A meeting of the business men of tho city was held last evening in the old court house for the purpose of considering a proposition that was submitted to them by theTtetail Clerks' Union, asking that the em ployers enter into an agreement with t jo union for a period of six months. The conditions of the agreement are as follews: , "This Agreement, mutually enter ed into this 15th day of October, A. D. 1919, by and between the Retail Clerks International Protective As sociation, through their authorized agents, as president of Local No. 459, and as secretary of Local 459, of the City of Klamath Falls, and State of Oregon, as parties of the first part, and of the City of Klamath 'Falls, and State of Oregon, as party of the second part. "Witnesseth, That said parties of the first pirt, In consideration of tho covenants and agreements herein after mentioned and mutually agreed upon by all parties to be'lcept, done and performed, do hereby lease for tho period of six calondar months to tho said party of the second part, ono (or more) Union Store Cards, tho property of and issued by the Rotail Clerks International Protec tive Association.

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." LABOR SILENT AS PRESIDENT'S LETTER IS READ i" 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. TN PUN UABII1T BOUNTY IS TO HE CANCELLED Tho county rabbit bounty will bo cancelled, according to a decision reached by the county court yester-, day, and $3000 remaining in the bounty fund,' after outstanding bounties aro paid, will be apportion ed among the county farm bureaus. The court believes that surer eradi cation will result from the Farm Bur eau campaign than by the bounty system, All persons having rabbit scalps on which they wish to claim the bounty should turn them in at once. . WASHINGTON, Oct. 22. Presi dent Wilson last night passed one of the best nights he has had slnco his Illness began. His pulse, tempera ture and respiration announced physicians, were normal, T 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. The Klamath Heating company started operations six or eight months ago, -Ai Y . N - Sf i "1 41 J iM& i . vtwe,'leaarT
