wiklamette mill closes
OVER 201, MEN THROWN OUT OF
EMPLOYMENT TOO MUCH

- ' ; PORTLAND, Oct, 9. The Willamette
Pulp. c Paper Company closed down
its big plant on the west side of the
river this morning, except one machine,
throwing over 200 men out of employ
ment. A rumor was current on the
streets today that the mill closed down
. on account of the extreme , lack of
water,. but Tf. R. Lang., superintendent
of the company says that it Is "because
the pempany has tow much paper on
hand in its warehouses. Just how long
the mill will be closed la not known.
Work may be resumed in, a cbuprs of
days, and then again not for three
weeks or a month. Many of the em
ployes, who nay the mill was closed .on
, account of water, do not expect to re-;
turn, to work until the rains set In,
- whlih will cause the river to rise.
The water at the falls and locks, this
year Is lower than for years, some even
say lower than ever before. Upper
river boats are running under much
difficulty, especially through -the Ore
gon City locks. ThiSsJjas made It slow
process In handling freight, and as a
consequence the warehouses are over
loaded with paper, ..O

VIBRATION
Electricity Js a force resulting from
the vibrations of ether waves. Owing
to the fact that life force Is also vibra
tory ether, the effect of electricity on
the human, bodvj Is very pronounced.
If from any cause, the vibratory rate
of the elherlca! life waves In the hu
man body Is lowered, vitality is weak
ened and sickness is the result.
An application ' of etectricity. ; bv a
skillful .physician who understands the
law governing its action Is the most
powerful healing force that can be ap
plied. It raises the vibratory rate to
Its normal condition, and health Is re
stored. As to results, read the cases

THE CONFERENCE AT THE OF

ABSOLUTELY WITHOUT; RESULT-
MANY PROMINENT MEN
ATTEND THE COUNCIL.
NEW YORK, Oct. . From what
may be considered as art Inside and
authoritative source K may be an
nounced that the conference at the of
fice of Senator Piatt was absolutely
without result, the operators refusing
to consider the political aspect of the
situation and maintaining that the po
sition was one between employer and
employe as to the management of the
properties concerned. .
New York. .Oct. Numerous con
ferences looking to the settlement of
the anthracite coal miners' strike were
held In this city today, but tonight, at
10 o'clock, no evidence had been given
to the public that any results had been
eached. Rumors of settlement nt
thick and fast, but any one of the con
ferees, when approached, almost invar
iably answered the questions concern
ing the consultation: "I have nothing
to say." . , ;;
The conferences are still going on to
night, but the impression prevails that
if any basis of settlement is reached, it
will not be announced until tomorrow,
following the meeting to be held. at
United States Senator' Piatt's, down
town office, at 1 o'clock. The story of
the day really centers about the meet
ing In the afternoon at Senator Piatt's
office. Present at this meeting were:
Governor O'Dell. Senators Quay v and
Penrose. ' of Pennsylvania; Senator
Piatt; President Ollphant, of the Dela
ware & Hudson; President Fowler, of

man Thomas, of the Erie; John Mer-kle,-
representing the Independent op
erators; David Wilcox, vice-president
and general counsel of the Delaware &
Hudson; David Lcmar and Edward
Lauterbach. ,
At the conclusion of the meeting,
none present would say what had taken
place or whether any solution to the
strike trouble had been reached. Lau
terbach replied to questions byi say
ing that appearances looked very hope
ful for a speedy settlement of the
strike.

Big Railway Combine.
Baltimore, Oct. 9. The Evening
News will publish the following: The
News Is Informed by an Inside au
thority that the -acquisition of the
Reading Railway by the Baltimore ft
Ohio is settled upon. It Is that the re
lation of the Haiti more tt Ohio to the
Reading will be somewhat similar to
the connection between' the Pennsyl
vania iRatlroad and the Baltimore &
Ohio. This Is that the B, & O. will
not own a majority of the Reading
stock, but will possess a large minor
ity and become the most powerful of
the single stockholding Interests.
The Reading, in turning control over
to the Baltimore & Ohio, Is generally
accepted to mean a community of own
ership scheme without conflicting with
the Pennsylvania, laws.
SITUATION CHANGED
STEEL MILLS OUTPUT IS MORE
THAN .ENOUGH FOR THE
i DEMANDS.
CLEVELAND, Oct. 9. The Iron
Trade Review prints the following con
cerning market conditions In Its cur
rent Issue:
The u,-fflc has muhalzed the differ-
Inir on(tUIrri of the Bessemer and
open-hearth departments of the steel
trade. Increasing competition In
sheets and wire products has led to re
ductions in price, ana similar conai
tlons in the tlnplate trade are-expected
to be met by similar action.
It Is not that consumntlon of these
prod acts has fallen off, except that In
tlnnlatA th dor i-apr1 cannlnr demand
ha Uftn the chief factor.' The Increase
of capacity beyond the needs of the
country, even In this record year, has
been accumulating Influence that re
quired to be reckoned with sooner, or
later. The cut of $5 in the price of
light sheets puts to the test the ability
of mills buying their steel in the opeo
market, to comoete with concerns that
are grounded in ore and fuel. An.
nouneement is made that one idle mill
of the American Sheet Steel Company
wilt start un next week and that one
or two others wUl probably follow. In
the wire trade the reduction is z on
nails and smooth wire and 17 on barb
win; t Tore. also, the pressure of
growing capacity Is being felt, though
the demand is quite up to expectations
for the season. The export traae wiu
be Increasingly resorted to as a safe
ty valve.
In wrought iron pip there are- evi
dences In recent concessions In prlra
that the ranks of. producers have been
fliiinar un. The week haa brought no
sign that, tha general conditions gov
erning the consmnption of iron and
steel hv changed for the worse, ex
cept such as grow In the uneasiness
felt over the effects of the anthracite
vrik- It f aonareht. that manufac
turing operations will be crippled If
the strike Is not soon sertiea, ana mat
blast furnaces and foundartes will have
plenty Of company In fuel hardships.
. Th -ek situation has not Improved.
Fouadaries are being saved from ser
ious loss by the foreign pig Iron that
la now coming freely, but many btast
furnaces are worser ft than for weeks.
In the Mahoning and Sbenango valleys
eight are reported banked this week.
The leading producer of Connellsville
coke has not yet made sales to the
blast furnaces for next year, but tne
price i expected to be close to SI at
the oven.
' . fcLDERJTIED UP
ENGINEERS HAND IN RESIGNA
TIONS .WITHOUT GIVING
AXY. REASONS.
PORTLAND Ore- Oct. 9. The en
gineers on the steamer Geo. W. Elder
handed In their .resignations to the O.
R. ft N. Company today, without as
signing any reason for the action. The
steamer was scheduled to sail for San
Francisco at 9 o'clock tonight, but the
sailing date was postponed 24 hours.
The Company declined to accept the
resignation of the men. and notified
United States Inspectors IM wards and
Fuller that the engineers had violated
the law in quitting : without giving a
good and sufficient reason. The In
spectors notified the engineers to ap
pear at their office tomorrow and show
good and sufficient reason for tbeir
action. .
'If, In the minds of the inspectors,
the engineers fail to show a good rea
son for resigning, it is In their power
to revoke the licenses of the men. The
engineers on the Elder are not mem
bers of the local lodge of engineers, the
members of. which have been' on a
strike for several weeks.
It is believed that the strike was or
dered by President-Upter of the na
tional body In sympathy with the local
engineers. It is reported that the en
gineers on the steamer Columbia and
all O. R. & N. tugs have been ordered"
out. though definite information Is not
obtainable.
