continued for weeks, against the course
pursued by 8. S. Mohler, painter and
contractor, and Johnson & Andrews,
contractors and carpenters ended at the
meeting on Monday evening in what
seems to amount to a splitting of differ,
encei and calling it about square. The
situation for the union, is rather pecu
liar. It Is said that 20 painters are out
side of It, and its present membership
counts eight, the majority of them being
contractors. If that" be true, the paint
ers' union can have no very hard kick
coming. Self interest prompts the
painters to act in unionism. Some yearn
8 go, they also got at outs, cut prices, and
painting was done so cheaply In Oregon
City that some of them lost several hun
dred dolllars during one summer's cut
throat competition. A commilt.ee of
three from the painters, carpenters end
federated trades will mai j investigation,,
