idea tnny not be to wlhl n drearu as
somo ot us may imnglno.
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.
