OPPOSES SCULLIN SCHEME
Trades Council Withdraws From
Industrial Peace Association.
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its services that we have withdrawn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.

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

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

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.
