Granting Coos Bay to bo ao kood n harbor ns it is really known to be, nnd thu beat botvTceu San Froneitco nnd Pupil Sound, nnil hen ouo road starts 11 hero othnru will follow. If thu Orrnt Central come, it will not bo alloncd to Iiavo a monopoly ot ono of tho best bar bora on tl.o Pacific Const. It tho Eanta Fo como, ns it teems likely to do, tho northern roads will push in. And if tho others come, tho couthcrn Pacific v. lit not stay nwny. Tho Bay is naturally in tho territory of the 8. P., but that road has been con tent with tho situation, which gave it n cinch on all tho country along its. Cali fornia dud Oregon lino. It is known that the Great Central proposition hat boon causing theS. P. much anxiety, and with csod rcaton. Much pressure has been brought to bear on Major Kinney to induce him to switch hit interests to tho S. P., but fortunate ly for Coos Bay, without effect, The fight in that quarter is not ever yot, and if tho S. P. and Portland influences could succeed in defeating all plans for row o Coo tho JFr noM be up so far as our over getting a railroad is concerned. But fortunately, better things nro in store for Of , and tbey are not coingto bo many years in materialiting. TRYING TO SWEEP BACK THE SEA. Tho sticking point in the Portland etriko teems to bo that the employers do not want to deal with the onions. It is not that the unions are demanding exorbitant wages, or any thins in any way unreasonable, to. far os reported. The true inwardness of tho proposition is the childish attempt on tbe part of the employers to break np unionism. It scorns almost incredible that men gifted with tense enough to manage any kind of a business should be so woefully anablo to interpret the signs of tbi times, so ignorant of what is going or around them. Tbe capitalist, great or small, who dreams that unionism can be crashed oat among the toilers is to be pitied for tbe incomplete development of hit brain. The fact that the workers have as much moral right to combine as have tbe employers, may be left out of the reckoning, for moral right has little con eederation from men when they have the power to spueeze their fellows. The fact is that working men bare learned too much of tbe power of organization to ever relinquish their one defense against the greed of their employers. Combination, co-operatoln has come to stay. It Is the spirit of the ago and no man or possible combanatin'of men, neither church nor state can stay its progress. Anti-merger decisions and anti-union fights may slightly retard tbe progress of the industrial revolu tion, but can. not stop it,. J. P. Mor gan is doing a greater work for human ity today than any other man living. y THE CARPENTERS -TIE yP. The labor trouole in Portland is as suming a much more important aspect than1 was it first anticipated and by the wet of the lumber dealers In refusing to sell lumber until the strike U set(lSdr -it has become a snore desperate proposi tion, than was tjxpected even by the tniH men themwlyw, 'whom it fa thought' acted in good faith, supposing that tbe trouble would speedily adjusted it'sty. Bat it seems this is not tbe case ad tjie carpenters and painters are not HA H- mostolaydowa and be walkedV) Md tktycUta'ihtIr'd9dd U just. It docs teem that If iiuutur carpenters are willing to pay tho raieo risked (or they could easily retrain from Urine men whom they know tiro not compe tent workmen. If a guod nvorago work mau is wortli tho price askod by tho union why should they suffer by tho in forlor workman? It is a poor ruio that will not work both ways. Portland will botho princlplo sufferer by tho stril.o. Ths mill men havo acted unwisely in iodising to soil lumber until tho strike is settled nnd havo 110 bottur right to do to thau tho coal batrona had to refuse to tell coal until tho etriko was called, off. Itii said that tho Pacific coast pays n lower prlco for enrpenturs than any other part of tho country, taking nil things into consideration. STRONG AND WEAK POINTS (Capital Journal) Iho strongest point in favor of Hor-' jpann will be tho record in rccuring '"rgo appropriations for his district. In tho last analysis this record will stand him in hand with tho pooplo of all parties. Tho strongest point nbout Mr.Resmcs tho Democratic caudidato, is tho fact that ho has no record and no legislative experience that can bo attanked, nnd that bo is the late Tom Tongue's son-in-law, Tho weak point about Roames is that there is not a Domocratc county in tbt districtand if elected this year ho would be retired next year nnd tho district would bo practically unrepresented.
