Confidential Circular Distrib
uted Among Supporters of
Two-Platoon Measure.
LABOR AGITATORS BLAMED
Stand of Some Bureau Employes In
Chicago Against Similar Meas
ure Cited Because Unions
Wo aid Be Real Director.
"We see by the papers Chief Stev
ens has quit the job. We regret this
exceedingly, as we were doing- very
nicely with him. However, give them
bell from here to the finish, then they
Will all quit."
Such is the attitude of firemen cam
paigning' for the firemen's two-platoon
bill. The quotation is from a circular
sent Thursday night to all the fire
stations by the f iremen s two-platoon
committee. It shows the feeling: in the
department as a result of the fight the
chiefs are making- against the two
platoon bill on the ground that It is a
vicious measure, full of jokers which
have nothing whatever- to do with a
legitimate two-platoon system such as
some other cities have adopted.
The circular as distributed among the
firemen is signed by. James Irving, sec
retary of the two-platoon committee.
Copies Were given to Fire Chief Dow
ell by firemen who resent the labor
agitation now stirring the Fire Bu
f eau.
Labor Agitators Blamed.
That the two-platoon fight is purely
ene due to organized labor agitators
having got a hand in the fire service
is the opinion of the fire chiefs. They
cite similar campaigns in other cities,
principally Chicago.
It came to the attention of the fire
chiefs recently that the firemen have
been organized into a strong labor
union with a charter from the Ameri
can Federation of Labor. Announce
ment to this effect was made recently
by a newspaper supporting the union
isation programme now stirring the
city.
During the two-platoon fight in Chi
cago which was lost by a vote of two
to one last year, labor leaders distribut
ed circulars to all unions in which
the statement was made: "The two
platoon is not a political issue, but
strictly a labor question and a defeat
(it the polls would mean not a defeat
alone for the firemen, but a defeat for
union labor. We do not ask any finan
cial assistance, but we do ask you to
Rt to the polls and help us to win by
petting your wives, sisters and friends
to vote 'yes' on the double-platoon.
This Is the first labor question ever put
en the little ballot."
Some Firemen Opposed.
A committee of firemen opposing the
twoplatoon plan in the Chicago de
partment Issued a counter circular in
Which they said in part: "While we re
spect labor unions in their right place,
and have given our money to aid men
out on strike whenever called upon so
to do, and know that labor, unions are
Jndlspenable to the laboring men, we
think that a labor union in the Fire
department is out of place. When a
rnan Joins the Fire Department he
takes an oath to save life and prop
erty regardless of whose life or prop
erty it may be. Furthermore, we think
Jt will be an evil day for the Fire De
partment as well as for the citizens
and taxpayers of this city when the
business and policy of the Fire De
partment will be dictated by the busi
ness agent of a labor union Instead of
the Fire Marshal and his assistants."
The two-platoon bill to be voted on
in Portland Monday is much more
sweeping than wail the Chciago bill, in
asmuch as it provides for many things
in addition to the question of two
shifts for the men.

So the People May Know
Mark your ballots carefully! Choose your Mayor,
your Commissioners and your Grocer for their abil
ity. Every candidate and every grocer is willing and
anxious to do his best, but that is not enough. The
man and the concern you select must have the ability
must be able to give you what you need at the price
you can afford to pay. This store is selling its food
stocks and the goods contracted for on the basis of
their cost not on the cost of replacing them. There
is nothing wrong with the intent of the other fellow,
whether he is in the combination or not he simply
lacks the ABILITY to do the things this concern
is doing in these trying times. To do this right we
need your help so phone your orders any time ex
cept Friday evening and Saturday or come per
sonally Saturday place and pay for your orders
and we will deliver as usual.

two suburbs in a wordy battle for
many months has finally been com

hands in asking for A road which will
please everybody concerned.
The flag of truce was borne into
the office of th County Commission
ers yesterday by R; P. Marshall, of
Capitol Hill, who said road differences
had been adjusted.
The board indicated that it would
take steps to construct a road in the
Capitol Hill district -at once. The

HIGHER WAGES DEMANDED
County Road Workers Ask Raise,
Carpenters Serve Notice.
The high cost of living is causing the
wolf to stalk at their doors, say the
road workers of Multnomah County in
a" petition which was filed, with the
County. Coirmlssioners yesterday. They
ask for an increase from $2.50 to $3.00
per day. Many of them are men with
large families, they state, and are un
able to meet the advanced living cost
under the present wage scale. They
further claim that Multnomah County
pays less for this work than a majority
of the places on the Pacific Coast.
Coincident with the petition of the
road workers, the Carpenter's Local
yesterday served notice on the board
that the pay of carpenters had been
raised to $4.50 per day. This Increase
dates from May 15.
TALK WILL BE PATRIOTIC
WALLACE M'CAMAXT TO SPEAK AT
FESTIVAL OPE.MXG.
Tople Is to Be Suggested by Levelling
of Statue of Liberty. Gift sf
Krsnee to America.
Wallace McCamant,' Justice of the
State Supreme Court, has accepted She
invitation of the Portland Rose Festi
val Board to make the principal ad
dress at the unveiling of the Statue of
Liberty in the Court of Patriotism at
the Festival Center. His address
"France and America, Champions of
Liberty" will be delivered on the
opening night of the Festival. June 13,
Just after the statue Is unveiled by
President Wilson, who will touch the
electric button in the White House at
Washington.
Judge McCamant selected his topic in
keeping with the spirit which the God
dess of Liberty represents. The Board
feels that it will be peculiarly appro
priate at this time for the reason that
the original statue was presented to
America by France, and now the tri
color and Stars and Stripes are 'one in
waging war against an autocracy that
threatens the development of democ
racy typified by the statue.
William McMurray, chairman of the
Festival Center, announced yesterday
that the same block used to cut the
cables at the launching of the famous
battleship "Oregon" will be used to cut
the cords at the unveiling of the statue.
He made a special effort to secure the
block for the ceremony because of the
great part the Oregon played in the
liberation of the Cubans and the fur
ther spread of democracy.
. Yesterday Pierre Traglio put a force
of men to work preparing the statue
for Its ride from the Washington-street
carbarns to the Festival Center on Park
street. The huge four-ton figure will
be erected by derricks, and when fast
to its base will stand more than 50 feet
high. It will be put in place Monday.
