ASKS FOR FA1RPLAY
STATE SENATOR BROWNELL MAKES
CONVINCING ARGUMENT.
Assertion That He Did Everything In His
Power to Pass Eight Hour Law, Cor
roborated By Senator Mays.
State Senator George 0. Brownell
put tip a forcible argument in the
Armory Hall last Thursday night. He
was listened to by nearly 500 men for
over an hour and the way they re
cieved his remarks showed that they
believed in him in spite of the efforts
of a few men to denounce him as
unfriendly to labor. Senator Brownell
made a straight forward manly speech
and said that the men who had taken
an active part against him had been
viciously and maliciously opposed to
to him for the past eight or ten years.
He had not been given fair treat
ment and had been condemed unheard.
Mr. Brownell recited a large number
of labor bills that had been passed at
the recent session of the legislature,
namely;
A fellow-servant liability act.
An act creating a Bureau of Labor
Statistics. -
An act to prevent blacklisting of
employes.
An act to prevent fraud, deception
and misrepresentation by employers in
securing employes.
An act to protect workingmen in
their right to join labor unions.
' An act to amend the barber law.
An act to license plumbers in cities.
An act to regulate employment of
females.
An act to protect boatpullers and
fishermen.
An act to protect subcontractors and
other persons ' furnishing material for
public works.
An act to regulate employment of
children.
The speaker made it clear that it
was imposible to get new legislation
at the first attempt and gave several
illustrations. At the close of Senator
Brownell's speech, Senator Mays, who
was a member of the committee of
judiciary, which made an unfavorable
report on the labor bills, made a short
address in which he corroborated all
that Senator Brownell had said. Sen
ator Mays assured the audience that
Mr. Brownell had exhausted every
means to induce the judiciary com
mittee to make a favorable report on
the bills, but the committee did not
think the time was ripe for the eight
hour law and did not believe the legis
lature would pass the bills in any
event.
The Macoabee quartette opened the
meeting with several pleasing selec
tions.-

HIGHLY AMUSING GAME.
By
Clerks Beat Barbers at Baseball
Score of 9 to 7.
The barbers and the clerks of the
city played an exciting and highly
amusing game of baseball at Willam
ette Park grounds yesterday afternoon
on a muddy field. The game was
marked by so many errors that the
scorer had to paste a piece of paper on
the margin of his score book to register
ail of them. Bight fielder Levens, of
the barbers team, was struck in the
eye with a ball and severely, injured.
Fred Miles umpired the game and the
score was 0 to 7 in favor of the clerks.
The teams lined up this way :

Henry Wilkinson, Gilbert Charters,
Norwood Charman, Carl Moore and
Beldon Ganong walked - out of school
last Wednesday morning because one
of the class, Ralph Milln, was sus
pended by the Superintendent for diso
bedience. Friday morning they were
joined by OlgaSchmale.Anna Shanon,
Ella Dempster, and Ida Akin. These
pupils are members of the eleventh
grade of the 'high school and are
scheduled to graduate in June. George
Sullivan and Angie Wiliams remained
in school.. . ,
Trouble has been brewing for some
time in the eleventh grade. The boys,
especially, have been disobedient to
their teachers, and notwithstanding
several reprimands, went from bad to
worse. The climax came Wednesday,
when young Milln's suspension caused
the Jwalk-out. It was very evident
that the boys thought that public
sentiment would uphold them in their
disobedience but they were mistaken.

The board of directors, while taking
no ' official action in the matter, an
nounced that the discipline of the
school would be- upheld and no con
cessions would be granted to the strik
ers. Thursday at recess the boys inter
viewed Superintendent Faulk, who is
not disposed to be hard on the erring
ones. He drew up a paper for their
signature, in which they acknowledge
that they, have been disobedient and
in which they agree to be respectful
in the-Ynture.' : The parents Of the
pupils took a hand and compelled their
children to go back to school this
morning.
The class presented a petition to the
board asking for the dismissal of Mr.
Faulk but it is not likely that the
board, which meets tonight, will take
action upon the document.
Rev. F. H. Mixsell, pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church, voiced the
sentiment of the law order citizens of
the city in his sermon last night. He
had a strong feeling in the matter and
expressed himself freely. It is to be
regretted that the boys are not at all
sorry for their hasty action. They
have reached the age where they
should have enough self respect to fol
low the right course. County Super
intendent Zinser's opinion is a sample
of the talk heard on the matter. He
says :
' ."When boys and girls combine to
defy the authority of their teacher,
they should be taught a lesson. These
youths should have placed more value
on the benefits,- of an education than
to unite on a strike, no matter what
Professor Faulk has done. The proper
thing for them was to have presented
their grievances, if they had any, to
the board of directors and let that
board to be the arbitrators in the mat
ter. It seem to me that after all the
schooling these boys and girls have
been given this ought to have learned
some of them more than to go on a
strike. If any boy were to strike in
tlyit way . against his teacher there
would be another strike when he came
homo."
RANDALL GETS IT.
APPOINTED POSTMASTER OF OREGON
CITY TODAY.
Nominated to Succeed George Horton F. Hor-
too By President Roosevelt Recom
mended By Fulton and Mitchell.
WASHINGTON, D. C, March 9.
(Special Dispatch to The Record.)
Tom P. Randall was this afternoon
appointed postmaster at Oregon City
and his nomination sent to 'the senate
by President Roosevelt.
ADVANCE IN JUSTICE.
Gorbett's and Park's Mix-up Contrasted
Elwood Brevities.
Tom P. Randall, who was appointed
postmaster of Oreguu City this after
noonT is a well known young man in
this city . and county where he has
lived for many years,. He was for
four years recorder of Clackamas
County and his second term expired
last June. Ho is now secretary of the
Republican county central committee.-
Mr. Randall's appointment was re
ceived with much rejoicing by his
friends. Up to severeal months ago
his appointment was considered merely
problematical, but with Congressman
Tongue's death, Postmaster Horton'
lost his strong friend in Washington
and this practically assured Randall's
appointment. It is likely that Mr.
Randall will be confirmed at onoe and
his commission sent on as Postmaster
Horton's term has expired.
ELWOOD, March 6. (Special.)
To contrast Jooshua Gorbett's "mix
up" with that of Marvin Park's is a
query. One evening, about five years
ago, James Kerns entered Mr. Park's
field with his gun and accompanied by
his brother and son, engaged in con
versation with Park. Kerns struck
him once on the back of the neck,
once on the side of the head, felling
Park to the ground, breaking 'the stock
of his gun, and would have struck him
with the breech of the gun but for the
interference of his brother. This case
was thrown out of the courts. In
Gorbett's case the affray was not on
the owner's premises and no weapon
was used, but three blows were struck
with the fist. Contrast the two cases
and satisfy yourself if it is an advance
in justice.
