It affects nearly all in dustries, including the harbor workers in most of the parts, but not the sea men. About 150,000 men are involved. ; The trouble began In January when the employers attempted to make a twenty per cent cut in the wages, with longer hours. The unions lack funds and there are already 1 110,000 unem ployed In Denmark. Captain Tinsley out of the wreckage just before the engine exploded and set fire to the building which was destroyed.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound The graduate nurscse of Jackson and Josephine counties have formed an association, known as District No. 4, of the Oregon Slate Nurses' association. The soldier bonus also Is expected to be considered by the committee. It wag stated, although 110 intimation was given as to the probable stand to be taken. tax. Such a tax will distribute tho cost of rewarding the e service meu in such a manner that ;t will lie borne by , all the people w h m they served and dies not. commit the government to class imposition r l ives or the re- sumption of the burdens recently re lealed, the mniti'eimnee of which can lie justified only by a great war emer gency. "it Is fully renliited how great is the difficulty which confronts the con cress in solving this difficult problem. I am aware of the jitr nig sentiment in c. uigress in favor of tins ndinsted com pensation. 1 have ioken approvingly myself, always with the -reservation that the bestowal shall be made when it may be done without such injury to tho country as will nullify the benefits to the ex service men themselves which this expression of gratitude is designed to bestow. Iris not an agreeable thing f sug gest that union be Nislsmeil aKaln but frankly I do not find myself favor able to the piecemeal payment plan which is manifestly designed to avoid embarrassment to the treasury. The long-drawn mt payments will not af ford an effective helpfulness to the service men." House leaders weie giving close study today to the itcssiblilty of pro viding the necessary lionos funds by slashing some of the annual appropria tion bills. Although not prepared with careful study of the subject to estimate how much of the bonus expense might be financed from this direction, it Is ex pected that the natal bill and the army supply measure would bo care fully examined t determine what sav ings might be tnadi) for this purpose. At the same tux.e, sale tax pr o nents cr pushiug their campaign with renewed vigor and were said to be hopeful that the president would suggest this kind of u tax as a means of financing the bonus. There was no general belief that he would however, and sentiment in both the s"nate and house was said to be strong enough to make lL probable that the bonus bill coup' be missed wi.h such a provision "We have no serious proidetn in beginning the allotments of public lands and the immediate issue 1 '. paid up insurance. The real diffi culty lies in the payment of the cash bonus.
