THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, 1907. OLD STORY; MORE :paysshorterhoors Coal Miners Ask 15 Per Cent Increase and Shorter .; Working Day. CANNOT AFFORD INCREASE f Operators Say They Have Already Granted Two Raises and Another Would Cause Them to Lose Money on Their Contracts. SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 14. (Spe l rial.) Coal operators "were asked to ! day to agree to an Increase in miners -wages that will average 15 per cent ' and to agree to a modification of the rule covering the working day that is declared by the operators to he , equivalent to a reduction from eight to six or six and one-half hours. The demands were submitted to the op erators at a conference between the 5 coai company representatives and the ; Vnlted Mine Workers in session here. - The schedule of wages the union asits ' was handed to the operators Just be fore noon and It is improbable an answer will be returned for some time. The operators will figure out the effect of the increase in each mine. It Is certain the operators will not ngree to the full demands of the union. i The big companies all have coal con tracts that could not be filled at the new wage schedule and the reduction . In the working time would result in a curtailment of from 20 to 25 per ; cent of the output, something the I trade will not stand. Want Time for Lunch. At present an eight-hour day is granted by nearly all the mines of the i state. Time is computed from the hour the miners reach the face of the workings, and the day ends when they leave work. Eight hours' actual work in the mine is demanded. Under the : new rule the United Mine Workers ' are attempting to enforce, time would commence when the men reached the top of the shaft and half an hour would be taken out for lunch. It is "figured by operators that it requires . one and one-half to two hours to reach the face of the workings and return, and to take advantage of the half hour lunch concession. The demand of the union that this time be charged to the company means a loss of from 21 to 25 per cent of the work the miners accomplish. The miners failed last Winter in an attempt to force a bill through the Legislature t6 limit work to lght hours a day. (sThe new wage scale presented by the rrttfrs- union is a complicated one, ef fecting 'a new grading of the men in mine work. In some classes the proposed Increase runs as high as 30 per cenv " while on other men it is graded down to 10 per cent. From the examination made of the new schedule It is figured the wage increase averages 15 per cent. Cannot Afford an Increase. Coal operators show that they have - granted two voluntary wage Increases this year. The last was a 20 per cent In crease, effective June 1. To add another 15 per cent now and to cut down the working time, operators insist, would make it utterly impossible to nil impor tant contracts. Operators are not apt to concede the two demands of the miners' union and they believe a compromise can be effected. It is probable the conferences between the operators and the miners will be prolonged for a wek or two and by that time the operators believe a com promise can be worked out. There Is not much prospect that the operators will k grant the full demands of the union. The big coal operators use the Pacific Coast Company mines as an illustration of their predicament. The Pacific Coast Company averages less than S3 a ton for the coal it produces. The percentage of high-priced domestic coal even in the best mines runs below 20 per cent and the contract prices for the great output of mine run and screenings brings the average price below $3 a ton. It Is fig ured by the operators that contracts on this basis would leave no margain above the cost of production if the miners' de mands were granted. BASED OS ILLEGAL DIVORCE Suit for Interest in Farm Hinges on Old Records. SALEM. Or., Aug. 14. (Special.) Upon the contradictory evidence of an invalid service of summons by publi cation in a divorce suit between Mrs. Mary Hershberger and Jacob Hersh berger, in 1875, and a journal entry upon the records of the court showing that service of summons had been made by the Sheriff of Marion County, rests the question of whether or not Mrs. Hershberger, who was given a decree of divorce from her husband 32 years ago. Is entitled to a life estate in the property of her deceased husband, val ued at 117,500. The property in dispute consists of the old ,'aoob Hershberger farm, situ ated near St. Louis, In Marlon County, and consisting of 250 acres. Its value is ei"tiinntr-d at $70 par acre. Mrs. Hershberger (her supposedly divorced husband having died about a year ago and his real property having been pur chased by Jenkins Harding) brought suit to establish a life estate In the property on the ground of the Illegal ity of the divorce, setting up the con tradictory evidence of service. In p.xsJlnir upon the case, Judge Bur nett held that the publication service was invalid, but he could not dispute the journal entry of default against the defendant, Hershberger, hence ho gave judgment In favor of Harding. It Is rtatf-d that while both Mr. and Mrs. Hen hrorrer regarded the divorce de cree invalid, they lived separate and apart from the date of its granting. Upon the decision of the Supreme Court, therefore will d?pend the validity of the transfer of the title to the farm without the signature of Mrs. Hersh berger to the deed and a cash consider ation of at least $5800 weighs in the balance.

Deputy United States Commissioner John Hailey and Jack Robinson, pro prietor of a laundry In this city, en gaged In a fist-fi?ht on Court street this afternoon. The laundryman Is said to have been the aggressor In the melee, but the United States official is reported to have had the better of the encounter. It seems that a few weeks ago, dur ing the absence of Recorder Fitz Gerald In the East. Commissioner Hailey acted as recorder and In that capacity found it necessary to impose a fine upon Robinson. It was while still smarting under the sting of this disgrace that he was approached by Hailey at his place of business this afternoon and asked to pay an account, which the Commissioner had for col lection, that Robinson took the official to task.

AGAINST BOODLE LAWS Political Organization Designed to Co-operate With Corporations for Mutual Protection Not Con nected With Any Unions. SEATTLE, Aug. U (Special.) In their open letter to railroad employes the train men, who are organizing the Railroad Men's Twentieth Century Club, a polit ical organization forming in this state to oppose anti-railroad legislation and to compel the roads to grant greater favors to the men. bitterly denounce the Legis lative grafters and special interests, who, they claim, have been robbing the roads and. Indirectly, the employes. Coincident with this denunciation is an announcement that the railroad em ployes have tried uniting with other la bor unions and the plan has failed. In the future the various railroad organi zations will make their own campaign and the, State Federation of Labor will have no help from the train crews. Every branch of railway service Is recognized In the preliminary organization of the railroad employes and they claim that they can enlist the support of most of the 13,000 railroad voters In this state. Serving as committees In the railroad centers of the state are the following: Mat Sloan. 'J. McFeely, H. Dulfer. F. W. Vi t 1 i.c T r- 7 ! I t 1 1 i- i- l. 1 Bramln. C. J. Judkln, James Grant. J. W.

In' the course of the statement, the rail road men say: We hold that an act to take from the rail road company its slightest portion of just due, or that fails to accord them every right bestowed upon- our industry, opens up a sys tem of robbing the employe of his Just dues, and is a crime against a worthy and deserv ing class of toilers. Inasmuch as the, em ploye is most seriously Injured by hostile enactments, we have Just cause to complain. The means applied to extort money from the earnings of the railroads Is too often hidden from the public view. The conspir ators escape punishment and avoid the cen sure they so richly deserve. The reprehen sible practice of being "bought off can be suppressed by the army of employes exer cising their legitimate rights to protest; not to be wholly unconcerned -while their porkets are being picked. If It were pos sible to state In positive terms or to secure the real facts and figures showing the actual sum of money paid each year by the railroads into the hands of this organized gang of robber statesmen, mostly known in the state of Washington as manufacturing and mill men. the amount would astonish the world. The money cannot reach the handB of these professional -robbers until it hss reached the treasure earned by the em ployes. Should Get After Boodlers. Employes engaged In this hasardous oc cupation, encountering the hardships, facing the dangers, enduring the misery and suf fering of this fearless calling, find the ras cally boodler who performs no service of value whatever. If railway employes were to direct their efforts against the real enemy, there is no worthier cause In which to expend energy or protective means or de prive any unworthy class of Ill-gotten gain than to concentrate their strength for the overthrow of this element. If this were done, many legislative boodjera would be out of a job and the employes would get more of the consideration that Is due them from the emploj-ers" Should railway employers co-operate with their employes in combating hostile legisla tion? This question could be best answered i oy reviewing me pages or tne past. The ; question of antagonism has been popular, j but unprofitable. Railroad companies In a gTeat measure-, contribute toward their pres 1 ent condition by giving to the enemy;" their employes have unscrupulous legislation and i often an unreasonable public to deal with. and should at least have the support of the employers. They should be considered friends and no aid should be given to any measure that is calculated to destroy the earning power of the corporation which furnishes market for labor. Railroad employes have for a long time failed to appreciate the importance of guarding their Investment against hostile legislation. They now find their business cursed by ruinous enactment Employes and employers are both at fault for the feeling of bitterness that exists between the two forces, which In the past have been so closely associated and will In the future be two distinct bodies. Both Parties Must Combine. Business principle and business laws have ; both been violated and outraged. It la the i"pe ui ninny ciupiujea mui upon me ruins of the past folly a mddern and more per manent institution may be built. Relief. If It comes, must be secured by peaceful meth ods through the ballot and concert of actloir between those who supply the cash and those who furnish the physical force to keep it In motion. Railway employes have been, and are, driven near to industrial bankruptcy in this state by vicious legislation, to a great ex tent the outcome of their own Indifference and neglect. ' It is painfully true that railway em ployes, by their inaction and failure to stand fearlessly in defense of their rights, have encouraged the organization of legis lative Doodling, which Is permitted to con tinue to exist and threaten the destruction of much good property and the means of giving thousands good employment. HORSE THIEVES ARE ACTIVE Pick Up Stray Horses and Add Them - to Their Bands. NORTH YAKIMA, Wash.. Aug. 14. (Special.) Extensive thefts of horses and cattle are reported by the ranchers of the Tieton Basin and of all the country lying between here and Chehalls. It is said that certain horsemen who have been driving bands of cattle over the "nilla to the Sound have acquired the habit - of picking up all stray animals that cross their trail and that bands of 40 or 50 horses leaving here amount to 60 or 70 head by the time they reach Chehalis. Sheriff Edwards, of this county, says that he has received a great many com plaints and that he has made inquiries which satisfy him that many animals have been stolen. At the same time he says that it Is exceedingly difficult to se cure the required testimony against the thieves, especially as many of the ranch ers are inclined to be afraid of the horse men and hesitate to give them away. Information is brought here to the efTect that certain suspected persons have been very -active of late and they are likely to fall into the traps prepared for, them by the authorities. BRAVES THE AIR FOR FUNDS Aeronaut's Widow Trying to. Pay Husband's Funeral Expenses. OGDEN, Utah, Aug. 14. (Special.) A most pathetic feature In the death of William J. Goda, an aeronaut who made a fatal ascension at Ogden recentlyrls the widow's effort to defray the funeral ex penses by making ascensions herself. Mrs. Goda's first statement after her husband's accident was that she would make no more ascensions, though her livelihood had been made In that way for seven years. But when he died three days later and she faced her penniless condition she resolved to continue the dangerous feats until her debts were paid. , Goda was an -aeronaut of 17 years ex perience and had formerly been In the employ of Barnum and Bailey until he achieved a reputation for bravery and daring, when he branched out for him self. He made 657 ascensions, only seven of which resulted In accidents. He was a native of Washington and 3S years old. Mr. and Mrs. Goda had both been mak ing ascensions In Ogden for several weeks that were considered unusually dangerous because of being at the mouth of the Ogden River Canyon. Upon his last ascent the knife with which he was to cut the parachute from the balloon became loosened from Its fastening, and, strik ing him on the head, rendered him un conscious sohat he failed to keep from falling on some live wires in that vicin ity as he made the descent. CHINESE GIRLS TO BE TRAINED Twenty Coming Next Month for American Education. SEATTLE, Aug. 14. (Special.) Twenty Chinese girls of prominent Shanghai fam ilies are coming to Seattle on the Hill liner Minnesota next month to enter school In this country.

Chinese In Seattle liave been advised the 20 girls coming on the Minnesota are to be equipped to return to their home country either as teachers or as medical practitioners. It is probable most of them will be fitted as -teachers to take charge of girls' schools In China. It is only recently that the Chinese government has permitted girl3 to com plete a thorough education In the Chinese schools and all of the 20 have been given the advantage of as complete a training as any of the men in China get. Their special course in this country is planned to give them a thorough grounding In American ways and education. Though recruited almost entirely from Shanghai, the party of 20 Is said to represent the highest families in that section of China. Some of the girls come from official fam ilies, while the others are daughters of wealthy merchants dealing In Canton province. Falls "00 Feet to Death. SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 14. A re port from Rossland, B. C, has been re ceived containing the news of the death of John Covello. The man was a miner employed In the White Bear mine and fell 700 feet down the shaft.

He was riding in the skip when he accidentally fell near the 300-fot level and dropped to the 1000-foot level. The man was a native of Italy. T LAND BADLY Crowds Wait All. Night Offioe to Open. for BRIBERY N0T ALLOWED Policemen Keep Order in Line and No One Is Permitted to Take Another's Place Attempts at Cheating All Fall. SPOKANE. Wash.. Aug. 14. (Special.) Following the all-night watch of home seekers waiting for the Land -Office to open at 9 o'clock Wednesday morning, the locjal office force was kept busy dur ing the entire day with persons waiting to file either pn timber or homesteads in the Priest River reserve. When the office opened at 9 o'clock four policemen were on duty to see that order prevailed and that no one forced himself ahead of his number given the nighti before. At 10 o'clock the line had thinned so that three officers could .keep them In line during the remainder of the day. Out of the 103 persons who went through the office, 68 persons were suc cessful and that number of filings was put on record. Of this number 75 were timber filings, while, the remainder were homesteads. Of the 15 who were unsuccessful, most of these were because of other filings. The applicants were taken to the office in crowds of 10, accompanied by an officer, whose duty It was to see that no one not provided with a number would find a place in the line. Mrs. t. M. Reed, an old lady 75 years of age, who remained In line during the greater part of the night, was successful In getting the claim she wanted. Lewis H. Fox, . who had waited since S o'clock Monday morning. was tne first person to- file and he was successful In getting the claim he de sired. During the evening and after the applicants had been asked to leave the building, a crowd of men erected a scaf fold in . the rear of the building and gained an entrance. It was their inten tion to remain in the building until the office opened. They were detected, how ever, and their plans were unsuccessful. One of the officers who was on duty during the day had many offers from ap plicants who desired to get ahead of those In the line. One man, more gener ous than the others, offered $50 for a de sirable place at the head of the line. Another slipped his name and number to the officer. On the slip of paper was an offer to the policeman of $10. LOCATES NEW FOREST TRAIL Will Extend From Cowlitr Pass to Road in Cowlitz Valley. NORTH YAKIMA. Aug. 14. (Special.) G. F.
