Chautauqua's'last working day proved
to be the greteSrof the season. The
change Jn the weather was bo gratefully
t was taken of
the threatened rain, and every Incom
ing car deposited a crowd which taxed
Its capacity.
Labor had its -inning, and showed its
appreciation by sending a member of
unions tn a hody to hear the speaker
f twnfti-nwm; John Mitchell. The
"address was a masterly presentation of
the subject, "The Philosophy, Purposes
end Ideals of Trade Union Movement."
He htld his large audience at closest at
tention for an hour and a half, which
as only broken by the apr'ause that
frequently met his points.
Consumers' Xteague .Meets.
The Consumers' league held a large
meeting in the auditorium at the Fomm
Hour. ' Dr. u. H. cnapman iaiung iu ay
- jpear, Rev. Father O'Hara of Portland
was called upon, who consented to fill
'the hour, as the topic. "Can Women
.Live on the Wages They EarnT' was one
he Is deeply interested in. Father
I O'Hara facetiously Introduced himself
I by saying that "he was glad there was
lone platform where he and Dr. Chap
man could meet and agree." This was
appreciated by the audience, which evi
dently know of their ability to disagree
on religious subjects. The speaker was
Introduced by the president of the. Con
sumers league, Mrs. Henry Russell Tal

There was a slight lessening In the
attendance of the classes this morn
ing, as a number were preparing to
leare tha grounds, though few will move
out before Monday morning. It waa a
regretful parting, however, for those
who wera present.
Tha crowning event, of a season
marked by high-class music, was the
concert laat night given .in the audi
torium, and conducted by Professor
Chapman. The soloists were Mrs. Pau

Boss Fargo, tenor; Francis Walker, bari

At tha close a splendid display of
fireworks was set off at the (baseball
field. It was the most elaborate dis

"' It was a splendid address."
; "' Crisp Epigrams..
Mr. Mitchell's address waa replete In
crisp epigrams and striking statements.
He began his address by a brief review
of the history 6f the Industrial changes,
begtnnlng with the introduction of ma
chinery and the resulting factory sys
tem, that led to the present trades un
ions. , " - -;r
"The complexity of trade unionism is
merely the complexity of human life it
self," he said. : "No matter how simple
the fundamentals of a labor organisa
tion, its rules and regulations are bound
to become complex as soon as they en
counter the conditions of modern Indus
trial life. ' : - , . . .
" "Today society ia organised on the
basis of a minute and complex organiza
tion of labor, with a great interchange
of products. We have ia modern so-
ciety the example of all producing for
all Instead of each producing- for him
self, as in olden times. No one can un
derstand the labor movement without
understanding this revolution In . labor
Itself.
"Whether for weal or for woe, the
change was inevitable and relief can
be found only In further progress, not in
return to the old order or things.
"The principle - of trades unionism
stsrts from the- simple basis that the
working man alone cannot bargain ad
vantageously. Because he knows noth
ing of the condition of the market, has
no money, must sell' his labor at once
to earn his bread, the laboring man
must bargain at a tremendous disadvan
tage And labor unionism recognizes
that under such conditions, the tendency
is always toward, degenerating the la
boring class.

Here is an interesting map. It represents the central portion of Portland. Each one of the.
pins indicates one of the thousand of fine homes where Eilers Music House has sold a Chickering.
Most of them are Baby Grands. Note the enormous number of pins in the Nob Hill section. A
Chickering in every block. The finest apartment house in Portland has four Chickering Baby
Grands and several Chickering uprights and a Chickering Player Piano de Luxe. Note the south,
of Washington street district. A dozen Chickerings in some of the blocks ! Note IrvingtOn. The
best homes everywhere have a Chickering.
The name of nearly every man or woman prominent in educational, musical, social, profession
al, political, judicial, manufacturing, transportation or commercial life in the Pacific Northwest
appears among the list of purchasers of Chickering Pianos from Eilers Music House.
This clustor represents Chick
erings sold la Willamette Heights,
Slags Heights, Blythewood, Ar

The Chickering
was established In
Boston more than
a generation pre
vious to any other
American high
grade piano, and
ever since then
the Chick ering
has occupied un
disputed first
rank, an honorable record
nearly a century.
No matter what
claimed elsewhere, the Chick
ering is entitled to the distinc
tion as the Nation's best. Is it
not conclusive evidence that in
almost every fine home in Port
land the Chickering, America's
grandest and noblest piano, is
occupying a place of honor, as
shown in this map?

ment in conditions until the principle
Is firmly established that In all agree
ments as to conditions, housing, wages,
and so forth, bargains must be between
employers and workmen Uargalning col
lectively, not separately.
"The ideal of trades unionism may be
summed up as follows: ;
"First, A minimum wage that shall
enable men and.wom'en to live in a man
ner conformable to Americanstand
ards,: to educate their children, and to
make adequate, provision against sick
ness and old age.
"Second, The eight hour workday,
which gives opportunity for the cultiva
tion of home life, the enjoyment of
books, muslo and wisely employed lei

"Third, Legislation making trunlaw
ful for children of tender years and
frail physique to be employed In gainful
pursuits. ,
"Fourth, Laws providing for the safe
guarding of the lives and limbs of work
ers engaged In dangerous occupations,
and for compensation to workmen for
Injuries sustained in the course of their
employment.
"Fifth, The progressive improvement
of the sanitary working and housing
Conditions of the wage earners, and
finally, .
"The preservation of the constitution

speech and a free press."
Mr. Mitchell then enlarged on these
fundamental principles at length, dis
cussing particularly problems that
most vitally -affect the -comfort and
welfare of the people.
In discussing 'strikes he said: "I sup
pose no phase of unionism has been so
much denounced as strikes. It has been
said that this is the purpose of unions,
but this is not true. Unions organize
to better wages and raise conditions of

than the United States desires war,- be
cause i may happen to be prepared.
"But these hris been much exaggera
tion in regard to strikes. Let me tell
you, from figures scientifically com
piled, that ; the average working man
loses less than one day in the year from
strikes. The average strike lasts less
than 23 days.
Strikes Come Seldom.
"Strikes come seldom, but every
paper is filled with stories' f "threat
ened" strikes or boycotts, and a wrong
impression is gained.
"However, strikes may be evil,-but
they're not so evil as child labor. .
"Strikes may be evO. but they're not
so evil as a depraved manhood and . a
depraved womanhood.
-Strikes- may- be-evll,- bat there !s
more to a -strike than mere hours and
conditions of labor.
"As workman nd employer are
brought more closely together, learn
more about their own businesses by
mutual agreements, strikes and lock
outs will become things of the past."
Audience Is Stirred.
Mr. Mitchell stirred his audience to
Intense enthusiasm when he declared
that trade unionism, beyond the vast
deal that it ha already accomplished to
better the condition of working women,
goes further in demanding for women
the right to vote Paid he:
"I have been particularly- interested
In statements made In debate on this

uses the Chickering
that it is considered the best instrument for
the purpose. Financial consideration never influences
the choice o a Chickering. Whenever another make
has been'chosen we find it is because of a bonus In
one way or other. The old time-honored house of
Chickering & Sons will not pay an artist, even the
greatest, to play Chickering Pianos. In this respect
Chickering & Sons stand alone. They are the only
house of any prominence that does not employ subsi

this chivalry and gallantry of home and
society circles Is forgotten at the fac
tory door. There the woman receives
no more consideration than the strong
man.
, "Let me suggest that If the women
can't make a better Job of governing
than a great many men have done In
our eastern states, then I lose a great
deal of my 'confidence In their Judg
ments It Is Important' for ou to know
that .In the past 20 years the- labor or
ganizations of the United States have
said time and again that woman should
have equal rights with men. " And I
am certain that working men of Oregon
will do their part in seeing that at the
next election the women here-get the
right to vote." L

Of , woman end child labor, Mr. Mitch
ell said in part: "It is 'hard to recon
cile the humanity of this age with the
wholesale . employment of Children.
With each improvement of mankind, the
period of childhood should be extended
that the next generation may. benefit
If trade unionism' had done nothing else
to Justify its existence, Its accomplish
ments to better the conditions of work
ing women and children would be am
ple Justification;
'"It seems a -reflection on our intelli
gence that In a nation like, ours women
and little children should be compelled
to work while strong men are . com
pelled to remain idle, building up a
permanent army of unemployed, as In
Europe. In the " Titanio disaster - we
were thrilled at the heroism of '. the
men who stood back, while the women
were saved. My friends, If I had mm
way, I would make the unwritten law
of the sea the written law of the land
women and children first"
In conclusion Mr. Mitchell, read the
pledge of trades unionism, the so-called
"secret oath," which he said sums up
ID
Occasionally we see published an isolated view of an interior of a home that may have secured
a make of piano other than Chickering. A number of Chickering owners have even asked us why
we do not publish similar views of Portland's finest homes which have the Chickering. This
map indicates the almost utter impossibility of our doing such a subject justice. If we published,
every Sunday an interior view of one Portland home containing a Chickering it would take al
most 40 years to publish only those that have already been sold by us. Even if we could get
six views on each page of this paper it would take almost 350 pages of The Journal to show only
those we have sold thus far. EILERS MUSIC HOUSE.
