Direct Action Peaceable. Delegates Hicks of Oregon, Ilickey of Texas mid Clifford of Ohio, this afternoon bitterly denounced the charge that the advocates of dimet action were resjwnsible for the vio lence which is marking strikes and other labor troubles. Through their efforts a minority report was tiled with the committee on labor relations, which flatly declared that the socinl- it patty had 110 right to interfere with controversies within the labor movement, and defends the labor movement generally. It was regarded as almost certain this afternoon that the majority re port, pledging the socialist party to keep out of fights regnrding tho forms of union organization, would be adopted.

FIGURES E If story Told by Viola Miller to the Authorities Is Correct Young Girl Has Been Saved From Similar Fate at Hands of Chinese Girl is Said to Be at Ashland and Authorities Will Endeavor to In duce Her to Tell Her Story. If the story told the authorities hy Violn Miller, otherwise known us Laura White, who figured us a hIuVo to the local Chinese colony during the investigation which followed the stabbing of Wo Lee Sunday morning hy Jim Ling of Ashland, is correct, a young girl, known ns "Jfcllie" and who is said to he but 10 years of ago has been saved from a fate as dark us that of Viola Miller. It is claimed that Jim Ling was endeavoring to teach this young girl tho opium habit that she might in reality become his slave. This matter is to be probed to the bottom by the authorities. Constable Siuglcr will go to Ashland and en deavor to locate the girl who disap peared the same night that Viohv Mil ler was arrested. If she enn be found and" her storv tallies withHiat told by Violn Miller it is believed tint Jim Ling and one or two of his ac complices can be sent to the peniten tiary for n number of years. The United States government may take a baud if the matter dcvolopes. According to Viola Miller Jim Ling met "Nellie" some weeks ago at Ash land and has already induced Her to smoke opium several times. Sho is also said to have visited the Chinese laundry on Riverside nvciiuc in this citv on 0110 or two .occasions but made her headuuarlers ut tho Hoy.il rooming house. How far the Chine to hail succeeded in getting her Into their power is not known. The opium selling features of the case aro not to be allowed lo drop. The authorities have several cluoi which lend them to suspect the sourco fiom which it is received by tho Chinamen and are now engaged in following theso up. The assistance of the government will probably uo invoked. Several sensations uro promised in thu ease. In tho meantime the city will pro ceed to enforce the health laws at tho laundry forcing the premises to bo cleaned up. They will also keep a wnteh on the den found in the renr cf the laundry mid see that it continues 110 longer ns a den of iniquity. Viola Miller is confined in the county jail. It is believed thut two or three months spent there will bu to her advantage if she is sincere in her protests that sho wishes, to break away from tho opium habit, T UURLINGTON', lownt May Uf. -Fighting every inch of tho way ad herents of Speaker Champ Clark and Governor AViltfou aro booking control of the state demourutio convention which met hero today.
