He Gives Mr. Fulton's Attitude To
ward Railroad Emplayes.
The Dalles, May 2C, (To the Edi
tor.) I notice in the Oregonlan of
today an article headed "Campaign
Lie Exploded," in which extracts j
from a speech ot Judge Moreland, of
Pendleton, are given, dealing with
the charge made that Hon. .7. N. Wil
liamson, candidate for congress on
the regular republican ticket, was
opposed to the employers' liability
act in the last legislature.
In the speech refered to Judge
Moreland is quoted as having given
the history of house bill No. 80 and
showing that that bill never cam
up in the senate but was defeated in
the house.
I think the statement of Judge
Moreland as to house bill No. 80 is
true, but it is, it seems to me, only
half the truth, for there was also an
employers' liability bill presented tu
the senate. That Is, there was a sen
ate bill as well as a house bill on
that subject.
I do not know whether M. Wil
liamson over voted directly upon thu
senate bill oi not, and I have no per
sonal knowledge as to how he stood
upon that question, but I do know
that tho senate bill in favor of the
railroad emplayes was CHOKED TO
DEATH IN THE SENATE COM
MITTEE ON RAILROADS, appointed
by Senator Fulton, who was presi
dent of the senate, and of which rail
road committee Senator Drownell, of
Clackamas county was chairman.
I also know that the railroad boys
who were there representing the
measure, tried every means possible
to get the bill reported back to the
senate by the committee which Sen
ator Fulton had appointed, and I my
self, among others, went before the
senate committee to try and obtain
a favorable report upon the bill, but
it was found impossible to obtain any
report whatever, arid the bill was -finally
held back and, as I understand
it, never reported to the senate.
I also know that Senator William
son made no protest and no attempt
to secure a report by the committee,
so that the bill might come up in
the senate to be voted on; and it
seems to me that it' Mr. Williamson
and Senator Fulton had really desir
ed the passage of the bill, they were
in a position to have very easily so
cured Us report back to the senate,
and action of the senate thereon.
I write this not because I wish to
make any attack on Mr. Williamson,
but because I do not like to see men
dodge and shirk responsibility In re
lation to Important measures of this
kind, or try to claim friendship for
a measure for which they never at
tempted to turn a hand, when they
were In a position to have effective
ly done so.

Record of the Measure.
House bill No. 80 and tenate bill
No. 64 were Identical, the one a
copy of the other, and they wore en
titled, "A bill for an act regulating
railways and protecting employes."
J. M. Poorman, of Woodhurn, in-i
troduced It in tho housa, and Alex.'
Sweek, of Portland, In the senate.'
It was supported by the following
members of the legislature, who are
now candidates upon the citizen's
ticket of Multnomah county:
John Driscoll, for sheriff. I
Frank Heitkemper, for ropresenta-,
tivc.
R. D. Inman, for mayor, gave the
measure his hearty suport in the sen
ate, and has the gratitude of tho rail
way men who wore asking that the

no doubt give substantial recogni
tion of their appreciation when the

THE HARDWARE MAN
The Question is Asked, Godfrey or
Whitney for State Printer, Which?
Some one, signing himself a "Un
ion man," writes as follows to the
La Grande Chronicle:
In the din of battle for the gover
norship and local county tickets
there is one ofllce in the state ot
Oregon that has not received tho at
tention that its enormous disburse
ments of finances, merits, the state
printing ofllce being the one referred
to. First, the office costs the state
$40,000 a year. Second, there are
two candidates seeking the ofllce, J.
E. Godfrey, democrat, and J. R.
Whitney, republican.
Now let us see what the claims of
these two men are to the position
they seek.
J. E. Godfrey, of Salem, is one of
the oldest members of the typograph
ical Union in the state; has been
foreman of the state printing ofllce,
is a practical printer, a union man,
believes in living wages and a decent
number of hours as a day's work; is
thoroughly competent to run tho of
fice and handle the largo number of
men necessary to turning out the
work promptly and in a satisfactory
manner; is a plain working man, not
a politician, and his selection on the
democratic ticket is a recognition of
the Typographical Union.
J. R. Whitnoy, the republican can
didate, is merely like hundreds of
other good citizens of Oregon, the
publisher of a small country nape-,
with no experience in the manage
ment of such Institutions as that to
which he aspires, and experience is
something that costs money in a
printing office.
Do the people of Oregon want to
pay for the acquiring of this exper
ience? Whitnoy is not a member of
tho typographical union. In fact
two members of tho union were
turned down to give the position to
this country politicians, for certain
influences in tho state convention.
Mr. Whitnoy is entirely unfitted for
the position. Last, but by no means
least an effort was lately made to
form a typographical union at Al
bany, tho homo of the republican
candidate, and his paper was the
only one that opposed it.
The state printing office is a union
concern from top to bottom. Now
we ask, can any member of a union
no matter of what organization, vote
to put over members of the typo
graphical union a boss who is a rat,
a believer in long hours and small
pay? This is tho situation: Ono
a believer in union, J. E. Godfrey;
the other opposed to union, as shown
by his actions, J. R. Whitney. "Al
though ho may capitulate, owing to
election demands and to catch the
labor vote, yet his action has already
spoken louder than words. In thu
namo of organized labor you are ask
ed to vote and work for J. E. God
frey, tho democratic nominee and
upholder of unionism and a member
of ono of the greatest labor organi
zations tho world lids over seen.
Again, tho cost of . the state print
ing office, as stated, is $40,000 per
year. Too much money for the ne
cessities of tho office. This is cc
knowledgo by Mr. Godfrey, and ho
makes tho proposition to the people
to accept tho offico on a salary. Can
thoro be anything fairer? Again we
ask organized labor to stand together
and recognize ono of thoir brothers
In tho ranks.
