8 THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN. PORTLAjtfD, MAT; 34, TO DELAY BRIDGE? City & Suburban Company Has the, Power AND IT WAWTS CONCESSIONS If Project for TTctt MorrlnoH-Stret Structure Carrie at tke Poll, Execative Board "Will Make Jfegotlatlons, Will the new bridge acrose the "Will amette at Morrison street he delayed, and If bo. how Ions? The answer depends on yrh&t the City & Suburban Railway Com pany will do. This company holds a franchise over the old bridge and before it gives up its privileges it will treat lor the best terms it can get. Two concessions the company will man ipulate for: First, a cash or other com pensation for Its present franchise on the bridge; second, retention of its present .,nidTi tmnehlses to the approaches of the bridge or exchange lor other valuable i privileges. If the company can approaches it can - virtually continue Its noYinTiniv" of the hVldce. The" city may permit more than one company to lay tracks In a street, but the streets leading to the bridge are too narrow for mora tracks, and the City & 'Suburban, which owns the tracks already there, could continue to use them exclu sively, unless the tracks were acquired Eby the city for-the common use of all companies. . , The City & Suburban does not know Tdmt procedure It will follow, "We'll wait and see." is its announcement. It denies any desire or intention to resort to litigation. "That's the last thing wed do," was its announcement yesterday. "Wait and See," Says Sivigert. C. F. .Swlgert, manager of the company, regarded the terms Imposed by the act as unfair and extremely burdensome and mid so tin emphatic Janguage. But he could not be drawn out on the question whether his company would accept those terms. ' "We'll wait and. see," he eald. '"The fact is that the directors have never discussed the question at their meetings and they do not know what they will do." "The terms are unreasonable and un precedented," said Mr. Swlgert with a. strong I-mean-lt tone to his voice. "I don't know of another city where street car companies pajr tolls for crossing a free bridge. Between Pittsburg and Allegheny cars pay tolls, but so does all other traffic. We're willing to pay tolls, of course we are. But to our way of thinking It's monstrously unfair to make us pay exorbitantly high tolls when other traffic can go over the bridge for nothing. There's the Standard OH Company, the Studebaker Company, the Buffalo-Pitts Company and a lot of others "'using the bridge absolutely free. And we should have to pay the expense of maintaining the new bridge for the benefit of those companies. Why do they go to the East Side. Is It because they can dp business cheaply on cheap property? The City & Suburban Is the only company that is penalized for doing business in East'Port land. "And for -what purpose?" asked Mr. Swlgert sarcastically, "should those com panies be given free use of the bridge at pur expense? So that they could send more than 95 per cent of the dollars they collect here to their head offices In the Bast? So that they could get off with paying less taxes and our company, which has Its homo here, could be taxed heavier?" "How much taxes do the Standard Oil end the Studebakers pay?" was asked "Goodness knows! I don't," responded Mr. Swlgert. "And I fancy if I searched the assessment rolls to find out, I'd have to use a large-sized microscope. The fact is that the people who holler loudest for the other fellow to pay. are the slowest to pay themselves. There's the Studebaker Company. It has been hollering for a new bridge at ourexpense for the benefit of an outside corporation which sends 95 per cent of the dollars It collects here back East. And there's my friend Flan ders, of the Standard Oil, who's in the same fix. Yes, you can quote me for all I've said. I suppose that Brother Brannlck and Friend Flanders will be over to see me, but I'll be glad to receive them. Indeed I shall. "Our company has a long trackage in East Portland. The fares are the same for the long rides over the bridge as for the short rides where there would be no tolls to pay. The long-distanco traffic is obviously the less profitable. And yet we are to be further penalized for this long-distance traffic over the river. We regard it as unreasonable for tho city to penalize us for transporting a passenger, say from Rlverview to St. Johns or to Mount Tabor for 5 cents. Rather Build Their O-ivn Bridge. "You may say that this company would iriadly nay back to the city all It received for the bridge, together with accrued in terest and would charge the city nothing Sor the uso of the structure these eight years past, if the city would restore the bridge to ud. You may say further that wo would rather build the new bridge ourselves and charge tolls of 1 cent per foot passenger and 5 cents per wagon or team, than be subjected to the Injustice of this new act. Or, we would rather nulld a bridge for tho sole use of our cars. Under the terms of this new act we must bear three-fourths of the Interest on the cost of the new bridge besides con tributing In taxes to the other one-fourth. Wo must pay a minimum toll of 312,000 per year, which is the Interest on $300,000 at per cent. The maximum cost of the bridge will be $400,000." "Will you take the matter into the courts "Oh. no; that's the last thins the com. pany would do." "Will you endeavor to knock out the law?" A negative wave of the hand came from Mr. Swlgert to emphasize a denial of any eucn intention. will you resist condemnation of the approaches to the bridge?" "The company does not desire to take tne matter into the courts at all." This reply was quite, decisive. "But the law Is mandatory. How. then co you nope to escape its terms?" "I don't know," was the simple reply. "V ire'U wait -and see." "Would you be content to accent the new terms in return for a substantial sum of money to offset the loss of your present irancnise? ' Mr. Swlgert didn't rive a direct renlv to this question, but his manner Indicated that the method suggested might be one or tne ways out of the difficulty. .Elector to Vote Jbbc 3 One week from tomorrow electors of Portland will vote on the question whether to authorize the Executive Board to build the new bridge: "to purchase or acquire by condemnation any property that may be necessary therefor, and to issue and sell bonds to obtain funds to construct said bridge and pay for such property.' At tho same time electors will vote whether to authorize the Executive Board to acquire an additional freo ferry for Alblna and to authorize a special com mission to establish a free ferry at Sell wood. Should a majority of the voters declare In favor of either or all of these three projects, the city authorities are re quired to proceed with carrying out the ones authorized. This week a campaign will be .waged for the three projects. The exponents of the tmvh&ridff xiiv-fe paxtleulirly..- Rctlv. The East Portland Improvement Aaeocli tion has appointed a committee to work up sentiment for the new bridge. "The old bridge constricts the growth of the city," says the association. "It taxes the city heavily for maintenance. It Is inadequate to the traffic of the city. It is growing old and unsafe. It Is an eye sore. A new bridge is necessary and will be a, good investment for it will be self maintaining. The city will simply lend Its credit for raising $400,000 or less from bonds. Street-car companies will pay for the use of the. bridge enough or nearly enough money to meet Interest charges. The new bridge will therefore cost the city less than the old structure is now doing for repairs." At the last session of the Legislature an act was passed to authorize the city to carry out tho three projects mentioned in the foregoing', provided they should be approved by a referendum vote Of the electors of Portland. The election will be held June 1. If the bridge project shall be approved, the Executive Board shall "first enter into negotiations with the City & Suburban Railway Company for the surrender of Its present lease and franchise, and any and all other rights or privileges it his in, to or upon the pres ent Morrison-street bridge and ap proaches thereto." In exchange for the present "franchise rights and privileges, the board may issue TO THEIR DEAD COMRADES SFAKISK-AKEKIOAir VETERANS T9 DEDICATE MOXCXE5T.

It was with a deep feeling of gratitude, shared by thousands of good women all WILL START LAUNDRIES KXPL9TERS DESFAXJC OB AGREE MKXT WITH TJNIOX. , After Final Effert, TJaey Decide te Operate Five Plants em Monday "With Xeaulea' Meau Five of the steam laundries which have been closed for the past two weeks will reopen tomorrow with nonunion employes. The managers of these establishments have been busy for several days finding enough' nonunion men and women to op erate their plants, and they believe that they are now in a position to run inde pendently of -the Laundry workers' Union. All the members of the Portland Laun drymen's Association have aided one an other In the effort to secure noniinlon em ployes. The managers of nine steam laundries belong to the association, and they have worked together in the attempt to show" the Laundry workers' Union that its members are not indispensable. The laundries which are to start are the THE REAL THING! LEWI 5 AND CLARK MEETING THE MANDANS. FAMOUS PA1XTIXG TO BE EXHIBITED AT THE LEWIS AKD CLARK FAIR.

But every car of the City & Suburban is to pay a toll of 3 cents per trip, and the minimum annual sum of tolls Is to be 512.000. Other com panies are to pay 5 cents. Po-irer to Condemn Franchise. But if the City & Suburban should. re fuse to accept a new franchise in lieu of the old, the Executive Board shall have power to throw over the project or to proceed to condemn the "franchise rights and privileges" of the company. The City & Suburban Tery probably will not resort to litigation, because It could get better terms from the Executive Board. If a Jury should award the com pany, say. $200,000. the Improvement might be delayed, because only $200,000 would be left of the $400,000 authorized, and that sum would be Inadequate. But delay from this cause Is unlikely, in the first place, because the board would probably rely upon tho Legislature's authorizing a fur ther bond Issue: and in tho second place because no Jury would award a very large sum of money. Even an outside Jury or a change or venue coma naraiy do ex pected to bring the company much money. The company knows full well that it will do better by dealing directly with the city. Besides, if litigation should profit the company in one way it would aamage it in another, because by the terms of tho act, in such case, the city would have power to hold up the company "at sucn rales and upon such terms and conditions as may be for the best Interest of said City of PortlandT' provided tnat & cents shall be the maximum toll for a car. The act was carefully drafted so that the com pany would have vers little to gain and very much to lose by resorting to litiga tion. Furthermore, the longer the company delays, the lontrer Its traffic Is Impeded, and the greater grows the danger to life and DrdDerty. If the oriage snouia col lapse under a heavy car and passengers should be maimed or killed, tho cost in damages would be very heavy to the com pany, oeciuse wo ciiy or chudij wum not be held liable. City Makes Concessions. But rather than submit to the expense and delay of condemnation proceedings the city would probably bo willing to make concessions. These concessions would be along the lines already men tionednamely, exchange of the now ex isting "franchises, rights and privileges. for others the most valuable the company could get. The Legislature conferred on the city, subject to referendum, the power to con demn the railway franchises approaching the bridge. This power was bestowed In order to enable other street-car companies than the City & Suburban to reach the bridge, for even If the city had authority to franchise more than one company on the bridge, other companies must obvi ously be permitted to approach the struc ture. Citr Auditor Devlin has sent out no tices 'of the election to the Judges and clerks. (Election booths and furniture have been borrowed from tho county. The. polls will be open from 1 to 7 P. JL "Each elector shall bo a registered quali fied voter In the City of Portland, and shall have printed or written on his bal lot, if voting.for Its acceptance, the words "For Morrison-street, bridge act," and If voting for its rejection, "Against Morrison-street bridge act" After the bridge is finished the Execu tive Board shall turn It over to the County Court. Should the bridge be destroyed, all street-car franchises would end. Should the act for a free ferry at Sell wood be sustained in referendum, the Mayor shall appoint a commission of three members, who shall issue 515,000 in bonds on the credit of the city to estab lish the ferry. The three Commissioners shall be taxpayers and shall be appointed within SO days from the time the act goes into effect This commission shall turn the ferry over to the County Court. For the "additional ferry" at Alblna the Executive Board, provided the act is sus tained, will sell $50,000 worth of bonds. of the Spanish-American veterans. In reference to the exercises. Department Commander C. U. Gantenbeln has issued the following general orders: General orders No. 2. Spanish-American War Veterans, Department of Oregon. Portland, Or., May a, 1903. L The Rlverview monument, erected in the State Military plot to the departed members of the Second Oregon United States Volunteer Infantry by their sur viving comrades, will be dedicated Sun day, May 24, 1903, at 3 o'clock P. M. The unveiling and dedication of the monu-, ment will conform to the ritual of tho or der of Spanish-American War Veterans. Governor George E. Chamberlain, Hon. H. W. Scott and Chaplain W. S. Gilbert have consented to deliver addresses ap propriate to the occasion. 2.

All relatives of deceased Second Ore gon volunteers, whether burled In Rlver view or elsewhere; members of the aux iliaries of the various camps of the Spanish-American War Veterans, veterans of the Civil, Iridlan and Mexican wars are invited to meet the Spanish-American War veterans at the cemetery, where sen-Ices will begin promptly at 3 o'clock P. M. By order of C. U. GANTENBEIN, Department Commander. JOSIAH KEMP, Adjutant. (Official.) The ceremonies at the cemetery will consist of music by De Caprlo's band and a quartet of voices, addresses by Gov ernor Chamberlain, H. W.

The unveiling cere mony proper will be conducted according to the ritual of the Spanish-American War Veterans' Association by Depart ment Commander Gantenbeln and Senior VIoe-Commander McDonelL The monument memorializes the 66 mem bers of the Second Oregon, who were killed In a battle or died from wounds or disease, and is the result of a move ment begun shortly after the regiment was mustered out. Its total cost Is about $1300, and It Is as fine a piece of work as could be obtained for that amount of money. All veterans of the war with Spain, the Civil, Mexican or Indian wars and the general public are invited to attend the dedicatory exercises. over the United States that Veteran's able letter was read In Saturday morn ing's paper concerning the Woman's Re lief Corps, auxiliary to the G. A. R., vs. the Ladles of tho G. A. R. The former is doing all In Its power to encourage and spread patlrotlsm by welcoming to Its corps all good, respectable women, regardless- of relationship or creed. Dur ing the Civil War more loyal women and girls worked side by side scraping lint, raveling linen, knitting finger mittens and socks, doing up Jellies and other dainties for the noble boys at the front than did the relations, as, alas! too many of' those were obliged to stay at home to work in places of the brave boys, who were, not then nor now the particular pets of their relations, but of the whole Na tion, and the soldiers today would be showing a very ungrateful, Ignoble spirit to want to bar out their friends of auld lang syne. True it is, as Veteran states, "'if the Ladles of ithe G. A. R. were united with the Woman's Relief Corps they would be a greater power for good." As It is, they are doing harm by pulling out the props of the grand old Relief Corps, not so much In large cities like City, the Union, the Pacific, the Oregon and the Oppra-House. It is possible that they will not be able to begin actual work Monday morning, but It is the intention of the managers to start washing as soon as practicable thereafter. Between 60 and CO persons will be put to work. Before deciding to open the laundries withTnonunion help', the managers made a last attempt to get their men back to work. They offered the union a "higher rate of -pay, but still held out for the ten hour day, which has caused all the trou ble. This was refused by the Shirt, Waist andLaundryworkers' Union, and the as sociation members thereupon made known their intention of running their plants with nonunion employes. " It Is claimed by one or two of the asso ciation members that a number of the union workers will return to work on a ten-hour-day basis. Officers of the union, however, deny this and say that they can account for every man and woman In the union.

Whatever advantages capital aas in tne courts, organized labor is as wen supplied. The party of the first part Is equal In strength to the party of the second part; but the long suffering party of the third part, the people, have not vet commenced to enjoin or defend themselves.

More than 350 employes have been out of. work, and it is estimated that $5000 in wages has been lost. The laundry oper ators decline to give an estimate of the amount of their losses, but the total will doubtless reach well into the thousands.

The executive committee of the Laun- drymen's Association has Issued a state ment setting forth the reasons for open ing tho laundries. The association has apparently despaired of Inducing its old employes to work In a body. Following Is the statement: After .several meetings with the commit tee appointed by the Federated Trades and the Laundryworkers' Union, we find it is impossible to adjust our differences.
