A Strike of the machinists was nar- .rowly averted at the Southern Puclfic shops yesterday. The men were recelv lug 32 cents an hour, and some time ago made a demand that the rate of wages be raised to 35 cents an hour. At first the company refused to rant the concession, and every preparation was made to strike. The men came very near going. oui on lust Saturday. At that time Master Mechanic Younger was in me eoumern part or the state, and they wired him that the increase must be granted at once. He replied that he sould be home in the evening, and make kg effort to have the matter settled. Uuon his return he made a proposition lo the grievance committee of the union consisting of Messrs. Clark. McGraw Qlapcey, Concoff a. id Harpster. to the effect that he was willing to grant the Increase asked to all but 12 of the men. He stated that these men were being "bald all they were worth, but If they wished to do so they could continue at Vork at S2H cents an hour. Mr. .-founger did not reveal the Identity of the dozen men he referred to. and it was unanimously agreed by all the mem bers Of the union to take a vote upon the question as to whether or mt they would accept the proposition by the mas ter mechanic. This was accordingly done, and a unanimous verdict was reached that the 12 men wduld have to JgU? Yesterday morning they quit of their own accord. . ' - .Tba rrsssmen. .

"Republicans are somewhat embarrassed by the wide spread comment on the demeanor of Blnger Hermann on the floor of the re cent congressional convention. Many Republicans were amazed at the-weakness displayed by the erstwhile Con gressman and Commissioner. That Mr. Hermann deseited his own ship, aban doned all hope, left his faithful follow ers to battle as best they might against the apparent odds, Is not calculated to ttract the young voter to his standard. "Certainly, old and young alike ad mire the man who will fight. And the pectacle of a candidate who was the ending man In the race, turning and caving the scene of the conflict at the critical moment Is by no means or the qrt to inspire the enthusiasm or the jung Republicans of the Urst district This Man Voices the Majority. This declaration by one of the Re publican delegates in the Eugene con vention was made just after the nomlna- lon was effected. It has been repeated In substance by numerous others. The Republican delegate proceeded to set forth his views: "During the progress or the fight I watched Hermann's race. The succes sive ballots after the eleventh showed gradtinl losses, until he hud been re duced to 38, when It was apparent the day was lost, and It Was lost, excepting that the unwillingness or the Iane County delegation to go to Brownell stopped the latter's nomination at the time the Hermann people caucused and decided to throw their strength to the Clackamas statesman. looked Dlsoonraged. ''He looked discouraged. There was In his face not a suggestion of deter mination to remain and take advantage of any possible, opportunity that might arise to rehabilitate his shattered forces. "As a matter of fact. R. A. Booth and Dr. Kuykendall. senators rrom Lane County, were the Hermann managers up to the time that J. T. Bridges or the Roseburg land office took command, and nrter holding the 40 faithful, finally snatched victory from defeat. When Hermann Came Back. "Hermann was over here at the Smeede Hotel. In ills room, and was be wailing his downthrow. Over there In the convention hnll a rew brave adher ents were standing by the guns that Hermann hlmseir had deserted And. finally, when the tide had been tjirned In his favor by the peculiar acoJdent that nominated him, he went back and Ktood by to see his name carried to a nomination, a nomination won by no er fort of his own, but won In spite of his flight from the battle of ballots.
