RATE EFFECTIVE JUNE 1 fcclicIiilc of Last Year Will Govern Vnlil Thrn 35 Cents and 50 Cents for Overtime Is Agreed I pon. Brtwern June 1. 1. and April 1. pralnhandlrs on Portlsnd docks will re cf'ive r cents an lionr for straight time and . crnts an hour for ail overtime. Thrt old schedule nf 40 cents and AO cents will remain in effect until June 1. The nvn will return to work this morning. The settlement of the difficulty between th exrmtterj and tlie dockworkers wea rffectcd yesterday when both sides made comssions of greater or less importance. The nwcting whs hold in the office of Kerr, GifTorri A- Co.. and lasted about an hour. The employers agreed to allow the old tfJo until June 1 and the men ai nwd thn ."VWent overtime rate instead ot' the cents, as demanded. Kor three w.'eks there has been an un settled condition on the docks. The grain handlers w-re working under a contract and the wages stood at 40 cents an hour Jor stmight time and 6ft cents an hour for all overtime. This contract expired April 1 and the workers desired a renewal. Kxportrs refused. Conditions on Puget Suund. where the dockworkers receive 30 cenis an hour and 40 cents for overtime, were cited, but the men held out for a renewal of the old contract. At a meet ing between exporters and men, propo sitions were offered by each. The dock workers demanded 35 cents sn hour and cpnts for overtime. The shippers offered 35 cents an hour and 45 cents for overtime. At the end of the week the exporters went up 2' cents on overtime. This the men would not accept, and they quit work, pending a settlement of the difficulties. Tt is stated on good authority that the matter would have been settled some time nno had it not been for a number of members of the CJrainhandlers' Union, who are single men, have no homes and who desired a continuation of the diffi culties in order to permit them to go fishing. The wiieat ships in port, loading of which has been delayed by the action of the gralnhandlers. will begin work Im mediately. The first one will be the Alice Marie, which has a part cargo on board. She will be finished and sent to Astoria within a day or so. The Alice Marie should have been out of the way last week, but the strike of the dock workers prevented. Four or five of the vessels will get away by the end of the month. inset ssf;s WAGE QUESTION Mem1er of Grainliandlers I n ion (ives His Ideas. PORTLAND. April 20. (To the' Kdi tor.) I deem It my duty to give my rea sons for recommending a reduction of wages at this time. The wages paid on the Sound for the same class ofVwork is about 'JO per cent less than here; there Is not that much difference in the cost of living. There is a difference to this ex tent, that corporations of large interests both here nnd on the Sound are willing to grant 5 cents per hour more in Port land than on the Sound, acknowledging the fart that the cost of living is that much greater here. The question arises, are we paid too much in Portland for our labor or are the men on the Sound paid too little? To begin with, the grain season lasts only about seven months, and a man handling grain, in Portland receives 40c per hour for a nine-hour day. and time and a half for overtime, which very sel dom occurs, and which is not relished by the employe, because after nine hours constantly handling sacks of wheat where muscle and activity are the only neces sary requirements, he is willing and anx ious to go home and rest: which any t honorable man will admit he Is entitled to. For his nine hours work he re reives $.1.60. or Sl.60 for his week's pay, which figures out about ff90 per month. The season lasts about seven months, so you see the steadily employed grain handler averages about $630 per seaeon. He is adrift for tne remaining five months and is very fortunate if he makes $150 in that time, after which he usually goes hack to handling grain again. So you see he don't make $900 for his year's work. Will any fair-minded man admit he is paid too much wages? Grain handlers here are all good American citizens and good Portland citizens also. The majority of them are married men nnd own their homes, or partly so. They huve families and take the same pride In them that fmy other good citizen does and are desirous of giving them an edu cation that will enable them to stand the same chances for success aa our neighbor's children. Is $S00 per year sufficient? I say no. I say It is not enough and that the men on the Sound are working too cheap, and cheap labor means degraded citizenship, which we must all endeavor to avoid. Again. Portland has a natural advan tage which neither of the Sound cities enjoy it is situated near the confluence of two fresh-wnter rivers emptying into the Pacific Ocean, and which drain the agricultural land of three of our Western- States. The products from this ter ritory flow down these two fresh-water rivers or slide on the rails to Portland. a city which all seafaring men admit Is more beneficial to a ship after a long voyage in salt water than the expense incurred by placing it in the drydock to be cleaned and painted, should it arrive in a salt-water port. That is another reason why exporters can afford to pay more wages and make more profits for themselves here than on the Sound. The grainhandlers and all other unions of our city believe in the theory of the employes of any particular industry who meet with prosperity, to share In the prosperity of said industry, aud if It should moet with adversity we arc also willing to take our share, but at the present time we see no reason why the exporters are handing us a pill which was not honestly prescribed. However, we have concluded to swal low it for a time, so as to avoid a con flict, which no doubt would retard busi ness and the prosperity of our city dur ing Its existence. We will place our case before a jury composed of the. entire public Interested and ask them to render a decision, so that the workingmen of our city may know whether they are gomg to lower the standard of living of ..our craft or proclaim we are entitled to a wage which will enable us to live and educate our children as true and free Americans.

The steamer Eureka, of the North Pa- ciflc Steamship Company, reached Fort land yesterday morning from Eureka and Coo Bay. The vessel will sail again for the South this evening.

Teal, has resigned com mand of that craft and will leave the vessel as soon as a successor has been appointed. The action of Captain Geer is a surprise to his many friends. Cap tain Geer left the service of the Regulator line to accept a position with the Open River Company when the old steamer Teal was under construction. He was master of the steamer at the time she was burned, on the morning of October 23, of last year. The J. N. Teal started on the Summer schedule yesterday morn inn.- She left the Oak-street dock at i o'clock and had on board about 100 tons of freight.

WILL RESUME CASE TODAY Arguments Made on Whether Pur chase or Bogus Money, After ward Passed as Good, Is a Crime. Ijittle progress had teen made yes tprdav in the Federal Court in the trial of Edward Sheehan. Frank Caviness, J. '. Savior and M. J. Iorsey, chanted with using the mails fraudulently, when Judge Wolverton consented to an adjournment of court until 10 o'clock today, to enable counsel to submit authorities in the argument of an ob jection urged by John F. Logan, attor ney for Sheehan, to the introduction of certain testimony by United States At torney McCourt, for the Government. Logan questioned the right of the prosecution to offer as testimony corre spondence that passed between some of the defendants and the Chicago curio house from which the spurious banknotes were procured and after ward distributed in this community. Logan maintained that the transaction between the defendants on trial and the curio dealer in Chicago was entire ly regular, while District Attorney Mc Court contended that the correspond ence was vital to the Government's ease, as proving a connecting link in the conspiracy of the defendants to de fraud the public by passing the spuri ous money. Judge Wolverton this morning will hear further argument on the objection before deciding the interesting legal point that hae been raised. R. H. Wells was indicted with the four defendants now on trial. but pleaded guilty some time ago, and will be the principal witness for the Gov ernment against his alleged confeder ates. It is charged against the accused that they bought a monSy order at the Portland Postoffice and enclosed it in a letter through the mails to Stevens & Company, of Chicago, for a quantity of the worthless banknotes, which were afterward delivered through the mails to members of the gang in Portland, under the fictitious name of Conncrs. Witnesses for the Government are prepared to testify that these bogus notes were afterward passed in Port land and vicinity. Postal Clerk a Witness. One of the first witnesses called by the Government yesterday was Lincoln Smith, clerk in the money-order de partment of the local Postoffice, by whom jthe prosecution expected to prove the purchase by members of the gang of a money order, payable to Stevens & Company, of Chicago. Be sides, the Government is in possession of the letter that accompanied" the money-order, and in which the number and denomination of the desired bank notes were indicated. When this evi dence was offered, Attorney Logan ob jected vigorously. He insisted that it was not alleged that Stevens & Com pany had been defrauded, and for that reason any correspondence that passed between the defendants and that firm was not admissible in the case on trial. District Attorney McCourt contended that the evidence was both relevant and material, as tending to prove a transaction necessary to the perpetra tion of the fraud; that the defendants had in mind the passing of the bogus currency on the public, and by their correspondence with Stevens & Com pany ordered the goods with that pur pose in view, and for that reason used the mails fraudulently. The Govern ment's prosecutor made the further point -that the fraudulent passing of theT banknotes could not be effected until the worthless currency had been obtained, and maintained that the de fendants knew this and ordered the paper money for the purpose of pass ing it and defrauding the public. Will Consult Authorities. Recognizing the importance of the objection and a decision on the ques tion. Judge Wolverton consented to the suggestion of Mr. McCourt and ad journed court until this morning, when authorities will be presented by oppos ing counsel in support of their respec tive contentions.

During the trial all witnesses on both sides are excluded from the courtroom, with the exception of Postal Inspector Clement, who, as agent for the Government, collected" much of the evidence that will be of fered against the accused.

BREAKS UP HAPPY HOME Mother's Unfaithfulness Eventually Sends Son to Antipodes. .CLIFFS, Wash., April 20. (Special. ) John A. Cress, a ranchman, living near the Columbia River, a few miles east of Cliffs, received a message last week from Washington, D. C. that his son, Lloyd, was dead in the Philippines, and asking the disposition of the body. Lloyd Cress has had rather a sad career. His parents were married near Cedar Rapids, la., more than 20 years ago. In 18S8 they cam to Klickitat County. About eight years ago they separated. The husband, a stockman, was away from home a great deal, and on coming In from the mountain range in and around the Mount Adams coun try discovered finally that another man was winning his wife's love. For sev eral months he tried to persuade her to throw aside the rival, but was un successful. Finally It was mutually agreed to separate, the mother taking the two girls and the father the two boys and dividing the property equal ly. In time the mother applied for a divorce, got it without opposition and later on married the man that broke up the home. Lloyd and his brother were placed in good homes and the father had them schooled. At 16 Lloyd was larger than his father, and they were soon partners in the stock business, and were inseparable. A year ago the father told his boys he was going to marry ag'aln. This they resented, saying they preferred to live independently. Finally Lloyd became restless and told his father h was going away. Suddenly all com munication stopped, but the message just received Indicates that he joined Company F, Fourteenth Regiment, Oregon Volunteers, and sailed for Ma nila. The body will be shipped to Centerville, Wash. WILLING TO STOP SERVICE Trolley Company Says It Loses Money on Freight-Cars, B. S. Josselyn, president of tne. Port land Railway, Light & Power Com pany, has sent the following letter to Mayor Lane: , In answer to your recent letter to me as president of the Portland General Electric Company, and aeklns if that company is operating freighlcars over its lines of street railway. I have to say: TMat the Portland General Electric Com pany has no lines of street railway or of railway in the City of Portland-, nor has it ever owned or operated any such lints The Portland Railway, Light & Power Company and tb Portland Railway Com pany, of which I am the president, do operate freightcars over their respective lines. Al most all such freigrhtears are run or operated under franchises authorizing the same. In some instances freightcars are run over lines of railway, the franchises of which do not mention the operation of freightcars, al though there is no prohibition nor provisions prohibiting the operation of freightcars. I refer especially to ordinances of the City of Portland 13,089 and 13,177. Such freight cars are run at a lofw to the company, ajid merely to accommodate suburban residents. The use of such freightcars has been, at least, tacitly acquiesced In by the City of Fortland. The company operating these cars prefers not to do so. It ham done so wholly as a matter of accommodation. If the City of Portland desires that the running of these freightcars which are run wholly as a. matter of accommodation to suburban residents, as hereinbefore set forth, should cease, the company operating them is willing to discontinue running them on twing so informed by the proper authorities of the City, although it will work a hardship on such suburban residents.
