THE MORKING OKEGOKIAN, SATURDAY, AUGUST 2, 1902.
ONE BOYCOTT OFF
All Restaurants of City De
clared Fair.
ACT OF FEDERATED TRADES
Ineonveniece to Union 3Ien Results
in Its Withdrawal Great Demon
stration Is Planned In Wel
come of President Gomperi.
All restaurants in the city were declared
fair at the meeting of the Federated J
Trades Council last night, and union men
are now privileged to eat at any restau
rant that they like, without the fear of
being fined as the result. The Waiters'
Alliance, however, asks that 'the men re
member the restaurants that have signed
their agreement and stood by them. The
union will not diminish its efforts to
unionize the restaurants of the city, but
the members feel that they have not gone
about it in the best way, and will try in
another way to have them Join the union
ranks. Their action in withdrawing the
unfair restaurants from the blackboard
was due to the fact that there are but
ver few of the gobd houses unionized and
the union men were complaining that they
had to go to unfair houses to get a good
meal or else walk for ''a long distance,
and that too much inconvenience was
being caused by the boycott.
For several months this action has been
anticipated, and the men have been com
plaining of enforcing the boycott. A fine
of $5 was imposed by most of the unions
upon any man that was found eating In
an unfair house, and this served as a
strong inducement to make them enforce
the boycott. The complaints were many,
however, and in most cases it was the flne
only that made the men remember their
union principles. "I have not had a good
meal for a month," said a union man the
other day. "What is the matter?" said
his companion. "Well," said he, "If I eat
at a restaurant that is not fair. I have
to stand a fine, and I don't like to pay
$5 for a meaL It is so far to a union
house that I would rather get a lunch or
go to a saloon and get a free lunch than
to go so far for a meal. I am going to
risk it tonight, however, and if I'm caught
I will -pay the fine. I am -not going to
starve."''
Two men were going , along the street
at a late hour. "I am hungry," said one.
"Let's go In fcere and get something to
eat before we go home."
"No. I can't eat there," said the other.
"That Is not a union house. Let's go
down to X' restaurant."
"No, I don't like that place. I have
tried it too often."
"Well, I don't either, but it Is about
the best that we can do unless we walk
eight or 10 blocks, for I will have to pay
a fine If I eat at a scab house."
"Oh, we can slip into a box and no one
will catch you. Better risk it; we don't
want to walk so far," and the two slipped
In and took the chance. After the labor
ers had done this for some time they de
cided that it was time for a change to be
made, and the action of the council last
night was the result.
The Walters' Union will still continue
their efforts, but on a different line, and
hope to manage to unionize all of the
restaurants of the -city.
"It is to the best Interest of the bosses,"
6aid one of their number last night," to
have their houses unionized, and we be
lieve that if we go about it in a differ
ent way It can be brought about. We
will reorganize our union and work on an
entirely different plan. We do not count
on having another strike. We will try
and get as many of the waiters into the
union as we can, but will have only good
men, and will try to give the bosses such
good service that they will want to have
-union help rather than nonunion help.
We have nothing in view: that is, we are
not working with the Intention of getting
a raise or of getting a change of condi
tions, or of forcing the restaurants to do
any special thing. What we want is to
get the waiters and the restaurants or
ganized, and then everything will work
out to the satisfaction of all."
Labor Mass Meeting: Monday.
Monday will be a big day In lab'or cir
cles. Samuel Gcmpers, the National pres
ident, accompanied by James O. Connell,
third vice-president of the American Fed
eration and president of theMachinlsts'
International Union, and Max Morris,
fourth vice-president of the American
Federation and treasurer of the Retail
Clerks' International Union, will be in the
city, and a large labor mass meeting will
be held. The union men are all taking
much interest in this meeting and will en
deavor to have all of their nonunion
friends present to hear the labor question
discussed by some of the Nation's most
able men. The last mass meeting was a
success In every way. but they are ex
pectlng a still bigger and more represent
ative crowd at the meeting Monday night.
An effort Is being made to have the peo
pie who are not so- thoroughly acquaint
ed with the labor situation attend the
meeting rather than those who are al
raady stanch advocates of union princi
ples.
From now until the 1st of September
will be full of events in labor, circles and
the celebration on Labor day, September
1, will be the finest that has ever been
given on the Coast- The Portland Labor
ers' Union will give a picnic at Jefferson
Garden on August 10. The Butchers'
Union will give a barbecue at Troutdale
August 17, and the Laundry Workers'
Union will give a picnic at Lady Allen,
August 24.
The preparations that are being made
for Labor day are extensive, and all of
the unions are taking up the work. The
Labor day buttons are now out and may
be had at the Labor Press headquarters,
232 Washington street, or at 133 North
Sixth street. Much interest is also being
taken in the ball that will be given on
Labor day, and the tickets will be on
sale Monday at these places.
The. expressmen last night removed the
boycott from the Gillam Auction House
and it is now a union house.
FISHERMEN'S LAW.
English Principles Abont . FIshing
Leases and Fouling Streams.
London Globe.
Anglers are not usually a litigious set of
men, but within the last few years they
have appeared occasionally before the high
court to protect their rights and interests.
This has no doubt been caused by the in
creased value of fishings and the difficulty
of obtaining and preserving a good fishing
stream. The formation of fishery districts
and conservancy boards under recent sta
tutes has been a useful means of attaining
this object, while prosecutions under by
laws and proceedings to prevent river pol
lution have provided lawyers with a con
siderable amount of work. The class of
caws to which we more particularly wish
to refer to here, says the Justice of the
Peace, are of a somewhat different kind,
as they deal rather with the legal nature
of a fishery, and of tho power to lease It,
and the right conferred by such a lease.
Generally the right of fishing In a river
or stream belongs to the adjoining owner,
or rather to the owner of the bed of the
river or stream; This right may, however,
be oeveral and dealt with as a separate In
corporeal hereditament apart from the
ownership of the soil. This may be done
by grant, or the right may be acquired by
prescription. In the older books such a
severed fishery was called a several fishery
or senaralis piscaria. In the same way aa
the fishlntr could be severed and become a
separate incorporeal hereditament, so could
It be leased by deed for a term of years.
At common law such a lease. If not grant
ed by deed, would merely amount to a
license and confer no right of property;
but if lwas Intended to be a lease, spe
cific performance might now be granted In
the chancery Givision. It has been said
that a right to fish and not to take away
the fish might be given verbally or by.
writing without deed, as it Is the taking
away of the fish which, being a profit a
prendre, constitutes the interest in land.
If, however, the right of fishing Is granted
by deed, the grant will clearly Imply that
the grantee can take away the fish. Inas
much also as the grantee acquires an in
terest in land, he can sue In trespass to
prevent any injury to or disturbance of
his right.
ELECTS NEW PRESIDENT.
Civic Improvement Association
Chooses Tliomas McCoulccr.
At the monthly meeting of the Lewis
and Clark Civic Improvement Association
last night. President Gibson s resignation
was read and accepted and Thomas
McCusker elected to fill the vacancy. The
secretary, who had been instructed by
the association to report the existence
of a cesspool on Mill street to the Board
of Health, stated that a letter had been
written to the Health Commissioner and
the pools filled with broken stone; also
that the Portland Railway Company had.
upon request of the association, removed
unsightly colls of wire piled along the
sidewalk on Chapman street.
The committee appointed to have" the
old abandoned houses at Eighteenth and
Alder streets pulled down reported that
it had been unable to. acocmpllsh any
thing, owing to the fact that no owner
could be found. It would be glad to
learn the name of the owner of this
property.
A number of new members were re
ported, among' them several children, who
had called at the office of the association,
and reported the plants presented them
by the association were doing well. H.
Wittenberg called attention to the ob
structions by the City & Suburban
on Third street, between Glisan and
Flanders, for so long a time, consuming
some three weeks to make repairs which
should be done in one week, compelling
people living on the East Side to transfer
from one car to another and walk a full
block, and stated that this was .block
ading the streets and sidewalks in vio
lation of the city ordinances. Mr. Wit

Association should take some action in
the matter. He also called attention to
the fact that the company has franchises
on all the bridges In South Portland and
on a number of streets, but that It op
erated only one line. The consequence
was, other lines were kept out of South
Portland and the public greatly Incon
venienced, and he recommended that tho
matter be investigated. He also said
this company violated its charter In the
poor service It gives on some of its lines
on the East Side. Mr. Wittenberg stated
he was in thorough sympathy with the
objects of the association and announced
his willingness to work to change condi
tions for the betterment of the city.
R. V. Pratt expressed himself as will
ing to take an active part in the work of
the association, having been associated
in similar work In St. Paul and witnessed
Its beneficent results.
Otto Schumann and other new members
signified their willingness to aid the as
sociation in Its work.

He "Will Take Steps to Pre

DES MOINES. Ia., Aug. L Governor
Cummins announced today, that he is In
vestigating the recent reorganization of
the Chicago. Rock Island & Pacific Rail
way Company, with a view to ascertain
ing whether the organization Is in all re
spects in harmony with the laws of the
State of Iowa. He will confer with the
Attorney-General as joon as the latter re
turns to the city.
Governor Cummins stated that the first
question he" is Inquiring Into is as to
whether the Inflation of the capital stock,
which is contemplated by the reorganiza
tion, is consistent with the Iowa law. In
the second -place, he desires to know just
how far It is lawful for a New Jersey cor
poration to own and control the property
of a railway owned and operated In Iowa.
He has not reached a conclusion on either
of these questions, and declares that he
means to give them a thorough Investiga
tion before he decides what his duty to
ward the new company may be under the
premlsps.
"It may be." he said, "that the Iowa
laws contemplate as much latitude as this
company has used, but I doubt that very
much. 'It 13 my opinion that this reorgan

HONOR FOR A

J. A. Madsen, ex-preaident of tho Longshoremen's Union, of this city, and or
ganizer for this district, haa recently returned from tho annual convention of the
InternatIonal Longshoremen, Marine and Transport Workera' Association, to which
he was the delegate from Portland. While there he was elected fourth vlce-presl-'

has been'such an inflation of capital stock
here as is not contemplated by the laws
of this state. It Is true that there is no
limit placed upon the capitalization of
such a company, but there Is a limit upon
the .indebtedness df such corporations, ana
there must be . something shown to the
credit of the stockholders of such a com
pany which will represent the difference
in -Increased capitalization.
"It Is my understanding that, under
the Rock Island plan of readjustment.
every noider or iw snares oi ccramon
stock Is to receive a $10,000 bond secured
by a collateral trust mortgage upom the
present Rock Island stock. In addition
to this, they receive In the Rock Island
Company of New Jersey 70 shares In a
preferred stock and 100 shares In common
stock, the preferred stock being preferred
to the extent of 4 per cent from tne earn
ings of each year for a period of seven
years, when It becomes preferred for 5
per cent for an additional period of seven
years, after which it Is preferred. I be
lieve, to the extent of 6 per cent per an

newspapers.
Now the capitalization of the old Rock
Island Company was but $75,000,000. while
the new company, located in Iowa, de
clares a capital of $125,000,000. There must
be something, to my mind, to show, more

removed by that act In Its original form.
Under the present law, there are limita
tions in this regard. I am not willing to
sit by and allow a proposition of such
enormous size to amalgamate without In
quiring Into the methods which It employs
and their conformity to the state laws. I
am convinced that such a centralization
of capital and power Is dangerous, to say
the least, and cannot be encouraged with
out threatening business Interests. Such
a centralization of capital means that
there may follow an explosion, which,
when it comes, Is likely not only to affect
one but many Interests. There Is reason,
therefore, why I have felt It my duty to
inquire into this present case In Iowa."
Says the Papers Are All Right.
NEW YORK. Aug. 1. Regarding the
dispatch from Des Moines, that Governor
Cummins may taTce action against the
Rock Island company, an official of that
road said today:
"I do not believe that there Is any point
at which our incorporation In the State
of Iowa can be attacked. The incorpora

The Lancet, the well-known English

the question of the transmission of genius

the sons of great poets are generally dull

generation wherein it Is kindled. Indeed.
It often seems to burn out the very apti
tude for paternity; or Is It that the poet
ia generally too poor to permit himself
the delight of fatherhood? However it
may oc, many eminent -cngiisn poets can

THE LARGEST WATCH.
Bnilt Like the Pocket Timepiece at
a Cost of Thousands of Dollpra.
Boaton Transcript.
Therfi has iunt been finished at the Amer
ican Waltham watch factory a mammoth
watch, the largest in the world. To build
this gigantic timepiece cost several thou
sand dollars and several weeks' time. Spe
cial machinery and tools, were required for
Its construction. The watch is a model of
tho new naodel slxteen-slze maxlmus,
three-quarter plate watch, enlarged 10
times, perfect In every detail, and as high
ly finished as the finest watch.
The diameter of the pillar plate Is 17
Inches, and the movement is 2& Inches
thick. The balance wheel Is 6 Inches In
diameter, and the brequet spring, which
controls Its action. Is eight feet long. .OS
of a centlmenter thick and .23ofa centi
meter wide. When running the balance
makes a vibration in .7 of a second. The
pallet stones are of sapphire and exquis
itely polished. The actuating, or main
spring, is 23 feet loug, .17 of a centimeter
thick and 2.9 centimeters wide.
The mammoth model Is as completely
jeweled as a watch of the finest grade.
The plate jewels, which are as large as
the smallest movement made, or aDout tne
size of a nickel 3-cent piece, are fine
rubles, about 10 lines In diameter, but
bushed with sapphires. The polish of the
wheels, pinions and other steel work is
perfect, and the damaskeening on
the plates Is most beautiful. The
pendant and winding crown are
of t fine bronze, brilliantly polished.

Benefit of Reading Alond.
San Francisco Bulletin.
-An exercise which Is too much neglect

well for every person to make a prac
tice of reading 'aloud for a brief while
each day.
In silent reading we miss a"-good. deal of

pages as swift Camilla skims o'er the un
bending grain. Theslght 13 too quick for

GRANNY DID IT.
Knew the Food That Furnished
Power.
A grandmother, by studying the proper
selection of food, cured herself of stomach
trouble and severe headaches. Later on
she was able to - save her little grand
daughter because of her knowledge of
food. .
She says: "When baby was 5 months
old she was weaned because of the seVere
Illness of her mother. She was put on a
prepared baby food, but soon lost flesh
and color, became hollow-eyed and fret
ful. We changed her food several times
but with no permanent benefit. At last
her stomach rebelled entirely and threw
up nearly everything she took. She would
be wet with, a cold perspiration after
feeding and would cry pltcously with
pain. Thi3 is a dangerous condition for
a small baby, and In this extremity I re
membered how beautifully Grape-Nuts
had agreed with me, and suggested we
try the food for baby.
"We began very carefully with it. giv
ing two small teaspoonfuls at a feeding,
softened with boiling water and fed in
sterilized milk, warmed. The experiment
was a perfect success.
"She his been on the food fivo weeks
and can now eat other food, for the
change In this brief time Is wonderful.
She has gained over three pounds In
weight, has rosy cheeks, bright eyes, and
she has the appearance of a satisfactor
ily nourished and thriving child."
The reason that Grape-Nuts will agree
with adults and babies is that the starch
of the cereals has been transformed Into
grape sugar In the process of manufac
ture, and when Introduced Into the stom
ach It is ready for immediate assimila
tion and docs not tax the powers of the
organs of digestion. The result Is always
beneficial and the food has saved thou
sands of lives.

slowly andhave time to digest the Ideas
which we take in. We give thought to our
book and exert our brains more than
we do in silent reading.
A very excellent practice is for two
people to dike turns reading to each other.
The listener thus acquires a habit of. giv
ing strict attention to what Is being said.
So accustomed are wo to seeing the type
when reading that It Is at first rather
difficult to. follow one reading aloud for
more than a few minutes'.
Another benefit of reading aloud is the
elocutionary training that it gives. By
rcading aloud one learns to control and
modulate his voice when speaking, to give
the proper inflections, to make perfect
and wel-balanced sentences, to employ a
good diction and to express himself clear
ly, forcibly and accurately in ordinary
conversation.
THE ART OF CAMPING.
Still Required in Making Beds of
Green Pine Boughs.
Martha Coman In the Outlook.
Rubber mattresses are good and sleep
ing bags are excellent, but in all my ex
periences as a camper I have found noth
ing so satisfactory cr so comfortable as
the bed built of fresh pine boughs. When
these beds are carefully constructed there
Isn't, to my mind, i hair mattress In the
universe that can compare with this prim-
ltlve but dellclously comfortable affair.
If you are stopping only two or threo
nights in one spot, and then going on In
your search for game or for scenery,
your guide will not take the trouble to
make your bed in a very thorough man-
ner. He will simply heap up some fresh-
ly cut pine boughs and arrange them
with the soft green needles for the top
layer of the bed. The truly satisfactory
bed of pine boughs requires some time
and some skill to construct, and not
every guide who Inhabits the Quebec or
Aroostook pine jungles knows how or Is
willing to bother with making one prop
erly. In the llr3t place, long logs are cut
for the length of the bed. and shorter
ones are put across the ends.
Into this low box are pllcd,fcfirst, large,
freshly hewn boughs to build the bed up
to the height of the box sides. On top
of these boughs softer ones are laid, with
the new green parts on top to form a
covering ' for the springy moss. When
plenty of the soft green needles are put
over the other boughs you have a bed
thit is at once dellclously soft and com
fortable. The best part of it is that the
aromatic pine balsam Is a romedj- in
Itself, and the elasticity of the bed lasts
for days.

Accomplishment of Age.
Harper's Weekly.
For the sober encouragement of people
who have reached later middle age. a fa
mous correspondent of the British Week
ly has written a letter presenting exam
ples of great deeds accomplished after
the half-century mark has been reached.
He mentions Lincoln, who became Presi
dent at 52: Milton, who published "Para
dise Lost" at 53; Handel, who began his
orations at 55; Samuel Johnson, who
wrote his "Lives of the Poets" at C3;
Samuel Richardson, who attained success
after 50; and eo on through a cheerful
compilation of similar optimistic evidence.
This is pleasant reading for young and
old: for the young because It confirms
their own trust In the future; for their
elders because It renews a Tiope that
maybe was about to lose a shadi of its
glow and warmth. To the latter It re
calls the Inspiring example of the old gen
tleman who studied HIndostanee at the
age of SO. and the. old lady of 70 who
took up fine embroidery because her eyes
had begun to fall and she wished to exer
cise them.
