To the Edi tor of The Journal In The Journal of January 24 there .was a letter signed "A. M. R.," full of unsupported state ments, which I wish to answer. Ths statement that there is no reason why a single man should be unemployed Is so absurd that it hardly needs refuta tion, r ask A. M. R. if be can place the thousands of unemployed now in the city of Portland?, Then why all this study by philanthropists, students of government and political econo mists? A. M. R. speaks of the refusal or men coming out of Eugene I Dre sume he means the Willamette. Pacific railroad construction camps to go to worn, i thank the intelligence of a great number of the workers that they did refuse. Men were shipped in from San Francisco, Sacramento, Portland and other labor market centers. They were dumped In Eugene like so many cattle. To all camps on the other side of Twohy's tunnel camp (Notl Camp) they were charged stage fare as high as $9, according to location, and 35 cents per meal, and slept under most The men were Inc. which . pays 2ft cents an hoar, working. Now, as to the foreigners. Let ins advlss A. M. R. that even they are not all satisfied. Some of the papers tell ns it was. they who first spread the principles of Socialism and Industrial unionism. With regard to the theft of clothes, that Is an Individual matter. I don't presume to say that all workers are white winged angels.. Men without clothes to wear are quite a valuable asset for the commis sary. No small amount or the proms of most of the contractors are derived from: the "Robissary." s it is com monly called. It is well known that the bosses and Interpreters very often conspire to force foreigners to pay them tor jods. The two. torether with the "employ ment sharks," have easy picking until the victim gets wise. Changes as to treatment of. men in camps In the past few years are be cause of those rebellious souls who dare to aaltate against conditions. The likes of A. M. R. do not refuse tne Bet terment, though they abuse the men who fight for them. As to "charity," I say. "yes; do away with it" But mark you. whenever you do. It will only endanger a system which needs It. and will rear In Its tMLri a. svatem of Justice, where "all men will be workers and none be shirk ers." J. B.

To the Editor of The Journal Kindly permit me to offer a few remarks on an editorial in Tuesday's Journal under the caption, "A CorvalllsUte'a plan." In it you surely do not present all possible view points. All you say of the "dignity of labor" and the "honorable garb of the worker" is true, providing the right definition of "dignity" be kept in mind, which Is "to do your share of the world's work, and no more." Could this definition be universally under stood and applied It would prevent a will attempt to determine the value of the work done on the rug, and the right of Speler to retain the rug until he Is paid. Judge Davis Moves. Circuit Judge Davis moved his court temporarily last night from (he nortlt end of the third floor of the "east wing of the court house to the south end of the same corridor. His courtroom Is being fitted with tapestry to fill the recesses of the ceiling that the acoustics may be improved. Chinese Gamblers Fined. Twenty- three Chinese gamblers were each fined $20 in the municipal court this morning, while the boss gambler was fined $75. This made a total of $53o in fines. The raid was made by Ser geant Harms and Patrolman Wise and Long at Third and Flanders streets. Heports Theft of Coat.

The pay for common laborers In all camps except underground work, was $2.25 for a day of 19 hours, and not $2.50, as A. M. R. states. Of course a great number would not go to work in the camp to which they were shipped, but would hike to some other campy where they would not be In debt. f- Vhat were the conditions in the camps? TiTe writer worked from No vember, 1912, tojune, 1913, in differ ent camps. Herels a sample camp: Camp 18 (GlommejK Gamp) Tents overcrowded; rough boarded unks, two high; 16 men to a tent 18x20, and work er considered lucky to get a 'bunk In the tent; at least 12 men sleeping put In the barns; grub passable; mud to onets knees; day's work about 10 M hours. In no instance were there sanitary arrangements worthy of the name, un less it were a single shower bath at Twohy's tunnel, which was of peculiar mechanism. Would spout boiling wa ter upon the unwary user. I can truthfully say the majority, of the fel lows did want to keep clean, and did attempt it. The only facility I have ever ob served for washing clothes is the John D. oil can, which the men themselves secure; and these cans are always working. Let us do a little figuring, taking even the figures of A. M. R. of $2.50 per day. Six times $2.50 Is $16 a week pay; $5.26 per week for board in all camps within 30 miles of Eugene, and $1 per day in all other camps, or, say, $6 per week for board as a fair aver age; $1 a month for hospital; commis sary at least $1.60 per week (tobacco, etc). This will leave $7.26 at the very most. Why, those spendthrifts! What For Unemployment Solution Offered. Portland, Jan 28. To the Editor of The ! Journal All kinds of men are looking for work in Oregon and all the papers say there is all kinds oi it. it there Is I fall to see it now. Here is something to think about: Why not nut all the men you can, to worn on the state roads and pay tbem $2.60 for eight hours' work and not wait tin summer time, when there is a scarcity of labor and wages will be $3 and $3.60? This would put the money in circulation and help to make times a little better all around for everybody There would not be an army of un employed going through the country looking for work. And If they didn work at that, then let them be put to work with a guard and turn the money in to pay for the men that guard them. I don't think there would be many to guard, as they would want the money. Let us not permit the W. C. T. U. to talk us out of paying the men In money, as they will need it to buy clothes with and see a good time with. If they will drink, let them drink or do as they please with it, as It theirs. They have earned It by the sweat of their brow. J. BRENNAN few. with the aid of machinery, froan doing the work, thereby forcing the many of us to be Idle or but partially employed snd to go from plare to place begging for Jobs. By in way. I hare never bad a. Job; it has always been the boss' job. and If he could not make a profit off ray labor, he has taken the ipb from me. At present, among those of us who arc working, one-third are engaged at work that Is absolutely uncles. Such are nearly all soldiers, lawyers, doe tors, penny-paid p reave hers, snd all real eat ate sharks, title abstracters gatherers of Interest, rent and profits all these to create a seeming need for this cursed competitive system. The man who will pray "Thy Kingdom Come." and not try to know what the kingdom of Ood (love) on earth would be like, continuing to vote for any party which supports this prevailing order, surely gabbles snd chatters. "Com, let us reason together." and consider a state of industrial freedom and the cooperative commonwealth, wherein the workers will assume the responsibility, the boater, of dotsg the world's work for tbemeelvaa.

Baker, Or., Jan. 27. To the Editor of The Journal As a member of the Oregon Development league, you are no j doubt Interested In knowing how the rest of the state Is getting along. Baker county is proud of Its record for the past year. The lumber Industry has materially Increased its production, and the payrolls from the mills in the county are close to $90,000 per month. The gold output was treble that of 1912, and more producers will be added to the list the coming year. The hog. dairy and poultry Indus tries are showing marked gains and promise to become great producers in the future. The grain yield is prob ably a little short of 1912, but the in crease in other agricultural products will more than balance the deficit. The fanners are beginning to realise the. value of diversified farming and are fast waking up to the great re sources that are yet undeveloped, and are appreciative of the possibilities of the future. A large area of new ground will be broken this year and we ex- Three Says More.
