PETITIONS SENT TO CONGRESS
Memorial to Extend Time of the Cb.1-
nesetExcTuBlon Act Opinions of
Employers on Quality of
i Japanese Labor.
The local labor organizations are co
operating with the American Federation
of tabor "In sending to Congress a gigan--tJc
petition -calling for the re-enactment
of the 0bln,gse exclusion act, which ex
plresin Mai;; IWZ. In addition to favor
ing the, exclusion of Chinese labor, the
movement has -as an object the adoption
of a similar law making the Immigra
tion of Japanese laborers Impossible. The
Multnomah Typographical Union, No. 58,
has already forwarded its resolutions to
Congress. -
The Portland Federated Trades Assem
bly recently passed the following resolu
tion covering the subject:
Whereas. Congress enacted a law, generally
referred to as the Chinese exclusipn act. pro
hibiting the comlnir of Chinese laborers to the
United States for a period of 20 years; and.
Whereas. The same will expire on the 3th
Cay of May. 1002; and.
Whereas, Unless the above-mentioned laws
shall be re-enacted, our country will be over
run by an overwhelming Influx of these Mon
golians, whom the Jaw jronlblts coming to our
chores; and.
Whereas, Unrestricted immigration of Mon
golians to this country would worlc incalcula
ble injury to white labor; and.
Whereas, The measurable degree of peace,
pjnty and happiness, which the laboring
classes of our country have hitherto enjoyed.
Would, If Mongolian immigration were not re
stricted, be changed to a. state of want,
wretchedness and despair; and.
"Whereas, Such changes , in the condition of
our laboring classes would make impossible the
prosperity of our Institutions, and bring on the
gradual overthrow of our system of Govern
ment; and.
Whereas, The more recent Influx of Japanese
laborers Is even a greater menace to white
labor than the Chinese Immigration to this
country; therefore, be It
Resolved 1. That the Chinese exclusion act
should be renewed at the next forthcoming of
Congress.
2. That tho immigration and contract labor
laws now upon our statute books be so modi
fied as to make the immigration of Japanese
laborers Impossible.
8. That we hereby respectfully request our
Senators and Representatives In Congress to
use all honorable means within their power to
procure the re-enactment of said law.
4. That each of our Senators and Represen
tatives be furnished by the secretary of this
assembly with a duly certified copy of the
foregoing preamble and resolutions.
0. That our State Legislature be petitioned
to memorialize Congress.
C. That all central laDor councils be fur
nished a copy, and requested to co-operate and
ask each labor organization within their re
spective Jurisdictions to circulate petitions to
Congress, urging re-enactment.
7, That these petitions be sent to president
Gompcrs, of the A F. of L., before or during
tho forthcoming session of Congress.
IfECESSARY FOR. RAILROAD "WORK.
tJapnncHe Are Employed Because
Other Labor Cannot Be Hnd.
Japanese laborers are largely 'engaged
upon the railroads of the Pacific North
west, all tho railroads employing them as
6 oct Ion hands or in construction work.
The railway officials, without exception,
say they would prefer to employ white
men at higher pay if they could get the
men. But they can't get white men to
do the work required, and the Japanese
and Chinese are taken as the? best avail
able substitute. There was a time when
the Chinese predominated as section men,
but in tho past three years the Japanese
liave come upon the scene, and they are
generally preferred now. They are paid
51 10 to $1 25 per day, -whereas the pay
for white men is Jl 40 to 51 50. It is not
allegod that it is better economy to use
tho Japanese, even at the lower wage
rate, but that it is a matter of stern
necessity, white labor being absolutely
unavailable for such work. It is admitted
that if the Orientals could not bo had a
higher price would have to be jiald for
that class of work, but this, it is said,
would simply operate to retard develop
ment of the country, for better wage does
not bring the white labor that is re
quired. When railroad building was
active In the Snake River Valley and In
the Clearwater country two years ago, the
price of labor was $2 per day, but the
man obtained at that price were no more
satisfactory than those obtained for tne
eamo class of work for less money. The
employers say it Is not a question of
money, but of men.
A great many of the white men who
offer themselves as railroad laborers are
(mere floaters or tramps. If they get to
the work at all and stay until pay day
they asebtheur-ononey for debauchery that
unfits them for service for several days.
The sprinkling of this class of men that
is almost sure to get Into every white
crew of 50 soon works the demoralization
of tho entire force. The men becomo
thoroughly unreliable.
It Is estimated that 30 of these floaters
or tramps arrive In and leave Portland
every day. They travel chiefly on freight
trains, though the breakbeams and
"blind" ends in passenger trains also of
fer them lodgment. Two tramps were on
the train that ran into the mud slide on
the O. R. & N. tho other day, one of
them being between the tender and the
baggage car and escaping unscathed
whore escape seemed impossible. These
men always apply for railroad work in
order to jjet the free transportation that
is usually offered to the Held of opera
tion. They may not go to the work at
all, or they may go and get a few meals
before turning up missing, or they may
stay until pay day and then spread de
moralization. One contractor who has had
much to do with work along the O. R. &
N., says that he found it necessary to
stnd out from Portland dally about 50 men
in order to keep a force of 100 men on his
work. Under such conditions contracts are
too uncertain, and the contractors turned
to Japanese as the only relief .offering.
The Orientals are steady, quick to learn,
and rapid -with their work. In a
crow of 50 it may safely be reck
oned that 43 of them will be ready for.
work every day, no matter what tne
weather. They may always be depended
on to do the work that Is required ot
them. "White men on whom so great a de
cree of reliance could be placed would
bo worth 25 per cent more money, and
could get it.
Japanese labor is said to have been the
salvation of the sugar-beet crop In East
ern Oregon and Eastern Washington
euch salvation as It had. It Is impossible
to get the "number xt white hands neces
sary to do the requisite weeding and
thinnings in the brief rush season with
jthn, -beets! Large use of Japanese labor
at that time,. it is said, will enable the
growers to make a success of the beet
"business.
The Orientals aro faithful workers, do
what they are employed to do, and do it
- well. If white men would do as well they
XPUld.,Te altogether more desirable and
-would ?:etrbetter pay. Pacific Coast whites
who offer to work on railroads are said
to be less Tellable than the laborers on
Eastern railroads, less settled m their
habits. But the Japanese are found to be
satlafactcry railroad laborers wherever
they bavo .been tried, and only yesterday
the Burlington & Missouri River Railway
filed m Portland an application lor Japa
nese seotlon men.
TTone Comlnff Xott.
Speaking of the action taken by the
Multnomah Typographical Union looking
toward securing a restriction act to pre
vent Japanese coming to this country, an
employer of labor said yesterday that
no Japanese have been coming to this
country for the past six months or more.
As soon as the trouble In China broke
out, the Japanese Government put a stop
to emigration.
COMING ATTRACTIONS.
Fredericlc TVarde at the Marquam
Tonight.
Frederick "Warde and the Brune Com
pany will open their engagement at the
Marquam Grand tonight In. "Richelieu,"
Friday night and Saturday matinee "The
Duke's Jester" will be given, and Satur
day night "Othello."
This engagement, as has already been
stated, promises to be the event of the
theatrical season. Mr. and Mrs. E. R.
Spencer have been especially engaged to
play the Important roles of Duke Gal
eazzo and Nina de Borglo in "The Duke's
Jester." and should be worthy assistance
to Mr. Warde, who, of course, will de
pict the fool in the play. Mr. Spencer,
together with his wife, better known per
haps as Isabel Pengra, gave up a starring
tour to support Mr. Warde. The re
mainder of the cast. is composed of a
number of last year's organization of
leading men, which It will be remembered
bore the distinction of being the strongest
aggregation of actors since the Booth and
Barrett combination. The company, com
posed of 20 persons, is reported to be com
petent and complete. A CO-foot car tran
sports the equipment.
Cordray's Nevr Year's Attraction.
An attraction of exceptional merit Is
promised to the patrons of Cordray's
Theater, New Year's week, commencing
Sunday night, with matinees New Tear's
and Saturday, in the coming of "A Stran
ger In a Strange Land," the farce writ
ten by Sidney- Wilmer and Walter Vin
cent. This is the same farce that kept New
York in good humor at the Manhattan
Theater for 10 weeks last season, this
being its first representation in this city.
It is said an excellent cast will Inter
pret the various characters, whUe the
same magnificent equipment and envir
onment that characterized the Metropoli
tan production will -be placed upon the
stage here. The play Is said to be one
great laugh from the very beginning. It
tells of the American Indian and shows
what funny complications san arise when
the counterfeit article encounters the
Simon-pure Indian. The cast includes
William Friend, Charles Drake, E. J.
Mack, Jos. Cusack, Charles Lum. Frank
Gorman, Charles Deland, Beatrice Nor
man, May Anderson, Estella Wllmott and
Otlllie DeLano.
Richard Golden in "Old Jed Pronty."
Richard Golden's beautiful play, "Old
Jed Prouty," will be presented at the
Marquam Grand, Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday nights, Dec 21, Jan. 1-2, and
matinee New Year's afternoon. With the
flavor of green fields, the aroma of new
mown hay, the geniality and simple hab
its of the rustics, that always has a
fascination for the residents of the city.
That Is perhaps the reason why this
pastoral Idyl which deals with country
life and charms of rugged naturalness
has proven such a success. There Is no
deplcter of the energetic, warm-hearted
countryman, who can surpass Richard
Golden's great character delineation, Jed
Prouty. typified in the stern, yet klndjy,
old man, with a heart and face open as
the air, whose life Is spent In living for
others, tender, loving and always help
ful, raised in a hearty soli, ripened and
mellowed with a beauty that comes from
days of self-denial and warm sunlight.
Overshadowing all as does the mighty
roar of majestic Niagara the babbling
and splashing of the gurgling brook.
"Colored Aristocracy."
The members of the "Colored Aristoc
racy" company, which will appear at the
Metropolitan Theater, -New Year's week,
had quite an experience In Honolulu.
They had been to Australia with Ernest
Hogan, and purchased tickets for San
Francisco by way of Vancouver. At Hon
olulu the company played an engagement
of four weeks, and then, with their bag
gage, went to the wharf to take thfr
steamer, but the captain refused to take
them, saying that he did not have any
room. Suit was commenced against the
steamship company for 59S.O00 damages.
The company played another engagement
of eight weeks in Honolulu, so as to be
present when the case was called. The
plaintiff won the case, being awarded 555,
000, and the defendant took an appeal.
The case was finally compromised by the
steamship company paying 535,000.

Tonight the Frawley Company will

melodrama which was so great a success
last season. The advance sale Is large.
CO-OPERATIVE MOVEMENT.
Bakeries 'and Provision Stores
for
Xew York's Poor.
NEW YORK. Dec 26. An appeal to
Andrew Carnegie, Miss Helen Gould, Xa
than Straus and other wealthy philan
thropists will be Issued by the officers of
the Co-operative Brotherhood at once,
asking them to help the movement of the
brotherhood to establish co-operative bak
eries and provision stores for the poor in
this city.
"Bread and provisions are to be sold in
these stores at cost prices. The neces
saries of life are to be sold without profit.
One thousand dollars toward starting a
52500 co-operative bakery has already been
subscribed by members of Bakers Union
Ko. J," said President Storken. "I was
one of the organizers or the co-operative
movement in Belgium, and have been en
gaged in work of this kind all my life.
Neither politics nor religion have any
thing to do wlrti our movement. Work
lngmen of all religious beliefs and po
litical opinions are a.rctnr to join this
movement. It already has a strong trades
union backing" of S0Q0 workingmen, who
are ready to carry on this work unaided.
But at the same time If there are wealthy
philanthropists willing to aid us we shall
Jump at any offers of assistance that may
come from them. With the capital they
have at their command they could set the
co-operative movement In this country so
solidly on its feet that it would last as
long as the nation."

CONSIDERING A BUILDING
ALBLNA ODD FELLOWS MAY ERECT
A BUSINESS BLOCK.
Hall Association Has Owned an Eli
gible Site for a Number of Years
East Side Notes.
The Odd Fellows' Hall Association, of
Alblna, Is discussing the advisability of
putting up a building on the ground
owned by the association, on Russell
street and Vancouver avenue. This asso
ciation Is composed mainly of members
of Industrial Lodge, No. S9, but quite a
number of others hold stock In it. It is
in a flourishing condition. Organized sev
eral years ago, during the boom times,
for the purpose of erecting a temple in
that part of the city, the association ac
quired a corner lot, SOxlOO, going in debt
for it. The intention was to erect this
building at once, but, owing to the finan
cial slump, It had to be deferred. The
association then set about paying for its
lot. The debt is now nearly paid off, and
a good many of the members think thb
time has come for the erection of the
building; and it will likely be undertaken
in the early Spring. It is proposed to put
up a two-story brick. That would enable
two halls to be on the second floor, if all
the ground Is built on, besides furnish
several store-rooms below, from which a
good revenue can be obtained. Those of
the association favorable to building tho
coming Spring, say that money can be
had cheaper than ever before, and as the
lot Is on Russell street, where the main
business In Alblna centers, it would be a
good Investment for the association. It
would stop rent and produce an Income.
The matter will be settled at the annual
meeting of the association.
Timber-Preservlnsr Plnnt. .
At the Southern Pacific carshops the
wood-preserving plant, or rather train, is
undergoing general repairs. It is the first
time the plant has been In these shops. It
consists of about a dozen trucks, on
which are mounted Immense tubes six
feet in diameter. These tubes are ar
ranged so they may all be joined together
and made continuous, with the two ends
closed. On the Inside there Is a tramway
extending all the way through. Bridge
timbers, railway ties and other wood
parts exposed to the air are loaded on
the trucks, then -wheeled into the long
tubes, and when filled the ends are closed.
The creosote is then turned Into the tubes
and the timbers subjected to a pressure
of 2S0 pounds to the square Inch. This
pressure forces the acid all through the
wood, which, when thoroughly Impregna
ted, will last three times as long as wood
not treated. All the bridge timbers are
treated In this way. The continuous tube,
extending the lengths of several cars, and
being six feet in diameter, permits the
largest and longest timbers used in tho
construction of bridges to be subjectea
to the treatment. It gives the wood a
dark appearance. The timbers are kept
under pressure for about 10 hours.
Obstructed by Rox Cars.
There is much complaint about East
Clay street being obstructed by box can
where it intersects East Second. Cars are
constantly being left on the East Second
street switch in such a way that the
south sidewalk and two-thirds of the
street are obstructed most of the time.
There is mu'ch teaming on East Clay
street, and the presence of these box cars
is a great Inconvenience. The cars might
be pushed clear of East Clay street, eithei
south or north, Just as well as leaving
them in the street.
Rnsncll Street.
One block at the foot of Russell street
has been planked, the Improvement abut
ting on the terminal grounds. It Is a
needed Improvement, but Is somewhat iso
lated. The two blocks abutting the new
ly planked portion on the east, on Rus
sell street, is In a villainous condition,
and yet in order to reach this new road
way, these must be passed. Just why
this single block should have been Inv
proved and the Intervening bad portion
left is not known.

THE GREATEST RESOURCES.
Taat's What Colonel Drake Calls Its
Developing Gold Mines.
Colonel F. V. Drake has returned from
his mining interests at Sparta, Union
County, and will spend the coming few
weeks In Portland, waiting for the East
ern Oregon Winter to blow over, when
he will go back to the mines. Speaking
of conditions and prospects in that coun
try to an Oregonmn reporter, last even
ing, he said:
"There is less street activity In Baker
City and Sumpter than was generally an- J
ticipated. Few men have come down from,
the mines to pass the Winter In the
towns. All the great mines are maintain
ing full forces. Thousands of men with
prospects have gotten under cover (Into
the hills), where storms do not disturb o
make them afraid. These men are at work
developing their claims. The tin-horn
hustlers and local 'canteens' are not pros
perous, but the freight teams are over
loaded with machinery and supplies, and
Jobbers are busy.
"If The Oregonlan's readers have fol
lowed the reports of Its staff correspond
ent In Eastern Oregon, they must realize
that a mighty empire of limitless wealth
Is beginning to respond to the sturdy vis
or of the magicians of the hammer, drill
and dynamite. The reports of this cor
respondent are commendable, truthful and
conservative. If -people will read theso
reports as they peruse reports on other
Industries thev will begin to comnrehend
the extent and importance of Oregon's
mineral resources. I suppose there are
but few people who read them. Those re
ports are not roseate or romantic, but
they constitute a compendium of facts
that means as much for Oregon's futurt.
as does the data on the commercial page
of the dally editions of your paper.
"Every dollar that comes from the.
mines adds to the permanent wealth ot
the country, and brings Immediate bene
fit to every Industry and product of which
Oregon can boast. American miners must
be fed, and well fed; they must be sup
plied with toolsi machinery, clothing,
houses, fuel, books, newspapers every
thing which a high civilization demands.
To supply the needs of each miner In the
drifts and stopes, two men in common
fields of Industry must be employed con
stantly. This Is a fact, and It means
much, so much that National and state
legislatures should heed and consider it.
In variety and extent of resources, the
state Is without rival. Chiefest among
these are the gold and copper deposits.
Much printing, money and breath have
been expended in announcements of our
fruit, timber, fish and wheat resources,
covering a period of some 20 years. The
one resource which, properly developed,
would add vigor and Immediate and pet-
mancnt prosperity to all the others, has
been practically overlooked in every ef
fort made to advertise Oregon to the
world. There has been individual effort;
this effort has not always been intelligent
ly made: never Intelligently or adequately
supported. There has never been well
directed co-operation or effort anywhere
made to present the mineral resources of
this state to the millions of dollars seek
ing safe Investment and to the thousands
of sturdy, ambitious Americans willing to
create a home market for fruits, fish,
timber, cattle, wheat and the products of
factories and forges.
"Relatively few men have any knowl
edge of mines of the precious metals and
the Immense possibilities thereof. Oregon
will never attract their attention by
shouting across the. Rocky Mountains or
sowing tracts and dodgers along the high,
ways, or by complacently looking at the
efforts of some Individual enthusiast dis
playing his pocket specimens and his Ig
norance of the subject he espouses. You
must do as the commercial man does
take a full line of samples, and be pre
pared to talk of the business In all its
branches. Mine-owners, like other busi
ness people, do not care to open their
properties to Inquisitors or the idly cu
rious, but they are not wanting in local
pride or patriotic sentiment. They envy
no man; the success of his neighbor does
h'lm no hurt. He Is generous and public
spirited. If the state will awake to the
Importance of this Industry, provide
means for energetic effort, place some
person In charge who is big enough to
comprehend his work and free from
grafts and petty Influences, my pledge Tor
It, that every mine manager in the state
will lend aid and influence, asking but
one right that "his valuable ores be re
turned, undespolled, to his ore bin.
"With such exhibit as can be obtained
and Intelligent management which will
co-operate on general lines with othe
states with similar exhibits, something
royal can be done for. Oregon's grandest
Industry at the Fan-American Exposition,
at Buffalo, and to show that Oregon's pro
posed centennial exhibition means some
thing more than a display of Oriental cu
rios Jthat Oregon at home has fields for
tillage which Invite the best application
of American men and American money."
Battle in a Lumber Camp.
BANGOR, Me., Dec. 25. A bloody bat

Stream, Upper Kennebec River, and po

totho scena. The light started In a dis

A teamster named Wilson attempted to

drugs and debilitating cathartics. It will do
much toward makinc an old stomach act like

TWO WAY
TO SAVE MONEY
The tourist cars on the St. Louis
Special are very comfortable cars
not so luxurious as palace cars, of
course but very desirable for all
that.
Passengers who go Bast in one
of these cars save money In two
ways in railroad fare and In the
cost of sleeplnjf-car accommoda
tions. In going from Portland to Kansas
City, for example, the total saving,
as against traveling In a palace car,
Is about $16.50
