For Willfully Betraying the Trust Committed to His Hands. The roast banded out to thellonorable George O. brownell the erstwhile Sena tor from Clackamas county in the recent Legislature for the state of Oregon was hot enough to burn the eyebrows. If the Honorable George C. has not some burnt spots on him it is because he is impervious to "hot things" and his political "hide" is made out of Aabestee. It seems that last June when Senator Brownell was making his race for re election to the Senate from this county, he promised the labor organizations of this city and In tact in all the slate that he wou d see to it that all of the bills wanted by the labor organization in the state should be placed upon the statute books of Oregon and that he was the A man who could do it and that he would give his pereqnal guarantee of honor as a man that the making eight hours a days labor in every mill, mine and fact ory and every place where (killed or un skilledlabor was imployed.shouldbe en acted into law. ( When the time came one of two things happened Either Senator Brownell could not redeem his promises or he did not want to redeem them. In either event, the labor unions of this city are SEN, BROWNELL, WnO WAS ROASTED. mad and say they have been basely be: trayed by one whose election they made possible by their votes. Mr. Brownell would not hae been re-elected to the Senate had it not been for the laboring votes of Oregon City. Since the Legislature has adjourned and its doing have become a matter of history, the labor people have been get ting ready to take a fall out of the "Big" Senator. The scrap came off on Mon day night at the Redmen's ball. After the meeting was over, all that was left of the Honorable George C. as the old darky would sav "was a little greasey spot and a bad smell." The meeting was an adjourned meet ing for the purpose of taking action on the Senators case. Nearly every labor organization in the city and county was represented. The meeting was hot from the go in. One hundred laboring men were present and they were hot.. Among them were some good friendt of Senator Brownell who tried their best to stave off the action of the meeting. Resolutions were introduced and the speech making began in earnest. Sc: e wanted to wait and see what explanation the Senator would make, the majori'y however were for taking 'he tkin off at once. After a pro and con debate until late in the night a vote was taken upon the resolu' tions presented contemning the Senator and the Judiciary committee of the late defunct legislature and they were gre- viously condemned by a vote of ten to ;ne about one hundred persons voting. The following is.acopy' of the resolutions adopted . We the members of the several labor organizations of Oregon City Affiliated with the Federated Trades and Labor unions pass the following Resolutions condemning the members ef the Judici ary committee and also the action of Senator Brownell from this CDUnty. Resolved that in the sense of thi meeting that we condemn the action of tne Judiciary committee in reporting adversely on labor bills 148 and 149 and for not letting these bill come before the Senate for consideration and, there fore be it Resolved, that Senator George 0. Brownell posing himself as a friend of labor for the purposes of securing votes in Clackamas county did say that il he was elected Senator he would se cure the passage of these labor bills re ferred to in the above j Therefore be it resolved that we as union labor people do hereby condemn the said George 0, Brownell lor speaking the untruth in re gard to labor principals and also condemn him as a traitor to all organized labor in Oregon and would recommend that in the future that we as labor Union people withdraw all of our political support from the said George C. Brownell. H. F. Marblk, W. H. Paddock, C. B. Johnson, V, G. Willtson, Sol S. Walker. Committee. In order to counteract the effect of these resolutions Senator Brownell las advertised a meeting for Thursday night at the Armory and will make a speech in defense of his action. His old glee club will be with him and he promises to say something that is interesting. The trouble seems to be that Senator Brownell has made so many promises that their redemption will be almost a matter of impossibility. 4 The labor union trouble are not all of the trouble that the Senator has on his hands. It now turns out that as many as four candidates for United States Senator claim that the Honorable George C was pledged to them in their races for Senator. " ' ; The following from the Morning Ore-, gonian telle its own story, Senator Brownell publishes, or allows to be-published, the following telegram; Hon George 0. Brownell, Salem, Or., Now is the timc.If you can help me it will be appreciated. HW. Scott. Recievad by Brownell at 10 :15 p. m., Friday, February 20. 1903. This telegram was Bent to Mr. Brown ell in response to his' own invitation. He bad visited Mr. Scott a few days be fore, and proffered his support, when it might be available or should be wanted.' Mr. Scott answered that he had no in tention of becoming a candidates; whereupon Mr. Brownell saidihatmany were desirous of usinu Mr, Scott's name ana requested iir. M'otc to nouiy mm the time came when he could be of service. At a late hour it was decided by the Multnomah delegation to submit Mr. Scott's name. Therefore, in pursu ance of Mr. BrownelPs invitiation and request, he sent the above telegram. On his own account he cares nothing about the publication of it. To the jndaement of the public he leaves Mr. Brownell; about whom, however, there is likely to e much more to Bay. BOARD OF TRADE. To Be Re-organized and Steps Taken, to Advertise County. At the meeting of business men of Oregon City last Monday evening, the advisability of re-organing the defunct Board oi Trade was discussed pro and con. Nearly all of those present were of the opinion that such steps should be taken, and a resolution was put and carried that a mass meeting be held two weeks from that date, that being the sixteenth of March, at which action would be taken on the matter. At this meeting it is hoped to have a much larger turnout of citizens and business men than on Jast Monday evening. It was generally agreed that the board of trade had accomplished mnch good in the past, and that much more gopd could be accomplished by it in the future. It was also proposed that some means be taken to advertise the resources of Clackamas county. Under a recent act of the Legislature any county may ex pend a thousand dollars, of its fuuds for advertising purposes, and the feasabil- ity of this county doing so will be dis cussed at this meeting. Some are in favor of not only using the thousand dollars that the county is allowed to ap propriate but of raising a sucscription of a thousand more, so that two thousand dollars is likely to be expended in ad vertising t the outside world the various industries and resources of Clackamas county."" At the meeting on Monday night a week it is hoped that not only every business man in the city will be present but that there will be a large at tendance from the country. TEXTILE UNION'S SOCIAL.

Superintendent Zinser presided and Miss Nefzger was secretary protem. ' During the morning session a series of questions on school law were asked by Superintendent Zinser. This was an in structive and pleasing part of the pro gram. A few short talks on improve ment of school grounds by State Super intendent Ackerman and Superintendent Zinser and some others were followed by a bountiful lunch served by the ladies ofCanby. The lunch was served in the city hall and at 1 :30 the meeting was continued . Mies Matthews, of St. Helens Hall, gave an instructing talk on literature in our public schcols. Mr. Reed, principal of Milwaukie, schools.gave a talk on spelling . Mr.Reed suggested that we use the words that occur in onr lessons as spelling taught in that manner has a better result than simply so many words taught from the speller. The next feature was an adddress by State Supt.fjT. H. Ackerman on changes in our school law. Instead of a school tax of five mills be ing levied for school purposes there will be $6 for each pupil of school age that is between the ages of four and 20 residing in the county. This will be apportioned in the regular way, $5Q for each district then the remaiader pro ratio. There is also a change in the powers of the dis trict boundary boards. The greatest change will be in the matter of uniting several districts and of transporting pu pils to and from school. Mr. Ackerman deserves great credit for his influence in these matters. There will be no meeting during March. A great many of the patrons of the various districts near Csnby attended and taken altogetber this was one of the beBt institutes held this year. The pu pils of the Canby school furnished an excellent program which was rendered immediately after lunch. H1QH1SCHOOL BOYS. Walk Out . on a Strike Because of Their Nnmber Is Suspended. One Because one of their number had been temporarily suspended for bad conduct seven young men of the Barclay High school picked up their books and went out on a strike Tuesday. The boys claim thatVSuperintendent John Faulk, has no control over his pupils and uses up to-date slang when speaking to them that is by no means agreeable. Previous to the strike, or walk out, a union bad been organized by the pupils of the 12th grade, and when the boy in question had been suspended by the Superintendent, all save one picked up their books and left the school, vowing that they would not return until some thing had been done. There are twelve or fourteen pupils in the 12th grade and all, including the girls, were members of the union. While the girls did not go out, the boys claim tnat they are in entire sympathy with them in the strike, and the only reason that they did not go out was because they did not care to be seen walking on the streets. The boys say tney will submit their case to the Board of Directors., who will act as an arbitration committee, snd whatever decision the board arrives at they will abide by.
