LET ARBITRATION BE THE WATCH
' Thus far, the course counseled by the Journal moderatlon-ha been pursued. The result had
beeo that the material interests of the City have been conserved and friendly relations preserved be
tween the employing and the employed classes. - ,
" s Another strike is on. Again let moderation rule, and let that moderation manifest itself In the
form of arbitration.
Arbitration is recognized as the one solution ior difficulties between those who represent the
, sturdy workers and those who represent the possession of accumulated capital. In many Instances) of
; late it has operated to avert troubles. The civic federation, formed in New York city and composed of
distinguished men in business, professional, philanthropic and religious life, together with men selected
- from the national councils of the laboring men, has already been instrumental in adjusting difficulties
arising between the mine owners and the mine workers. That civic federation is recognized by all
thoughtful men as trendlng'in the right direction. '
" J- The principle involved in that organization should find application In Portland here and new.
?' ; The journal has no fear that aught but fairness will mark the deliberations of those concerned in
this controversy ; but it feels justified in suggesting, and even urging, upon the parties to this discus-
- slon, and particularly to their leaders, that they exercise the spirit of mutual concession which alone can
successfully and satisfactorily terminate labor difficulties. ,.

THE OTHER SIDE.
'The sawmills do not come Into corope
titlon with the planing mills, and any
sawmill man will tell you so. The saw
mills are no? equipped with the proper
kind of machinery to do the fine work
turned out by the planing mills. .The for
mer mills do rough' work nearly alto
gether, and all the finished produot con
talned In a residence or other building
of any Importance comes from the plan
ing mills.
"Their argument that they cannot com
pete with the sawmills working 10 hours
and they being obliged to work but nine
hours la also weak and will not stand
inspection. A few years ago they were
working but 10 hours, and competed with
the sawmills without any trouble when
the latter were working 11 hours. They
operated their mills then successfully,
and can do so again, by working an
hour leas than their so-called com.
petltors."
. WAGE QUESTION.
A planing mill employe said:
"The mm owners never did, aa they
allege, offer their union employes an In
crease of cents per -day prior to the
strike. They did, however, offer such an
Increase to three or four, of the employes
In each . mill, hoping thereby to retain
some of their best workmen and at the
same time create dlsoord among sbme of
their men and prevent the strike coming
to an issue. Not over I per cent of the
men were offered a 25-cent increase in
their wages.
"Ther also exaggerate when they say
that all tha mills on Puget Sound and In
California are working 10 hours a day.
Some of tha largest mills in each of those
places are working but nine hours a day.
and In Denver they work but eight
hours."
AT THE MILLS.
Twelve or U of the . union aash and
door men at Fisher, Thorsen & Co. 'a
mill went out this morning In compli
ance with the call for a general strike.
One of the managers at that house said:
It is probably best for there to be a
general tie-up of the Industrie for a
short time in order to get this thing set
tled aa quickly as possible. Our sup
plies frdm the planing mills have keen
practically shut off for some time. I be
lieve In unions and employ union help,
but don't care to express myself on the
situation. I nly hope that some means
win be discovered to settle the difficulty
soon.
SUPPLY HOUSES AFFECTED.
P. E. Beach of the firm of Beach & Co.,
manager of the large supply house on
First street, said:
'Our business Is practically tied up.
Paints and glass are our specialty, and
none of these goods can be sent out until
the strike Is settled. If the unions In

la the opinion of Deputy City Attorney
Ralph H. Duniway, rendered today, and
read by Councilman Masters, In the City
Council; the City of Portland can not levy
a 2-mlH tax to raise money for the Lewis
& Clark Fair. The opinion follows:
Portland. Or,. May 21, 1902.
To the Honorable Maybr and Common
Council, of the City of Portland, Or,
Gentlemen Complying with your re
quest for an opinion upon the proposed
ordinance to earry Into effect ''An aot to
authorise the City of Portland to appro
priate money for 'tbi Oriental Fair to be
Held at the City of Pqrtland 'during1 the
year 1905," I 'am ot the opinion that the
aame ought not to be passed for the rea
son that said act of the Legislature is In
violation of Article XL Section 8. of the
Conatltution of the Jtata jf Oregon, aad
the elementary principles of the law of
taxation In that said aot undertakes to

AND MILL OWNER
sistance of the trainmen I don't see how
they can sucoeed. The mills involved
have all sorts of outalde orders to fill,
and If they can secure nonunion men and
the trains carry their product, thla la lia
ble to be a long drawn out affair. There
are not enough mills here to any mora
than do the work of the city. Both aides
are strong and independent. The mills
are relying upon their . great outside
trade."
A. V. Biles of Fuller & Co. said:
"The ahutdown affects us Very mate
rially and I would like to aee the matter
arbitrated at once. The mills have more
outside orders than they can fill,, and If
they hold out It looks as though thy
would win."
A prominent architect stated: "If the
mills hold out. there Is no question at
all but that the strike will continue
throughout the entire season. The unions
will never give up, and If work5 resumes
any way soon, the mil. owners wilt' be
forced to make concessions." ,
BUILDINO STOPPED.
It Is estimated that work was suspend
ed today on fully 200 buildings. Among
the most Important of these might be
mentioned:
The Falling. Third and Morrison; the
Welnhardt, fourth and Alder: the Law
rence Leather Company's, First and Oak;
alz data for SUverfleld, 'i welfjth and Co

Third and Salmon: four fiats, Eighteenth
and Gllsan: alx flats. Eighteenth and
White; eight flats. Park and' Market;
laundry building. Third and Columbia.
The executive board of the Building
Trades Council went into session early
this morning and did not adjourn until
thla afternoon. Relative to- the matter
Harry Ourr, President of the Federated
Trades Council, said:
"Not much business waa transacted at
the session. This is the first day of the
strike, and It will take some little time to
get matters Into fair running shape. We
gAve several permits to some of the men
this morning, allowing them to finish up
certain work that ought to be done to
guarantee the safety of the public. If
some of the work was left in its present
unfinished state the Uvea of people trav

"I look for no material change In the
situation before Friday night At that
time the Federated Trades Council will
meet, and It Is now certain that If the
strike Is not ended before that time that
other unions will be called out."
The strike is the all-absorbing topic on
the streets today. It Is the biggest strike
that ever occurred on the Pacific Coast
outside of San Francisco, and everyone Is
vitally Interested in its outcome. Over
2,000 grlm-'vlsaged and determined-looking
men are promenading the various thor
oughfares, and all seem to realise that
they are on the verge of a death struggle
between capital and labor. In Portland.
The public la looking anxjously and In
terestedly on, wondering what the out

tion.
Such legislation -la illegal, unconstitu
tional and void.
My attention was called to this matter
by the announcement In the papers that
this ordinance was to be presented by Mr.
W. D. Fenton, and J called upon Mr. Fen-
ton thla morning and suggested to him
that the act was uriconstltutlonat I have
looked the matter up and find that It la
clearly unconstitutional.
The City of Portland can and-wlll aid
the fair. Such aid must be given -accord
ing to law; not in violation of law. There
will be no lose of time by the Common
Council taking thla action. Everybody is
m ravor or the fair and city aid for the
same. By this act the tax would not be
levied until next year. This Winter the
Legislature will have constitutional leg

special tax to be disbursed by city officers
for municipal purposes so as tb aid In

BRIDGE WORK
NOTINTERUPTED
The repair work on the east approach
ef the) Madison-street bridge waa not dis
continued this morning on account of the
strike. The nature of the work is' such
that it would be dangerous to Ufa and
limb to allow tha half-completed Improve
ment to stop. The underpinning la old
and la likely to give away where the
repair work jolna on to It, The leaden in
the strike are aware ot this and are
reasonable. County Commissioner .Wil
liam Showers said thla morning that he
ajpprehended no. difficulty in aeouriug the
completion of tha Job already commenced
because ot the work la band being ot a
public nature and very much needed.

Shortly after Edward H. Harrtman and
those who accompanied him to Astoria
yesterday returned to Portland last
night, he stated a fact that the publlo
will be pleased to learn. He said that It
waa his tntentioh at aa ear'y a date aa
possible to reduce the fares' on the Ore
gon lines of the Southern Paclfio aystem
to the uniform basis ot I oenta per mile.
The Northern Paciflc, tne Great North
ern and the O. It. & N. Company have
been working under thia schedule for a
long time. -
Inv regard , to the L.ewlston-R!paria
branch, Mr. Harrtman said that the
agreement haa already been made by
which the O. R. & N- Company and the
Northern Pacific will Jointly uae the line
from Lewlston to Waliula. Thia throws
open the Clearwater valley to the for
mer line.
Presldent . Harrtman very wisely ad
vises that Portland interests unite in the
effort to bring matters about so that the
bar at the mouth of the Columbia shall
be reduced and so that the largest ahlps
may paaa unhampered to thia oity.
