STATES CASE
Electric Workers Tell Why
Street Railway Is "Unfair."
"OPEN SHOP" NOT ALONE
General Question off Ixw Wages,
Safety Measures and Working
Conditions Are Given as Rea
sons for Controversy.
Vhy the Portland Railway, Light &
Power Company has been Dlaced on the
-unfair" list by the Central Labor Coun
cil is explained in the following pub
lic declaration through The Oregonian
made by G. A. Von Schriltz, an official
of the local union of the International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.
The controversy between the company
and the union, he insists, is not one of
"open shop" alone, but one concerned
directly with wages, working conditions
and the safety of the employes.
His statement in full follows:
"We believe it is the policy of your paper
to give to the public the facts in any con
troversy which affects the general welfare
of the public. October 31. 1116, local union
No. 125. International Brotherhood of Elec
trical Workers went on strike against the
Portland Railway, Light & Power Company
and had this corporation placed on the uo
fnir list to organized labr through the Cen
tral Labor Council.
On or about November 1, 1916. there ap
peared in your paper the company's side of
the controversy. We are hereby requesting
you to give the same degree of publicity ,to
our side of the story.
The grievance of this union against this
corporation is the tatter's refusal to enter
into a trade agreement to correct the fol
lowing conditions prevalent on this job.
Payment lie low Standard.
First Payment by the company of less
than standard and established wages In all
departments excepting the line department.
These below-standard wages apply to meter
men, underground men. station men, shop
men, lamp men and trouble men, etc.
(Second Condltons of employment operat
ing against the reasonable safety of em
ployes handling high voltages. We would
cite the recent electrocution of an operator
in the Sellwood substation and another
badly Injured employe on the Madison
street bridge, death and injury resulting
from contact with high-voltage wires. We
desire a, working rule establiahed by trade
agreement requiring two experienced journey
men electrical workers on all hazardous,
high-voltage work. The operator in the
Sellwood station was working alone at time
of death. Who knows, had he had an
experienced fellow workman at hand, he
would not have been spared to his loved
ones?
Third Discrimination against union men
In "lay offs and in promotion. This is
denied by the company officials, but case
after cafe has been cited by this union to
these officials without relief being ac
corded. This unon charges that the corporation's
rry for the "open shop" is hypocritical and
designed to evade the real issue of wages,
.hours, payment for overtime wortcea and
real "safety first" provisions.
The platform men have what the presi
dent of the corporation considers a "union."
This union is officered by officials of the
corporation. No regularly employed plat
form man can be so employed except he
joins his company union and to make his
membership secure In this union his dues
are withheld from his pay by the company
and turned over by It to the company
orficla' who Is treasurer of the union,
further comment on this seems needless.
Three Interests Involved.
A public service corporation has to deal
with three interests: Its stockholders and
bondholders, the public and its employes.
The interests of the first are amply pro
tected by law and their elected directors
and officials. The second interest, the public,
is protected by law through the agency (in
this state) of the Public Service Commis
sion of Oregon. The law leaves the third
interest, the employes, to the tender mercies
f the corporation excepting for such law
as may be made by the efforts of the labor
unions despite the opposition of the corpora
tions and such law deals only with safety
matters and not wages, etc.
Court records will prove that this union
had to bring action against this corpora
tion to force compliance with the safety
law passed by the people for protection to
public and employes. Now comes the record
of the Public Service Commission of Oregon
and proves that this corporation contends
for a valuation for rate-setting purposes of
$tr,OOO.ono and were allowed to date by the
Commission a valuation of $4O,82:i.833.50. In
other words the corporation contends it is
entitled to rates from the public that would
give them a reasonable return on $25,000,000
that the Commission declares is not invested
In public service.
It might be of interest to the reader to
know to what extent the rapacity of East
ern capital drives the local officials of the
corporation in demanding of the public re
turns on non-existent investment. If so we
would commend an earnest study of the
"'Preliminary Findings of Fact," in the re
port of the Public Kervice Commission en
titled "In the Matter of the Electric Light
ing. Heating and Power Rates of Portland
Hallway, Light & Power Company, a cor
poration." (Investigation on Commission's
own motion) .
On page 35 of this report we learn of
the enormous value placed on water rights
by the corporation and the opinion of the
Commission on same. On page 39 we learn,
to quote the report: "The respondent has
contended vigorously for the inclusion with
utility operating property of the recreation
parks known as the Oaks Park, Canemah
Park. Estacada Park and lands leased by
the respondent for lea gue baseball games,
called Recreation Park." In other words the
company contends "vigorously" that these
parks are necessary adjuncts to give to
you proper service.
On page 6'J you will find that the re
spondents just as "vigorously" contended for
an Inclusion of $7,4S1.440.2S worth of "going
value," which was rejected by the Commis
sion. Space forbids a technical definition of
"going value," but to put it bluntly it is
plain "hunk" and was so regarded by the
Commission.
The point we want to get over Is this: If
It is necessary that the public be protected
from this corporation by a Commission, it
Is just as necessary that its employes be
protected from the same rapacity by a
union. To this end we ask the public to
support our union and its controversy with
this corporation.
Soldier Asks General if He
Will Shake Hands.
Persbln: Compiles, SitylnK He Hu
Shaken Hindu and Slept With
. Thousands of Privates In Field.
EL PASO, Tex., Feb. 24. Incidents in
the daily life of Major-General
John J. Pershing, commander of the
punitive expedition into Mexico, are be
ing told since the return of the troops.
When he marched out of Mexico, a
soldier of the command at Colambus,
N. M., approached General Pershing
while he was waiting to begin the last
review of his troops.
"General Pershing, would you shake
hands with a buck private in thai
ranks?" the enlisted man asked.
"I have not only shaken hands with
thousands, but I have slept with them
in the field," General Pershing an
swered, grasping the soldier's hand.
Motor trucks belonging to the expe
dition were placed at the disposal of
the refugee horde which accompanied
the expeditionary troops to the border,
by order of the commanding general,
in order that the little children, the
aged and the women who had become
mothers on the march might not suffer.
Once General Pershing lectured a
mule driver because he was Jerking the
patient animal's mouth with the lines.

An account of events taking place
recently in the East was furnished yes
terday by Moses Baritz, an authority
in matters artistic, political and re
ligious, formerly musical critic of the
Manchester Chronicle. England; press
agent for .the Quinlan Opera Company,
a frequent contributor to musical and
sociological journals, and lecturer in a
course of studies on the opera which
were given at Turn Hall, in Portland,
during the Autumn. '
The recent visit was nrompted
partly by the need of material for a
biographical work which Mr. Baritz is
writing on Lewis Henry Morgan, au
thor of "Ancient Society," and other
ethnological and anthropological
treatises. n urtner matters of inter
est. such as the "leak" hearing in
Washington, the opera season in New
York, and various exhibitions in art
and scientific institutions attracted the
attention of Mr. Baritz.

can life and culture are of greater
service than most other, features," said
air. Baritz.
"I was surprised, however, to ascer
tain that Americans are still so far
behind In their appreciation of Lewis
Henry Morgan, who to many English
scientists is as great in ethnology as
Darwin was in Dioiogy. If he had ivrit-
ten nothing more than his well known
Ancient Society that would have given
him a reputation to outlast nearly all
of his contemporaries, but the whole
of his ethnological researches are such
that it puts him In the position of be
ing the greatest of all writers on that
phase of science, past or present.
"No biography has yet been written
of Morgan. Because of the silence on
the part of his friends, a silence that
Is viewed with some resentment by his
supporters in Europe, his admirerr In
England have requested me to obtain
the biographical material which is still
lacking in the encyclopedia references
to his works."
Documents of Colonial Days
Are Received.
A. H. Allyn, of Grants Pass. Comes
Into Foiwniiion of Historical Deslc
and Legal Papers.
GRANTS PASS. Or., Feb. 24 (Spe
cial.) H. H. Allyn. of this city.
has recently come into possession of
several documents that date to pre
Revolutionary times.
Mr. Allyn Inherited an old desk that
was an heirloom in the family, and
found within it the' ancient papers. One
of these was a deed for property in the
colony of Connecticut, dated 1729, and
bore the names of some of Mr. Allyn's
ancestors. Another deed was dated
1746. These are in a good state of
preservation, and every word can be
read, though the ink is much faded.
One of the interesting documents
bears' the story of the enforcement of
the early blue laws of the state of Con
necticut. This is dated 1834.
The first sheet of the record is a
complaint signed by a grand juror at
Litchfield, Conn., alleging that six
men, who are named, violated the law
by working on the Sabbath -day by
"reaping, binding and carrying bun
dles of wheat." The second sheet is
an order signed by a Justice of the
Peace for the arrest of the six men,
and the thirdMs the record of the trial
and judgment of guilt against the cul
prits. LINK ROAD IS WANTED
