Meeting, Declares Demand
for Increase .From $2.75 to

' Four hundred Portland teamsters this
morning announced their Intention to
strike for higher wages June. 1. - The
union which Includes 'these men as
members' numbers 95 per cefnt of the
team drivers 'employed In the city.
The Team ' Owners' association held
a meeting last night which was attend

creased from $2,76? to $3 a dqy was
made' by the v committee and unani
mously voted ,down by the employers.

, 8. Ty.-Herman, 'manager of th Holman
Transfef 'company, said today: ;
"The employers will not pay the -r

This much was decided last night.? We

. more here for the services of teamsters
than any other city In the country ex
: cepl San Francisco, We are paying as
much as we can afford, he committee
from ' the union heard our proposition
last night and certainly should realize
that the employers will stand firm. We
think ' we can tide over any trouble
that may come." v -'

secure Roosevelt's Indorsement of . the
Insurgent attack on Speaker Cannon and
the house rules to be made during the
special session of congress to revise the
tariff. Roosevelt as moving out and
the executive offices were In confusion.
The former president led the committee
into the old cabinet room, where Nel
son, as Chairman of the executive com
mittee, outlined the plan of attack that

to Indorse the plans officially. ??' ;t ,i;

' Roosevelt raised, hiSiself In his ciiajr,
drew onelejf up beneath him, a favor
ite deliberative attitude, clasped his
hands behind his head and said:
"Now, boys, let me think out loud."
, For 80 minutes he proceeded to out
line his position In the impending leg
islative struggle.1 He' pointed but to

In. ilie beginning tliat ha persona lly
favorod the insurgent cause and was in
sympathy - with their aims: lie said,
however, that he was now preparing to
pet out of the limelight, that another
man was to take. the reins and that a
new president might not like to have
them, taken from his hands., . ,
Would BTot Embarrass Taft,
Roosevelt Said it seemed he would he
encroaching upon the rperogatives of his
successor if he publicly indorsed the In
surgents. He said he had been dealing
with theee things in his own way and
his successor would want to do the
same without any Interference.
Throughout the interview the only ob
jection Roosevelt made to a public dec
laration of sympathy with the insur
gents? was the fact that his successor
might be embarrassed.
, For an hour and a . half '' Roosevelt
talked over questions connected with
the insurgent movement; The commit
teemen outlined various projects. Re
peatedly Roosevelt evinced a desire to
aid the cause, seeking only a way that
would not leave him open to a charge
of having interfered with' Taft.
Finally he offered to write a latter to
Representative Nelson, indorsing the in
surgent program. ' ,; ' ?
Betrayed by G. O. P. Machine. ,
He told remlnlscently of having writ
ten a similar letter for the use of the
organization" Republicans,, early in his
administration. In return, he said, they
had promised to put through his legis
lative, program,
"And, see what they have done ror
me," he interjected, leaning rorwaro ano.
grasping the arms of his chair. ,
Under the circumstances, he said, he
would not write a letter for- publica
tion, but it could bemused freely and
without reserve among the members of
the house. It might be shown to any
one, he said, even to uncle Joe himself.
The letter, as he outlined it, was to be
a complete Indorsement of the insurgent
program for amending the rules and r
duclng the power of the speaker.
When the insurgents left it was un
derstood Roosevelt was to write the let
ter and send U to Representative Nel

Taft Treats St as Joke.
At noon the next day Roosevelt' sat In
the president's room of . the senate
chambeiuat the ..capital signing final
bills of the administration. AU the
ceremonials preparatory to the inaugu
ration of President Taft were under
way. About, Roosevelt were grouped
member of the lmuse and senato. Taft
also was In tlio room.
Roosevelt .nt for Gardner and Nel
son. H grasped Nelson's hand and
exclaimed: "Well, I'm sorry."
Without discussing directly the sug
gestion as it had been-made by the In
surgents, he said he had brought to
Taft'e attention the suggestion that thr
rules be revised and , Cannon's power
abridged. As a result of the dlsousslon
that followed, he said, he concluded that
it would be impossible to write the letter
he had offered Nelson. He expressed
great sympathy with the Insurgent
plans. . , .
"Well.: Mr. President." said. Gardner,
"will you ask Mr. Taft to do .what he
can for us? s ... . ...
With an impulsive gesture Rodsevelt
grasped Gardner and Nelson: by, the
hand and ,led them to where, Taft stood
The other occupants of the room start
ed, and their attention was turned to
the two congressmen and Roosevelt
Roosevelt briefly explained to Taft
the plans the insurgents had madetfto
fight the-rules and . Cannon, and for
five nitnuieii pleaded for . support for
the insurgent cause, ending: .. . i
"At least, keep your hands off."
: Taft listened to th-ervld plea, threw
up his hands and turned Tfie matter' off
In a Joking way.

That was the" last official 'stand
Roosevelt took in favor of the insur

Within half an hour more Roosevelt

Many of them, it is learned, have been
