Entered at Pendleton lMHtoffice as seccond'
clam matter-
As we progress we ought to
make our surroundings, satisfac
tory to the senses. And you here
who live out in the great plains
and in sight ot the mountains
and of the rapid rivers, around
whom nature is so beautiful, it
behooves you especially to see
that the handiwork of man adds
to and does not mar the work ot
nature. I congratulate you up
on this tree-bonered city of
yours and upon the pleasure
nnd, therefore, the good that
must come with pleasure, given
to all who come within your lim
its and pee It. 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

The splendid measure of his III suc
cess? Joseph Dana Miller.
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.
Drifting la the curse of the times.
Too many iieoplc drift. They follow
the tide out or In, up or down, no mat
ter which way it goes. Tho self-pro-lelllng,
self-anim'atlng force of citi
zenship is losing Us capacity just In

JOHN MITCHELL WAS RIGHT.
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.

When is a cough more
than a cough ?
When it's a settled cold.
When it hangs on in spite of
all you can do. Cough mix
tures won't cure it because
they are merely for a cough,
and this is something more
Scott's Emulsion cures the
cough because it cures the
something more. It heals
