in the city was represented and tho
question was discussod fully from
every angle. Tho sentiment was that
thoro was no objection to tho union
nor to the employes becoming moin
bors. There was, however, a de
cided sentiment against the provi
sion of the agreement requiring that
all clerks In an establishment bo
monikers of tho union in order to bo
placed on the dist of stores posted
as union shops. On motion, it was
decided not to sign the agreement,

FITTING TRIBUTE
Before he knew that Klamath
county was to take part, in the
Roosevelt Memorial movement, Jas.
M. Watklns, Jr., of Klamath Falls,
sent his subscription to the San
Francisco committee, with a letter,
which, according to the San Fran
cisco papers, was highly appreciated
by the memorial association. Wat
kins wrete:
"Theodore Roosevelt has been my
Ideal of all that is upright and man
ly in any living human being every
since I have been old enough to read
of his wonderful achievements from
boyhood up, and whose llfowork was
beset with great difficulties at every
turn of the road. But, believing he
was In the right, and honestly, he
never faltered. That one quality Is
to my mind the true American spirit
which we all hope to possess. And
because of this courage of his con
victions, I, would not feel that I was
doing my1 duty by my family, or my
fellowman, did I not take advan
tage of this opportunity to show my
appreciation cf the standard' he has
set for all humanity.
"When the news flashed over the
wire, 'Theodore Roosevelt is dead,'
I have often wondered how many
people, in every walk of life, and
utterly unknown to the outside
world, paused for an Instant in their
daily tasks, unconsciously paying
tribute to his passing. Something
never before accorded a man in his
position, with one possible excep
tion, Lincoln."
Now that the Klamath County
Roosevelt Memorial committee has
begun active woxk to raise the coun
ty's $480 quota, Watklns is taking
active part with others in the local
campaign, which culminates Monday
night in a grand mass meeting here.
Monday is Colonel Roosevelt's birth
day. Showing how little' party lines are
considered by those who stand for
American ideals of which they feel
that Roosevelt was a typical expd'
nent, is this tribute from Col. E
M. House, President Wilson's per
sonal representative. Colonel House
says:
"I consider it both a privilege and
a pleasure to be associated even in
a small way with the purpose of your
organisation. Theodore Roosevelt
needs no memorial, but coming gen
erations should bo constantly remind
ed of what he stood for in public
life. When he died a great virile,
wholesome figure disappeared.
Roosovelts do not belong to many
generations. Let us bo thankful
that, ho belonged to ours."

LETTER IS READ

Final Effort to Prevent Disruption
of Industrial Conference Falls to
Conciliate Workers' Delegates..
Who Refuse to Join in Applause
WASHINGTON1, D. C, Oct. 28.
After the noon intermission of th
industrial conference, the labor del
egates who left this morning, reach
ed a decision to return and contiaa
to take part in the discussion.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22. la 'a.
last effort to prevent the dissolution,
of the national industrial conference,
Secretary F. K. Lane, 'chairman ot
the conference today read the dele
gates a letter dictated by President.
Wilson, urging the imperative nee--cesslty
of some action to insure In
dustrial peace during tho recon
struction period.
The President said that the public
expected the conference to stick to
gether until some way is found to se- ,
cure a fuller and heartier co-opera'
tlon of interests, or until "the men.
who work and the men who manage
American Industries are shown to e
so set upon divergent paths that all
efforts at co-operation are doomed to
failure."
The Presient said it would be &
national disaster if the industrial
leaders and workers of the nation,
are left without faith in each other,
doing naught that they are not com
pelled to do. He declared his mind
was turned against any such poesiM
lity. Reading of the President's Iettery"
to 'the conference was forced by -"a-"
demand from representatives of the
laborgroup. The labor delegates did.
not share the applause that followed
the reading and a strong possibility
that they may refuse to participate
longer if the conference exists.

STIRTSJEPICE
Steam heat was turned Into the
main of the Klamath Heating com
pany today and, according to G. C
Lorenz, manager, the plant is meet
ing every expectation as regards me- ,
chanical perfection.
- One boiler only was running tola'
morning. The first building to be.
connected will be the White build
ing, the location of the Moe store,
near Fifth and Main, which is ex
pected to be attached to the steam.
line this .afternoon.
In a few days the Hall hotel, the
I. O. b. R building and the Wllllta
building will be connected, the nec
essary pipes being laid Within two
or three weeks another main -will be.
laid to connect the city hall, the
council having" authorized a year's
contract for steam heat from the
heating company. This line will
eventually serve the new postofUce
building proposed for Sixth street.
By the first of the year the com
pany expects to have service estab
lished for everyone desiring it on
the Main street lino between Fourth
and Seventh streets About twenty
owners havo already signed for the
service.
'Our plant as it stands," said Mr..
Loronz, "Is large enough to take care
of two cities of this size, Wo haVe
built to nieot all present needs and
allow for considerable expansion as
population grows."
Tho plant has four large boilers,
which will be heated by sawdust.
Three boilers will probably be run
constantly at about SO pounds steam
pressure, the extra boiler being kept
ready for emergency and during the
cleaning and repairs ot any ot the
others.
An Immense sawdust bin holds
sufficient fuel for 25 dr 30 days and
will be kept full. For tho present
the sawduBt will be hauled, but ul
timately it is hoped po have It blown
directly from mill to firebox through
an air-pressure pipe line.

started operations six or eight
months ago, -Ai
