Independents and Union No. 6
Come to Blows Over Right
to Loading of Vessel.
MORE TROUBLE IS LIKELY
One Faction, Accused of Being As
sociated 'With Industrial 'Work
ers and Socialists, Denies
Imputation of Opponents.
As tbe climax to a day of trouble In
which four demonstrations -were made
and three lights ensued, a crowd of men
belonging to Longshoremen's Union No.
C attacked members of the Independent
Longshoremen's Union. In the yards of
the West Side Lumber & Shingle Com
pany shortly after B o'clock last even
Ins; and Richard Molen. of the latter or
ganization, sustained scalp wdunds, his
left eye was gashed and badly bruised
and his face suffered in general. Ue
was taken to the police station and his
Injuries treated.
Molen said that In company with oth
ers of the Independents he .had left the
schooner Omega, which Is loading lum
ber at the West Side plant, and under
the protection of a police officer started
for the city. As they were crossing tne
tracks of the Southern Pacific, he says,
about 100 men from Union No. 6 set
upon himself and comrades, and. though
they endeavored td get away, he was
knocked down and while lying with his
face in the sawdust was severely
beaten about the head. His clothing
was soaked In blood and he bore every
evidence of having been roughly han
dled. One arrest was made by the of
ficer on the scene.
ladependemt Reporta Assault.
A. Erlckson. of the Independent
Union, reported that he had been set
upon by rival longeshoremen on the
deck of the Omega, and that $10.80 in
cash and certain other belongings were
taken from his pockets, and that fee
had been thrown Into the river. He de
clared that he escaped by swimming
beneath the dock. He was employed
on the schooner as donkeyman. John
Abbenseth, also an Independent, re
ported that the attacking party threw
rocks at the men from the Omega.
When the Independent crew congre
gated at the mill at 7 o'clock yesterday
morning and gangs from Union No. 6
were on the way to load the steamer
Tahoe with lumber for California, a
clash occurred In which S. Wall, of the
Independents, was beaten. About 10
o'clock another fight at Third and Ash
streets resulted In A. F. Schaab, busi
ness agent for the independents, hav
ing his right eye blackened. He swore
out warrants for three members of
No. S. .
Added to the fight features Is the fact
that the Independents lost the work on
tbe schooner Omega, and her cargo will
be handled today by the gangs of No.
6. Mr. Schaab asserts that half of the
men of the independent union are citi
zens, that many of them are married
and have lived here for years, and It
was only because they could not obtain
work from No. 6 that they instituted
the new organization. Police patrolled
the docks of tbe West Side Lumber A
Shingle Company's plant yesterday fol
lowing the outbreak.
Socialistic Tendencies) Denied.
The men of Union No. S, which Is af
filiated with the American Federation
of Labor, say that the Independents are
largely Industrial Workers and Social
ist party followers, and that some of
them were "weeded out," as they terra
the process, from No. 8, or rather from
the ranks of those given extra work
coming to No. 6. The independents In
turn deny any affiliation with the I. W.
W. body, and declare that no members
are accepted by them who are of the I.
W. W. class.
E. Casey, president, and E. Snyder,
secretary, of No. 6, signed the follow
ing statement concerning the new
union:
"There Is a body of irreconcilably
who, having failed In their endeavor to
drag local No. 6 of the Longshoremen's
Union into conflict with the authorities
of this city In their endeavor to sup
press soapbox orators on account of
their language on street corners to tbe
discomfort and demoralization of the
youth of our city and without any re
gard to the feelings of the opposite sex,
cither women or children, and on whose
opposition to the authorities, whose
business it is to see fair play for all
people, we of local No. S would take no
part, are now engaged In forming
a would-be longshoremen's union,
which they hope In the future would
act in accord with their cause and en
able them to belie and slander the best
friends of the laboring class. We of
local No. 6 of the American Federation
of Labor are endeavoring to live up to
the rules of the said federation as ex
pounded by Brother John Mitchell In
bis late vl6it to Portland, of which the
following is the text as reported by the
papers of the city:
Pledge Is Recited.
" 'We are pledged to emancipation
of our class from poverty, ignorance
and selfishness, to be respectful In word
and action to every woman, to be con
siderate to the widow and orphan, the
weak and defenseless, and never to dis
criminate against a fellow worker on
account of creed, color or nationality,
to defend freedom of thought.- whether
expressed by tongue or pen. likewise to
educate ourselves and fellow workers
In the history of the labor movement.
We will endeavor to subordinate every
selfish imputation to the task of elevat
ing the material, intelectuaj and moral
conditioner the entire laboring class.'
"While endeavoring to practice tbe
foregoing we have rules to help every
honest worklngman who is out of em
ployment, and for that purpose our hall
is open from C in the morning until 6 In
the evening. Thousands have availed
themselves during the years we have
been In existence: we give them at
least a day's work to help them along
such of them as are competent to do
the work. Most of those who are form
ing this new union are men we found
Incompetent, and are better as agitators
than workers.

Dredge Oregon May Be Transferred
From Grajs Harbor.
Final authority to proceed with the
Tillamook bar and Bay projects has
reached the office of Major Morrow,
Corps of Engineers, U. S. A., from
Washington, and all documents con
nected therewith have been executed,

RECORD IS' PASSED
Abstract of Oregon City Locks
Ready for McReynoIds.
TOLLS ARE TO END SOON
Improvements Contemplated Will
Cost $680,000, or $80,000 More
Than Appropriations 31 ade by
State and Congress.
With the approval of Attorney-Gen
eral Mclteynolds of the abstract record
ot ownership of the Oregon City locks,
which was approved, yesterday by
United States District Attorney Reames,
title to that passageway up the Wil
lamette Klver will pass from the Port
land Railway, Light St "Power Company
to the Federal Government. The con
sideration Is $375,000. The abstract
was mailed to the Attorney-General
last nignt.
The transfer will end the toll sys
tem that has prevailed since the locks
were first built, in 1871, and passage
through the locks will hereafter be
free.
Agitation for the Government owner
ship of the locks began some years ago.
The Oregon Legislature made an an
propriatlon of 1300.000 In 19077 to be
half the cst of purchasing the locks
and contingent property, and Congress
made an appropriation of & like
amount, the Portland Railway, Light
St Power Company asking 1600,000 for
tbe property at that time.
Company Reduces Price.
After an Investigation by Govern
ment engineers. It was found that locks
could be constructed on the other side
of the river. The presence of Govern
ment locks, with no tolls, would have
reduced the value of the privately
owned locks to a minimum, and the
Portland Railway, Light St Power Com
pany last year agreed to sell for 1375.-
000.
While the locks are to be owned by
the Government after the purchase, the
State of Oregon, by agreement. Is to
furnish half the purchase price and bear
half the expense of upkeep.
Estimates of the Government en
gineers call for Improvements costing
1300.000. Preliminary surveys have al
ready cost $5000, so the Improvements,
with the purchase price, will bring the
total cost of the locks up to $680,000.
or $80,000 more than the Congressional
and state appropriations.
Four Lock In Canal.
There are four locks, each 210 feet
long, with a 40-foot width and a 10
foot lift. The canal Is 3500 feet long.
Including the upper and lower basins.
Since the locks were built. In 1871,
by the Oregon Canal Locks Company,
the property has passed through the
hands of the O.-W. R. & N Company,
the Willamette Transportation & Lock
Company and the Portland General
Electrio Company, by which it was
transferred to the Portland Railway,
Light St Power Company in 1906.
FOG DETAINS LINER BEAR
Nature Steps in to Defeat Chance for
Record Arrival.
Had not fog shut down on the steam
er Bear, Captain Nopander, after she
left up from Astoria yesterday morn
ing, and held her for an hour, she
would today be at the head of the list
of "Big Three" steamers as having ar
rived at Portland the earliest from San
Francisco, and as It Is, she reached her
berth at Astoria at 1:31 o'clock in the
morning, which is the earliest any of
the fleet has been there.
The vessel got away from San Fran
cisco soon after one o'clock Wednesday
afternoon and all went well toward a
record-breaking trip as to the hour of
reaching port, not for speed. At As
toria she discharged 90 tons of cargo
and was away from the dock at 3:43
o'clock, but the first fog of the season
In the river caught her and s,he was
compelled to anchor. -Even at that, the
steamer was fast at AInsworth dock at
11:30. The Beaver holds the early ar
rival record, in having been In the' har
bor at 10.-4S o'clock. The Bear had a
full list of passengers, besides carry
ing all the cargo she could accomodate
from Los Angeles to San Francisco.
PAPER GOES TO AUSTRALIA
Heavy Shipments Formerly Made
From Portland Via Hongkong.
Rolls of newspaper to the number
of 300, each 39 Inches wide, and manu
factured of Oregon materials, were
shipped on the steamer Beaver for
Australia yesterday, the shipments be
ing routed from San Francisco via the
Spreckels Urife.. Mills here are supply
ing paper along tbe entire Coast and
with each departure of the San Fran
cisco & Portland vessels, paper forms
the nucleus of their cargoes.
In the days when the Portland &
Asiatic Steamship Company was oper
ating to Oriental harbors, a large
amount of newspaper was dispatched
for Australia, being carried as far as
Hongkong and there reshipped. That
was special business and the paper was
84 Inches wide. Frequently flour and
other freight Is sent from Portland to
San Francisco that Is destined to South
and Central American porta and more
business in the way of parcel stuff
may be worked up with Australia by
routing it via the Golden Gate.

MORE SAFEGUARDS URGED
Longshoremen's Request Acted on
by Chamber of Commerce.
The board of trustees of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce. will recommend
to employers that more safeguards be
used for the protection of longshore
men. The action was taken at .the re
quest of the Longshoremen's Union,
which contends that the stevedore firms
do not provide sufficient safeguards In
handling cargoes and that in conse
quence many serious accidents have oc
curred recently, resulting In the death
and injury of longshoremen.
The board is gratified at the appoint
ment of Senator Chamberlain to be
chairman of the Senate committee on
military affairs. It Is believed his ap
pointment will have a strong Infuence
on the future of the post at Vancouver,
Wash.
Increase In the volume of business
to be transacted will necessitate a meet
ing of the board weekly instead of
monthly nereafter.
The meetings will be at 11:30
Wednesday morning.
CLARKE VOTE CITED
Prompt Response by Multno
mah County Sought.
NOLTA DISCUSSES BRIDGE
From Present Indications Three
Highways AVill Lead to Viaduct
and Best Type of Structure)
Is Declared Necessity.
That Multnomah County should
respond promptly to the bond vote In
Clarke County for the erection of the
Interstate bridge across the Columbta
River by voting Its share of the bonds,
was the declaration made yesterday by
J. H. Nolta. wbo is "father ot the In
terstate bridge" plan. Mr. Nolta has
been In falling health for the past
month and confined to his home, but he
said that be will be glad to take hold
and help start the proceedings for the
bond issue in Multnomah County.
"I have high hopes that tbe bridge
bonds required will be voted," said Mr.
Nolta, "but It will require considerable
hard work. Some of the clubs have been
calling me up offering assistance,. In
cluding the Women's Good Government
Club, but we are awaiting the return
of Frank B. Riley before starting
action.
Plenty of Work Promised.
"There will be some'thing for every
organization to do after the County
Court calls the election to vote the
bonds. There will be 40 days In which
to make the campaign. I was satisfied
that Clarke County would vote its
bonds. Clarke County has only $14,
000,000 taxable property while Multno
mah has $300,000,000, which shows tbe
load Clarke County has assumed in
order to get this bridge. We should
vote $1,500,000 In order to build the
bridge and erect the approaches across
the Columbia Slough. According to the
decision of the Supreme Court we shall
have to build to the center of the chan
nel of the river, the dividing line of
the two states.
"I want to see a flrst-class bridge
built that will stand for a great many
years, and shall oppose any cheap
structure as some have proposed. The
traffic over this bridge will be exceed
ingly heavy from the start and will
Increase and we shall need the best
bridge we can secure."
From present Indications there will
be three highways leading to the pro
posed Interstate bridge one from Pat-
ton avenue the central Highway one
from Union avenue and one from East
St. Johns by way of the Union Meat
Company's plant. The last named route
Is being urged by the St. Johns Com
mercial Club. The Patton-avenue route
s the one selected by tbe Bennett plana
Many clubs will Insist that Union ave
nue be extended to the approach. It
has been opened to Columbia boule
vard already. This route probably
would follow the present route of the
Portland Railway, Light A Power Com
pany, where there Is a county road
way. The Patton-avenue route probably
will be a solid fill for tbe enure distance.

terribly, and was very sore. It was
also swollen and caused me a great
deal of discomfort as I could not sleep
at night. It was very embarrassing and
I didn't want any of my friends to see
me. I used several remedies such as

they did no good. I used Reslnol Soap

Small Cost, Sa; s Algar. ,
Construction of a bridge across the
Willamette River at Sellwood as soon
as It can be brought about Is one of
the objects for which tbe new Sellwood
Commercial Club will strive as soon
as the reorganization of the club has
been completed.
F. L. Algar, C. B. Turley and alter
Crltchlow are the committee on reor
ganization and Incorporation. They
will prepare the articles of Incorpora
tion and have them ready wnen tneciuo
eets next Tuesday night at the club
house, on Umatilla avenue. Under the
reorganization it is planned to make
the clubhouse a social and business
center, as well as a factor In the de
velopments of the city.
The club property Includes a lot ana
clubhouse on Umatilla avenue, valued
at about 87000. There are 80 active
members. It also hopes more than to
double this number after Incorpora
tion.
Mr. Algar. member of the reorgani
zation committee, said yeBterday that
the club will put forth its best and
most earnest efforts for the erection
of a bridge to replace the Sellwood
ferry. This Improvement, be declared,
is greatly needed at the present time.
He said that such a bridge can be put
across the Willamette River from bank
to bank and be above navigation at a
small figure compared with the cost
of the Broadway or any of the other
bridges.
"We are set off by ourselves here m
Sellwood with only this ferry, which
Is wholly Inadequate, said Mr. Algar.
We want the co-operation of all citi
zens of the suburb in this movement
and in other things which we hope to
undertake for Sellwood."

Protest With Commission.
At yesterday morning's meeting the
Commissioners heard a delegation of
residents from Waverly Heights who
entered protest against the proposed
locating of a tuberculosis sanitarium in
their neighborhood, on Bast Twenty
eighth street. The Commissioners as
sured the protestants that there would
be no snap judgment taken In the mat.
ter and that both sides would have
another' chance to be heard.
The sanitarium Is a private proposi
tion backed by local physicians who
have applied to the Commissioners for
a permit to conduct It. The purpose is
to make use of a house already erected
and also to have tents In the grounds
surrounding. The doctors were not
present.
Other business transacted by the
Council was of a routine nature and

Quick Death to
Extravagance
There Is no extravasrance eulte
like that of hasty and foolish
buying. It results not only in
loss of money, but In loss of self
respect as well.
There Is nothing so galling to
one's pride an to feel that one
has been burdened by a useless
purchase or "stuck" by an unde
sirable one. Many an otherwise
honest man will lie to his best
friend rather than admit that he
has in his possession one of those
articles commonly referred to aa
"gold bricks."
Don't permit the possibility of
finding yourself in this uncom
fortable position.
There are plenty of thoroughly
reliable makers and merchants,
and they use this newspaper to
tell you what they have to offer
for your use. Pay careful atten
tion to what they have to say to
you through our advertising col
umns, and put an end immediate
ly to the extravagance and sub
sequent annoyance caused by 111
ronaldered and hit-aad-miss
methods of expenditure.
