Council to Decide Whether to Add
to Auditorium Contract Price.
The city council tomorrow will deter
mine whether $26,000 is to be added
to the contract price for the construc
tion of the Auditorium by Hans Peder
son, Seattle contractor. It is contended
that an error of this amount was made
in the original bid, and that now Ped

work on the building unless the
money is forthcoming. A statement
of the work done and financial condi

A committee from the Building
Trades council appeared before Com-
missioner Baker this morning urging
I that the council allow the extra amount.
if tne council does not allow the
126.000 it has the alternatives of at
tempting to hold Pederson's bonds

Pederson's bondsmen are H. P. ScheeL

United Irish League
In Patriotic Meeting
O
At a rousing meeting of the United
Irish league in St. Patrick's church
hall last night, Decatur's famous toast
to America. "Our country in her Inter
course with foreign nations, may she
be always In the right, but our coun
try, right or wrong," was unanimously
adopted as the motto of the United
Irish league. James C. Costello, Rev.
E. P. Murphy. Colonel Emmet Calla
han, John O Hare, u. Shanahan and
M. J. Doyle were elected delegates to
the next national convention in New
York city, subject to the call of the
national president should the country
remain at peace.
Resolutions were passed commend
ing John Redmond's, masterly handling
of the home rule issue and predicting
an early and satisfactory settlement
of that hoary and vexed issue,
The right hand of fellowship was
by resolution extended to Americans
of English, Scotch, Welsh. Isle of Man.
Australian, New Zealand. South Af
rica or Canadian parentage or blood
who sympathized with the principles
of home rule for Ireland.
After the regular business Rev,
Father Edwin P. Murphy delivered an
eloquent eulogy on the life and char
acter of Abraham Lincoln, and Frank
B; Egan read Lincoln's favorite poem
by Lady Gregory, "The Lament of the
Irish immigrant," repeating the verse
mat Lincoln orten toucnmgiy re
ferred to:
Tm very lonely now. Mary.
For the poor make no new friends;
But. oh, they love the better still.
The few our father sends!
And you were all I had. Mary
My bleasin' and my pride!
There's nothing left to care for now,
Since my poor Mary died."
In closing the meetine President
Hennessy Murphy aTdvised those Dres
ent not to enter verbal controversy
over the war or oui rtlntlnna thrtn
for there was nothing to argue about
since the president was right. "Keep

ml REJECT FOUR
OUT OF SEVEN OFFERS,
OF P R T L. & P. CO.
The Sell wood Division Voted
on the Propositions Sub
mitted; Accepted Three.
SHARE AND SHARE ALIKE
Committees, as Before Appointed, War
Botataod and rmpowered to Xako
Agreemant With the Company.
Carmen of the Sellwood division of
the Portland Railway, Light & Power
company, have through a vote ex
pressed their acceptance or rejection
of the company's proposed changes in
working conditions as submitted in a
recent statement issued by President
Franklin T. Griffith. In the accept
ance and rejection of the seven items
detailed by the company, the carmen's
vote was unanimous.
Both Classes Share Alike.
The result of the vote was:
"1. Cars will toe sanded and air res
ervoirs will be pumped up for motor-
men, and schedules will be provided
for extra conductors working unfamil
iar runs, making it' unneceaary for
them to copy same. Reporting time
will be reduced to five minutes, which
will be paid for as at present."
Rejected on the ground that while
motormen are benefited no better
ment is provided for conductors, the
sentiment of the carmen being that
both classes should share alike in any
Improved working conditions.
"2. Extra men will be paid 25 cents
when required to report and. wait for
an hour without obtaining work." Ac
cepted.
"3. Conductors relieved at the end
of their run at points distant from the
barn will, in order to make 'turnln, be
paid for th,e time required to go from
that point to the barrr by quickest
route." Rejected.
"4. Night runs of over seven hours'
continuous time ending after midnight
will be so arranged that a layover for
supper will be provided about 9 p. m. '
Rejected.
Hew Sign-Up Condition.
"5. As far as possible, without
making runs too short. the owl runs
will be arranged so that men working
same will not have to take out morn
ing trippers." Rejected, tout provision
offered that when the company changes
a division schedule there shall be a
new sign-up; also that vacant runs
will be filled according to-.senlority.
- "6. A new sign-up will be held at
any barn at the request of the trus
tees of the brotherhood from that
barn; provided, however, net more
than one such sign-up will be al
lowed in any one 30-day period." Ac
cented.
"7. The company has agreed that
certain changes in uniform may be
referred to the brotherhood for its
recommendations, the only require
ments being , that certain standards
shall annly for 'all men." Accepted
Last Friday meetings of the carmen
of the Sellwood division were held
for the purpose of securing the vote
of the men on the proposed 1-cent
increase in the hour rate of pay. The
night crews and swing shift men met
in the morning and the day crew men
at night.
t Committees Continued.
Following the report of the commit
tee to which had been delegated th-
reDresentatlon of the division in the
conferences with the company offi
cials, it was the unanimous sense of
the carmen that the committee be re
talned and given further power in the
negotiations. This was embodied in
the following motion which was
adopted :
"Be it moved and seconded that the
committee of the Sellwood. division
be placed in power to handle the busi
ness of this division, and any agree
ment that they may reach with the
officials of the Portland Railway.
Light & Power company will be' sat
isfactory to the men of the Sellwood
division,; and as a basis for tliel.
negotiations any raise given is to b
come effective at once."
Balsa Effective at One.
In suggesting an increase of 1 cent
per hour in the carmen s pay the com
pany offered it to become effective
between now and July 1. The last
provision of he Sellwood carmen's
resolution would require any raise
granted to become effective upon its
acceptance by the carmen.
The other divisions of the streetcar
company are expected to hold meet
Ings during the present week for tin
purpose of voting upon the acceptance
of the proposed changes in working
conditions and also upon the accept-
ance or the company s offer of the
cent pay increase.
County Board Says
Approach Is Secure
A large delegation from Albina and
the Peninsula district which crowded
into the county commissioners' room
todav went home well satisfied on re
ceiving the assurance of the board that
the Vancouver trestle approach to the
Pnterstate bridge traffic would not be.
closed Wednesday but would be kept
open and temporarily repaired if it
was found that the cost would not b
too great. '
Paul Struck voiced the sentiment of
the crowd when he said: "Commis
sioner Muck, if you do this I will vote
for you next time but if you don't I
win kmre you."
The delegation was also riven o
understand that an effort wovjjd ' he
made in the future to put the approach
on a permanent basis with a fill and
a bridge,
A. B. Manley acted as spokesman
of the delegation. The principal point
of the argument advanced was that
Vancouver avenue was the only stret
on which there was no streetcar line
and for that reason it should be kept
open to vehicle traffic. An exhibit was
introduced showing that if the ap
proach were abandoned it would mean
a" loss of 10 per rent to the property
owners In . the district ' which would
mean a corresponding decrease In the
assessable property or a loss of SI 0U
000 a year in taxes which would in a
short time pay for a permanent fi!

could 'be repaired, and made to last

A telegram received today by the ;
Portland Chamber of Commerce from
Senator Georare E. Chamberlain lndi-
cated that the bill is being watched
carefully and that every endeavor will
be made to protect the shipbuilders.
Provisions May Hot Xemaln.
Senator Chamberlain's telegram fol

from all of them. (Signed)
"GEO. E. CHAMBERLAIN."
At a meeting of the local shipbuild
ers yesterday, at which 11 plants were
represented the proposed bill was dis
cussed, and at the conclusion a tele
gram of protest, signed by the differ
ent firms, was sent to the Oregon dele
gation at Washington.
Partial Payments Made.
Jhodld the bill pass with its pres
included provision that "no ves
sels being constructed in the United
States shall enter upon the waters of
the United States unless owned by a
citizen of the United States," ship
builders will find themselves in a
serious position. At present Portland
plants have under contract for for
eign owners 20 ateel steamships, and
in a number of cases partial pay
ments have been made on the con
tract. Under the proposed bill, which has
the approval of the new government
shipping board, none. of. these con
tracted vessel, would be permitted to
be launched or delivered to the fotrelgn
owners. This event would result in
breach of contract upon the part of the
shipbuilder, it is held, and would In
volve a ruinous loss that would extend
Into the millions. .
. A vigorous campaign of protest
against the proposed bill is well under
way, and every effort will be made to
have the drastic provisions stricken
from the shipping measure.

line to save his pet measure house bill
260, th provision of which require
the state to furnish a residence and
maintenance for Parole Officer Joseph
Keller and family, being equivalent to
a very substantial increase in salary
for the parole officer.
This is the "Joker" bill which was
slipped: through the house and the sen
ate, and when discovered was recalled
by the senate yesterday for further
consideration.
News of the action taken by the
senate was, quickly conveyed to the
governor's office and the chief execu
tive fully appreciated for the flrat
lime what a wonderful little weapoi
is that famous "two edged sword,"
otherwise known as the single Item
veto.

A string of senators was summoned
to the eserutive crfice and tne gov
