at each of the four plaftte and.notlfled
the management that unless they dis
charged all nonunion moldera last night
the remaining union molders at work In

. It is regarded by the union molders
a unlikely, that their demand will be

being made for- a prolonged struggle
over the adoption of the ."open shop"
policy, which was declared soma weeks
ago by a number. of the leading- foun

3. Stratum of Chicago, who has fust
completed an amalgamation of all the
Iron trades unions in this city. "Mow
ever, we shall not stand by and see the
molders worsted In their struggle."
While Mr. Stratton refused to say that
a general strike of all Iron workers In
the city would be called to support the
moldera in their fight, he did say that
the Iron Trades council of Portland was
organised for the purpose of concerted
action In resisting the "open shop" pol
icy of the local employers.
"Why . the employers should want to
nonunlonlze their shops la more than I
can -understand," said a molder this
morning;, "when If they should succeed
now, It would be perhaps a, year, and at
the most two . years, before we should
have unionised again, and they would
have to go through the same old fight."

MAIL CARRIERS FIND MEANEST-
AND NICEST PEOPLE IN WORLD
Christmas was here Just a week ago.
Naturally, one would Imagine that the
extra work of the 4etter-carr!ers was at
an end. But such is not the case.
Christmas presents are still arriving
and in addition, the return cards of the
registered packages sent out by Port
land people before the hUdayf are just
beginning to get here, jffvery one - of
them baa to be delivered. Consequently,
the mail men' are still the busy-bodios
working unusually hard. - ! iV
"Christmas cornea but one a year."
letter-carrier nald this. morning, "and
I wish It would come but once 1b five
years ar every JO. Troubles! Well.
we have them and lots of hard work
during this season of the year. People
are always looking fdr something In
the mail, not only during Christmos
week but at all times.
" -Some people seem to Imagine that
iris our fault that we do not bring them
lust what they want. It there is noth
ing for them they are in a bad humor,
and we get lumped on proper. And
wo can't talk back Uncle Sam doesn't
allow that.
"If you ever want to study human
nature In its natural state; Just come
slang With-me pome aay. Or better
sttll.-antev the service of the govern
ment, as a mail carrier. Toull see it
then and lou of it" But I ffuesa It's
all In the course of human events, so
here goes for another round of my
route.
"Don't misunderstand ; me some of
the nicest people In the world live along
the streets where I deliver mail. And
In many cases right opposite them.llve
the meanest people to-be found any
where. And I am the go-between."
