Taft Makes Report on What
He Learned at the
Isthmus.
HIGHER THAN IM STATES
Construction Locomotive Engineers
and Conductors Are Given Ad
vance Regulation Regard
ins Leave to Stand.
WASHINGTON. May 5 A far-reaching
decision by Secretary Taft affecting rates
of pay, hours of labor, etc., on the
Isthmus of Panama, following his recent
personal investigation there, was made
puMic at the White House today after
beinjr approved by the President. The
decision applies to steam-shovel men,
construction-locomotive engineers and
construction-train conductors. One of
the grievances of the men was the put
ting into operation on April 1 of new
regulations restricting leave of absence
or leav on account of sickness. On this
question the Secretary says:
The old regulations were advertised In the
printed announcements sent out by the com
mission's agents to Induce persons to so to
the Isthmus and enter the employ of the
comml?3ion, so that every man who has
come to the Isthmus has come there with the
understanding that the old regulations were
to apply as part of his contract of service.
It seems to me that good faith requires
that the (Sid regulations as to the leave
shall not be materially changed, and shall
remain as part of the contract of service of
those now on the Isthmus, .and that while
there are some provisions In the new regula.
ttnns which would make for more stringent
enforcement of the Government's rights and
more certainly avoid possible fraud, they
should not be made applicable to men who
came to the Isthmus under the old regula
tions. Regarding summary dismissal withouX
hearing or giving reasons, which were
complained of by "the canal employes,
Secretary Taft says that he has given
his approval to the plan of Colonel
Goethals. whereby it is proposed to dis
pose of such cases through a committee
consisting of one representative of the
craft of the employe proposed for dis
missal, one representing the forward or
higher official proposing the discharge
and one representing the Commission,
ilnal action to be taken by the Commis
sion. Oppo.-ed to Wage Increase. ,
Secretary Taft next considers the case
of the steam-shovel men. who applied
for higher wastes, as follows: Engineers,
from 1210 to $3il per month: cranemen,
from SlS- to $:!50 per month; firemen,
from JSi to $110 per month.
In reaching the conclusion that the
present rates of pay are liberal, he cites
a large number of instances of wage
scales paid by large construction firms in
the United Stales from New Vork to San
Francisco and also In Alaska. He con
cludes that the complaint of this branch
of the canal employes is not well found
ed. The only method Is to fix a flat
rate for the whole class-
"After giving the matter the considera
tion whicn its importance deserves and
after weighing the comparative advan
tages which the Isthmian shovel men en
joy over their brothers in the States with
tiie disadvantages which they have to
bear in going to and living on the isth
mus, I have reached the conclusion that
the existing standard of pay is liberal
and ought not to be increased except un
der .some provision of reasonable In
crease applicable to all Western em
ployes of the commission who are paid
by class rates. The Isthmian shovel en
gineers are paid from 25 to 35 per cent
higher than the average of those- paid
In the States, and this by no means
states all the difference In favor of the
Isthmian terms of employment.
Wages on Isthmus Higher.
"I nm strongly of the opinion that the
rate of wages on the isthmus, taken with
the advantages that are enjoyed bv the
shovel men on the isthmus under their
terms of employment, are sufficiently in
excess of the usual rates of wanes in' the
I cited States fully to make up for the
greater strain and risk on the employes
on the Isthmus. There Is a difference in
favor of the isthmian flat rate of wages
of from 25 to 35 per cent, while the cer
tnlnty of 12 months' employment out of
t.ie year, the six weeks' leave with pay
together with free quarters, free fuel and
I t ee light and free medical attendance
carry the advantage of the isthmian rate
or uhkcs expressed In percentage easily
to i. per cent.
Secretary Taft takes Issue with the
steam-shovel men in their contentions
that they were told they might count on
a gradual increase in their wages amj
that the one increase thev had receive
was equivalent to a bonus, and therefore
was no increase at all.
He sas that the increase granted is
greater than any possible bonus, and
that, moreover, there was nothing In the
contract or printed announcement which
a:suiCd these employes a gradual In
crease of pay.
More Pay for Locomotive .Men.
The petition of the construction loco
motive engineers next is taken up, and
after alluding to the fact that these men
started at $!5u the Secretary says that in
asmuch as it seems to be conceded that
they, as well as stem-shovel engineers
In the United States, receive about the
fame rate of pay. the salaries should be
fixed at $210 a month, the amount asked.
Secretary Taft says the subject of over
time was the only point on which an
agreement could not be reached between
She locomotive engineers, Mr. Stevens and
Colonel Goethals.
"Basis of an operating day on the
Isthmus." says Secretary. Taft, "is eight
hours, but the construction locomotive
pneineers who work in connection with
steam-shovel men must necessarily, as
do all engineers, report for duty one
half hour before starting from the yard,
mil be engaged one hour in shifting his
train to the place of work In the morn
ing and returning it in the evening to
the yards."
The Secretary maintains that this was
the view of The locomotive engineers one
year ntto when by their management they
contracted that, including their report
ing for duty, their -day should be con
sidered one of nine hours. From that po
sition, he says, the engineers nyw with
draw. ant now ask overtime for a ninth
hour in addition to their increase of $30
s month.
Conductors Get Advance.
The proposition of Mr. Stevens and
Colonel Goethals to increase the pay of
construction train conductors from 1170
to Jl'. a month, Secretary Taft thinks
reasonable. They have asked for the
same wages as the engineers, $-10. He
holds that there is no ground for main
taining an equality between the wages
' of the two.
"The preparation needed to fit a man
to be a construction train conductor." he
remarked, "is much less than that
WAGES
needed to fit a man to be either a freight
conductor or the engineer of a construc
tion train."
For this reason, the Secretary says,
the increase from $170 to $190 is all that
can be reasonably Justified. The various
changes, by order of the President, be
came effective May 1.
RIPARIA GRADE FINISHED
When Rails Are Laid O. R. & N.
Will Run Trains to Lewiaton.
tEWISTON, Idaho, May 5. (Special.)
The last bit of grading; on the Ri
paria extension of the O. R. & N. has
been completed, camps are being
broken up and grading machinery
moved away. - The steel has been laid
to Almonta, to which point trains are
running. At that city a bridge has to
be built When that has been done the
track-laying gang will push forward
as rapidly as possible to Lewiston. The
river here cannot be crossed until the
draw span of the bridge has been put
in and the steel strung across the
water. The probabilities are that it
will be September before the O. R. .&
N. will be running into this city.
TACOMA GETS $750,000 DEPOT

Such Is the statement made by Vice
President Levey to Mayor Wright to
day, who, in view of the representa
tions of Mr. Levey and the faithful
promises that the programme will be
carried out, has decided not to veto
the ordinance removing the present
depot shed of the company from the

let the ordinance become a law with

Linn County Council Thinks
Granges Can Bring About
Better Order.
PLANS TO BE DISCUSSED
State Grange to Appoint Committee
or Five, Who Will Formulate
Plans' for Discussion at the
Sessions of Various Granges.
ALBANY, Or., May 5. (Special.) In an
effort to secure more equitable plans of
assessment In Oregon the Linn County
Council, Patrons of Husbandry, yester
day inaugurated a movement . for sys
tematic consideration of the question by
all the granges of the state the coming
year. With the hope of accomplishing
definite results It is planned to have a
commltee of five appointed by the State
Grange submit plans on assessment and
taxation to all the granges of Oregon,
each of which will consider and act on
the plans, and the concensus of opinion
will be embodied in proposed laws to
be Indorsed at the State Grange session
of 1908. Legislative action will then be
demanded at the session of the Legisla
ture tn 1909 or a bill enacted by the in
itiative plan.
The inauguration of the movement was
accomplished in the adoption of the fol
lowing resolution:
Whereas. The burden of taxation is one
that should be borne by the citizens of the
country in equal proportion to wealth; and
Whereas, It has appeared evident to all
that come forms of wealth have not borne
their proportionate share of this burden;
therefore, be It ,
"Resolved, By the Linn County Council,
Patrons of Husbandry, that the delegates
chosen from this county to attend the meet
ing of the State Grange, to be held In Hood
River, on May 24. he Instructed to ask that
body to appoint a special committee of five
members on assessment and taxation, who
phall take up the problems of equal taxes
In our state, and whose findings shall be
submitted for discussion and review at the
various Pomona Granges and County Coun
cils during the year, and whose final report
shall be made at the annual meeting of the
State Grange, to be held on the fourth Tues
day In May, 1D08. i
The following resolution anent legis
lative action was unanimously passed
by the Council: -
Resolved, That we urge our delegates to
the State Grange, which convenes at Hood
River' May 24. 1907, to use every endeavor
to assist In formulating an Initiative bill
to regulate the appropriations of the etate
normals, the Oregon Agricultural College
and the State University, with a view to
settling these vexed questions and to stop
the present method of log-rolling In our
State Legislature.
Jacob Voorhees. of Woodburn. attended
the meeting of the Linn County Council
yesterday and spoke on the proposed ref
erence of bills to the people under the
referendum. He stated he approved the
action of the Linn County Council in at
tempting to invoke the referendum on
the University of Oregon appropriation
bill and urged similar action on the Com
pulsory . Pass bill and the O. N. G. Ar
mory bill.
C. H Walker and Eugene Palmer, who
have been superintending the campaign
against the U. of O. bill, made a report
of the progress of this work and the
Council endorsed their efforts and also
voted resolutions thanking the outside
Granges which had approved the move
ment. In connection with this matter the fol
lowing resolution was passed:
Resolved, That we emphatically protest
against the Idea given to the public by the
friends of the University of Oregon appro
priation, that we are opposed to higher
education. We favor such education, but
hold that our public schools are of para
mount importance, and until appropriations
are given them proportionate to those grant
ed the higher institutions we will oppose giv
ing such extravagant sums to the latter.'
ABAXDOX COUNTY INSTITUTES
Marion, Linn and Polk Teachers
Unite In Association.
ALBANY, Or.. May S. (Special.)
Under the provisions of an act passed
by the recent Legislature, Marion, Linn
and Polk Counties will not hold the
usual annual teachers' institutes this
year, but will all join in the meeting
of the State Teachers' Association, to
be held at Salem, July 1, 2 and 3. The
new law allows County School Super
intendents to contribute the money
usually expended in county Institutes
into a fund for joint institutes. Other
Valley counties besides the three
named may join fn the coming meet
ing, which will make it one of the
largest gatherings of schoolteachers
ever held In the state. -
County School Superintendent Jack
son decided today that Linn County
shall par.-clpate in the joint institute.
Before abandoning the county insti
tute he submitted the plan to a voto
of the teachers of the county, and
found them In favor of the change. At
local institutes at Lebanon and
Brownsville last week the teachers
voted for the joint institute, and Su
perintendent Jackson has received re
plies from many other instructors in
dicating that the new plan is popular.
EXPECT GOOD FRUIT CROP
Frosts In Umatilla Only Helped to
Thin the Blossoms.
PENDLETON", Or.. May 5. (Special.)
Crop estimate made by County
Fruit Inspector Evans and others and
based on reports from all sections of
the county, show that while the fruit
crop in Umatilla County this year will
not be a bumper one. as was anticipat
ed until the unexpected freeze came a
few days ago, yet it will be much larg
er than any- that has been harvested
for two or three years. While some
fruits suffered more than others, it is
believed that on the average a third
of the -blossoms were not injured. The
fact that the fruit buds were about a
monfn later than usual and also that
the blossoms were thicker than before,
will account for the fact that, barring
future frosts, the harvest will be a
good one.
