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

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

to nllow. No .country has ever sur-

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

found prowling around
of its right to live and to live decently-'--and
to receive sbme fair share of the-'
