Kahlo, special 'representative. o' -the- Na4 tional Association of Manufacturers. Thel vIVwi uuius up inacruie as the,, precept of the organization. ,of ' which David M. Parry, of Indianapolis, Is chief. "Whatsoever ye would that men- should do to you, do you even so to them," said the Colonel at the Portland Hotel 'yesteri day. "Thats old doctrine. It's good doci trine, too. It means equal rights to all, union or nonunion, special privileges to none. It means 'full pay for a ..day's labor, not forMhe man but for what he can do. "The doctrine means peace to Industry, security to life, ' respect', for your neigh Dor's life, his home, his children and his -wife in short, liberty Instead of tvrainnv. law and order Instead of. anarchy, theJ' privilege of selling one's : labor In the! ' market for the best price It will bring, whether he belongs to a union or not "On Labor day" In Chicago a man drove his family in his own wagon to see the parade. A gang of union teamsters set upon him because he could show no union card. The rowdies tumbled his 'family Into the street, made his horses run away, wrecked his wagon and all but beat him to death. "Was that justice? "Was It fair play? I could cite hundreds of such out rages." He Ponght for the Union. Colonel Kahlo will spend a week or more In Portland encouraging local manufactur ers to Join the National Association. Like a Kentucky Colonel he looks, with his up right carriage, his silver mustaches and his military air. But he's not from the blue-grass state. Instead, he halls from Indiana. Born In Prussia, he carries the Teutonic cast of countenance. Kindly blue eyes look out irom beneath eyebrows which are turning gray to match the whiteness of his hair. The Colonel would seem to be near the three-score milestone of life's journey. Well preserved and sprightly, he still finds pleasure in the avocations 'from which many men find themselves barred at hlsyears. The Colonel Is Assistant Adjutant-General of the Indiana militia and is an ex member of the Indiana Senate, the only Republican that has ever been sent to that body from Logansport, on the banks of the Wabash. At one time he was president of the Logansport Manufactur ing Company, manufacturers of vehicle supplies. "Though a native of Prussia," he re marked, "I am a thorough American. I fought for the Union in the Civil War and stayed in the fight from the beginning to the end. See this button?" and the Colonel exhibited the emblem of the Loyal Legion. Personal Liberty Above Unions. "I am a loyal American. I stand for fair play. I hold the obligation qf citizenship higher than any obligation 6,f unionism. I regard personal liberty as the most sacred heritage of any citizen. ' By that heritage he is free to work for whomsoever he pleases, at whatever wages he can get without being beaten, maimed, killed or ostracised by any body of fellow-men who group themselves into a union, misname themselves Americans and make a farce of American justice and fair play. "I wish to get 12 or 15 new members in your city. The foremost manufacturers ore the ones whom I desire to join. I do not expect to accomplish much this week. You see, tomorrow Is a half-holiday, and I shan't find many men at their places of business. Today I called on several leading manufacturers, among them Mr. Poulsen, of Inmail, Poulsen & Co., and Mr. Ball, of the Willamette Iron &. Steel Works, to whom I carried letters of In troduction." He Brands n Falsehood. Colonel Kahlo brands as entirely false the dispatch which was sent yesterday from San Francisco and which said he had collected $50 from each of 137 new members. "It's all a lie," he declared vigorously. "Not 137 companies Joined the association in San Francisco, but 45. Here is the actual list," and the Colonel pro duced the names from his inside pocket uhey were: Buckingham & Hecht, California Barrel Company, California Glue Works, Califor nia Powder Works, W. P. Fuller & Co.. W. T. Garratt & Co., Gladding, McBean & Co., Holbrook, Merrttl & Stetson, the Holmes Lime Company, Tubbs Cordage Company, Union Iron Works, National Iron Works, Ames & Harris, California wire Association, Heywpod Brothers & Wakefield Company; Hobbs, Wall & Co.. Hammond Lumber Company, California Fruit Canners Association, White Star Laundry Company. Judson Manufacturing Company, Jordan Dynamite & Powder Company, the Charles Nelson Company, Columbia .aiarme company, Benlcla Acri cultural Works, Pel ton Water Wheel Com pany.

Warren & Co., McKay & Co Benson Investment Company, C. A. Hooper & Co., and Illinois-Pacific Glass Company. "That," resumed the Colonel, is a pret ty good list, isn't It?" and then he ad verted to the report that he had collected J 50 from each of the new members. "I Qion i coiiect a single cent, xvor were there any checks made out to me. but to F. H. Stlllman, of .the Watson-Stlllman Company, of New York, who is treasurer. "Do I get 40 per cent of the collections. as announcod by the San Francisco dls patch?" The Colonel laughtcd disdain fully. "Wish I did. I'd be making a pile of money. See this little'hook? It con tains the names of 2300 members, and 400 will be added to th next issue. Wouldn't I be getting rich if I made 40 ner, cent? "But I solicit money from nobody. That "would not accord with the dignity of my position. If I may use the word. Members pay dues to the treasurer when they get ready. We don't ask them to pay, for we take it for granted that it Is their in terest to sustain the association. Opposes Only Evils of Unionism. "Understand that we oppose not unions but their lawless acts, their unfair meth ods, their intimidation, their violence, their tyranny. We commend them for the good they accomplish within the law, we condemn them for -their Injustice and lawlessness. "Recently I was in Des Moines on a street-car. Somebody told a. mechanic who I was. He came up to me. 'I'm glad,' he said, 'that your association is growing. I work in a nonunion shop, though . I'm a member of the union. I do so because I earn 25 cents more.' "I was on a street-car In Cincinnati. Somebody in a harsh voice demanded 50 cents from the motorman. The money was paid. That s for the union, growled the-motorman, 'but they come .too. of ten.' "I come upon such cases everywhere. I : - V -'. . t i, mm . sw - tell you there lslmore sympathy with our cause, even in the unions, than many peo ple "know. And it's only a few months since our cause was launched. Parry'?, the man who did it. He's the head of the new movement." Parry the Employers' Lender. The Colonel described Parry as an "ex traordinary man in mental vigor, though not in outward appearance"; of average stature, blunt in speech and unreserved, having few arts of diplomacy; kind-hearted, a good father, and considerate of his employes. As president of the Parry Man ufacturing Company he heads one of the biggest vehicle factories in the world. "The unions have never organized among Parry's employes," said' the Colo nel, "and they won't. PaVry will shut down the factory If the unions get In. "Oh, he means what he says. Organizers of industry all over the United States ore coming to his views. Already wo hear of a great combination of builders to stop work if unions won't stop their demands. It's coming to a point where ' employers will sit down on their capital if they can not use It as they wish." Organized Like Unions. "Labor unions are organized Into state. National and international bodies," went on the Colonel. "But employers have no such organization. However, the relation will be more evened up. Our organization will not be Just like that of employes, but It will be similar. Its purposes will be to protect individual liberty, to -prevent law lessness and to resist unreasonable exac tions of labor. Here's our decalogue: 'Declaration, of Principles. Fair dealing is the fundamental and basic principle on which relations between em ployes and employers should rest. . The National Association of Manutap turers is not opposed to organizations of la bor as such, but It Is unalterably opposed to boycotts, blacklists 'and other Illegal acts of Interference -with the personal liberty o employer or employe. No person should be refused employment or In any way discriminated against on ac count of membership or non-membership In any labor organization, and there: should be no discrimination against or Interference with any employe who is not a member of a labor organization by members of such or ganizations. With due regard to contracts. It 13 the right of the employe to leave his employ ment whenever he sees fit, and It Is tho right of the employer to discharge any em ploye flien he sees flL. Employers must be free tp' employ - tlieir work people at wages mutuailyjsatlsiactbry, without Interference or dictation on tho part of Individuals or organizations not. di rectly parties to such contracts. Employers must be unmolested and un hampered In the management of their busi ness, in determining the amount .and qual ity of their product, and In the use of any methods or systems of pay "which -aro Just and equitable. - In the Interest of employes and employers of the country, no ' limitation' should he placed upon the opportunities of any person to learn any trade to "which he or Bho may be adapted. Tho National Association, of; Manufac turers disapproves absolutely of strikes and lockouts, and favors an equitable adjust ment of all differences between employers and employes by any amicable method- that will preserve tho rights of both parties. The National Association of Manufac turers pledges itself to oppose -any. and. all legislation not in accord with the foregoing declaration. "Will Admit All. Employ era. "These principles are fair. No good man can deny them. Many employers : have framed them and hung them on the wall. Many have also embodied them In their contracts with unions." Colonel Kahlo said that Mr. Parry. was sending his children to Europe, whether to-be safe from assault -nr-kldhaplnir by unions he did not knotv. "There's W doubt," he remarked, "that unions woiiid find pleasure In the annihilation of him and his family." , ' Today the oxecutlve committee of the association will meet at New York- to consider amending -the constitution so that all employers may become members. "Membership Is now limited to manufac turers," said the Colonel. "But there are thousands of other employers, such as bankers and merchants, who would be' glad to come into the organization. "That oath of 'the Typographical Union a good citizen cannot take. It- puts- the union first, above all other organizations, social, political or religious. That's down-i.

The President says he won't allow the laws of any union to override the laws of ftie United States, which It Is his sworn duty to enforce. "How do I pronounce my name? No, not 'Kaylo,' but 'Kawlo,' It's German, you know," and the Colonel went to dinner. UNITED STATES SPEAKS UP Root, Lodge nnd Turner Question Canada in Aluska'Bouiwlnry Case. LONDON, Sept. IS. When the Alaskan Boundary Commission resumed its ses sions today, Attorney-General Flnlay was subjected by War Secretary Root and Sen ators Turner and Lodge, to a fire of ques tions In connection with his attempt to show that the boundary should run from the head of the Portland Canal directly westward to tho point where the moun tains, claimed by the Canadians as the boundary, intersect the 56th parallel of latitude. The contention of the United States is that tho boundary continues up to Bear River "Valley from the head of Portland Canal to tho 66th. parallel. In this connection Mr. Root called the Attorney-General's attention to the fact that Vancouver referred to Marseley Pass as the head of the canal, and asked If It was not natural to suuDose that the signatories of the treaty intended to follow the pass of the 56th degree. The AttorneGeneral replied that the line under the treaty could not run far ther than the water canal, and from that point must seek the mountains at the 56th parallel. Senator Lodge suggested that this would mean that the line must cross the moun tains to. reach those points described in the Canadian case, which the Attorney General evaded touching upon. The Attorney-General passed during tho afternoon to the discussion of the loca tion o fthe line from the 56th parallel to Mount St Ellas, asserting that If the contention of the United States that the boundary should go around the heads of Inlets was admitted, then corresponding ly, Canada should gain by the tribunal deciding . that the line should follow ten marine leagues from the shores of Penin sulas. Judge J. M. Dickinson of American counsel said the United States was con tending only for the heads of Inlets and not beyond, the Attorney-General hav ing raised the point that the American claim for tidewater as tho boundary might "put the boundary far into the in terior of Canada. AMERICA MAKES PROTEST Santo Domingo Is "Warned, Against Making Ports Free. SANTO DOMINGoT Republic of Santo Domingo, Sept. 18. United States Minis ter Powell has sent a strong protest to the Dominican government based on the following grounds: That the action of the Dominican gov ernment in sending to Congress a project for and being the neutrality of Domini can waters and make certain ports free, would not, in view of the fact "that Santo Domingo is an independent state, be accepted in a friendly spirit by tho United States; that 'the United States Government would not allow the estab lishment of any coaling ports 'in Santo Domingo or the cessation of any portion of Santo Domingo territory to any Euro pean power; that the United States will not permit any nation to make exclusive use of Dominican waters In time of peace, much less in time of war. Nor could the United States allow. any portion of Dom inican territory to be classed as neutral nor permit any portion of the country to" conflict with the concession granted to the Clyde Line, according to which all .vessels arriving from foreign ports are compelled to pay port duties, excepting "the Clyde steamers. .

Until Supremo Court Decides, Asses sors "Will Not Feel Safe in Levying: Taxes for 1004. A suit to have determined the question whether a levy for taxes on the assess ment for the year 1903 can be made in January, 1904, was filed in the State Cir cuit Court yesterday by Williams, Wood & Linthlcum, attorneys for Maria L. "Flan ders. As has been previously stated in the col umns of The Oregonlan, a tax law passed at the last session of the Legislature takes effect on January 1, 1904, providing that tne tax levy shall be made In September. The assessment for 1903, now in course of completion In various counties throughout the state Is being made under tho old law, which provides that the tax levy shall bo made In January next. Now the ques tion is, as the new law takes effect on January 1. 1904. and saVs the next tax Revy shall be made the following Septem ner, can tne levy on the assessment for the year 19C3 be legally made In Janu ary, 1904, after the new law providing for a levy in September, 1904, Is In operation? The various assessors in the state are assessing property atva considerable ex pense for clerk hire, etc, and It Is nec essary to ascertain by a decision of the Supreme Court If the work is to be of no avail, and it Is also Important to know If taxes can be collected for the year 1903, otherwise from January until October, 1904, all the counties in the state will be out of funds. It wouldhot do to take the chances and make the levy In January without first having had a legal adjudication of the question, because. If this were done, suits might be instituted after the levy to en Join the collection of the taxes. Conse quently this suit Is brought now, and a decision from the higher court can easily bo secured before January next. The defendants named are the members of tho County Court, Assessor McDonell. County Clerk Fields and County Auditor Brandes. The complaint asks that tho Assessor be enjoined from completing tho assessment, and. the County Court from making the levy next January. This raises tho Issues. The complaint will propably be demurred to and arguments then made by counsel as to the application of tho new law to the assessment for the year 1W3. Dastardly Attempt at Butte. BUTTE, Mont, Sept 18. That six men were not seriously injured or perhaps killed, just outside the city limits last night, was not the fault of some cowardly persons who placed a quantity of cxdIo- slves on the street railway 'track about 300 yards cast of the Northern Pacific crossing, badly wrecking car No. 25. which was onvits way In from Columbia Gardens. Fortunately no one was in jured, the passengers and street-car em ployes escaping with a number ef bruises, though the car -was wrecked, only after a halr-ralslng experience that they win not rorget as long as they live.

Dimness of vision and weak eyes, cured bv Murine Eye Remedies. A home cure for Thero is a Chinaman In the custody of the Federal authorities who will wish he had assumed the - name of any other Chinaman than Jin Fung by the time the Government is through with him. He is between "the horns of a dilemma and, whichever horn he finally chooses to Im pale himself on, he will be taken off It to be transported to China. There are two other Chinamen in about the same predic-. ament and, despite the vigorous fight their lawyers are -making, their chances of re turning to the land of Tsl An are un commonly bright These are three of the Chinamen who were arrested on their' return from one of the Alaska canneries for Investigation of their right to dwell In. the United States. They, like many of their fellow-countrymen, have discovered .a loophole. In the exclusion law .through which they were endeavoring to crawl when they were caught It Is the custom, when an American-born Chinaman returns from a visit to his native land, to detain him until he proves his rights as a native of hte United States. He applies for a writ of habeas corpus and then his friends and relatives come up and swear on the bleeding head of a decapitated chicken that he is Mell-can-born. Then the United States Com missioner discharges him and he Is free to remain unless the decision should be reversed on appeal. On paying tho re quired fee, he can obtain a certified copy of the .order for his discharge, which proves his right to be In the country. This is where tho loopholo In the law was discovered. Any person, white or Chi nese, can obtain a certified copy Of the same record on paying the fee. Tho law does not require a photograph of the Chinaman In question to be attached to tho copy of the record, so that any Mon golian when challenged, can produce such copy and say that he is tho man to whom it refers. In the absence of any evidence of his Identity, this statement cannot be gainsaid. Accordingly, when a contraband China man arrives in this country, he Is provid ed by hlsconfederates with a certified copy .of theNdlscharge on writ of habeas corpus of some other Chinaman and he holds this document as evidence of his legal resldonce in the United States. The real Jin Fung was arrested as a contraband, but was discharged by Judge Bellinger on the ground that he was merchant District Attorney John Hall took an appeal to the United States Cir cult Court of Appeals, which reversed tho decision and ordered the deportation of Jin Fung. But he could not be found and is probably still a dweller In this land. trusting to the order of discharge to avoid deportation and Ignorant of the reversal of the decree. As the mandate of the Court of Appeals does not appear on the record of the Dis trlct Court, the order of discharge ap peared to still hold good and thus the bogus Jin Fung fell Into the trap. He ob talned a certified copy of this record and trusted to it to secure him Immunity from deportation. That he is an Impostor Mr. Hall is positive, for he remembers tho real Jin Fung as a big man. with deep pock marks on his face, while tho bogus Jin Fung Is a small man of totally different appearance. In order to fully dispose of the Impostor, Mr. Hall has sent for copy of tho mandate of tho Court of Ap peals and meanwhile the case has been continued by United States Commissioner Sladen until next Friday. When this document arrives, an unpleas-. ant surprise will be sprung on the Im personator. If ho still insists that he is Jin Fung, he will have to take tha wor thy's place on a steamer bound for China. If he admits that he is not Jin Fung, .then he will admit he is a contraband and an order of deportation Is inevitable. Whichever course he takes will take him back to China. Three other Chinamen were before Com missioner Sladen yesterday on the charge of being Illegally ln-tho United States, all being In possession of certified copies of orders of discharge glve'n to Wong Gee, Wong Nang and Ah Ghee. Those who sail under the first two of these names are In as bad a predicament as the bogus Jin Fung, for Assistant District Attorney Edwin Mays produced as witnesses against them the real Wong Gee and the real Wong Nang, whose Interests are Identical with those of the Government If they do not establish their identity as the men to whom the records of the court refer, they will place their own legal status In doubt Thus their Impersonators are In a tight place. All the cases were deferred till next Friday. May Put Boat on Upper River. WALLA WALLA, Sept IS. (Special.)

Next week tho Northwest Construction Company will be delivering1 Jetty stone from Bugby's. Already It has delivered 50,000 tons from Maygers. The quarry at the latter place Is to be used only tem porarily, until the Bugby quarry can' be opened. By the first of next month the shipments from Bugby's will amount to at least 2000 tons a day. The contractors havo given this assurance to the Govern ment engineers. The deliveries will be In creased later to 2500 or 3000 tons a day. Tho contractors will be prepared to send down more stono to Fort Stevens this Winter than the engineers can handle. During the past two or three weeks they have been delivering about 1000 tons a day, and on some days the shipments have reached 1200 tons. The Northwest Construction Company has expended a big sum of money on the Bugby quarry. It has had to equip Itself with new machinery and to make a switchback from the quarry to the Astoria Railroad, nearly two miles lon. How tho quarry Is going to turn out no expert can predict with certainty, but enough stone Is on the surface of the quarry for this sea son's use.

The purpose of their call upon Major Langfitt was to secure Information which they will embody In their report to tho chamber. G. B.
