ONLY WAITING FOR CALL OftlclaU ot Southern Pacific In Ore- gon Appreclat Gravity of Situa tion Relations of Engineers and Firemen Strained. There n possibility that flrmon on the Oregon lines of the Southern Pacific may go out on strike In sympathy with the strikers on the Atlantic division. Should Grand Master Hanrahan, of the Brothfrhnod of Locomotive Firemen, call on the men on the Oregron lines, it is said they would undoubtedly respond promptly. The trouolee oetv the engineers and firemen on the Southern I'acinc lines farther South are the talk of local round- bonnes, and the more discussion that is frlven the controversy, the more mixed matters become, and the more the en- glnrers and firemen taKe sides. Relations are becoming somewhat strained between engineers and firemen here as at result of the continued argu- went of the troubles of the B. of U E. and the R of I. F. The firemen on the Oregon lines are fully organized. Th strength of the B. of I. F in this state Is about 160, Should these men be railed out considerable mbarrflssment to passenger and freigrht traffic In Oregon won Id probably result. The management of the Oregon lines of the Southern Pacific seem to appreel- ate the gravity of the situation. General Manager O'Brien is preparing a state ment to the firemen on the Oregon lines, which will be printed today for flistribu- t.nn. It is hoped that a clear statement of the troubles of the englnemen at aome distant point on the system will have the, effect of showing the firemen on the Oregon division that there Is no occasion for their talcing up other people fights. However, should the order come from Mr, Hanrahan to walK out, It ?eems to be the determination of the 6regon firemen to go In . body. FIREMEN AV1IL DECIDE TODAY Genernl Strike) on Harrlmnn System In Immediate Prospect. PEORIA, Til., Jan. 2. (Specl.) Affairs In the Brotherhood of Loco- motive Fireman's etriKe on the At lantic system of the Southern Pacific will probably reach a crisis tomorrow. whf:n the executive board concludes Its session, which lias been on for several1 days. . Tt can he. stated on erood nuthorlty that the firemen are now determined to force a strike on all the various Hflrrlman lines, which would mean a practical tlcup of seven different- rail road systems. They are- not K'lnK at the matter hastily, but say that It Harrlman does not accede to their demands and keep promises which they say he has broken, they will tie up th entire sys tem. Grand Master John J. Hanrahan. of the firemen, has not yet received an mnuwer to the ultimatum which he sent To President Harrlman yesterday. I f thia is not rortncoming very soon, tiie nrdtr for an extension of the strike will be given and m. bitter struggle wi II be on. While complete secrecy as to the trans actions In the meeting- in maintained, it was learned tonlRht that the member ship of the order on all the Karrlman lines l being polled as to the sentiment or a strike.

WILL MEET IN PORTLAND state Federation or Labor tO flOlfl Annual Convent-Ion cxt Week. The annual, convention of the State Federation of Labor will open next Mon day in Portland and will last thre dayn. The session will .be largely attended y union ablegates from all parts Of the State. About 1M persona will probably be here to participate In the convention, whioh probably will be held In Drew hall. The principal business will be' to COn- sifler the new convict labor km that is , proposed to .be submitted to the coming I-R-lnlatur. OrganUed labor or the state is strongly m favor or this measure and It Is expected the convention will strongly Indorse It. Steps will be taken to Induce leRiHlatorB to vote for tbe proposed law. One day of the convention will be de- votett to a discussion or tlie political phases of organized labor with a view of ascertaining: what position the unions of the state will take on the Union Labor Fart)-, which has just been organized. It U expected the new party will be heartily supported - but until official action is taken, this Is not certain as some opposl- tion may develop, it Is thought that a state labor party will be the successor of the Union Labor Party, started locally. President Oram of the State Federation. will preside at the coming convention and P. McDonald, secretary, will keep the of the session.

WTOM HOT HflEP TTNIOX LABOR PARTY DETERS v DEFINITE ACTIO.N. After Discussing Pertinent Subjects, Convention liOavex Platform in Hanfla ol Committee, There was so much discussion last night at the convention of the new Union Labor party that the platform. which it was proposed to adopt, was left in the hands of the committee with Instructions to amend it and pre sent it again in two weeks. The convention became a tsl Icfest. pure and simple, and every one had a good deal to say In giving his opin- BECKEl'ARY OF THE UNION I.A- J BOR PARTY CONVENTION. iimii iif i "TuiiiiiliyiM T. M. Iabo. Photo, by Srowning. Ion as to the principles that should be Incorporated In the platform. The convention talKe (or three flours on the questions of the day ' and at the eloae of the session had not arrived at any satisfactory conclusions. Woman suffrage proved the most fruitful topic and many seemed pre pared to talk on that subject all nleht. It was atranly n rm- that a plank: providing for extending the ballot to women ghould be adopted forthwith. Others contended that as It is two yearn until the -question of woman sutTraare will have another opportu- nlty to come up. It would he well to leave tne prooiem umi i inter, how ever, many delegates wliid to bo heard on the subject and the discus- slon continued lor an hour. It Is like- 1y that a woman suffrage plank will be Incorporated in the platform when it Is Anally adopted. Alter exhausting the woman suff rage question, the. convention took up free 'water and announced that It favors the plan. The plutocrats came in for some hard Knocks during1 a Jls- fussion of this subject and the Water Board was remembered and alluded to in terms of denunciation. Other questions of interest to organ- .zed labor vera taken up and it was nearly mldnigrht before the convention adjourned. It wrb tbe opinion of ther dele&atea that the platform as submit- ted was too lengthy. It took so much time to discuss ft that none was left to adopt tbe different planks. Several recommendations were- made to tne piattorm committee .and the members will incorporate the changes desired and .bring: tbe amended plat form to tbe meeting of the convention two weeKs trom last nignt, when K 13 expected the declaration of principles and platform will be adopted- The re port of the platform committee, how- ever. win then be again open,- tot amenuments. The preamble of the platform an nounces the purposes of tbe Union Xa bor party in a general way and gives as the reason for organization the necessity of standing together that union labor may get .fair play. J. J. Price presided at the conven- tlon and T. M. Leabo, member of the strtlce committee In the streetcar walkout, is secretary. Brotlif rnoofl or Yeomen Meet. St. Johns Homestead.

The atate school tax was increased by a tenth, of a m-U from the original ett- mate. It was figured that the In- creased county revenue will be some- thingr like $7.iO.OOO over that of last year, in consequence of the tremend- ous increase of property values and the not ins1g:nifica.nt enlargement of the new levy. The increase In the road taac was accounted for by the intention of the county to- make larger expenditures in road Improvements durtngr the com I n far year. The total outlay on roads dur- Ing the past year amounted to about $80,000. In ajd31tlon to the road improve ments.

X party of seven congenial spirits as sembled at the Cafe Kratz, Sixth and Stark streets, shortly before midnight and engaged In a game of poker, but unfor- tunately for thqJr hopes of a few hours of sport. Acting: Detectives Kay and Kien len were rounding up the saloons to see that all was well. The officers entered Kratz' place and stumbled on the "big: game." As they entered the hallway leading to tne lower apartment or the cafe, the or- fleers encountered the proprietor, to whom they put a Question as to what was going on in the basement. Kratz replied that he was "only Just fixing, the place up lor a kitchen.' but' the sleuths decided to look for themselves. Kratz made no ef fort to atop them, and the two interlopers entered a room where seven "good fel lows' were assembled around a table. They were: Fred T. Merrill. ex-City Coun cilman ; Fred Fritz, proprietor of a larfre resort on BurnsWe street; Billy Slmona, bon vlvant and general all round good fellow, ready for a "little aame" any time; Harry Alartln. a traveling sales man; Fred Butler, another knight ot the grip: Harry Scholtz and . Prank Smith. AH were arrested for gambling, and Qua Kratz, the proprietor of the resort, was taken along for good measure. Playing cards wre In evidence and $147.50 in coin occupied conspicuous posi tions on the green cloth in front of two of th players. The others probably recognized the visage of Thomas Kay and promptly "went south with their money. A deal had been made and several "good hands" were held by various members of the festive party, and one man was heard to express his resentment at the officers lntrustion. for the reason that he had a Xull hand, composed of three queens and a pair of deuces. All were escorted to the station, and 50 bait waa exacted from each except (Merrill and Simons, who said they were spectators. They put up $10. apiece. Kay and Kienlen stumbled, on the game by mere chance, for they were looking for young- girls in saJoons. and hesitated on tne comer of Sixth and Stark before they ventured into Kratz' place.
