bohulf of tho county. This Is dona for
tho purpose of keeping prices within
bounds. Under tho stnte law It Is pos
sible for each county to submit bids
on all road work to bodouo within tho
boundurlos of tho county affected.
Many counties In tho state have quite
complete road making equipment und
nro thus enabled to savo greatly on
tho cost of the work, slnco contract

situated. It Is quite well supplied
with much of tho machinery needud

tract at a figure that will bo reus-1

to tho county or to an Independent

Four additional unions have been
organized in Klamath Falls during;
the post two weeks, and two more.
seem certain of being added, accord
ing to Information given out by W.
F. Kay, secretary of the local MUI-,
men and Boxmakers union, which ls
afflliated with the carpenters and
joiners.
Cooks and waiters over the city or-
ganized last week and are expecting,
their charter from the national or
ganization of cooks and waiters with- ,
in the next two weeks. One hundred
per cent membership of the workers
in the culinary departments of local
restaurants and eating houses are
listed in the newly formed union.
Laundry employes at tho Klamath
Superior Laundry banded themselves
together recently. An invitation will
be extended to the other white laun
dry employes over the city by the
members of the newly formed organi
zation. Of much interest was the organiza
tion last week of the retail clerks ov- .
er the city in a union. Membership in
the union included the greater poi
tlon of the retail clerks in KlamattV
Falls.
Organization of the automobite
mechanics will be completed as soon
as the results of the recent examina
tion conducted by the state board of
automobile examiners are made
known. The men are waiting until
their status Is determined. Miscel
laneous builders expect to perfect
their organization within a, short
period. The carpenters local no 190.
and the Mlllmen and Boxmakers No.
1764 have been organized for some
time. Beginning September 15th. the r
Central Labor Council, which organ
ization is the clearing house of the
various unions in Klamath Falls, will
open a three-room office over Sugar-.
man's store. Mr. Kay will bo in
charge of the office, which will en
able both non-union and union men
to secure employment, as well as
looking out for the general Interests
of laborers.
As soon as the newly formed un
ions secure their charters from their
national organizations a meeting of
the affiliated unions in the city will
be held.
"This city-wide organization ot
workers in unions is simply an ex
pression ot the country-wide labor or- ,
ganization movement that lssweep -ing
the country," said Mr. Kay.
"Some people think we are organiz
ing to start trouble and strikes. Lot
me say that the 'Red' has little
chance in our labor organization In
Klamath Falls. We have united to
prevent strikes to down any indiv
idual expressions of radicalism and
sabotage that creep out from time to
time. Bolsheviks and I. W. W.'s arc

ter of fair play with tho platform of

CANNOT FIND ROOMS
If anyono in Klamath Falls can
inform Mrs. Dllda ,of Sacramento,
as to where she can locate the rooms
her husband engaged for her over a
week ago they will be doing a great .
favor for her.
Mrs. Dllda arrived here a week:
go with her three children to take
the rooms that her husband had en
gaged for her. On her arrival' ahe
could not locate her husband nor
has she been able to find the rooms
that he rented. She believes that
her husband is probably sick.
Information regarding the rooms can
be left at the Washington House.
