Izes the boycott as Immaterial, antl
social, cruel and cowardly, where ap
plied to defenseless women nnd chll-'

bad, and Bhould be frowned down by
honorable men. It condemns tho prac
tice of employing deputies, upon re
quest, and at the expense o employ
ers. It Irritates tho men, secures the
services of unprincipled men, nnfl is
against tho doctrine that tho county
and state officers nro ubundantly able
to preserve peace, and protect proper

police Is unwise. Tho commission
can't Bee any. way to recommend com
pulsory arbitration. It docs believe,
however, tho stato and federal govern
menu should provldo mnchlnery for

tigation of controversies when thuy

Albany Herald. March 21st:
Several Hnrrlman immigration
ngeuts, and others in tho employ of
trnnscontlnontnls railroad companlos
are nttomptlng to work a "skin" gnmo
on tho Oregon ronl estate men, nnd
on Intending sottlora. Several months
it 150 Uio citizens of Albany entertained
a number of the Harrlmnn agents, and

the books wore to bo distributed free

to tho contract havo compiled with It,
ho far oh known, but now
tho Imml-
gratlon agents, who aro paid a regular
Balary by tho railroad companies, de
mand one-half of all commissions col
lected by, tho rent ostnto men, or
threaton to place tho intending sot'
tors in othor towns. A few wpeks ago
a real ostnte exchange was organized
in this city through tho efforts of the
same Immigration agents, and it now
transpires that their motive in per
fecting thnt organization was to cen
tralize tho real estate business, so
Uiat it would be easier to denl with
ono central body in collecting tbolr
part of tho commission; Instead of
watching a number of Arms.
Whether the railroad company Is a
partner to this scheme Is unknown,
but wo think not. Tho transportation

tending settlers, and when they locate

settlers and real estate men' It would
bo Just causo for retaliation. Tho Im
migration ngenta havo also requested,
tho real ostato men to raise tho price'
of land listed, so as to covor their
commissions. Tho Albany real estato
mon will resent this undue Interior-
enco in their business, and will tako
