THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1907. 14 FIGHT TO FINISH FOR OPEN SHOP United Metal Trades Associa tion Throws Down Gaunt let to the Unions. CITIZENS' ALLIANCE MOVE Employers of Labor in All Lines Believed to Be Behind Propa ganda Which is Expected to Sweep the Kntire City. That th oprn-phop proclamations post ed at the Willamette Iron & Steel Works Tuesday may be the opening wedge for a similar movement throughout the city is likely. Employers of labor In Portland generally are members of the Citizens Alliance, the organization that launched fie open-shop movement. Officials' of this organization are reticent, but admit that the. open-shop principle is apt to sweep the city at this time. They say this will depend however, upon circumstances. The management of practically all shops, factories and all other large em ployers of labor in the city are said to belong to the Citizens Alliance. This statement comes from officers of that or ganization. The open shop Is the cardinal principle of the alliance, and is being en couraged by that organization all over the United States. Samuel Connell is president of the local organization of the Ci-'zent" Allinace. Al exander Kunz Is secretary. The owners and managers of the machine shops, iron works and foundries represented in the United Metal Trades Association, which has declared an open shop after Decem ber 1, are members of the Citizens' Alli ance, but this is said to limit by no means the sphere of the organization's influence In the city. Secretary Kunz declares that employers generally throughout Portland are strongly allied with his 1 association. Plans of Organization Concealed. "We are not at liberty to reveal what we expect to do," said Mr. Kunz last night. "The open shop, however, is tho strong card of the Citizens Alliance. How widespread this movement will be in Portland we are not yet prepared to say. Whether the other memebrs of the organi zation will insist upon enforcement of open-shop principles at this time will de pend upon circumstances. What these are I cannot say. "In insisting upon the open shop we are not aiming a blow at the unions. This is no light against them. It Is sim ply insisting upon a great American prin ciple, and that is the right of every man to work." Workmen in the metal trades are not yet prepared to say whether strike will be declared when the open-shop order be comes effective. None of the unions have held meetings yet, and until they do It cannot be known what action will be taken. The molders will probably call a special meeting before Monday to consider the open -shop proposition. Their next regular meeting will not be held until a week from tonight. The machinists will meet tomorrow night, and the bollermak ers are expected to get togeti.tr before Monday. Concerted action by all three unions will undoubtedly be taken. Open -shop ccla ration. The declaration of the open-shop princi ple, set forth in the notices posted by the United Metal Trades Association, Is as follows: We. the members of the United Metal Trail s Association, declare the following 1o be our principles, w iich shall govern ua In nur relation with our employes: First. Since, we. as employers, are te nnnslble for the work turned out by our workman, we must, therefore, have full discretion to designate the men we consider competent to perform the work and to de termine the condition! under which that work shall be prosecuted, the question of tho competency of the men being determined solely by us. While disavowing any Inten tion to interfere with the proper functions of labor organizations, we will not admit of any interference with the management of our business. Socond. Disapproving absolutely of strikes and lockouts, the members of this asso ciation will not arbitrate any question with men on strike. Neither will this associ ation countenance a lockout on any arbi trable question unless arbitration has failed. Third. Employment No discrimination will be made against any man because of his membership in any society or organization. Every workman who elects to work in a shop will be required to work peaceably and harmoniously with all his fellow employes. Fourth. Apprentices, helpers and hand? men The number of apprentices, helpers and handy men to be employed will be de termined solely by the employer. Fifth. Methods and wages Employers nhall be free to employ their work people at wages mutually satisfactory. We will not permit employes to place any restric tion on the management, methods or pro duction of our chops, and will require a fair day's work for a fair day's pay. Em ployes will be paid by the hourly rate, by premium system, piece work or contract, as the employers may elect. Sixth. It is the privilege of the employe to leave our employ whenever he sees fit, and It is the privilege of the employer to dis ;harge any workman when he sees fit. Not Subject to Arbitration. Seventh. The above principles being abso lutely essential to the successful conduct of our businrss, they are not subject to arbitration. Eighth. Wages and hours Wages and hours being governed by local conditions, .hall be arranged by the local association in each district. In the operation of piece work or ontract system now in force or to be extended or established In the future, this Association will not countenance any conditions of wages which are not Just, or which will not allow a workman of aver age efficiency to earn at least a fair wage. Arbitration In case of disagreement con cerning matters not covered by the forego ing declaration, we advise our members to meet their employes, either Individually or collectively, and endeavor to adjust the dif ficulty on a fair and equitable basis. In case of inability to reach a satisfactory ad justment, we advise that they submit the question to arbitration by a board composed of six persons, three to be chosen by the employer and three to be chosen by the employe or employes. In order to receive the benefits of arbitration, the employe or employes must continue in th service and under the orders of the employers pending a decision. In case any member refuses to comply with this recommendation, he shall be de nied th- support of this association unless It shall approve the action of said member. Statement by President Corbett. President W. H. Corbett, of the United Metal Trades Association of the Pacific Coast, and also president of the Wil lamette Iron & Steel Works, said yester day: The morning paper has fired the flrst gun In reference to open-sho) metal workers in the city of Portland. It was a matter of business policy, which has been decided upon by the shopowners of this city, and bus heen under consideration for the last six months, and Its culmination at this particular period has no reference whatever to the temporary period of financial strin gency and industrial depression from wiilch this country is so unjustly suffering at this ime Lone before any sign of this de pression was on our horizon the open-shop pulley and the time of Its Inauguration in our shops had been decided upon. It is therefore apparent that the con clusions of some of the unions that we were taking advantage of the present con ditions is erroneous In fact, there has been considerable discussion among us as to the advisability of postponing our action until normal conditions were resumed. However, these questions as to motives, etc., will always be viewed from various stand points by different people, and that the people of Portland may start off with a clear conception of Just what i all means we will take this opportunity at the very Inception of things to state as clearly as possible the reasons for our action. There are no secrets about this open-shop matter as applied to our industry, and we are sending you a copy of the open-shop declaration of principles of the United Metal Trades Association of the Pacific Coast. This Is one of the same notices that was posted in the various shops of the city, and we request that you duplicate it In connection with this article. It sounds good to us. and we fall to see anything In it which Is discordant with the inter ests of a well-balanced American mechanic. It certainly does not suit some of the mod ern ideas of trades unionism. We are at all times brought into pretty close touch with these ideas, and we really have not got a great deal of respect for them. We feel that trade unionism was probably con veived by people who had the best of mo tives and who very properly wished to pro tect legitimate trades from abuses that might easily be inaugurated by an unscru pulous manufacturer. These original prin ciples have been changed and modified until the modern practices of trade unions aa evidenced by their frequent enforcements are an absolute disgrace to the country and offer one of the most threatening menaces to the continual industrial supremacy of the United States. San Francisco as Example. Where these principles have become deeply rooted and generally recognized, as they have been in cities like San Fran cisco, the results are notoriously disastrous. We feel that the Northwest has arrived at that Interesting place where it must decide for Itself what policy it is going to estab lish In Its attempt to become a factor In the wonderful era of progress which Is spreading over the Pacific Coast. Manu facturing Is going to be one of the chief elements of this progress, and our ability to manufacture in competition with the East Is going to depend upon whether we let the labor unions get a strangle hold on us or whether we maintain our ability to run our own business along Just and logical lines. We believe we can see the growth and importance of Portland more rapidly and firmly worked out along these lines than along the lines which have governed the growth of San Francisco In other words, along the lines of labor union domination. As before noted, we think that unionism originally had considerable justice in it, and in some ways it has yet; but In other ways It has absolutely gone to seed, and it is Im possible for us to work In harmony with Its principles any longer. It Is also our belief that the better and more Intelligent class of mechanics In this city are not in har mony with its principles as at present In terpreted. It Is true they all belong to the various branches of it, not because they need It or want it. but because if they don't they are subjected to such a constant volume of petty abuses that they prefer to pay the price of immunity. The poor class of mechanics all need the trades union. It gives them a good, com fortable berth on the shoulders of the hon est workmen, where they can be carried along with the least possible work and greatest possible comfort, and therefore they fight for It, tooth and nail, just the same as a professional politician fights for his office. We believe that some day, with in a short time, the majority of the honest and intelligent mechanics of the United States will grow very tired of this burden and desire to stand strictly on their own merits, getting wages in proportion to their ability and being free to exert that ability for their own benefit. For that reason we are going to help Portland to maintain the good start that has already been made here in this direc tion. So far as the general public Is con cerned, we don't take ourselves over-serl-ously and neither court their approval nor ask for their support. We realize that for the time being we are but a small inciden tal Industry In this part of the country, but we know what our own problems are and we believe that we are doing the consistent thing for ourselves, for our mechanics and for the city of Portland. GIRLS TO WORK HALF TIME County Clerk Reduces Force Be cause of Continued Holidays. Employee of at least one department of the county are to feel the effect of the holidays In the matter of pay. County Cleric Fields yesterday notified 10 young women employed In his office that, beginning: next Monday, they would be employed only half time. Mr. Fields, in referring: to this cut ting' down of his force, said that since the holidays were called there had been an opportunity to bring copying and Indexing up to date, and that by Satur day, if the holidays continue, there would be absolutely nothing for a por tion of his force to do. He said he gave the matter much thought before acting, and concluded not to discharge any of his force. The only way he could retain all his copying clerks, he explained, was to have them work half time during the holidays, so that when they are over he will have his experi enced people ready to start In on full time again, and the work of the office need not be delayed by breaking In new typewriter operators. One of the young women may not accept the offer of Mr. Fields, but so far as he knew yes terday, the others will stay on, for a few weeks at least. The men employes are not affected, for the reason that the Assessor took over five clerks Into his department, cutting down the force In the main office to two, and the same number in the Circuit Court office. When courts resume sessions there will be a great rush of business in the Clerk's depart ments, already there being quite a stack of documents piled up waiting the end of the holidays so that they may be entered of record.

HASSLER GIVES TESTIMONY Fireman of J. X. Teal Recovers and Mnkes Statement to Inspectors. John Hassler. fireman on the steamer J. N. Teal, which was destroyed by fire at the Oak-street dock on the morning of October 23. was examined before United States Inspectors Edwards and Fuller yesterday. Hassler was badly burned at the time of the accident, and has been in the hospital between the date of the burning and Tuesday of this week. Hassler's testimony throws little more light on the case than that which has already been presented. He stated the time he went on watch and of his move ments between that time and the time of the explosion. He testified to the fact that he shut off the oil, as he had 200 pounds of steam, and that his efforts to relight the oil were unavailing. He opened the valve, under a 40-pound pres sure, and then he was blown ud. The Inspectors will announce a de cision in the case the first of the week. COROXA WILL BE SAVED Craft Has Been Partly Pumped Out and Conditions Are Favorable. Word was received yesterday from C. P. Doe. manager of the North Pacific Steamship Company, who has been work ing on the wreck of the steamship Corona, at the entrance to the Hum boldt Bay. to the effect that as soon as the weather settles an effort will be made to float the steamer. All holes in her hull have been ef fectually stopped and the water In her hold reduced seven feet. During the past two weeks there has been considerable heavy weather along the Coast and It was found to be practically impossible to work to advantage until after the storm has settled. The Corona was wrecked on the spit at the entrance to Eureka on March 1 of this year. She was sold to Doe for a small sum. If Mr. Doe succeeds In float ing the Corona she will be brought to One Ask your doctor to frankly, just what Cherry Pectoral.

Positive Cures FOR WEAK MEN THE METHODS BY WHICH I CURE MEN S DISEASES ARE ORIGINAL WITH ME. They are a result of my observation and study during years' practice as a special ist. This should especially appeal to THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN DISAPPOINTED in their efforts to obtain relffef, and should aid all af flicted men IN THE CHOICE OF A PHY SICIAN. As to my understanding of men's diseases and the scientific correctness of my treatment. MY UNEQUALED SUCCESS IN EFFECTING PERMANENT CURES speaks suf flclontly. $ io MY FEE IN ANY UNCOMPLICATED DISORDER PAY WHEN WELL Don't pay an exorbitant or fancy fee to any doctor, for I guarantee you a cure for the above nominal sum. I make this offer to every ailing man. My methods are safe, sure and quick of results. See me today, or as soon as possible. I will charge you nothing for a consultation and diagnosis. I will tell you the nature and extent of your ailment and Just how I can cure you. I especially Invite those who have deep-seated and chronic disorders to call and be examined. I want every man who Is ailing or weak to come to me and get the benefit of my never-falling treatment for men's diseases. My offices are equipped with the most modern and scientific devices for the treatment and cure of all CHRONIC, DEEP-SEATED, COMPLI CATED DISEASES. I treat men only, and confine my practice to NERVOUS WEAKNESS. VARICOCELE, STRICTURE. CONTRACTED DISORDERS. CONTAGIOUS BLOOD POISON, BLADDER AND KIDNEY DISORDERS. WHAT WEAKNESS IS AND HOW I CURE IT. "Weakness" is merely a jymptom of chronic Inflammation In the prostate gland, brought on by early dissipation or by the Improper treatment of some contracted disease. A complete and radical cure Is. therefore, a question of restoring the prostate gland to its normal state, and this I accomplish promptly and completely without the use of In ternal remedies. My treatment Is a local one entirely. It is original and scientific, and has been proven absolutely effective by thousands of tests. I am convinced that by no other methods can full and perma nent restoration of strength and vigor be accomplished. VARICOCELE CURED WITHOUT CUTTING. I guarantee to cure varicocele in one week by a method that In volves neither cutting nor the use of fiery caustic. No other physician employs a like method, and so thorough Is my work that there need not he the slightest fear of a relapse Into the old condition. Those who have been long afflicted with varicocele will never realize the Injury it has caused until they feel the vim, energy and buoyancy of spirits that a complete cure will bring. CONTRACTED DISORDERS. In no other ailment peculiar to men Is a prompt and thorough cure so essential. Contracted disorders tend to work backward until the most vital nerve centers become involved In the Inflammation. Then follows a chronic stage Jhat stubbornly resists all ordinary treatment. Safety demands that evei-y vestige of Infection be eradicated at the earliest possible moment. My treatment is thorough. The remedies employed have a more positive action than has ever before been attained and so perfect Is my method of application that even chronic cases yield completely.
