SPEAKS FOR MARINE ENGINEERS Strike Is Now In Hands ot Federated Trade Grievance Committee, and MesiberM Arc Hopeful of an Early Settlement. "There will be no general tie-up ordered by the Marine Engineers' Beneficiary Association, and no demand will be made for a uniform wage scale along the Coast or for jin advance of wages other than is asked at this time. Portland Union No. 41. however, will have the moral and financial support of every Marine Engineers' Union in the United States, and of tho unions connected with the American Federation of Labor. An effort "Will be made to effect a peaceable settle ment of the existing trouble, and that falling, the matter will be laid before the National Convention of Marine Engineers which meets at Washington, D. C, Jan uary 24. and the convention at that time will decide what action Is be taken." This is the statement that was made last night by W. B. Jackling, recently elected president of the Marine Engin eers' Association of Seattle. He Is also a- member of the conference committee representing the National organization of engineers In the Portland strike. Mr. Jackling Is a prominent Pacific Coast labor leader. During the recent visit bf George Uhler, National president of the Marine Engineers, Mr. Jackling ac companied him on his tour, conferring with him in regard to tho Portland trou ble, and was also In San Francisco when the engineers who left the steamers El der and Columbia were on trial before Inspector General J. J. Birmingham. This statement, coming from him, may be regarded as authentic, as he is In a better situation to know the union's plans than any other. man on the Coast. Mr. Jackling arrived In Portland Sat urday night. He was In conference with the officers of the Portland Engineers' Association and the officers of the Fed erated Trades Council all day yesterday, and in tho evening a special meeting of the Engineers was called. He was seen by a reporter Sunday night, but refused to give out any information regarding his visit. He was interviewed during the day, but was as cautious with his infor mation as before and would not admit that his visit pertained to the strike In any way. When seen after the meeting, however, he granted an Oregonlan re porter an interview, In which he stated definitely the plans of the Engineers" in conducting their fight. He thinks that the outlook is still good aid hopes that the. trouble will be settled before the meeting c the National organization. I'e Give Financial Aid. "Tho only new development In the strike situation," said he "Is that the National organization has levied a tax on every union In the United States. This assess ment will be paid every month, and the striking engineers will be furnished money with which to conduct their strike. We will also give the Portland men our moral support, and will be able to help them In many ways. When we know of men that would go to take the strikers' places we can try to Induce them not to, and we can generally create a feeling among working people against going to Portland until the trouble is setttled. As to calling a general strike, however, there has been no such proposition considered with any seriousness. I cannot see that the Portland men would be benefited In any way by such an action. As I under stand It, there was talk of introducing a wage scale at one time. It was only local talk, however, and has not been consid ered outside of Portland. A uniform wage scale along the Pacific Coast would be Impossible, as the conditions under which the men In the different ports work are so different. I can say positively that there will be no decided action taken by the National Association of Engineers until after the National convention." Federated Trades to Lend Moral Snpport. Although the Federated Trades Council will r.ot take any decided action In re gard to the strike, 1 will lend Its moral support to the cause. Some time ago the marine engineers were received Into the Federated Trades Council, and about two weeks ago they laid their trouble be fore a meeting of the assembly. The matter was turned over to the grievance committee of the Federated Trades, and the committee instructed to make an In vestigation. During tho week this com mittee will hold conferences with the va rious boatowners, with a view to settling the strike. The members say they are willing to do anything they can to help the engineers, but that there Is at pres ent no thought of calling a sympathetic strike. F. Smith, secretary of the ma rine engineers, and delegate to the Fed erated Trades, last night said: "Our trouble has been turned over to the Federated Trades, and we think there Is a good chance of a settlement. Our prospects are better as the days go by. Conditions are constantly coming up that make our position stronger. The class of engineers that have taken our places on some of the boats are not competent men, and tho companies are finding that it is a much greater 'expense for them to keep such men than it is for them to pay the wages that we ask. While as a last resort we can appeal our trouble to the National convention of marine engi neers, I have hopes that It will all be set tled before that time." Status of the Strike. The present strike of the marine engi neers may be said to date back to July 1, when the demand for a higher wage scale was made. The engineers were out for a short time, and a partial agreement was reached, and they returned to their posts. A further misunderstanding arose, how ever, and at a later date they again went out, and have not worked since. Mr. Smith said last night that none of the strikers had deserted the ranks, but that the membership of the organization had grown since the strike had been declared. The original notices that were sent out bore the date of June 2L Tho men on the big boats demand an advance from $100 to 5110 per month for chief engineers, and from $75 to $S5 per month for seconds, and a corresponding advance on the towboats and other steam ers, which now pay $90 for chief engineers and ?C5 for seconds. They also demanded a salary of 590 per month and board and lodging on small steamers employed on short runs, where meals are not served on board. At that time about 50 boats were involved In the trouble. Of these, the O. R. & N. Co. was operating eight boats, the White Collar Line, three, the D., P. & A. N. Co., four, Jacob Kamm, four; Kellogg Transportation Company, four; Oregon City Transportation Com pany, three; Shaver Transportation Com pany, four. The North Pacific Mill was operating the steamer Fannie, which they own, and the steamer Ocklahama, under lease from the O. R. & N. Co.; F. B. Jones was running three boats, and there was about a dozen other good-sized tow boats owned and operated bj' individual owners. A large number of these boats have been started, and are being run either -1th their owners as engineers or with PRAISE FOR HOOD RIVER Greatest Place on Earth for Apples and Honeymoons. "Young man, are you married?" The reporter bluehingly responded that ho had not yet attained to that stage of mundane tolicity. "Too bad, too bad. Now, young man, let me tell yob something. AVhen you get married you come up to Hood River to spend your honeymoon. It's the best place on earth for a honeymoon. Brides look all the prettier when lined up beside our red-cheeked apples. Lots of newly mated couples come to Hood River. A member of, the Oregonlan staff brought his bride up our way recently. You'll come, won't you?" The speaker was E. L. Smith, of Hood River, president of the State Board of Horticulture. Perceiving that the reporter was embarrassed he launched off on an other subject. "There's no more beggarly proposition on earth than this Horticultural Board.'' The reporter was delighted at this new lead and Immediately followed It up. "How?" he asked. "Well, sir, the Legislature allows us only ?4500 a year for our work and we can't cover the ground." "Why?" "How In the world do you suppose 54500 Is to pay for traveling expenses of the board, for cost of Inspectors, for printing, for salary of secretary, for office rent, for, for " and here Mr. Smith stopped. leaned back on his heels and gazed at a spider on the celling spinning his warp and woof of a house. "For what do you need money most?" "For inspection of fruits. Horticulture is one of the greatest Industries of the state and it is the least protected. Fruit growers demand protection, and they are enUtled to get It- Fruit pests cannot bo tolerated In a civilized community." "Will you attend the Legislature?" "No, I don't care to do that." "But you need a new horticultural law?" "No, we don't- The present law Is good enough. All we need is two changes." "What, are they?" "Larger appropriation and Inspectors. We could do good work on 56000 a year and pay the cost of Inspecting with that amount. The Inspecting should be done In active market season at the chief ship ping points." "How should the Inspectors be paid?" "Either by the county or by the board, as I have suggested. The latter plan would probably be the best because many counties are too stingy to pay Inspectors." "Why not go to Salem to get these changes in the law?" "Our Interests will be well represented. There's Senator Carter in one house, and Representative Olwell In the other. They are practical orchardlsts. They know what's needed." "How many apples did Hood River pro duce last season?" Mr. Smith hemmed a little over this and then replied: "One hundred carloads or over." "And how many last year?" "About lb carloads." Then he went Into another study and when he emerged he said: "And we've disposed of perhaps half of this year's crop. Most of them have gone Eastward. Our Spltzenbergs are nearly all shipped. Newtowns have moved earlier this year than last. "How are prices?" "Very good, though not so high as last year. The average price of Spltzenbergs at the station has been $1 40 per box, and of Newtown 51 50 per box. "Are there many new orchards?" "Oh, yes, and new trees are coming into bearing every year." Just then the patrol wagon whisked by with a drunk aboard and the reporter had to chase after it. "Don t forget Hood River for your honeymoon," was Mr. Smith's farewell. but this time the reporter didn't have time to blush. XMAS TREE AT CATHEDRAL St. Mary's Sunday School Children Enjoy Celebration. The children of St. Mary's Cathedral Sunday School held their Christmas tree celebration yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The large hall was filled by the little ones and their more mature friends Archbishop Christie and several mem bers of the local clergy were In attend ance. All present expressed their great delight at beholding one of the most beautiful Christmas trees ever decorated in Portland. The programme rendered was of su perior" merit, and showed careful train lng on the part of their teachers, Sisters Juliana, Almere and Rosarlo, who had charge of the exercises. The numbers rendered were as follows: Recitation, "The Little Christmas Tree," Evelyn Mooney; "Glory to God," chorus; Christmas pantomime, Katie Culllnane;. recitation, "Santa's Wife," James Conway: Instrumental duct. Helen Llghtner and Marlon Prevost; dialogue, "For Another's Sake," May Taggart, Annie Cosgrove, Lucille Whyte and Isa belle Springer; "Santa Claus' Trouble," James Carraher and viola Barenstecher. The last number Introduced a novelty. By the magic touch of fairy Viola's wand, a commonplace chimney was transformed into bricks containing sweets for tho lit tle ones. TO INSPECT REGIMENT.

The trophies are hand some pieces of workmanship, and their peculiarity Is that the higher class the smaller the medal. Battalion drills will be resumed after January 1.

Company A, of the Third Regiment, the Oregon City branch of the Guard, was In spected there last evening by Captain L. H. Knapp, of Portland. Three More Still Living:. PORTLAND, Dec 29. (To the Editor.) I read with much interest the address of Judge John R. McBride, recently deliv ered before the Historical Society In this city, published In your paper of yester day. I note, however, that the Judge has numbered among the dead members of the constitutional convention several who are still living. Colonel James K. Kelly, W. A. Starkweather and Thomas Whit ted are so recorded In the list published The former is still living In Washington City, though he has been In feeble health for several years; Hon. W. A. Stark weather resides near Oregon City, and is enjoying good health, while Hon. Thomas Whltted is living at Unity, Douglas County. The old pioneers are going last enough, and I do not like to see them numbered among the dead while yet llv ing; hence I take the liberty of making this correction. A. N.
