r HE .MORNING OREGONIAN. WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 14. 1907. K 1 I KM CONTINUE FIGHT Labor Organizations Assured Belding Ordinance Is Not Aimed at Them. CITY ATTORNEY'S OPINION Nevertheless Comiplttee of Working men Will Attend Council Meet ing Today and Ask Amend ment to Protect Interests. Several matters of Importance are to come up for consideration In the Coun cil at lta regular meeting this after noon, chief mongr them being the Beld ing anti-trust ordinance. Another Im portant measure that Is on the card for discussion Is Baker's automobile or dinance. In addition there Is an un usually large amount of miscellaneous business to be taken up, as this will be the first session since the time of meeting was changed from the first and third to the second and fourth Wednes days of each month. Indications are that there will be a heated debate over the anti-trust ordi nance, as it Is known that considerable opposition to It has arisen in certain quarters. Just how much of vtiils op position exists within the Council Is not known, as none of the members lias yet expressed disapproval of the measure. Many of the Councilman have openly declared themselves In favor of it, and there seems little likelihood that it will be defeated, although Amendments may be adopted. The only open opposition to the meas ure comes from the Federated Trades Council, which appointed a committee last week to confer with members of the Council, asking them ti oppose the Belding bill's passage. The memotrs of this committee are P. McT"onald. T. M. Leabo and Ed Thayer. They have discussed the ordinance with several of the Councilmen and will be present at the meeting th:s afternoon, ft is pos sible they will withdraw their oppo eltlon. Fear a Hidden Joker. The fa-- of tl:e Federated Trades Council U that aiiro provisions of the Belding measure may be construed as legislation against labor unions. By Its terms the ordinance forbids all kinds of combinations for the restraint of trade, or the fixing" of prices. The representatives of the unions believe that this may be taken to forbid the organization of laborers and the adop tion of wage scales. When thia phase of the ordinance vii called to the attention of Belding he took It up with the City Attorney, who reported that nothing in the ordi nance could be construed as applying to labor unions. McDonald, chairman of the committee from the unions, dis cussed the matter with Belding last night, and It was decided that the com mittee should consult th City Attor ney about the matter today before the meeting of the Council. It is the contention of the commit tee that a clause should be inserted . in the ordinance exempting the labor unions from its provisions. No matter what the result of the conference with the City Attorney, it is probable that the committee will appear before the Council today and ask that such an amendment be made. Wallace May Fight It. ' The ordinance will come before the Council with the unanimous recom mendation of the Judiciary committee, consisting of Vaughn, Cellars and Ben nett. The only indication that there will be opposition to the measure from within the - Council is the fact that Wallace blocked its passage at the last meeting of the Council. It would have been carried at that time, had it not been for the objection of Wallace under the rule that It makes unani mous consent to pass an ordinance on the day of its introduction. He at tempted to kill the bill by referring it to an entirely inappropriate commit tee, that one on accounts and current expenses. It is understood that there is decided objection to the ordinance on the part of some of the trade combines of the city. Whether they will have repre sentatives on hand to put up a fight this afternoon is not known. It Is hard ly probable that they will oppose the ordinance openly, but they may come forward with suggested amendments that would cripple the measure. "Some opposition to the measure has developed, but I feel confident that it will pass," said Mr. Belding last nlsht. "The labor unions will favor it ft en amendment is rasred protecting them from its operation. Among the em- ployers the chief opposition has come from the printers and druggists. Some of the employers have express s J a de sire to let the ordinance cover the unions, but that Is decidedly not the Intention. Baker Bill Has Enemies. There will probably be a lively dis cussion when the Baker automobile ordinance is brought up. This may not come up today, as the ordinance will probably be sent to a committee before it is acted on by the Council. Auto owners are not at all pleased with ome of the provisions of the ordi nance, including the four-mile speed limit In rounding corners, and the pro vision that all drivers must pass ex amination before the City Engineer and City Physician before taking employ ment. THEY ACCUSE D. R. NELSON TRAVELERS' AID OFFICERS SAY HE IXSf IiTED SEVEX GIRLS. Young Women Who Applied for Position of Stenographer, They Say Met With Indignities. PORTLAND, Aug. 13. (To the Editor.) For a long time the Tfoung Women's Christian Association has been cognizant of conditions in some of the business offices In Portland, where Innocent girls applying for positions or regularly em ployed, are subjected to insults or in dignities. Many such cases have been reported to us and action has been taken, but In most cases it has been the word of one girl agajnst her employer, who often was a man of some standing in the community. Therefore the cases were necessarily weak. Recently the Travelers' Aid De jartmnt took up the matter of an orphan - 1 10 s girl 17 years of age. who was ruined under the most subtle surroundings in the office of a Portland man who is married and has a family. The employer began by telling the girl If she would kiss him she might have a whole day off. It took him a month before he accomplished his design. This girl had no protector except the association. The man acknowledged his crime and was punished, but the Incident was kept from the papers on account of the girl's name. We decided at that time that the next case should reach the public. During the past few days our attention has been called to a case where seven girls were reported to us as having met with indignities in one office. These young women were unacquainted wjth one another and reported to their respective) employment agencies, not knowing that any other girl had met the same peril. As the office was located in the Mar quam building and the party was recom mended by an honorable professional man, we had no hesitancy in sending girls to apply for stenographers' position un accompanied. Before any adverse report had been re ceived three girls had been given this ad dress. At first all were reluctant to tell their experiences as each felt that the Incident would reflect on her character. Every girl stated that the advances were made to her before she realized their Im port. The result of our Investigation was so startling and so convincing that we felt sure the law would convict, but after a formal hearing before District Attorney Manning we are astonished to discover that fbr all our evidence. Oregon has no punishment for such an offence beyond a petty fine of from $5 to 30. The case at hand is that of D. R. Nel son, a man 67 years of age, who Is attor ney and manager of the National Finance Company, occupying suite No. 208, Mar quam building. This man answered our advertisements, which we placed in the papers for stenographers. Little Miss A., a modest, timid girl, who is an orphan and dependent upon her own resources for a living, went to Nelson's office to apply. She returned to the association in a state bordering upon hysteria and when questioned told the most astonishing story of the treat ment she had received. Her story started the Investigation. Miss A. was asked if she had parents living. She answered no. Nelson said he was glad and when asked why, replied that a girl without parents was more independent. He asked her age, and said if she had no home she could give him more of her time. He asked if she had any boy friends. The girl asked what that would be to an employer and he said that the girl he had he wanted all to himself. He said that there was not much typewriting to do. Wages were flo If she suited him. He told how kind he had been to a girl who had been in his employ and whom he had given money to go Bast. Nelson said that he had been ill and that he had a suite of rooms and the stenographer nursed him night and day, lying upon the bed with him; that he took her to the beach, and that she would travel with him and have a good time; hoped that Miss A. would accept the position, as he thought he would like her better than the other girl who had applied; was going to New York soon and would take her with him. Before making these proposal he reached over and took the little girl's purse, opened 'it and remarked to her that she had not much money. The girl had a little over a dollar in the pocket book. He then said to her, "Wouldn't a little money look good to you, dear?" and came o near that the girl was so frightened that she could scarcely move. No other person was In the office, and the door had closed by a spring lock when she entered. Miss B. applied by request of Nelson Sunday afternoon, as he said that he was going out of the city early Monday. Hesitating to go to a business office alone on Sunday, the husband of the friend where she was staying offered to accompany her. On seeing the girl with an escort Nelson was most discourteous. He Invited her to go Into the private office with him but she replied that she was perfectly willing that the friend should hear any business conversation that they might have. He asked her a few questions but did not hire her as he had the others. Having the phone number of this girl, he called up before the parties reached home and asked the wife of the gentleman If she knew that her husband was running around with the young woman that her husband came to his office with the girl and Nelson said some uncomplimentary things to the lady which she repeated to her husband upon Ills return. . The man put his pistol Into his pocket and re turned to Nelson's office but no one was there and the Incident closed, as the gentleman was leaving Portland the next day on business. Miss C. a bright, capable stenographer, arrived In Portland, coming at once to the Association, as she was anxious to procure work, her money being nearly exhausted. At this time no adverse re port had been received from the Mar quam building. She applied during the afternoon and went to work for Nelson the following morning, but was compelled to leave his office at noon on account of his indecent proposals. She soon found that she would be required to come back at 7 o'clock at night, and when she objected, he said to her: "You are hard up for money, are'nt you?" He also asked If a five-dollar gold piece would not look good to her. If she would do some light work at night. he said, he would give her the $5; that he was so lonesome. He held out to her many inducements if she would yield to him; sat Indecently near, and before she was aware of his Intention, leaned over her and kissed her. Upon this the girl rushed from his office. He paid her $1 for her attempt to work. While we revolt from publicity In these matters, we believe that the time has come when the name of 'every man who Insults the girl In his employ, and the case is positively and definitely proved against him. should be published, for there Is nothing he so much dreads. Our girls must work and they must be thrown more or less with men In offices, but it Is due to the thousands of clean, decent business men that these scoundrels who prey upon girls who are out in the world without natural protection, shall not stamp the business office with shame. We believe that the Traveler's Aid de partment of the Young Women's Chris tian Association has the admiration and respect of the business houses of Port land and that they will stand by us in this matter, even to the extent of a coat of tar and feathers. If no other means is effective in cases such as we have here mentioned. We are determined that the city shall be a safe place for an unpro tected girl to come and earn an honest living for herself and that the people of Portland are with us in the matter. Last year we placed over 800 girls in employ ment and are in position to know where of we speak. - CONSTANCE M'CORKLB, General Secretary Y. W. C. A. LOLA G. BALDWIN, Travelers' Aid Director. DENIAL FROM MR. NELSON Declares Complaints Are False and That He Will Sue for Redress. T. R. Nelson, when asked last night for a statement In regard to the com plaints of tho Travelers' Aid officers, said: "I was born In Tennessee and lived there until 189S, when I formed a part nership to practice law with the Attorney-General of this state, and moved, with my family, to Portland. Previous to my coming here I had for many years been the attorney of a Southern railway at Knoxville, Tenn. I have never misled, or attempted to mislead, a female, believing, as all Southerners do, in the enforcement of the unwrit ten law for the protection of our wom en. All who are well acquainted with me know that I have always held that if a man wanted to be mean, he should seek women who engage In the busi ness. My wife died in this city March 22 of this year, and until her last sickness was my private stenographer. I have had two stenographers in my otnee since her death, and both were refined, educated, truthful, honest and compe tent ladies, with whom I was not ashamed to associate, and was willing to take them to any public place. One has a better position than I could give her, and the other, afte.- having ! nursed me through a case of severe illness, from- which I have not yet fully recovered, is in Iowa visiting her uncle and three orphan brothers. She left here July 25, and I doubted her re turn. I was looking for a decent, pleasant, intelligent. honst and com petent woman to fill her place. I would not have a woman in my office who is not a lady in every respect, whom I could make an associate and with whom my dh.ugt-.ter and the little orphan girl my wife and self reared could not meet. 'I have no time to investigate appli cants by making outside inquiry, and therefore examine them closely as to qualifications, experience, antecedents, and test them as to decency. I usually find out what they are in this particu lar very quickly, and if they are lack ing In any of my requirements they get no place with me. '6o far, I have not found an aoDlicant whe came anywhere near what I want ed. I have also told them that the position would not be permanent If the young lady wished to return from Iowa, l nave received a telegram from her that she will start for Portland on the 12th of this month, and I thank God that my hunt for a stenographer Is ended. In my opinion, at least 90 per cent of the business men of this city have found a large proportion of the applicants for stenographic positions wholly deficient in more than one re spect. Our offices are public, and both men ana women are there many times' each day on business. It is always open to Investigation. "The entire trouble began when a fallen woman came to my office and asked for a position. I did not have one for her, and told her so as soon as I found out what she was. This made her angry, and now she has it in iur me. "I do not keep my door lncknri a. peoplo are constantly coming in and Hums out, ana tne partitions of the rooms are so thin that one in the office next to mine can hear all that goes on in my office. I Intend to sue all the parties connected with this effort to de fame my reputation before tho public " FIRE IN SHIRT FACTORY STARK - STREET BLAZE DOES $500 DAMAGE. Flames Threaten for a Time to Wipe Out Entire Block of Wooden Buildings. Crossed wires in the workshon of Charles Jacobs' Bhirt factory, at 291H Stark street, started a fire at about 11:15 o'clock last night that threatened for a time to. wipe out the frame buildings In that viShlty. The prompt arrival of the fire department in response to an alarm turned in from box 135, at Fifth and Washington streets, by Demity Sheriff Henry Parker, saved the shirt factory building from being entirely destroyed. The flames were confined to the back room, the contents of which are a total loss. Mr. Jacobs places the damage at aDoui soo, fully insured. The fire will not seriously Inconvenience him, as re pairs can be made In a few days. The building is owned by Mrs. C. Loeb. of 704 Marshall street. Her loss is small.
