Impetus for General Strike.
CHICAGO, Aug. 21. Labor lead
ers of National repute admit today
that the success of the English strik
ers had given Impetus for a general
strike in America, the object of
which, they say, will be to secure
the mastery of labor.
Serious labor difficulties among
railroad, steel and coal workers are
predicted. Involving 370.000 coal
miners. 700,000 railway workers and
300,000 employes of the steel trust.
The first trouble which may result
In a monster walkout, it is said, is
the coal mining industry when the
contracts expire April 1. It is said
that they will demaud the "same
conditions and wages that were ob
tained in Illinois" where the highest
wages are paid and excellent working
facilities are provided. This demand
will be made, labor leaders say, to
equalize the profit now made ' by
Eastern mine operators and prevent
the Illinois operators from closing
down their mines as they have
threatened to do.

Consistency is a rare jewel, and It
till makes a difference whose ox is
sored. The Portland papers have all
had a righteous fit of indignation be
cause the O.-W. U. & N. Company
has given Tacoiua the same wheat
rate as Portlaud has, and most of
the city papers say that if the rail
road company had granted Puget
Sound thiB rate over its own lines,
Portland would have gone before the
interstate commerce commission at
once and demanded a proportionate
reduction for the haul to this city,
and could not have failed to win. The
position assumed by Portland in all
freight rate cases is that Portland
ihould have a choaper rate than any
Hher place on earth on account of
'natural conditions". The Portland
Chamber of Commerce is ready to
rush in and demand a "proportion
Ue reduction" when the haul is
through Portland to Tanoma, but
ihould Roseburg or other Southern
Oregon points ask for similar reduc
tions on freight to Portland through
Southern Oregon, the Portland Chanc
ier of Commerce Is Just as ready to
-ush in and do all in its power to
lroveut this territory from getting
iroportionuto rates, even going so
:ar ns to intervene with tlte Southern
'nolllc company to prevent a reduc
lou of rates. The Portland Jobber Is
mich Incensed to think that the Uur
imaii Hues will rfiuul freight west
ward 1150 miles toward Portland
"or 71c, hut he has never made n
tick of any kind on account of the
Hosehiirg merchant being charged
12c. for a 19S mile haul. And this
irings to mind tho question: "If the
'larrltnnn system Is realty desirous
if bohicurilng all sections of Ore
;on. as Is announcod by Its repre
sentatives In paHM's read at the An
uria Convention and published
hrotiKliout Oregon, why does It
hitrge for a comnaratlvelv level hunt
i'n Oregon, 7a cents for a 198 mile
mill, when It is anxious to haul the
snme cIiibs of freight from Omaha to
'ocatello, II GO miles and "over the
Hocky mountains for 71 cents?"
ilas any Hosehurg merchant ever
leard of any Portland business mall
ippiarlui; before tho Portland Cham
ber of Commerce asking that that or-
auiKiition make an effort to have
freight rnteg reduced to districts, that
ire compelled to buy in Portland?'
Will any Portland business man or
organization apgienred before the
iroper tribunals and ask that a 'pro
portionate rale' be inndo from Mis
ouii river points to Hosehurg, Mod-
ord. Grants Pass or Ktlgene? Have
my of the Portland papers enthused
iver the prospect of a new railroad
heing hirilt from Holse through Cen
tral Oregon to Coos May?
A portion of the nrticlo in ques
tion does speak a good word for
this territory, but not with any In
tentlon of doing us any good, but
rather to make the Portland cause
-teem more Just. It Is as follows:
All the evidence and arguments
adduced by the railways in the big
Western rate controversies, have been
to the effect that the mountain haul
was costly, and must be given a much
greater rate than for railway haul
on water-lever routes. Tho company
attorneys have spent d:iys to show
how hauling across the Cas -ailc
mountains, east or west., across the
lllue mountains, east or west, and
over the Siskiyou rnnge, north
south, Is inflicting abnormal oper
ating charges, which must li
coupled by abnormal rates.
At the present moment the South
ern Pacific is presenting a case
the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion, asking for the privilege of Im
posing a heavy and unusioii rat-) on
that Ifue because tho roulo crosses
tho Siskiyou mountains. Yet while
tills Itift-nained tight Is on. the O.-W
R. & N, owned by the same peopl
as the Southern Purine, is giving for
a vast wheat tonnage Identically the
same rate In the haul across the Cas
cade mountains, that it grunts Port
land for a haul of this wheat down
the Columbia Itlver on a gravity
route, for a shorter distance than
across the mountains."
The Kvenlng Telegram says this Is
"ridiculous TiiconHlMonev." but this
paper diHs not call attention to the
rates charge,! by the Southern Par
fie between Portland and Han l-'ran
flsco and betwiNMi Portland and
Roseburg, the tlrt rate being I
cents and the second t'l cents, will
certainly is as ridiculous as a rate
ould he, but which costs the people
of Roseburg $15, Hurt a month, and
is a fairly expensive Joke. One most
admirable thing can be said for the
Portland business man, however, and
it is well worthy of emulation, and
that Is tills: lie Is not afraid to put
in a rev- dollars and a few hours
lighting for Portland's good. Just as
long as there is a chance for Port
'land to gnln anything by the fight
; The Portland business num. in ttie
aggregate Is not a "quitter". Willi-
we do not admire bis position rela
tlve to Roseburg. we do take off oor
bat to him as a good fighter.

"Anyone must see that the foun
dations being laid In Wall street for
the building up of the monopoly In
Alaska are eautl to thnt which now
controls the anthracite con I Holds In

'When we havo before us tho his

consummated In the Morgan Interests

to control Alaska?
"The government should reeanl
itself as a board of directors pledged
to properly enro for the development
of property In which the American
people are the stockholders.
"The llrst step should bo tho cren-
tlon of adequate tranaportatlon facil
ities. The government should own

eady constructed should be acq u li

The government should oji and op-

to do is to create a board of public
