THE MORTSTTTO OTJEGONIAN, WEDNESDAY,, OCTOBER 16, 19011-,
ION MEN QUIT WORK
XONGSHOREMEX DEMAND RECOG
NITION FROM STEVEDORES.
Have Established Headquarters,
From "Which, lien. ainst Be Em
ployed So Danger of TIe-tJp.
The hitch in the relations between the
general longshore workers and the steve
dores on the -water .front was unchanged
yesterday. No one admits that a -strike
is in progress nor that there is any mis
understanding. It is said by each side
that the other is quite well aware of the
precise situation and of the intentions
of the opposition. One of the adverse
developments of the trouble is the sailing
away of the steamship Alberta from As
toria. The Alberta arrived at Astoria
Monday evening and yesterday morning
sailed out again, her charterers evidently
fceing timorous about a strike. Should tho
trouble evolve into a formidable dispute.
It Is probable that other ships on their
way to this port will have their destina
tion changed either to Puget Sound or to
San Francisco.
A situation therefore, serious enough
to cause apprehension for the commer
cial interests of the city lias shaped it
self. But from present -indications no
le-np -of shipping is likely to occur,
loading of vessels with nonunion men
went forward yesterday in spite of the
idleness of the organized longshoremen.
Four crews were at work. The Grain
handlers' Union is closely affiliated -with
that of the longshoremen, and in sym
pathy with it Yesterday a crew of
gralnhandlers, members of the ' union,
quit work at Irving dock, refusing to co
operate with the nonunion longshoremen
on the ship BourbakL Delay in loading
'the vessel was short, however, and in a
SIttle while those who had left work were
replaced with other men. No disposition
to do violence has been shown. The union
men deny that a strike exists. Perhaps
technically it does not, but actually it
does, since the union forces refuse to go
to work until their terms are accepted.
The union comprises about 250 men. It
claims all the skilled longshoremen of
the water front, although four nonunion
crews were working yesterday and mak
ing good progress. Both sides are pro
ceeding cautiously, endeavoring to pre
vent an open rupture. So far the busi
ness interests of the city do not seem to
fce in jeopardy, but it is Tecognlzed that
the trouble will have to be handled gin
gerly. The recent protracted tie-up at
fian Francisco is up before the imagina
tion of 'the disputants and admonishes
them against radical methods. The long
shoremen perhaps appreciate the gravity
of the situation, but broadly hint that
they are willing to resort to extremities
to "win their point the recognition of
their union.
The Root of the Trouble.
The root of the trouble is quite plain.
It is in fact recognition of the Long
shoremen's Union. The means employed
fry the union are somewhat novel. It in
sists that stevedores shall engage long
shoremen at the union headquarters on
Front street, between Burnslde and
Couch. Nowhere else in the city will
'workers be found, and unless stevedores
are willing to recognize these headquar
ters and comply with the mandate, no
union longshoremen will respond. These
headquarters were but recently estab
lished. The pretext of the union for its
action is that it desires to remove its
jnea Irom the temptations and vices of
Burnslde 'street, between Second and
Third, the hitherto appointed meeting
place for longshoremen who want work.
It has been customary for foremen of the
stevedores to engage longshoremen here
between the hours of 5:30 and 9 A. M. and
41 A. M. and 2 P. M. The moral effect on
the men who spend the day about the
saloons there Is said to be bad. It is quite
well understood tha this pretext is a
garment for the one purpose of the union,
.namely, to get recognition for the union.
The pretext is a worthy one, but the union
will perhaps have a hard time to keep
its members at headquarters away from
the Burnslde-street saloons if the exam
ple of yesterday was a fair one. Over
100 union longshoremen loitered about the
old places, whereas the new headquarters
eeveral blocks away from the saloon evil
were nearly deserted. It was explained
by the president of the union, Phil Car
rol, that this circumstance was only na
tural, since no men were engaged for
work after 2 o'clock and that the mem
bers of the union after that hour in
dulged in 'social pleasures. In regard to
the position of the union Mr. Carrol said:
Stand of the Union.
"We want no trouble and will avoid it
if we can. But we are not going to be
hluffed. "We are contending for principle,
and are determined to assert that princi
ple Our union must be recognized, and in
equity should be. "We have no complaint
to make about wages, nor are we engaged
Jn a strike. If our services are needed
there is only one place where they may
be had and that is at our headquarters.
JCo man will go to work unless he is
engaged there. We have a strong organ
ization of 250 members. All longshoremen
of any account are members of it. Long
shoremen who are not are not skilled in
the work, and it is poor economy for
stevedores to invest in their services. Our
union controls the loading of ships at
Portland, .both Jby its own strength and
toy its close relationship Tvith the steam
boat longshoremen and the Gralnhandlers
X'nlon. It is not much that we ask, only
recognition of "the union. If it is not given
to us we are ready to win It."
Recognition Is Demanded.
A. Madsen, another prominent leader of
the union," said:
"Our pay of 50 cents per hour and 75
cents per hour overtime Is satisfactory
to us. But something else, vital to the
principles of unionism, is not satisfactory.
3. mean the vant of recognition for our
union. The firm of Brown & McCabe has
shown bad faith in this matter. Captain
iBrown promised us recognition in so many
words, and now has gone back on his
word. He said he would give us the pref
erence in employment of men, and now
he has backed away from his promise.
"We are entitled to this preference. We
have worked for Captain Brown a long
time. Let me give you a pertinent per
sonal illustration. Suppose that you, an
old employe of the paper you represent,
Were given a place inferior to new men;
nvould you like it? This illustration shows
nvhere we stand. We deserve this recog
nition and preference. Our aim is to
force nothing unjust upon Brown & Mc
Cabe. If they really knew it, their in
terests are entirely 'safe in the justice of
our principles. Our union alms to be just
to employers, but it also insists upon the
rights of its 'members. Its object is not
to crowd out nonunion men. Our or
ganization can stand by Itself -without
that. But it must Insist upon recogni
tion. A Seeming Inconsistency.
The union was organized last August.
TJp to that time there had been none for
lour years. The existing good wages are
not the product of unionism. Further
more, the members of the union are most
ly the same men who four years ago
aided in the annihilation of the striking
union which at that time died in the
struggle. As Mr. Madsen yesterday ad
mitted, only 2 or 3 per cent of the mem
bers of the old union are in the new. It
is charged against the new union that Its
members are inconsistent; that they who
lought the union four years ago and were
then "scabs" are now union men them
selves and the other fellows are the
"scabs." It is said in reply that the old
union was a local one, organized on nar
row principles, while the new union is
organized on a National basis, and that
this Is a vital difference, and enough to
explal nthe Teason of the present conten
tion. Captain Brown declares that he is able
to run his own business and to deal fairly
with his employes without the interfer
ence -of a union. As evidence, he adduces
the wages of 50 cents per hour, which
were not exacted by a union, but given
freely by the stevedores. He said:
"The longshoremen declare that I con
sented to recognize their union. I recog
nize a union man? Of course I will; that
is, when he works. I don't care whether
he belpngs to a union or not, but I
do care whether he works. If "he attends
to business, I will recognize him, and he
may belong to all the unions on earth.
But I reserve the right to hire what men
I choose and where I choose. When I
need men I will pick them out myself,
and nobody shall do It for me. I am ex
pected to send down to the union for men,
and the union will select them. This Is
not business, and I shall not consent to It
So long as I am engaged in loading ships
I shall employ the most efficient men I
can find, and I don't care whether they
are members of the Y. M. C. A., the
Knights of Pythias- or the Longshore
men's Union. If any organization should
demand that I hire only Its members, I
should ignore the demand, just as I am
doing this.
"The union threatens to go into the
stevedoring business. That is none of my
affair, and I have nothing to say about
it X will say this much, however: If the
union does this It will not increase the
amount of shipping, and it Is not clear
how the longshoremen will be benefited.
No matter how many stevedores there
may be, there Is just so much business
and so many men.
"'As to the statement that I am allied
with the San Francisco stevedores, that Is
untrue. I never co-operated with them in
any way, and any declaration to the con
trary is a lie."
Attempt to Influence Nonunion Men.
Some of the members of the union have
been endeavoring to persuade nonunion
workers in the harbor to- stop work, but
have not as yet met with, much success.
Several of them said yesterday that these
objects of their persuasion would in a
day or two fall into line. If a complete
tie-up .comes, Portland will be put to a
decided disadvantage in its competition
with the Coast This harbor has boasted
of its freedom from strikes and of- Its
promptness in loading ships. In view of
the approaching arrival of the United
States transport Adato, which comes for
forage supplies, Portland stands a chance
of suffering a handicap in Its competition
for Government shipping.
DOESN'T WANT A FAIR.
Mr. Wittenberg Echoes J. Frank
"Watson's Protest.
PORTLAND, Oct.lo-(To the Editor.)
As a citizen and taxpayer of this city, I
desire. to place myself on record regard
ing the 1903 Lewis and Clark Fair, and to
state that I fully agree with the views of
Mr. J. Frank Watson a9 to our inability
to hold such an exposition. In my opin
ion, our city is not large enough to carry
out a scheme of such magnitude. We
would have to depend entirely on our abil
ity to bring people from a long distance to
view the exposition. The local population
would be of such small amount as to
make it entirely a matter of no considera
tion, and I believe the time to take this
matter up is the present I believe that
we should get all the prominent citizens
and taxpayers of this city to voice their
opinions In the premises, so that if it
is decided to drop the plan of having the
exposition it should be done at an early
date, as later on we would be ridiculed
to a considerable extent I would sug
gest that through the columns of your
paper you ask all taxpayers of this city to
mail you a postal card stating whether
they are in favor of or against the fair.
This will afford a good opportunity of
feeling the public pulse. Either this should
be done (and I believe this i9 the simplest
way) or a mass meeting should be called
asking the people to attend and voice
their sentiments on this question. Don't
let it go, too long, as we might be brought
to a poln,t where, while we did not want
to go ahead, we would be compelled to
on account of the position we would be
placed In, while If it is decided at this
early date we can easily drop the mat
ter without very much comment. I think
it is a very Important matter and should
he attended to at once. Personally, I feel
that expositions are not a benefit to a
city. I am satisfied that Buffalo has made
a mistake and is sorry that she has haa
a fair. In talking with a few of the citi
zens of that place about 10 days ago,
they told me that all of the stock and a
good portion of their bonds would be
-wiped out. One man with whom I talked
had made a subscription of many thou
sands of dollars and said he did not ex
pect a cent of It to be returned. The re
action after an exposition of this kind Is
always very detrimental to a city's inter
est We are having a glut of fairs and
expositions In other parts of our coun
try where the population Is quite dense.
If they cannot make a success, how is It
possible for us to do so, situated as we
are In this sparsely settled section of the
country? I believe if one-fourth of, the
money that would be subscribed towards
this fair were used in advertising our
country, In beautifying our streets and
attracting people here, through proper
channels, It would be far better for us.
"Very respectfully yours,
H. WITTENBERG.
COMING ATTRACTIONS.
Last Performance of "In Old Ken
tucky." "In Old Kentucky," the elaborate pro
duction which has delighted crowds at the
Marquam for two nights, will be given
its final performance tonight. The pick
aninny band, which is a star feature,
took In the baseball game yesterday and
delighted the crowd -with their playing.
Sale of Seats for Robson Today.
The sale of seats will open this morn
ing at 10 o'clock for Mr. Stuart Robson
in "The Henrietta," which is the attrac
tion at the Marquam Grand Theater Fri
day night, October 18, and Saturday mat
inee (only), October 19.
Every theatergoer will he desirous of
seeing Stuart Robson as "Bertie the
Lamb." It not only means that they are
to laugh as another generation has
laughed before them, at Mr. Robson's
great comedy creation, but that they will
see that first and greatest of American
comedies, "The Henrietta' produced up
on a more elaborate order than It has
ever been during its 14 years career. All
modern accessories in the way of rich
settings have been given to the play.
Hermann, -the Great.
The great and only Hermann comes to
the Marquam Grand Theater Monday
and Tuesday nights, October 21-22, in his
magnificent exhibition of magic and oc
cult phenomena. The critical theater
goers of the United States have long since
endorsed the marvellous work of this
great Hermann, and It Is safe to say
that as an entertainer In magic and sen
sational illusions his standard is abso
lutely secure as being the foremost pur
veyor of this style of entertainment on
the American stage.
"Yon Yonson" Coming to Cordray's.
Thall & Kennedy's, old familiar play,
"Yon Yonson," which broke all records
at Cordray's Theater two years -ago, will
return Sunday night for a week's en
gagement, and already there is so much
interest in the event that crowded houses
are assured for the entire week. The
play has been appropriately called the
Swedish "Uncle Tom's Cabin," for Its
popularity never wanes, no matter how
often it returns. A large measure of
Its popularity, however, Is attributable
to the fact that Messrs. Thall & Ken
nedy never fall to give it an elaborate
production, engaging the best people they
can find for the several parts, all of which
require special interpretation. Among
the members who have been seen here
before is Miss Beatrice Norman, an act
ress who is well remembered by the fre
quenters of Cordray's, and who will be
eagerly welcomed again. The remainder
of the cast Is strong and a production is
promised which will only add to the pop
ularity of this perenlally fascinating play.

BROOKLYN SEWER SYSTEM
It "Will Again Be Discussed at a Sub
Donrd Sleeting.
The Brooklyn Sub-Board of Trade has
changed the time and place of meeting
to Thursday night and to Webfoot engine
house on Powell and East Eighteenth
streets. The first meeting at the new
place will be held tomorrow evening,
when the proposed Brooklyn sewer sys
tem will again come up for discussion. It
was considered one evening by the board
and then further consideration was de
ferred one month. There is no more light
to throw on the probable cost of the
system than was shed from the reports
at the last meeting.
The City Engineer has said that he
would have the district surveyed this
Fall and the extent of the territory as well
as the routes of the Jarge conduit deter
mined and the branches located within
several months, but It would take a long
time to prepare full plans and details, on
AITKEN.
account of the magnitude of the proposed
system. Under favorable conditions It
would probably be two years before the
contract could be let and work started.
There is considerable difference of opin
ion in the district over the advisability
of having the system built even within
that time. The opposition says that the
.population Is too small to carry out the
heavy cost and that it would confiscate
much property if It is put in. Those fav
orable set forth that it is bound to come,
and 'that in the end it will be cheaper
to pay for the sewer than to build cess
pools. FATE OF THE CUT-WORMS.
Pestilence Swept Them Away Them
selves "Victims of Parasites.
Corvallls Times.
The armies of cutworms that did so
much damage In Wllamette Valley gar
dens last year and the year before were
not on hand this season. Last year they
ate up garden after garden. Owners
dosed them with coal oil, chased them
with clubs, swore like steamboat cap
tains at them and tried every other means
to rid their gardens of the multitudes
of pests. But It all came to naught The
worms got out of sight when the pro
prietor hove in sight, and appeared again
by countless hundreds when he had dis
appeared. One row after another of
growing vegetables was destroyed, the
worms never leaving the garden patch
until they had wrecked it. But the worms
were absent this season. They went as
mysteriously and suddenly as they came,
and the fact o'f how they went is most
Interesting.
The cutworms all died, and died in a
peculiar way. A germ disease went
through their ranks like a pestilence, and
never ceased Its ravages till the last
worm was at rest The death of every
-o8
worm was identical with that of his
comrade. On the rear end of
each, a diseased place appeared. The
affection was only a speck at first, but It
grew larger and larger until half the
worm was involved. As the affection ad
vanced along the body the worm grew
more and more feeble, and at last died.
Hundreds of them in various stages of
the disease were put under the micro
scope at the college and studied. Germs
were taken from them and cultures made.
From the cultures other worms were In
oculated, . and the disease was' repro
duced with perfect precision. The 'In
vestigation led to a fixed conviction that
the disease was epidemic In the cutworm
world, and the non-appearance . ot the
pests this season shows how fatal it was.
Professor Pernot, who made the investi
gation, believes that the disease was con
tracted by something that the worms
ate, as In every case the digestive or
gans were involved. Professor Pernot
still has a supply of the fatal germs on
hand ready to dose any stray cutworm
that happens around.
ADVICE TO PORTLAND.
Slining Stock Exchange Should In
vestigate Sumpter District.
Correspondence of Baker City Democrat.
Sumpter. Now that the Portland Mining
Exchange has started doing business
again, this is a good time to call the
attention of the management to the fact
that a thorough Investigation of the
Sumpter mining district would prove of
Inestimable benefit to the exchange. A
competent mineralogist sent here In the
Interest of the hoard could do more than
anything else to demonstrate to mining
Investors the possibilities that are lying
right at Portland's doors. It Is said tho
mines of Nevada made San Francisco the
city and commercial center she is today,
and created two-thirds of her millionaires.
There is no reason why Portland should
not be benefited fully as much as San
Francisco by' her mines. The establish
ment and success of a mining exchange
depends much upon the stability ana
character of the securities dealt In. If
bona fide Investments in bona fide proper
ties are constantly presented; If the wild
cat propositions are eliminated and pre
vented from being dealt in on the floors
of the exhange, then will Its success be
assured.
Careful attention should be paid to the
character of the stock, listed, and nothing
but first-class securities, or properties
with first-clas9 possibilities, should be
handled by the patrons of the exchange.
More interest In mining matters should
be taken by Portland people. The suc
cess of the exchange should be one of the
business men's first considerations. It Is
Impossible to estimate . the amount of
wealth that will flow to the city should
its citizens once- get the control of leading
mining properties. Thousands of dollars
today would be In the possession of Port
land people had they taken advantage of
the chances offered them In years gone by
to get hold of gilt-edged mining proper
ties. It is a well-known fact that the
big producers of this district have been
developed with Eastern capital In almost
every instance, and there Is not one of
them that could not have been acquired
by Portland people at Borne time or other.
The output of these mines goes East,
and out of the state, when by right It
should get no farther away than Port
land. But this is not saying these oppor
tunities are lost. There are just as good
and many- more being presented right
along. All that is necessary is to Investi
gate these opportunities, Invest capital In
them and make them pay big Interest on
the original investment Unless Interest
Is aroused In good paying securities a
mining exchange can never hope to suc
ceed; therefore, every effort must be put
forth to handle this class of stock and
prove to the' public that the opportunities
for gain in mining securities are as many
as in any other calling.

GOOD COFFEE MAKER.
Experience With the Berry,
"I have gained twenty-five pounds
since I left off coffee and began drinking
Postum Food Coffee In Its place.
''I had become very thin In flesh and
suffered tortures with heartburn, was a
nervous wreck with headache practically
all the time until one dreadful day when
the good doctor told me I must quit
drinking coffee, as he had nothing left
to try to relieve me.
"I could not drink tea and had tried
everything else, even Postum, but put it
by at the first trial, because It was taste
less. "Forced to it again, I determined to
see If it could not be made palatable and
found at once that when I followed direc

not only liked It but gave It to my hus
band for several days without his finding
It out. I have the name of making
splendid coffee, and we always U3ed
the best, but of late I have given Postum
to guests many times in place of coffee
and have never been detected yet.
"Our four children have not drank cof
fee for three years, and all have gained
health and flesh since using Postum.
One son, who was always sick, has been
greatly benefited by Its use, and as above
stated, I have gained twenty-five pounds
since taking up Postum. I am healthier
today than I have been for years and
give Postum all the credit Please do not
use my name In public."
This lady lives in Burlington, Iowa,
and the name will be furnished by the
Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., Battle Creek,
Mich., to those Interested.
