FENDER CASES TO
GO TO GRAND JURY
Horace Tillard Jones Makes
Formal Complaint Against
Street Railway.
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

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

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

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

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

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."
