PIONIO BIG SUCCESS
Employes of Street Railway Go
to Estacada Park.
B. S. J03SELYN IS LAUDED
Resolution Is Adopted Protesting
Against Attacks Made on Head
of Company Races of Live
ly Kind Are Held.
Eighteen cars filled with employes
of the Portland Railway, Light and
Power Company formed what the resi
dents of Kstacada pronounced the big
gest and Jolllest "bunch" ever at Esta
cada Park. Two special trains left
Portland yesterday morning, and the
picnickers stayed at the park in Clack
amas County all day.
The fir3t train was composed of the
excursion cars of the Mount Hood rail
way flat cars with seats on them
while the second was a string of open
cars.
All along the route the merry-makers
were greeted with whistles and cheers.
The load proved too much for the
second train and the freight locomotive
which was furnishing the motive power
balked 10 miles past Gresham. This
caused a delay, during which time the
passengers made a meal of blackber
ries. After another .motor came to the res
cue, the passengers joined the others
who had gone ahead.
Chanres Are Denied.
The afternoon was opened with a
gathering of the picnickers under the
trees of the park, where a number of
the officials made speeches. E. A.
West, assistant chief engineer, told of
some of the attacks made upon the
policy of the company, especially re
garding the new fenders.
"Charges have been made that the
company is buying or experimenting
with a cheaper style of fender than
that which the City Council recently
prescribed, because of the expense.
This Is untrue," said Mr. West. .
"No railway company can afford to
have anything but the best kind of a
fender, for others increase the dam- I
aaes. I
"Another ciiarge nas Deen maae
that we are letting out all the older
experienced men and replacing them
with new men at a lower scale ot
wages. This Is another falsehood. In

TEACHERS F0RM LEAGUE
Delegates From 2 6 States Join in
Organization to liaise Standards.
Formation of a National League of
Teachers' Associations was an outcome
of the recent meeting of the National
Educational Association in Chicago,
July 6-9. Delegates from 26 states aid
ed in bringing into existence the new
organization, which was considered by
many educators present to be the most
important - work accomplished at the
convention.
Improvement in professional stand
ards, securing'-of a living wage for
teachers, adoption of some standards
for tenure of office, and obtaining re
tirement funds -rt-ill be the main aims
of the organization. It is claimed by
members that when these conditions
have been secured, teachers will be free
to give all their time and enrgy to
thir work.
Miss Grace De Graff, of the Lndd
School, spoke at the meeting: on condi
tions in the West. She was elected to

MASS MEETING IS CALLED

"Sentiment amoim Itoosevelt sup
porters in Oregon. almost unanimously
favors nominating a Presidential elec
toral ticket and piecing u complete
state ticket in the Held for the No
vember election.
"Adherents of the third pcrty move,
ment in this state, however, cannot
proceed officially until after the pro
posed 'Bull Moose,' or National Pro
gressive party has been born in Chi
cago on August 6."
This Information was divulged yes
terday by a prominent member of the
National Progressive Club of Oregon
following a meeting of the executive
committee of the organization when
final arrangements were completed for
the muss meeting of progressives, re
gardless 6f former party affiliations,
which will be held in Portland next
Thursday. The Informant withheld the
use of his name, explaining that he
was not authorized to speak officially.
Fire Will Be Selected.
The plan is for the - mass meeting
next Thursday to select five delegates
to the Chicago convention and then
yljourn until a time subsequent to the
Chicago gathering. At a later meet
ing the organization of the new party,,
as it may be decided upon at Chicago,
will be formed and candidates for
Presidential electors and for state
offices nominated and placed on the
official ballot by petition.
, It is understood that the more active
proponents of a third party here will
discourage the nomination of county
tickets or otherwise Interfering in
county affairs, believing that to do so
wotiid serve only to engender unneces
sary strife and weaken the state and
National tickets.
The executive committee of the Na
tional Progressive Club, of Oregon,
which Issued the call for Thursday's
mass meeting, effected organization
yesterday by electing George W. Jo
seph. State Senator, chairman. The
other members of the committee, all of
whom attended the meeting during the
noon hour at the Hotel Clifford grill,
are: Frederick W. Mulkey. Who has
announced his candidacy for United
States Senator as a progressive; V.
Vincent Jones, Sanfield McDonald and
J. T. Wilson.
Meeting; la Thursday.
It was decided by the committee te
have the mass meeting convene at 10
o'clock Thursday morning at the East
Side Branch Library. If the attendance
is large, the convention will adjourn to
the Woodmen of the World Hall, East
Sixth and Alder streets, this building
having a capacity of 1600.
Although the details of the work of
the convention will be left to the de
cision of the delegates, it is proposed
that the gathering devote the day ses
sions to effecting temporary organiza
tion, appointment of committees and
a discussion of the course" to pursue
in the organization of the prospective
third party in this state.
In addition to this tentative pro
gramme, the important work to b
transacted and the purpose for which
the mass meeting has been called, ia
the election of five delegates and their
alternates to the Chicago convention. .
This task may require considerable
time from the fact that the delegates
selected will be required to pay their
own expenses, the Oreon law making
no provision for defraying the nec
essary expenses of delegates chosen
at a mass meeting subsequent to the
primary nominating election.
Men to Pmy Own Expenses.
The convention will seek to name not
on!v men who will attend the Chi
cago assembly and pay their own bills.
but see to it that the men chosen will
insure for the state a proper repre-
entatlon in the National convention.
It will also be suggested to the mass
meeting that it make a preliminary
nomination or recommend five candi
dates for Presidential electors of the
proposed new party organization, the
candidates so nominated or recom
mended to be formally and officially
ratified at the adjourned meeting when
the party in Oregon will be formed.
When these' details have Deen dis
posed of, it is proposed to have the con
vention adjourn until probably 6 o'clock.
when the work of the mass meet
ing and any nominations that have been
ade will be ratified. it is also
planned at the night meeting to touch
off fireworks with plenty of oratory
supplied by the more prominent Roose
velt delegates from Portland and
throughout the state.
Laboring People Invited.
Another object In proposing the nlghl
meeting is to enable many laboring
men, who will not be able to attend
the day sessions, to be present and
assist in ratifying the work of the mass
meeting. A special invitation has been
extended the laboring people to partici
pate in the mass meeting and the ulti
mate formation of tne new pany in
Oregon.
The suggestion of the executive com
mittee that the mass meeting tenta- .
tively agree upon candidates for Presi
dential electors Thursday is to enable
them to begin the circulation ot their
nominating petitions for signatures.
The committee feels that this procedure
would be entirely regular, since all
that would remain to be done would
be for the party, when it Is organized
in this state at an adjourned meeting,
to ratify ofllclally the selections made
by the mass meeting.
At the meeting of the executive com
mittee yesterday. Secretary Lepper re
ported that invitations to attend the
mass 'meeting had been sent to pro
gressives throughout the state. From
the responses, he predicted a larfte at
tendance. Dan Kellaher, State Senator
and president of the National Progres
sive Club, will call the mass meeting
to order, but the selection of temporary
and permanent officers of the conven
tion will be left to the delegates.
