Institution's Only Laurel This Year
Conies to Superintendent.
Willamette university has con
ferred itihie degree of doctor of divin
ity upon W. A. Winters, district su
perintendent of the Methodist church
in tih Idaho conference, with head
quarters in La Grande. Dr. Winters
was the only individual in the North
west to get that degree from W ilium
ette this year.
The La Grande divine is not a grad
uate of Willamette, but of Ohio Wes-
lyan, yet the 'Salem institution recog
nized the superintendent here, as it
only hns on two previous occasions in
the La Grande district. J. u. Unman,
also previously of La Grande, and
Rev. G. W. Barnes, of Idaho, ore the
two men Willamette ihad previously
bestowed the degree on in this con
ference.
Honors of this sort came entirely
unexpectedly to Mr. Winters. He
had been asked to deliver the com
mencement address at te Salem
school this summer, and following
that distinction came the school s dc
gree.

TEAMSTER STRIKE.
Contractor Oberg Has Walkout On
His Hands at Enterprise. '
Enterprise, Aug 19. A novelty
was presented in Enterprise last Fri
day, a strike in the building trades.
Six men joined in the walkout, forcing-
the laying off of six others, and
stopping, temporarily, the work on
one contract.
The strikers were teamsters em
ployed by John Oberg on the excava
tion for the S. D. Kcltnor building.
They had been receiving $4.50 a day
for nine hours work, or 50 cents an
hour for a man and team, the scale
that has been prevailing all spring.
They asked ?5 a day. Mr. Oberg re
plied that he would pay that wage for
10 hours work, maintaining the rate
hour. This is the rate paid for
men and teams this season by the
East Oregon company and other em
ployers. This was not satisfactory to the
teamsters and they quit. They were
handling Fresno scrapers, hauling
lirt to the low place in West Second
lireet near the flume, adjoining Ross
1. Falconer's building.
Most of the teamsters found work
ater that day or on Saturday, either
with Mr. Oberg or on the E. M. & M.
ob elsewhere, and at the old rate of
ay. A few new teamsters with wag
ns were hired shortly on the Kelt
er job, and a placard with the word
scab" was tacked on one of the wag
na, where it was left unconcernedly
y the driver, Sam Banister, who con
luded to put in a few days at team
ig. Last fall there was a small strike
f stonemasons on a new building, two
nion men insisting on a shorter work
ay, and being promptly supplanted
7 others.
