BILLS ADVOCATED
BY UNION LADOR
At Least Three Measures to
Be Offered in Legislature
Next Month.
WORK CONVICTS ON ROADS
Proposed Act Contemplates Ending
PrlTate Employment by Contract.
Employers' Liability Law and
Eight-Hour Day Urged.
At least three measures of legisla
tion will be proposed at the coming
session of the Legislature by organized
labor. They are an employers' lia
bility law, a measure providing a gen
eral eight-hour workday and a law
that will put an end to the employ
ment of convicts in competition with
union labor. The bill for the employ
ers liability law has been prepared and
the two other bills are being drafted.
The different measures will be consid
ered at a meeting of the executive
board of the State Federation of La
bor, which will be held some time this
week. These three measures have been
Indorsed and will be supported by the
Stete Grange. The trades unionists
and the Grange have appointed legis
lative committees which will have,
charge of the proposed bills In the
Legislature.
The text of the employers" liability
Mil has been published. In a general
way it proposes that owners of prop
erty and buildings shall be held di
rectly responsible In suits brought for
the injury or death of an employe.
An effort will be made to extend
the provisions of the eight-hour law
to apply to all classes of workmen.
Such a regulation of hours of labor is
now entorced as against state and
county employes.
The organized labor forces, however,
will direct their hardest fight against
the working of convicts In competition
with union men. They will ask that
the contract be terminated between the
state and the Loewenberg & Going
Company. Under this arrangement the
contracting company operates a stove
foundry at the state penitentiary In
f-alem, the state furnishing convicts at
about 35 cents a day. The product of
the foundry is sold in tne market In
competition with stoves manufactured
by union labor. In lieu of this manner
of employing convicts, the labor people
will propose iti their bill that the pris
oners be employed in the construction
of roads throughout the state.
Says Contract Is Vnfair.
"The contract that exists between the
state and the Loewenberg & Going
Company is most unfair, not only to
labor unions, but to the state Itself."
said C. H. Gram, president of the State
Federation of Labor, yesterday. "The
truth of it is that the state Installed
Its stove foundry, equipped it with ma
chinery, clothes and feeds the convict
laborers and even pays for the guards
that are necessary". After doing all
this, the state contracts the labor of
the convicts to the stove company for
about 35 cents a day, or scarcely
enough to feed them.
"The result Is that the Loewenberg
A Going Company manufactures and
places In the market, under those con
ditions, stoves that enter into compe
tition with stoves manufactured by
union labor, which costs probably $3.50
a day. Tnis company has had a con
tract for operating the stove plant at
the -Oregon penitentiary with convict
labor for several years, and it is an
outrage not only to other manufactur
ers but to union men that the agree
ment between the state and that com
pany rhould longer be continued."
While the bill has not been com
pleted, the committee probably will In
clude a provision for employing these
convicts building roads in different
parts of the state. A small appropria
tion may be suggested In the bill that
an experiment may be conducted to
show the. feasibility of building roads
on the basis proposed by the labor peo
ple. Their plan Is to erect stockades
in such localities as roads are to be
constructed. It is argued that the
prisoners could successfully b detained
In the stockades at night and directed
In their work bv day with a reasonable
number of guards.
Aid for Discharged Convicts.
At the same time the labor people
may decide to propose still another
change In the practice of dealing with
convicts when they are discharged from
the penitentiary after serving their
sentences. Upon completing his term
under the present system, a convict is
provided with a suit of clothes and $5
in cash. This Is not a sufficient stake,
argue th traiies unionists, to be of
any substantial assistance to the ex
prlsoner who really desires to reform.
They may decide to Include In their bill
a provision giving prisoners the privi
lege of continuing in the employ of
the state In roadbulldlng work for
from 30 to 60 days following the com
pletion of their sentences, at a per
diem of 11.60. This would give them
sufficient iunds to get started right
and avoid bad associations, if they
were so disposed, is the argument of
the representatives of labor organizations.
A WORD ABOUT VOLTAIRE
His Influence Criticised From the
ICeligious Point of View.
PORTLAND. Dee. 16. (To the Editor.)
Poor "old Voltaire, been in hell a hun
dred years." And yet. it must be ad
mitted that Voltaire had a keen sense of
personal rectitude. vivacity of tempera
ment, intellectual shrewdness, with quick
susceptibility of beauty.
The rock on which Voltaire wrecked
all was religion. This he thought was a
superfluity and a nuisance, to be. got rid
of root and branch, the sooner the better.
He looked round on "the pestilent
Jungle of superstition," as he termed It,
and resolved to clear the earth of it for
ever. With bold and skillful hand he set
his torch to that jungle, which for a time
blazed all over Europe, o the exhilara
tion of the man who set it.
In due time this flame, whose heat so
greatly comforted the heart of this man,
filled to bursting with pride, and cot a
few other bad admixtures was gone. The
Jungle had to some extent been consumed
but with It had disappeared vast fields
of verdure which soon were turned into
pestilent-breeding ewamps of greater evil
than the Jungle. Much greater. It ex
tended Itself everywhere over Europe,
but especially over Germany and France.
Hera faith and hope were withered and
with them .whatever belonged to the
finer nature of men.
dto conflagration started by Voltaire
was Indeed dreadful. TVhere beautiful
trees hitherto bloomed and brought forth
their goodly fruits were found only bar
renness and desolation. Nor is this mere
"preacher talk." Goethe, with alarm, dis
covered himself in the midst of this deso
lation, rising out of it after years of
struggle, In mature life. Carlyle, who
made Voltaire and his work a life-long
study, declares it. Neither of these men
was partial to the clergy, who, as a class,
assailed Voltaire. When the conflagra
tion lighted by the most adroit character
the race lias produced, had burned its
wav, the life of man was circumscribed
to a few mourning earthly years of daily
drudgery: his live senses were the only
source of things to be desired.
Unhappllv, such feelings are by no
means Infrequent with ourselves in this
day. It is a matter of observation that
the influence of Voltaire cast upon the
two nations specified, still presses with
incubus force, as It does more or less
over the whole of Europe. He worked
with the highest personages of his time,
in circles of authority and reputation
from whence his Influence easily perco
lated down through the humbler walks
of life. , T

FRANCE SEES NO DANGER
Recent Disturbances Not Ixroked

PARIS. Dec. 26. The entire press of
Paris, with the exception of such re
actionary newspapers as I. Libre
Parole and IAction Francalse, con
sider the attack mae yesterday In the
streets of Paris on President Fallleres
by an unemployed waiter named Mat
tis, a fantastic act without political
importance.
"If the cause of the Bourbons and
the Bonapartists were not as dead as
a doornail, such pitiful exhibitions of
Impotent fury would completely dis
credit them," voices the general opin
ion. Nevertheless, some of the Republican
organs express the opinion that the
Government should do something to
put an end to the campaign being con
ducted persistently by a small group
of militant royalists, aided by clerical
organizations, with the object of keep
ing public opinion Inflated.
The recent disorders at the Academy
of Medicine, while originating from
genuine dissatisfaction with the new
system of examination, are attributed
largely to these same royalists and cleri
cal agitations, which some time ago
brought about the retirement of Pro
fessor Thalamas, whose offense con
sisted In writing a history of Joan d'Arc
to prove that the stories of her divine
inspirations were mere legends devoid
of any historic foundation.

TRIM CLAWS OF

Amendment of the Sherman anti-trust

to monopolistic combinations is essential
to the further industrial growth and pros
perity of the country according to Dr.
Jacob Gould Schurman, President of
Cornell University, who Is spending two
days in Portland. Dr. Schurman reached

the noted educator goes direct to Ithaca,
N. Y., to attend the annual convention
of the National Association of American
Universities, of which he is an ex-president.
Following an automobile tour of the
city yesterday, the guest of H. L. Powers
and Wells Gilbert, of the Cornell Alumni
Association, the distinguished educator
was entertained at lunciieon at the Com
mercial Club. The luncheon was at
tended by the following prominent busi
ness and professional men of this city:
C. TV. Hodson, president of the Com
mercial Club: C. F. Swigert, president of
the Chamber of Commerce: H. L.
Powers, "Wells Gilbert, E. L. Thompson.
Dr. J. AYhltcomb Brougher, William M.
Ladd, Herman Wittenberg and Frank
Rigler, Superintendent of public schools.
It was at the conclusion of the luncheon
that Dr. Schurman delivered a Bhort ad
dress in which he urged the necessity for
amending the anti-trust law.
"There has taken place a change for
the better in the methods of conducting
business during the Inst few years," said
Dr. Schurman. "This was perhaps not
as much needed here in the West as it
was in the East. But there has been a
marked change In the business and politi
cal morality of the country a condition
that has been contributed to largely by
two or three men prominent In National
life. Charles E. Hughes, who has been
re-elected Governor of New York, inaugu
rated a new period of business morality
when he . conducted .his searching In
vestigation of the Insurance companies.
Roosevelt followed this up with larger
and more Important duties Just as fear
lessly discharged.
Solons Bad Business Men,
"But the period of. agitation for this
reform is pretty well over. We may
now reasonably expect an expansion of
business on safe and prudent lines
without serious Interference from the
Legislature or from politicians. Poli
ticians are the worst men In the world
to carry on any business. Business
prospers In proportion as it is let
alone by Legislatures and politicians,
but the Interference of the last few
years has been necessary to a higher
standard of morality in business and
fair play. There Is In sight a greater
expansion of business than the coun
try has ever witnessed. Taft, as the
successor of Roosevelt, is a man well
trained In the law, having great so
briety of judgment. For these rea
sons he Is regarded a safe man to
whom the business Interests of the
country may be confided.
Should Avoid Oppression.
"But there is a reform needed, and
which I consider is indispensable to the
business Interests of the country. It
Is not tariff revision, either, although
I firmly believe in tariff reform down
ward. This needed reform, to my mind.
Is an amendment to the Sherman anti
trust law to the end that Its provi
sions shall apply only to monopolistic
combinations that prove oppressive to
the people. The trouble has been that
the business capacity of Americans lias
Increased more rapidly than their moral
sense 'has developed. But the time has
arrived when a higher standard of mo
rality Is being applied in the business
world.
"In Its present form the Sherman
anti-trust law is directly opposed to
combinations In the business or indus
trial world. The law does not except
from Its operation those combinations
that prove of benefit to the people
without proving oppressive. Combina
tion is the economic law of today. The
public does not care whether it buys
from such a combination or not so
long as the conditions under which
that combination exists are not op
pressive and rivals have an equal
chance. This law should be so
amended as to restrict its applica
tion to those combinations that exercise
monopolistic oppression."
In concluding his remarks Dr. Schur
man spoke in a complimentary vein of
Portland and the advantageous posi
tion this city occupies with respect to
the Pacific Northwest.
"Portland certainly occupies a highly
advantageous position," said he. "Its
position between the mountains and the
ocean at the confluence of two great
rivers, is truly a strategic one. Ore
gon is one of the great, prosperous and
growing states of the Union, and it Is
impossible to forecast the possible de
velopment of this section that another

SECRET OF CANCER CURE
Professor Laurens Answers Critics
of His Use of Forniol.
BRUSSELS. Dec 26. (Special.) With
reference to Professor Laurens' method
of curing . cancer, several articles have
appeared In the European press casting
doubt upon the efflcacj' of the new sys
tem. ,
In reply, to these, the Professor says:
"For several years I have used formol
for the treatments of cancer. Previously
I had used, with conflicting results, such
products as arsenlous acid, atoxyi. sul
phuric acid, tryptlne and electricity.
Jointly with Dr.- Fen wick. I also gave my
patients Injections of chromic acid, the
latter for external cancers; but in spite
of these various methods I always re
verted to formol. and have at last found
the right method of using it. I dare say
that before my recent public communica
tions upon this matter, the secret of my
method, that it to say, the use of large
doses of concentrated formol. was un
known to my nearest friends."
