IN THE FIELD OF LABOR
Unions Are Actively Co-operating With Tree-Water Association in Secur

(This department la conducted from the t
lion TOlnt Of View and IB designed tO re- I
union point of view and la designed to re-
-view topics under discussion In union labor
ranks from that standpoint.)
THE labor organizations of the city
are actively co-operating with
the Free Water Association in Be-'
curing signatures to the petition to
initiate the free water amendment to
the city charter. The matter is to be
submitted to vote of the people at the
coming election In June.
The essential changes to the city
charter provided by. the amendments
pro-posed by the Free Water Associa
tion are noted as follows: The offices
of superintendent and engineer of the
Water Board are abolished and the
city engineer is given charge of the
plant, while the accounts are turned
'over to the City Auditor. All water
j mains up to the dimensions of four
! Inches are to be laid at the expense
!of abutting property and all water for
the purposes of drinking, cooking,
i washing, bathing and water closets in
households, stores, -workshops and
offices shall he free. Water for all
.commercial purposes is to be furnished
at a flat meter rate with no dlscrim
'lnatton between liners of large or
small amounts, and rates and rules
made to govern Bprinkling and the irri
gation of lawns, yards and gardens.
'A special tax not to exceed 10 cents on
leach $100 of taxable property is pro
vided for In addition to other revenues
for the maintenance and development
of the water system.
In support of the amendments it is
firgued that water is now furnished
that would amount, comparatively
ispeaking, to about 8 cents a 1000 gal
i Ions to consumers of large amounts of
water, as against 25 cents a 1000 gal
lons to consumers of small amounts
for home and domestic use, and for
-which, the amendment proposes, water
will be provided free. At the rate now
made to largo consumers it is said the
city furnishes water at an actual loss,
! and. hence the small consumer is
' forced to pay not only an equitable
, rate, but also an amount sufficient to
make up, at least in part, for the loss
' entailed by the low rate to the big
consumer.
V
Sonvb more or less serious objections
hre thought to exist in that the bene
fits hoped for in providing free water,
especially to the renting population,
would be fully offset by enhanced
rents to cover the additional expense
'to the property-owner; that free water
'privileges would be abused through
waste by careless persons, and that
the principle of getting something for
nothing is essentially wrong.
Against the objections offered. At
torney McAllister, who assisted in
drafting the proposed amendment,
says: "Admitting the possibility that
water rates may be added to rental
charges by landlords, let us not forget
that competition determines rents and
that the many landlords who favor
this amendment will do their share
toward seeing that such advances are
not made. But beyond any such con
siderations do not lose sight of the big
tracts of unimproved lands In our
.city's limits that must pay for water
mains where they would pay nothing
" in this direction as the law now stands.
"I do not think you could suggest
anything that would be of general
lieneftt to the people at large that
-could not be taken advantage of by
, big landlords, but this measure cer-
talnly exacts something In return. It
lls confidently expected the arrange
ment of equitable rates for water will
i provide ample Income to render the
tax unnecessary, and at the same time
make the burden much lower for the
(hundreds of home-owners of limited
means and the added hundreds who
are struggling to pay for homes of
their own. As to the argument of
petting something for nothing. It must
fall to utter nothingness when we re-
fleet that it must also apply to every
thing of real value furnished by the
public, such as free streets, free
schools, free arc lights and free every
thing enjoyed by the people at mu
nicipal expense. The only reason this
argument is advanced is that we are
used to paying for water and are in
the . habit of looking at it as a cash
outlay."
The proposed amendment was drawn
by William R. McGarrs1, and was sub
jected to criticism and revision by
Hon. C. E. S. Wood and E. S. J. Mc
Allister. It is proposed to provide
wide discussion of the amendment dur
ing the campaign.
' Ever since the beginning of the street
car strike charges of unwarranted abuse
of picketing carmen and their frelnds,
end often of innocent pedestrians, by po
lice officers have been persistent and
plenteous. As such complaints are more
or less expected by the general publio
in connection with strikes, it is thought
less attention is being paid to them than
otherwise would be the case. Among the
union labor ranks, however, it is being
generally and by no means quietly matn-
, talned that there is a certain coterie of
policemen who persistently and brutally
exceed both their authority and the needs
of the occasion, by essaying to disperse
peaceful gatherings of people, and who. In
doing so, readily employ physical force as
well as abusive, profane and obscene lan
guage. Complaints are no longer con
fined to those who are essentially inter
ested in the streetcar men's contentions.
An instance has Just been told the writer
personally by a young man who was
caught and roughly pushed forward and
told to move on when he had not so much
as stopped and had no intention of stop
ping. When he turned to protest, the
policeman abruptly turned to another
man, laid hold of him and with curses
and threats ordered him on.- The man
said he was on his way home from work
and, dlspUiying his dinner pan saju he wag
then merely awaiting his car. Notwith
standing that he was then at the point
where he always boarded hiB car, he was
forced to go around a block and Inter
cept his car at another point. While
there was a gathering at the point in
question, there was no disorder.
Similar examples are said to be so fre
quent that men who are not the sort
who make unnecessary noise and boast
say the city will face a case that will
bring it to attention soon if such pro
cedure Is allowed to go on. Much blame
for this condition of affairs is laid, by
the leading representatives of -organized
labor in Portland, directly to Mayor
Lane, who, they maintain, cannot help
but be Informed at least in part, and who
pledged protection and Justice to the car.
men so long as they proceeded peacefully
within the law. It is also maintained
that nothing but peaceful procedure has
been engaged in by the pickets, and that
ever since the memorable Saturday night
when the strike began, every overt act,
every cry of "rat" or "scab" has been
done by others than pickets and entirely
contrary to the wishes and orders of the
union. Notwithstanding these facts, the
police Invariably attack and abuse the
pickets and try to cast the burden of all
the disturbance upon them upon the pre
sumption that they, being the primary
cause of the gathering, are therefore the
cause of disturbance. Union men say
they have no defense whatever for any
man, union or nonunion, who hurls epi
thets or nets in any way ungentlemanly
at any time.
W. H. Fitzgerald, secretary of the

Portland organization in the convention of

prices. After a three days' session a bill
of prices was agreed upon and the same
will be put in 'effect about the first of
April, after -which all union cigarmakers
of the two states will receive uniform pay.
The new scale provides for but slight ad
vances on a few classes of work in Ore
gon shops, but gives material Increases
to cigarmakers in Tacoma, Seattle, Walla
Walla, Everett and Bellingham. Perma
nent organization was effected for pur
poses of mutual assistance and the new
association's affairs are to be looked after
by an advisory board of three. Of this
board Mr. Fitzgerald, the Portland man,
Is chairman, the other members being W.
A. Mitchell, of Spokane, and E. P. Miller,
of Seattle. The time set for the second
convention is in 1M)9 during the Seattle
exposition. In the Interim efforts will be
made to interest 'cigarmakers in- other
states and it is hoped that at the 1909
convention the alliance and uniform price
scale can be extended to California, Idaho
and Montana.
Forty-two out of the 60 odd labor
unions of the city, five Socialist locals
and two locals of Industrial Workers
were represented in the parade and
mass meeting Wednesday night to pro
test against the conduct, of the Moyer-Heywood-Pettlbone
case. No disturb
ance of any kind occurred, and cheer
ing and applause was indulged in by
those who lined the sidewalks, as well
as the paraders. The actions of the
police did not indicate that any trouble
was expected, comparatively few offi
cers being conspicuously on the scene,
while at places friendly exchanges be
tween paraders and police were noted.
Lettered banners and American flags
made clear the purport of the demon
stration. Several bands of music made
the air resound with the familiar
strains of "America," "Star Spangled
Banner," "Red, White and Blue"
"Marching Through Georgia" and oth
er patriotic airs. It was announced
from the platform that 3750 persons
marched in the parade, while the crowd
in the-Armory has been variously es
timated at from 4000 to 6000.
The labor party mass meeting sched
uled for March 1 will occur in A. O.
U. W. Hall, Selling-Hirsch building.
Tenth and Washington streets, and
will be called to order at 8 o'clock.
The call for the meeting says: "It
Is certainly unnecessary to urge upon
our friends their plain duty in this
matter. Every wageworker realizes the
imperative need of such an organiza
tion as the labor party purports to be,
so let us all be there, register our
final kick, if such be due, and start
out upon the campaign under the ban
ner of harmonious unity with hearts
firm and strong and a will for any
strife. This, and nothing more, is
needed to secure the crown of victory
on election day."
The following new officers have Just
been installed by the gralnhandlers'
union: President, Joseph Foley; vice-
president, John Swanson; secretary,
William McClarke; financial secretary,
O. Melby; treasurer, Martin Johnson;
marshal, Ed Kruger; guard, M. Wil
liams; trustees, H. R. Blue. L. L. Ray
and E. P. Stevenson. The organization
is reported flourishing. It meets every
Wednesday night at Davis Hall, cor
ner Russell street and Albina avenue.
An Increase In the wage scale of
Journeymen printers in the book and
job offices of Portland went into ef
fect last Wednesday morning, and is to
continue for a period of three years.
The scale was advanced from $19.20
to $22.50 per week, or a weekly raise
of $3.30.
A social dance was given In Armory
Hall, on Thursday night, by the rail

I ran a machine shop and brass-foundry In -Minneapolis, i the repair work, tnr the Electrical
Street Railways of St. Paul and that city. I was so successful as a mechanic and electrician In this
repairing that I was requested to change every dynamo put In by the General -Electric Co. I saw;
i.11 the troubles of the street railway managers. I found the present system of running street cars
was entirely wrong. ,
I found I could get more power, greater, speed, more safety and comfort by running cars . with,
electro-magnets direct than by the roundabout, mixed-up system now used by electric railways.
I have always been a successful manufacturer and Inventor. I have had charge of 200 expert mechanics
at one time. All of mjt Inventions have made great successes and enormous sums of mouey. The great
successful barb wire business today Is built on my patents.
The best money being made today in the manufacturing of harvesting machines is very largely based
on my Inventions.
I Invented the first switch and turn-out that prevented the trolley wheel on trolley cars from con
stantly Jumping the wire at crossings. i
For fourteen years I have studied how to make cars run faster, cheaper, safer than ever before.
I am done experimenting.
I Have at Last the Greatest Invention of This Century
It will remodel the whole railroad -business, Th ere is not a railroad In this country but that will
sooner or later be compelled to adopt my system, because It is cheaper, faster, safer and more,
money-making than any other system.
. I absolutely control the next great step forward In the railroad world in my patents. WhyT Be
cause steam has run its limit! Steam cannot run a train 100 miles an hour and keep it up. The
trolley and present third-rail system cannot be depended upon for long distances. Their motors are
likely to burn out any minute. With my system I can run a train any distance In any kind of
weather, without a hitch, or breakdown, 80 to 100 miles an hour with perfeot safety. By my sys
tem, if a wheel broke or a rail broke the cars would stay exactly in position on the track. They
could not do otherwise. They could not Jump the track at any speed. It would be Impossible to
run mv cars off the end of a track into a river where a bridge is open. My car would stop itself
even if the leverman were asleep.
I know this whole system to be a Buccess. because I have tried It for two years. During that
time millionaires have tried to 'get control of my system, but I would not let them, because I pre
ferred to protect my own and small stockholders' investments.
Charles T. Terkes offered me J 100,000 if I would throw my invention on the scrap-pile and forget
It. He did not want to be compelled to change his old cable system.
Tom Johnson, of Cleveland, offered to iurnish $200,000 for my patent rights for over eighty miles
an hour.
Wall street capitalists have made five different attempts to gain control over the Leffler Elec-
trie System, and Wall street generally knows a good thing when they see it. I could not afford to
let these big moneyed Interests get contrl. I preferred to go to the small investors, to the people
who. want to make small, but safe and sure investments. I have therefore bound myself to this
company, and to every stockholder, that I will personally see to it that every mam and woman who
makes an investment in this company will get a square deal. This la a square deal from start to
finish.
what they saw and "found. These engineers
are John Erlcson, city engineer of Chicago;
Karl L. Lehman, consulting engineer of Chi
cago, and F. W. Cappelen, former city en
gineer of Minneapolis, Minn.
They declare the system successful, simple
and practical and point out many other fea
tures wherein the Leffler system U an im
mense improvement over any other system
now known to be in existence. Other unpre
judiced and nclen t If lo experts have pro
noun oed the system wonderfully simple and
simply wonderful. The reports will be sent
to any one upon request.
MY AUTOMATIC SIGNAL SERVICE.
I absolutely prevent collisions. Every
where a car moves it sends signals ahead
and behind. It is not affected by storms or
any weather condition. My signal systsm
docs not require either hand or mind of
man to operate it. No wires or poles are
exposed where storms can blow them down
or interfere with them. If through some
accident one signal is broken, or otherwise
put out of commission, another signal im
mediately takes Its place. Every train dis
patcher and operator on the road oan go to
sleep, and my signals will work perfectly
and safely. Even the trainmen have nothing
to do with them. There is no forgetting.
Every signal works automatically. "When
trains coma together too closely, head on or
from the rear, an electric bell rings vigor
ously In the leverman' s cab.
CARS UNDER ABSOLUTE OONTROL.
It is all controlled by one lever. The
leverman starts, steps and reverses with the
same lever. Bnow, ice, sleet, rain, grease,
dirt and such substances do not affect the
power or control of the car or train.
THE BUSINESS "WILL BE IMMENSE
because before long we will be putting my
system on all the standard, street and lnter
urban railways. Just think what an Im
mense business that will be. One company
alone now employs 12,000 men to make the
present electric railway equipments and cars.
Another firm employs nearly as many more.
There are also thousands of men employed
making standard locomotives and equip
ments: All of these will be back numbers,
and will have to go out of business because
this Leffler electric system will take their
place and will employ thousands more.
INVESTIGATE V8 CAREFULLY.
Ccme and see this most remarkable. In
vention of the twentieth century.
This is such an opportunity as does not
come to any one once in a hundred years,
to get in on the ground floor on a proposi
tion bound to make millions. It is the next
great forward step in the railroad world.
It means the ultimate changing of every
present steam and street railroad over to
the Leffler system, not only because it can
run faster, but it saves about half In operat
ing expenses and thousands of Uvea
It means faster and cheaper travel and
greater profits to the railroad managers and
stockholders.
I cannot describe the system fully here. I
have done this in a booklet which I will send

SHREWD INVESTORS MARE FORTUNES.
THIS IS YOUR CHANCE ACT
WISELY
AND QUICKLY.
Don't let this opportunity slip by. As
soon as ths world learns what a simple,
money-saving and money-earning system
this is the money-making instincts of the
railway managers will force them to adopt
It. Thee will mean millions for ths stock,
holders. The profits and dividends can't
help but be something wonderful.
Oreo fortunes are made nowadays by peo
ple who make Judicious investment of their
savings and earnings.
Saving money doesn't maks you rich. It
Is making the money work for you while
you are working that brings wealth.
Invest your savings in something sure to
bring the greatest returns. Bankers get rich
by doing that with the money you deposit
with them, and they pay you only 3 or 4
per cent for the use of your money. Why
not do as ths banker does and get all ths
profits yourself?
Here is such an opportunity as may never
come your way again. Such great things as
this do not come more than once In a cen
tury. It is up to you to act carefully, wisely
and intelligently. Investigate every claim I
make. Go Into it thoroughly. Find out for
yourself that I have the greatest railway
system ever devised, and don't Invest one
cent unless you are perfectly satisfied. I
have Just what I claim to have. Ask all
ths questions you want to and I will answer
every question honestly and squarely.

pipes or conduits in the streets, which is
now such a heavy expense to cities under

It is all controlled by one lever, and Is
always under the most absolute control
anywhere and under all conditions.
It is noise lesn. since there are no geer
Ings. motors or other machinery to
grind, squeak or rattle.
There aro ho "burn-outs' of motors,
because there are no motors to burn out.
It Is impossible for man or beast to
get a shock from an electric current.
POINTS TO REMEMBER ABOUT THE
LEFFLER SYSTEM TAKING THE
PLACE OF TRESENT STEAM

It does away entirely with locomotives,
heavy motor cars, electric engines and all

rain or any other weather condition.
Less than one-quarter of the fuel is
needed.

quicker than by any other system
and without discomfort to passengers.
Power houses can be placed 200 miles
apart.
No brakes are required. The stopping,
Is done by reversing the current.
There is no flattening of the wheels
and consequent jogging of ths cars.
Wheels do not grind on the raits to start
trains, hence no holes and depressions
are made.
It is easier on the roadbed and cars,
and practically no repairs will be needed.
