J s y - THE SUNDAY OREGON IAN, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 17, 1907. '0 a RNTFRSn E Ma 0 S-iHcnasE of pay hefused, the - Employes of ob Shops Will Walk Out Wednesday. UNION AUTHORIZES STRIKE Irlnt Minimum WnRC Scale Now Jtl!.20 a' Vcek, and Vnloii Demands $22.50 Employers' Offer of Compromise Kejected. Nearly 1"J journeyman job primers ot Pouland will strike Wednesday morning inlesa their demands for an increased wage scale are granted. I-ate yesterday ifternoon the members of tlie loual Typo graphical Union met and authorized the -Mrlke. which means that unless the ein oloyers grant the raise the job ami book printing business In Portland will come 10 a standstill. The Typographical Union ontrols the trade in Portland, and prlnt rs must belong to the union in order to get work, as the "closed shop" princl- n'e w universally observed. Ti? prinieij made a request recently nut the ininlinum wage scale for job ters be raised from $19.20 a week to a week. 1 Me employers met r nday niglit to discuss the iiiestiou. and Instead of grantlns: the raised offered the print "rs a co?inter proposition in ttie nature of a compromise. When the employers were heard from special meeting of the printers was Hlled for late yesterday afternoon. There was a large attendance of the ; nicnibers if the local union anu-by practically a unanimous vote It was decided to author He the job printers to walk out provided the employers did not come to terms. He fore tile job printers could strike they had to obtain the consent of 'the majority of the members of the union. ..... The employers are dissatisfied with the present agreement with .the journeymen (ini1 it is possible that, a feriotjs- strike will result, as the printers are obdurate and are not willing to agree to less than J?i.rii). The employers are also holding out for more apprentices. Now they are al lowed but one apprentice for. five journey man and only two apprentices are allowed ach shop. They ask that they be al lowed two apprentices for every four journeymen and not more' than three ap prentices for any shop. It is understood that the printers arc willing to allow the employers more apprentices. Good print-' ers are hard to obtain, so the employers Jor.icml. and that is why they ask for more apprentices. ... Practically every printer In Portland Is a member of the Typographical rniou. which is recognized as one of the strong est labor organizations-, in the country. That they can tie up the job and book printing business Is undisputed, as it would be practically impossible to Import outside workmen, since nonunion printers are not to be had. There are only a few printing and publishing houses in ..the United States that conduct open shops. $21,000 ALREADY RAISED Campaign for A. Building V. M. Ci.A.-V. V. C.

FISA receive about 750 more every month when tlie advances go into effect. The Western Union operators and the heads of the operating departments will re ceive a raise of 10 per cent and the Postal operators will receive an. in crease of 13 per cent. William Dumars, superintendent of the local Western Union office, has re ceived official notification of the in creased salaries of the operators of his company fn Portland, which raise goes Into effect March 1.. John Annand, su perintendent of the 'J'ostal, has not re ceived word of the raise of the operat ors in the Portland office, as the an nouncement was made in the East only last Friday. As Portland is one of the principal offices of the company, the log ical conclusion Is that the 15 per cent raise will-be enjoyed by the operators here. " The two companies employ nearly 70 operators in Portland, and they are about the happiest men In town. The Western Union employs nearly 50, In clpding tlie chief operators, and c. an average- they make not less than $100 a month. Their monthly payroll amounts .to $5000. As soon as the raise goes into effect the payroll of the Western Union will be increased to about $5500 a month. The maximum . wage scale of the Western Union Js $80 a month, but many of the- operators who work overtime make as much as $130 and $1 40 a month. The're Aire- but few of them who do not make more than their regular morithly salary. Besides the Western Union has bonus wires out of Portland, which enable the speedy operators to Increase the sie of their checks. When working on the principal wires, known as bonus" wires, they receive 1 cent a. message for every message over 30 they send within an hour.' Some of the men have been known to dispose of as many as 75 messages an hour, which means an additional 45 cents for -the hour -for them. The maximum monthly wage of the Postal Is $90, but there are no bonus wires running out of Portland. The operators of the Postal will average $100,' about the same'as the men of the Western Union. The Postal gives em ployment to 17 operators, and their In red letters: "W0 want justice for Moyer. Heywood and Pettlbone, and we'll have it." "Moyer.

"If you hang Moyer, Heywood and Pettibone, hang us; we're just as guilty." Members of the Freight Handlers' Union, it. is reported, will be fined $2 for absence from the parade.
