TllK systematic mul pofsistent knocking of Orejjoii by the Central Labor council oC Port land is bearing its fruit. Every paper in the space to tho lying circular 1 cooping out labor, to force labor in Oretron. The same employed successfully in San Francisco after tho earth quake. Of course tho real animus of tho move is to make Port land a "closed" town and it is hoped to accomplish this end by shutting out competition from Mho labor marts of the east. But tho methods adopted by tho labor council ire calculated not only to shut out labor, but also capital and thus prevent the development or tho state and its resources. Portions of tho state will always remain a wilderness unless wo got the people here to develop them, Bedford has spent many thousands of dollars and is today spending thousands more advertising this section east to induce immigration, though it lias never adver tised for labor. And yet the effect of tho advertising is largely offset by the free space given tho labor council's knocks in tho press. Scarcely a day but. that marked copies arc received by this paper, containing the printed falsehoods. The labor council sent one circular to every largo news paper and to tho governors of every eastern state. They sent another of different form to every union secretary in tho east. This latter epistle goes out of its way to knock Mcdford. After stating that there are 10.000 idle men in Portland, which is false, it goes on to state: "In many instances men havo brought largo, families to this new country of undeveloped resources, only to bo compelled to ask tho city and county officials to give them the bread to keep their loved ones from the awful pangs of starvation. This conditiohxis prevalent over all Oregon. From the widely advertised Mcdford in southern Oregon, a city of 15,000 inhabitants, conies the message that a thousand men are unemployed in that town no chance to work. S3JWli "We ask you, therefore, to place this state of affairs before the membership of your locals and sec that this information is given widest publicity in your papers. En closed are a few posters which we wish you would post in conspicuous places about the meeting halls of the working men and women, that thev may not be misled or inveigled into venturing into Oregon." The percentage of unemployed iri Mcdford is very small compared to those of other cities of its size today. It is doabtful if there arc more than a thousand workmen in the City all told. The poor man has as good a chance, probably better, in southern Oregon than elsewhere. The soil is remark ably fertile and resrionds instantly to industry. A living is very easily made but the hand-to-mouth helpless and shiftless arc not needed. No' matter what the conditions surrounding them, they will, always he poverty stricken. There are too many who blame everything under the sun for failure, except the real cause themselves. Organized labor is not strengthening itself any by ls rse in knocking Oregon. The desired ends could K0 course in Knocking Uregon. Tlio desired ends could nave been attained without blackening the fail' fame of the $tate. ; , " .'jApmB OREGON GUARD TOJEJALLED In Case of Intervention In Mexico, Militia Will Be Sent to Frontier Mobilization Will Be Held at Clackamas Rifle Range.
