I OXDKMXATIOX MEANS DELAY
Postmaster Relieve That Higher
Price Will lie Paid.
Postmaster Merrick received a tele
gram from Washington yesterday,
confirming the newa of the eeiecilon
of block S for the new Poatofflce. and
the fact that condemnation procedinga
are to be Instituted.
The proceedings would- naturally go
through the office of United Slates Dis
trict Attorney McCourt- The Govern
ment will file the ault to condemn the
block, and evidence as to the vslue of
the property In the vicinity of block S
will be given before a Jury. The Jury
w ill then assess the value of the block.
Postmaster Merrick said yesterday
that while he thought the Government
would be obliged to pay more for the
property by bringing condemnation
procedinga than It would If It accepted
the offer of the property by the owners
to sell at t3I5,00e, yet he was glad
that thla method had been chosen by
the Washington officials, aa he thought
It will remove all suspicion of "graft."
Room Crgently Needed.
It Is believed that the condemnation
procedinga will occasion a delay of from
three to nine nonths. Mr. Merrick aaid
the Government would be obliged to
rent space for the rapidly enlarging
Poatofflce If a building la not erected
soon. The last available apace. In the
basement of the Federal building. Is
to be remodeled at once for the use of
the money order department. Mr. Mer
rick said that the rapid handling; of
mail was made possible largely by
adequate apace and equipment. Mes
sanlne floors already have been put
In for the use of the main department
of the Portland Poatofflce. Mr. Merrick
said he thought space would have to
be rented before the two years elapse
which It probably would take to build
the new Poatofflce.
It is not known whether Portland
will be put at once on the list of the
supervising architect In Wsshlngton or
whether It will have to wait until the
condemnation proceedings are over. In
that case further delay would be en
countered, as the plans for Federal
buildings must be drawn In the order
In which they are listed, so that If
Portland la No. 100 on the Hat It would
have to wait until her number was
reached.
Dr. mil's Choice Rejected.
W hen It waa decided to select a Post
office site for Portland. Ir. J. W. Hill
was appointed by the Treasury De
partment at the direction of President
Taft. Dr. Hill having been a former
schoolmate of. President Taft at Yale.
After a delay of TO days, he la under
stood to have recommended a block on
Burnstde between Ninth and Tenth
streets. Then J. W. Roberta, who la In
charge of the work on the new Custom-
I louse In San Francisco, was sent to
make a report. Within a week he
submitted his report. Kx-Postmaster
"young recommended that one of the
Mocks, P, Q. R or S. ahould be se
lected, they being all In the same neigh
borhood. Postmaster Merrick. Senator
Bourne, the Chamber of Commerce and
the Civic Improvement League recom
mended block S.
The selection of this block near the
I'nlon Depot and the Terminal Tarda Is
In line with the policy of the depart
ment, to construct all new Poatofflce
buildings as near the principal railroad
statlona aa possible. A new Postofflre
building Is being constructed in St.
Louis at a cost of about 810.040.000. to
be ready for occupancy In April. It Is
across the street from the Union Rail
road Station. A system of conveyors
and a pneumatic tube system for con
veying messages to and from the
various executive offices is being con
structed there at a cost of about
f 100.000.
Owner Is Confident.
Dr. Andrew C. Smith, one of the
owners of block S, said last night that
he did not think a Jury will assess the
value of the property at less than tha
price quoted. 83:5.000. Block P was
held at i00.000, he said; the owners
of block Q did not bid. and block R
was offered at $300,000 but afterward
withdrawn. Block S was'flrst offered
for f 140.000. then for SO days at $25.000.
and later the lower figure was quoted
agsln.
"If the Government declines to tske

LABOR LEADERS FALL FOCL OF
INDUSTRIAL EXPERT.
Old Task-Driving- System, Says
Mitchell Poor Work Results,
Says Stone, of Engineers.
NEW YORK. Jan. II. Unqualified dis
approval of the bonus system of paying
employes waa expressed today by labor
leaders before the National Clvlo Fed
eration. It's simply the same old tsek-drlvinr
system under a new name." declared
John Mitchell, ex-president of the
United Mlneworkers of America.
Warren 8. Stone, grand chief of the
International Brotherhood of Locomo
tive Engineers, said the railroads had
tried the system, found It a failure and
promptly abandoned it.
The bonus project was brought up by
the address of II. L. Grant, an Industrial
expert. He produced charts which, he
said. - would show thst - factory girls,
previously Inefficient. had been trained
to a high efficiency by means of re
wards. Mr. Stone, who followed, promptly at
tacked the theory, relating Instances of
Ms experience as a locomotive engineer
to show that poor work, not good work,
waa the result of the system.
The declaration of Louis D. Brandels
before the International Commerce Com
mission that millions could be saved to
the railroads by proper management also
came In for condemnation by Mr. Stone.
"There will be a change In public
opinion If something Is not done for the
railroads of the country." he said. "The
roads need money for development and
Improvements and to- meet modern re
quirements, exclusive of the Increase In
wages. Some of the best-managed roads
will be seriously affected unless they
get relief."

Leader of Democrats Denies
Party Reversed Itself by
Recent Vote.
NO 'PRINCIPLE AT STAKE
Future Speaker Admits Ddeat or.
Cannon Last March Was Revo
lution, but Says Recent Issue
Only Between Individuals
WASHINGTON. Jan. 12. A statement
outlining the view of the Democratic
party In the House- as to the meaning
of the recent rules fight, setting forth
the precedent that would have been
set If the Democrats had voted to over
rule Speaker Cannon at that time, waa
Issued today by Representative Champ
Clark, the Democratic leader of the
House and probable Speaker of the
next congress. The statement follows:
"There Is a tempestTln a teapot about
how the Democrats voted Monday on
the question of sustaining Speaker Can
non'! ruling. Some papers have been
charging t at the Democrats reversed
their action of March-18. 1910. This
Is an entire miatake. Every Democrat
who made speeches on -the proposition
pending on March 17, 18 and 19. 1910.
took particular pains to state that the
precedents were In favor of the Speak
er's ruling on that occasion and that
what we were then doing was revolu
tionary in its character.
Clark Admits Revolution.
"I used this language on that occa
son: "There Is no use to mince words
about It. It Is revolutrem: Individually,
I am not afraid of revolutions, for peo
ple of our blood always revolutionize
in the right direction.'
"The difference in the situation is
that In March. 1910. we were flghtlng-to
accomplish a great result, namely, to
liberate the House from the domination
of an oligarchy of five, of which the
Speaker was one. In fact, in the slang
phrase of the day. 'he was it.' That was
the committee on rules.
"The despotism or the old committee
on rules, composed of five men. of which
the Speaker waa chairman, had become
Intolerable, and we were entirely Justi
fied In upsetting all precedents that
were ever made to emancipate our
selves, which we did. "
No Principle Now Involved.
"The question last made was an In
significant squabble between Judge
Fuller, of Illinois, and James R. Mann,
of Illinois, both Republicans, neither
one an Insurgent, each determined to
have his own way. Each one had a bill
that he wanted to get up, and that is
all there was to It. There was no prin
ciple involved whatever.
"By our votes we said that the
Speaker's decision was sustained by
the precedents, and we also said by our
votes that the matter In controversy
was not of sismclent consequence to
revolutionize the House.
Why Precedent Sustained.
"There Is no Inconsistency whatever
in our votes of March, 1910, and last
Monday. The Speaker can get all the
pleasure out of It he wants, which Is
very little, I think. The appeal from
his decision was taken by a rampant
Republican. Joseph Holt Gaines, of
West Virginia, a standpatter of the
standpatters.
"If the Democrats had overruled the
Speaker by their votes and thus created
a precedent, then In the Sid Congress
the Republicans could have used this
precedent, thus established, to rise each
day with various amendments to the
rules, and by this conduct prevent any
tariff legislation of any character."

Columbia and Vancouver High In
vited to New Conference.
At a meeting of the principals of
Lincoln High School, Washington High
School, Jefferson High Sphool, Allen
Preparatory School and Portland
Academy last night at Washington
High School, after a previous meeting
at which President Gallagher, of Co
lumbia University was present by In
vitation of the principals, the follow
ing was . unanimously adopted as ex
pressive of the Judgment of the prin
cipals: "Because of differences that have
arisen in the past and of differences
now existing between various schools
of the Interscholastic Athletic League
of Portland, It Is our Judgment that it
would be for the peace of the schools
if the present league, composed of tho
schools we represent Bhould be dis
solved, and the several schools com
posing it should be left free to engage
In athletics as they - may severally
choose, without the limitations and
trammels of a league.
"In view, however, of representa
tions of President Gallagher, of Colum
bia University; in our conference on
this subject, that such a dissolution of
the league as this proposed would work
Injustice to his school, it is our judg
ment -that the dissolution Should take
plate at once, hut that the league as
before constituted should be reorganized,
and that to this end Columbia University
and Vancouver High School should be
Invited to send accredited delegates as
before, that they may take part In the
athletics of the league.
, "It is further our judgment that the
existence of the league as It shall be
reorganized should terminate by limita
tion with the present school year."

Ex-Congressman John R. Thayer, of
Worcester, received the most votes, al
though his total was only 19 out of 96
ballots cast. The conference decided
that it was useless to proceed along
these lines and a regular party caucus
was called for next Monday.
The conference developed a sharp
contest at the start, when an effort
was made to turn the affair into a
caucus and to bind those present to
support a plank in last Fall's Demo
cratic platform which pledged the
members to vote against Lodge. There
were present 117 out of 126 members of
the minority party. When this pro
posal was made, several members
threatened to leave and the matter was
laid on the table. -
The result leaves the Democratlo
opposition far from agreeing upon any
candidate against Senator Lodge.
