DAVENPORT, Wash., Aug. 1 (Staff
Correspondence.) The greatest aggrega
tion of railroad talent that ever came in-
Davenport '-at 9kGcIockthTB mrirnlntr on
a special ot six cars, and before the
magnates took the back track to Spo
kane in the afternoon they substantially
agreed to make a lower rate on rgraln
to tide-water points.
It was a great day for Davenport and
the Big Bend, but the effect of the as
surances made by the railroad presidents
will reach beyond the confines of Big
Bend and beyond the Snake River for, in
the language of President Mellen, "the
transportation interests of the entire
Northwest are so closely Interwoven that.
like a card-house, when rates tumble in
one part of the country, they must como
down all along the line."
As a reason lor making -the reduction,
Mr. Mellen announced that his company
would at once extend tho Washington
Central from its present terminus, at
Coulee City, to Adrian, on the Great
Iforthern, thus saving a haul of 150 miles.
This announcement created wild enthus
iasm among the large audience of farm
ers which had previously listened to a
very Interesting speech by President
James J. Hill, in which the reduction had
been hinted at only in the faintest pos
sible manner.
The Big Bend is exclusively Hill and
Mellen territory, and for that reason.
President Mohler, of the O. R. & N.,
RAILWAY
k: ;- .... - .... ::,;.. ,v,- --
PfaotoMJr McAlpln
when called on, very aptly announced
that he was a railroad man without a
raUroad, so far as this section was con
cerned. The meeting was very enthus
.iaotic, and the speeches of Ithe three rail
road presidents were gems of the first
water.
The amount of reduction and the time
of Its taking effect will -not be decided
until after the meeting, at Colfax to
morrow. At tho conclusion of the mass-meeting
'this morning, a conference was held be
tween a committee of farmers and the
railroad men. At this conference, both
sides submitted arguments in support. of
their respective claims regarding the
amount of the reduction, and the matter
is under advisement until the rest of the
territory affected shall be heard from.
The special train which came in this
morning after resting all night on a
siding "20 miles west of Spokane, brought
a, 'party which would have attracted at
tention anywhere. President Hill, of the
Great Northern, was accompanied by hl3
son. L. W. Hill. John F. Stevens, gen
eral manager, and ,F. S. Forest, superln-i
tendent of the Spokane Falls & Northern,
With President Mellen were General
Slanager Thomas Cooper,.- Second Vice
President J. M. Hannaford, and Chief
Engineer W. L. Darling. With Presi
dent Mohler, of the O." R. & N., were
R. B. Miller, general, freight agent; J. P.
O'Brien, superintendent, and W. W. Cot
ton, general attorney, while B. Camp
bell, assistant traffic director of the Har
rlman lines, came from Chicago to assist
in taking care of the Harrlman Interests.
The Snave Mr HI1U
Shortly after the arrival of the special,
a train from Spokane brought a delega
tion of business men from, that city, and ;
at 10 o'clock the meeting was called to
order by Chairman James Odgers. In a j
neat speech, the chairman Introduced
James J. Hill, and that eminent "farmer
proceeded to talk his way into tho hearts
of his large audience with an -ease and
grace that would have turned a political
spellbinder green with envy. He talked
of steers and hogs, silos, diversified farm
ing, etc., so entertainingly and intelli
gently that at times his audience was in
doubt as to whether he shone brightest
as a farmer, railroader or orator. Mr.
Hill stated that when he first saw the
Big Bend country, as well as other por
tions of Eastern Washington, he regard
ed It very lightly as qn asset for a rail
road company, and "at . that time never
expected to live to see It produce one-half
of tho wheat It was" now turning off.
He paid a high tribute to the farmers,
and said that they had at all times been
the one saving element of our civiliza
tion. He regarded the farmers and the
railroads as partners In a business where
it was Impossible for one to prosper "with
out the -other. He made a droll allusion
to the apparent dissatisfaction which
was being mildly expressed by the farm
ing partner over tho manner In which
the railroads were conducted, and to get
to raise hogs and cattle, and find some
thing to occupy their minds when they
were not raising wheat.
Mr. Hill stated as an Incontrovertible
fact that the rate on wheat from Wash
ington points to tide-water was lower
than the rate from Iowa to Chicago for
the distances, while Iowa produced 10
times as much for traffic for the rail
roads as was produced In Washington.
The profit on wheat-hauling in this state,
according to Mr. Hill, is but 30 'cents per
ton per 100 miles, and he followed this
with the declaration that If the railroads
would haul the wheat for nothing, tho
farmer would get no more than he is
receiving at the present time, as tho
buyer bought the wheat at Interior points
and paid the freight. In proof- of this,
he said that If he made a free' rate on
lumber from Puget Sound to Davenport
the Puget Sound mills would not receive
any more for the lumber than they get
now, as the farmer who bought It would
take It away from the mills and load It
on the cars himself.
As a remedy for unsatisfactory prices
for wheat, Mr. Hill spoke upon the hobby
which has made him famous, and urged
the farmers to seek new markets and

SHENANDOAH. Pa.. Aug. 4. "While the
'situation In this region Is calm, the troops
encamped here showed more activity to
day than they have on any day since they
were ordered to Shenandoah. The greater
part of the vigilance was due to the fact
that the funeral of Joseph Bcddall. who
died us a result of injuries received' in
Wednesday's riot, cook place today. Bed
dall was a brother of Deputy Sheriff Bcd
dall. who was one of the principal figures
in the fight. -and a nephew of Sheriff Bcd
dall. These men attended the funeral,
and in consequence there were many ru
mors floating that they would be at
tacked. These storks reached brigade
headquarters, and General Gobln decided
lo take every precaution possible to pre
vent any" untoward Incidents while the fu
neral was being held without too great a
display of military force.
A platoon of the Governor's troops was
stationed in one of the town's principal
streets near headquarters, and one bat
talion of Infantry of the Twelfth Regiment
was held in readiness in camp to march
on short notice. The funeral services,
were held at Ayilllam Penn, a mile from
here. The body was escorted by th
Shenanaoah lodge of the Masonic order
to Shenandoah and through the principal
streets to the cemetery, which Is situated
on a mountain north of the city. A crowd
lined the streets, the majority of the peo
ple being striking mlneworkers. Nothing
occurred to disturb the funeral, and after
It was over the platoon of cavalry was
withdrawn from the town.
Company H, of the Twelfth Regiment,
was placrd on duty at -the Indian Ridge
Colliery of the Philadelphia & Reading
Coal & Iron Company, near the foreign
headquarters. This was done, so that the
town Constable could be assisted In case
he was attacked while making arrests of
persons who were In last week's riot. Tho
services, of the soldiers, however, were not
needed. ;
Rumors of resumption of work In this
territory are stiil In circulation, but there
Is nothing to Indicate that these reports
have any foundation whatever. There are
in the Shenandoah district nine collieries
operated by the Philadelphia & Reading,
Company, which formerly employed 12,000
men, and six collieries owned by the Le
high Valley Coal & Iron Company, which
employed 3000 mlneworkers. Besides'; ther

to place a mine in operation it is Compelled,
by law to notify the mine inspector of the
district in which it is located, so that he
can make an inspection to see whether it
is safe to permit men to enter it. Up. to
this time, he said, he had not received the
slightest intimation that the companies
are about to resume work.
The Eighth Regiment had another call
to arms last night. The pickets in the
vicinity of the stable saw a .man stealthily
approaching the horses, and he was com
manded to stop. He probably did not see
the sentry, because the Instant he heard
the soldier's command the prowler turned
and fled down the side of the hill. Three
bullets were sent after him. but he es
caped. The sentry on the next post also
saw a .man running In the darkness, and
he, too, fired at the fleeing figuvev The
sound of the shooting aroused tho'guard
and the bugle call to arms was Imme
diately sounded. The whole regiment was
quickly In line, and Company H was sent
out to Investigate, but the mysterious per
son had disappeared.
After that the men were not again dis
turbed. Colonel Hoffman Is, of the opinion
that the intruders were about to make an
attack on the horses by hamstringing
them or otherwise injuring them so as to
make the animals useless.
The camp today was quiet. Both regi
ments were, put through drill and other
camp routine. The commands have been
indulging In some test maneuvers. The

today.

in readiness for instant marching. .Com

WON'T ACCEPT REDUCTION".
Tlnplcte Workers Stand hy Wales
Brethren.
PITTSBURG. Aug. . The proposition
made by the American Tinplate Company,
to Its employes that they accept a reduc
tion In wages of 25 per cent has been re
jected. The vote, which has been In
progress for several weeks', was tabulated
today. The proposition was thoroughly
understood by the workers, it having been
explained that in order to secure for
eign trade and a big contract with the
Standard Oil Company, amounting to
about 1,300,000 boxes, the general wage re
.ductloh would not be more than per
cent, and that the production would be In
creased fully 16 per cent, which would
increase the earnings of the workers
about 12Hs per cent. It Is expected that
while the majority of the men would work
at a slight reduction in order to secure
more employment, most of them are
friendly to their fellow workmen across
the ocean. If the proposition had been
accepted the tinplate workers in Wales
would be deprived Of employment. Thla
fact influenced many to vote against ac
cepting the offer.
The American Tinplate Company will
now be unable to secure this Increased
business, and as stocks are large, it will
close a number of its plants. The larg

Ilend of American Federation and

on Union Principles.
"We want more, we demand more,
and when we set that more, we shall
Insist upon again- more and more and
even more, until we get the full frui
tion of our labor."
"One-of the most foolish, 1 may say
dangerous, proposals for obviating la
bor troubles la the proposal for com
pulaory arbitration. Working people
will never surrender their rleht of de
termining for themselves whether they
will serve a particular employer or
not."
These were the striking exprefsions of
Samuel Gomners. nresident of th Amerl-
(can Federation of Labor. He delivered
tnem with telling effect, and they won
the applause of 1200 people assembled last
night in Cordray's Theater.
It was a great .mass meeting of work
ing people, men and women, where union
principles, rights, privileges", and ambi
tions ehone forth In a splendor never
before seen In Portland. IVery person
who heard the arguments wrought out
upon the stage before him. felt the far

which is directing the destines of the

The RIsht to Combine'.
"What Is your city but a union of men
and women surrendering a portion of
their rights and privileges In order that
the great good of all may be conserved?"
declared Mr. Gompers. "What is your
state but a greater union? and what la
the United States but a vast union?" -
G. Y. Harry, president of the Oregon
State Federation of Labor, presided. On
his right hand was ilr. Gompers, and on
his left Max Morris, fourth vice-president
of the American Federation of Labor
and secretary-treasurer of the Retail
Clerks" International Union, and W D.
Mahon, International president of the
Amalgamated Areociation of Street-car
Employes of America. The last two men
made winning speeches, especially Mr.
Mahon. who swayed the audience hardly
less than did Mr. Gompers.

were: Charles Mlckley. president of the

Gompers Orntorlcnl Poivers.
Mr. Gompers may be characterized as a
speaker of strong oratorical powers. Ho
has a gift of terse, pithy, epigrammatic
expression when drawing conclusions from
hi3 Incidents, and pictures of common
workday life. His intonation and gesture
come In a manner which reflects long
training as a speaker. His shifts, his
transitions come with enlivening effect
upon hi3 hearers. He is not a big man; in
fact, he might be classed as a little giant.
But he has a large, full-rounding head
set upon a strong jaw, bright eyes, set
under a beetling brow, that flash In his
climaxes, a firm mouth, and withal a. -benevolent
Intellectual expression of face,
through which shines the light of a sym
pathetic nature and a thoughtful mind.
Mr. Gompers applied himself first at
meeting the charges of evil that are
brousht against labor unionism. These
he refuted to the entire satisfaction 6f his
hearers. Then he spoke in general of
the widespread -tendency In all lines of
effort toward organization. He declared
that labor organizations would keep on
demanding more and more until they ac
quired the full fruition" of their labor.
Rlprht to Products of Labor.
"I know of no class of people entitled
to more of the. products of labor than
those people who produce the wealth of
the world," he asserted. He laid down
the principle that workingmen have the
same right to set a price upon their labor
and demand It as has the person who ha3
anything to sell.
"Organized labor does not stand for
strikes," he declared. He delivered him
self in strong terms against compulsory
arbitration, "for." said he. "as soon as
Government steps In and says yqu shall
arbitrate,' and directs for whom you shall
work, then confiscation of property has
fct in; then slavery has been re-eatab-llshed."
