ANNUAL CONVETION OF OREGON DAIRYMEN IN SESSION AT SALEM

New York. Dc K. With President
elect Taft and Mrs. Taft, expected aa
: guests of honor, and Samuel Gompera,
John Mitchell, Andrew Canfegi. Presl
dent Eliot of Harvard, Archbishop Ireland
and many other famous capitalists an J
leaders In various lines on the program
the National Civlo Federation opened its
annual meeting at the Hotel Astor. The
. general jneme or tne two days will be
the promotion of friendly relations be
tween employers ana employes, rresi
' dent-elect Taft will make his principal
. address tomorrow evening when he will
deliver his report as chairman of the
' federation's employes' welfare commit-
tee.
Mrs. William H. Taft and Mrs. Cor
nelius Stevenson of Philadelphia today
spoke before the woman's department.
Their remarks were devoted to a dis
cussion or tne worK or lessening the
loan shark evil among government and
industrial employes who receive small
salaries. .
John Mitchell In his speech at the
opening of the federation dwelt upon
the passing of Individual relationship
between the employer and workmen. He
- said in Dart:
"It is a waste of time to deplore the
. passing of the individual relationship
between employer and workman which
.existed under the old order of produc
tions. The organisation of labor and
the combination or capital Is the nat-
ural and logical . sequence of cruel,
wasteful '-" and ruinous competition.
Whether for weal or for woe, the old
system has gone forever, and the new
alignments, with all their latent possi
bilities of good and evil, are here to
stay. . '
Adjust Disputes.
"The National Civic Federation, in
keeping with the spirit of the times,
has declared: 'That at all times repre
. eentatlves of employers and workers or
ganized or unorganised, should confer
for the adjustment of differences or dis
putes before an actual strike Is reached
and thus avoid or minimise the number
of strikes or lockouts; thst mutual
agreements as to the conditions under
which, labor shall be performed should
be encouraged and that, when wage
agreements are made, the terms thereof
should be adhered to faithfully, both In
letter and spirit, by both parties.'
'From the foregoing It will be seen
that the National Civic Federation, when
organised, declared in favor of the trade
agreement as a means of maintaining
peace between workmen and employ
ers, and It is to the promotion of this
central Idea that the trade agreement
department is devoted.
- The Trade Agreement.

lative theoretical idea; it has been In

operation In some Industries many
years indeed, it is the accepted and
permanent 'method by which wages and
conditions 01 emDlovment are deter
mined in many. of the most lmoortant
industries of our country, and its prac
ticability is no longer questioned:' by
worxmen or employers who have ob
served and experienced its humanet In.
fluence and Its benefit results. '.
The trade agreement is the unmis
takable recognition of the Independence
or laDor ana capital: it la the concrete
expression of "Cooperative effort between
tnese two aominant factors in our in
dustrlal life. It will not, of course, .pre
vent ail striKes. obviate an lockouts,
but in the past It has reduced 'and In
tne ruture it will reduce to a great ex
tent tne number or industrial disputes
and minimize their intensity."
Seth Sow's Address. .
.Mr X,o w said;
'The most important activity ot the
federation during the year under re
view was an effort to obtain at the last
session of congress an amendment of
the sweeping provisions of the Sherman
anti-trust law. The bill of last spring
was based upon the belief that, at that
time, it would be impossible to change
the substantive law aa embodied in the
Sherman act This being taken for
granted, it became impossible to do
more than propose a method by which,
without changing the law, certain re
straints of trade, if not disapproved in
advance by some government authority,
might be assured freedom from prose
cution. The hearings before the con
gressional committees made it evident
that no relief from the embarrassments
caused by the Sherman anti-trust law
can be looked for along this line of procedure.
BestraJat ZUegsL
"The law as interpreted by the su
ireme court declares all restraint of
nterstate trade illegal. United States
Judge Lacombe in the tobacco trust
case, recently decided in the circuit
court of New Tork, uses the illustration
of two express men who combine forces
instead of competing with each other
as before, and says that, even such a
combination, under 'the law, would be
Illegal because competition to that ex
tent would have been lessened. To
leave a law on the statute books, you
named, as drastic as this is to invite
disaster. ., '
."Everyone who realizes what an-In
strument of oppression and destruction
this law can be. In the light of recent
judicial-decision, ought to be willing to
concede something to secure its early
modification. One thing goes without
saying, whatever modification of the law
is made to apply to combinations of
capital, must apply equally to combina
tions of labor and whatever amnesty as
to the past is given to capital must
be given equally to labor. If all the
elements -concerned approach the ques
tion in this spirit Of adjustment. It Is
possible that some amendment may be
devised which will command sufficient
backing to be , successful. Except In
such a spirit I- annrehend that nothlna-
can be done. ,
The executive committee of the
federation has placed the matter once
more in the hands of its president to
carry forward, if possible the work al
ready done, l take this .onbortunltv of
asking the cooperation of all your mem
bers In this most necessary and difficult
undertaking."
nun comnine.
President O'Connell said in part: .
"These days of individualism in the
labor world are rapidly passing away.
No man can hope by his own effort to
improve his condition In life, or to im
prove his industrial life regardless of
wnetner ne nas cooperation of .his fel
low man or not.
"What chances has the individual
workman to, reduce hours of labor, in
crease wages, improve working condi
tions, prevent reduction of wastes, de
mand fair treatment, prevent unjust
discrimination, demand sanitary work
shops, prevent child labor, compel safe-
fruards for the protection of life and
Imb? Absolutely none. What is said
of the individual workman mav also
be said of the individual manufacturer,
financier, professional man. business
man or merchant because none of these
would make any marked success or
progress without associating with and
securing the assistance and cooperation
of others engaged in the same line of
trade or business.
"Whatever success has been secured
or achieved by men In the business
world can be directly attributed to trade
or other agreements made betwen asso
ciations and organizations of men in
every walk of life.
"Unless combined capital concedes the
same rights to labor that capital Itself
enjoys a trades agreement can only be
reached with difficulty. I look forward
with pleasure to the day when employ
ers will without hesitation or fear of
result, contract bv agreement for their
labor with the same spirit . of fairness
and Justice as rules their other con
tracts. Insuring peace, prosperity and
happiness to all concerned."

Rev. Simmons Says the Pas

(United Press Leased WlrO
San Rafael, Cal., Deo. 14. The latest
demonstration that advertising pays is
afforded by Rev. J. W. Simmons of the
Methodist Episcopal church of this city,
who declared that since his Incumbency,
a period of two months, there have been
more conversions than were made In
the church during any one year.
"I believe In advertising the DulDlt."
said Mr. Simmons. "I have concluded
that the church also must be advertised.
But advertising, only brings people to
the church; then you must deliver the
goods. No matter how much good mu
sic, or how much social life you have,
you will not make a convert unless you
reach htm by means of the puplit"
Mr. Simmons has purchased apace In
the San Rafael newspapers, has taken
up billboards throughout the city and
has issued small cards from time to
time to place the attractions of tho
church before the people.

Change in the Matter of Making Min
isterial Appointments Is Advisable."
Rev. W. J. Douarlaa and Rav. J. T.

issue. Rev. Mr. Douglas arguing agatnst
his own belief for the affirmative, while
Dr. Abbott took the negative, advocat
ing "letting well enough alone."- ;
, Bishop Smith told of the great suc
cesses of the church throughout the 1
country at large and declared that It
was due to nothing else than the pres
ent system which has governed the
church for so many years. He pointed
to other denominations which, he said,
he knew, would have been much mora
successful had thev a head to their
systems such as have the Methodists.

WILL TONE UP YOUR
CURE ALL
STOMACH AND
INDIGESTION PROMPTLY
Five Minutes After Taking
Some Diapepsin All Your
Stomach Misery Vanishes
The question as to how ions- ou are
going to continue a sufferer, from Indi
gestion and stomach trouble is merely
a matter of how soon you begin taking
Diapepsin.
ir your stomach Is lacking In diges
tive power, why not help the stomach
to do Its work, not with Amatlr. rn..
but a reenforcement of digestive
agents, such as are naturally at work
in the stomach.
People with weak stomachs should
eat Diapepsin after meals, and thr
will be no more indigestion, no feeling
like a lump of lead in the stomach, no
heartburn, sour risings, gas on stomach
or belching of undigested food, head
aches, dizziness or vomiting and, be
sides, what you eat will not ferment
and poison your health with nauseous
odors. All these symptoms resulting
from a sour stomach and dyspepsia are
generally relieved five minutes after
eating one triangule of Diapepsin.
Go to. your druggist and get a 60 cent
case of Pape's Diapepsin now, and you
will always go to the table with a
hearty appetite, and what you eat will
taste good, because your stomach and
Intestines will be clean and fresh, and
you will know there are not going to be
any more bad nights and miserable
days for you. They freshen you and
make you feel like life Is worth living.
BONA FIDE BANKRUPT STOCK SALE OF
PAUL STRAIN IS BANKRUPT
Debts of Well-Known Merchant Are Placed at $128,294
From the Oregonian, Nov. S, 1908.
Paul Strain, proprietor of the Boston Store, at First and Salmon
streets, Portland; of the United Merchants' Store, at Marchfield, Or.,
and the United Merchants' Store on Market street, San Francisco,
yesterday afternoon through his attorneys, John F. Logan and John
H. Stevenson, filed in the United States circuit court a petition in
bankruptcy. The news that Strain has been forced into bankruptcy
.will surprise many people in the city, for it was generally beliejtea
that his store here was making money. Strain places his liabilities at
$128,294.79 and his assets at about $90,000.
The petition was filed early yesterday afternoon, but nothing was
known of it until late this afternoon. In addition to long list of
creditors named in the petition, there is a list of nine employes who
have salaries coming to them. While the petition does not set out
the reason for Strain's failure, it is understood that he was forced to
the wall by entering business in San Francisco. Some time ago
Strain established a store at 913, 915 and 917 Market street, and this
venture is said to have cost him between $40,000 and $50,000. The list
of creditors is a long one and includes business firms from New York
to San Francisco and also a number of Portland business houses.
Local newspapers and those of San Francisco were caught by the
failure.
