Such poli
tical buncombe Is worthy only of a
peanut politician.' A man of Mr.
Wilson's position should be above It.
"Mr. Wilson's statement that the
mining companies refused to meet
committees of worklngmen Is abso
lutely false. Mr. Wilson offered his
services as mediator In the strike In
Michigan, and such services were de
clined. The good Judgment display
ed by the mining companies In de
clining his offer must now be appar
ent to the public."
SPENCER CONTINUES
PLAY OF' INSANITY
Wheaton, 111., Nov. 12. Attorney
Anton Zemou, representing Henry
Spencer, on trial here for the mur
der of Mrs. Mildred Allison-Rexroat,
was knocked down at the opening of
court today by his client.
"I am damned tired of this delay,"
shouted Spencer. Then he struck
Zemon twice, flooring him. Sheriff
Kuhn and two deputies overpowered
Spencer.
Court attaches were unable to
quiet Spencer.
"I don't need an attorney," he
shouted. "You plnheads are simply
wasting time. The Judge here Is the
biggest fool in the court room. He
has about as much brains as a sack
of sawdust."
"I committed every one of the
crimes published in the papers. I
killed Mrs. Rexroat and then drank
her blood. Why don't you fatheads
string me up and have it over with?".

SYNDICALISM.
Syndicalism is not a revolution
ary and alarming conception. It
is simply perfected unionism.
In this country the principle has
been more generally designated
"Industrialism." What we are
working immediately for Is to
better conditions of labor, to
shorten hours and to eliminate
unemployment. Think what It
would mean In raising the level
of society If every man and wo
man were sure that so long as
he or she worked honestly there
would always be work to do!
Think what the specter of un
employment meaus lu decreased
deficiency and economic wastel
Think how senseless it Is that
workers should be overdriven
at times nnd forced to Idleness
and starvation in Intervening pe
riods! You tell me that the agi
tation of industrialism Is de
nounced for breeding "class ha
tred." Some people are unwill
ing to admit that there is
"class." I would refer them to
John Ruskin's letters, In which
he described his awakening to
the realization of industrial con
ditions, and his seven years'
struggle in vain to arouse the
people of hi class and his ml
mission that the ruling class of
England iuld not lie brought to
h 1'istlee to the working class
