By unanimous vote the Federated Trades Council at Its meeting Friday night withdrew its delegates from the Portland branch of the National Indus trial Peace Association. In explana. tion of this action, the officers of the Council wloh it understood that or ganized lahor of Portland is not op posed to the amicable settlement, by Arbitration or otherwise, of all dis putes between employer and employes. But the labor unions were not admir ers of the organization when it was formed In this city about a year ago by P. H. Scullin. "Since . this peace association . was formed, there lias been a number of labor troubles in this city," said one of the offlcors of the Trades Council yes terday, "and this agency did not prove of any assistance in effecting a settle ment. In one instance, workmen have been laid oft without any good reason and their places have been filled by Imported laborers. It is not alone be cause this association failed to venture its services that we have withdrawn our delegates, but we have serious doubts of results ever being accom plished through a society that 1 found ed largely on sentiment and directed by a man with whose devotion to the in terests of the working men we 'have never been fully satisfied. " The delegates from the Federated Trades Council to the Peace Associa tion were: W. H. Fitzgerald, Ed Thayer, C. H. Kelly. Paulineus McDonald, Harry Gurr and William Mackenzie. Mr. McDonald was one of the represen tees from the labor organizations on the board of directors. Phllathca Churoh Society Meets. The Phllatheas of Immanuel Baptist Church held their monthly business meeting In the classroom at the church Monday evening, January 13. Several important motions were made and car ried, among which was the adoption of n information box through which the members could make inquiries and get helpful information from, each other. Also preparations were made for a banquet to be given in the near future to the young men of the Baraca class. They also chose their class colors car dinal and old gold. Since the class was organized, in the latter part of October. 1907, with four charter members, the THE SUNDAY t EL membership has been increased to 42. The young women and their teacher. Mrs. Ordeman, are very enthusiastic in obtaining new members and are greatly encouraged with' the-success they are having. A hearty welcome Is assured every young woman who wishes to become a member or a viBltor of the class, which meets every Sun day at 11:45 A. M., at Immanuel Bap tist Church, corner Second and Mead streets. ... SIGNS MUST COME DOWN Only Those Lighted All Xight May Remain. Hundreds of street signs that do not comply with the ordinances are to be torn down by City Engineer Taylor, under Instructions of the Council. They in? 2 are electric display sighs, which are re quired to be lighted all night, but it is said by Mr. Taylor, in a report to the streets committee of the Council, -that there is very general violation of the law. The matter Is practically, in his own hands, however, as he has been given authority to grant or to refuse permits for signs, as he sees fit. Mr. Taylor has reported to the com mittee that more than half of the holders of permits for electric signs violate the ordinance which requires the signs to be lighted all night, and declares himself as unfavorable to the granting of any permits for other than signs that are lighted on both sides all night. His opinion in the matter is being backed up by the committee, and It is certain that no more permits will be granted and that many now out will be revoked. The committee first began granting the permits . in the hope that the electric signs would help to light the streets, but thus far the theory has not worked out well. FEAR AMERICAN INVASION Canadians Ask Tariff Protection by Government. LONDOX. Jan. IS. (Special.) Accord ing to advices received here, the Can adian Manufacturers' Association has taken another step towards protection. The manufacturers, as is well known, are not satisfied with the revision adopted by the tariff commission, and they have now requested the Imperial government to appoint a permanent tariff commis sion with powers to adjust the customs tariff from time to time. Just as the rail way commission adjusts rates and fares on the railways. The manufacturers propose that they should be allowed to attach an expert to the tariff commis sion, but the government does not fa vor this idea. The point raised by the Canadian man ufacturers Is that the tariff Is not high enough for the needs of Dominion Indus tries. They maintain that their Insist ence on this point for the last few years has been not because of actual 'loss, so far, from foreign competition, but to ! t & tSJV: J) - - .yVa 'ft 1 twr ":iar..s V-,--:vi:.: . .

IMPROVE EAST MORRISON Fill May Prevent Laying of Hard Surface Pavement. A first-class pavement for East Mor rlsou street, between East "Water and Grand ave,nue, is being considered, and City Engineer Taylor' is soon to make a, ptJonal investigation of the distrirc to ascertain what kind of an improvement Is most advisable. Councilman Kellaher is the prime mover in the proposed work, and he firmly believes that a fine hard surface pavement should be put down, Mr. Taylor is doubtful as to the ad--isability of a hard-surface pavement for the street at this time, owing) to tha fill that was recently made there. He has some fear that the embankment is insufficiently strong to support it and that to lay a costly pavement would prove too expensive. It is agreed that the street should be improved, and Mr. Kellaher declares that all of the property-owners there are highly in favor of a first-class pavement. KISEB CALENDARS lOe CP.
