AGENT HERE, TELLS OF WOE
J. T. Carmioliael. Holder of !xH-iirl-tles
at I.aTenee. Visits Portland
and Pox-rlbe Misery of
Woolen Fwetory FsHploves.
Although he is a stockholder in one
of the large woolen mills at Lawrence.
Mass., the employes of which are on a
strike thnt has attracted the attention
of the Nation. Janus It. Carnilchad,
sales agent for a large New York
drapery house, now in Portland, said
yesterday that the living conditions of
the men. women and children employed
In the textile mills were deplorable
and that the strikers were entirely
Justified In their wage demands.
"I have been receiving 7 per cent
dividends on my Investment. said Mr.
Carmlohael at the Klks Club yesterday,
"hut 1 would be willing to accept a
reduction to give those poor people
enough wages so that they could live
decently t don't say comfortably I
want them only to live decently, which
many of them can't afford to do now.
"Lawrence Is a town more thad two
centuries old. but 1t has a population
of only 75.000 people. It has had near
ly that many for 15 years. Its only ad
vancement being In the natural in
crease due to the birth rate. The city
Is not progressive. Its business build
ings remain the same as they were
many years ago and Its residence
houses are growing even worse. The
mill workers live In tenements, which
are stuck Into the air, from seven to
10 stories high.
Mldrea Live la Bssemeals.
' From 50 to 100 persons live over
the same ground space that is used
for a single family here in Portland.
Thousands of children live In base
ments. Many of these basements ars
damp, poorly ventilated and perpetual
ly dark.
"Little boys are forced to work In
the mills when they are less thnn 1!
years old. They receive from $2.50 to
l a week. The men are paid only l
to 110.50 a w eek. So-called experts, or
loom fixers, get about 18 a week and
are able to live In comparative luxury.
People rannot. unless they go there
and see for themselves, realize what
awful conditions those mill workers
have to contend with. People In factory
towns of the East In which the situa
tion is similar can appreciate the light
that the jiwrence mill workers are
making, but people here In Portland,
where nearly every family lives in Its
own comfortable home and where the
average wage Is more than twice that
paUl in Lawrence, simply can't com
prehend it.
"The Idea of charging those poor,
little children 5 cents a week for
drinking water was so revolting to me
that 1 determined to sell my stock in
the company and quit. I don't want
to be a party to such methods. That is
only one Instance of the many ways In
which the mill owners enlarge their
profits st the expense of their em
ployes. Some time before the strike
the stock was selling at lOH. Now It
has been driven down to about 80. I
understand.
l.ar nriaaa Wage Rrdaetlsa.
For a good many years those peo
ple had been working 58 hours a week.
Then the Massachusetts Legislature
passed a law limiting the hours to St.
I believe that the limit for tha children
was reduced to 84 hours. Hut the mill
owners announced a proportionats re
ductlon In wages. That caused the
strike. Now 1 see thst the companies
have offered an increase of & per cent
over tha tdd scale. The men want a
IS pJr cent Increase. I think they
should have It-
-Most of the people affected by the
strike are foreigners. Working condi
tions ars so bad that native Americans
long since hsve been unable to llv
under them. f course. I can t spprovs
the methods adopted by the strikers in
their fights with the police and tha
militia, but I suppose they were driven
to fight bv desperation and starvation.
-1 know ". K. Lynch. Commissioner
of Public Safety, of Lawrence, very
well. I don't belltve all tha reports
Xi. f . .4
concerning his personal attacks on
women and children in the recent riots
there, us he is not the kind of a man
to strike a woman or child. But if
one-halt of what I have read In tha
papers since leaving Lawrence Is true.
I surely can't he proud of the city."

manager of a large paper mill in Wis
consin, who is now an orchardist here,
said last night in addressing ttie citi
zens of the city at the Commercial
Club tiiat he hus found no place in the
West more suited lor a paper mill than
Hood Kiver.
"1 have visited a number of places
since 1 came to the Pacific Coast. Just
to look for paper-mill sites, and 1 have
seen no locality that can offer better
natural facilities than Hood Kiver. with
its abundance of pure water and easily
developed water power," lie said.
Mr. Goodenough has been in the pa

life. One of his sons Is now mansge-r
of the Aetna Paper Mills. He estab

A large crowd was present to listen

The Heart
a

business is not advertised It Is safe to assume
that that business has no heart. Surely If It is
said to have a heart It must have that heart
divided up Into several departments. But the
business that is advertised lives and grows and
prospers because It has a whole he-art that is
everlastingly beating and pulsing good red

their parents consented."
Law Thooght Violated.
"Where did you take them?"
'To the police station."
Why."
"Because they had. in my opinion,
violated the laws of Massachusetts."
"What law?"
'The law of provjdlng for the care
of neglected children."
"How did you know they were neg
lected?" "The situation was extraordinary.
These people would not tell us who
they were, and for that reason they
were detained."
"Well, if some of these women were
mothers of those children, what right
did vou have to arrest them?"
"The right, as I have told yon. that I
thought Jt was my duty under tha law."
"When did you discover that any of
these women were mothers?"
Extreme Poverty Denied.
"Not until after they were taken to
the state institution, where they were
cared for later that day. That nisht
some of the fathers came and acknowl
edged parentage of the children. They
promised to bring them into court on
Tuesday and were allowed to take them
home."
Captain Sullivan said he had consult
ed Justice Chandler. Colonel Sweetser
and others who advised him in his ac
tion. "Did you have any written authority
to take "these women and children?"
"1 did not."
Captain Sullivan said he had seen
people on the streets of Washington
more poorly dressed than he had ever
seen on the streets of Lawrence.
"As to the testimony that they eat
meat once a week," he said, "I know
there are scores of Italian and Jewish
meat and fish peddlers who sell to no
one but these people. They also have
their own clothing shops, which are
well patronixed." .
Suffering; People I gly.
Mr. Holman outlined the efforts made
by the Governor to settle the strike and
the withdrawal from Lawrence of moat
of the troops.
"No undue violence was used by the
troops or police in Lawrence," he said.
"Korce was necessary at times where
the suffering people were ugly and had
to be restrained."
That the state authorities or soldiers
had anything to do with stopping the
departure of children from Lawrence
Mr. Holman emphatically denied.
"The police alone dealt with that sit.
uation." he said.
Captain Sullivan told of an outburst
at a Sunday meeting of the strikers,
where men were arrested for blocking
the sidewalks.
Two of these men were struck with
clubs," said the Captain. "As they
were being taken to the station a moh
of women armed with broomsticks and
clubs besieged the officers. One Polish
woman had a baseball bat.
Call for Martyrs I'nheeded.
"As to the arrest of women,-' contin
ued the Captain. "I want to say that not
one-half of ths women who should have
been arrested were. The women ar
rested were Incited to violence by their
leaders. I know of a Syrian doctor In
Lawrence who had no connection with
the strike, who asked for 25 men to go
with him to throw themselves on tha
bsyonets of the soldiers to arouse sym
pathy for the cause."

BETTER SERVICE AHEAD
RAILROADS AIM TO SHORT EX
KUX TO PACIFIC COAST.
Milwaukee, Northwestern and Har
rlmun Lines Interested in Read
justment of Schedule.
JiEW YORK, March 6. (Special.) A
readjustment of railway service be
tween Chicago and the Paciric Coast,
more extensive than in any other years,
will take place within a few weeks.
It has been deciaed upon by the West
ern roads as a preparation for the
Panama-Pacific Exposition.
Negotiations under way for several
weeks are nearing completion. The re
sult of these negotiations will be the
virtual addition of two distinct through
routes between Chicago California and
Portland, and a vast Improvement In
through service to the West over the
Omaha-Ogden route and the Southern
Pacittc system.. The changes will be
effective about May 15. , .
The Chicago railroads which are in
terested are the Chicago. Milwaukee &
St. Paul, and the Chicago & North
western. The extent of the changes
will be indicated by the fact that three
entirely new trains will be put into
service between Chicago and the Pa
cific Coast. The new running time be
tween Chicago and the Coast will be
only 64 hours.
Negotiations with the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul have not yet been
completed, but it is probable that an
exclusive train will be put on over
that road in connection with the Union
Southern Pacific, leaving Chicago at
10:30 A. M.. making the run to the
Coast in 72 hours.

Stops Falling Hair and
Destroys Dandruff
Makes the Hair Gr&w Long, Heavy
and Luxuriant and We Can
Quickly Prove It
If You Wish to Double the" Beauty of
Your Hair at Once, Just Get a 25
Cent Bottle and Try This
Surely try a Danderine Hair Cleanse if you wish
to immediately double the beauty of your hair with
little trouble and at a cost not worth mentioning
just moisten a cloth with a little Danderine and
draw it carefully through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time, this will cleanse the hair of
dust, dirt or any excessive oil In a few moments
you will be amazed. Your hair will be wavy,
fluffy and abundant and possess an incomparable
softness, lustre and luxuriance, the beauty and
shimmer of true hair health.
Besides beautifying the hair, one application of
Danderine dissolves every particle of Dandruff;
cleanses, purifies and invigorates the scalp, forever
stopping itching and falling hair.
Danderine is to the hair what fresh showers of
rain and sunshine are to vegetation. It goes right
to the roots, invigorates and strengthens them. It's
exlu'larating, stimulating and life-producing proper
ties cause the hair to grow abundantly long, strong
and beautiful. It at once imparts a sparkling bril
liancy and velvety softness to the hair, and a few
weeks use will cause new hair to sprout all over
the scalp. Use it every day for a short time, after
which two or three times a week will be sufficient
to complete whatever growth you desire.
You can surely have pretty, soft, lustrous hair,
and lots of it, if you will just get a 25 cent bottle of
Knowlton's Danderine from any drug store or toilet
counter and try it as directed.
