13 THE MOR7 J0 OREGOXIAN, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER So, 1907.. MASTER PLUMBERS MAKE-NEW SCALE Wages of Journeymen Will Be Reduced One Dollar a Day. MEN THREATEN TO STRIKE Two Hundred and Fifty Union Men Who Will Be Affected by This Order Will Keslst the Cut Joined as One Man. Any attempt on the part of the Master Plumbers' Association to re duce the wages of journeymen plumb ers on the first of next month will be resisted by the men affected. In fact the men declare that they will resort to a strike before they will submit to any reduction in the present scale. The employers ha-ve announced that be ginning with January 1, next, the wage of all plumbers employed in the city will be reduced from $6 to $5 a day. There are employed in this city 251 plumbers and, with but a very few ex ceptions, every man belongs to the union, which will act as a unit in treating with the situation. This announcement from the master plumbers, following so closely after an attempted reduction of $1 a day in the pay of plasterers, Is accepted by mem bers of the different trades unions in this city to portend a concerted move on the part of employers to disorganize labor unions in the interest of a gen eral movement to cut down the prevail ing wage schedule in all departments. It is contended by the union men that the employers of labor played an active part in precipitating the recent flurry as an essential move to'the introduc tion of reduced wages, confident that if their present help refuse to continue to work, no difficulty would be ex perienced in replacing them altogether from among the large number of work men who have been discharged from their former employment as the result of the general policy of curtailing ex penses recently announced by the rail roads and the other large employers of labor. Plumbers Well Organized. Locally, the first indication that the wage of laborers would be attacked came when the master plasterers two weeks ago announced a reduction of ft a day in the wage of these trades men. The result was that the men Struck and the controversy was ad justed by the men compromising with a cut of 50 cents a day in their wages. But the journeymen plumbers are more strongly organized ana avow they will not yield to the proposed cut in their wages without a fight. "Laborers cannot understand why these advantages should be undertaken by their employere when the contracts under which they are working have all been figured on at the present prevail ing scale for the men," said a Journey man plumber yesterday. "A cut of $1 a day In the wages paid Journeymen simply means an appropriation of a portion of the men's wages figured in the contract. The plasterers yielded to the selfish, demands of their em ployers and are virtually contributing 50 cents a day per man to the profits of the boss plasterer in addition to the original profit resulting from the con tract with the owner of the property. "When the plumbers were granted an increase in their wages from $5 to J6 a day last March, it was with the understanding that they were to con tinue to work for $5 a day on all con tracts then in progress and which had been figured on a basis of $S a day. This the plumbers have done and only men employed on work that has been contracted since have been receiving the new wage of $6 a day, paying into their union BO cents a day of their wages. The funds so raised are con verted into a 'jackpot' after the re ported plan adopted by the State Med ical Board and" apportioned among the men 'Who are working on uncompleted contracts at the old scale of $5 a day. Work on practically all of the old con tracts has been finished and the men are now employed on jobs that were taken by contractors since last March on an estimated wage basis of $6 a day. Now it is proposed to reduce the wages of all plumbers $1 a day and add that amount to the profits of the contractors. "We do riot desire to appear to be wrangling over what does not belong to us, but we are willing to leave to a disinterested public to decide whether or not this Is a fair deal. Says Strong Combine Exists. "What is more, there exists a com bination between the contractors find the wholesalers by which it Is Impossi ble for a man not on the inside to pur chase plumbing supplies. Such a con dition would prevent discharged union men from engaging in the business on their own account for the reason that if the larger contractors insisted on the observance by the wholesalers of their agreement, the small dealer could not continue in business, since he would have no place to get his supplies." A few of the contracting plumbers in this city do not belong to the Mas ter Plumbers' Association and it is not known that they will follow the lead of the organization in cutting wages. "As far as I am concerned," said A. Q. Rushlight, who employs several plumbers, "I consider it is a serious mistake to reduce the wages of work men and I do not know that I shall do so. The first intimation I had of a threatened cut by employers in the wages of these workmen was given me by one of my men. The minute you reduce the earning capacity of laborers you strike a serious blow at the prosperity of any community. Nothing kills a town more than a gen eral reduction in wages." QUITS FIRE DEPARTMENT Battalion Chief Holden Resigns After 21 Years' Service. After 21 years' service in the Portland Fire Department. Battalion Chief Lee Holden will leai the employ of the city February 1, 1908. He quits the department to take charge of the farm H. S. Rows and he recently purchased at the toll gate on the Mount Hood Road. Next month he will move his household effects to his new home. Mr. Holden has been a useful man for the Portland fire department, being a practical architect and builder. All the modern engine houses of the city were designed by him and erected under his supervision. These are No. 10. the Mac adam road: No. 11, Powell and East Thir teenth streets; No. 13, Grand avenue and Multnomah streets: 15. Portland Heights, Just finished; Sellwood. remodeled Into an engine-house; Highland, remodeled from a chemical into an engine-house; Mississippi avenue, remodeled for a chern- teal company; East Twenty-eighth and Davis streets, new engine-house; Nos. 7 and 8, remodeled; No. 9, Sunnyslde, re modeled building into an engine-house. The architects' fees on these building would have been fully $3000, which was saved to the city, besides there was a large saving in supervision. Except on the new buildings, which were built by contract, the city was out only the cost of material, the firemen doing the work. Mr. Holden leaves the department be cause he believes he can do better for himself and family. He has filed his resignation, with one request: That the horse he has driven to fires for many years may be retired on a pension and turned over to him to care for. ThU horse, has nearly ended his days of use fulness and Mr. Holden wants the pleas ure of caring for, the faithful animal. It Is not yet known who will succeed Mr. Holden as battalion chief. Offers of Charity Are 1 Repulsed People Who Live In Scows on River Spurn Gifts From Philanthropists of ob. Hill. SCOWTOWN and Nob Hill had a pas sage at arms yesterday, ' Scowtown throwing the defi to Nob Hill In a manner which may have hurt the feelings of some of the philanthropists of this city's "400," and which, if It did not, cer tainly surprised them regarding the con ditions existing in Scowtown. Scowtown, as everyone knows, is the name of the wooden shacks afloat on the waterfront, which, in a couple of places, have collected In numbers large enough to have given rise to the sobriquet Scow town. It was supposed by several ladies of wealth who reside on Nob Hill and who did not care to be known as the beneficiaries, that the residents of Scow town were very poor and in sore need, and actuated by generous impulse they called up police headquarters yesterday and asked Captain Moore if he would kindly find out if there were any fami lies in Scowtown who were in need of as sistance and to let them, know as they would take pleasure in providing Christ mas cheer in the form of money and pro visions. Captain Moore very obligingly sent two or three officers whose beats were near the river settlements to make inquiry for dt serving families in need. The tale brought back by the officers came in the way of an unlooked-for and bl? surprise. "(Captain," said one of the men, "those people down there don't need any help and when we went a.-ound among them looking for some one to whom to give charity they laughed at us, saying they had good warm home?, no rent to pay, plenty to eat, lots of wcrk, and money in the hank, and that th:y didn't want any thing from Nob Hill or anywhere else except the continuance of the jobs their men held. Several of the houses we went Into were well furnished and the oc cupants live in comfortable style. They have a boat which Is a veritable river store and which visits them daily with groceries, meats and vegetables and are able to buy the best in the land If they want it. The boat is a stern-wheeler and has a sign on her marked "Gro ceries." Inquiry developed that most of the resi dents of Scowtown were working men, such as longshoremen, mill hands, etc., who have steady jobs and earn for the most part, good wages, and that contrary to the general impression, Scowtown is not populated with beggars and the pov erty stricken. Captain Moore was com pelled to Inform the society ladies that their offer of Christmas gifts had been rejected. CREST IS BELOW SALEM Predicted That Willamette Will Be gin to Subside After Today. Unless the rain storms reported in Southern Oregon yesterday were heavier than seems likely, the Willamette- River will gradually subside after today. It is expected to linger around the 14-foot level today. All smaller streams through out the valley have been pouring un usually large volumes of water into the river during the past few days, bringing the Willamette up with a rush. However, the crest of the flood was below Salem last night and is expected to reach Port land today. Owing to the widening of the river in the lower valley, the freshet Is not expected to cause any damage. The rains of the past few days have been warm and have melted considerable snow in the foothills.' This water has poured into the Willamette through the smaller tributary streams and helped raise the river almost to the danger point. i Forecaster Beals, of the Weather Bu reau, promises that the river will remain about stationary today at Portland, when it will commence to subside. He says there is no reason to expect damage at this point or in fact anywhere along the river unless the storms in- Southern Ore gon are much more serious than are re ported. In that event the river will prob ably rise again within three days. Railroads throughout the Willamette Valley are not affected by the high stage of the Willamette, although the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company Is weighting down its tracks just above Ore gon City by placing idle cars on the rails. This will not affect traffic on the Oregon City division, as the track in danger is above that point. Minor damage by the high water is reported up the valley.

The Arabia, which was scheduled for a December sailing, will not get away before the latter part of next month. She was stormbound at Hakodate and delayed for three weeks. Foreign lumber exports for Decem ber will fall short. The Strathord will take a full cargo and the Valdivia has on board a part cargo. The lumber market Is quiet and little is in de mand. Charters are low and owners would prefer a grain charter to the continent. SAILORS OBSERVE CHRISTMAS Institute 'Society Will Give Dinner to Seafarers. Christmas will be generally observed along the waterfront today. None of the vessels in the harbor will work and the men will devote the day to the pursuit of pleasure. On board the various ships a Christmas dinner will be served and the longshoremen will spend the day at home. For the benefit of the sailors in port, the Seamen's Friend Society will give a dinner at 6 o'clock in their ' rooms on Third and Flanders streets. Arrange ments have been made for the accommo dation of 260 men and a regular Christ mas dinner will be served to them. All Bailors having a berth and regular sea men on shore,- together with the members of the Coast Seamen's Union, will be seated at the table. At the conclusion of the meal there will be a grand Christ mas tree. The boat races which had been planned for the afternoon have been postponed on account, of the heavy current in the river. If the conditions are more favorable next week the races will be pulled on New Year's day. - Tomorrow evening the ladles of the Mission to Seamen, 100 , North Front street, will give an old-fashioned Christ mas party for the sailors. The chapel has been decorated for the occasion and a large tree, . lighted with small electric lights, will be one of the features. Re freshments will be served from long ta bles. Chaplain Bernays of the Seamen's Institute is in receipt of two new billiard tables; 'one the gift of T. W. B. London, of Balfour, Guthrie & Co., and the other purchased by subscription. FREXCH BARK HITS DREDGE Marthe Roux Drifts Broadside Down the River. The French bark Marthe Roux. in tow of the steamers Ocklahama and M. F. Henderson, drifted broadside onto the dredge Columbia, below the coal bunk ers, yesterday morning, inflicting consid erable damage on the dredge and staving one of her own bulwark plates. The dam age is not sufficient to hold the vessel In port and the damage to the dredge has not been determined. The Marthe Roux finished loading Mon day night at Montgomery dock No. 2, and her agents ordered a boat to set her In the stream at 7 o'clock yesterday morn ing. The Ocklahama made fast to the bark, which was headed down stream. The Henderson had two lines on the bow to steady her. There is a stiff current in the river and quantities of drift are running. A heavy timber got foul of the wheel of the Ocklahama and jammed her rudders. The tugboat and the bark became unmanageable and drifted rapidly down stream. The Henderson was not in a position to hold them and had to slip her lines in order to escape severe dam age. The wheel of the Ocklahama was finally cleared and the Marthe Roux was docked at the Independent bunkers outside the Eugene Schneider. The bark dented one of her bulwark plates on the port side amidships. The damage was only slight and she will not be delayed, A survey will be made today. JOSEPH CARLSON IS DROWNED Coalheaver Falls Overboard at Pa cific Coast Bankers. Joseph Carlson, a coal heaver at the Pacific Coast bunkers, fell overboard from a barge yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock and was Crowned. Several men were working on the barge and on the dock, but none of them can give any account of the accident. Two barges were laying outside the dock and were receiving coal, which was to be placed on board the steamship Costa Rica at Ainsworth dock. Carlson was one of the men engaged on the barge. In some manner he went overboard. Beyond his name and that he was a married man and lived on the East Side, little is known of Carlson. Sev eral days ago he tola a fellow work man that his wife had gone to the country to spend the holidays. His name does not appear in the directory. He had friends living on Ivy streer. but up to a late hour last night these' had not been found. Hugh Brady was engaged to drag for the body. Officials of the Pacific Coast Company are try ing to locate relatives. To Take Cargo at Aberdeen. ABERDEEN, Wash., Dec. 24. (Spe cial.)

At a meeting of the special Council committee, named to select a site for the establishment of a garbage crema tory, protests from two proposed loca tions were heard yesterday afternoon, but no definite action was taken. Dele gations from the vicinity of the foot of Davis street and the foot of Taylor street were present to urge reasons why sites in those localities should not be chosen. Dr. George H. Strowbrldge and C. K. Henry represented a long list of prop erty owners and taxpayners In the vicinity of the foot of Taylor street, and J. Couch Flanders and others spoke for the interests located around the foot ' of Davis street. - All were strongly opposed to either site for an Incinerator, and urged the usual ob jections. No new sites were offered, and It is the general belief that the committee has now before it all the locations that are likely to be proposed. Protests are in against all the places so far named, but it has been decided by the com mittee, composed of Councllmen Baker, Annand and Dunning, that a water front site will be recommended to the Council, and it is certain that if any place Is chosen it will be done over strong protests from, residents and business men, If It is anywhere down town.

MATTER GOES UP HIGHER Flant Is Classified as Wholesaler Under New Ordinance, Which Is Recommended for Passage. Will Force Vote on Floor. The liquor-license committee of the City Council . at its meeting yesterday neatly sidestepped the question whether it will be legal to license the Weinhard Brewery in view of its proximity to the Atkinson School. The new ordinance defining liquor whole salers and retailers was recom mended for passage and among those classed in the list of whole salers Is the Weinhard establishment. The next move will be to force the issue in the Council as to whether a license shall be granted, in view of the charter provision prohibiting such business within 400 feet of any school house. Councilman Drlscoll was the only member of the committee unfavorable to classification of the Weinhard Brewery and other similar establish ments as wholesalers. He demanded a minority report to the Council, when, he declared, he will fight to defeat the passage of the ordinance now recom mended by the majority on the ground that It Is unfair; that manufacturers, as he terms the Weinhard plant, should not be forced to pay the required sum of $100 a quarter, but should only pay a manufacturers' license. Incidentally, Minor Lewis, owner of the Armory Canteen Saloon, over which the controversy arose, was granted a license, and It is announced that he will move to a location just outside the "dead line" surrounding the Atkinson School. He will, by this move, avoid losing his patronage, will be in the same vicinity and has thus settled all question as to the legality of granting him a license. The question as to the Weinhard Brewery, however. Is not settled by any means, and bids fair to create all kinds of trouble. Nor that the estab lishment has been recommended by the committee for classification in the wholesale list, it will, If this report is adopted, be forced to seek a license. This will bring the issue squarely be fore the Council. City Attorney Kavanaugh has In- ,AL My fee In air uncomplicated Case.

AYER CO., Manufacturing Chemists, Lowe!1, Miss formed the members of the liquor license committee that, so long as the Atkinson School stands where it does, the Weinhard Brewery is clearly within the law, and that any license that may be granted will be null and void. Not satisfied with this advice, however, the Councllmen are still fighting over the matter of granting a license, all of which Is said to show that there is a plan under way for the brewery con cern to buy the school property, which is for sale, thus eliminating all legal obstacles and leaving the brewery where it now stands. One feature of the new ordinance now recommended by the liquor-license committee for passage is that all out-of-town breweries carrying stock of liquors In Portland storehouses must pay the same license as any of the local breweries.

In 1936 FOR MEN ONLY i Different doctors have different ideas in re gard to cures. Some call a suppression of symptoms a cure. They dose for drug effects and claim that nothing more can be done. But the real ailment remains, and will bring the symptoms back again, perhaps the same as before, or perhaps modified in some manner. I claim 'Jhat nothing less than complete eradication of disease can be a real cure. I treat to remove the disease and not merely the symptoms. I search out every root and fiber of an ailment, and I cure to stay cured. Contracted Disorders In no other ailment peculiar to men is a prompt and thorough cure so es sential. Contracted disorders tend to work backward until the most vital nerve centers become involved in the inflammation. Then follows a chronic stage that stubbornly resists all ordinary treatment. Safety de mends that every vestige of infec tion be eradicated at the earliest possible moment. My treatment is thorough. The remedies employed have a more positive action than has ever before been attained, and so perfect Is my method of application that even chronic cases yield com pletely. P. M. and 7 P. M. to 9 P.
