"The adjustment of relations between
employer and employe, so that they

such advantage to both as mutual jus

In the transportation and in the Indus

many cases where thousands and tens

thousands, are under a single direction,
and that presents questions which are
new end full of difficulty. Under the
conditions which prevailed from time
immemorial down to the advent of
steam and electricity, when the ordinary
number of employes was comparatively
small, the opportunity existed for di
rect personal contact between employer
and employe. They were nearly on the
same social, financial and political level

was a personal element, so to speak, of
real and constant influence which has

BIRTHDAY - OF IRiSII

HUK
The sons and daughters of Erin
crowded W. O. W. hall last night
to
pay honor to the beloved patriot. Bob
ert Emmett, and to listen again to the
beautiful songs and Stories of their
native land.
It was the 134th anniversary of the
birth of the young Irish martyr whose
memory is cherished by the Irish race.
and the program rendered helped to re
call the penal days of the old land
when lEmmett and his patriotic col
leagues inspired his countrymen to
throw off tha vnka nf tha Invader.
Many an Irish heart stood still for
a moment last night wnen young Aioy
slus Hyland, pupil of the Christian
Brothers, repeated the Immortal words
of the martyr as he stood at the dock
awaiting sentence of death, and many
a tear trickled down the cheeks of those
present when - Mrs. Katharine McCord
sang the plaintive melody. "The Purty
Girl Milking Her Cow." Mrs. Mc-
Cord's singing awoke memories that
had long slept and took some of those
present back again to the land of fair
ies, where their mothers lulled them to
sleep with the, sad, plaintive notes of
"Dhas Colleen.
John Fleming Shields delivered the
address of the .evening, and with all
the ability of the true Celt told of the
glories of the race and Of the time,
soon to come, when Emmetfa epitaph

Under the old conditions, not only was
the employe on nearly the same level
wlth"the employer, generally speaking,
but he had almost equal ability and re
sources in bargaining for wages or
otherwise protecting his rights. But
what can the single employe, who Is one
of thousands or ten of thousands, do
today to protect his individual right's or
promote his personal Interest He must
have the aid that comes from union
with- his fellow employes. ., .
Controversy Certain.
"Now,' It is characteristic of human
nature, and we are not likely to out
grow It, that controversies will spring
up. Granted equal honesty, equal sin
cerity on both sides, equal desire to
reach ..Just results, nevertheless men
will honestly differ. ' Society, therefore,
has found It necessary to provide some
way of settling disputes when . the
arise, which the parties themselves can.
not compose, and out of that necessity
have come our courts of Justice.
There la no-contract more complex
than a wage schedule, and no men who
are quicker or keener to see the bearing
of any proposal than the officials of a
railway labor organization. Negotia
tions proceed sometimes for weeks.
There la failure to agree. The employer
frequently hesitates or Is unwilling to
make further concessions which se
cretly he would be willing to make to
bring about a settlement, for fear they
will be accepted as a strn of yleldlns-
Vnd so be made the basis for further
demands; and, on the other hand, the
employe hesitates or la unwilling to
modify his demands, for fear that this
will be regarded by his adversary as
evidence or weakness, and thus lead to
failure to get what he' thinks he is hon
estly entitled to, and what he would be
willing to accept So this law contem
plates and we have tried to so admin
ister it, that tre duty of the mediators
is not to form a Judgment as to how
the dispute ought to be settled, but to
ascertain how it can be settled, to dis
cover the points on which both sides
can agree, and at the propitious mo
ment, it may be, to suggest terms which
they have reason to believe both sides
will be willing to accept; and happily
that result has been reached In practi
cally every instance. And so It comes
about that the mediators may in this
way take a measure of responsibility
by proposing a settlement which is not
only accepted, but which relieves ths
officials on both sides from possible
criticism.

f!Pc1l to The Journal.!
Independence, Or., March 5. Fire
originating in A. Nelson's meat market
at 1:30 o'clock this morning consumed
four buildings on C street between Main

posed to have originated from a fur

in the flames were spreading rapidly
to adjoining buildings on either si do
and in less than an hour at least (10,000
worth of property had been consumed. -
The building where the fire started
was owned by J. S. Cooper and the loss
is said to have been partly covered by
insurance but aside from this the loss' is
total. The losers are: A. Nelson, meat

DEMAND RESIGNATION
Resignation of John G. Schroeder Jr,
secretary of the municipal free employ
ment bureau, was demanded by the bu
reau this morning after Chairman Ralpa
C. Clyde and J. L. Ledwldge had admin
istered severe reprimands. Ledwldge
made a motion asking for the resigna
tion after he had introduced a letter
written by the firm of Ackerman &
Hcnroeaer,1 special lanor agents, to the
Peninsula Lumber company, offering to
furnish that company with laborers for
VI 1 W VVIIliUa 1611 VII. -J r------r -.-
Mr. Schroeder admitted that he had
written 75 similar letters to large con
tracting firms and mills of the state,
but he said the replies bad been un
satisfactory and that the firm of Ack
erman & Schroeder had abandoned the
project
"You were guilty of a very rtave In
discretion," said Chairman Clyde, ad
dressing Schroe'der,""and when I call
it that I put the case mildly."
Complaints have been coming to me
from all sides for a long time," said Mr.
Ledwldge, "alleging that Mr. Schroeder
baa been partial to .certain men and
that he has made 'pets' of others to the
discrimination of the great body ' of
nemployedl who have sought work
from the municipal bureau. I paid lit
tle attention to these complaints, but
lately I commenced to receive protests
from employers, as well aa laborers. I
told one of the complainants to pro
duce some proof that Mr. Schroeder was
not acting for the best interests of the
tty. This letter was the result"
"You have been after me ever since
took the Job. Mr. Ledwldge," inter
rupted Secretary Schroeder heatedly.
So has Councilman Clyde. You have
both tried to 'get' me at every turn and
in every way possible." '
W. H. McMonies, the third member of
the free employment bureau, refused to
vote to ask for the resignation of
Schroeder. He said that while he did
not approve of the Jetter- written by
the firm of which Schroeder acknowl
edged himself to be a member, he was
not disposed to take such extreme meas
ures. .
ORDINANCE IS READY
The meat tnspeotlon ordinance pre
pared by City Health Officer a H.
Wheeler will be submitted to the ways
and means committee of the city coun
cil tomorrow afternoon. The measure
repeals existing meat inspection laws
and provides for the appointment of two
Bract leal inspectors. -
One of the features of the proposed
law is a section providing that all cold
storage poultry. f'h and eggs must be
labeled as such. .
Another is a clause which declares
that the tag of the government bureau
of animal Industry on a carcass shall
be taken to mean that the meat was fit
for use at the time the tag was affixed.
A municipal Inspector has power to
condemn the meat afterward if It is
found that there has been any deteriora
tion. The measure forbids the sale of veal
under four weeks old, pigs under three
weeks, lambs under eight and forbids the
sale of any diseased meat, or meat of
animals that have been killed by acci

St. Louis, Zlo., March 5. After delib

case in wnicn relatives or ueorge A.
Kimmell. a Nlles, Mich., bank cashier,
tried to collect an Insurance policy, re
ported to Judge Amidon today that it
was unable to agree, and was discharged.
The jury yesterday repudiated the
claims of Andrew J. White that he is
the missing man. but was unable to
decide whether KlmmeU's mother and
i sister were entitled to the Insurance
! money. It Is reported that the Jury
stood 11 to 1 in favor of awarding the
amount or the policy to Mrs. Kimmell.
The Insurance company fought pay
ment on the ground that White's con
tention that he is Kimmell was true.
but Kimmell s relatives brought wit
nesses from the Pacific coast, who tes
tlfied that Kimmell had been killed in
a forest in Oreeon.
The status of the Kimmell case was
further complicated this afternoon when
four of the discharged Jurors told Judge
Amidon they had not signed the state
ment to the court yesterday in which
the Jury ruled that White's claim cf
being the missing man was untrue. The
four men declared the Jury was unable
to agree on anything. It could not be
learned whether Judge Amidon will take
any action In the matter.
