PARK AWAITS 60,000 FOLK
Big Travel in Yellowstone Is Pre
dicted for 1915.
That Colonel I. M. Brett, military
commander in charge of Yellowstone
National Park, expects more than four
times as many tourists this year as
in 1914, was the statement of Thomas
K. Keefe. superintendent of hotels In
the park, who was at the Benson Hotel
yesterday while en route to Los An
geles. "There were 15,000 visitors last sea
son, in our hotels, but Colonel Brett ex
pects 60.000 this year," said Mr. Keefe.
"These tourists are due to European
travel being shut off and the Panama
Pacitlc and Panama-California exposi
tions in California.
- "Portland is on the direct route from
California to the Yellowstone Park or
vice versa. This excepts the few who
may go from Seattle to San Francisco
by steamer. If Portland reaches out
for tourists she should set many of
the estimated 60,000."

City Detective Tichenor Has
s Revenge on Associate.
Mght Force, Suspected of Prank,
Ordered to Report at 0 A. M
Only to Be Made Subject of Jest.
REVENGE, sweet revenge, was en
joyed yesterday by C. H. Tichenor,
city detective.
A month ago a fake advertisement
inserted in thw newspapers by friends
on the force brought" numerous auto
mobile agents and 26 chauffeurs to
headquarters in search of Mr. Tich
enor. The detective suspected the
night relief force of detectives.
Yesterday morning, in response to a
bulletin that had been posted the night
before, the night detectives, wno left
work at 1 A. M., appeared at the office
of. Deputy District Attorney Collier at
the Courthouse at 9 o'clock. They
were Detectives Joe Day, LaSalle. Ab
bott, Hellyer. Tackaberry, Goltz, Royle
and J. Moloney.
Between yawns they speculated on
the importance of the case upon-which
they had been summoned. Half an
hour passed and Detective Tichenor
appeared. .
"I have a chauffeur now. You may
go," he said.

Opponents Declare Measure Is Hard
on Small Property Owner, Will
Restrict Improvements 'ami
Pnsh Inefficient Lower.
After a stormy discussion in which
contractors, business men. property
owners, laboring men, representatives
of labor unions, lawyers and others
took part, the City Council yesterday
passed by vote of three to one the
ordinance presented by Commissioner
Daly establishing a minimum wage for
workmen on municipal contracts and
requiring contractors having Buch con
tracts to observe the eight-hour day
and to give preference to local labor.
Mayor Albee and Commissioners Daly
and Bigelow voted for the ordinance
Commissioner Dieck voted against it
Commissioner Brewster was not present
The measure as passed will go into
erfect March 26.
Heated arguments punctuated oc
casionally by personalities, applause
and hisses preceded the calling of the
vote on the measure. Each one of a
dozen or bo speakers was applauded
bv the part of the large crowd attend
ing, that favored the particular
speaker's side of the controversy. At
one point wordB became hot between
Mayor Albee and Thomas McCusker
when the latter accused the Mayor of
having made a political speech in con.
nection with the ordinance.
Revocation Is Penalty.
The ordinance as passed requires
every contractor who takes a contract
to do municipal work to accept in hi;
contract provisions to the effect that
he will work his men no longer than
eight hours a day; that he will pay
laborers and other workmen the same
scale of wages as Is paid by the City
of Portland and that preference in
every case will be given to local labor.
In case outside labor is employed the
city must be notified in writing and
the Ceuncil may at its option 'revoke
the contract on this score, taking all
rights from the contractor.
The city's scale of wages for work
men is much higher than the scale
maintained by other employers. The
city pays laborers $3 a day and skilled
workmen a proportionately higher
rate. It is on the Item of common
labor which must be paid J3 a day that
the most of the objection was raised.
Election Pledge Declared Broken.
George Mason representing the Non.
Partisan League opened the discussion
by declaring that the measure was not
in. line with the economy platforms
used by every member of the Council
before election. "This ordinance." he
said, "would cause an increase of 25
per cent in the cost of improvements.
This is not the right time to increase
wages. It is the wrong time to curtail
Improvements and Increasing the prici
of improvements certainly means cur
tailing the amount of work" that wil".
be done. Where will the laboring man
benefit if there is a high wage scale
yet no work to be done?
O. E. Heintz representing the Pa
cific Iron Works declared that the
measure would place local industries
at a disadvantage. "If we have to
pay $3 a day here for laborers and
some other place they pay less and
work men longer hours how are we
tn compete?" he asked. It was ex
plained that the ordinance is not in
tended to affect the fabrication or pur
chase of materials. "Better encourage
improvements during tne present un
employment conditions," said Mr.
Heintz. "There are enough people out
of work without increasing the cost
of improvements and further curtailing
work."
Word Said for Inefficient.
"We must not forget the man who is
not worth $3 a day," said J. S. Seed,
president of the Builders' Exchange.
Three dollars a day means work for
able-bodied men. How about others?
Where are they to find employment?
Is their scale to drop lower than it is?"
"It is a question whether the Coun
cil has jurisdiction in this proposition,"
said Thomas .McCusker. "The Council
is merely acting as agent for property
owners and has no direct Jurisdiction.
After all, the person who pays for tne
high wages is the small property
owner. Property owners are not all
wealthy."
Mayor Albee at this point announced
the reason for his support of tho ordi
nance. "It is not the small taxpayer
who is objecting to the ordinance," said
tho Mayor. "This is one place where
I am willing to forget business for hu
manity. There is only one basis for
solving the industrial question, and that
is to givo a man a decent living wage
by which he may have plenty to eat,
may educate his children, have some
amusement and may set aside some
thing for old ago. Industrial condi
tions will never change until we get
on this basis.
"Damnable," Says Mayor.
"One big taxpayer has said it is; a
question of supply and demand. Gen
tlemen, it is damnable."
Thomas McCusker declared that sen
timent should have no place in consid
eration of the ordinance. "There is no
intention -on the part of business people
to crush labor. I have Just returned
from Salem, where business interests
and laboring people were on the same
side in considering the workmen's com
pensation act."
Mayor Albee interrupted Mr. Mc
Cusker, who retorted. "Mr. Mayor, you
have Just made a political speech and
I think I should have an opportunity
to speak."
The Mayor resented this, and the
part of the crowd favoring the ordi
nance hissed loudly. Above the din
Commissioner Daly' shouted: "Mr.
Mayor. I think he's had the floor all
he needs. Let him sit down." Mr. Mc
Cusker gave up and sat down.
Eugene E. Smith, representing the
Central Labor Council, spoke in favor
of the ordinance. "Short hours and
good pay make satisfied workmen," he
said. "Satisfied workmen are effi
cient. Pass this ordinance so that cap
ital will have to quit exploiting unor
ganized labor."
"Act Not for Labor Unions."
Commissioner Daly declared that the
ordinance is not for the benefit of la
bor unions. "If the scale of wages and
the hours of all laborers was high there
would be no need of labor unions," he
said. "By no stretch of the imagina
tion can this be construed to benefit
unions."
Commissioner Dieck. - in explaining
his opposition to the measure, declared
that there is a limited amount of cap
ital for making public improvements.
"This does Just so much work." said
Mr. Dieck. "If the cost is increased
there will be a decrease in the amount
of work Mechanics have protested to
me personally against having to pay
