"S. & S." PEOPLE
Councilman Kellaher Tries to
Enforce Independent Pack
ers Outside Limits.
BELDING MAKES CHARGES
Says Colleague's Erforts Are In
spired by Local ''Beer Trust"
Which Opposes Would
be Competitors.
If the City Council adopts a resolu
tion by Councilman Kellaher, Intro-,
duced at yesterday afternoon's session,
Schwarzschlhi & Sulzberger, the big in
dependent packers now operating in
what is known as the L. Zimmerman
plant on the Macadam road In South
Portland, will be put out of business,
or obliged to establish a plant outside
the city limits. The resolution was re
ferred to the committee on health and
police and bids fair to develop into one
of the biggest fights ever known in the
Council.
Councilman Keliaher's position on the
matter, as explained by him, is that L.
Zimmerman had no right to transfer to
the Schwarzschlld & Sulzberger Com
pany the permit to operate in the city
limits without first obtaining permis
sion from the Council to do so. In the
next place, he states, he will make a
determined fight to secure the passage
of an ordinance granting to every one
the same right to slaughter Inside the
city limits that the Council has seen fit
to bestow upon this one concern. Either
that, he declares, or he will Insist that
the Council refuse everyone a permit
to slaughter. In other words, he de
mands similar treatment for all.
That Mr. Keliaher's action is Inspired
by the Union Meat Company, otherwise
known as the "Beef Trust." was the di
rect charge made by Councilman Bel
ding, in whose ward the Schwarzschlld
& Sulzberger establishment Is located.
He made a speech of several minutes'
length, in which he charged that he
saw plainly the hand of the "beef
trust" In thi resolution to revoke the
permit of the "S. & 8." people.
"There Is absolutely no question." de
clared Mr. Beldlng. "that the Indepen
dent company's presence In Portland is
a thorn in the side of the L'nion Meal
Company. It is plain to me that the
resolution Introduced by Mr. Kellaher
is a L'nion Meat Company affair, for
that concern does not want the oppos
ing company to remain In business here.
The workingman, and the poorer
classes are getting a direct benefit,
however, from the presence here of the
independents. The price of meat is i
kept lower because there is opposition
now. If the independents should be
driven out, how long would It be before
the price of meats would be Increased?
Not long. Then the poor man would
have mighty little meat, and what he
did get would be the cheapest obtain
able. We must have the "S. & S." peo
ple here for this reason, if for no other,
and I will say that I want to see them
remain in business."
Councilman Kellaher was at a dis
advantage to reply to the statements
of Councilman Bclding, as Mayor Lane
had Just previously called Mr. Kellaher
to the chair. President Rushlight being
absent because of the death of a
brother. However, Mr. Kellaher ex
plained In brief his reasons for the res
olution, but was called to order by
Councilman Baker.
Mr. Kellaher explained that he is
going to demand equal treatment for all
at the hands of the City Council in this
regard. He said that some people had
asked for permits to slaughter in the
city liimts. but all save the big inde
pendent firm had been refused that
privilege. This, he declared, is unfair
and must be stopped. He is therefore
leading a fight to secure revocation of
the old Zimmerman permit, upon which
the "S. & S." people are operating, and
which it Is said will expire next No
vember. The Schwarzschlld & Sulzberger Com
pany hafe experienced a hard time in se
curing the privilege of operating In
Portland. Through an agent the com
pany sought to secure a franchise to
operate In the Zimmerman plant, but
the opposition was so strong that the
company wired the agent to drop the
proceedings, which was done. Later,
the announcement was made that the
company had taken over the Zimmer
man plant and would operate it. Instead
of purchasing ground for a $1,000,000
plant, as originally Intended.
Over the Zimmerman permit the
Council has long been in an uproar,
some members alleging that the Coun
cil had no authority to grant a special
permit to the plant to operate In the
city limits, as there is an ordinance
forbidding slaughtering. The matter is
now on appeal to the State Supreme
Court, but In the meantime the plant
has been In operation by Zimmerman
and later by the larger corporation.
PUT WIRES UNDERGROUND
Councilman Kellaher Fathers Reso
lution to That Effect.
Councilman Kellaher introduced be
fore the City Council, at its afternoon
session yesterday, a resolution, order
ing all wires and rabies of ha several
companies to put their wires on Haw
thorne avenue under ground by No
vember 1. 1908. It was referred to the
committee on streets. It is the begin
ning of a movement to compel the con
cerns to put all wires and cables on
the East side in underground conduits
ahead of hard-surface pavements.
The Kellaher resolution specifies
only Hawthorne avenue, but the au
thor states that his idea is that this
can be amended at any time to meet
the advance of hard-surface pave
ments all over the East Side. The ac
tion was taken at this time because
there Is under way an asphalt pave
ment, from East Third street to East
Sixty-fourth street, on Hawthorne,
and it is the desire that the wires shall
go under ground before the pavement
Is laid.
"It is simply a chance for the rail
way, telephone and telegraph people,
and all owning high-voltage wires and
cables, to show their Interest in the
welfare of the city," said Councilman
Kellaher. "If they evince a disposi
tion to act quickly and without force
In complying with the will of the peo
ple for this Improved service, it will
be all right but If they refuse and
treat the movement with little con
sideration, then the people will make
them put the wires under ground at
the June election without the least
tioubt."
The overhead wire systems main
tained in Portland have proved very
troublesome and dangerous of late, and
have become what is regarded, by Vie
firemen especially, as a nuisance and a
real menace to life and property. At
the big fire In the Abington building,
on Third street, and the recent North
End conflagration. where several
blocks were swept out, the firemen
were greatly held back In their work
by the large number of heavy-voltage
wires.
TRACKS TO COUNTRY CLUB
Council Grants Right to Lay Spurs

The City Council yesterday afternoon
granted to the O. R. & N. Company and
the Portland Railway. Light & Power
Company the right to lay spurs from
their main lines to the site of the
Country Club, on the eastern outskirts
of the city. The Council also fixed
the annual license fee of the club at
one dollar.
President G. S. Reed of the Country

ORDINANCE TOO DRASTIC
PLAN TO KEEP HAWKERS OF!
STREET DEFEATED.
Council Refuses to Listen to Plea ol
Baker and Kellaher "Tor
Business Interests.' .
Councilman Keliaher's ordinance for
bidding hawkers to operate on the city's
streets met defeat at the afternoon ses
sion of the Council yesterday. It was
too drastic, its opponents declared, and
they were sufficiently strong in numbers
to vote It down. However. Mr. Kellaher
stated later that he will "be right back
with another measure." and that he will
keep It up until he scores a victory-
Councllmen Kellaher and Baker led the
fight for the passage of the ordinance,
while Councilman. Bennett was the chief
opponent. He based his opposition on the
fact as he said, that the ordinance was
too severe. He said he favored strict
regulation of the hawkers on the streets,
especially downtown, and also favored a
high license for those operating In the
business section. He was not ready.,
however, to. vote them off the streets
entirely, he said.
"This is the time to come to the as
sistance of the business Interests of this
city." said Councilman Kellaher, In in
troducing his ordinance. "For years 300
merchants of Portland have petitioned
the Council to help them by driving from
the streets these hawkers. Now. if we
are ever going to do anything for those
merchants, who have to compete with
the street venders, this is the time to
do it."
"I am not ready to vote for such a
drastic ordinance." said Mr. Bennett. "I
agree that the hawkers are a nuisance
on the downtown streets, but I think
they should be allowed to'operate on the
residence streets. Perhaps a higher li
cense should be fixed for downtown dis
tricts. "If this were a moral Issue. said
Councilman Baker, in whose ward many
merchants operate who have petitioned
the Council for relief, "you would all want
to get in line and vote. If It were a case
you could make a fuss about and get
recognition from the churches, then. I
say. you would all be In line. But now
that it Is a measure for the relief of the
business interests, you want to sidestep
it. This privilege that is extended to the
hawkers here Is not given In any other
city in this country. I have visited every
place of prominence, and never have I
found one that allows hawking right in
the main streets of the city, as we do.
Now. here is the opportunity to relieve
the business men, who are paying high
rents, high operating expenses and every
thing that is required to make up a
mercantile business. as against the
hawkers, whose expenses-are light. Show
your fair arid square mind by voting for
the passage of the ordinance."

of the material.
PAVING TRUST GAIXS POINT
Council Orders Improvement As
sessment In Spite of Protest. .
Councilman Keliaher's fight against the
Warren Construction Company, which
lays the bitulithic pavement, bobbed up
in the City Council yesterday. Council
man Annand moved the passage of an
assessment ordinance, for the recently
laid improvement on Jefferson street.
Mr. Kellaher objected, saying that the re
monstrance by J. C. Friendly and Jacob
Rosenthal should prevent tills, until an
adjustment had been reached. However,
the ordinance carried.
Mr. Friendly and Mr. Rosenthal were
before the street committee of the Coun
cil last Friday afternoon, and charged
that some Belgian blocks had been re
moved from the crosswalk in front of
the property on this particular piece of
Improvement, for which the company
had never compensated them, although
full rates had"been charged for the bitu
lithic pavement. The matter was re
ferred to the City Engineer for a report
at that time, which has not yet been
received.
"I think this assessment ordinance
should not be passed until this matter of
the Belgian blocks has been adjusted,"
said Councilman Kellaher. "When property-owners
enter objections to Improve
ments It is our first duty to protect
them." -
"Mr. Friendly and Mr. Rosenthal make
it a business to remonstrate against every
improvement laid on streets wherein they
are Interested," declared Mr. Annand. re

spoke up, and said that the blocks had

prior to the laying of the improvement,
and said that the company never intended

"This is simply another means to worry
the company." said Mr. Shannon, where

WOULD ANNUL FRANCHISE
Councilman Kellaher Attacks Grant
to Hydraulic Elevator Company.
The first effort by Councilman Kellaher,
chairman of the special franchise com
mittee that is working by direction of
Mayor Lane, to secure revocation of the
franchise of the Portland Railway, Light
& Power Company to operate a hydraulic
elevator service was taken in the Council
session yesterday afternoon. He Intro
duced a resolution, revoking the grant,
which was referred to the street com
mittee for investigation.
This franchise was granted to the Port
land Hydraulic Elevator Company many
years ago. and held by that firm until
recently, when It was taken over by the
railway company. The latter corporation
at once discontinued the elevator service.
but still holds the franchise. It Is now
the object of the Mayor's special com
mittee to secure revocation of this grant,
inasmuch as the company has dismantled
the plant and will not furnish any more
water for hydraulic elevators.
"There is no reason on earth why the
Portland Railway, Light & Power Com
pany should retain that franchise, after
Kamantlini- thA Tllflnt AJld Ceasing all
water service for elevators," said Coun
cilman Kellaher. "If it doesn't want to
continue in the business, let it give up the
franchise. My object in introducing the
resolution is to bring the matter before
the Council, so that some action may be
taken."
Vacation for City Employes.
The City Council at its session yester
day afternoon voted an annual vacation
of 15 days to each city employe. Those
who have had ten days thus far this
year are therefore entitled to five more,
as the new rule takes effect January 1,
190S. Heretofore the police and firemen
were the only city employes allowed 15
days. Upon the ' suggestion of Mayor
Lane the Council also granted authority
to the Executive Board to employ as
sistants to fill the vacancies of those on
vacation, so that the work may not fall
behind in their absence.
Will Attend Astoria Regatta.
An invitation to visit the Astoria re
gatta, officially extended by George S.
Shepherd, Admiral of the fleet, was ac
cepted by the City Council yesterday
afternoon. They are to attend in a body,
with Mayor Lane and the members of
the City Executive Board.
PROVE WHITE ELEPHANT
CHy Council Wonders What to Do
With Public Baths.
"The baths are a lemon." said Coun
cilman Kellaher, when the City Council
was discussing the subject of the free
public bathing establishment recently
taken over by the city for operation.
"I do not know just what should be
done, unless we could give the baths
back to the doners," said Mayor Lane.
More money was sought by the Park
Board, which has charge of the baths.
It is needed for repairs and maintenance.
Since the establishment was taken over
by the City Council It has been found
that It Is In bad condition; that it stands
in need of repairs to a considerable ex
tent, and that It is doubtful whether it
will be worth anything after this sea
son. After discussing the matter for
some time the Council passed an ordi
nance, appropriating 500 from the park
fund for maintenance, moving and re
pairs. In addition to the poor condition of the
bath-house the officials have been at
great trouble to secure a fit place to
moor the establishment, the river being
lined with sewers on both sides. It is
certain the present Bite, at the foot of
Jefferson etreet. will not do. as the sew
age is too great at that point. A loca
tion at the foot of East Salmon street
is believed to be the best and it will cost
money to have the towing done. The
bath-house has cost considerable already.
The Councllmen are not very well pleased
over the situation.

Action on Bonds.
COMPLAIN OF RED TAPE
Business Agent Kelly, of Iron Trades
Council, Says That There Is Gen
eral Dissatisfaction in.
Local Iiabor Circles. -
General dissatisfaction exists in
labor circles because of the delay in
instituting proceedings In the bond
issues, and especially the one which
provides 3,o;)0,000 for the construc
tion of a second pipe line from Bull
Run and sufficient reservoirs to store
the water. For some time various
unions have been interesting them
selves in the matter, with a view to
securing action that would furnish
employment to members of the unions
needed to Mo -the work.
The Iron Trades Council is particu
larly interested, and has been repre
ented at the various committee and
board meetings at the City Hall this
week by M. J. Kelly, business agent
for that organization. He whs present
at the City Water Board session Tues
day afternoon, and urged promptness
n starting the work on the pipe line,
and also the use of steel-riveted pipe.
No attention was paid to what he had
to say. In fact. Mayor Lane refused
to allow him to proceed with his
speech, saying that it is too early to
hear arguments. Mr. Kelly replied
that he wanted to "see some speed."
Statement From Labor Men.
In an interview yesterday afternoon
Mr. Kelly stated that the Water Board
should have had Its data all ready, so
that, after the legality of the bond is
sues was announced, it could have
ordered at once a report to the Council
on the amounts required for the work.
Mr. Kelly said:
"The various committees working for
organized labor on the Bull Run pipe
line were very much Interested in the
proceedings of the different branches
of the city government during the past
few days, and much unfavorable com
ment was heard on the amount of red
tape that must be unwound before
work on the sadly-needed Improvement
can be started. When the litigation
was decided by the Supreme Court the
Iron Trade Council went to consider
able expense to secure data and bring
the matter before the various organi
zations and the affiliated unions of
the city and a great deal of enthusi
asm was displayed. Owing to the fact
that residents from all the suburbs
were sadly in need of additional water
it was supposed that the Water Board
had all available data on the question.
An ordinance was passed a year ago
authorizing the ways and means com
mittee to advertise for .bids on the
bond Issue, and when the litigation
was decided, the committee was asked
to give the matter Immediate atten
tion. The question was raised as to the
amount needed for the water services
and the matter now Is up to the Water
Board for estimate.
Work Will Take Time.
"The superintendent informed the
committee that the engineers de
partment was working on the esti
mates, and that It would take at least
four weeks and possibly longer to con
clude the work, and the prospects are
that, with four weeks' delay In that
department, four weeks in advertising
the bonds and getting in the bids for
the work, three months In getting the
machinery and material, the work may
possibly be started next January on
a project that has been needed for
two years. Organized labor Is getting
a liberal education on the workings of
the present city charter and It will not
forget, especially as the shops of the
city are practically shut down and
many are unemployed."

Resignation Is Contemplated

County Commissioner Frank C.

that he has been seriously contemplat

should he do so, it would be because
his business demanded more of his time
than he could give while acting in the
capacity of a county official.
Mr. Barnes has just returned from a

his three salmon canneries. He reports
that the work Is about finished for the

HAWTHORNE SPRINGS WATER
PROVES TROUBLESOME.
Authorities Doubtful Whether to
Run It Into Sewer or I'se It to
Beautify Park.
What to do with the water that
flows from Hawthorne springs is a
question that Is causing a good deal
of worry among members of the Park
Board and City Council. Some wish
to have the water saved to beautify
the park, although it is admittedly
tainted and could not be used for
drinking purposes, while others believe
it should be run into the sewer. The
Council, upon motion of Councilman
Kellaher, yesterday morning passed an
ordinance appropriating $1000 for the
use of the City Engineer in caring for
the water, the plan in this Instance
being to run it into the sewer.
It is believed that Mayor Lane and
members of the Park Board will enter
an objection to running the water
from the springs into the sewer, and
that they will make an effort to con
serve the water supply and to con
tinue its flow through the stream for
beautifying the park.

is believed that it is onn ot the most

be had as one of the scenic pieces for

decided by the Board to recommend
Its purchase by the city at an early
date. It Is not only pretty, but it is
iiighly valuable, it is admitted.
Mayor I.ane, at a recent meeting of
the Park Board, declared that it would
be a great thing if the city could
purchase this property, arrange for the
continued flowing of the stream
through tho park and yet kei p the

flowing stream that adds to this park
an attraction not to be had elsewhere
