H GHER 1 Portland Railway Employes Submit Request. LIVING COST INCREASES lire Cents an Hour Additional Pay 1 What the Petition or tho Men Calls for J'rom the Management. Moiormen and conductors in the eniploy of the Portland Railway Company have petitioned President F. I. Fuller for an Increase, In wages amounting to 5 cents an hour. The additional wage of 50 cents a day Is asked for all carmen In th em ploy of the company. The Increased cost of living is given as the reason for the Increase. President Fuller says the re quest is bring considered, but he cannot ay what action will be taken upon It. The Portland Railway Company has a. bout 600 carmen In its employ, exclusive of the Oregon Water Power & Railway Company's forces, which work under a different wage scale, although the road Is owned by the same persons who own the other traction roads of Portland. The men In tho employ of the Portland Rail way Company are paid 21 cents an hour for the first year they are in the employ of the company. The second year they are paid 22 cents an hour and 24 cents the third year and thereafter. The. men ask for an Increase of cents an hour for ill three classes of men. This would make the wages of the men range from 26 to 30 cents an hour, according to the length of servico. Petition Is Received. "The company has received the petition of the men and is considering It," said President Fuller yesterday. "What action will be taken, I cannot say. Each division of the carmen has asked for the increase, baaing the petition on che higher prices of all commodities and stating that since It costs more to live, higher salaries should be paid. The request does not come from any organization among our men, but from then Individually. The pe titions were generally signed by a large number of our employes." During the past 14 years the wages of street-car men in Portland have been raised six or seven times, and each time at the request of the rank and file, with out coming from any union organization. The wages have been advanced from 16 2-3 cents an hour to the present salaries without trouble at any time, and the lines ot the Portland Railway Company have never been tied up by any strike. Since the building of the old City Sr Suburban Railway Company's lines and the former Portland Railway Company's roads.. Port land traction lines have been absolutely free from any labor troubles. One strike occurred on the O. W. P. a few years ago. Rates During Exposition. During the Exposition the Portland Railway Company voluntarily' raised wages of the carmen 2 cents an hour, with the understanding that all who remained with the company throughout the Exposi tion were to get an Increase of 3 cents. After the Exposition closed, the former wage scale, that now in use. was resumed. There has been no permanent change in wage since November. 1904. shortly after the consolidation of the two old street railway lines. Then a slight readjustment of wages was given the men. the slightly higher salaries paid by the Portland Rail way Company being continued by the con solidated lines. There is no indication of a strike on the part of street-car men to enforce their claims for higher wages, and it is expect ed that the matter will be arranged ami cably. The board of directors of the Port land. Rail wax Cgnjfiaj. would Julys to act upon the question before the raise could be granted, although it is likely that that body would merely ratify a decision reached by the active management of the road. The board meets next week, but it Is said that action upon the matter at that time is unlikely. On Trip of Inspection. J. P. O'Brien, general manager of the Harriman interests in the Northwest, left yesterday in his private car Oregon, for a trip of inspection over the O. R. & X. lines. With him ia William Mahl. con troller of the Harriman system, of New York City. Mr. Mahl has been checking up the accounts of the general offices in Portland, and is now on his way back to New York.

APPLAUDED BY HEARERS Comments on the Recent Thirty-Mil-lion-Dollar Merger of Light, Power and Street - Car Systems in Portland. Municipal ownership was the theme of an address with which ex-Congressman Robert Baker, of Brooklyn, N. Y aroused enthusiasm last night at a joint meeting of the Multnomah and Young Men's Dem ocratic Clubs in Unity Hall. Mr. Baker Is the Congressman who acquired a Na tional reputation by refusing railroad passes. He has been In Oregon on a business and pleasure trip and accepted an Invitation to address the meeting of the clubs. His speech was of especial interest because .he directed his remarks In a measure to local conditions, though only in a general way. John Montag, presided, and Mr. Van Alstine acted as secretary. Mr. Baker said that the principles he advocated in New York were as applica ble in Oregon as at home, which princi ples, if put In force, would bring about a more desirable state of affairs. He soon made it known that he came to Oregon to speak in favor of municipal ownership, and when this announcement was vigorously applauded be remarked that he could not understand the mean ing of this demonstration unless the peo ple of this city were dissatisfied with the private exploitation of public utilltles. whieh suggestion brought forth renewed applause. He told how Thomas F. Ryan paid State Chairman Odell. . of New York, 1100,000 to maintain the statu quo in the New York City government and how Sen ator Patrick H. McCarron. a leader of the Democratic party, received an annual bribe of J20.000 from the Standard Oil Company and showed that by such means as this vast aggregations of capital con trolled the nominations of candidates and Influenced the actions of lawmakers against the Interests of the people. Reading from a newspaper a report of the recent merger of electric light, power Robert Baker, Democratic Member of Congress From 'Sixth New York District. and railway systems in Oregon, with cap ital estimated at J30.000.000. which merger was expected to result in "increased serv ice at a minimum of cost." he said that it such a result should follow the New York capitalists must have changed their character since they crossed the Rockies. He told of a merger of seven gas com panies in New York City, with property in which $6,000,000 had been invested. The combination issued J15, 000,000 in bonds and J15.O0O.O0O In stock, and soon the stock advanced In value to 200 per cent and the people paid the holders of the stock and bonds 8 per cent interest on J45.O00XlO0. This merger, he said, was for the purpose of giving increased service at a minimum of cost, but the people found their gas bills increasing, though the price charged was reduced from $1.50 to Jl a thousand. Comments on Merger. Commenting upon the statement that the transfer of the electric plants meant a large investment of Eastern capital, he said that 50 per cent of the investment was represented by the franchises which the people gave away and which they ought now to own. He said that the peo ple of this country had not fully under stood the consequences of the granting of exclusive privileges, but he thought he could see in the applause which frequent ly interrupted his remarks an evidence of an awakened public sentiment. Faithful adherence to the principle of equal rights to all and special privileges to none for bids the granting of public-service fran chises,, but In order to observe this prin ciple the public must own and control public utilities." C. E. S. Wood also spoke. Badly Cut by a Saw. John W. . Elliott, of 925 Montana ave nue, was cut by a saw at the Portland Lumber Company's mill early yesterday morning. The sharp teeth cut frightful gashes in one leg and the back of his neck. He was removed to St. Vincent's Hospital, where last night he was re ported to be growing weaker. High License at La Grande.
