LOCAL MAN CLAIMS 16 Nottlnchartt IVnlr Pledging; Vole, Cine Control Ioc. Mnr Sena tors Xat Tell In Choice, none lrlrRHon Is Vnlt. That there li to U t brisk flcht for th praiHancr ' the Stmt Senate at the com In lnn of the Lea-lslatura w seems certain. The contenilln; can didates will probably be Ben Selling or Multnomah ana Jay Bowerman n Ollllaro. Mr. Selllnr Is an avowed candidate and la clalminir 1 pledged votes vnoucb to elect him. Mr. Uowerrnan atill declines to sar whether be will make the race. But It Is known that the op position to Senator Selllnir Is pressing Uowerrnan to run and there seems to be a sirnic likelihood of his entering the contest. Mr. Uowerman mi a Portland visitor yesterday, m was Senator Abraham of Ltouslua. Neither was Inclined to tro Into the Impending; contest although both admitted that they will not sup port Selllns?. "I have Just come In from the buncn irrass country where I've been occupied with personal matters." protested ilr. Bowerman. "I am thorouithly out of touch with the organization of the Le-Ilature." While the Impression prevail anions; (Senators of the Multnomah delegation that their choice, aelllns;. will win on the first ballot there la. nevertheless, no basis for predlconsr that outcome as a certainty at this time. It will be very close, at least, whether the opposition centers on Senator Bowerman. Senator Abraham or someone not yet spoken of In that connection. Xolllncluiiu Not PlcdRed. In claiming 1 rotes for Senator Bell In, the vote of V. V. Nottingham Is Include-!. Mr. Nottingham denies being pleflged. "I am tied to Do one. be announced yesterday. The Selling claim to the Nottingham vote Is based uion the fact that Not tingham has said he would vote with the Multnomah delegation, others of the Multnomah delegation. St. It. A I Nee. J. K.

"We cannot be expected, however, to deliver through the city on the day be fore Christmas a quantity of mall that would require a week of ordinary de liveries. The Indication now are that Tort land will do an unrecedented mall busi ness lor the holiday season, and our men are alt keyed up to do their part, fcxtra clerks are being put on In all the departments and we will have all the extra carrier we will be permitted to employ." Last year It required two weeks- time to clear out the Christmas presents that accumulated In the delivery room of the Portland offl-e and were directed to Portlanders. Three hundred sacks of gifts were undelivered on the day after Christmas. That fact I considered a Jus tification of the action of Portland poslsl officials In urging patrons to send their parcels at once. Every other poatofflce In the country was stuck. 'Sometlmiw patrons overlook the fact that letters will be delivered more promptly than packages.' said Mnll Superintendent Jones. "Letters are flrst rlasa. while most parcels are fourth rlasa. Therefore letters, during the holi day season, often reach a person day prior to the parcel that 1 mailed at the same time." SOI LINES NEGLECTED ROBIXSOS Sl'CGKSTS CKVEItAL ADVERTISING FOU STATES. Le.t People Think Only Apples (.row In Oregon, Railroad Man Would Kxjxjrt Other Products. Further emphasis of the fact that Oregon Is neglecting the exploitation of It lumber, fishing, agricultural, live stock, grazing and mining Industries In Its enthusiasm of the Oregon apple was brought to the city yesterday by F. Hoblnson. general freight agent of the Oregon Railroad at Navigation t orn pany. who returned from an extenslre business visit through the agricultural and manufacturing section of the Fast. "I find that the people of the East ar deeply Interested In Oregon, said Mr. Hoblnson. "and all of them are eager to come to the state, either per manently, or to visit, at least. But I find, also, that they display a miscon ception of conditions In this section t; it 1 almost startling. Tliey seem to know all about the great apple Industry of this state, but too many are under the Impression that we have little else to demand attention. When I pointed out the fart that Ore gon waa the greatest producer of fin timber In the country, and that the salmon fisheries of the Columbia formed an Important and a profitable Industry, they recalled that t lie y had learned of tlrtJse thlnas. but that they had been crowded from their memories by the more Important publicity that had been given to the famous Spltzen- bcrg. Newtowns. Baldwins. Beu 14 rises. Arkansas Blacks and kindred va rieties of apples that have made the state famous throughout the Last. "My Intention la not to discourage the publicity that ha been given to the apple Industry. It cannot be ad verttsed too extensively, and It la de serving of every bit of attention thnt has been glveu It but It would be well to devote a little more printer' Ink to a few of the other worthy enterprises of which Oregon can boast. I think a llttie extra effort In some of these di rections, aside from that spent In sing Ing the praises of the apples, soon would make Its effect felt. Or. If the limit of the state's publicity possibili ties has been reached. It would not be unjust to divide aoiti lhat now Is being bestowed upon this leading orchard product with the other. However. I think that we can continue the cam palgn In behalf of the apple with all the rim and enterprise that we have displayed In the past, and yet have time to remove the others from a stat of comparative neglect." Mr. Robinson declared that business In the Fast waa Improving, but that th eye of all classes were turned In the direction of the Pacific Coast. ST. JOHNS TO SEE BOUT FAST BOXING MATCH SCHED.

LONG CONTROVERSY ENDED J. P. O'Brien Makes Statement Indi cating Harriman Interests Are Wearied at I-oug Delays. East Side lo I.oe Depot. O. K. N. WITHDRAWS FROM CONTEST. Statement of J. P. O'Brien. eneral. manager of tha. Oragon Railroad Si Xavlxatton Compa'nr and Southern 1'arine Company lines In Oregon: "In view of the objections raised by the substantial commercial In terests of this city, we are not dis posed to contest the matter of street varattoua on tba East Sida. and. therefore, leave tha matter to be worked out as time and business necessities of that section may Ot ter in lac'" General Manager O'Brien, of the O. R. & N. and Southern Pacific companies, yesterday issued a brief statement which at once removes from consideration by the City Council all subjects relating to street vacations und concessions sought by the liarrlman lines, over which there has raxed for many months a controver sy that haa Involved the various Inter ests of the Eait and West Sides, with the exception of the franchise for the new Steel bridge. Mr. O'Brien statement clearly shows that the lliirrlman Interests have wearied of the long-drawn-out contro versy over asked-for street vacation on the E.ist Side, which were tied up In the negotiations for concessions asked for by the city for the Broadway bridge and for 65 acre of park land In South Portland, boulevard property on the Fast Side and for sewer rights of way In var ious places. While Mr. O'Brien' statement deal only with the East Side street vacations In particular, these being now before the Council for action. It Is definitely known that It Include every subject before the Council relating to the liarrlman Inter ests as touching the Broadway bridge Negotiation. lirldge Approach Not Affected. However, the proposal of Mr. O'Brien, submitted to Mayor Simon and City At torney Grant, offering to abitl by the decision of a board of arbitrators as to the cash valuation of property wanted by the city for The Broadway bridge right of way, still stands. The company Is willing, lt Is explained, to dispose of any of lis land for rash, if that la the desire of the majority of the member of the Council, but lt I unwilling longer to attempt negotiation with the Coun rll with a hented controversy peine. waged and with opposition expressed from "substantial commercial Interest. When M.iyor Simon was Informed last night of the decision of Mr. O'Brien no kner to seek from the City Council franchises over the Fast Side streets by means of vacatlonev he said that he would nevertheless makn his report to the Council this morning as to the proposal of the company regarding the sale of property for the Broadway bridge right of way. "Inasmuch aa the company has of fered, through Mr. O'Brien, to sell whatever property we wish for the bridge right of way. 1 think It 1 my duty to report lt to the Council. It will then be for the member to take whatever action rhey deem wle." Council Given Opportunity. . The Mayor declined to make any com ment on the action of Mr. O'Brien In withdrawing front the consideration of the Council ail applications for street vacation and other concessions that he had asked for several months ago, ex cept to say that this action will give the Council an opportunity to work out the problem aa It sees fit. The "substantial commercial inter est" referred to In Mr. O'Brien' Inter view are the trustees of the Chamber of Commerce, which, last week, passed resolutions against the vacating of any streets for the railroad companies. Krcr since applications for the vaca tion of streets were made there has been persistent opposition from a cer tain faction on the Fast Side, and sev eral members of the City Council have opposed It from the start, among them being Counrllmen Imbard and Rush light, both of whom are candidates for Mayor In the coming election. Mr. Rush light, although having been elected to the Legislature, has said, since the election, that he might not resign from the Council In order to remain and fight the proposed vacations. In rlew of the action of Mr. O'Brien, It is said. Mr. Rushlight will have no further rea son for declining to resign from the Council. The large business men of the East Side, having charge of 63 firms, with a combined capital and financial outlay of 155,000.000, formally petitioned tha Council several month ago to vacate the street for the O. R. & so that the company might build a big freight depot and additional track facilities. Without these vacations the company cannot furnish these, and the mer chants of the central Fast Side section ust continue to get along without proper shipping advantages.

The case Is to test the title of the corn pany and that of the city to the disputed land. The defense contend that the street west of Grand avenue and north of Divi sion street. In 8tevens' Addition, were never dedicated and that their use waa granted to the company by an ex-Mayor of East Portland. The city will endeavor to prove that the dedication was made and that the defendant hast 6n numerous occasions, a shown by official record, recognized the existence of the streets.

WILL SPEAff IN SEATTLE After Trip to Paper Mills as Guest, With Others, of Head of Street Railway, Noted Publisher Leaves for Pugct Sound. After being feted and entertained for two days, enjoying the December sun shine and seeing the sights of Port land In addition to placing an order for 32,000,000 worth of paper with the Ore gon City paper mills, Harrison Gray Otis left last night for Seattle, where he Is scheduled to make an address on the labor subject. General Otis, as editor and owner of the Los Angeles Times. Is prominently connected with what he calls "the movement to rid the Pacific Coast of the labor monopoly and to establish Industrial freedom." li. S. Josselyn Is Host. As the special guest of B. S. Josse lyn, president of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, General Otis was given a trolley ride to Oregon City yesterday for the purpose of inspecting the large paper mills there. The trip was made in Mr. Josselyn's private car "Portland." Others Included in the party were John Kirby, Jr., president of the National Association of Manu facturers; J. P. Bird, general manager of the National Assocation of Manu facturers, both of Dayton; O.; H. L. Plt tock, M. C. Hanfield, Hugh Hume, A. L. Fish and John F. Carroll. Upon the party's return to the city General Otis was escorted to the home of General Thomas M. .Anderson (re tired), at 65 Everett street. Before leaving for Seattle last night General Otis said: "Portland is a beautiful city. It has a great future, both as a commercial center and a manufacturing point that is, if you are not affected by tne scourge of unionism; "It is time for the employers to re pel the unjust exactions of the unions. Industrial monopoly and organized la bor 1h an Industrial monopoly is a great menace. It is one of the most cruel Institutions with which the peo ple have to deal, and really one of the greatest enemies of its own kind. La bor would be far better oft without organization. Duty to Save and Protect. "It is the duty of every citizen to continue his efforts to save and pro tect men. "Keep your shop open, but watch lt lest it become a closed shop. Certainly the closed shop is a .folly. Every citi zen has lawful rights to pursue unham pered any lawful occupation in any lawful way under the protection of the power of the Nation. "Labor has no superior right because lt Is organized. On the other hand, un organized labor is entitled to all the rights for which organized labor con tends." General Otis also pointed out that of all the laboring men in the country but 15 per cent are organized into unions. He ridiculed the idea of the organized minority attempting to exercise au thority over the unorganized major ity. He said that this was unfair. "I am not opposed to organized la bor," he said, 'because lt is organized, but I am opposed to it when lt becomes unfair, unjust and unreasonable. While I have always questioned the wisdom of unionism. I never questioned the right of men to organize." Reason Is Given. He said thatthere was a reason for the organiaztion of bodies such as the Portland Employers" Association, and said that the employers have been forced to organize themselves for the purpose of combatting the strength of tho labor organizations. "Labor monopoly." he continued, "is more Infamous than the worst trust in the country. It Is more unjust and more, harmful." He dwelt particularly upon the right of each captain of industry and ho said that every employer, whether he had but two men working for him Is a cap tain of Industry has the right to conduct his own business and In the manner that he sees fit. For this reason, he staled, he is not favorable to the open shop. He warned against the establishment of open shops1, from the standpoint that they can not be depended upon.. To Illustrate this point, he took as an examDla a shoo that was operating with E0 per cent union men and 50 per cent of nonunion men. lt Is the tendency. he asserted, for the members or tne union to endeavor to get the others to join with them in their organization and that as a result an open shop soon be comes a closed shop, for the reason that as soon as the unorganized men are In duced to Join the union they can go to the employer and demand that the shop be closed. "Industrial freedom," ne aeciarea, Should be considered as precious a privilege to the American citizen and the American workingman as religious freedom or political freedom. By the continuous oppression of unorganized worklngmen by those who are or ganized we can not have tills Industrial freedom. The right of some men to work will be denied. Class distinction will be engendered and the feeling to wards the owners of wealth and the employers of labor will grow stronger among those who are unable to obtain work because they are not members of a union than among those who are organized. "The possession of wealth should not be considered a cr.ime as is being taught by some of the radical labor leaders. The very fact that a man ob tains great wealth is beneficial to everyone. The very spilling over of excess riches puts money into circula tion and promotes prosperity." Y M. C. A. HOLDS RECEPTION 2000 Persons Inspect Building and Hear Programme.
