Great rancor wax apparent tunimg

of yesterday'.s fight over the Suit
Diugo situation, when thu executive
committee', unanimous decision was

faction proposing to pledge social
ism's support to industrial unionism,
not trades unionism, specifically rec
ognizing the Industrial Workers of

Delegates Hicks of Oregon, Ilickey

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.

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,
