State ment of TV. J. Burns, of Balfour. Guthrie Jt Co. In a two hours' session yesterday be fore the rivers, harbor and naviga tion committee and the trustee of the Chamber of Commerce, at which the differences between the frrnlnhandlers and the shippers were discussed. It was developed that Instead of there being three firms feai'y to sltrn an agree ment and three asralnst such pro ceedings, there are five willing; to sign and only one holding out. The meeting was arranged at the instance of W. J. Burns, of Balfour. Guthrie A Co.. who. with Kerr. Glfford A Co.. and the Northwestern Ware house Interests, had not Indicated to the Grainhandlers' Union that they would sign contracts for an Increase In wages from 3i to 40 cents an bour. In response to the call there assembled Peter Kerr. Drake O'Reilly. W. B. Ayer. C. K. Curry. W. J. Burns, W. P. Wheel rlght. K. C. Knapp. Harvey Beckwith, P. Ernest Lairilaw. L. J. Wentworth. W. H. Corbett. Samuel Mears. Ben Sell ing. C. F. "jwigert and J. Y. Uanong. QucMion of I'olK'j Involved. Mr. Knapp presided and In opening the session requested Mr. Burns to make a statement of the case. Mr. Burns said: "The grainhandlers have always had a union and we have paid them 3.t cents an hour for several years, against 30 cents on Puget Sound. Now they demand 40 cents. There has been no change in the Puget Sound rate and no sjjn of a union there. The weighers and foremen arc also unionized and the men work as It suits them. The ques tion now is whether it Is policy to continue givlnc in to them, as It may lead to an advance being asked in stevedoring rates. The grainhandlers make about 13. IS a day or from 11) to $: a week and get steady work a great part of the time. I think the question Is whether this shall continue or be regulated. "It Is a general question that affects the community at large and Just such things kill building up the port and having a big fleet of ships here." Mr. Knarp asked If It were not a fact that three of the six exporting firms had agreed to pay the scale. "That seems to be the situation, said Mr. Burns. Port's Krfort-- Nullified. Mr. Swtgert spoke of the fact the Port of Portland was taxing property owners $330. 900 annually to Improve the harbor, nad shouldered the differ ential on wheat that existed for a time as compared with Puget Sound, had provided means of caring for ballast and other things that placed Portland on an equal basis. "Now It appears we are going to let 150 men nullify ail that by asking an Increase that means lt cents more an hour than Is paid at Tacoma." he said. "The grainhandlers are classed as com mon laborers, and the tendency Is to pay 4 a riav when the ruling wage for work Is I.'.IJ.' . Mr. Swlgert. touching on tue ques tion of unskilled labor, ri'ed an In stance dealing with the docking of the British steamer Olenlee on the Port of Portland drydock recently, saying that the work of cleaning and painting her was done by nonunion men: that tt was the only time In the history of the dock that a steamer was raised and floated In one day with the work completed, as In the past the labor had been pros ecuted by union workmen. He also said that Puget Sound did not spend money for harbor Improvements, dredg ing, towing, pilots and other benefits Mr. Uanong ventured the remark that the committee labored under a mis apprehension, as none of the firms had signed contracts. Mr. Beckwith said that he did not think there was any thing to be done by the commercial bodies until the exporters got together. Mr. Ganong was asked to state the position of the Portland Flouring Mills Company, and suggested that Mr. Wil cox be Invited. Mr. Wllcov said: "Perhaps It Is not generally known to you that the exporters have been under contracts with the grainhandlers for several years and each year the question of the contract has come up. Last year It was agreed that the con tract should be aliened to expire April I. Instead of in August, and this year the grainhandlers wanted 40 rents an hour, which they have Invariably asked for. but were usually talked out of. (ralnhandler Not Answered. cents, but not to sign with the union. This is but a side ibsue of ISO men, but it would have Involved the entire water front, which would lead to dif ficulty In securing vessels. After 10 years' work in Portland I did not feel like sending the business to Puget Sound. "Mr. Kerr told me privately that he would rather pay 40 cents than have a strike, but when we held a meeting he said nothing of it Monday the grain handlers Insisted on a reply and said that they were to hold a meeting to consider the question Tuesday night- had a ship waiting for cargo, as did Mr. Curry, but neither Mr. Burns nor Mr. Kerr had vessels, and they did not In form me of the notice received from the grainhandlers. Higher Wage Defended. "Consequently, I thought that If the exporters were going to take matters into their own hands. I would manage mine. I would have Insisted on the payment of 40 cents or would have withdrawn from the Exporters' Asso ciation. I regard 40 cents as a reason - ble wage, and the men will not be able to feed and clothe themselves long at that, for they did not average 150 a month last year. I propose to take care of my business and of the good name or Portland. I don't consider that It makes any airrerence what Is paid on Puget Sound. v hlle we are not large exporters, we buy as much wheat as anyone, and mill considerable, and I believe that the ac tion I have taken averted a general waterfront strike, and so far as the wheat going to Puget Sound that Is an osolute Impossibility." "So far as Mr. Wilcox taking the re sponsibility of saving wheat from going to Puget Sound, that Is a big undertak ing," said Mr. Burns. Portland Labor Superior. I feel perfectly able to handle It," re- olned Mr. Wilcox. "I will say this. that 6 cents more has always been con ceded here, as the grainhandlers are xperlenced and on Puget Sound thev have scrub labor, so really there is no difference In the cost of handling. It is not a question of unionism, but ilmDly one of wages. When this community is prepared to discard union labor as the proper thing to do, I will be for the open nop. "I'm willing to stand together and clear it up." said Mr. Burns. "It would be a hard fight unless we are united, and I think It Is too late in the season to stand together," said Mr. Kerr. "Concede the 40 cents until April 1 and BECEIVER'S REPORT SHOWS FINANCES :- Books of Man in Charge of Oregon Trust & Savings Bank Are Audited.

Indicated that they would work for a change in tie present system, to prevent the holders of patents for various kinds of pave ments from monopolizing contracts even though the city has put limita tions on the amount to be paid for hard-surface work. The question of adopting a system for getting competitive bids for hard surface street work has troubled the city authorities for several years. If the property-owners demanded a cer tain kind of patent pavement on their street, the Council has generally found It necessary to conform to their wishes. although the holders of the patent alone could bid on the work. At the time when Georgre H. Will lams was Mayor, a plan for- getting competitive bids was adopted, and un der it the contract was let for the pav ing; of Yamhill street. By this plan the Council simply asked for bids for hard-surface pavement for the street, and when the various companies pre sented the bids for their respective pavements the award was made to the company giving what seemed to be the best inducement, the quality of the pavement being taken into considera tion. Contractors contended at that time that the method adopted by the Coun cil was not legal under the charter, and the plan was finally abandoned. "The contractors will always put up the fight against competitive bidding on the ground that there is a legal obstacle involved," said Councilman Devlin yesterday, "but I am positive that there Is no legal objection to the plan used in letting the paving of Yamhill street. If the charter does stand in the way. It is up to the peo ple to change It to permit competition for their own benefit. "I know It to be a fact that property- owners have sold their influence to contractors in order to get their neigh bors to petition for a certain kind of pavement, against which there could be no competitive bidding. A system providing for advertising for bids on all kinds of hard pavement for each improvement would eliminate this evil." then the exporters will have new busl ness to bid on and they ran reduce the scale to S3 or 30 cents, and then we can get other men. force down wages and bring them to time." said Mr. Wilcox. "As Mr. Wilcox says 40 cents is a fair wage, you'll never get the community to stand together in a flght when the men are asking no more." declared Mr. Sell- in c It was suggested that a vote be taken on a resolution proposed by Mr. Ayer that It was "the sense of this meeting that we believe in the open shop and that It should prevail in the gralnhandltng trade." This was unanimously carried. "I am not a member of the committee, so cannot vote, but I favor the resolu tion." said Mr. Wilcox, and the meeting adjourned. LICENSE MAY BE REVOKED Council Commltte to Investigate Conditions of Quelle. Proprietors of the Quelle restaurant were sent notifications yesterday to ap pear before the license commute of the Council at 3 o'clock next Monday af ternoon, and show cause why the liq uor license owaed by the restaurant should not be revoked, owing to their recent arrests and conviction on the ground of selling liquor without meals. Chief of Police Cox was notified also to send to the committee such police men as had evidence in the matter. J. W. Caldwell, who recently testified against the character of E. J. Fait, one of the proprietors, when Fait wu ap plying for his citizenship papers, has also been summoned to be present George B. Cellars, one of the mem bers of the license committee, prompted the investigation of the Quelle. He stated last night that the charge of selling liquor without meals would be the chief charge against the Quelle restaurant, but that there would be an Investigation also of the other charges on which the proprietors had been brought before the Municipal Court. The committee will make a thorough investigation of the matter, and will then report Its findings to the Coun cil, which will meet next Wednesday morning. CLEETON CONFUSED WITH CLELAND. 'August 20 I asked Mr. Kerr, as spokesman for the K porters' Associa tion, to call a meeting with the grain handlers so that this matter could be decided and ships not be blocked in port. The grainhandlers wanted a contract for a longer period, and no an swer was made them, though that Is more than a month ago. "I'd rather pay the difference, which amounts to one-fifth of a cent a bushel, than have trouble. We were not able to reach a conclusion, though some of tlei exporters .were wlillug la par. 44 J Owing to the similarity of my name to that of John B. Cleland there seems to be a wide Impression that It is I who am opposed to Henry E. McGinn for Circuit Judge. I wish to take this occasion to heartily Indorse the candidacy of Judge McGinn for the effective work he has done In this campaign for progressive Republicanism. T. J. CLEETON. County Judge.

That the people of the Middle West ern and Eastern states are Just begin ning to find out something about Ore gon and to realize the exent of busi ness opportunities In this state, Is the belief of the promotion department of the Portland Commercial Club. In Nebraska particularly hundreds of people are disposing of their Interests in preparation to come to Oregon and making Investments, not only In and near Portland, but in all sections of the state. Oregon is the watchword down here." writes James Lowe, of Atkinson, Neb., In answer to an advertisement of the Portland Commercial Club. Mr. Lowe states that he knows of many Nebrask- ans who have the Oregon fever and have decided to come to Oregon as soon as they can. While some of the prospective Ore- gonlans have money to Invest in city property, the greater number, says Mr. Lowe, desire to purchase farming land or to take up homesteads. Irrigated tracts also are appealing to the Intend ing newcomers. It is expected many of the Nebraskans will arrive while the colonist rates are effective. PLAINTIFF IS AWARDED $50 Verdict One of Smallest Returned in Multnomah County. One of the smallest verdicts ever given in Multnomah County was returned yesterday in the Circuit Court in the case of C. H. Poppenhagen against AV. R. Reed. The case was decided in Poppenhagen's favor, hut as the ver dict is less than $50, Poppenhagen can not compel Reed to pay the costs of the suit. Poppenhagen sued for $500, saying- a suit brought by Reed In the Justice Court to recover $100 rent on Reed's place near Troutdale was malicious. He alleged Reed rented him the place for five years, agreeing during that time not to sell it. But in June, 1909. alleges Poppenhagen, he sold it to the Grand View Land Company. Reed. on the other hand, said he sold It when Poppenhagen refused to pay the rent, and sued for the same reason. A Jury In Judge Morrow's department heard the case.

Light & Power Company for being ejected from a Sellwood car one night in September, last, insisted upon keeping his feet upon the seat, ac cording to the statements of the streetcar company. The answer to his damage suit was filed yesterday. The company says the conductor passed through the car while they were going along Milwaukle street, and asked a pas senger near Innis to take his feet off the seat, which he did. Innis then placed his feet upon a seat. It Is alleged, and was ordered by the conductor to remove them, which he refused to do. At this the motorman and conductor ejected him. It is alleged, and engaged in a fist fight with him in the street. If he suffered damage. It Is alleged. It was because of his own abusive conduct. SUMMER TRAINS. Discontinued on A. & C. R. R.
