"Lnokinu backward, I find the workingman of the United States, generally speaking, is receiving higher wages than ever before. But 1 believe that beyond question he is worse off now than he was ten yoars ago. 'True, he gets better pay, but this increase has not kept up with the in creased cost of living aud the earner cannot buy as much today with his weekly wages as ho could with half as mii'.-h ten years ago. "I am sorry to say that the trades union movement has been at a stand still for tho past few years. In the first place, this is because the American Federation of Labor is out of tune with the international labor movement; it is non progressive so far as the political activities of union nion are concomed. New movements that have sprung up with the general labor movement are due to tho non-progressive tendency of the American Federation of Labor. One of the new movements is the In dustrial Workors of tho World, and an other is the so-called Militia of Christ. Tho former movement is well known in America and the latter is fostered by the Roman Catholic church." IS Rodhot Rivet Throwing Contest One of Features of Celebration in San Francisco.

This morning the Orcgonian printed a column-long stntemest nn a por tion of tho Desert Land Board attack ing Governor West for his action in connection with the Deschutes Land Company's affairs and blaniiug him for the delay in the completion of the work, in that he caused the general government to hold up the work while investigating charges mado by the governor. For this reason Messrs. Key, Lewis, Crawford and Olcott think Mor son, who is in charge, should be given more time to complete the work. The governor does not agree with them in this, and there is a pretty war on. That it will assume goodly proportions seems certain. As a sort of prelimin ary answer to the statoment in the Or egonian the governor this morning handed out the following: "In his statement, mado through the efelumis of Ithe Oregonian this morning, Mr. Kay insists that my charge that a petition addressed to the interior dopartment asking for an ex tension of time upon the contract be tweon tho state and federal govern mcnts covering the Morson project was prepared by Lewis and himself is un true, that it was prepared by Assist ant Secretary Van Winkle, an employe In the office. Mr. Van Winkle could no doubt, with propriety, clear himself by saying that it was prepared by the stenographer, and the stenographer, iu turn, lav the blame on her machine. 'I have no patience with heads of departments, who, when trouble camos. and they find they have put their foot into it, try to shift the blame to some helpless employe. I have always stood ready to assume the responsibility tor tho acts of those in my employ. "My sympathies were with Gover nor Sulzer until ho began to shift the blame for some of his acts to hiB wife. I believe in a man facing the miiBic on all occasions. I find, however, that my charge that Kay and Lewis pre pared this petition needs a little mod ification. Further investigation ro veals the fact that, with the exception of the introductory and closing para graphs, which were prepared under the direction of Messrs. Kay and Lewis, that the nine remaining paragraphs were prepared by Mr. Morson. "Most of the troubles of the Desert Land Board have sprung from the nractice of State Engineer Lewis and Attorney-General Crawford, ' who, in permitting promoters of these project to propare moat of the contracts and petitions which the board is cauea up on approve and sign. "In this fight Messrs. Kay, ( 'raw- ford and Lewis are lined up to protect a shoestring promoter who is engaged in practices which the Blue Sky law is aimed to prevent. I am tnanKiui inai I am lined up and making the fight In behalf of the public." In connection with the Rbove It is learned that the corporation commis sioner today seut the Deschutes Land Company a statement that it had not paid Its fees for the years 1913 or 1914, the laws requiring tnese snouni be paid In advance, and the company is liable to a fine of $200 therefor.

BODY IS DECOMPOSED No Inquest Is Considered Necessary and Remains Are Interred in City View Cemetery. Evening Call Makes Its Appearance Post and Bulletin Throw Down Gauntlet to Newcomer. tJNITBD PniSS LMABKD WIRS. San Francisco, Sept. 1. Newspaper war, impending iu San Francisco for mouths, "broke" here today with the first iBsue of the Evening Call, which, under the apparent guidance of F. W. Kellogg and John D. Spreckels, re placed in the ovening field the morn ing Call, which M. II. DoYonnj said he receutly bought from the Spreckels es tate. It Is roportod that William K. Hearst is also actively and financially interested in tho Evening Call. Prompt to moot the odvont of the Call in tho evening field, the Bulletin and Pot are today on the street at 1 cent, the puce, ot the new lull, anil both papers print announcements prom ising Kellogg and Spreckels a run for their money. The San Francisco Daily News is the only evening jieper in the city to pay attention to tho irruption of the Cull. It carries no editorial announce ment on tho situation, aud apparently is prepared to pursue the even touor of its way regnnlUws of tho fight among its competitors, which have entered the I cent .ield. The body of Mrs. M. A. Guild, who committed suicide by jumping into the Willamette river at the foot of Division street recently, was discovered floating in the stream four and a half milos north of the city yestorday morning about 10 o'clock by some hop pickers, who wore walking along the Polk coun tv shore. Undertaker Eigdon was not ified at once and after he had notified the coroner of Polk county, went down the river and placed the body in a box and brought it to Salom. The body, when first seen by the hop pickers, was floating on the surface in front of a big maple rteo that had fal len over into the water. When Under taker Rigdou arrived on tho scene, it ) was found the body was badly decom posed. The coroner of Polk county, after being advised that the remains had been identified as those of Mrs. Guild and that it was that of a suicide, lecided that no inquest was necessary and he remains were buried today in City View cemotory. Queer Actions. That Mrs. Guild was intent upon tak ing her life was made known shortly after she was suddenly found missing. She had told her son that sho was go ing to kill borself and one night last mouth she left her home on North Commercial street, and, after walking down Division street to the river in her bare feet, evidently jumpol into the stream and drowned. The woman was fully dressed with the exception of be ing without shoes or stockings. Lawson Will Not Hang Bob Morgan Superintendent of Prison Says He Will Resign Rather Than Execute Boy at Prison. Tho Capital Journal has it from re liable authority that Mr. Lawson, super intendent of the prison, has sent word to Governor West that if the boy, Rob ert Morgan is to be hanged, that the resignation of Superintendent Lawson is on file. Mr. Lawson says he has no compunctions of conscience about car rying out the law and executing a criminal, under average circumstances, but that he is determined that he will not hang a boy of that age, even though it is simply one of the duties bf his official position, and that if this sen tence must be carried put that some other person will have to do the work. His language to the governor as told The Cnpital Journal was: "I would not hang that boy for all the jobs on earth, and my resignation is in your hands should you decide the sentence must be carried, out. " It would seem from this that the governor Will have to appoint a new superintendent of the prison if Morgan is hanged. The governor has made no intimation as to hiB action, but with his well known Ideas on capital punish ment generally, it is fair to presume that Morgan's sentence will be commuted.

(UXITltO r-RKKS IJS0 WIBI.1 Milwaukee, Wis., Sept. 1. Fifteen thousand men marched here today in the Labor Day parade. One thousand automobiles were also In line carrying aged workmen. There seems to be a wide variance of opinion as to the legality of the coining bond election, on account of the registration laws being so drawn that they are capable of several con stmctious. Many are of the opinion that the registration laws have not been complied with, and that should the bonds carry they will be again held up. It seems, so far as The Cap ital Journal has been able to leorn. that no legal opinion has been secured on this point, and it would not matter now if it had, for the time for regis tration has expired and the election must "go as it lays." If it Is held that the registration laws have been complied with, then ill case the bond issue is voted, there may he nothing more serious than delay, which Is cer tain to occur, while eastern attorneys look into the matter. It is unfortunate that this is so, but it cannot be helped now. InxiTxn panne ijiAkCD wibi.1 Portland, Oro., Sept. 1.
