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

,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

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.

for Hayes."

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.

, '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

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.

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

PLANS FOR LABOR DAY
ANNUAL PARADE IX. THE MORSING
AT 1030.
Sports at Multnomah Field in the
Afternoon and a Ball in the
' Evening.
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.'
