Duniway, attorney for the Broadway bridge obstructionists, served notioe on the mayor, city attorney and city auditor, that he had appealed the Kiernan-Dunlway case from the decision of the Oregon supreme court to the su preme court of. the United States. Al though the appeal from the knockout blow given twice to the obstructionists by the supreme court of the state has been asked, there la said to be little chance that Duniway will actually get a hearing berore the highest court, due to the fact that every court that has so far passed on the obstructionist ease has declared it without merit. n (United Pratt Leased Wire.)

COUNCIL AnACKS -STREET BLOCKADE Instant Legal Action Ordered Against Inman-Poulsen on East Sixth With the object of checking the al leged encroachments. of the Inman-Poulsen Lumber company on a number of east side streets, the city council this morning unanimously passed an ordi nance Instructing tho city attorney to take immediate legal steps to prevent the obstruction of East Sixth, and other streets, across which the mill company nas placed barricades. "I want to know whether the city owns these streets or not," said Councilman Rushlight, who iniroauced the ordinance. An ordinance introduced by Counoll- man Annand this morning would com pel the Portland Railway, Light & Power company and the Oregon and Washing ton Railway & Navigation company to construct an overhead viaduct at , the crossing of the two railways on Sandy road at east Thirty-Seventh street. This crossing is considered very dangerous and there have been" numerous narrow escapes from fatal collisions between streetcars and the trains of the steam road.-- The ordinance was referred to the street committee. An ordinance, directing the city attor ney to Institute suit against the street car company to compel it to pay an annual rental' of $15,000 a year Instead of 11200 a year, the amount now being paid by the company to the city for the use of the new Hawthorne avenue bridge, was Introduced by Councilman Ellis. The ordinance was passed. An ordinance authorising the sale of the pesthouse property on Canyon road Was passed. The action was requested by the health board. The property con sists of about 2 acres. A . new vehicle tax ordlnanoe to re place the one declared Invalid yesterday by the state supreme court, was brought up from the license committee.

He said the object of the measure s to prevent newsboys and merchandise peddlers from waking at untimely hours, people who live in hotels and in the res idence district REALTY IN LEAVE E After a full discussion In which near ly every member present took part, the Portland" Realty board yesterday after noon decided to make no effort to se cure a repeal of the present law reg ulating the collection In the courts of commissions earned in the sale of real estate not that the realty men are satisfied with the law requiring a writ ten contract with owners before a com mission can be collected for negotiat ing sales, but the concensus of opinion at the meeting was that a return to the old order of things, where fre quently half a dozen brokers claimed a division of the commission, would not Improve the situation. As the proposed state convention of real estate men which was to have been called to meet In Portland the latter part of this month was for the purpose of aiding In the repeal of the contract law, the plan of bringing the brokers together so soon was dropped for the present. However, it was the sense of yesterday's meeting that a state con vention of realty brokers should be held in this city some time this spring. A resolution was adopted to put the name of W. M. KiUingsworth. president of the board, on the insurgent ticket that is to be voted on January 18 for the board of governors of the Commer cial club. The following committee was appointed to make an organized effort In Mr. Killingsworth's behalf: V. V. Jones, H. W. Fries. A. F. Swenson, W. H. Chapln and F. L. Purse. The board voted down a proposition to petition the city council to require real estate agents to pay an annual license fee of $100.- Secretary Rountree was Instructed to confer with local title and abstract companies as to the advisability of In viting the American Association of Title Men to meet in Portland in 1912. A get-together dinner will be. given by the board early In February, the exact date to be selected and announced later by the executive committee.

BVHIS10RY Reiterates That Roads Coutd Save Million Daily, and .Gives Some Recipes. (United Pren Leafed Wlra.t Washington, Jan. 11 Declaring ig norance and greed were responsible for the proposed freight rate Increases, At torney Louis Brandels appeared before the Interstate Commerce commission today, arguing against higher tariffs. Brandels repeated his .statement that the railroads by using modern methods would save $1,000,000 dally, and out lined briefly the plan which he said would effect this saving. "The separation of plannipgfrom performance in the matter of develop ment, a 'look before you leap' policy, Is one of the essential principles,'' he said. Other principles: "Putting the bur den of accomplishment upon the men responsible, not upon men whose duty it is to obey orders; a universal pre p&rednene for emergency; An .analytical study of each -operation to" determine how much could be done with the least expenditure; a standardisation of meth ods, material and equipment" The present management of railroads, he told the commission, was expensive and antiquated. ' - Tho railroads, he said, were allied with the steel trust and the coal barons, and sought to have the interests of the roads and other corporations Involved conserved through the debauchery of the public press. Other devices that would help the roads in economizing, Brandels said, would be to keep records of Industrial performances in order to ascertain what each man does, how long given tasks re quire, and to form a basis for paying an adequate reward for Individual ac complishment He said numerous railroads' asserted Increased rates were necessary as a re sult of wage Increases and the Increased cost of steel. A partial trial of scien tific management by the Atchison, To peka & Santa Fe, he said, reduced oper ating expenses - in the machine shops over 60 per cent annually. He said a 8 per cent raise to all the railroads in the territory asking Increases would mean (27,000,000 annually.
