As I was chief clerk of the judiciary committee in' the Senate, a statement from me mar be the means of throwing some light on a subject that is apparently misunder stood. I am a member of a local union in Astoria, being secretary of Astoria Local No. 142, and am as much inter ested in securing the passage of labor laws as any other member ot any union in the state,' I have been president of Astoria Council Federation of Labor for 18 months, and was its president until about six months ag 3. I desire to say, that so far as you are concerned, that no one worked any harder or more persist' ently to secure a report 'on, and the pas sage of the two bins than you. xou were repeatedly before the judiciary committee urging them to report on the bills, at one time saying, "that you had promised the passage of the bills to your constituents, and not to report them would be to attach the blame to you On one occasion you came to me as : clerk and aBked me to draw up a favor able report on the bills and have the chairman sign it. I did so, and the bills were then discussed by four members of the committee. The committee decided that it was nnnecessary to report the bills back, giving as their reason, that inasmuch as several bills in the inter ests of labor had been passed, panel pally the one introduced by BaiUy, H. B. 146 "Preventing the blacklisting of laborers, and H. B. 148, "Protecting la borers who ioined .unions." as labor or ganizations had heretofore regulated the hours of labor, and with these two bills, it placed labor organizations in almost absolute control ' of the regulation of hours of labor, the two bills would only incumber the statute books. Another objection raised to the bill "Providing eight hours in certain specified employ ments," thecommittee were of the opin ion that the bill would come under the constitutional prohibitions of "class leg islation," and might result in numer ous law suits. Another objection to the bill was, that there were a certain class of laborers, such as bartenders, cooks, waiters and other employments, thaf an eight hour labor law would operate against both employer and emplove, as it would be a difficult matter to arrange the hours of labor in these employments, from the very nature of the business. Another question was. can the legis lature paBB a lawm aking eight hours a day's labor in certain specified employ ments, without including all employ ments, and if it did so, would it not be class legislation? There was not a single member of any labor organization in the state rhat ap peared before the committee and asked for the passage of these two bills. You were the only person that came before the committee and asked that the com mittee report favorably on the bills so as to give you an opportunity to advocate their passage on the floor of the senate. I was in lavor or the passage ot both bills, but not being a member of the legislature or of the committee, I had no more influence, nor as much as you did. In my opinion, the labor unions of Oregon City have acted hastily in this matter and without a thorough under standing ofthe facts in the case. I have nojnterest in this matter, but being a member of a labor organization, and also being in a position to know what you did to secure the passage of both bills, I write you, with the hopes that the labor- organizations of Oregon City will resciud their actions and give you the credit "ou deserve. Labor organiza tions cannot make friends by condemn ing any man who has always worked for their interests, and they should not blame one man because be was unable to convince five that it v. as to die inter ests of organized labor to have the bills enacted into laws. iVilh best wishes I remain. Verj Leepectfully, C.J.Curtis. BASE BALL Amature Batt. Clubs to Cross ; Barbers vs Clerks. What promises to be a hot "tamale" in the base ball world will be pulled off at the ball park at Willamette on next Sunday. The barbers of Oregon City will play the clerks. There are a number of fine players on each side. There is also a good natured rivalry between them and they are all certain to do their best, An admission fee of inly fifteen cents will be charged. . The game will be called at two o'clock and last all the evening. "Red" Williams one of the best twirlers on the coast will put them over for. the barbers. Williams is a wonder. He Is ambidexterous, but pitches jnostly with his south paw. He 6an use one hand just as good as he can another.' In fact he has been known to "shave" two people at one time. To watch him pitch will be worth the price of admission alone. The Clerks have a good one under cover and expect him to be a world beater. Everybody should go out and encourage the boys and help boost the game along. It wi'l need boosting.
