I On July T.aftef a peUtioh-'4of the
. " carmen had been pending for more than
;. two month, they were granted a ralae
'.'- of wage averaging one half a cent per
hour. ' At that time toe company
atated In Ita slrcular letter to Ita m-
ployes that It could not poealbly arrow
to grant a further Increase. Twelve
days -later on one. system, however, and
II day later on tn otnera, tne cum
canv Boated notices of ralae which
l will probably average not leaa than one
cent per hour, or twice aa mucn as
- gran red only two weeka before. The
. ' carmen point to this fact and declare
' that no employe, union or nonunion, will
attempt to deny that the union secured
.-. tha Increase by Ita display or. sirengiu.
Sf eat Zs . -
. But from the moment the union meet
: tng broke up early last Friday morning
very one realised that tha defeat was
' greater than the victory. Union men
, took off their red buttona or bid -them
--'"under their coats." Soma quit work be--''
cause they were disgusted' with the
backdown of their fellows or felt sure
of being discharged If they did not quit.
Others, according to reports circulated
by oarmen, were quleUy discharged for
; no other reason than that they had been
actively In favor of a. strike and had
refused to sign fidelity agreements pre
' aen ted by officials of the company.
. Previous to the passing of. the war
cloud General Manager Fuller of the
Portland Railway, Light power com
- pany declared that no employe had been
i dtacharged for being active In union af-j
fairs. . Immediately afterward - "when
.' questioned he refused to say as to
. ' ' whether or not the union men would bo
' discriminated against by the company.
The general lmpreaalon of , the carmen
la that Manager Fuller Is on a still hunt
for - unionists and will discharge them
r quietly, one at a time.
; Ualoa MM rrlghteue. . . .
Bo widespread Is this sentiment that
not a single working carman eould be
. found though a week ago he wore hla
" red button conspicuously and talked
' . strike volubly who today will admit
that ha Is la favor xt the- perpetuation
' of hla union. For thla reason a early
dissolution Is predicted. Even President
Nels Sorenson. who Is a motormaa on a
Washington street line, refused to say
today that be would do anything to keep
the union Intact '
, : Tomorrow night tha union will meet
to decide whether or not to turn In Its
'charter to the International Tonight
. the executive board will meet to decide
what action It shall reoommend to the
union. If the union la not dissolved,
tt Is admitted by Us officers that It will
cut but little figure for at least the
- next several month. Whether or not
, ' It is dissolved t Is expected that another
union will be organised with the con
sent and under the advice of the com
. ' pany. Thla, It Is hoped by the company,
' will head off the building up of a strong
, organisation affiliated with- a central
body or an International.
. . t slew Wage Sjcaedmlo.
The new wage schedule will go Into
ffeot on AusTust 1. It will be the
aame on all linea aa previously pub
lished for the a W. P. lines. The mini
mum will be SI cents en hour. - This
mount the employes will receive during
" th first year of service. Dunns- th
- second year they will get ii cents an
hour, during the third SI cents, the
fourth Jf cents and after that 17 cents
' aa hour. - Thus It will be seen that un
der the new system sn employe receives
21 cents an hour, to begin with and
reaches the ' maximum in four years.
Under the schedule which went' Into
affect on July T the .minimum waa SI
. cents aa hour and the maximum 17

' ' Makes Move Against the

CIGAR MACHINES ARE

' Mayor Valentin of St Johns has or
dered all money-paying -slot machines
In that city put out of commission.
The mayor mad the rounds of the
business houses Saturday morning and
notified the proprietors that' after Bat.
urday night no more- machines of that
character would be allowed to operate.
It Is not my Intention at this time,"
said the mayor, "to prohibit the running
of the card machines that pay in trade.
I do not think they are very harmful.
They are mainly confined to the cigar
stores, and If smokers want to get their
cigars by playing these machines, 1
can't see that It does much damage.
But with ' th money-paying - machines
the thing Is different; that Is gambling,
wir and simple.. ' ' ' '
"Sine ordering thee machines closed,
I have been approached by a number
of our cltlsens and thanked Xor do
ing so. ..'".''
"I Undrstand," eontlnued th mayor.
"that th owners of theee machines are
willing to pay a monthly fine, or licenae
of I each for th privilege or running
them. As -there are about on dosen of
them running In St. Johns, the total
would amount to quite a neat revenue,
and the city needs th money. ' But
there are other things that It needs
more than money; one of them ts a heal
thy moral nei Prohibiting -all forma
of gambling will go a long way toward
creating and sustaining this tone.
"With reference to the publication of
th strry that warrants war Issued for
th arrest of business men operating
lot machines, I wish to state." said th
mayor, "that no warrants were Issued,
ro arrests wr made, nor, ao fnr aa I
am aware, none war contemplated. I
had allowed these machines to be oper
atci, without molestation, for several
months, -end I certainly would not have
begun a crusade agatnat them by prose.
,fulion,.l would havflrat ordered
them closed'aa did do. If there was
failure to comply with the order, then
would have been the time for warrants."
The mayor says that n oonridentijr
expect his commission as postmaster
to arrive today or tomorrow; that he
has made all arrangements to take pos
session of the office as soon as th
commission arrives. . .-, : .

Among which were th following: '
"In th United States th general
councils of the Congregational church,

church have agreed to federate, and a

Presbyterians and Congregatlonallats
have united In th publication of a re

'.The Congregatlonallats, Methodists,
Presbyterlana and United Brethren of
Canada, will likely unit at an- early
date; at least such 4 union Is now be
ing considered. Not many years ago
the great Preabyterian church and
th Free Church of Scotland became
on powerful organisation. .
"Th 11 Presbyterian churches of
India, havs organised a movement which
aima at federation. Th seven Presby

MEN CAN'T AFFORD TO
; PAY RAILROAD FARE
One Firm Could Use Five Thousand
Men at One All Employment
! Agencies Have Orders for Big
Gangs at High Wages.
E. P. McCroskey, manager, of th
Canadian , Employment bureau of Port'
land, went east to secure 8,00) men to
work on Oregon., railroad construction,
in logging camps and reclamation proj
ects. ' After spending weeks in clos
touch with th labor markets of ; Chi
cago, Kansas City, Omaha, Milwaukee,
Detroit and other middle west cities, he
returned to Portland with but TO men.
He saya th reason for. his failure 'was
th refusal of the O. R. at N. and Union
Pacific systems to grant a far less
than SlO.Zt .from Chicago to PorUand.
Mr. MeCroakey says he found there
were thousands of men In th cities of
th middle west who want work and
who would come, to th Paolfle coast If
they could get her. He said: V
'1 want east in company with Mr.
Eflckson, of th firm of Erlckson at
Peterson, who ar building th railroad
from Riparia to Lewlston. On reachlns
cnicago 1 got into communication with
th labor egenclea of all th principal
cities in that- country. Th Northern
Paclflo railroad . offered to- carry men
from Chicago to St Paul for 14. and
bring them from that city to Oregon
free ir they would go to work oa North-
era Paclflo construction work. . To th-
St would hav bean added a fee of 12
to tn employment agency. :

"Th head Of 'th operating depart
ment of th Harrlman ' linee. Julius
Kruttschnltt was oonsatted. and he
refused to grant a rat of less than
110.26 from Chicago to Dragon. , Th
men who ar willing to com hav not

for th employment agencyi and enough'

"I got about 70 man to come, and
eould hav got a great many more If I
had been willing to. bring them over
th Hill line and turn them loose in
Oregon to work tor th Harrlman roads
If they wished to." .
Mr. MeCroakey showed books full of
orders for men to work in all Unes of
common and skilled labor. Th firm
of Erlckson eV Peterson could us 1,000
men at one. - Th north bank Una eould
give employment to nearly that many

men to work on th Klamath Irrigation

than 11.60 per day, and In many eases
i.sa per. day Is offered. It Is a condi

in th history of tha country. Every

a similar position, and whUs some of
