Company Manager Says There
Is No Strike; Union Declares
Strike Is on for Recognition
of Union.
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. . T
Seelev. waa not here In 1873, but for
20 years was associated with them as
agent of the company on Puget sound.
Exciting Baoe Seealled.
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.
