"If our employes hold a meeting and elect a committee to come and make a re quest for higher wages, the company-) win treat with such a committee. But thla la a different matter. The .union doea-not represent our men. ' It makes reports to persons thousands of miles away, who are In no way Interested in the company or Its employes.". Regarding the etatement of Organiser Burton that the car men of other cities on the coast receive better pay than the Portland car men. Mr. Fuller said that he had never denied that such- ia the case. The .cities about San Francisco bay, he admitted, paid their employes more. -.- -, - ; Would Vet Confirm Sunei, - When asked regarding a atreet rumor that the company had been quietly breaking in many new men In anticipa tion of a etrike, Manager Burton aald that he had' nothing to aay. Neither would he confirm or deny the rumor that these men were being held in re serve under bonds of 150 to go to work anywhere In Oregon that their services might be required. '. When asked If the rumor that the employee were not or ganised efficiently enough to conduct a successful strike, the official refused to venture an opinion. International Organiser Burton claims that 8an Francisco, Los Angeles, Oak land, San Jose, Sacramento and Stock ton pay their carmen a ' higher wage than la received in Portland.. Hla fig ures are to the effect that In the cities named the maximum - wage la reached In the- third year of service, while a motorman or conductor muat labor for H yeara before-reaching -the maximum of 17 cents an hour now on the local wage schedule.- The minimum for Portland la 11 cents an hour, while for San Francisco, Mr. Burton says, it Is li cents, for Los Angeles it cents, for Sacramento It cents, for Stockton ItVs cents, for San Jose II cents, for Oakland II cents. In Los Angeles, Oak land. . Sacramento and Ban Francisco, moreover, the maximum la respectively ,- 1TH, 17 and 17 Ji cents an hour. - Barton Bealea It. . v-r -" Mr. Burton emphatically denies that the streetcar company, has been break ing In an unusually large number of new' men. As to the union member shin, it Is alleged by Secretary McKen- ney to be about IS per cent of the entire' working force of the railway company's care.. ' " ; - .

Hl denies that he came to Portland for the purpose of aiding In the organisation of the local carmen. - The alleged generosity of the street' car company In raising its employes' wsges Is rldlouled by the men. "The raise, Just handed fa does not net the men more than IC cents a week at the outside," said one today. . "The company may have relsed wsges II per cent during the past 10 years, but bow about 'Its revenues? They have gone up 108 per cant In that time. As LIT. Fuller if he 1 would take 10 per cent more for the old Fifth street line than he paid for It some years ago.

The 17 H -cent rate In Oakland, for ex ample, la paid to only a few car men who run tralna on the Key route. In San Jose the minimum rata of IS cents la nothing more nor lesa than a flat rate end, he declares, the local carmen receive aa much or nearly aa much on an average as is cents. Then, 111 Los ABIelM in minimum Is II cents, while In Portland It Is 11 cents, but In Los -Angeles the wages do not rise aa rapidly with the term of service as they do In Portland. Here Is a city, says Manager Fuller, which requires II years of service to teach the maximum, which he puta at is cents. The result le that the sec ond, third and fourth year men get lesa In Los Angelee than In Portland. A similar condition exists . In Sacra mento, says Mr. Fuller. Manager Fuller also submitted to The Journal a scale of. the wsges paid In other northwestern cities. The fig ures showed the - minimum paid In Spokane to be 10 cents an hour. In Seattle to be II cents. In Tacdma to be 10 cents. In Victoria to be 10 cento. In all of these cities there Is e slldine scale which extends over a long period of years and while the maximum la In some cases ; higher... the . average,.! alls below the average of Portland.

LewliaL ,. i Promlnsnt Eat Oregon t ian Secures a Famous Weber Piano Alaster ' ' piece. - Musicians snd lovers of the beautiful have taken great interest in the superb 11.600 Weber Grand piano that waa ex hibited recently at Ellers piano House. The above Is a sketch of the Instrument, although the beauty of its lines and markings csnnot possibly be conveyed In a mere drawing or photo. The piano Itself is of the rvnowned Weber make, possessing the wonderful Weber tone, which bns been the delight of the dis criminating musician ever slnoe the first masterpieces of Albert Weber Sr. made their appearance. In power and volume, combined with a purity, sweet ness and sympathy, the Weber ton ex cels anything produced in Grand or Upright pianos in this country and abroad, and coupled with this Is the Sroverblal and simply marvelous Weber urablllty. There are today In dally nsaji Oregon, Weber pianos that have been used constantly for over 16 years. But, while the "beauty of Its tone is aa It ahould be, the main feature of this elegant piano; the case Itself, is worthy of extended description. .The design is of that graceful and yet massive char acter which distinguishes the Weber product in everything they do, and the case is -made of built-up layers- Mar blewood, technically known as Dyros pyros Kursli, which Is native In the British Burmaa, the Andaman Islands (a chain of ialanda to the east of Ben gal), and occasionally it ia also found in certain parts of the Philippines. It Iiroperly belongs to the ebony family, s very hard and of course quite ex pensive. The richness of the markings of deep brown and almost black on a background of a very rich- natural tan color under the new. French or dull finish. Instead of - the usual glossy American finish is simply beyond de scription. The instrument is not to be delivered until late in the fall, and it la hoped, therefore, that alterations In the new store will be far enough under way before that time so that this exquisite piano may be placed on exhibition oqoe more. where all can see It. The piano was purchased by Mr. W. M. Siusher. a wealthy sheep rancher, for his new home in Pendleton. Mrs, Siusher is a very accomplished musician and no doubt this Weber piano will prove an Important factor In the social and' mus ical life of the One and prosperous little inland city.'
