9 mum STRAUS VISITS PORTLAND Explains His Policy as Secre tary of Commerce and Labor. STANDS FOR SQUARE DEAL Expects His Subordinates to Do Their Duty Without Fear or ' Favor Tendered Reception at Commercial Club. Oscar S. Straus, Secretary of Com merce and Labor in President Roose velt's cabinet, -arrived In Portland at 4:30 P. M. yesterday. He was met at the Union Station by a committee from the Commercial Club consisting of C. W. Hodson, president of the Commer cial Club; S. G. Reed, president of the Chamber of Commerce; Wall is Nash, president cf the Board of Trade; Fletcher Linn, president of the Manufacturers- Association; State . Senator -Sis; Sichel, W.'B. Glafke, Dr. J. - R. W'eatherbee, B. II. Trumbull and Ed ward Ehrman. Mr. Straus was escorted to the Port land hotel where, comfortably seated in the rathskeller, -he was the center for an hour of a welcoming; circle of friends and officials. Then he devoted the remaining time until the reception in his honor at the Commercial Club at S o'clock in conferring with his assist ants and heads of various departments under his direction located In or near Portland. "The Department of Commerce and Labor' Is perhaps the largest depart ment under the Federal Government)' said Mr. Straus last night. "That is, not necessarily in the number of men directly employed, for of course that of the Army, for Instance, has more men directly under it, but in its far-reaching influence on thedaily lives of the people. The Department of Commerce and Labor consists' of 12 bureaus as follows: Corporations, Immigration, Labor, Census, standards of Weights and Measures, . Navigation, Fisheries, Steamship Inspection Service, Light house Establishment, Coast and Geo graphic Survey, Manufacturies, Sta tistics and Alaskan Fur Seal Service. High Officers In Service. Under all this are over 10.500 em ployes, many of them the highest offi cers in te service of the Government. The head of the Lighthouse Service, for Instance, is an Admiral of the Navy, and his assistants Include many Naval officers of the rank of commanders and captains. "It Is, of course, impossible for one man at the head of the department to have a working knowledge of it all in its 12 or more main branches. The lighthouse service alone, as I have Jnst Indicated, is'a life study in itself. And the earn with any of the others; that of weights and standards, -for Instance, requires as much ability and study from a man as does the chair of physics in Harvard College. All I can do as the head of the department is to keep them all working smoothly together and to help decide some of the main questions of Importance as they arise. "For Instance, the inspection of steam ships; the exact details of such inspec tion must be left to practical men, but I have ordered that the inspections shall be. four times a year instead of only once B year as heretofore, and that these In spections shall he inspections in every cense of the word. No man need fear petting into trouble under me from a steamboat captain or owner with a 'pull.' I don't care who or how big he is or they are. if the inspector finds rotten lire nose on board and lies up the vessel till things are in ship shape. Ignores Money Interests. "In the carrying of human freight the first consideration as long as I am at the head of this department shall be safety; profits must take care of them selves when the question of risking human life arises. There will be no more Slocum horrors If I can prevent it. "Now In regard to immigration: Here is a feature not generally known in re pard to immigrants, within the past 23 years these very people coming to us from other shores have brought with tliem new industries never before known In America to such an extent that the number of industries in this country for that time has increased from about 435 to over SG20. Think what this means, a gain in new Industries in a quarter of a century of over 2000 per cent! Often the immigrant himself is worth little to us. but what he knows how to do and teaches others to do is often in the end worth millions of dollars to the American people. "I left Washington, went to and through Canada, conferring with Various officials, and the soul of courtesy and co-operation I found them, too; then to Seattle. Tacoma and Portland. From here I shall go to San Francisco and from there to Hawaii, whence I shall return to San Francisco and go direct to Wash ington, arriving the first week in Septem ber, unless something greatly changes my present plans. Gaining Personal Knowledge. "This trip is to get acquainted with each department as far as possible right on the ground, and to make the personal acquaintance of the splendid men doing the practical work rlght'ln the field, and to assure these men face to face that each and every one of them will have my full and personal support in doing his fluty, no matter what trouble it leads Mm Into with powerful influences seeking to evade the law. A man cannot run a business as large as is the .Department of Commerce and" Labor by sitting at a desk all the time: to get the .best results he must get right out in touch with things and the men under him. And this is what I am trying to do during this trip." The Concordia Club through Its acting president, Adolphe Wolfe planned to give Mr. Straus a banquet Monday, but because of his short stay in Portland the plans have been changed to an Informal dinner at the Portland Hotel at 1 o'clock today. , The' Commercial' Club, the Manufac- turers Association, ' the Chamber of Commerce and the Board of Trade joined in welcoming Mr. Straus -at an Informal reception In the Commercial Club rooms-last night. President Hod eon" welcomed the distinguished guest in a short address and Introduced Mr. Straus, who humerously declined to make a speech but asked that what he snld should be taken a more of a con versation. In part he said: Mr. Straus Makes Speech. Such organizations as these, the Chamber of Commerce, the Manufac turers' Association, the Board of Trade and the. Commercial Club are of in finite use to both the communities where they exist and to the Government. f rincJpally now through the department HI IfWlJl.i FRONT ELEVATION PLAN OF CONCORDIA COLLEGE BUILDING TO BE ERECTED NEAR IRVINGTON. Architect H. C. Dittrlch has completed plans for the Concordia College building' to be erected for the Oregon and Wash ington district of the Missouri Synod of the German Lutheran Church, on a 5-acre tract purchased of Xr. Cornelius east of Irvincton near the Alberta streejt railway. Contracts will be let at once and work will be started u soon as possible. The ground is now being cleared preparatory to laying the foundation. The building, which Is part of a large structure to be built as more room Is required, will be 72x38, two stories with a full concrete basement and attic. It will eos about $6000. - It will be the preparatory college for the German Lutheran denomination for the district of Oregon and Washington, and will form one of the group of colleges conducted in nearly all the states of thUnion. There are similar schools at St. .. Louis. Mo.; Kort Wayne, Ind. ; Milwaukee, Neb.: St. Paul, Minn., and also in California. After careful consideration It was decided to erect a college at Portland, and make 1J the educational center for the denomination fr the Northwest where students may prepare for all the professions, Including the ministry, law, -medicine and teaching. English, German, Latin and Greek will be taught and an all-round liberal education win be afforded at this college. It will be under the charge of officers of the Oregon and Washington district, who are as follows: President. Rev. W. H. Behrens, Portland. Or.; first vice-president, Rev. L. Stube, Cornelius. . Or., second vice-president. Rev. H. Bohl; secretary, A. Splelss, hrwood, r.; treasurer, Herr Geor. Belrsdorfer, sen. The college will be started this Fall with a full faculty. of Commerce and Labor. I like to call them 'semi-official' bodies. But to get the best results you gentlemen must get together and try to act as one.' When some one loud Voice reaches to far off M'ashington and no other is heard, how are we to know that that one loud voice is not the best thought of in the community. Or if two organizations get to asking for opposing things, how are we in control of your government going to tell which one is right and which one is wrong? You must get to gether In one compact active- whole, then you and the Department can act together almost as a unite. "From the pulpit and from many of our college friends we hear often la ments that 'this is a commercial age." It is. a commercial age, and all thanks for that.-- In bygone centuries It was a religious age and the world was full of war and suffering and misery. Later, came the age of conquest that culmi nated with Napoleon; and that age waa an age of war and suffering and mis ery. Then came the' commerc ial age, In which we' have lived in comparative peace and happiness for over a century. Sings Praises of Commerce. Commerce not only follows the ' lines of least resistance Just as surely as does water, but also the lines of peace. I do not believe that saying we hear so often of late that 'trade follows the flag.' War kills commerce and peace fosters com merce Just as surely as commerce fosters peace. We trade with our friends, not with our enemies. This American nation was cradled in commercialism, reared in commercialism, and now because of thlaj unuiicnittiiaiii la vwiaL silt) ih( ine leading Nationtin the world for peace and commerce. Long may we remain a com mercial Nation in an age of commercial ism. "This spirit of commercialism -that some, I believe mistakenly condemn, is responsible for 26 nations meeting ift The Hague in 1S99, and is also responsible for, right tonight, over 50 nations meeting at The Hague to settle differences peace fully with the pen and not with the sword. And this is all due to this same spirit of commercialism. I have en vied but one rich man his gold in my life, and that only on one occasion. When Andrew Carnegie drew his check for the Palace of Peace at The Hague I envied him that check." Judge George H. Williams at the call of President Hodson responded to Mr. Straus and told an apt story about the Jews in Egypt, and paid a short but elo quent tribute to the Hebrew race. Refreshments - -were . then informally served and Mr. Straus retired for a rest after hundreds of miles of traveling and active duties within the past week. V- n MRS.

Action Taken by Chamber of Commerce in Behalf . of Portland. UNJUST CHARGES ALLEGED Complaint Demanding Readjustment of Freight Tariffs Filed AVith the State Railroad Commission. Is Important to Jobbers. Alleging that the charges exacted by the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company for transporting merchandise and other commodities over its main and branch lines from Portland Into the interior of the state are' "ex cessive, unjust and unreasonable," the Chamber of Commerce, of this city, yesterday filed with the Oregon Rail road Commission a complaint demand ing a readjustment- of that company's existing freight tariffs. The complaint further alleges that the defendant company, is "subjecting the merchants, manufacturers and shippers of the said city of Portland and other poiifts and places in the state of Oregon, as well as the producers and consumers gen erally within said state, to the pay ment of excessive, unjust, unreason able and unlawful rates for trans portation as aforesaid- and to - their great loss and damage." This is considered the most import ant controversy affecting transporta tion companies as common carriers that has yet been called to the at tention of Oregon's Railroad Commis sion. It is a matter that vitally con cerns the commercial interests of this city. Rates Are Unreasonable. As illustrative of the- unreasonable ness and injustice of the existing rates, the complaints charge that except for short distances where water compe tition tends to control the rates, the charges from Portland to points within the state on a number of classes are from 35 to 115 per cent higher per ton on a mile bsjis than are the class rates west-bound from various Jobbing centers for like distances under sub stantially similar conditions and cir cumstances over the lines of other competing systems., vi: The Northern Pacific Railway Company, the Great Northern Railway Company, the Union Pacific Railroad Company and the Chi cago, Rock Inland & Pacific Railway Company and other railway companies in' various parts of the United States. The complaint further alleges that the defendant company operates a main line from Portland to Hunting ton and branch lines from 'and -to the following points: From Biggs to Shan iko, Arlington to Condon, Heppner Junction to Heppner, Umatilla north easterly to the north boundary-' line of the state, Pendleton in a northerly direction to the north boundary line of the state and from La Grande to Elgin. Further allegations in the complaint are as follows: Text of the Complaint. That the rates and charges thus col lected from the shippers and the people of the City of Portland and the State ot Oregon are unlawful and unreasonable, and far In excess of what is required or should be collected for said services, and the same should and can be largely re duced without materially reducing the sur plus of said defendant-company or pre venting It from earning sufficient to pay a fair return on the investment in said rail way over and above all proper charges of every kind; that said defendant company has been conducting the Business of a common carrier within said State of Or egon and the States of Washington and Idaho since about the ISth day of July, ISM.

That notwithstanding the great in crease in surplus and the decreased cost of operation, the charges exacted for transportation of merchandise and com modities of all kinds under the distribu tive rates in effect from the City of Portland to points and places within the State of Oregon have been but slightly redneed and have remained substantially the sajno for a number of years past, and said defendant has long maintained and does now maintain a scale of charges calculated to Teturn an unreasonable, px: orbitant and unjust profit upon the capi tal actually Invested In said defendant's lines of railway and other properties: that all of said matters and things the plaintiff believes, and therefore avers, will fully appear If the said defendant be ordered and required to produce on the hearing of this cause, its books of ac count, papers, contracts and agreements and other documents" relating to said defendant's business for examination by this Commission. That the exact amount of the earnings of said defendant railroad within the State of Oregon on intra-state business, plaintiff Is unable to state, and Is like wise unable to state with exactness the expenses of said railroad properly chargeable to said intra-state operation thereof: but plaintiff alleges that each and all of said facts can be readily as certained by an inspection of and investi gation into the books of account, papers and documents of said defendant, nd plaintiff .further alleges that said rates so complained of can be materially re- duced and still leave, a large profit upon all Intra-state business, and would not materially decrease the annual surplus of the defendant and would not prevent the defendant , from realizing a reasonable and fair profit upon the money invested by it in its business as a common carrier.

It Is expected that Milwaukle will make a strong fight for a flvj-eent fare to and from Portland before the Rail road Commission in spite of the re fusal of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company toward granting thl fare. Yesterday io plan of future action had been framed, as It had Just become known what answer the rail road company had made to the peti tion from the people of Milwaukie. There were 25 different complaints made in the petition concerning the treatment of Milwaukle by the railroad company. It is now expected that the Railroad Commission will hold a hear ing for the people and the company at Milwaukie before any decision is ar rived at. Milwaukie being an Incorporated town there are a great many who sug gest that the power of the corporation be invoked. The company has car barns and trackage on the -streets of Milwaukie, which It is declared are subject to regulation. T. R. A.
