The injunction was asked for In a suit filed by the company against the Fuel and Sand Teamsters' Ixcal Union No. 809, Team Drivers International Union, Charles. Conroy, as president; C. V. Morris, as secretary, and E. Tooley, as busijie&s manager, of Fuel and Sand Teamsters' Local Union No. 203; Team Drivers' International Union, Joseph "Wells. August "Wlman, E. Tooley, W. E.

Barrett and others. The restraining order issued by the court was as follows: "It is ordered that the defendants and each of them show cause at 2 P. M. on the 10th day of July, 1902, before Hon. M. C. George, in chambers, why a writ of injunction should not issue herein, as prayed for In the complaint, and that In the meantime and until the further order of the court, the said defendants and each of them, their servants, agents and em ployes be and they are hereby restrained and enjoined from Intimidating the em ployes of the plaintiff, or any of them, or those seeking to enter the employ of the plaintiff, or any of them, by force or by threats of violence, and from interfering in any way with the teams and wagons of the plaintiff and from, assaulting or ston ing or otherwise molesting the employes of the plaintiff." The complaint sots forth that the Banfield-Veysey Fuel Company is a corpora tion engaged in the business of buying and selling wood, and has over 5100,000 .in vested. It is alleged that teamsters- were employed at the rate of $2 25 per day of 10 hours, and some men wore employed who owned their own. teams, who were paid compensation for the teams and besides for their labor. It is stated that on June 25, 1902, on the command of Tooley. Conroy and Morris, acting for the union, the teamsters aban doned their places and have since con spired and confederated together to de stroy the business of the company, and prevent it from making sales and delivery of wood. The acts complained of are: First Interrupting and following wag ons and calling the new drivers vile names and threatening them with violence unless they take the teams to the barn and cease work. Second Following and threatening the drivers.. Third Throwing stones' at them. Fourth Knocking out the end gates of wagons and causing the wood to be dumped into the street, and surreptitiously taking nuts and fastenings from the wheels and causing wagons to break down. Fifth Following and threatening the teamsters. Sixth Commanding the horses to stop and to go ahead, making them unman ageable. It Is charged that the strikers act in concert, and that the plaintiff has enough men if they are not interfered with. It is further alleged that the defendants are insolvent and could not respond to dam ages if sued and a verdict obtained against them. "W. y. Mulr appears as attorney for the Banfield-Veysey Company.

PORTLAND. July 5. (To the Editor.) Tour editorial In today's Oregonlan Is well timed and true inasmuch as it shows that the direct sufferers from workmen's strikes are not the employers and em ployes, but the community at large. This was demonstrated by New Zealand many years ago, whose Legislature, before put ting into operation state arbitration, ap pointed a royal commission to investigate and find, first, who were the sufferers from strikes; and, second, what was the remedy therefor. This commission, after a long and dis interested Investigation, reported to the Legislature of New Zealand: First That while the workmen during the strike suf fered a reduction of their wages and In direct losses, yet their brother unions came to their relief by "keeping the wolf from their doors," in temporary supply ing enough moneys to aid in the support of their families. Second That the capl, tallst employers of la"bor 'lost little or nothing, and in some cases made a great er profit through these strikes. How? Third By increasing In multitudinous ways the alleged cost ofproductlon and value of the materials manufactured, re couping their losses from the public at large, and leaving tho community In directly in other respects to suffer de preciation of values of property. I am glad The Oregonlan points out that In man, Poulsen & Co. and others admit this fact, and practically that the public have to suffer. It was to protect the citizens of New Zealand and not the employers and em ployes alone, that that country adopted state arbitration. Are the people of Orogon legislatively going to do nothing? I urga their remedy is to follow the same bourse as New Zealand that is, enact a system of forced or state arbitra tion. If the latter had not been a com plete success there we might hesitate to adopt it in Oregon. But the contrary lias been demonstrated by an experience of some years. While in New Zealand I investigated the 'operations of the state arbitration board thore, arid during the period of my visit some nine months four or five cases of workmen's disputes came before. them, and were so speedily decided (de cisions being in force for two years only) that practically -no losses occurred cither to the public, workmen, or employers of labor. I may hereafter point out In -your col umns at greater length, the law and modus operandi of state arbitration of New Zealand. I feel satisfied, however, that If adopted by our next Oregon Legis lature, with some modification to suit the requirements of this state, it will be as great a. success here as the Australian and New Zealand ballot law has been In Oregon. WILLIAM REID. The Oregonlan has printed many col umns in explanation and qualified advo cacy of the New Zealand system. It has no doubt, furthermore, that bills along these lines will be Introduced at Salem this Winter, and it is highly probable that some such measure will be passed. ANNUAI, FIRE REPORT. Chief Campbell Makes Recommenda tions to Commissioners. Tho annual meeting of the Board of Fire Commissioners "nas held yesterday afternoon, and Mr. Fleldner was re-elected chairman. The annual report of Fire Chief Campbell was submitted and was in part as follows: "The month Just closed has been an ex ceptional one, in that we have had a larger number of fires than usual, several of them very eerlous ones, with heavy losses. A distressing feature of the month's record is the fact that at the flro in the Portland Cracker Company's plant iour persons were Durnea, one xaiaiiy. owing 10 me explosion oi a oarrei oi alco hol; and at the Povcy Bros, fire. District Engineer Young was Injured by being cut severely while breaking In a window, and caught by a falling floor and his back badly Injured. The physicians consider u cabe a very criucai one. xnere nas alFO been a large amount of general work. Altogether we have had a very busy munin, "On KnJtirtv Tnnn 91 of- 11 V T "T occurred the most serious firp trhlrh this city has experienced in years, the manu facturing ana warenouse district, on tne east side of the river, between East Clay street and the Troy Laundry building, being swept over completely. The work of the department was seriously handi capped by the utter lack of an adequate water sppply. Throughout this entire dis trict there is but one water main, that of six Inches In diameter. In addition to which there was but one place where we couia ana did locate an engine to take suction from the river. We also laid in several lines from clstcrs on East Clay and Grand avenue, and a hydrant on East Clay and Union avenue, these lines being from 1600 to 2000 each in lencth. "Our experience of the month Just passed most forcibly demonstrates the need of a fire-boat, of larger water mains and of a full paid fire department. With all these Improvements I know your hon orable body is in full sympathy, and with myself, I hope the time may come when means shall be available for the providing of them. "AS a matter of Infnrmfitlnn T tyi. on v. Portland Is the only city of the Pacific uaei yet retaining the call system, or a part-paid fire department San Francisco, Tacoma, Seattle and Spokane each have a full-paid fire department. "At the big fire on he east side of the river about 1000 feet of our hose was de stroyed, some being burned and some of tho old hose bursted, this hose being too old and In too bad a condition for repair. Two fire-alarm boxes, on poles which were burned, are thus lost, and three tire hy drants went down with the burned road ways and are somewhat damaged. We burned, during service at that fire, 15 tons of coal. I would recommend that all of tho above material and equipment be re placed and the three hydrants repaired. "C. Howard worked seven days helping the supply driver, repairing hydrants and cisterns, at 52 a day. June 1 W 03rien resigned as hose driver of engine com pany No. 1 and I promoted George Btln son, extra man, of the same company, to O'Brien's position. I appointed Ben Sle bela as extra man in engine company No. 1, vice George Stlnson, promoted; W. Wal gomat, extra man of engine company No. X. resigned; B. Stephenson appointed in his place; C. Campbell, foreman chemical company No. 4, resigned, and I promoted C. W. Smith, extra man of 'truck com pany No. 2, to Campbell's position. I ap pointed Dan Shaw, vice C. W. Smith; Ed McPhearson, extra man truck company No. 2, resigned, and I appointed John Green in his place; George Wlggs, extra man In truck company No. 3, and Robert King, extra man of hose company No 1 resigned. ' ' t "JJ June 6 X turacd out to pasture at auua iarm tnree norses, owing to sick ness and lameness. 'As our companies have been running short of hose, I would recommend that 2000 feot, in addition to the 1000 feet, which was destroyed at the recent fire on the East Side, be purchased at once. There should also be purchased one-half dozen Iron covers for cisterns and four dozen Iron covers for gates, and the cisterns should all be overhauled and connected up with larger feed pipes. I would also call your attention to the need of a large wagon for hauling coal, and also the need of an extra hose wagon If any of our hose wagons should meet with an accident, that company would be out of service until such wagon could be repaired. As It is now, we should have two more horses. .w t.i..i.. horses from Frazier & McClean, taking ZT i .. xour orae9 mat are sick and crippled." WHERE IS THE'ECONOMY? But the Fees Do Xot Amonnt to $50,- OOO. Corvallls Gazette. . We are told that a special session of !eSlslature 'n'111 result n lopping off p.000 of expense to the state this com ing year. Investigation discloses the fact that this sum represents fees and per quisites now being. drawn by the various state officers. Moreover, this 550 000 or the great bulk of it, comes out of 'the pockets of corporations and private in dividuals, and lopping It off will not lessen the burden on the taxpayer In the least But the acceptance of fees or perquisites, from whatever source by state officers is a violation of the Con stitution. Then tho new Legislature can put a stop to this unconstitutional pro ceeding immediately, and the "saving" can be made as completely and as ef fectively as a special session could make As for flat salaries, the Constitution al ready provides for them. To be sure the salaries provided by that document are ridiculously small In some instances but the Legislature has no power to raise them without a Constitutional amend ment On this point Congressman-Elect J. N. Williamson, who 'Is a member of the Leg islature, representing Wasco, Crook. Lake and Klamath Counties, pertinently re marks: "The first thing we will do down at Salem next Winter is to hold up our hands and swear that during our delibe rations we will support the Constitution of the State of Oregon, which will either result in some very modest salaries, or a stretching of that old and badly out grown document until it Is very thin in spots." We fall to see the economy in holding a special session of the Legislature next year, at an expense of 515,000 or 520 000 to taxpayers, even If It should result in a saving of 550.000, as Is claimed, to cor porations and private Individuals.

The Fourth passed with but few of tho usual accidents occurring from the acci dental explosion of firecrackers and the careless handling of fireworks; yet thero were a few cases In which serious In juries were sustained. On the East Side D. S. Bellinger, a young man. in the cm ploy of the Buffalo Pitts Company, re ceived an Injury which will cost him one of his eyes and disfigure his face for life. He was trying- to touch off a cannon, and the powder accidentally tught and flashed up in his face, burning it very badly and Injuring both of his eyes. Dr. Byron E. Miller was called in and spent two hours picking the powder from hla face. He says that there seems to be no probiblllty that the Injuries will prove fatal, but that one of his eyes Is so badly injured that he cannot hope to save it In South Portland, Arthur Luft who drives a delivery wagon for Honeyman, DeHart & Co., narrowly escaped being killed, and sustained Injuries that will badly disfigure his face. He wis stand ing on a building watching the fireworks, when a skyrocket that had been acci dentally pointed toward him when it was exploded struck him .In tho face, knock ing him from the building, and cutting his face and mouth so badly that It was necessary to take 22 stitches to close np tho wound. He was taken to the North Pacific Sanltorium. and It Is stated that he is doing well and that aside from an ugly scar no serious consequences will follow the accident Another fireworks accident was that of C. King, of Raleigh, who, while not ser iously Injured, received a very painful wound by a falling skyrocket stick. The stick fell among a large crowd of spec tators, and It is counted almost miracu lous that tho lnjurj' was not of a graver sort It struck King on the arm, and the force was so great that it tore his coit badly and made a bad flesh wound. Had It struck any one on the head, or in a moro vital place, the force was enough to have caused very serious injuries, or even death. m K A little girl named Fanny Martin, while plajtfng with a number of other children at tho intersection of Eleventh, and Yam hill streets, was also the victim of bad luck, and was painfully burned on the limbs and arms. Her dress caught lire from a firecracker, and had got good headway before the girl knew it One of her playmates noticed the fire, but before it could be put out she had been badly burned and suffered much before any thing could be done to relieve her. FEW BOATS ARE RUNNING Employers Say They Are Holding: Their Onrn So Do Engineers. The situation In the strike of the marine engineers was unchanged yesterday and a majority of the boats were still unable to run. The employers stated that they had secured a few more engineers, and that spme of their boats were running that had been tied up the day before. The tie-up Is not broken, however, and many are still Inconvenienced by the Idleness, of the boats. Nothing was done during' the day toward the settlement of the trouble, ana there is no prospect of a settlement In the near fuure. Meetings were held by both the employers and the employes. The engineers had had no communication from the employers, and took no action. The employers stated that their 'ineetlng had no bearing on the strike situation, and that they had mere ly met to talk over some matters of com mon Jnercst The engineers received a communica tion that the NIckum & Kelly Company had met the schedule of wages on their boat known as the Hustler, but this con cession will1 have but little Influence upon tho situation. . PRAISE FOR HER WO.RK. Illgli Compliment for Mrs. Edith To zier WcntUerred. NEW YORK, June 20. (To the Editor.) Just a line to congratulate the people of Oregon upon possessing so able a repre sentative In connection with their forth coming exposition s Mrs. Edith Tozltr Weatherred. As a delegate to the Inter national League of Press Clubs, recently held in Boston, and as a member of the governing board of that body I watched with interest and pleasure the effective but unobtrusive manner In which she kept the delegates talking about the great ness of the great Northwest In my Judg ment the expenditure of hundreds and thousands of dollars could not have mado the newspaper men and newspaper women as familiar with the plan and scope of the Lewis and Clark celebration as did tne efforts of this one woman. If you "have any more at home" like Mrs. Weatherred, In my opinion, your exhibition cannot fall to prove a great success. WALTER SCOTT, Rec. Sec New York Press Club. THROUGH THE COLUMBIA RIVER GORGE.

SCIENTIFIC FEEDING. And Exercise Solves the Problem. Dr. H. L. Warner, In a recent issue- of the New York World, says: "Only a small percentage of the American people have perfect digestion, and assimilation of food and the elimina tion of the waste matters of the body. In the matter of food and exercise, the whole problem of health Is contained. By making these right, we can create perfect health. "Digestive disturbances are due either to Improper, food or too much or too little proper food. With proper food taken in reasonable amounts, the Imperfect actions of the various processes are corrected. "This is not a fad, but a fact established by the researches of pathologists and bacteriologists. The action of foods on the digestive and assimilative organs is known exactly. The result to the blood and through It to the whole system Is certain and definite." The most highly nutritive food now man ufactured Is Grape Nuts. It Is made from pertain narts of the eraln nnrt Tint thrnmrh a mechanical process whereby the starches are changed to grape sugar and the phos phates of the cereals retained and thus supply the necessary nourishment and vitality to the body, brain and nerve cen ters.
