supported by the Baptists of Oregon and
neighboring states. A large delegation
f-orp the college arrived in Alhany today,
among them being several members of the
faculty, the college glee club and many
of the alumni. The appeal for mission
ary work was turned into a "booster"
meeting for the college, and college but
tons and pennants gave the gathering
much the appearance of an oratorical
contest or an intercollegiate debate after
the winner has heen announced.
President 1,. TV. Riley, of the college,
spoke at some length on the work of the
institution, its needs and its possibilities.
Evidences of co-operation of a material
nature on the part of the Baptists of
Washington were adduced, and it was
stated that if Oregon Baptises would rally
around the school and raise $50,000 or $.
poo. the college could be endowed with
JlSO.ono.
Seattle "Wants Baptist College.
"Baptists of Oregon must pay the
debts hanging over McMinnville College
and do their share towards -raising an
endowment of $150,000. or sell the col
lege and give the money to some one
who can maintain a college." said Dr.
J. Whitcomb Broucher. of Portland, at
the close of the addresses of the speak
ers at the college meeting of the Bap
tists' state convention this evening. He
continued:

At the close of Dr. Brougher's "talk a
committee was appointed to draft reso
lutions giving the committee of trustees
of McMinnville College authority to en
ter "into any . reasonable agreement with
the Baptists of Western Washington re
garding the educational work of the de
nomination in the Northwest. It was
made plain that McMinnville College will
either be put on a sound basis within
the next few months and be equipped to
become one of the strongest institutions
of the state or it will cease to exist after
0 years of struggle and will be sold and
the proceeds given to assist in building
a Baptist educational edidce in Seattle.
VOTE FOR SPIRIT OF COMITY
Congre.eatlonalis.ts Will Join With
Other Evangelical Denominations.
. PENDLETON". Or.. Oct. 17 (Special )
The Congregational church in Oregon. In
annual session here today, voted to join
the other denominations of the state in a
spirit of comity. The spirit of comity
means that before any denomination shail
enter a new field it shall be left to a
committee consisting of members from
all the denominations to decide which
shall enter this field. The object Is to
prevent the organization of so many small
churches.
The fifty-eighth annual meeting of the
general association of Congregational
ministers and churches in Oregon was
formally organized this morning by the
election of the following officers:

In connection with home missions, an
effort is being made to put a special min
ister in Eastern Oregon to develop the
work, and a resolution having this for its
purpose will probably be passed tomor
row. In addition to the other business trans
acted today, a plan was adopted by the
ministers whereby they are to pool their
expenses in attending the annual meeting
hereafter, and In accordance with this
plan the expense of the ministers will be
the same regardless of the distance each
is compelled to travel.
The delegates from Salem today extend
ed an invitation to the association to
meet in Salem next year, and the mod
erator announced tonight that it would
in all probability go to the Capital City.
The morning and afternoon sessions
were devoted mostly to business, but the
evening session was wholly religious In
character. A short sermon was preached
by Rev. E. S Bellinger, of Portland, on
"A Great Leader." This was followed by
a strong address by Dr. E. L. House on
"A Great Disciple." The meeting will
close tomorrow night.
LESS CARS ARE IN USE
XORTHERX PACIFIC MAKES XO
PROVISION FOR LUMBER.
Enormous Business Is Transacted in
Washington W ith Entirely In
adequate Equipment.
OL.TMPIA. TVash.. Oct. 17. (Special. )
The charge by Pacific Coast lumbermen
that the railroads have absolutely failed
to anticipate and provide for increased
equipment to handle the greatly Increased
business is absolutely borne out by the
report of the Northern Pacific for the
year ending June 30, 1:5. just filed with
the State Railway Commission. This
shows, instead, of increase in lumber
equipment, an actual decrease of 282 cars
from those in service a year ago, of the
class of cars generally used for lumber,
shingles and grain shipments.
The road states in the report that the
number of its box cars is 56 less than
for the previous year, that flat cars have
decreased in number 226. and other freight
cars 13S. These decreases are probably
due to wrecks, age, etc.
The only car equipment added accord
ing: to the report, has been 7S4 stock cars,
558 coal cars, and) 40 refrigerator cars, a
net gain in freight equipment for the year
of but 962 cars, to add to the 35,137
freight cars reported the previous year
or an increase of lass than 3 per cent in
total freight equipment. Of course, the
new stock, coal and refrigerator cars, will
not help out the lumber men for they
use only the flats and box cars.
The company reports that it has in
creased its passenger cars 59 for the
year, making 830 now in service, and
it has added for its own use 444 new
cars, mostly cabooses, to the 7S0 cars
of that kind in use the previous year.
It added 90 new locomotives to the
915 previously in use, but even this
addition is claimed to make no in
crease in motive power, as it is stated
not - by the railroad, however, that
nearly or quite as many engines as
this number have been put out of bus
iness during the year by age or break
downs because of the enormous work
put upon them.
The 1905 report showed 34 engines
put out of business that year, but the
1905 report is silent upon that point.
Incidentally the 1905 report shows 307
flat cars and 99 stock cars put out
of service, which is about the 1906
car loss total.
That thevengines are put to harder
tasks now than in the previous yeai
is fully shown by the report of tonnage
handled. Despite the car shortage
and the stagnation of traffic that has
almost constantly existed for more
than 15 months, the report shows that
freight business in this state alone
increased from 5.294,190 tons in 1905
to 15.356.312 tons in 1906, and passen
ger traffic, which was 2.117,629 revenue-paying
passengers in Washington
in 190O, grew to 5.920.280 in 1906.
Taking the reports' figures the com
pany increased its own service equip
ment 50 per cent, with trebled freight
movement it added less than 3 per
cent net freight car equipment and
less than 10 per cent engine equip
ment, and with doubled passenger pat
ronage added less than 9 per cent pas
senger car equipment, and dropped off
appreciably in its car equipment for
handling grain. lumber and shingles.

SPLIT ON ROCK
OF RECOGNITION
(Continued Prom. Face 1-)
deavored to conduct a peaceable and
orderly strike, and disclaim all knowl
edge of the incident referred to by
Mr. Burns as having occurred yester
day. Mayor Lane Is Sanguine,
Mayor Lane alone seems fully -satisfied
with the situation. Yesterday
afternoon he declared that he -was
greatly pleased with the communica
tions sent him by the exporters and
the grainhandlers, and had every hope
that an amicable settlement would be
brought about. He notified the rep
resentatives of the strikers, and ex
porters that the committee room at
the City Hall would be at their dis
posal whenever the arbitrators wished
to begin work, and seemed to regard
the arbitration as a settled fact.
Both sides will appoint their arbi
trators this morning and it is the
Mayor's plan that the arbitrators shall
come together and complete organiza
tion at the CityHall at 2 o'clock this
afternoon.
The following is the reply sent to
the Mayor by the grain exporters:
Dear Sir: We are in receipt of your favor
of the 15th inst. and in reply beg- to say that
we are willing to agree to an arbitration as
proposed oa the question of the rate of wages
to be paid grainhandlers. Very truly.
EXPORTERS' ASSOCIATION.
W. J. Burns. Secretary.
The grainhandlers reply to the Mayor's
proposition Is lengthy and contains a
resume of the water front conditions
during the past decade. It is as follows:
Reply of the Grainhandlers.
Dear Sir We acknowledge receipt of your
letter of the 13th inst., and as requested
by you we have considered the matter of
settling our differences with the grain ex
porters by arbitration and most respect
fully beg to state:
That we sincerely regret the deplorable
conditions which have followed our simple
request for an increase of wages from our
employers. There are 1200 members in our
union and those affiliated with us, com
prising the Water Front Federation, most
.of whom are men of families and taxpay
ers of your city and men who are directly
and personally interested in its welfare and
general prosperity and we are now and al
ways have been ready and willing to sacri
fice our personal interests, so far as may be
consistent with reason, for the general good
of the people of the city at large.
In order that you and our fellow citizens
may know of our position in this contro
versy with the exporters, through which
the loss of any business or threatened su
premacy of the city has followed, we beg to
submit the following statement of facts
and will be content for the public to deter
mine upon, which of us rests the responsi
bility for the conditions as they exist to
day along the water front.
Strikers State Their Case.
For several years past it has been the
custom of the exporters to enter into an
agreement with the grainhandlers govern
ing the relations between them in handling
of grain for the season. For a long time
prior and during part of the year 1S95, we.
grainhandlers, received 40 cents an hour
for our labor, which every person knows is
the very hardest kind of work and can
only be followed for any length of time, by
those of unusual strength and strong con-,
stitutlons and that It also requires consid
erable experience and skill in handling the
trucks and piling the sacks with alertness
and precision.
In 1S05, without warning, our wages were
cut by the exporters to 30 cents an hour,
and we accepted the reduction and con
tinued to faithfully perform our work. At
that time we were informed that when
times got better our former wages would
be restored. We appreciated the fact that
times were hard and we continued to work
for 30 cents until 1900, when we informed
the exporters that conditions were much
better and we requested an increase of our
wages. The firm of Allen & Lewis thereupon
raised our wages to 40 cents an hour, and
paid said scale for .a short time, but the
other exporters refusing to meet the raise
and pay the same wages, Allen & Lewis
quit paying and our men continued to work
for 30 cents an hour.
Compromised on 35 Cents.
In 1901, we again requested an Increase of
our wages to 40' cents an hour and after a
conference with the exporters, we finally
compromised the matter in the interests of
harmony, and we accepted 35 cents an hour,
the exporters agreeing to recognize our
union and pay 50 cents an hour for overtime.
In 1902 a written agreement was signed
by all the exporters recognizing the union
and agreeing to pay the same scale of
wages, 35 cents an hour and 50 cents for
overtime. Since whtcht time we have con
tinued to work upon these same terms ana
conditions, every year, up to and until our
last agreement expired, which was Septem
ber 1, of this year. On August 20, of this
year, just prior to the expiration of our
agreement, we again requested the export
ers for an increase of wages to 40 cents an
hour, believing that if we were ever go
ing to have the old scale restored, that
times were certainly ripe for so doing, as
they had never been better within the his
tory of the city, and we presented a new
agreement for their consideration, being
identical with the old one, excepting the
Increase of 5 cents an hour in wages and in
clause 3. which provided that the weighers,
samplers and, machine men should belong to
our union.
In the contract clause 3 provided that they
should be members of the union if they
should perform other work than sampling
and weighing, which they did and most
all belonged to the union, and had joined
the union at the request. of the exporters,
so that they could do other grain work and
therefore this new request contained noth
ing more than we were receiving under the
old agreement.
Are DiMhaxged by Employers.
On September 1, last, we met with the
exporters to consider the matter and pre
sented our reasons' for requesting the in
crease of wages. Our request was refused
and we continued to work until September
21. when we received a written notice from
the exporters ro the effect that we must re
new the old agreement and stated that we
would have but one day to consider the
matter. We thereupon replied that we
would insist upon the new agreement and
the scale of wages mentioned therein. Each
member of the union, who was then em
ployed by the exporters, received a letter,
peremptorily discharging him from his em
ployment. We have taken the liberty of staring
FOND OF PIES
But Had to Give Them r'jv
Anyone who has eaten New England
pies knows how good they are.
But some things that taste good
don"t always agree. A Mass. lady had
to leave off pie, but found something
far better for" her stomach. She writes:
'Six or eight years ago chronic liver
trouble was greatly exaggerated by eat
ing too much fat meat, pastry and par
ticularly pies, of which T was very fond.
"Severe headaches, dizziness, nausea
followed, and food, even fruit, lay like
lead in my stomach, accompanied by a
dull, heavy pain almost unbearable. I
had peculiar 'spells' flashes of light
before my sight. I could read half a
word and the rest would be invisible.
"A feeling of lassitude and confusion
of ideas made me even more miserable.
I finally decided to change food alto
gether and befran on Grape-Nuts food,
which brought me prompt relief re
moved the dizziness, headache, con
fused feeling, and put me on the road to
health and happiness. It clears my
head, strengthens both brain and nerves.

he usually calls out 'six packages of
Grape-Nuts!' and he's nearly always

.WellvUle," in pkgs.
these matters fully in order that yon and
the people of our fair city may know the
true facts and history of our controversy
with, the grain exporters. Inuring all of the
time since we have been without employ
ment in consequence thereof, we have en
deavored to conduct ourselves as gentlemen
and have tried by honest and fair means
only to carry our contentions to a success
ful issue. The matter of the city being put
to the "expense of keeping a force of police
detailed to keep the peace" as mentioned in
your letter, was and is certainly uncalled
for and an unnecessary expense and. as
you 6tate. to the neglect of other interests
of the city, which badly needs all the po
lice protection that the city can afford.
Strikers Are for Peace.
We never Intended or even thought of
breaking the law or in any manner of dis
turbing the peace of the city. One of the
cardinal principles of our union Is to dis
countenance lawlessness in all its forms and
we do not permit any member to unlaw
fully Interfere with a laborer at any time, it
being our only purpose by personal conver
sation with the laborer filling our positions
and taking away from us our employment,
by moral persuasion to influence him to be
lieve that he is guilty of a serious wrong
toward a fellow laborer.
The exporters have succeeded in harbor
ing a number of men to take our place, by
mooring the steamboat Bailey Gatzert along
side their docks, and barricading the outer
doors and compelling the workmen to eat.
sleep and work within their enclosures, as
we are Informed against their will In many
cases, and we believe that the use of the
police officers is in aid of that purpose
only and not for fear of any violence or
breach of the peace on our part, which
exists only in the Imagination of the ex
porters, if at all.
As stated before, we were promised a res
toration of the 40-cent wage scale "when
the times became better," and we all know
that the entire country Is now enjoying an
unparalleled period of prosperity. On the
other hand the cost of living has increase.1
much more in proportion than the small in
crease we are requesting in our wages.
Confident They Are Right.
We feel, therefore, that we are right in
this controversy and that our request is
just and fair and we have no fear of sub
mitting the matter to arbitration, which is
always welcomed by us as a fair method of
settling differences and Is one of the funda
mental principles of our union.
It might appear to you and our fellow
citizens, at first blush, that the sum of 40
cents an hour Is rather a large wage and
we therefore desire to call your attention to
the fact that the grain season does not last
more than five months of the year and that
during that period a large number of our
men. whose particular work is to do the ship
trucking, often lose one and two days in the
week, in following the ships from one dock
to another and never average more than
nine hours a day during the busy season. In
the quiet season or during, the other seven
months of the year, -none of our men get
full time and are fortunate indeed if they
can earn the bare necessities of a living and
often work only two or three hours a day
and many days there is no work at all.
We would suggest, however, in accepting
your proposal of arbitration, that we each
name two persons, instead of one, as men
tioned, and the four so chosen to select the
fifth member, as we would be better satis
fied to submit the issues to a larger board,
who would in consequence be better
equipped to consider all the matters which
may arise for arbitration. .
Want Police Withdrawn. .
We also desire to state that the export
ers In a spirit of fairness to ourselves and
to the general public and its welfare, should
correct the conditions now existing along
the docks, regarding the employment of the
men, who are now trying to fill our places,
and also the policemen and forthwith re
move the same; upon these conditions, we
will agree to submit to arbitration and will
return to work at once, providing that all
members of our union, who . were working
prior to the time this controversy arose,
shall be reinstated as before and in accord
ance with our last written agreement be
tween us which expired September 1, 1906,
and to continue to work thereunder until a
settlement by the board of arbitration, to
be selected as aforesaid, is finally made, ,of
our request, as contained in written agree
ment which was submitted to the exporters
on August 20. 1906. and the award of the
board of arbiters to be final and conclusive.
Very respectfully submitted.
