Organization and Leaders
Get List of Names.
ALL CLASSES INCLUDED
Fir l Chapter of Kind With 1300
Members AVouId Be Ready to
Fight Dismissals or Changes
In Municipal Offices.
An effort to organize all the city
civil service employes into a union to
be affiliated with the American Fed
eration of Labor is to be put under
way. today.
Although no public announcement of
the plan i:as been made it has been
learned that at the meeting of the
Central Labor Council last Friday
night the plan was definitely decided
upon and work of organizing is to be
pushed.
Stenographer Secure Names.
The first step in the movement was
to get the names of all the employes.
A stenographer completed this work
yesterday, and it is understood the list
will be turned over to the Labor Coun
cil at its weekly meeting tonight. The
council will refer the names to the
organization committee, it is under
stood, and this body will commence Its
campaign at once.
it is probable that an attempt will be
made first to get one or two members
in each division of the city service Into
the union. Application then will be
made to the American Federation of
Labor for a charter. The charter mem
bers will win over other employes.
Those behind the movement hope to
get a strong membership.
On what scale the plan will be car
ried out is not certain as yet. It is
known, however, that the stenographer
secured the 1300 names, and it is
thought all classes of employes will be
Included In the union. If perfected this
will be the first union of this class of
employes formed in Portland with an
affiliation with the American Federa
tion. In the service are policemen, fire
men, laborers, stenographers, clerks,
engineers, professional men and other
The plan to organize the service is
thought to he one of the developments
of the organization several months ago
of workmen in the water department
under City Commissioner Daly. It is
understood that such an organization
was perfected and that about 100 mem
bers were procured, and that the body
received a charter.
Among those behind the movement
to organize the men in the water de
partment was G. L. Walker, foreman
of a crew of laborers. Mr. Walker was
discharged from the service, and al
though he made a hard fight he failed
to get back as foreman. He was, how
ever, given a chance to go back as a
laborer.
Dismissals to Be Fought.
Th nnrnose of a civil service union
Is said to be the same as a union of
carpenters, bricklayers or Jfttter trades.
It is to band together to prevent dis
missal from the service and to combat
in an organized way attempts at dis
missals or undesirable changes in
working conditions or transfers in
service.
Although members of the City Com
mission have not been advised of the
plan it is expected they will object to
It on the ground that it would de
moralize the service and would damage
the effectiveness of civil service.
bickering of the City Commission early
this year over new paving specifica
tions, the mileage of new pavement
for the year will fall below the mile
age of any year since 1909, according
to estimates made by the department
of public works.
It is expected that the total of new
paving for this year will not be more
than 25 miles. Last year it was 47
miles. The total amount of paved
streets in the city Is about 400 miles,
costing approximately J13,000,000. In
cluding macadam roadway, there Is a
total pavement of about 700 miles.
VANC0UVERFAIR LAUDED
Commercial Club Men Recount Won
ders of Xext Week's Show.
That there will be "something do
ing" in Vancouver, Wash., next week,
was asserted vociferously yesterday by
W. J. Kinney, president of the Van
couver Commercial Club, and C. A.
Watts, the secretary.
"I just dropped in to tell you about
UOV HUNTER GETS PICTURE
AS BEAST ATTACKS MACHINE.
Paul J. Ralner.
The champion lion hunter of
the world, Paul J. Rainey, who
lately returned from British East
Africa, narrowly escaped being
killed by one of the monarchs of
the Jungle on the expedition.
"I was operating a moving
picture machine when I came face
to face with 'his majesty,' " re
marked Mr. Rainey. "About 60
yards away was a clump of
bushes. Suddenly a gigantia lion
came bounding toward me with
great catlike leaps. I kept turn
ing the crank of the machine and
wondering vaguely what would
happen.
"My companion, Harold Hill,
fired. Within 30 feet of the
camera the beast turned a com
plete somersault, landing within
five feet of the machine. Then
down he thudded on his back and
rolled over dead."
Mr. Rainey's motion picture of
a charging lion will be seen at
the Heillg Theater next week,
among his other exciting and
unique African hunt pictures.
POLICE WIN MAYOR OVER
Executive Approves of Proposed Ex
ploitation Tour of Band.
It took but one selection of soft
music for the police band yesterday to
win the consent of Mayor Albee to
permit the band to take a trip over
the country next May for the purpose
of exploiting Portland. The Mayor an
nounced when the band finished sere
nading him at the City Hall that he
favored the trip and was willing that
the men should go. The only thing
asked by the policemen was that all
be given their vacations at the same
time. They will go on their own vaca
tion time and on money to be raised by
themselves.
After winning the Mayor the band
proceeded to make other friends by the
same method. The morning was de
voted to serenading the newspaper of
fices, theaters arid other places which
the policemen hope to have as support
ers in their campaign to raise money
for the trip. Money for the trip is t
be raised by a series of concerts and
entertainments of other kinds.
TWO FILE DIVORCE SUITS
3Irs. J. J. Keeney Accused of "Cruel
and Inhuman Treatment."
Jonathan J. Keeney yesterday

for divorce on the ground of cruel
and Inhuman treatment Personal in
dignities are alleged and it Is charged
by the husband that his wife habit
ually went to dances with one John
Doe, much to his humiliation. The
custody of the two older children is
asked by the plaintiff, who also re
quests that the two younger be placed
in the care of their mother.
"Gruff and sullen when company was
present at their home," is the charge
brought against Asa C. Burdick in a
divorce suit filed by his wife. Maud,
vesterday. It Is alleged he had been
morose and cruel in his treatment of
her and has made threats, by reason
of which she has become afraid.

"It's groin" tuh be Frontier day," an
nounced Mr. Watts.

said Mr. Kinney with dignity, "Is the

way, it's going to be the biggest event

don't see what you want, ask for it.
"All our hotel and restaurant men
have organized a trust to prevent one
another from holding up the public.
Every charge will be standardized.
Every available room in town has been
listed. The charge will be $1 a room
and no more."
The show will start next Monday,

ANIMVAMNIA TABLETS FOR
Locomotor
Ataxia
In a very Interesting article on Locomotor
Ataxia, Dr. Henry C. Story says that drags
have practically no beneficial effect In these
cases. He says that rest should be Insisted
upon, and there should be no worries or
troubles. Plenty of fresh air and moderate
exercise must be insisted upon, but over
exertion Is lnlnrlous. The use of tobacco
and alcohol should be strictly forbidden,
and over-eating Is dangerous, especially
when the lood is poorly masticacea. une
food must be of the most nourishing kind.
and the quantity and variety must be
changed so that the patient will not lose his
appetite. The most annoying symptom m
these cases is the pain which at times is
almost unbearable. Dr. Story says that be
finds two Antl-kamnla Tablets repeated In an
hour If necessary, gives prompt relief and
res to the patient. These Tablets can be
obtained at all druggists In any quantity
desired. Ask for A-K Tablets.
Also unexcelled for headaches, neuralgia
and all Pain.
WHY NOT?
Tou do not buy an automobile
without first comparing the claims
of the various manufacturers.
You would not choose a piano
without much the same Inquiry?
Why is not the same rule good
on all purchases?
Why buy as much as a package of
breakfast food haphazard?
It does not take much time or
trouble to get information.
The advertising columns of the
newspapers are a public market
plaoe In which reputable manufac
turers and dealers meet to exploit
their claims.
