HOT ROAST.
HANDED TO THE HONORABLE
GEORGE C. BROWNELL
f
Condemned By Labor Unions of Ore
gon City.
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.

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.
Successful Affair at Willamette Hall
Wednesday Evening.
One of the most successful as well as
one of the most enjoyable social affairs
held in Oregon City Jor a good while,
came off at the Willamette hall Wednes
day evening, at which the textile work
ers entertained their friends and families.
The hall Was well-filled with both
young and old, and a program was
tendered in a manner that reflected cre
dit upon all who took part.
Mr. G. Y. Harry, president of the
State Federation of Labor, and made a
talk which was greatly appreciated. His
speech was along labor lines. Mr.
Thomas, manager of the Labor Press
and Mr, Jones sang a duet, in a mancer
that elicited much applause. They were
followed by a very brief address from
Mr. F. Rogers, from Sacramento, who
complimented Ihepa very highly on their
splendid achievement aa an entertaining
union. ' k
After the literary features of the pro
gram there was a dance, which was en
gaged in till an early hour Thursday

Clackamas County Teachers Meeting.
A very interesting meeting was held at
Caaby, Feb. 28th. 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.
