LABOR UNIONS
ARE AROUSED
They Are Investigating a Serious
Charge Against a Local Paper.
The Carpenters' Union held an inter
esting meeting last night.
Many of the members were consider
ably wrought up over the charge that a
local newspaper Is using Its columns In
a stealthy manner to Injure organised
labor in this city.
According to the report the mailing
edition, wnich has no circulation locally,
is teeming with advertisements for "all
kinds of unskilled and skilled laborers
to come to Portland, where they can get
Immediate employment" Before the edi
tion IS prepared for local circulation. It is
charged, these advertisements are re
moved, the Intention being to flood the
city with workingmen unbeknown to or
ganized labor. The mailing edition goes,
of course, to other towns in the state
and Eastern cities, and the harm that
such advertisements can do is easily
apparent to all.
A committee was appointed at last
night's meeting to Investigate the matter
today and ascertain whether or not there
Is any truth In the report. If It Is
found to be correct tne chances are very
good that labor unions will take some
Immediate action to put a curb on such
proceedings. They argue that there are
more men in the city now than can get
employment, and that if a local paper
baa thrown open Its oolumns to some em
ployers' association, It Is done with the
evident Intention of trying to disrupt the
labor unions of the city.
The matter was first brought to the at
tention of the Carpenters Union by a
circular letter which that body received
from the Los Angeles Labor Council.
RELICS OF WAR.
Zeb Davis . 6f this place has a curio
that is worthy of special mention. . A few
days ago a gentleman from the East
presented Mr. Davis with a grapeshot
that had seen service In the battle Pea
Ridge. After the battle this shot was
cut out of a beech tree. Still clinging
to)lt are particles of wood that give the
ball an appearance of roughness resem
bling that of a walnut. It Is slightly
larger than a good sized walnut. The
particles of wood that adhere to the
shot appear to be petrified. It is a relic
of the Civil War that Is well worth some
trouble to see. The party who presented
thia curio to Mr. Davis presented a
number of like souvenirs to Logan Hays
of this city.

Superintendent J. D. Lee, of the Oregon
penitentiary, yesterday filed hla report in
the State Department, for the quarter
This letter was to the effect that the Los
Angeles Times Is openly engaging in a
warfare against labor unions, sending ad
vertising matter all over the East in
ducing workingmen to come there. The
letter also stated that other Coast pa
pers were engaged In similar work. Upon
learning this several of the " members
present at last night's meeting volun
teered the Information that one of the
daily papers published In Portland was
among the ones taat the circular had
reference to, although it was not doing
It openly. Then they explained Its
methods of doing business along this
line. When the local edition was being
prepared for circulation. It Said, the ob
jectionablekadvertisements were removed.
The announcement caused a sensation,
and it was decided to inquire closely Into
the matter, and a committee was ap
pointed for the purpose. Letters will be
forwarded to labor unions In the East,
and they will be requested to secure
copies of the local newspaper in question,
and forward them here with as little de
lay as possible. If the report is false
they wish to know it; if it Is true they
also wish to be made acquainted with
the fact, so that they can take proper
action regarding It.
L It has long been known by the unions
here that the Los Ange.es Times Is one
of their most pronounced and bitter en
emies, but when It was Intimated that a
dally was being published In their very
midst that was doing all It could to in
jure their cause, it was like throwing a
bomb Into, their ranks. Nothing could
have surprised them more than the an
nouncement. ;'
tins price firms were making money
and paid their teamsters $2 per day.
When Mr. Ban field secured control he
reduced wages to $1.80. and raised tne
price of slabwood to 11.75, then $2, $2.25
and $2.50, and some people have had to
pay $2.75 for this fuel If they did not
kick on the price. i will be noticed that
the price went up little by little, so that
the consumers would not complain. Mr.
Bitfield advanced the price of wood the
last time on the strength of his sign
ing an agreement with the Sand & Fuel
Teamsters to pay weekly and at a rate
of $2.25 per day. This agreement was
Signed in the early part of May, but the
agreement was not to go Into effect until
June 1. Why was the price of wood ad
vanced 25 cents per load on May 15?

PECULIAR APPETITE OF
A GIRL IN OMAHA
OMAHA, Neb., July 17. The wise man who remarked that there Is
no accounting- for tastes may have had In mind a certain individual in the
Third Ward of Omaha. This person Is Lillian Porter, a handsome col- -f
ored girl who lives at Twelfth and Davenport streets and who Is known
among her acquaintances as "the woman who eats paper."
' Unlike the sword swallower or the glass eater. Miss Porter's perform- -
ance is genuine. Eating paper has become a habit with her and she says -f
he likes It.
Miss Porter is a recognized belle among' the colored population of Oma- -f
ha and her family, who live In Lincoln, are prominent figures In the col-
ored society of that city. Apparently she does not suffer from her diet of
paper as she is one of the prettiest girls in the Third Ward. -f
When a reporter called at Miss Porter's home last Tuesday he was in-
formed that she was not at home. Before he left, however, he saw her ap-
preaching, carrying a tablet of writing paper.
"Oh, yes, I eat paper," she said In answer to the scribe's query. "See -
here," she continued, as she held up the tablet. "1 don't get that to write
on, but to eat. It's glazed writing paper I like that the best. ' You will -f
notice that it Is unruled. I don't like to eat the Ink. -f
"I started to eat paper when I was a little girl. I chew it Just as you 't
would chewing gum. It has no effect on a person as does a drug, but 1
have become used to eating it so tint It has become a habit with me. -f
"I like the thick glazed writing paper the best, as there Is more In -f
It to chew. I eat an ordinary b-cent pad of paper In two or three days.
If I haven't the money I eat a newspaper instead."
Miss Porter here exhibited several copies of Omaha dallies. As far as -f
the reading matter was -concerned the paper was Intact, but the plain
border which contained no printing had disappeared absolutely and the f
papers looked as though mice instead of a human being had gnawed off '
the edges. ' . i
If it were not so expensive the young woman said that she woufd" pre-
fer to eat a fine grade of paper, such as invitations are printed upon, but
as her Income la limited, she Is forced to content herselT with an ordinary
quality of paper. v" .
Miss Porter Is not at all backward in speaking of her peculiar appe-
tlte, but she says she Is not seeking notoriety on. the subject. -f
"I don't see why anybody else should care what I eat," said. she. "If
I want to eat paper, It's my business. I never ask any one else what -4
he eats."'. -
Recently a party of Miss Porter's friends thought to play a Joke upon
her and sent her a large package, of paper for a birthday present. The par
cel. contained pieces of heavy burlap and tar paper labeled "For break- -
fast," various other grades "For dinner," and tlssde paper marked "For -4-
desert."

Something About Pianos That
Even Tracy Can Appreciate
A Few Tips for Purchasers.
Here is a picture of Tracy a ,
the piano.
It may flatter him a little but
it will do.
You see he is still up to his old
tricks. - 1
He projects little boys from tho
posse and flatters young: ladies.
Now he is doing the human race
a kindness by preventing: anyone .
from playing a bad piano.
If Tracy dosen't know that this
piano did NOT come from Eilers
Piano House it's because he's "'
been locked up so long.
But every person acquainted
with pianos would know it sim
ply because we sell only good .
pianos.
