President Roos evelt at Roise City. THE LABOR SITUATION HERE. The East Oregonlan has refrained from agitating the local labor trouble for the reason that the matter, at first, was insignificant, and promised to be speedily adjusted. To advertise that Pendleton is in the midst of a labor disturbance is to turn capital, business, homeseek ers, enterprise and needy working men away from the city, and to check nil Improvements in progress. Already the Purl Bowman building, j that would have ment an expenditure i of 35,000 among Pendleton enter prises. Pendleton workinginen and Pendleton contractors, is indefinitely postponed, and this action on Mr. Bowman's part will deter others who; weri intending tn lutlltl And vchv I . . . , , I ward final success must the city suffer the loss of this ' enterprise and the workingmen suf- fer this threatened scarcity of work? Since the matter has been brought before the council aud made part of the proceedings of that body, a brief review of the situation seems in place. On Thursday, May 21, the union carpenters, working on the Fergu-son-Maloney building, refused to han dle the structural iron furnished by the Rigby-Clove foundry of this city and work on the building was stop jx?d. The reason of the carienters' refu sal to handle the iron was that the employes at the foundry were not members of a union, at the same time every man in the foundry, with two exceptions, possibly, was heartily in -favor of unions and union lalor, and "would have joined uion proper solic itation, free from coercion. The reason the had not joined was due to a lack of discussion of the subject, rather than anything else. A committee from the Carpenters' Union waited upon Messrs. Rigby and Clove immediately, and informed them that the iron would not be used until all the men in the foundry were either unionized or discharged. The Rigby-Clove people laid the mat ter before their employes and frank ly informed them of the situation, and told them to join the unions if they wished the choice was left en tirely to the employes. At the same time the committee from the Carpen ters' Union was informed that the foundry employes would not be co erced into joining the union against their will. In the conferences that were held during the strike, the committee from the Carpenters 'Union informed Mr. Rlgby that the employes of the foun dry could become members of the firm by buying stock in the concern, and that this action would at once be equal to unionizing, the boycott would be withdrawn and the matter would be finally settled, but that either this action or unionizing would be necessary to a settlement. The Rigby-Clove employes were at once given the choice of joining the union or buying a small amount of ntock and becoming members of the firm. All parties connected with the .affair were anxious for a settlement, home votes The carpenters were Idle when they could have been working every hoar. The employees ot the foundry were anxious to see it settled, as they were being made the storm center, and this oifer from the Carpenters Union was gladly accepted as a so lution of the problem. When a vote at the foundry was taken, it was found that the employes had almost unanimously elected to become members of the roncern by buying stock, and acting upon the in formation of the carpenters' commit tee, stock was sold to them and the boycott was supposed to have been at an end. Upon being informed of the action I of the foundry employes, what did the Carpenters' Union do? It's wish had been complied with by the Rlgby-CIove iwople. Its rem cdy for the trouble had been accept' ed. In all fairness, let It be said the ' lKjycott should have been declared off. ' But Instead of declaring the bo- cott off, the Rigby-Clove people were publicly declared unfair, an arrange ment was made whereby the foundry took back the iron it has cast as an accommodation for the contractors, in order that the carpenters might return to work, and the tide of lm- piovement roll on. I This boycott is still on. The men in the Rigby-Clove foundry would j not now join a union under any cir cumstances, owing to the attempted ccercion of them by members of the unions and the council Is now asked I to refuse to buy Pendleton Iron with , which to improve Pendleton, j The East Oregonian has refused 1 to publish at least a half dozen letters from men who claimed to be niem- Lers of the canienters' union, deplor ing in the most emphatic terms the action of the union. The tenor of these communications were that th? p.atter was too hastily disposed of. Hiat the action was a direct Injury i to the carpenters as well as the city and that tt would finally result iu the failure of the unions to secure any recognition in the city. The unions and the Rigby-Clove lieople are both Pendleton institu tions. They are both supiorted by the business transacted in the city and the enterprise of the prosperous county. Neither should suffer a check In their well-deserved progress to- TOM JOHNSON'S WAY. A Good Beginning HORRIBLY AFFLICTED WITH BOILS.

Is It possible that one-third of the citizens of the First congressional district of Oregon have so far lost interest In citizenship, that they no longer vote? Has it come to a time at which the voter who bears the burdens of gov ernment takes no interest in its wel fare? Not only was this striking example of inactive citizenship shown in the congressional election last Monday, but the same spirit prevails all over the stale. At the sewer bond election in Pendleton last winter and at the school bond election this spring, only .a fraction of those Interested went to the polls. At Lewiston, Idaho, last week. votes were cast In a school bond elec tion, where 400 were expected. Re ports from every section of the West show the same ajMithy. This stay-at-home citizenship will ruin the conntry. It will allow the reins of government to slip from the handB of the people Into the hands of wily iKiIiticians who are on the nlert for such opiortunitieK. It Is better to vote wrong through mistaken judgment, than not to vote at all. It Is better to go to the polls and waste your vote by supporting a los ing cause than to stay at home and swell the tide of sluthtulncss. Citi zenship Is the emblem of individual activity. It If the distinguishing mark of the free man and if nut ex ercised, and used to the glory of the government and the stute, it might as well be removed. The vote Iu the First congressional district last Monday did not repre sent two-thirds of the voting strength of the district. True, there was but one office to All aud no strictly local Usues to lend ginger to the cam paign, yet it was an election iu which a representative of the state in the national councils was to be chosen, and that Is sufficient to invite every citizen to exercise the franchise.

The president of the Western Fed eration of Miners, In his auuress be fore the convention of mat organiza tion, held at Denver this week, de nounced John Mitchell for his notion in consenting to submit to arbitration the differences between the anthra cite coal workers and the operators. What else could ..Ir. M'tchell. sensi bly and justly, have done? Should he have bull-heudedly pro longed a strike lie knew was causing hardship and suffering to the men he represented, as well as to the gen eral public, or, !y aimtniliuu tlio weaon of civilization endeavor to end the strife? Mitchell did 'he right thing the only thing in fact, he could have done, without disrupting his or ganization. Public sympathy was with him, is with him now. and will continue to be with him while he pur sues the same level-headed course he has In the past. San Francisco Star.
