12 THE MORNING OREGONIAN. MONDAY, JUNE 3, 1907. ROOSEVELT IS NOT FRIEND OF LABOR Instrument of Capital and Apostle of Brute Force, Says Miss Goldman. REFERS TO IDAHO TRIAL Sigh-Priestess of Anarchists In Lec ture Counsels Followers to Line Up to Save Moyer, Haywood and Fcttibone. "How many anarchists are there In the United States? Well, there is no record as to how many there are of us," replied Emma Goldman, the high prleetess of anarchy, when asked the question yesterday. "However, I am in communication with 60,000 anarch ists, of whom 2 have a knowledge. Our membership is in no sense confined to the laboring classes, for we recognize no classes. It includes students and professional men as well. "As an indication," continued Miss Goldman, "of the intense Interest that Is being taken by people in every sec tion of the United States in the philoso phy of anarchism, I might say that during my present tour I have sold $1700 worth of pamphlets treating on anarchistic subjects. When it Is con sidered that with the exception of a limited number of books, sold for 60 cents each, all of these leaflets were priced at but 10 cents, an idea may be formed as to the number of persons who are really interested in this sub ject and are actually studying It." "What do you think of President Roosevelt as the champion of popular government?" was asked by the re- porter. "President Roosevelt, no matter how good he may be as a man, is not the friend of labor and the toiling masses. He is the instrument of organized gov ernment and the representative of the capitalistic classes. He does not em i body the better qualities of the Amer ican citizen. He is the apostle of brute force, and does not possess those finer qualities which make for the develop ment of kinder human relations." On Tour for Three Months. Miss Goldman is a native of Russia and was educated in Germany. She came to the United States 22 years ago, and has lectured in exposition of an archism ant. its teachings for 18 years. Of her career as a lecturer, five years were spent in Europe, where she made a study of conditions, on which she liases much of her argument in behalf of the philosophy she now preaches. She left New York in March, and dur ing the last three months has lectured in practically all of the principal cities in the United States. From Portland Miss Goldman goes to the Sound, and thence into Canada, where she says there la great activity among the friends of anarchism. She expects to reach New York City early in the Summer, and will then sail for Amsterdam, where she will attend a congress of anarchists that will be con vened August 15. Large audiences assembled at the Selllng-Hlrsch building twice yester day to hear lectured by Miss Goldman. Both audiences wore representative of the laboring classes. There were but few present out of curiosity. Evi dently of her faith were her hearers, who were frequently stirred to ap plause by her vigorous utterances. In the afternoon Miss Goldman lectured on "Direct Action Versus Legislative or Political Action." Strikes Xot Effective. "Industrial problems in this coun try," she said, "have given rise to a realization that there is need for con sidering the best methods for bringing about relief from existing economical conditions. What has labor accom plished through legislative or political action? By relying on these agencies as a means of relief, the working peo ple as an organization are weakening themselves. The records show that al most every important strike within the past 20 years has been lost to the laborers, or has been broken. Trades unions are generally considered a means for bringing about an improve ment in their own economical welfare, but the lack of solidarity and comity of Interest among the different branches of organized labor Is responsible for the failure of the average strike. In stead of all other branches of organ ized labor lending their support to the particular organization that is seeking to benefit Its condition, we find them lending their services to the capital ists. What is needed Is a regeneration of trades unionism." "There can be no comity of relations between those who own everything and never work and those who do not own anything and always work. The miners' strike in 1904 was lost because the striking miners relied on legislation that It was hoped would effect a satis factory settlement between the mine owners and the miners. The printers' strike in 190" was lost for no other reason than that the strikers gave Utetr employers four months' notice that a strike was to be called. The re sult was that the employers at once began to prepare for the threatened strike, and the very men who proposed to strike and did strike aided the em ployers in preparing for the difficulty, in eventually defeating the strike by working overtime during those four months. Why the Carmen Lost. "The recent strike among the carmen In San Francisco has been lost for the very same reason. The strike of the miners, it is true, was arbitrated, but not In the interest of the miners, who were required to return to their former employment under precisely the same conditions as before. 'Participation is politics by organ ized labor has not gained anything, but Instead has undermined the basic prin ciple and subdued the revolutionary spirit of workingmen the world over. The result of this experience has been the development of a new move ment, the industrial movement which has come to recognize as a means for gaining relief not legislative or politi cal action, but direct action and the general strike. Instead of depending and relying on their representatives, their laws and those who are negotiat ing for them, laboring men are com ing to realize that the only effective means of accomplishing results is for them to come Into direct relation with their employers and give them no time to prepare for strikes." Miss Goldman quoted statistics to show that in France and Germany, where the direct action and general strike theory was invoked,' 35 of 100 strikes were won, 25 partly won rand the remaining 40 lost because 'the strikers did not understand the plan proposed by direct action. Referring incidentally to the pend ing trial of Moyer, Hay-wood and Petti bone in Idaho, Miss Goldman referred to Detective McParland as a "degene rate," characterized the Pinkerton de tectives as the "scum of society," and declared that President Roosevelt is "the officer of organized authority and government and the instrument of the capitalists." She then spoke of inci dents in connection with the burial 'of men hanged for complicity in the Hay market riots, when friends of the dead men lined up for five miles to" follow the dead to their graves. Advises Against Delay. "Are you going to wait until after the lives of those three men on trial in Idaho have been taken." she asked, "and then line up for a distance of five miles to follow them to their graves? Why wait until their lives have been taken? Would it not be well to line up now? "Capital is more brutal in America than it is in any other country, and the time certainly has come when the means so successfully employed in Europe should be adopted in this country. Direct action and the gen eral strike are needed in this country' to settle labor difficulties. There is no common ground for labor and capi tal and they cannot be brought to gether. He who says they can is either a fool or a hyprocrlte. It is not by ar bitration, not In Congress, but through the Industrial movement and th united efforts of the workingmen themselves that relief from existing conditions can be brought about." Last night Miss Goldman delivered her last lecture, the subject being "Revolutionary Spirit In the Modern Drama." She argued that there exists a dissatisfied condition in all classes of society and in every activity of life closely bordering on a state or revolt. In the course of the lecture, she quoted from the following writers and their works: Tolstoi's "Power of Darkness"; Gorky's "Night of Refuge"; Ibsen's "A Doll's House," "Ghosts," and "Enemy of the People"; Gerhaupt's "Weavers and Sunken Bells"; Mlribeau's "Business Is - Business"; Maeterlinck's "Monna Vanna"; Yeat's "Where There Is Noth ing"; Oscar Wilde'a "Lady Wlndemere's Fan," and Bernard Shaw's "Mrs. War ren's Profession." FROM A VETERAN ENGINEER Advises Voters to Defeat Examining Board Ordinance. t PORTLAND, June 2. (To the Editor.) In today's Oregonian I read two letters from two distinct factions of the engi neers associations, one endeavoring to ,explain to the taxpayers of this city the merits of or need of an examining board, the other the utter uselenssnesB of such an institution.. Now, neither one of these hits the nail on the head. I wish to say to the taxpayers of Portland that I am a taxpayer of the city, have been a steam engineer In Portland for 36 years, and am pretty well acquainted with alt the differ ent steam plants and a great many of the engineers, though I am not a member of either faction. I wish to put this matter straight to the voters. There la no need of any such board as an engineers' ex amining board. No good can come from It. All boilers in the city are under in spection of a careful, competent Inspector, and a report is made quarterly in dupli cate. One report is sent to the owners and a duplicate turned over to the in surance company insuring the same. A report also is made as to the care and management of these steam plants, and there is not an owner of a steam plant in this city who does not know just the exact qualifications of his engineer. I find no fools in charge of steam plants in this city (except a few who would like to have the taxpayers put them in a fine office to look wise and graft). Neither is there need of a wiring in spector. There are already rules laid down as to how work shall be ddne in this line. Taxpayers are already burdened heavily enough without these jolly rot amendments to our city charter, and all voters should vote no to both. All the boilers in our hotels are In good careful hands. Not a city in the United States can compare with Portland In this re spect. We have no accidents from engi neers faults in Portland, and I defy Mr. Asher or any other engineer to show figures to the contrary. Engineer exam ining boards never saved any lives yet, but have created hardships and plenty of ill-feeling. I am not slinging mud at any engineer who' Is attending to business for himself and his employer. I merely ask the voters and engineers generally to vote no. Better let engineers spend their money for good up-to-date mechanical journals. Respectfully, W. a HARRIS, 3S4 North Eighteenth street. PERS0NALMENTI0N. C. A.

NEW POLICY IN RESERVES GOVERNMENT EXPERIMENTS IN GRAZING THEM. Band of Sheep Will Be Fenced in and Left Without Herder to Brave Coyotes. WALLOWA, Or., June 2. (Special.) Frederick V. Coville, expert botanist from the Bureau of Plant Industry, is here from Washington. D. C, to inaugurate an experiment which it is believed will greatly increase the grazing capacity of the reserves. Down on the Chesnimnus division of the Imnaha reserve, where the coyotes are thickest, an area of ten or 12 square miles will be enclosed with a wolf- proof fence and a oand of Bheep, prefer ably, yearlings which have not been herd ed, will be turned In the enclosure and allowed to pasture during the remainder of the Summer. It Is believed that the same amount of grass will support many more sheep when they are pastured than when they are herded. Should this theory be proved, the result will revolutionize the entire policy of the department In regard to the re serves and will have a great bearing upon the stock industry. The same experiment will be tried on a small scale in other re serves, but nowhere so extensively as here on the Imnaha National Forest Reserve. The fence will consist -of a closely barbed hog wire, stretched close to the ground, a woven wire fence three Inches above that with a triangular mesh of five or six Inches, six inches higher a barbed cattle wire and eight inches above that a smooth cable wire. These will be stretched on eight-foot posts, set two and one-half feet In the ground. This fence, it Is thought, will exclude all coyotes and other wild animals which, prey upon sheep. Mr. Covill will remain here until the first of July, when he will go to Washing ton to report, but will return about the first of August. While here he will con fer with the stockmen and ascertain their views in the matter. The information gleaned from this source is expected to aid materially in conducting the experi ment. Two assistants for Mr. Coville will arrive this week. Besides this experiment the department will send an expert entomologist during the coming month to determine the best method of combatting the effects of the bark beetle that is destroying hundreds of acres of lodge-pole pine in the Sheep Creek region. BIG ROUNDUP QF HORSES KION'A STOCKMEN CORRAL THE COLTS FOR BREAKING. Farmers Are Prosperous Through out Upper Country Expect Five Crops of Alfalfa. KIONA. Wash., June 2. (Special.) The annual round-up of range ho -sea reached Kiona the first of the week, about a dozen local riders taking part. Two or three hundred horses were driven up to the corrals here, colts were branded and a number of horses sold. The horses were In good condition as a rule, looking sleek and fat. Pasture is excellent on the hills and the horses show the effect of plentiful rations. Farmers in the Kiona "Valley have be gun to cut alfalfa, and hope to make five cuttings this season. Last year four crops were cut, although the first was not ready till well along In June. Down on the Groscup ranch, eight miles down the river, haying; Is in full swing, the alfalfa having come into bloom last week. Fishing Is the chief recreation of the men in the North Coast camps a few miles below Kiona. About 75 Italians are In one camp. They go out every evening and catch long strings of fish. The cook at the Swindler camp caught 30 fish last night, several of which weighed between three and four pounds each. J. H. Kennedy, who owns a mile of river front Just below town, is putting In a six-horsepower engine and pump to irrigate his orchards. He has ten acres of apple trees, mostly Spltzenberg and Ben Davis, and has heretofore watered it by means of a wheel In the river. But the wheel, which was worth J200 or J300, was carried out by the November flood, and cannot be replaced until the river becomes low in the Summer. In the meantime he will water his ranch by means of the engine and pump, and will afterwards use It to lift water on to some higher lands which he intends to set out to grapes. Wheat out on the Rattlesnake ranches is heading out. In Horse Heaven it Is not so far along, but Is looking exceptionally well and the farmers are hopeful that the yield will be large. Strawberries are going out from this station at the rate of 20 crates in a day. So far prices have been good, not going below J6 per crate, but a drop Is reported today. At first, when all the early berries were killed by frost, the farmers here be lieved the crop would be a total failure, but the strawberry fields are now begin ning to turn out a good yield. There will be many late ones which will not be worth- shipping owing to low prices, but can be put up at home by the growers. Some of the strawberry farmers, dis couraged by the frost, plowed up their fields and swed alfalfa, but they now regret the step. Club Members Get Together. CHEHALIS, Wash., June 2. (Special.) The Citizens' Club of Chehalis held an in teresting and enthusiastic meeting during the week, at which there was a large at tendance. The regular session was held in the clubroom and afterwards a spread was served in Workman Hall, which had been especially prepared for the occasion. President J. T. Coleman presided as toast master, and the responses to the various toasts were as follows: "Public Library and the Schools," Prof. F. S. Thompson; "Agricultural Possibilities," George Sib ley; "Municipal Improvements," Dan W. Bush; "The City and City Government," D. C. Millett; "Better Fire Protection." A. J. Long; "Manufacturing," N. B. Coff man; "Advertising," I. P. Callison; "Co operation of the Club With the Council," J. E. Leonard; "The Get-Together Spir it," U. E. Harmon.
