HEAVY PENALTY INVOKED District Attorney Cameron Receives Names of Men Who Will Testify. Council Long Has Neglected to Act on Subject. The Multnomah County grand Jury will begin tomorrow an investigation of the liability of officers of the Portland Rail way, Light & Power Company for fail ure to equip streetcars with adequate life-saving fenders. District Attorney Cameron has decided to act vigorously, according to Horace Tillard Jones, the complainant. Mr. Jones has filed a complaint and called the attention of Mr. Cameron to section four of the legislative act of February. 1903. which became effective January 1. 1904. I'nder that section the District Attorney Is charged with the duty of causing the Indictment of offi cers of the company should they fall to equip their cars with the devices. A pen alty of 350 a day for each car run with out a suitable fender extending beyond the end of the vehicle at least two feet Is provided by the law. Witnesses Are Called. Mr. Jones has furnished District At torney Cameron with the names uf wit nesses. J. M. Elliott, lighthouse Inspec tor, is said to consider the fenders now in use as Inadequate. T. H. Ruddy will be willing to advise the grand jury that he considers the present equipment Inadequate, while Frank Watktns, of 409 Eleventh street, will say that the present fenders are the worst he ever saw. A. O. Rushlight will testify that sev waea a small clique of men put up a scheme to harness the clergy of America and Induce the ministers to, in turn "hitch up" the members of the churches, we should all take notice. They couldn't harness the preachers In a bad cause except by deceiving them. Ministers of the gospel are essential ly and fundamentally honest but. like all men who work for the publio good, they are at times misled by false statements. Trust them when they have exact truth to speak from. Now for the story which should In terest everyone, for we are all either receivers of wages or we pay to wage earners and the freedom of eaoh Indi vidual Is at issue. In various papers the following statement has been printed. Read It carefully at least twice. "IXTEREST I?T LABOR SUNDAY." "Labor Sunday the Sunday preced ing Labor day will be observed gen erally this year and in future years throughout the United States. This because of the American Federation of Labor declaration for the observance of that day. The numerous letters re cently received at American Federation of Labor headquarters from ministers is an assurance that interest in the Idea of giving special attention to the cause of labor from the pulpit one day in the twelve months Is widespread. Our readers are urged to try to bring about an understanding in their respective districts with representatives of the church so that ministers will make ad dresses that may attract trade union ists to the churches In large number for the day. Minister should ay what they think on the occasion In order that their trade-union hearer may put the tight estimate as to where the church stand on the question of or ganisation of labor. The more the sub ject Is discussed the better will It be for labor. Union ethics are ound." Anaerleaa Federatlonlat. Observe that "Labor Union" men "are urged" to Induce minister to make ad dresses that will attract trade union ists to the churches "for the day." "Ministers should say." etc. and winds up with "Union ethics are sound"; ob serve the hidden threat. This Is clipped from the Amerteaa FederarrJoalst, the organ of Sam Gem pers. et al- Thl clipping has been sent to paper throughout the country and the Tpyo graphioal Union men in the newspaper offices Instructed to "urge" that It be printed. That Is one of the way of tha "ma chine." It looks harmless so tha paper print It. But! Let's lift ths cover and look under. The alddea motive 1 as dangerous to the peace and liberty of the cltlxen as a coiled rattlesnake in the grass. Organization by workmen to peace fully and successfully present their lde Is necessary and most commendable. There are such organisation now rapidly winning their way to public confidence without etrlke. dynamite or killing fellow workmen. (Some facts on this matter a little further along In this article.) W'e see nere a demand on the minis ters of God, that they endorse and help build up the strike-producing, boycot ting and violent American Federation of Labor. Think of the man of God who teaches brotherly love being covertly ordered to praise and help get new member for an organization with a record for vio lence, crime and murder done by its members the like of which the world has never seen. Think of the thousands of women made widows and the increasing thou sands of children left fatherless by the pistol, club, dynamite and boot heel of members of this Labor Trust. Any one who recalls the countless murders done la tha multitude, of strikes In the past few years will agree this is no exaggeration. Take Just one as an Illustration: There were some thirty1 men mur dered and over 5000 bruised and maimed In the Chicago teamster's strike. There is seldom a day passes but somewhere In our country from one to Hoodwinking eral of the fenders submitted to the members of the City Council are better than the ones now in use. and will be supported by M. J. DrlscolL Judge Cleland will be summoned to substantiate the rumor that he recently declared from the bench that the street car company never had made an effort to comply with the law of 1903. Coroner Norden has been named by Mr. Jones as a person competent to give the names of persons who have been in jured In various fender accidents In re cent years, while the complaining wit ness says that be is ready to furnish additional facts. Dummies Worn to Shreds. "Mr. Cameron has promised to bring the subject before the grand Jury," said Mr. Jones last night, "I believe this to be the only. manner by which Immediate action can be forced. The City Council has had the ques tion under investigation for several months. If not years, and dummies In numerable have been worn to shreds in testing fenders. The net result is that the streetcar are equipped Just as they were when the agitation began. "The law provided that the District Attorney should act In event that City Councils failed to enforce the fender act. They have assuredly had sufficient time. Somebody must move, and I have as little to lose as anyone else." TAXICAB RUNSD0WN BOY Nine-Year-Old Lad Suffers Possible j concussion oi rain. Frank Jones, 9-year-old son of Mrs. J. C. Jones, who conducts the Abbot rooming-house. 228 Washington street, when crossing Washington street near Fourth yesterday, in company with bis older brother, was run down by a taxlcab driven by Frank C. Allen, of the Port land Taxlcab Company, and seriously Injured. The boy was picked up by Traffic Po liceman H. C. Bales and taken to the office of Dr. Waldemar Jindra and later carried to Good Samaritan Hospital by the policeman. At the hospital' Dr. E. H. House found that the boy suffered from a bad laceration of the scalp and posefibly concussion of the brain. The boy was struck by the mudguard of the automobile. One wheel passed over his body. Mrs. Jones was out of the city yester day and did not know of her son's acci dent. The brothers were on their way to the City Park when the accident oc curred. Working on the principle of a pair of rlspors. which It resembles. Is a new lead pencil schsrpener Invented by a Oallfomlan. One lever ends In a tube to hold a pencil while the other Is a knife blade that outs the wood. a score of our fellow men are assaulted or murdered by members of this band. Then remember the homes blown up or burned. The families hounded, the rioting, burning of streetcars, wrecking of trains' and attempted or successful killing of passengers. The general disturbance of Industry and the thousands of dollars forced from tax payers to pay extra police, sheriffs and militia to protect, even in a feeble way, the citizens from the mobs of members of the American Federa tion of Labor. Then you will realise why the great peace-loving majority of over SO mil lion Americans protest against the growth of this crime-tainted organiza tion comprising perhaps one and one half million men, of which It is esti mated at least seven-tenths are peace loving citizen and are membera by coercion and are not in sympathy with the three-tenth who have gained con trol and force their methods. We find that a few designing men have seized control of the American Federation of Labor, just as some shrewd capitalists have secured control of some railroads and other Interests and are now twisting and turning them Into machines for personal profit and fame. These men cunningly plan to force workmen to Join and pay 26 to 75 cents a month In fees. Various methods are used to "Induce" workmen to Join. First, they talk of the "tyranny of capital" making slaves of workmen. Then they work up enthusiasm about the "brotherhood of man" and other talk which experience has shown ex cites the emotions of workmen and they are Induced to "Join" and pay fees to the leaders. The SOOO workmen In Battle Creek are, as a rule, free from the dictates of the great Labor Trust and still get the highest wages In Michigan. If they had yielded to the smooth talk of the agents of the trust and Joined, they would pay In fees from 11250.00 to S2000 a month to the big trust and be subject to strike orders any time. Now they save that and put the money Into homes and family comforts. But the managers of the American Federation of Labor have worked hard and long to harness them. The trust has sent small bale of money and last Winter 18 "organiser" to tie up Battle Creek. They hired hall, gave picture shows, smokers, etc as an investment, looking to rich re turns when they succeeded in having them tied hand and foot. But they failed, and the last of these "organizers" left Battle Creek on May 1st saying "it's no use." The workmen knew the record of this great trust and formed their own asso ciation to protect their rights and also to protect them from the big Labor Philadelphia some 4000 Independ ent streetcar men, .who mainly had families, had their own union and re fused to join the big trust, preferring to be free to work or not as they pleased. But the trust planned to force them Into the fee-paying ranks, so a strike was ordered to compel the traction company to kick out these men and hire only Labor Trust members. It was not a question of -wages or hours but to push the free men out of their positions where they were earn ing good money to support their fam ilies. The strike was ordered, not to raise waares or reduce hour, remem ber, but solely to throw out members of an independent union and make places only for Labor Trust members, and thus show the Independent men they could not earn a living unless they first paid fees to the trust managers. Incidentally the people of Philadel phia must submit to no car service, rioting and bloodshed with millions In losses, while these fee-hunting, notorl etyseeklng trust leaders were teaching the world that industry cannot be car ried on except by workmen who first bend the knee, bow the head and pay fees. How these men as strike leaders love to see their names In the papers each morning! It's meat and bread to their souls. Then think of the lordly power, and CHIEF ORDERED TO CLEAN UP GRILLS Mayor Insists Moral Condition of City Must Be Much Improved. NORTH END IS DISSOLUTE Hundreds of Disorderly Persons In habit City, While Police Captains Quarrel Liquor Ordinance Not Understood by Cox. Mayor Simon is not satisfied with the moral condition of the city, and he has so stated to Chief of Police Cox. Police administration has been too lax, according to the Mayor, and, while the Chief was not directly reprimanded, he was given to understand that the situation must be improved consider ably, and that without delay. He has already Issued an order to his subordinates to "clean up" grills, and has lectured the force for "knock ing" him and others of the superior officers. "In a conference with the Chief I told him that conditions throughout the city from a moral standpoint are too lax." said the Mayor yesterday. "The disorderly women have become too demonstrative, and habitual fre quenters of the grills about the city are too bole. I do not like this situa tion, and tcld the Chief that I do not want the people of Portland to feel that the police force la not able to cope with Immorality and crime; I want the city to be clean and well conducted, and the police must see to it that it Is. I want the grills regu lated and the ordinances enforced." North End Not Cleared Up. The Mayor Is said to have been In formed that large numbers of disorder ly women are making this city their home, and that the North End district. Clergymen don't forget the steady flow of money squeezed from the workman's hard earned pay envelope. But when these leaders "tie up" any Industry no man can hold a job who re fuses to pay fines even on trumped-up charges, and steadily pay fees what ever they are. The workman is absolutely at the mercy of this band of men who have secured and hold control. Many aad many an honest workman has raised his voice and appealed to his fellows to rise and throw off the yoke of Gompers, et al. But. as one writes, "At every convention of the American Federation of Labor strong opposition comes up, but at the critical moment the Impassioned orator appears and most dramatically puts tne spot light on the leader and covers him with a mawkish film of 'martyrdom' and the emotional delegates yell In delight, for getting the instructions of the peaceful worklngmen at home who desire to free themselves from the odium of mem bership under the great advocates of strike, boycott, violence and hate." , So we see the unequalled insolence with which these trust leaders propose to "Induce" ministers to pull their chestnuts from the fire by preaching modern aggressive and violent labor trust methods. There la a better way to secure jus tice for workers, as will appear further along. Just a little diversion here. I am charged with having first brought to the attention of the publio some years ago the name "Labor Trust." A trust la a combination of men or organizations for the purpose of selling their product at a profit and restrict ing production to effect it. We will say a large Oil Company gathers In smaller ones and thus con trols production. The Labor Trust "gathers" In local trade organizations and thus has power to say how much work each man shall do. The Oil Company then fixes prices. The Labor Trust does likewise. The Oil Company may "use methods" to force an unwilling dealer to join. The Labor Trust men go further and slug the Independent man if he tries to sell his labor without paying fees and "obeying orders." They are both exactly alike in purpose, which. In both cases Is entirely selfish to gain power and money for the leaders. Certain Labor Trust members do not hesitate to use violence, dynamiting of property, burning homes of independent men and even murder to force obedi ence. The Oil Company doesnt go so far. Both are extremely dangerous to the welfare of people and communities, for power plaoed in the hands of a few men either representing Capital or Labor is almost always abused and the public suffers. Remember, reader, that your safety lies in strenuous opposition to all trusts which try to ride over, and dictate to the people. Only by opposing their growth can you retain your personal liberty. Now to ministers. The average congregation Is made up of about 90 per cent of free citizens and much less than 10 per cent of mem bers of the Labor Trust. The free citizen wants to hear words defending the rights and independence of the common man, free from the arbi trary dictates of any self-seeking or ganization either of Capital or Labor. The merchant, lawyer, school teacher, doctor, clerk, farmer and workman re bels against any forcible stopping of trains, boats, streetcars or factories, for the prosperity of the community is entirely dependent on steady continu ance of these things. Men don't like strikes, boycotts. In jured workmen or burned cars and factories. A famous divine says: "These men may hate capitalists, but their hate for other laboring men burns like a flame, eats like nitric acid. Is malignant be yond all description." Then we remember cases of acid throwing, eyes gouged out. children pursued, women stripp"ed, homes de stroyed, men murdered and the long, long list of atrocities practiced by Labor Trust members on other human which was ordered "cleaned up" one year ago, is the habitat of hundreds of them. Many disorderly houses are running all over the district north of Burnslde street, from the river to Twelfth street, according to well-informed persons. Not only Is this con dition found to exist, but It is also true that there are many such establish ments in the South End district. While Chief Cox was on his vacation. Information reached the Mayor that numerous male parasites were infesting the city and he gave instructions to Acting Chief Moore to drive them out of the city. Moore therefore isaued an order, but little was done in this connection, only a few being arrested. It is said In this connection that Jealousies between captains figured to a considerable extent and that one reason the order was not enforced was that It came from a captain. In fact, similar orders from the Chief himself have not been well enforced. It Is said. LJquor Ordinance Violated. It was but recently that the license com mittee of the Council had occasion to In vestigate conditions in a grill operated by O. !. Hull, at 223 Main street. His license was revoked. During the examina tion of policemen connected with the case. It was discovered that not even the Chief understood the ordinance governing the serving of liquor with meals, likely enough because It could not be under stood. The arresting officers said that Captain -Bailey, commanding the first night relief, hao told them not to arrest grill keepers for serving liquor with sand wiches, although City Attorney Grant ruled that this Is a clear violation of the Cellars ordinance. There have been numerous complaints against grills within the past few months, and theee evidently have moved the Mayor to demand stricter enforcement of the ordinances and he la determined to exact better moral conditions through out the city. BURGLARS ENTER STORE Sixteen Razors Are Also Taken From Woodland Barber Shop. WOODLAND, Wash, Aug. 30. (Special.) fBurgiara entered the confectionery store of C. K. Dunham and the barber shop of Mr. Teasly at this place last night. The miscreants took a small amount of merchandise from the con fectionery and 16 razors and a pair of shears from the barber; shop. They carried the cash register out In the lot back of the building before open ing it, but did not get any cash for their pains. Entrance was gained through a back window. It Is thought that the deed seas committed by local men, as had It been done by professionals, more plunder would have been taken. beings who cannot agree with the trust methods. Now for the better way. Worklngmen are now organizing in the old-fashioned trades union or "guild" way, affiliated with the Na tional Trades and Workers' Association, whose constitution provides arbitration of differences with agreement for no strikes, boycott, picketing or hateful coercion of any kind. This Trade Association has evolved from the experience of the past and is the highest order of Trades Unionism at the present day. Under Its laws it is not possible for the Hod Carriers' Union or the Street Sweepers' Union to order the school teachers or locomotive engineers to quit work In a "sympathetic strike." If any craft finds injustice, the case is presented to properly selected arbi trators, testimony taken and the case presented to the public through the press. Thereupon public opinion, that greatest of all powers, makes Itself felt and curiously enough a fair settlement is generally the result There is no strike, no loss of wages, no loss to the community and yet the faithful workers get their just treat ment. There are many details which have been worked out by men skilled In labor matters. It vrin recompense any interested man to know these details which can be se cured by a postal request for constitu tion and by-laws written to the Na tional Trades and Workers' Association, Kingman Block, Battle Creek, Mich. Reader, look carefully into this great question of the relations of Capital and Labor and Its successful solution. The new plan works and brings results for the members! I became so favorably Impressed with the trustworthiness and practicability of the leaders of this new labor move ment that I gave the Association a sanitorium at Battle Creek worth about 3400.000, and with about 300 rooms, to be used as a home for their old mem bers and the helpless babies, sometimes made fatherless by the pistol, club or boot heel of some member of the vio lent "Labor Trust." Suppose you attend church Labor Sunday and hear what your minister has to say in defense of the safety and rights of the common, everyday man. Let me ask you to read again a por tion of one of my public articles print ed a few years ago: "The people of the world have given me money enough to spend In these talks through the papers in trying to make better and safer conditions for the common people, whether the Postum business runs or not. ' Scores of letters have come to me from work-people and others, some from union men, recounting their suf-' ferings from union domination and urging that their cases be laid before the public. It will not answer for us to only sympathize with the poor, the op pressed, those who haven't power enough to drive off tyrants and resent oppression, we must help them tie the hands of the oppressors. ; Americans must act. Some of my forebears in New Eng land left comfortable homes, took with them the old flint locks, slept on the ground in rain and frost; hungry, foot sore, and half clothed they grimly pushed on where the Eternal God of Human Liberty urged them. They wove for me and for you a mantle of freedom, woven in a loom where the shuttles were cannon balls and bullets and where swords were used to pick out the tangles In the yarn. These old, sturdy granddads of ours stood by that loom until the mantle was finished, then, stained with their life blood it was handed down to us. Shall I refuse to bear It on my shoul ders because the wearing costs me a few dollars, and are you cowards enough to hide yours because some for eign labor union anarchist orders you to strip It off? T have faith that the blood of 177S still coursing in your veins will tingle and call until you awaken. Then Ameri cans will Act." "There's a Reason." C W. POST. AMU 8KM E.A '1. SEATS NOW SELLING.
