THE PROTEST MEETING
ATTRACTED BIG CROWD
The mass meeting called for last
night was attended by an overflow
crowd. The meeting was under the
auspices of the Alaska Labor union
and held in the Union hall with Mrs.
Lena Morrow Lewis as principal
speaker. Resolutions condemning the
action of the judge and jury who
heard the Mooney cases in San Fran
cisco were adopted and a copy cabled
to the defense committee. The reso
lutions in the main protested at the
action of the juries and judges and
condemned their decisions as being un
just and unfair; further that they
were the tools of capital and the
whole was a concentrated action to
down labor and make San Francisco a
Qon-union city.
It was further the sense of the
meeting to cable President Wilson and
Secretary of Labor Wilson demanding
a federal investigation of the case.
A collection was taken up at the
close of the meeting that netted about
$60.00 over and above cost of tolls.

OREGON TOWN IS NOW RUN
BY WOMAN OFFICIALS
UMATILLA, Ore.—“It is a long
way from the early steamboat days
when Umatilla was the distributing
point for all inland points of Eastern
Oregon and Idaho, and the days of
the wild Indians and cowboys, to the
so-called ‘petticoat government,’ but
we are here nevertheless, so let us all
pull together for the improvement of
the once famous old city.”
Such was the closing and pictur
esque statement in the inaugural mes
sage of Mrs. Laura J. Starcher when
she .took her seat as mayor of Uma
tilla, Ore., together with four women
elected to the council, as well as to
the offices of city recorder and city
treasurer. The new office-holders are:
Mrs. Laura J. Starcher, mayor; Mrs.
Lola Merrick, treasurer; Mrs. Bertha
Cherry, recorder; Mrs. Stella Paulu,
Mrs. Gladys Spinning, Mrs. Anna
Means and Mrs. Chauncey Brownell,
council. Mr. Brownell and Mr. Stev
ens are the two hold-overs on the
council. Mrs. Starcher defeated hci
husband for re-election as mayor.
At the first meeting following or
ganization the council ordered the in
stallation of 16 new street lamps. The
women also ordered a cleaning of the
city hall and proposed repairs on it.
They adopted a resolution to be sent
to the governor, placing Umatilla in
line with other Eastern Oregon towns
to work for the route of the Columbia
Highway east of The Dalles. A bill
bearing on the highway is now pend
ing in the legislature.
