THE MORNING OREGONIAN. THURSDAY, 'AUGUST 14, 1002. A TRUST FOR LABOR C. F. Keller Proposes a $10,000,000 Combine. HE BACKS THE UNDER DO Jitter Falling in a BrooU Farm Pro ject, tlie Ex-Labor Asitator and Grecnbackcr Launches a. Xew Scheme. . The organizer of the People's Home Building, Employment & Investment Association sat in tho steaming in ferior of a big tent on the corner of Seventh and Everett yesterday, talking to several interested workmen. Mr. C. F. Keller Is a hale and prosperous-look ing man of genial countenance. His blue cyea steadied Into seriousness when no eummed up his mission. "I am backing the under dog," ho said. And 'his whole j3Ife has been consistently tending toward jils present attitude. ' C. F. Keller was born In Lock Haven, id town In the very center of the manu facturing section of Pennsylvania. His father was a butcher, and this trade young Keller learned thoroughly. His education be received from the public schools and from "rubbing up against .people," aB he put it. A Civil War Veteran. "in 1SG4. in the month of February, iATr. Keller continued. "I Joined the ififlventh. Pennsylvania Cavalry. That I have to confess was more of a frolic .than anything else, but I served tnrougn (the -war. Then I went to California by fwav of the isthmus, landing in San Fran cisco in 1SGG. The first thing I did after !I got off the steamer was to buy four glasses of beer, and for that beer I paid a ?1 greenbaoK. xnai sausneu my imiau hrhen I went directly to San Bernardino, the worst nlace in the state, it was aD 'eolutely without ready cash, for the I store-check system was in vogue. I took a contract for building a "sawmill dam :-and with the money went to Los Angeles land. tried to operate a brewery, siy 311 had the experience and I put up .Jjo money. "When my partner had got Unv S1O0O. which was pretty soon. I left ,that business. In those days I was a I red-hot Republican none hotter, why, I (cast my first vote for Abe Lincoln at the dee of 18. "Well, after I lost the money in the beer business I went to ranching in Santa tBarbara, and in 1S70 and 1871 that was rfrood business. It was all borne consump tion, and I got as high as 3 cents a pound for my barley. Then I tried Rus sian River until the Spring 01 wt. vy that time I was married and so went hack to the Centennial and spent a year In old Pennsylvania. "Here it was," Mr. Keller asserted, ,'that I got my first eye-opener. It was the time of the Tllaen-Hayes campaign. end I never in all my life saw business more stagnant. The railroad employes were working in four-hour shifts at half the usual pay. I figured that the laborer should not be affected by political conai tions to that extent, and I saw that the capitalists were using their influence to alter market conditions by political movrmente. Why, Clinton County, wner.'! I was born and raised, could not even pay the state tax. I wouldn't have taken the biggest farm in the 6tate to stay. wasn't clear awake, though, for I voted for Hayes." 2V"ext a Greenbncker. After this he returned to California and lound that '77 was a dry year in the Bower part of the state. So he went to Eureka. His experience, while lnstruc tlve, Mr. Keller considered anything But pleasant. "When we were within hailing distance of the wharf the jam of men on -It yelled with all their lungs. Tresh fish!' The poor devils had come just as I had and were stranded there without a cent. Those that could went back, but I'm not 'that kind. I bought land and ranched it Irom '77 to '79. Then I returned to the town of Eureka and opened a meat '.market. During this time my ideas took 'phape. I read Henry George's 'Progress and Poverty.' I began to agitate. worked under the Liberal League, though , 'we changed the war cry from opposi tion to religion to greenbacks. Yes, sir. -I was a Greenbacker. Now. in those dars, jEDenls Kearney and the sandlotters were (advocating Chinese exclusion. I never did believe in that sort of business, and . 'don't now. What I work for is the en franchisement of labor. It's not the man that is at fault, but tho system. I helped ;organlze the International Workman's League. Among the San Francisco ; unions that I organized were the tin lEmltus, the plumbers and the sailors." Ill BrooTc Farm Project. At this time Mr. Keller also tried the ' scheme that was tried before in the fa mous Brook Farm, immortalized by Em- ,crson and Hawthorne. He described this attempt with a good deal of feeling against tho forces that rendered it abor tive. "It was a sort of commune," he I remarked, reminlscently. "I had dlscov ered and surveyed a forest out In Tulare .County. Fifty-six of us started the Kaweah Colony. Kaweah means 'here w rest' We took up a quarter-section of i land and worked it with the Idea of dl tvldlng the proceeds equally. I was man ', cger of the enterprise, and we. cut timber and built a road IS miles long from the 'valley into our forest Then wo secured rieht of way for two railroads from Tu jlaro City. Tho farmers all promised us $1 an acre for all land within five mllca of the road, and we were just going to I be prosperous. They held a big ratifica tlon meeting full of good California en Ithuslasm. A week after Congress passed an act setting aside our lands for a Na itional park. This dropped our bubble "b.ursted it wide open. We kicked and the eoldleis put us off 'the place. This was in 1SS8, and the case is still hanslng fire In Congress. "When we were run out of Kaweah we accepted the invitation of the Govern jnent Land Office and took up homesteads We spent $20,000 on improvements, built a little city and were booming once mor Well, eir, the Southern Pacific one day stepped in and took our whole outfit up as lieu land. You see the railroad gets every other section for so many miles on either side of the right of way, but with the provision that any sections pre viouBly held by good title shall be made up to them out of the next 10 miles. Oura was tho next 10 miles, and while we had our patents from the United States, it did us no good. We were Informed that the United States guaranteed no titles under patents. That decision knocked out 236 settlers, and the only recompense was a paltry $2)0 on each homestead from the Government. I wasn't half so good a Republican after that as I had been be Xore. "In 1S91 I vacated the land and spent a year In San Francisco. I farmed in Contra Cceta three years, in Santa Cruz three years, and ran a bakery In San Jose. Three dry years put all the farm ers in California out at the elbows, and "we came to Oregon. I am living now in Tillamook, which Is a mighty prosperous place. The laborers there are not yet divorced from their tools and they hav no kick coming. ' Xow "Wbrlcs for a Labor Trnst. ! From 1892 until 1S99 Mr. Keller held commission from the Knights of Labor jand was a very active organizer. Now he is promoting tne .reopie s iiome-iJuiiding Employment St Investment Company, hlch Is Incorporated -with a possible capital of J10.000.CKX). "When some surprise was shown at the size of this figure it was explained that it was a trust. To this perfectly satisfactory explanation Mr. Keller kindly ad(cd; "I am a little different crank from the rest. I believe in trustifying labor, in making the labor ing man his own employer. Trusts are a beneficent Institution and the man who tries to fight them Is silly. Labor pays more tribute to the fear of want in life to Insurance, fraternal societies, etc., than would be sufficient to forever put them beyond the need of employing cap ital. Let laborers control their own in dustry, instead of denying the present want for fear of future insecurity." Mr. Keller stated that he had always made his own money, and plenty of it. His whole aim was a selfish one, simply to advance himself, and to do that he had to advanco his fellows. "Self-lntereet rules the world, and were I Morgan I would do precisely what he is doing. I ould pay the same wages ana require the same hours. The only difference ould be that the dividends which are PROPOSES A $10,000,000 LABOR TRUST. C. F. KELLER, yUO IS the unpaid wages of the workman should go to him, the workman." A tremendous megaphone Is part of the stock in trade and a magic lantern is one of theadvertlslng features. THE CASE OF MR. BURRELL "Why He Was Fined Lavr on tne Subject. The case heard August 4 before Munici pal .Tiidce Hotrue. when he lined vauer F. Burrell i5, of which $10 was remitted. charged with having In his possession m this county prairie chickens out of season, has caused some little- discussion among the legal fraternity as to tho law on the subject. A lawyer remarked yesetrday to an Oregonlan man: The law under which Mr. Burrell was fined is not clear. My reading of the laws of 1901 is that the open season for prairie chickens east of the Cascade Mountains, except Wasco County, the place whero Mr. Burrell got the chickens, is from Au gust 15 to November 15, 1903, and there after. This law Is not yet in lorce. in Wasco County the open season Is from August 1 to- October 1C, each year. For the other portions of the state tne open season is from October 1 to December 1 each year, and the limit is 10 birds. The law possibly intended to make the open season in Douglas County September l to December 1, but, to my mind, this section is unintelligible. The language of the act is that It Is 'unlawful ... to hunt. pursue, take, kill. Injure, destroy or have In possession, except for scientific or breeding purposes, or to sell or offer for sale, barter cr exchange.' If the law could bo held to be a violation of tne statute, Mr. Burrell's mistake consisted In bringing the birds from Wasco County to Multnomah County, with the feathers on and the bones In the chickens, Instead of having eaten the cooked chickens. If the chickens had been eaten, I do not see how Mr. Burrell could have been legally liable. As I understand the matter, he did not know that the law was different In this county from that of Wasca County." Shot During: Open Season. PORTLAND, Aug. 13; (To the Editor.) Referring to the article in today's Ore gonian and the issue of August 5, In regard to my having been fined on August 4 for bringing prairie chickens into this county, I trust that If any further reference is made to the matter in your columns, it will be stated that the birds were shot during tho open season in Wasco County, Oregon. I believe I am correct In saying that I am tho first sportsman "who had been prosecuted for bringing game birds Into this county for his own use, which 'had been lawfully killed by him elsewhere in the state. W. F. BURRELL. TO FIGHT OCCUPATION TAX Two Delinquents Pay Up--Otners De cide to Make Test Cane. Many of those who have been delinquent In their occupation taxes hurried to the .il . , r , I V' B others two of those against whom war rants have been sworn out. A number of others have decided to fight the tax, and prove that It Is Illegal. Early yesterday morning E. Bamickle and the California Saw Works people hur ried to the City Hall and paid their tax, fearing every moment that some one would show up with their warrants, that had been sworn out. In addition to these two. many who have not yet -been pro ceeded against paid up yesterday, so that now there is a miich smaller list of de linquents than there was on Tuesday. When seen yesterday by an Oregonian reporter, D. C Burns, the grocer, whoso name was among the first six to be pro ceeded against, said: "We will get together and fight this ordi nance, for It Is not legal. They have no right to tax usMn this manner, and we are going to have a test case and show them that they are In the wrong. The whole thing is a case of discrimination from start to finish." City Attorney McNary says that every day an Installment of six or eight will be taken up and arrested and made to pay up to the city, until the whole list Is gone through with. PORTLAXD-CHICAGO.

Arrangements for the Labor day parade were decided on last night .at a meet ing of the Labor day committee of the Federation of Labor, the more Important recommendations being that the parade will start at some location to be after ward determined at 10:30 o'clock A M., with the field day sports at Multno mah Field at 1:30 o'clock P. M., and a ball In thd evening. . It was suggested that the first event SOW IX PORTLAXD, in the" afternoon's sport be a ball game between nines representing the Feder ated Trades Council and the Building Trades Council, and that the other events consist of: Fat men's race, the contest ants not to weigh less than 225 pounds; ladies' race, wives of union men; ladles' race, members of unions; 100-yard dash; one-mile wheel race, for apprentices; and tug of war for teamdrivers and "long shoremen, $100 a side. It is possible that other athletic events will be determined upon at another meeting. Holders of ball tickets will be admitted to the afternoon's sports, and to the ball In the evening. Women and children will be admitted without charge. It Is considered doubtful if the mem bers of the Barbers' Union can participate largely In the Labor day parade this year. While several of the employers have agreed to close all day and others are willing to close at 10 o'clock A. M., yet there are other employers who state that they wish to keep open until noon, accord ing to the last agreement signed. Even if the shops were closed at 10 o'clock A. M., this would not give the men much time in which to get ready for the parade, which will start at 10:30 o'clock. The sale of Labor day buttons, It was reported. Is progressing satisfactorily, and the preparation of window cards and gen eral advertising matter Is well advanced. SHIPPING PINEAPPLES. Modern Chances in the Methods Em ployed The Florida Crate. New York Sun. In old times all the pineapples that came to this port were brought In the holds of sailing vessels In bulk; and such cargoes are still received here from the Bahamas and some from Cuba, but by far the larger proportion of the pineapples received here now come by steamer, and In some form of package. Those secelved by steamer from outside the United States come prln clpally In barrels. When steam shipments of pineapples were first begun It took five days to bring them from Cuba. Now they are brought In fast ships In two days .and a half. When Florida, a few years ago, began shipping pineapples in large quantities and It ships now very large quantities, with It3 production steadily Increasing it adopted as a shipping package a. crate which, from Its capacity, was called a barrel crate. Florida shippers brought into use later a smaller crate called a half. crate, which to a great extent has super seded the barrel crate, and has now, In fact, become the standard. This crate, which Is something like an elongated or ange box, is about 3V& feet in length, with a cross section of about 12x15 Inches, and. like an orange box, it Is divided into two parts by a partition placed midway of Its length. The spaces between the slats of the crate are sufficient to give ample ventilation. These crates will hold from 10 to 43 pines, In this package every pine is separately wrapped In paper. The number of pines In the package is marked on It, as the number of oranges in a box are marked on It. The crate makes good stowage, of especial importance In rail shipments, t and a good many Florida pineapples are now snippeu Dy ran. n is a pacKage that : Is easy to handle, sightly In appearance and, with Its close sortings, highly mer chantable. Crates are now used to some extent in shipping Cuban pines, with the use of them In that traae Increasing. Number of Pensioners. Washington Dispatch. On July 1 there were S99.44S pensioners on tho rolls. That was the high-water mark, in pensions. This number was reached by a gradual growth, and the best-Informed men about the Pension Office believe that It will not be exceeded. although the last Congress was unprece dented In Its liberality in pension legisla tion. This Is for the reason that the aeatn rate among pensioners Is very great, the deaths being estimated for tho next year at about 40.000. The last Congress passed 1100 special pension bills, and passed two acts which. within 12 months, it is believed, will add 10.030 pensioners to the rolls. One of these acts is to pension the survivors of the Indian Wars, and the other Is to pension those veterans who served in the jCdn federate service prior to their entrance In the Union Army. It is believed by some of the officials at the Pension Office that the liberality of Congress toward pensioners has done much toward lessening the. attacks on the Pension Office, which were formerly of such common occurrence. It Is this Congressional action that has Increased tho net number of pensioners from S9L519, In 1S39. to 959.445 at the end of the last fiscal year, although this peri od tos one in which the .death rate among aged pensioners was very large. The Increase between these two dates was very gradual. From 391.519 in 1899 the number Increased to 993,529 in 1900. to 997, 723 in 190L and to the number before men tioned in 1902. MOVE THE MAIN TANKS. But Let Standard Oil Have Distribu tive Point, Say the Mayor. "I think I will request Mr. Flanders, agent of the Standard Oil Company, to submit a statement in writing of what the company proposes to do, and what privileges they want the City Council to grant." said Mayor Williams yesterday. "This verbal talk don't amount to any thing. I don't know but that I rather favor the Idea of a distributive place at the present location, and the removal of the main tanks, ao has been proposed, to Albino. There would be kept only 40,000 to 50,000 gallons of oil at the distributive point, where are now 500,000 gallons. They will want the city to grant the right to lay pipes from the main tanks, and I suppose there will be no objection to that, as the pipes will be underground." These remarks were made by the Mayor 3'esterday during a conversation with City Auditor pevlln. The Auditor followed by referring to street Improvements. He said the result cf starting improvements' early In the year was now noticeable. The Board of Public Works, at tho meeting Tuesday, accepted 22 streets, the improve ment of which has Just been finished There were seven sewers to make assess ments for at the next Council meeting, and five street Improvements. Tne principal Improvement was that of East Burnslde street, for a distance of a mile. "There never was a time In the history of the city," said Mr. Devlin, "when people paid up so well for street and sewer assessments as they do now Everybody seems to liave a little money.' Tho Mayor answered that there Is a feel lng of pride because of the coming Lewis and Clark Exposition. "People," he said. "want to make the city look as well as possible. Whatever the fair will be. it will have the effect of improving the city.' BIG AMATEUR NIGHT.
