and buyers ars purchasing wheat wher
ever the earn Is offered at a fair valua
tion Tba general opinion or tne trade
Is that a very large proportion of -he
wheat raised In this territory will be
shippsd to Europe. Trads with ths
orient, either in wheat or flour, has
been a disappointment here. The finan
cial disturbances reached the orient,
and buyera had to oon tract their pur
chases to a great extent: but a great
many in tha trade anticipate a revival
from v there shortly. European wants
will certainly be larger during ths next
six months than thsy have been up to
now. Home arown wheat was mar
keted mora largsly than usual, because

and undoubtedly will remain eo till the
end of this month. There is still a con
siderable percentage of the crop in the
United States to be marketed. Supplies
In sight are liberal, but they are by no
means axoesslve, and with the return
to normal conditions ths laat half of
tha crop year will see a decline from
the first half in shipments. The short
age In last year'a wheat crop, extending
nearly over the whole world, promises
to be repeated by another shortage In
1908. .' Russia. Roumanls and Hunsary
ars threatened with short crops. India
Is almost certain to have one. Australia
has alrsady harvested a crop that is be
low the average. Russian advicea are
that the aevere cold weather prevails
in the principal winter wheat districts,
with no snow to protect the wheat crop.
Exporters here all loo' for a very ac
tive season, and figure that if ship
ments continue as heavy during the
months of January, February and March
as witnessed the past four weeks there
will be very little left arter Maren ji.
It looks as If the hulk of this crop la

DISCUSS BULK SHIPMENTS.
Farmers of Eastern Oregon Do Not
AU Favor Proposed Change.
(Special Dispatch to Tbe Journal.)
Pendleton. Or.. Jan. 17. The old dis
cussion as to whether it is more profit
able and satisfactory to ship wheat in
sacks ' or In built, has reached Umatilla
county again, and Is being engaged in
by many of the leading farmers. The
farmers seem to Invariably favor ship
ping In sacks, as the convenience Is
greater, the losses less and the storage
of wheat much more satisfactory in
sacks than in bulk.
Many of the prominent farmers of
the county bad experience with the at
tempt of the elevator companies to In
augurate bulk shipping several years
ago, and . they have not forgotten that
experience, ana while tne method has
many advantages In an elevator country
yet la pronounced to be highly imprac-
ucaois in eastern uregon.
The principal object In changlnr from
sack to bulk shipment la of course to
eliminate the expense or wheat sacks,
which has come to be extremely heavy
in tne past lew years.

(Special ft Ij patch to Tbe Joei-nri.)
Klamath Falls, Or., Jan. 17. Ths
Klamath Lake railway has agsln
changed schedule between Thrall and
Poke gem a, trains now leaving Thrall
sfter the arrival of Southern Pacific
trains No. 15 and is, and leaving poke
gema after the arrival of the stage
from Klamath Falls. This will aid
northbound passengers, and put them In
to Portland on as gooa ume as over

long layover for southbound passen
gers. Meantime the Bray route con
tinues to give good service on the old
schedule.

LABOR UNIONS. ,
Began Here la 1803, When tha New
York Shipwrights Organlsad. --
The shipwrights formed a society In'
New York city In 1303, and tha tailors
and also the carpenters did this la 1100
la the sama town. Thla, says tha Gats. ;
way, may be said to have been the be
ginning of labor, unionism la tha United -States.
:. . - ..' ., y,,;
In ths nsxt four or five decades or
ganlaatlona were established la most of
the treat Industries, sums fcf which J
lasted only a few years. Many ot these
gradually became national.
The printers were tha first era ft et ,
an AAnaantlanfa IA ai V t aan A thai nr.anl.
satlon all over the country. They estab '
lished the National Typographical Union -In
1862. So aa to take In Canada thai
established ' the international Typo -graphical
Union 4a 1862, being the lead- j
er also in this broader field. - .-. '
The formation or great corporations '
and the immense expansion in Industry ,
which began soon aftsr ths Civil war
Incited larger labor combinations than
had extated prior to that time. Some ,
of these formed tha National Labor
Union, established at a eoaventlon la ,
Baltimore in 1666, which entered poli
tics in 1872 by nominating the Labor '
Reform ticket putting Charles O'Connor '
up for president
Its votes were few, and It attracted -no
general attention in the campaign.
That broks up ths combination, and la- :
bor societies, as societies, kept out of -politics
for the next few rears. Aa so- .
cletles their most extensive partlclpa
tlon in politics waa In the congresalooal
campaign of 1906. . .
StartDg as a local secret society la
Philadelphia In 1849 and holding Ita
first general assembly la 1876, - tha
Knights of Labor was the earliest so-
clety which aimed to gather all tha
workers of all trades Into a single or
fanlsatlon. It had 600,000 members la
886, with Terrence V. Powderly as the
hesd.
Then began the decline and fall. Ita .
strike on the Gould system of railways .
in St. Louis snd ths southwest in 1888 .
It won, but the larger strike la 1881 on
the earns roads It lost
From thst time onward it gradually '
shrunk in Importance. Today It la only '
a ehadow of Ita former greatness
Tbe American Federation of Labor
rose as the Knights of Labor fslL At a ,
convention in Columbus. Ohio, in 1186
the American Federation of Labor waa '
formed and It haa gradually absorbed
nine-tenths of all ths labor organisa
tions of the United States. In It the sev- .
era! orafta retain their autonomy, but .
are federal for purposes of cooperation. ,
In 1907 the American Federation of
Labor comprised 119 national and Inter
national unions and claimed to have 8,- :
000.000 members. The affiliated unions i
Subllshed 246 weekly or monthly papers
svotsd to ths cause of labor.
The federation's beta is Bsmaet uom-
nera and ita oraran. or wnicn ne is in
editor, is tbe American r eaerauonisi.
Outside of the American Federation
are about 18 labor orsanlsations, the ,
most Important of which are the
Knights of Labor, the Stone Mason's
International Union, the Bricklayers
and Masons Union and ths various
swltchmsn, trainmen, conductors and .h
others. , . ..I- .
