One of the potent factors for the
growth and development of Oregon Fir
camp has been H. F. MeGrath, who was
-a 'charter member and has been an
active and loyal worker ever since.
MeGrath was born at Beloit. Ivans.,
9 years ago, coming to Oregon in the
early nineties he soon became active in
the lnduetrtal and fraternal life of
Tortland. For several years he held
a responsible position with Olds, Wort
man & King, and later was manager
of the Ln Grande Creamery in fort
land, afterward connected with the in
ternal revenue office for several years,
which position he resigned recently due
to an affection of the eyes. For 20
years he served as clerk of Oregon Fir
camp and resigned recently iifter mov
ing from Portland, to Kings Valley,
where he Is now well established in the
general mercantile business. Charles
I. Jester, who has served the camp as
consul for more than a year has been
chosen as his successor.

"During the war the Order of Elks
has felt it ft privilege to place at the

"There were several thousand Oregon

were not privileged to wear the olive

the marines, have taken pride in maetinc
the responsibilities of war finance and
participating in all other patriotic move
ments." ELKS ORGANIZE DRIVE
Because of retrenchment in all ex
penditures made necessary by existing
conditions, Oregon was faced with a
large quota and without an organization
to dispose of the stamps and certificates.

Lockouts and
Walkouts Are
Things of Past
By Alfred Crldge
rpHE General Building Contractors'
association and tne Building Tj-ades
council have signed up an agreement to
hereafter confer and arbitrate instead
of striking or locking out.. Looking back
ever a series of years the economic loss
and waste has been enormous because
of lack of an agreement of this kind.
The contractors found that one union
could tie up the building industry be
cause of some misunderstanding that
should have been settled by conference.
Jurisdictional disputes between unions
also were a fruitful source of trouble.
Frank Hannon. president of the Build
ing Trades council, has been working
for several years with a view to secur
ing a treaty of peace and a league of
interests that would end jurisdictional
disputes, adjust and settle trade differ
ences and promote harmony between
the employing contractors and the work
ers. Both elements were distrustful of
one another and the process of mutual
understanding wa a slow one. fre
quently broken by disputes arising be
tween separate unions and the employ
ers. Thomas Muir. president of the
Building Contractors' association, and
O. G. "Hughson, secretary, have also
hoped for such an agreement and with
Hannon, Irwin Baldwin, vice president
of the building trades, and E. rickard,
former secretary, began anew some
months ago to build up a better feeling
and closer understanding between the
two organizations. T. G. Lowry now
is secretary of the Building Trades
council.
Each side met the other half way and
the result is an agreement about to be
published in pamphlet form which will
be generally circulated among the mem
bers of both organizations. The Con
tractors' sssociatioi: practically com
prises all the build'iig contractors of
the city and the building trades com
prises 19 unions and almost a 90 per
cent organisation of the men engaged
in the trades, some 12,000 men in all.
The Building Trades council includes
the asbestos workers. bricklayers,
bridge and structural iron workers,
carpenters, cement workers, plasterers,
building laborers, electrical workers,
draftsmen, painters, plumbers, elevator
constructors, hoisting a?id portable en
gineers, sheet metal workers, steam
iitters. glaziers, sisn painters, material
teamsters and perhaps one or two others.
The pamphlet in its preamble before
j the text of the agreement, which is
largely technical and of necessity ex
plicit, sets forth, that it is "the first
attempt to make a working agreement
between the building construction em
ployers and their employes. Its success
will depend upon the loyalty and in
herence to its provisions by all interrupt
ed parties. It is ura-ed that it be care
fully studied and its provisions honestly
complied with, for only by so doing may
the good results of cooperation of the
organizations be achieved."
The a-rrement sets forth in its first
two paragraphs "that for and in con
sideration of the continuance of har
monious relations, and maintenance of
stabilitj' in the conditions of employment
and the continuance of mutually bene
ficial personal relations, and for the
purpose of preventing strikes und lock-
i outs by facilitating just and peaceful ad
j justmeuts of disputes and grievahces
that may arise from time to time he
tween employes and employers, fhe par
ties hereunto aprce that the rules and
regulations hereinafter set forth in thi.-
agreement shall be binding on all par
ties hereto, both severally and col
lectively. "Further: That both parties hereby
agree that there shall be no strikes,
lockouts or stoppage of works without
the sanction of the joint conference
board of which parties hereto are mem
bers through their representati ve. and
that they will by all lawful means com
pel their members to comply with the
arbitration atrrcfnci'l and working rules
as jointly asreed upon jnd adopted, add
that where a member affiliated with
-it'..er of the two parties to this agree
ment refuses to do .n. they shall be
sustiended from membership in the as
sociation or union to which they belong."
The joint conference board consists
f five members from HCh organization,
elected annually. If they cannot agree
by majority vote upmi a question at is
sue, an umpire is called in to preside
! ;md give the deciding vote, if needed.
' This form of agreement has beep tried
; cut in othtr cities and found to work
j satisfactorily. It has been applied in
i other trades and has prevented many
trikes and loss of time and money. Port
land workers in the building trades have
not been as inclined to strikes as in
many other cities and it is hoped, with
good reason, that the agreement will
stick.
Th Central Labor council has been
officially informed by Frank Morrison,
secretary of the American Federation
of Labor, that it must seat delegates of
the recently organized Caulkers' union,
which it is claimed Is a dual organi
sation. No delegates from it have ap
peared, but recently the Central Labor
council declared it would not recognize it.
The legislative committee of the Cen
tral Labor council is to meet at the
office of the organization In the Stock
