The woolen mill strike ia over. The calliope thistle, which makea a noise something akin to the combina tion of tl e bray of jackass and the wail of a ooomed soul in "hades," belched forth Its fiendish yelU at an early hour Tuesday morning. They were welcome yells, however, for it was a call for 300 people to return to their work at the woolen mills, a sig nal that the wheels of industry were about to whizz at the old stand, and the workpeople were to receive an ad vance in wages. A committee of the local Federal Un ion, consisting of J. II. Howard, E. D. OWs and A.. J. Maville had been wrest ling with a settlement proposition since 1 10 o'clock, Sunday forenoon, and it was about 3 o'clock Monday afternoon, when ! the committee accompanied by M . L. ! Miller, of the Textile Workers' Union, ! and Mayor ii. B. Dimick, effected a fl j nal settlement, and the contract was i duly signed. ! The new wage schedule provides for ' an average advance of about 13 per cent. I The annual payroll of the mill amounts ! to about ISU.UOU, and the new wawe scale will probably bring it up to $93, 000. The compromise wage scale is about 63 per rent of the amount oriel nally demanded by the strikers. The union is recognized, but non-union em- nloves will be permitted to work. b,v ery department that asked a raise was gi anted some concesi-ions. About half the old weavers had left town during the strike, and there is a shortase of help in some of the other ilfinartments. A mass meeting had been called to be held at Canemab park Monday night, which was probably intended to be sort of an indignation meetiDg on account of the mills having refused to recognize the union. However, when a settle ment was effected, it was decided to change the gathering into a jollifica tion meeting. The vooamen eana lea the procession to the park, where mosic oratory and brief addresses held an en thusiaatic crowd of people for several hours. Ex-Mavor O. D. Latonrette was master of ceremonies, and also one of the speakers. The other orators were Senator Brownell. G. E. Hayes, W. B, U'Ren, and J. T. Morgan, a prominent union h bir man, of Portland. Dancing followed, Turney's orchestra furnishing the music. DEMO CRA TIC DA Y. Chamberlain and State Candi dates Hold Meetings at Mo- t lalla and Oregon City. Last Friday was a great day for the democrats of Clackamas county. En thusiastic meetings wern held at both Molallaand Oregon City. The rainy weather prevented the previously-ar ranged picnic at Mollalla, ana the meet ing was held in the hall, which was crowded to its utmost capacity, Wil liam Vaugban, a democratic pioneer of 1842, was chairman of the meeting. An excellent basket luncheon was served by the people of that section. Speeches were made by George E. Chamberlain, Colonel James H. Raley, W. A. Wann, James K. Weatherford and others. The speakers a ere received with the greatest enthusiasm. Among the Ore gon City people present were: J. P.

Jesse, of the citizens county campaign committee; Deputy County Clerk O. D. Eby and' Deputy Bharift J. E. Jack, and probably others. Miss Ola Dibble played some organ selec tions. The meeting at Oregon City in the armory in the evening was an ovation to the Democratic state candidates. It was probably the largest democratic mass meeting held in during the his tory of Oregon City. Colonel Robert A. Miller was chairman of the meeting, and he introduced Mr. Chamberlain as the next governor of Oregon. Mr, Chamberlain charged the present ad' minUtration with official extravagance, and declared that when be is elected no perquisites of office will be allowed; that he will recommend flat salaries for all offices and that whatever! the oppo sition may say he cannot be charged with anything crooked in bis ofhcial ca reer. Air. Chamberlain also charged the republicans with the leaks in the state treasury, which C. W. Fulton de fends . Hon. J. K. Weatherford, the candi date for coo gresi, expressed himself as favoring the preservation of our forests, the exclusion of Chinese and foreigners and the construction of the Nicaragua charge of "scuttle" against the demo-1 cratic party. Other of the candidates spoke, includ ing David W. Sears, candidate for state treasurer; VV. A. Wann, candidate for superintendent of public instruction, and Colonel James H. Raley, candidate for attorney-general. The Woodmen Band played several lively airs.
