X I 1 PROTEST PLANNED AGAINST CANAL BUSINESS MEN SAY PROPOSED ROUTE WOULD COST MORE THAN 3,0OO,0OO. PEOPLE MUST DECIDE SAKS HAWLEY Paper Mill Head Favora Construction Of Open Ditch 1,000 Employee In Big Planta May Ba Affected. Several business men whose prop erty will be damaged by the proposed East Side canal and locks at the falls of the Willamette are preparing to file a protest agalnat tbe construction of the big ditch along tbe route sug gested to the authorities at Wash ington. It la asserted that tbe con struction of the canal will require more than $2,000,000 for condemna tion awarda alone, and that It will be almost an Impossibility to raise the necessary money. The atate baa made an appropriation of $300,000 and the Government will give a similar amount Tbla money la to be used In the actual construction of tbe canal, and. It Is estimated, that $154, 000 more will be required for this work. The plans for tbe canal were made by E. Buralem Thomson, -Assistant United Statea Engineer under Major Mclndoe, of the Statea Engin eering Corps. W. P. Hawley. president of the Ilawley Pulp ft Paper Company, the plant of wblch will Buffer the most through the construction of the canal, declares that the building of the canal would mean the company would quit business In this city. Hwly . Wants Open Canal "As tbe route for tbe canal and locka has been aurveyed," Bald Mr. Hawley, "our mills will be ao cut up aa to virtually amount to an nihilation. Personally I am Indiffer ent aa to what a done, and It Is up to the people to decide whether they want the mill or the canal. I favor an open canal at Oregon City, and I am perfectly willing to abide by the will of the people.". - ' Mr. Hawley thinks that, under the circumstances the present locks and canal on the weet aid of tbe-Ttvar, should be purchased and enlarged. He aaya that the route proposed for thla aide of tbe river would cut tbe city off from the falls, and destroy the manufacturing planta. The canal, aa proposed, begins at the foot of Fourth street in Oregon City and extends in a southeasterly direction for a distance of 900 feet, having a. width of 125 feet. The course of the 125 feet cuta into several build ings of tbe Oregon City Manufactur ing Company'a plant Tbe same ap plies to the Crown Columbia Pulp ft Paper Company'a plant, where about $100,000 worth of machinery for the manufacture of pulp haa been ' in stalled. Expense Would Ba Heavy. Along the route of the proposed canal there la In operation $200,000 worth of machinery. It la contended that if tbe government condemns this property for a right of way compell ing these business concerna to seek other quarters, the expense will run beyond the $2,000,000 mark. There ia little douot tnat the peo ple of Oregon City would rather loBe the canal than the big manufacturing planta. " However, It is contended by many of tbe leading men here that the building of the canal on the East Side will not necessitate tbe mills closing. .In fact aome even go so far aa to say the water power will not be affected and that the Hawley Pulp ft Paper Company and tbe East Side pulp plant of the Crown Columbia Pulp ft Paper Company will be the only onea put to great Inconvenience. Mr. Hawley say a the plan proposed would bo interfere with his business that ha would not think of continu ing It here. About 1,000 persona are employed by the mills that will be affected. you'll get it THE BEST OF ITS KIND.

PLAN Of FEDERATION LS RAISED Strike On Harrlman Llnaa Can Only Be Called By Haada Of Varloua Uniona In Issue. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 2. All ac tion toward the calling of a atrike of tVia ilutn mnlnTM r.f f i Harrlman linea as a result oj the refusal by' tbe railroada to recognize the Federation , of Shop Employee baa been deferred until next Friday and tbe representa tives of tbe shop crafts who were present at the conference yeaterday with Vice-President. Kxuttschnitt. of the Harrlman lines express the hope that a strike will be averted. A meeting of the advisory board of the Federated Shop Employe of the Harrlman lines has been called to convene in San Francisco Friday. The board comprises 35 members, repre senting the shop employes of all the Important planta of the Harrlman roads. Statement 'Is Issued. .. TTnHI tha arrfwxl nf th members of this board, the International preai- denta or tbe rive anop craiia wno are now in San Francisco will take no official action. They will attend La bor nav celebrations throughout tne state and will not return here until EVIriav - j . 1 1 .1 . . , l nai memafcioiiwi preaiunuM wi five shop crarta issued a ronnai iuiw ment tonight outlining the position taken by the federation in anawer to that ot the railroad's position issued by Mr. Kruttscbnltt some days ago. The atatement takes up, one at a time, the nine demands presented to Mr. Kruttscbnltt and also deals with Ma attltudn toward them. It main tains that the Federation plan now worka on 14 systems aa mucn unoer Government control and as much re sponsible to tbe public aa the South ern Pacific. No Friction on Roads. "We have federated crafts on 14 different railroads at the preaent time and find no friction whatever with the management of these various rail roads." It says. "We speak specially of the Southern Railroad and Its allied lines, known aa the Flnley group." Reverting later to thla point. It continues: "The manager of the Harrlman lines has laid great stress upon his duties to the government and to the public, and would lead one to believe that the federation Is a handicap to officials in fulfilling these duties. "We have heard no complaint of thla sort from the railroads that have done business with the federation for the laat three or tour years. The Gov ernment haa not Interferred with any of them. Their workings have been so harmonious that they have report ed to us that the savings to the com panies through splendid co-operation of the men has been marvelous." Of Mr. Kruttschnltt s contention that under the federation plan, tro uble with one craft means trouble with all, the International presidents, point out that the federation commit tee first seeks to settle any such dif ficulty, but that In no event could a Btrlke be called except by presidents of. the Individual unions.
