Portland Key Manipulators Decline to Leave Positions
Unless Ordered to Do So by President Sam
Small of Commercial Telegraphers' Union. . i
Local telegraph operators reaffirm the
declaration that there will be no atrlke
in Portland until the men are ordered
out by Sam Small,' president of the
Commercial Telegraph union. The local
union held a meeting last night and
adopted the following resolution:
"Resolved that the telegraphers now
employed in the city, of Portland who
ate members of the Commercial Tele
graphers' Union of America, follow the
Instructions of President Small regard
ing striking in sympathy with the Chi
cago and other offices. ... - . K

Following the adlournment at the
meeting, - the following message was
wired to President " Small at Los
Angeles: i
"Meeting tonight voted unanimously
to follow your Instructions, but demand
you , sanction action - of locals . already
out. ? We await your command. Hard to
hold radical members.".
Of -the 70 members of the local tele
graphers' union, considerable more than
half are in favor of conservative action,
and voted last nlaht that anv strike
that may be ordered must have the sanc
tion oi tne national-organisation It
Is to be officially recoanlaed and sun-

cals, however, who favored . an imme-

it looked as If there would be a com
plete tie-up today.
Ken AU TralOBlsed,
Practically every operator in Port
land Deiongs. to tne union ana a siruce
would result in closing both the West
ern Union and Postal Telegraph offices,
provided the Western Union employes
could induce the Postal operators to
Join them In the walkout, which is con
sidered altogether likely. It is not
known what action the operators in the
Associated Press office would take in
the event of a walkout, although it Is
believed that they, too, would leave
their desks in order to make the sus
pension more complete.
Western Union operators are now out
In Chicago, Minneapolis, Kansas City,
Helena, Omaha and Los Angeles. In
nearly every large city In the country
the men are said to' be holding meet
Inars. but it is thought that In a areat
majority of cases action will be de
ferred until President Small gives the
word. -
0-- Orievanoe Zs Slscrimlnation. ,
The main grievance of the ODerators
la alleged discrimination by the West
ern Union against the union men In Its
employ. If a strike comes in Portland
it will be a purely sympathetic one, as
the men vigorously object to sending or
receiving a message when ' a strike
breaker la at the other end of the wire.
It is this condition which has caused
nearly all the trouble for the Western
Union la tha large cities named.
After Sunday, August IS, railroads la
Oregon will be obliged to furnish ears
as ordered by shippers or pay to the
shipper a penalty of 12 per day for
every car which they fail to furnish.
On the other hand, the shipper on whose
order cars are furnished by the railroad
company, will be subject to payment of
a penalty of $2 per day for every car
he falls to load within 48 hours after
such oars have been furnished.
Apparent Beneficent scatter.
Effective August It the demurrage
clause of .the Oregon railway 'commis
sion law passed last March will bring
into complete operation the full force
of that apparently beneficent measure.
It was provided by the bill that the
railroad companies should have six
months In which to make oreparatlon
for complying with the demurrage rule.
As there has been a general betterment
of the car situation since the railway
commission began its work last spring,
it is assumed that the railroads are
trying to comply with . the law, and
that they are proceeding on the expec
tation of fulfilling the requirements of
the demurrage feature whenever it shall
become effective.
.There -has been little complaint from
shippers for several months on account
of the scarcity of cars. The movement
of the wheat crop will, however, begin
Just about the time the demurrage
clauee goes into effect, and it is feared
that trouble will result to the general
shippers In commercial lines, or that
the farmers will safer for lack of
