THE MOIIMXG ' OREGO.NIAX, THURSDAY, APRIL 15, 1920 WILDCAT STRIKES RAPPED BYGDMPEHS Men Advised to Show Self Restraint in Demands. LAWS DECLARED FUTILE Legislation Said to Have Done 'olhing Toward Solving Prob lcjns for Workers. CUSVELAXD, April 14. Samuel Ciompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, here to attend a. convention of cigar makers, today Issued a statement regarding the gen eral Industrial unrest. He said that nothing practical has been done to prevent the high cost of living and that laws made to protect the masses from exploitation have been turned against them. He urged all workers to practice self-restraint, so that rational de mands of labor may be secured. The statement follows: "The condition of the workers in the United States has been tense since the signing of the armistice. That condition has been aggravated by profiteers, by a number of em ployers and by the action of national and state legislators in enacting, or attempting to enact legislation, not of a constructive but of a restrictive character. Not a practical thinjg has been done to prevent the soaring of the price of the necessities of life. I.a tvm Prove Boomerangs. "Laws made to protect the masses t the people from exploitation have been turned against them while the profiteers and exploiters chuckle with glee. ' "No wonder, then, that the workers who did so much to win the war and who are now 33 1-3 per cent worse off financially than before the war .are discontented and resentful on ac count of their present conditions and surroundings. It requires no close social or economic student to under stand the situation. "Unless wages are Increased to meet the increased cost of living, it is equal to a reduction in wages and a corresponding lowering of the workers' standards. "No wonder, then, that we find workers, non-members of organized labor and even some who are union men, becoming impatient and disre garding the discipline usually prac ticed in labor unions. Self-Rrstralnt Is Ursred. "T urge upon all the workers. In theri own interests to organize and practice self-restraint, so that In an orderly and rational manner the de mands of labor may be presented and secured. Little or nothing can be accomplished by wildcat strikes. "Employers, businessmen and men In official and public life, whether in or out of legislative or adminis trative bodies, should also understand the acute situation and heed the normal demands made by the organ ized labor movement, for the rum blings are menacing." Lulu Temple Shriner to Be Assistant Police Chief. Mayor Nominate Philadelphia Moe tor Who Helped Portland Win Convention. ((TT E'S from Lulu temple In Fhila- Xl dclphia, the city of brotherly love. He's coming all the way to Portland to show our police boys just how a crime detecting agency should be operated. I'll pay his salary if you will confirm the appointment as assistant chief of police." Such was the prologue given by Mayor Baker as he introduced an ordinance to the city council appoint ing rr. Edwin S. Mershon. prominent physician of Philadelphia, as assistant chief of police of Portland at a salary of $1 a year, to be paid by the mayor. The ordinance passed, effective Im mediately. It was back in Indianapolis last June that Mayor Baker first deter mined that lr. Mershon was excel lent material for an assistant chief of police for Portland. The discov ery resulted from the following con versation between the newly ap pointed official and Mayor Baker: Mayor Baker: "Will the delegates of Lulu temple support Portland for the convention?" Dr. Mershon: "Of course not." Mayor Baker: "Wonderful city, doctor, the most wonderful in the world, excepting Philadelphia." Dr. Mershon: "If I vote for your city, will you make me assistant chief of police?" Mayor Baker: "Most certainly, not. You may be a wonderful fellow in your own home town, but it takes a real man to be assistant chief of police in Portland." But Dr. Mershon did vote for Port land as did all the other delegates of his temple, and Mayor Baker wrote the following in his ordinance, in dicating that he really didn't mean all he said to the doctor: "Dr. Mershon is a man of sterling character, of unusual worth and i well qualifeid to handle police mat ters. He is especially well qualified to detect anything thar might be com mitted by members of the imperial council of the Ancient Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, during the annual .session to be held in Portland in June." Announcement of the appointment r i-r. .nersnon relieved a severe tension existing in the police depart ment, where rumors that Lieutenant Fred West, now serving as assistant chief of police, was to be displaced were circulated for the past few days. Mayor Baker announced that Lieu tenant West would remain as first assistant chief of police. Under the provisions of the ordi nance appointing Dr. Mershon, he will be permitted to purchase his own uniform, but the city will provide him with an engrossed copy of his appointment as well as a police star.
