I STRIKERS .OK WORD TO PUBLIC PORTLAND UNIONS ISSUE STATE MENT OF CONDITIONS. Sny Penceuble Strike' lg Aim of the' Unions Now Out of Shops. Local O.-W. strikers have requeste I publication of the following from a Portland paper relative to the strike situation: Because they are of the opinion that the people of Portland are not ac quainted with the facts regarding .the strike now in progress throughout the lines of the Harriman system and es pecially with the strikers' side of the controversy in . this city, members of the Jocal advisory board of the strik ing shopmen -have jssued. Jhe -follow ing statement: ;., : . "Believing that public opinion is the -roil -V. -.J ' Lumber, Lath, Shingles and Rubberoid .... WENAHA LUMBER CO. Greenwood and Madison 5ts. Phone, Main 732 g Strongest power in society, the strik' ing shop employes of the Harriman lines wish to call the attention of the public to the peaceable and orderly manner in which this strike has been conducted since last September, and is now being conducted. "Numerous strikers have been ar rested on some pretext or other and not one has been found carrying con cealed weapons. The strikebreakers Imported for the occasion have Invar iably been found arnied, contrary to law and apparently with the consent of the sheriff and district attorney. In such personal collisions as liave occurred, the strikebreakers have proved the determined aggressors, ap parently anxious to work the old tac tics of enlisting public opinion against the strikers by inducing some act of violence and charging them with it. Self Control. "When it Is understood that about 900 men are on strike In Portland of all ages and natlonallltis, many of them seeing suffering in their familiJa because of strike conditions, certainly organized labor ought to receive cred it for self control, for Intelligence and for law abiding Instinct In conduct ing this strike so, peaceably that prob ably 90 per cent of Portland's popu lation 'has no idea that the strike is still going on. It is easy for the weal thy and the comfortable to keep the peace. It is not bo easy for the suf fering to do so, who feel that they suffer because of Injustice, The strike was called September 30, after repeated efforts to get the rail road officials to treat with the federa tion. But. Mr. Kruttschnltt refused oven to meet the delegates as Ruch. He expressed a willingness to mel I the separate organization of which the, federation Is composed. Boiler makers, blacksmiths, carmen, sheet metal workers and machinists; saying j M am willing to meet the separate crafts for by so doing a few thousand men, we can handle, but when 25,000 or 30,000 men go out It 18 too gigan tic to handle.' But the weakness of the small separate organizations act ing alone is the very thing which made the federation necessary. So. MrJSruttschnitt's position was very much like saying .I am willing to dis cuss grievances with small bodies which I can break separately, like the sticks In the fable, but I am not wil ling to let you bind these faggots Into one bundle which I cannot break.' For the shop employes to get any rec ognition they nust federate, and to deny them the right to unite as a fed eration is In effect to deny all rights whatever. , " ' Position One of Good Faith. "It is the position taken in good faith by so "many employers,- by say iingVVWfl raht, the right- to, combine i'tt trades . unions, but we "also insist on, the right of every man to Bell his labor when and how he pleases, and ( must stand for the open shop.' All this, is very well In theory, but. the trouble Is that every employer or cap italist belongs to the closest kind of a iunion, namely, the naturally, co hesive union of a privileged class. The employing class as a whole Is a privi leged class protected In the protect ive tariff. In the right way and right to condemn property of the railroads, In the control or monopoly of money and banking, In the control or mono poly of mines, forests, water, land, etc., etc., while the laborer Is wholly unprotected.' He must work to eat, and Is In competition to live with ev ery other laborer ,man, woman or child. When the privileged class will consent to Hs own open shop, then there may be an open shop for labor, and each man may be free; but until then the only hope for labor is the lessening of his own cut-throat com petition with himself by a solid organ ization to act as one. Hence it is that the 'scab' is a foe of his own class. He refuses to make solid labor's life saving organization and helps break up labors only present defense against the superior power and natural soli darity of capital. ( Object of Strike. "The striking shop employes of the Harriman system want the people to know what they are striking for. It is not for wages or hours alone but It is now striking to gain for labor, some thing of that same solidarity, cohe sion and harmony of interest, which capital naturally posseses and which labor must have or sink to the degrad ed condition of absolute slavery, draw ing suoh wages and having such rights na the privileged employer choose to nllow.

I . . . .Yin DuiTivo buc na un graded condition of Its people and the eel flnterest of every person, even the capitalists if they did but know it, is in securing to labor Just recognition. "We are not going' into the pettny persecutions to which we have been subjected by strikebreakers, such as pouring oil on our pickets from the roof of a building, hurling rocks from commencement of winter, apparently to force the strike, and lastly that wa must and shall win or otherwise we sink into slavery and that the Inmost meaning of the strike Is that labor is one and that labor will stand together, that the cause of every form of labor-; Is the cause of every other form and1. ,: that If driven to extremity, all labor- i places of concealment. We know that will unite as one. And in furtherance. the strikebreaker Is a mere hireling following his business for pay ' and 'sent in by professional detective agen ! cles. Such hyenas will always be found prowling around of its right to live and to live decently-'--and to receive sbme fair share of the-' fruit labor gets, will resort to the gen What we do eral strike as Its last and most effect- .theatre the public to notice is the ab-lve protest again manhood slavery Iter of this strike, notwithstanding ( "Signed by the local advisory board; of the Harriman system, A- Weber, blacksmiths and helpers; C.
