Steam Engineers Havp Rea son to Oppose Him, J!Sm I HE WORKED AGAINST THEIR BILL Before His Election He Promised His ,Snpport In. the State Senate He Spoke AETnlnst the Measure. The steam engineers of Portland, of whom there are more than 300, see noth ing In the record of R. D. Inman to com mend Wm to them or to any branch of la bor as a candidate for Mayor of the city. More than this, they see ample reason for opposing him. They cite his record as State Senator In 6upport of their position. W. H. Hembree, secretary of the Inter national Union of Stationary Engineers, No. S7, the local organization of that branch of union labor, telle the story of Mr. Inman's treatment of the engineers. Before Mr. Inman's election as State Senator a committee of engineers -went to him "with a copy of 'a bill they wanted passed through the Legislature "for the protection of life and property against loss or damage from the operation of etcam boilers, or steam engines, or steam wherever used for power, by incompetent persons." This bill was drawn by the National body, and was in the eame form as the statutes that had been, passed in several of the states on the same sub ject. Oregon has no law regulating the employment ot steam engineers, nor has Portland, and the engineers desired pro tection from incompetent workmen. Mr. Inman examined the bill .and gave it his unqualified approval, and promised, if he should be elected, to support the measure in the Legislature. Mr. Inman was elected, and went to Sa lem, and the engineers expected nlm to lulfill the pledge he iiad given them rela tive to this bill. It was Introduced by Senator William Smith, of Baker County.

Senator Inman did not support It, but, on tne contrary, made a speech In opposition to Its passage one of the two speeches he made In his legislative career. He not onlj went deliberately back on the pledge he made the committee of engineers, but also showed himself to be so poor a friend of labor as to oppose actively admeasure the engineers regarded as hlghlneElrable for the safety of their business and per sons and the public, and which few states do not have on their statute books. In the Senate Mr. Inman said he would favor the bill if it should be amended. According to his construction of Its lan guage, It would not permit an employer to put an unlicensed substitute at work If his regular licensed engineer should leave or suddenly become incapacitated. It was pointed out that the bill, left that matter in the same situation that the United States law does the marine engineers left it to be covered by rules to be adopt ed by competent authority in this case the Governor and a state examiner. But Senator Inman professed still to see great objection to the measure. He made no move to amend the bill so as to make It accord wthjils views, however. Senator Inmiin's attitude on -this .engi neer bill is deemed sufficient to stamp him as a man wiib willTiot only aIli.tpxecog nlze the rights of labor, but wilt 'posi tively oppose such recognition. Uhe"ngi4 neers will try to get th$r bill through the coming Legislature, and lit .case- of failure there they win try io get the Port land 'City Council to naes anr 6rdinance governing the licensing "of engfheersnv ine ciry. xney 00 not want smr. inman to be in position to veto. the'dtBLrftince, as they are confident 1ijwj5u3cl;ao"lf , he should "be chosen May." ; i3S. ycMyyuon agrees to vote against Srm&iV'iiltrivn(v- !?(ria nn-4 Afft.rl' political matters,'" here,plleu Thfhifter a moment's reflecfilltoo jrcLjie gfgnlnV cantly, Bul I can aBwfeR5Sc3iat our engineers -will not vote forjjrl'iInman for Mayor." "n Mr. Hembree saye there are three eniri neers?-organizations in Portland. One is the International Tlnjon of Steam En gineers, another Is the National Associa tion of Stationary Engineers, and the third Is composed of the marine engineers. All are standing together in this matter, their interests and desires beings iden tical. Two members of the engineers com- rnlttee that submitted the copy of the bill they wanted passed -.by the legislature and received Mr. Inman's pledge that he would. If elected to the State Senater j support it heartily, are John MefrymanT now employed oy uie Troy laundrjV and TV. T. Everson, who Is superintendent of the Vulcan Iron Works.
