There It an unsettled difference be tweon the Horn Telephone company and the International Brotherhood of Elec trical Worker. A atatement intended to cover the facta of both tides and to be entirely fair to both hat been secured by The Journal. A demand that the Home Telephone company tubscrlbe to an agreement with the . plcctrleal workers" union and the company's refusul to do 00 Is the bails Of the trouble. The telephone company manager, J. B. Mlddleton, Insists that there la no atrike and that an appearance of a atrike Is being maintained by the electrical work ars. 1 C W. Palmer, acting business repre. ' tentative of the electrical workers, says !; there is a strike and that It will con- f. tlnue until . the Home Telephone com- ;i pany recognizes the union, or, In other i. words, signs the agreement Said Mr. "An agreement with the electrical workers was made by the I'aclflo Tele- , phone and Telegraph company last Jan uary. This agreement recognized the union and put the men on a satisfac tory wage tcale. We then turned our attention to the Horn Telephone com- Pny. . 1 ays About IS Walked Out. "Their treatment of us at first 'led us to believe they were favorable to us and would sign the agreement, This went on for six weeks, then they turned us down cold. We put the mat ter up to the Central Labor council and the electrical workers of the coast They advised us to pull the job. Not over 16 men walked out when the strike was called, and of these six or eight were union men. The strike was declared May 1. We look for a satisfactory set tlement We do not believe the tele- phone company will hold out We are sure the strike is hurting it. We want the wage scale of 14 a day and recog nition of the union. The company has been paying $2.60 to 4 a day. We have had aome banners made. We have apoken to workers for the company on their way to work asking them to come into the union. We haven't tried any violent methods, we have . rorbldden 1 violence. The trouble at Oswego waa something the electrical workers had nothing to do with and was started by one of their own men. We have sent out letters to Horns telephone users and we have gotten results from one of about each 60 letters. We are satisfied with progress." "It was a bunch of outlaws that caused the trouble at Oswego," declared J. B. Mlddleton, manager of the Home Telephone company. None of the. com pany's men had anything to do with it None of the company's men have had anything to do with the strike." Statement ts Signed. Eighty-five per cent of the men working for the company have signed a statement declaring that they art perfectly satisfied with the hours of work, the conditions and the wages. There is no strike bo far as-the com pany or the men , who work for it are concerned. Perhaps ten' men left us and of these two Or three were union men. We had'nt bad more than that number of union men working for us before. All the trouble is being made by out siders. We were and are getting along wenand I repeat that the men are tatlafled. Outsiders are making all the trouble. It hasn't affected us more than in the most Incidental way. We have lost, perhaps, 15 subscribers. We hold that these outsiders have Just as much to do with our work as would some man who could go to a property owner, tell him his house needed painting, and then proceed to boycott and fight him if he said he would use his own judg ment about the painting of the house. We think we have a right to employ either union or non-union men. We think we have a right to pay them what they are worth to us, and not pay an- ordin ary worker the wages of an expert and skilled worker. We have beei liberal with salaries. We have treated the men well. They have shown apreciatlon by staying with us. The trouble makers, however, have neen using the coward's methods, cutting up cables, endeavor ing to precipitate riots, placing pickets about our premises to intimidate the men, carrying banners and so forth," What Union Demands, " Manager Mlddleton Issued some time ago & formal statement setting forth the company's side of tne contention. In it he says that the electrical Workers demand that men who have been mem bers of the union but are not now, be discharged, that the company sign an agreement with the International Broth erhood of Electrical Workers and that the rates of pay of some employes be in creased. He adds: "None of the parties making these demands are now. nor ever have been in the employ of this company, nor were they able to show that they repre sented any of the employes of this company. , "This company employs, and will con tnue to employ, both union" and non union men and women Just as long as both classes exist, because It is char tered by a vote of all the people to serve all the people. "No difference exIatA, between this company and . any. of . its employes so far as known." &. Mr. Mlddleton proceeds to say that the company pays some of its employes more, some less, than the Bell com pany, because of difference In the na ture of the work, and then concludes: Sana! Treatment Promised. "The matter Is submitted to the peo ple in accordance with the company's invariable policy,, and it will abide by the t'ul'Uc'w 1:clnlm. if t! - pulMo as a whole wlish nri mMltlnriiil tax (the coiuputiy 1m allowed by Jts charter to charge more than the premint rotei), or If they wish competent m;n, performing faithful service, to he (Uncharged with out caune, this com puny will bow In ac- Quletitence. "Tha right of all labor to organise la admitted, but the right of an lnuivia uui to Join or not to Join auoh organiza tion. Is Juat as clear. Both sida will receive equal treatment from this com pany, and neither will be allowed to dic tate." CAPTAIN U. B. SCOTT, PIONEER DESIGNER OF FAST RIVER STEAMERS (Continued From Page One.) he had been a skipper and builder of boats on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers prior to that time., The first year he was here he built a river vessel that was a marvel of her kind. . Beat Draw Sight Inohes ' This was the. light draft steamboat Ohio. It drew only eight Incnes light and front 11 to 18 Inches laden, and was the lightest draft craft that ever ran on the upper Willamette. Before she dem onstrated her ability in a notable trial trip in which she went as far up the river as Eugene, this boat was the butt and laughing stock of nearly every river man In this section. , She was an uncouth appearing craft with an utter lack of polish, and fine varnish. But In the first three months of her service she cleared $10,000 for her owners, and became a model for other .boatbullders to pattern after. There is an interesting story In how she came to be built . On his arrival here. Captain Scott who waa not overburdened with money, tried to get employment with the Peo ple's Transpbrtatlon company and the Oregon Steam Navigation company. Turned down by them, he took the ma chinery out of an old dredge and built the Ohio". Interested ' with htm In this ven ture were Lamar B. Seeley. Samuel H. Brown, tha lata E. W. Crichton and Z. 3, Hatch, now of California. The re markable partnership between these men that began then continued un broken until the Columbia River at Puget Sound Transportation company, Into which their business grew, ,was sold a year ago. The- death of Mr. Crichton last week was the first gap In their membership. Captain Scott's is tha second. Uriah Seeley, brotner or Lamar u. a W 1. .

Other boats deaigned and built by rantein Beott include the City of Salem, another Willamette river boat and the Fleetwood, which ran on the Columbia to the Cascades and later to Astoria, snd cost the Oregon Kaiiroaa St Navigation company, its competitor, a mint of money. The first Telephone was built in 1882, and burned in 1887. Her burning was a dramatic episode. It took place In the summer beacn season, when the Telephone was running as night boat between Fortiana ana As toria, connecting there witn tne nixie old Ilwaco for North Beach points. One mornlna- the Telephone, after an un eventful night trip, swung into the up per bay and headed for Astoria. There were hundreds or passengers auunru, mostly women and children, bound for beach points. Astoria was snout four miles off.when Captain Scojt, the wheel, was called througn tne speamng uo j io neer. "Engine room's afire,"- came the tense message "It's driving us from, the en gines." ' "Put her full speed ahead!" ordered Captain Scott v Then ensued as dramatic a race for the lives of women and little children as evar was run. Captain Scott calm and collected at the wheel, headed for the shore, four miles away. Boat In names. Before that race was five minutes old, the whole after part of the boat was in flame. The wind of the Tele phone's passage blew a great sheet of smoke and flame far behind the churn ing wheel. : The passengers thronged the decks on j the forward part of the ship, but with the inspiring example of Captain Scott's coolness to steady them, there was no panic. The engines of the Telephone did not fail In the great crisis and Captain Scott brought her to the shore and beached her as gently as If making an ordinary landing. Every soul aboard was saved. No one was even injured. But the Telephone burned to the water line. In all his years of service as pilot and captain, and later as commodore for his company, Captain Scott never lost or injured a passenger. Knew Bis Business Thoroughly. Captain Scott was a thorough steam boat many in every way. In all the time that he ran a boat he would never accept pay for carrying a corpse. A competing line whicn had a traffic agreement with him once objected strenuously to this custom, and. required him to pay them their traffic sharer ior carrying bodies of the dead that had come from their lines. "Pay them and glva them their money, was Captain Scott a gruff re mark when this was called to their at tention; "As long aa I'm on the river I'll never charge a cent for carrying a Corpse -maybe It's the only free ride soma of them ever had." Captain T. H. Crang, Portland man ager of the Union Oil company, who was under Captain Scott for eight months on the Telephone and succeeded him aa its skipper, tells a characteristic Inci dent of him. . . ... .. The Telephone, of whose record for speed Captain Scott was intensely proud, had once as a competitor a boat named tha Bonlta. One day as tha Telephone neared Eureka, a cannery town, the Bo nlta. was Just pulling out A man on the Bonlta Jumped overboard so he could take the Telephone.
