At tbelr boon session yesterday, some of the local politician got news of the censuro given i their frieitd the brego 'nlan at the morning session, and Imme- gates were found who believed that the Oregonian waa th mainstay- of the labor Interests or Portland and . the state of Oregon generally. "With the , they be gan an agitation for the f resubmission "of th resolution ceniuring the Orego nian. , They Wer able to get some good ' aneakera on their aida andls tha after , noon one of the first motions befdr th convention was) that the resolution' con- 'earning th Oregonian beeconalder Ireconaidered.

In the most forcible manner, they declared that all that : labor had today had . been, given v them by their employer only after being demanded to do so by-their; ever-fearless - champion,' the Oregonian. Bom of the ..member, did not believe It,-and some hUse were heard, which so riled the . Oregonian champion that he asked them to step out in the hall with him and hiss him there, where he could fix them. One 7 fearless delegate got . the floor long enough to say that he would give a $10 gold piece for any copy of the Oregonian that had an article In favor ot labor unions la It, but be was Immediately CALLED.
