The crisis la the Gralnhandlers' strike
etmt this morning- and the whole Wa
terfront. Federation swung Us strength
behind the strikers. The Teamsters'
union sent word to all exporters except
Gay Lombard, proprietor of the Irving
dock, that they would henceforth refuse
to haul an feed, wheat or grain of any
kind from the "unfair" docks. The
Riggers' and Liners' union also sent
woad- to the same firms that they sjOJUlaVl
hereafter refuse, to work at lining,
painting, rigging, or any other kind of
labor on the ships chartered by the "un
fair" firms. Longshoremen's union No.
Set had already announced that they
would not do any stevedoring work for
the firms In question.
This does not mean that a general
waterfront strike is on and that the
1.000 or more members of the Water
front Federation will be Idle In a day
or two. It elmply means that the 20
striking gralnhandlere are to be basing
by the longshoremen, the teamster and
the riggers and liners, and that any
members ef these latter three organlxa
. tlons who are asked to assist in the
business carried on by the exporters
will refuse to so assist. It will not be
strike, exactly, but rather a labor
boycott.
Conditions la Teooma.
The local leadors of the Waterfront
. Federation are in communication today
with the Tacoma Waterfront Federa
tion with a view to bringing about ex
actly the same conditions in relation to
the exporters a those which exist here.
It Is said that other secret moves are
about to be made with the purpose of
bringing the strike to an early close,
but favorable to the strikers.
The refusal of the teamsters and the
riggers and liners to work for the. ex
porters will go Into effect tomorrow
morning.

EXPORTERS GIVE
THEIR SIDE OF
PRESENT STRIKE
Point Out That It Is Question of
Shipping Wheat to Export
Point Where It Can Be Handled
Cheapest, and Show Danger
to Portland's Trade.
Exporters and deck owners affected,
by the gralnhandlere' strike show ne
sign of yielding to the demands of the
strikers. They say It Is a question of
snipping wheat to the export point
where the grain ean be handled at the
lowest cost: that Portland Is already
nandlcapped by higher cost of shipment;
that by the proposed increase of wages
this handicap will be Increased; and that
they wljl be forced to leave Portland
and go to the sound.
At it meeting of the exporters and
dock owners this morning these matters
were discussed, and reports of the strike
situation were received. W. J. Barns, of
Balfour. Quthrle Co.. said:
"The published statement that grain
can be handled cheaper on. Portland
docks than on the sound docks Is not
rell founded. The total cost of hand

COMMISSION
FAVORED BY
POLITICIANS
Idea of Forming One
to Regulate Railroad
Affairs in State Ap
proved by Many.
While Some Legislators Are In
clined to Oppose Project Be
cause of Old Commission's
Failure, Majority Appears' to
Think Bill Is Desirable One.
Oregon railroads will be under the
watchful eye of a state railroad commis
sion after the legislature has sojourned
next February If there is any potency
In the effort of the transportation com
mittee of the chamber of commerce.
Med and abetted by the Influence of
practically all the shippers and a g
many of ths most influential farmers
of the state. The transportation
mlttee. Inspired by a desire to remedy
conditions existing In the stats at ths
present time. Is now at work, under the
direction of J. If. Teal, drafting a Dili
which wlU be submitted to the legisla
ture when It convenes.
The bill In course of preparation has
not as yet been worked out In detail,
but it will provide for the creation of a
tats railroad commission of from three
to five members, who shall be appoint
ed by the governor, or perhaps by the
state board consisting, ef the governor,
secretary of stats and stats treasurer.
Ths members of this commission, ac
cording to the Intentions of the authors
of the bill, shall be selected with espe
cial reference to their pract'eal fitness
for tie work they will have to do. They
will be men who, by their experience,
have a knowledge of the workings of
the railroad business, of transportation
questions, freight charges and other
questions related to the association of
the railroad with the farmer, the ship
per and ths public In general.
FsgalST Demand Did It.
Ths action of the transportation com
mlttee in undertaking the task of draft
lag a commission bill comes In response
to a popular demand. The complaints
mads by shippers and farmers and prac
tically all parsons who have to do busi
ness with ths O. R. A N. and ths South
ern Pacific that ths freight tariffs are
outrageously high and Ill-apportioned
have been the chief Incentive to the
work.
It Is hoped by the authors of ths bill
and their friends that a commission will
be able to force ths railroads to grant
lower distributive rates from ths Port
land terminal back Into ths Interior.
This Is especially necessary along the
lines of ths O. R. N.. where It Is said
ths freight on a number of bricks suf
ficient to build a ohimney In ths Hepp
oer country Is much mors, than the
original cost of the material. As a
consequence the majority of the resi
dents of the district use stovepipes for
chimneys. This. It Is urged, is only one
instance out of many that can be ad
duced, going to show ths necessity of
some supervision and regulation of the
railroad freight rates.
Belief Frees Oar Ssnrtsga.
Another relief sought Is from the all
pervading car shortage, and It will
probably be provided that the committee
can levy demurrage on railroad com
panies when they hold freight In tran
sit or delay freight under consignment
over a certain apeclfed time.
That the proposition of a railroad
commission will probably meet with s
good reception among ths legislators is
evidenced by a partial canvass of ths
Multnomah delegation, whore it Is
found that only two out of the list srs
opposed to a commission, end. both of
thheee favor the Idea, but are made
timid by the history of ths old 'com
mission which wss legislated out of ex
istence some years ago. ' Nong of the
members has settled on sny specific
form for the law to take. They are In
favor of the abstract proposition, how
ever, and believe that a railroad com
mission will be a good thing for the
stats, provided It Is sorapossd of honest
men who know their duty and will do
It without fear or favor. Such men. sll
unite In thinking, are In Oregon and
available to service at thta time.
Ballsy Favors Protect.

Four-Year-Old Child Falls Down

' Little One Near Him.
(Joarnal Special Service )
San Francisco, Oct. 10. A 4-year-old
baby tumbled through a hole In the
deck of the coal barge Ludlow yester
day, and although he fell a distance of
II feet, escaped with a broken leg. It
is a bad break, ths surgeons at ths har
bor hospital any, and the little fellow
may be lame permanently, but that he
waa not killed Is deemed a miracle.
Henry Christiansen Is ths baby's
name, and he lived with his father on
board the Ludlow, of which Cbrtstlsn
sen senior has charge. Baby Christian
sen's mother developed. about
a month ago and waa committed to an
asylum. Christiansen, parted from his
wife by this terrible affliction, found
comfort in the baby's company and
kept ths little chap on board the barge.

of some society, but postponing the step
until he should feel better able to stand

Baby Henry occupied hla days with

In coal dust until ths "Sandman" came,
when he colled up In a tiny bunk and

little son some surcease from the great
trouble which had come Into hla life.
Yesterday morning Henry and hla

wheelbarrow hid the bad place and
