HUGHES' RECORD AS
LABOR FRIEND CITED
Progressive Leader Tells Why
Republican Nominee Should
Be Elected President.
PERSONAL ACTS REVIEWED
Praise of Democratic and Union Or
gans During Term as Governor
of Xew York Recounted to
Establish His Stand.
A. E. Clark, one of the leaders of the
Progressive movement in Oregon, and
delegate to the Progressive National
Convention in Chicago last June, dis
cussed Charles Evans Hughes and his
record as Governor of New York, espe
cially as a friend of labor, at a meet
ing of Republicans in the Montavilla
schoolhouse Friday night.
"Next November," said Mr. Clark,
'we are going to elect a President of
the United States. We are going to
do more; we are going to elect the fu
ture of the country for a generation
or more to come. Does Mr. Hughes
measure up to the standard?"
Mr. Clark declared emphatically that
he did. He said that Mr. Hughes' rec
ord was such that any Progressive
could vote for him.
He took up the work accomplished
by Mr. Hughes as couasel for the Ste
vens Gas Commission in New York
city, pointing out that in the face of
a determined private monoply he un
covered and corrected abuses, reduced
prices and conferred great benefits
upon more than 4.000,000 people.
Then followed his work as counsel
for the Armstrong Insurance Commis
sion, which resulted In the reorgani
sation of the big insurance companies
of the country, the elimination of enor
mous salaries and of unwholesome
peculation with the funds of policy
holders.
Mining Investigation Cited.
Following this work, said Mr. Clark,
he became special counsel for the
United States in the investigation of
conditions in the coal mining industry.
While engaged in this work he was
elected Governor of New York.
"While Governor," went on Mr. Clark,
"Charles Evans Hughes placed upon
the statute books of New York more
legislation designed to correct abuses,
control public utilities, improve con
ditions of labor, and secure efficiency
and honesty in the administration of
the business of the public, than all
his predecessors combined.
"When his record as Governor was
made up. and his term was nearing its
close, the New York World, leading
Democratic newspaper of the country,
after reviewing his career, pronounced
him:
" A man fitted for any office of pub
lic trust."
"This is the same newspaper," con
tinued Mr. Clark, "that now is filling
Its columns with partisan abuse of Mr.
Hughes. He is the same man, with the
Eame Ideals and capacities as he wait
when the New York World and the
Democrat!" press generally in 1910 eu
logized his. as the greatest Governor
New York ever had, and the foremost
citizen of the nation.
"They told the truth about him then.
They felt then that they might safely
do so. They did not anticipate that he
might be a presidential candidate In
1916."
Labor Aid Reviewed.
Mr. Clark referred to Mr. Hug.iea
record with respect to labor legislation
While he was Governor of New York..
"We are now told by the Democratic
press that Mr. Hughes Is unfriendly to
labor," he said. "He placed upon the
statute books of New York 56 labor
laws during his term of three years
and nine months, and when he retired
from ofTlce the ofllcial organ of the Now
York Federation of Labor truthfully
said that 'he was the greatest friend of
labor that ever occupied the Governor's
chair at Albany.'
"And while Mr. Hughes was writing
Into the statutes of New York enact
ments for compulsory education. Indus
trial training, trade schools, limiting
hours of labor, requiring wages to be
paid at short intervals, factory inspec
tion, proper sanitation, the safeguard
ing of the lives and limbs of workers,
regulation and prohibition of child la
bor, and many other measures of like
purpose, while he was doing this, his
opponent In this campaign was writing
into hia 'History of the American Peo
ple' that:
" 'The Chinese were more to be pre
ferred as workmen, if not citizens, thun
the coarse crew that came crowding in
every year at the Eastern ports."
Workintman Called Dishonest. ,
"This 'coarse crew" constitutes the
great bulk of our working population.
And Mr. Wilson was doing more. He
was informing the American people
that labor organizations were enemies
to equality and freedom of opportun t.
as on March 18. 1907, at the Waldorf
Hotel, In New York, -or expressing his
. view that the American workingman
was Inherently dishonest, and an un
profitable servant.
" 'You know," said Mr. Wilson to the
Princeton graduating class, June 13,
1909. 'what the usual standard of the
employe is in our day. It is to glve as
littlA i he mav for his wages.'"
Continuing, Mr. Clark spoke of the
fact that the Republicans and Progres
sives are now united and working to
gether for the election of Mr. Hughes.
"Democratic success, so unfortunate
for the industries and the economic
welfare of this Nation," he said, "and
so disastrous to its prestige among the
nations of the world, was the result of
division in the Republican ranks.
"Today Democracy faces a united
party. New conditions have arisen;
new issues now confront us. They grow
out of an economic policy that has
paralyzed the industries of thiB section;
that laid prostrate the industries of the
Middle West and the East, until tem
porarily relieved by the abnormal and
transient conditions of war.
Diplomacy Called Futile.
"They spring out of a futile diplo
macy that has severed almost every tie
of international friendship and settled
nothing; that has surrendered Ameri
can rights in the Canal Zone and else
where and has repudiated the Obliga
tion to protect our citizens either
within or without our borders.
"Brought together by the needs of
the time, the differences of the past
have been laid aside, and we now unite
in proclaiming our support of a leader
ship and of National policies better cal
culated to insure peace and prosperity
at home, honor and respect abroad, and
to secure to our citizens protection for
their lives and their property upon for
eign soil, along cur borders and upon
the highways of the sea."
Mr. Clark devoted especial attention
to a discussion of the effect of Demo
cratic policies upon business condi
tions. He pointed out that Widespread
distress and depression were the direct
and immediate result.
"The truth Is," said he, "the coun
try did not have any confidence in the
capacity of the Democratic party to run
the affairs of government in a sensible
manner. We changed crews in the old
ship of state in 1912. What we did
then may bo likened to sending a valu
able 6hlp, laden with rich cargo, out
to sea in charge of a crew that In 60
years had taken out but two ships and
wrecked them both."
Bnllding Diminution Shown.
Mr. Clark quoted figures showing .the
diminution of building operations In
the cities of the Pacific Northwest. He
showed that in the three and one-half
years of the Wilson Administration,
building permits had decreased from
about $20,000,000 a year to a little
more than one-fifth of this amount, a
condition that resulted in unemploy
ment, want, rigid economy In living ex
penses on the part of all classes, which
reacted upon the merchant and manu
facturer. "The great European war has given
a temporary prosperity," continued Mr.
Clark, "to the East and Middle West.
The farms are called upon to feed the
fighting millions, the factories to pro
vide them with guns and bullets and
powder with which to kill each other.
"Think of the spectacle of the party
in power boasting of a prosperity built
upon a trade that has heaped fuel upon
the fires of the world, and seeking
refuge from its own mistaken policies
in the want and destruction of other
peoples.
"The war will end sooner or later.
The abnormal conditions it has pro
duced will pass and our blood-stained
prosperity will also pass. What then?
Depression Will Return.
"A return to business depression, un
employment, want psychological per
haps to Mr. Wilson, but very real to
those who must bear the distressing
consequences.
. "If the people of this section want a
continuance of what they have suf
fered for three years or more; if the
people of the East and of the Middle
West want a return to the conditions of
1913 and 1914. then continue the pres
ent Administration and existing poli
cies. "If. on the contrary, they want to
restore .those conditions that for many
years prior to 1912, indeed since the
effects of the Democratic panic of 1893
wore away, prospered us as a Nation,
and as individuals, they will elect Mr.
Hughes and give him a Congress to
carry into effect laws and policies that
will have for their object the protection
of American labor and industry, and
the upbuilding of a prosperity of peace,
not a prosperity that must have world
war to sustain it."
FISHERMEN END STRIKE
AGREEMENT REACHED WITH CAS
KJSRS AT HOQUIAM.
Compromise Is Made on Prices to Be
Paid Demands Made at Aberdeen
to Be Considered Today.
HOQUIAM. Wash., Sept. 24. (Spe
cial.) After a strike for 24 hours fish
ermen and salmon packers tonight
reached an agreement on prices for the
present season. On silver salmon the
fishermen obtained an advance in prices
for the first time in the history of
Grays Harbor. This kind will be bought
by weight.
The fishermen struck yesterday and"
practically all of the 350 boats on the
harbor were laid up. They asked 4
cents per pound each for chinooks and
solvers and 15 cents a fish for dog
salmon. Today they accepted the pack
ers' counter proposal of 3J4 cents per
pound for chinooks, 3 cents for silvers
and 10 cents a fish for white chinooks
and dog salmon. All of the fishermen
returned to work tonight.
In the past silver salmon have been
bought by the packers at 25 to 35 cents
each and never before by weight. This
was one of the main points fishermen
were contending for, another being the
grading of chinooks between reds and
whites.
ABERDEEN. Wash., Sept 23. (Spe
cial.) The threatened strike of fisher
men here was postponed and perhaps
averted today at a meeting of fisher
men, at which it was decided to aban
don demands for 4 cents for black
salmon and silversides, instead of mak
ing this demand the fishermen decided
to ask that the packers sign an agree
ment to pay the fishermen present
prices throughout the Fall season. The
prevailing prices now are 34 cents per
pound for red-meated black salmon, 3
cents a pound for silversides and 10
cents apiece for dog salmon and white
meated blacks. Whether or not the
packers will accept the demand will be
decided Monday.

LAST SERMON .GIVEN
Rev. L. K. Richardson . Says
Farewell in Pulpit.
CIVIC DUTY SERMON THEME
History of Kenilworth Presbyterian
Churcli Is Recounted at Spe
cial Services Pastor Goes
East This Week.
"You cannot be a Christian and
neglect your civic duty," said Rev.
Li. K. Richardson In his farewell ser
mon to his congregation at Kenilworth
Presbyterian Church yesterday morn
ing. Rev. Mr. Richardson leaves soon
for Philadelphia to become pastor of
the Hebron Memorial Presbyterian
Church, one of the largest and most
important churches of that denomina
tion. He has been pastor of the Kenil
worth for four years, having succeeded
the late Dr. J. S. Dunning. The church
was packed, and soloists and the choir
Save special music.
"Hitherto the Lord Hath Helped Us"
was his text. "But it i3 Just as true
that the Lord expects us to help him."
he said. "So as I come before you on
my last Sabbath here, I beg of you not
to rest upon what you have done in
tho past, but fro on to greater and
larger works.
"Keep your vision clear, go forward
In character, go forward in benevo
lence and contribution, courage and
zeal, bring others into the fold, be thou
faithful unto the end and thou Shalt
live,"
Church History Recounted.
A large part of his talk was given

of the church. He has seen the church.
which was founded in 1907 with 23
members, grow to 151. He has made
4500 calls, preached 250 sermons, bap
tized 18 adults, christened 26 infants
and given the service at 26 funerals.
He is the second pastor the church
has had.
"Do you think your responsibility
as Christians ends in your church? It
does not. And I say unto you. brethren.
unless you realize your civic responsi
bility you will sink tnto Ignominy.
vV e must have the principals of
Christianity enthroned in the City Hall.
In the Legislature at Salem, in the
Nation as a whole. We will fall into
the mire of our ruin as the nations of
antiquity unless we are careful of our
civic duty.
Reltelon Is Happy.
"During the four years that I have
passed with you I have rejoiced with
those who were happy, wept with the
sorrowing. But. remember, dear ones,
religion is a happy thing. Still, no
great one nas ever Deen wnnout sor
row. Christ himself was the 'Man of
Sorrows.' If any of you have doubts
and fears as to the future after death.
f any man lack wisdom, let him ask
God. As the sun bursts upon a moun
tain side, so enlightenment will come
to you.
So, for the last time, let me say to
you on my last Sabbath here, those
words of Samuel, "Hitherto the Lord
hath helped us.' Let us help him and
luinu our obligations to God. Right
eousness will exalt us, but sin will be
our deadly reproach."
Rev. Mr. Richardson and Mrs. Rich
ardson will leave during the latter part
of the week for Philadelphia. Last
night a large number of people of his
church and of the community called to
bid the pastor good-by.
CHANNEL MUCH WIDER
DREDGES OREGON MAKES COURSE
17 FEET DEEP AT BAY CITY.
Lumber Companies Prepare for Larger
Operations When Harbe? and
Jetty Are Completed.
BAY CITY. Or.. Sept. 24. (Special.)
The Government dredge Oregon, which
has been operating on Tillamook Bay
since last October, has completed the
channel work from the dock at Bay
City to the harbor entrance. R. F. Cole.
Junior United Statce Engineer, in
charge of the work, says that the
dredge moved approximately 780.000
cubic yards of sand and sediment, and
made a channel 225 feet wide, 17 feet
deep at low water and three miles
long.
The dredge has returned to the city
dock where they are now widening and
extending the basin, and at the same
time the sediment that Is being re
moved Is being used to fill in the de
pression between the Southern Pacific
Railroad tracks and the city. Copen
hagen Bros., of Portland, have the con
tract for this work, which they agree
to do for $5000. The fill-in will re
quire about 45 days.
It is expected that the dredge will
be occupied on the basin work until
Spring, when it will have completed the
Government work as far as the channel
Is concerned. The contractors, Giebisch
t Joplin, of Portland, are now deposit
ing about 800 tons of rock daily on the
jetty.
It Is rumored that the Government
has been petitioned to continue the
dredge here next summer and extend
the channel soutn rrom tne city aocK
to the mill cites of some of the large
lumber companies. One of the big
timber owners has had a surveying
crew at work for about two months
laying out logging roads from their
timber to the Bay front, it is expected
that they will build a large mill in the
Spring.

BROTHER OF MARINE SLAIX IN
BATTLE STOPS DEDICATION.
Ceremony in Chicago Cemetery I
Called Off, but Society Denies
Promise to Parents.
CHICAGO, Sept. 24. A brother of
Samuel Meisenberg-. the Chicago marine
who lost his life at Vera Cruz, plunged
through a crowd gathered about the
monument In Waldheim Cemetery
erected to the marine's memory and
prevented Its dedication today.
The brother. Edward Meisenberg-,
charged that the society which erect
ed the monument had failed to give the
marine's poverty-stricken parents the
money promised them.
"I will stop this thing If I have to
fight to do it!" Meisenberg shouted.
"You can t use my brother s grave and
body to advertise your society."
The dedication was called off. Offl
cers of the society said no promise of
money to the marines parents had
been made.

Brush Clump Saves Auto.
VANCOUVER. Wash.. Sept. 24 -(Spe
clal.) A clump of brush growing be
side the River road, about three miles
east of this city, .saved five Portland
young men from serious If not fatal
injury last night. t j
The boys had rented a machinefrom
the City Garage In Portland and were
driving to Camas. They had but one
light, that a poor one, and In the dark,
on the unfamiliar road, the machine
ran off the road, at a place where the
bank is over 30 feet high. The ma
chine turned partly over, and the clump
of brush prevented it from rolling dow.i
the steep hill.
As it was the occupants were spilled
out and scratched and bruised.

ivlONUMEHT NOT WANTED
HOI BOATS IS AIM
Mr. Hardy Wants to See Port
land's Trade Developed.
OPERATING COMPANY IDEA
Contracts Taken by Xew Concern for
Six Vessels for- Norwegian In- -teresta
Fostering of Local
Shipping Is Object.
The need for vessels, not only op
erated from this port but also owned
here, in order to make sure the proper
development of Portland as a shipping
centew, was emphasized yesterday by
George. E. Hardy, former secretary of
the Chamber of Commerce and now
connected with the Heath Shipbuilding
Company. Mr. Hardy declared that the
shipbuilding plants of Portland should
be building some tonnage Ior Portland
ownership.
"We are making a costly mistake In
letting foreign countries and Eastern
and Southern interests take all of our
shipbuilding capacity," he said. "Unless
the people of Portland and Seattle, and
in fact the people of both the states of
Oregon and Washington, arouse them
selves to an appreciation of the neces
sity of owning and operating ocean
tonnage, we will find ourselves far
outdistanced by the East and South."
Mr. Hardy emphasized the Importance
of having within the control of Port
land interests vessels with which to
handle the lumber output of this port
and also the grain and other products
shipped -from here to the markets of
the world.
"If we had. or could get. tonnage now
our lumber mills could be running full
time at much better prices." he said.
Mr. Hardy said that his shipbuilding
concern had contracted to build six
ships for Norwegian interests. He said.
however, that this was not exactly
what he wanted to do. as he would
have preferred to turn out ships for
fortiand ownership, and with this as
their home port.
Mr. Hardy announced that another
effort would be made shortly for the
organizing and financing of an operat
ing company to be known as the Ore
gon Navigation Company. This, he satd,
would be taken up as soon as the
shipyard operations are well under
way.
The plan Is to start the company
with one or two motor ships, Mr.
Hardy said.
"They will be of approximately the
same dimensions as the motor sailing
ships we are under contract to build
for Norway." he said. "They will have
about 1000 horsepower, giving them a
speed of about 9hr knots. Their cargo
capacity will be about 2750 gross -tons,
and they will have 'tween decks' to
facilitate the handling of return cargo."
Captain Skangen, who Is reputed to
be a shipping man of wide experience.
Is to be brought to Portland from Nor
way to manage the shipping company.
Mr. Hardy announced. J. Fred Larson
will alo have a prominent part in the
organization of the operating company.
