Why did we heat all the best houses that -were built Id Pprtland last year such
houses -as those of Messrs. A. Wolfe, H. Alger, W- P. Olds, J. D. Honeyman, or L N.

yeara' experience, but we have the scientific knowledge; also any "tinker" can
"guess how large a furnace It will require to Jieat your house, or how large a
pipe to heat a single room of it, but when It comes to demonstrating why, by
means of figures and scientific knowledge they'll begin to talk on another sub

WASHINGTON,- May 20. Approximate
ly 50,000 machinists throughout the coun
try struck today for a nine-hour day, a
scale of wages equal to the present 10
hqpr per day scale, and other demands.
Thjs Is a rough estimate of President
O'Connell, of the National Association of
ilachinlsts, based on telegraphic- advices
tna't have reached him today from tho
machinists' headquarters' In the various
cities. The strike thus far has not ex
tended to the allied trades, save in one
or' two instances, as at Scranton, Pa.,
where nten In a part of the allied trades
are out, No machinists engaged in gov
ernment work, are affected. This Is due
to. the fact that on. such work an eight-
hour qay schedule already prevails.
Baljroad machinists, tbs a rule, are not
Involve in the strike, though the men
on several roads are out The Central
Vermont shop machinists at St Albans,
numbering probably 200, have struck. The
Ijehigfi Valley Hailroad machinists at
Buffalo, Sayre, Wllkesbarre and "Elmlra
are out, aggregating about BOO all told.
The Delaware, Lackawanna & "Western
men at Buffalo, Scranton, Wllke&barre
and intermediate points are out The
Gulf, Colorado & ganta e men are also
out The strike order, howeyer, does not
apply to the railroads generally. It is
explained at headquarters that there is
no competition between the railroads and
private work and that work among pri
vate establishments is to be adjusted first.
The situation this afternoon was sum
inarlzed by- President O'Connell In the fol
lowing statement to the Associated Press:
"We are demanding a nine-hour day
universally throughout the trade, with an
increase of wages sufficient to overcome
the loss of the hour In time; regulation
of the apprenticeship system and the
number that shall be employed in accord
ance with the number of journeymen ma
chinists employed; agreements -as to ar
bitration of all disputes that may arise
in the future; the right of the machin
ists to be represented by a. committee,
and agreements that ihere shallibe abso
lute!? no discrimination against machin
ists because of. their membership in the
union.
"Prom the present indications andvthe
statements IsfiURdnirohvfheadquftxierB-'Af
the various points, the orders are being
generally obeyed and in larger numbers
than was anticipated. .In seer tain cases
where only a few hundred .were expected
to be involved the Indications are that the
number will be Increased 50' per cent. -The
number of firms signing indicates that
In the localities where the agreements are
being made the! strike will not last over
a few days. In other localities where a
larger number of men are being Involved
I look forward to an adjustment being
reached within the present week." '

CINCINNATI, May 20. At ,a meeting
late this afternoon of the employing ma
chinists, they decided to close down their
-plants Indefinitely as a result of the
strike. A number of the larger firms
declare that- they have enough finished
product on hand to tide them over a
strike without Inconvenience.
At a meeting of the strikers tonight
Business Agent Harry Schilling, of the
combined machinists unions, of this city,
announced that the tie-up in Cincinnati
is the most complete In the country. He
said there were but 100 union machinists
at work today, aside, from the 00 who
.have been already conceded, their terms.
These 100 he pledged would not work
on Tuesday.
Machinists' processions were formed as
early as 7:30 and marched to the larger
manufacturing concerns ani called the
jnen out. The response was general,
even among employes not members of
the Machinists' Association, who had
given' no intimation that they were in
sympathy "with the strike. At several
of the large manufactories ,the men are
all at -work, -even -when-no Increase in

Portland, Nehalem & Tillamook Railway
has, through Its officers, made a formal
proposal to the transcontinental systems
for; tbq building .of a joint line, of which
Portland shall be the terminus, to the
Nehalem and Tillamook regions. Copies of
the proposal have been mailed to E. H.
Harrlnlan, chairman of the .executive com
mittee of the Southern Pacific, Union
Pacific And O. R. & N. Co., and Daniel
S.' Lamont, vice-president and chairman
of the executive committee of the North
ern Pacific. If the Puget Sound Inter
ests should refuse to Join in a single line,
Pprtland -will make every effort to build
an- independent Iinev- Negotiations look
ing to this end are now in progress.
Following is the full text of the pro
posal: "Terminating within the City of Port
land, as do all of the transcontinental
lines you Individually represent, this com
pany, incorporated to build a direct rail
way from Portland into the Nehalem,
composed of 52 merchants, bankers and
others here, has taken it for granted that
your three companies have an equal in
terest, share and share alike, in develop
ing the railroad and steamship interests
of Portland. Railroad experience has
demonstrated to you that, like Chicago,
ban Francisco, St. Louis and Kansas
City, there must be, unitedly on your part,
to secure tho success of all your trans
continental lines, one city or terminus
oh this North Pacific Coast, and that
any spasmodic railway efforts for di
vergence of traffic from that terminus
into two or more neighboring cities event
ually ends, as history records, in ostra
cising the lino which. tries to divert that
traffic.
"If Portland had not already secured that
which no transcontinental line can Indi
vidually take away from it oyer 70 per J
cent of the foreign export and Import trade,
merchandise, lumber, grain, steamships, lo
cal traffic and passengers of the Pacific
Northwest It might have been presump
tuous on our part to demand, as we now
do, from your three transcontinental lines
terminating here, that Portland be made'
the soleand united final terminus for all
railway lines to be built hereafter Sjhto
those vast undeveloped Nehalem and Tll
lamookterritorles now.adiolnlnjr. .and, all
lhAg.nati
theea) to Portland? spthat all of " their 1
timber, coal, dairy and other productions
shall be carried through this city for re
distribution elsewhere; not. with the view
of paying tribute to Caesar (Portland),
but because it is the shortest line, easiest
grade and most Inexpensive per mile in
construction, and therefore operated
cheaper than any other longer haul, car
rying, as we all know here, the greatest
traffic per mile. Besides all this, our de
mand for direct rail transportation is
made more tangible from' the Nehalem
into Portland by -the fact that our city
makes already 1,250,000 feet of lumber per
1 day, two-thirds of which goes daily over
your three transcontinental llneaj con
sequently. If, by a combination o'f your
three lines for carrying that Nehalem
lumber by rail over one lino Into this
city, and we have the rail facilities, we
can hereafter manufacture here 10,000,000
feet of lumber dally. If we can only se
cure the transportation facilities into
Portland direct to do so, and that traffic
is not diverted to California and to Puget
Sound, because yellow fir logs for Port
land may be delivered for $4 50 to 54 75
per 1000, including freight, by rail, to our
Immediate suburbsr-less prices than possi
ble elsewhere, now J6 per 1000 here. In
these circumstances, Portland and our
company have welcomed with pleasure
the community of Interest plan, recently
Inaugurated by your three lines, whereby.
In order to prevent unnecessary competi
tion among Pacific Northwest railroads,
your three lines will unite upon the selpc
tlon of one railroad to be; built. If the
shortest, cheapest, to construct and oper
ate to a.new territory is available.
"Relying, therefore, upon this commu
nity of Interests being carried out In gcod
faith in its Integrity by your three lines,
you will see that Portland is pre-eminently
suited, with its large population,
terminus and lumber-seat of manufacture,
to be chosen by your three companies.
"We therefore submit the following details
of a proposition for your joint consid
eration! "First That the Portland. Nehalem &
Tillamook Railway Company should con
tract to build 43 miles of railway from
the north suburbs of Portland, on the
navigable "Willamette, to the summit of
the Coast Range, shown on map. all as
already surveyed. In exchange for first
mortgage bonds of 515,000 per mile, and
common stock of S5000 per mile, fully paid
up, delivered to contractors only on com
pletion of the railway, to become your
joint property.
"Second That the Northern, Union and
Southern Pacific share equally In the own
ership and operation of said railway and
its bonds and stocks, and become its joint
permanent owners for 5645,000 to $650,000 in
cash, or $217,000 payable to each com
pany (exclusive of rolling stock, one-
third whereof to be contributed oy eacnj,
the Northern agreeing to abandon its pro.
posed Scappoose-PIttsburg branch; and all
future extensions thereafter proposed to
be made from the Coast Range terminus
Into the Nehalem and Tillamook terri
tories only be constructed, however, on
the vote of your three companies com
bined.
"Third" That, except sawlogs, all freight
destined for points on either of the three
transcontinental lines, or local traffic to
and from Portland, shall be delivered at
the Union Depot, Portland, to the three
respective lines at one fixed, agreed-upon
local rate to all. from Nehalem; and the
Northern Pacific to be paid an annual
trackage by the Portland, 3Tehalem & Til
lamook Company, direct, for the five to
six miles the latter may occupy- into
North Portland.
"Fourth That, If preferred, the North
ern,, Southern and Union Pacific Compa
nies, jointly or any two of them (if one
refuses to jcin in the sole ownership of
the direct line from Nehalem Into Port
land's suburbs, as above proposed), shall
be permitted. Instead of owning that line,

THE STRIKE AT SAN FRANCISCO.
Sixty-five Hundred Union Machinists
Q,nlt Work.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 20. Sixty-five
hundred union machinists and other iron
trade workers affiliated with them quit
work in this city today. It Is expected
fhat about 1000 more men will join the
strike as soon as they are ordered to do
so by their respective national directors.
Among the latter are the Iron molders
and the core makers. The other crafts
affected Include almost every branch of
Hie Iron shipbuilding and boiler-making
trades.
In pursuance of a plan adopted yester
day by the Iron trades council, the men
reported for work as usual at 7 o'clock
this morning and at 9 o'clock their chosen
representatives waited upon the employers
and stated that they desired an immediate
answer to the message conveyed In the
agreement submitted some time ago.
Then the committees returned to the men
and ordered .them to cease work. Without
a murmur of dissent the command was
obeyed and without the least disorder the
employes walked -out and peaceably dis
persed. Of the 4000 men employed at the Union
Iron "Works, 3700 went out. At the Rls
don Iron Works, 650 men 6tartted work
this morning and only 50 of them remain
there. On the payroll of the Fulton Iron
Works there are about 600 names and 500
of them voluntarily quit labor today. From
theee three establishments alone 4900 men
have walked out. In rhe local Industry
there are 99 shops and of these there are
only 10 that employ more than 100 men.
Eight of the smaller concerns acceded to
the demands of their men prior to this
morning. AH the others refused to sign
the agreement? submitted by their union
employes.'
After a meeting of the ooard of direc
tors of the Union Iron Works this morn
ing. Irving M. Scott, vice-president and
general manager, made the folowing state
ment:
"John Fitzpatrick, chairman of the
strike committee, held a conference with
us this morning. We offered him as a
settlement the nine hours a day asked for
SAN FRANCISCO May 30.-Mrs. Mo
Klnley passed a very good afternoon and
the President is very cheerful over tho

9 p. m. Secretary Cortelyou gave out the
following statement:
Drs. Hirschfelder and Gibbons met Dr.
Rixey at 8:30 p. m. They find that Mrs
McKlnley's Improvement has continued
through the day and that her condition to
night Is excellent. Drs. Hirschfelder,
Gibbons and Cushing will meet Dr. Rlxey
at 11:30 a. m. tomorrow."
While no definite date has been set for
the President's departure the present ar
rangements are to go direct to Washing
ton and not to Canton, as has been un
officially stated. During the remainder
of his stay in this city, the President will
participate in as many public gatherings
as the condition of Mrs. McKinley will
warrant, but only in an impromptu and
informal way. Weather permitting,, the
President tomorrow will review the school
children of the city.
