More Than SO Per Cent Willing; to Re turn to Work, Which Closed Down to Avoid Strike. More than 90 per cent of the men whose threatened strike precipitated the closing down of work on the St. Johns tunnel of the O.-W. R. & N. Company June 1, when strike plans were announced, were "buncoed" by a handful of agitators,, "who slipped something over on the family working men," and now want to go back to work, according to J. F. Fleming, a brick, stone and concrete worker who was one of the 1000 or more men em ployed by A. Guthrie &. Co., contrac tors at the tunnel. "I think that 90 per cent of the men want to go back to work on the orig inal basis," said Mr. Fleming yester day. "We were satisfied all the time, but some of the single agitators, a mere handful, came in and induced us to sign a petition for the 50 per cent flat increase before we knew what it was. We were deluded. Almost all of the men were family men, making good money, and have homes and families here. The petition -was slipped over on us before we really understood what it was. Now that we have had time to consider the whole situation, we have ome to realize that a handful of agi tators, men without families or inter est here In Oregon, came in on us and practically lifted us out of our jods. We want to go back. When the griev ances of the men were set up, side by ide with the efforts of the company to improve conditions and the advan tages they gave us, they appeared slight indeed. The 90 per cent or more of satisnea men who want to go oacK unaer u old conditions will try to meet In a few days and take some concerted action towards brlnsriner the situation to tne notice of the contractors and the O.-W. R. & N. Company." Mr. Fleming is workman No. 1640, and resides at 632 East Salmon street. The tunnel work was stopped on tne nlsrht of May 31. when Guthrie & Co. were notified that unless they met the demand for a 60-cent-a-day increase in wages the men would walk out. The eomnanv had employed Irom io-ju to 1200 men daily at the tunnel and had a payroll of more than ioo, ouo monthly, besides spending $50.oou monthly for supplies and provisions. Rather than undertake to work aunng the strike trouble. 'the contractors an nounced they would suspend work. The O.-W. R. & N. announced that the tun nel work did not need to be pushed and that the completion could wait untn the labor tangle was unraveled. ;-4 ' .i 1 W - Dance Instruction By Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Castle Book Free xUpon Request We axe giving: away free to those who eall at our Victor Department a clever little book of Dance Instruction by Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Castle.
