'Although Salem has grown to be What
Is called a. strictly' union '-toyrnf' atmost

tween tbek employer and the employer

and employe, have been' . so ' satlsfae
toHly adjusted, that the best of har

has been approached, ' to the credit of
the leaders of the labor organisations,
the laborers themselves and ,the em
ployers, who have shown a disposition
to meet all questions fairly and square
ly, did all in tfietr power to arrive at an
agreeable understanding.' " J. " . ;
V Yesterday, however, a little, trouble
arose at the city hall as. a result of
which several workmen who had. been
employed to make a number of , .I'm
provements upon the , Interior jof the
building, walked out because one of the
men employed .upon the. Job waa. not
afailated . with, the union which .the
character of his work represented, f
T. If. Gilbert, the painter" "had a force
of Ave men employed under him to do
th painting on the Job. and.alT of these
refused.ta go to work because "William
Berkner. the former president of the
Plumbers. Union.' had. been engaged as
carpenter and because the city ao-

IS NOT THE LEAST - APPREHEN
SIVE OF DANGER TO FRUIT
MECHANICS : AT WORK PUT
TING MACHINERY : INTO SHAPE
PLANS ARE INDEFINITE.
i CFrom Saturday's Daily.)
Manager G. W. Holcomb, of the Sa
lem Canning Company, came up from
Portland' yesterday and Is looking over
the field to view the prospects for this
season's run of the canning factory: ,
, "For this time, of the -year, although
there Is. no telling what may happen
within the next ' month,; nor week for
that matter, I never saw better pros
pects than now present themselves for
a large and excellent quality of crop
for all varieties of fruits, he remark
ed, while in ' conversation with ; a
Statesman reporter, ; "and X look for
ward to a big run this season. . .
, "Of course, as I Just mentioned,
some unforseen misfortune may befall
the trees, bushes or, blossoms which
might blight the crop very materially,
but, so far, every variety, from the
cherries and small fruits, to the apples
and pears. Is coming on splendidly, and
although somewhat , late at present,
such balmy, summer weather as " "we
are now experiencing. and he empha
sised his remarks- by a sweeping ges
ture heavenward, while exhaling a full
breath' of the pure, sweet atmosphere,
"everything will nourish and the cool
weather of the' early 1 part , of 1 this
month, which is unusual for' Oregon,
and especially the Willamette valley,
wUl be quite made m for 'and entirely
forgotten when,: we 'reap the golden
harvest. - - ' ;
"So far .as I -have- been able to Judge
from what I have seen and the reports
I have received since I have, been i In
Salem. I do not think anyone has any
cause for alarm for, while the danger
from frosts, and a siege of cold rain
is not past, the buds are . gaining
strength, the fruit T is forming .end
growing, and It will take a pretty se
vere cold snap or spell of bad wenther
to have much effect upon the fruit. S
"Yes, I do hear some talk about the
sparrow plucking cherry' buds . and
blossoms, but ' then, shucks, with
an impatient , wove of his hand a. he
shifted his "Intgridad" to the opposite
corner of his. mouth and puffed vlgorf
busly to' keep It a.-goln,: "if yOii will
only stop to 'think a little bit,' you win
remember .that; there 'is always, some
little i whine , oft this, eort, early, in the
season, when the, grower, has, nothing
to do but sit' upon his, back stoop and
speculate on1' the' probable ''6utcomeW

shower and ia'ppens' to twit 'a blossom
or' twbV by way of expressing hl',ekr
ultatldh- over; the prospects of a- long
and bountiful 'summer, and this farmer
sits there and imagines ; that,- every
other one of this little sparrow's mil
lion of. cousins are engaged In the same
pastime and upon his premises Just
because he hears their joyful" twltterj
Ing. I tell you all ' the damage they
will do will not amount to that," and
he snapped his finger disgustedly and
removed his cigar from his mouth to
spit spitefully at a. busy little bee
that was dipping' the honey, from 'a
fruit blossom' contentedly . while, at
the same time, he was gathering pollen
from that fragrant blossom to carry to
another, and thus do his important
part toward aiding Mother Nature in
her work of making Oregon famous
through the; excellence and extent of
the fruit industry. : He came so close
to his mark that the little bee became
frightened and took his flight and thep
Mr. Holcomb was sorry, for his oourt
tenance assumed a look of repentance,
as he realized what he had done and.
when the little' bee : had vanished, Mf.
Holcomb flecked the ashes from his ci
gar, placed it in his mouth and rej
sumed; , I ,W- ;j"
Na These little sparrows are the
best friends the farmer has, and the
damage they wilt do. If any, will not
amount to anything, nor Injure him'- In
the leasL --r :-., hi.
"Oh, certainly, we are going to op
erate the factory this year, but as to
how early we will begin or the extent
of the run, it Is Impossible to say , at
present,' for ; that depends upon the
crop conditions entirely. We have had
a mechanic at work for about a month
getting things In shape about the fac
tory, and everything will be In readi
ness when the time to start arrives.
"No, we do not contemplate making
any extensive Improvements this year
or, additions to our machinery equip
ment, for I think we are well enough
equipped to ; meet ' the demands " this
year, and the force we will employ wtll
also depend upon ! the extent of "the
crop. We will :probably, employ- as
many,; if not more, hands than we did
last year.-,.....-. v:;
T have been making an effort to get
the' farmers in this vicinity-interested
In the growing of the best canning va
rieties of small fruits such as rasp
berries and blackberries, and I hope
Uhey will take the matter up more ex
tensively as there Is good profit la tt
and I - am 'certain that they would bear
proliflcaily tn the valley, because-this
matter is not an experiment; It Is an
established and well-known fact.. Bo
far. I ' have been very successful j, In
the introduction -of these varieties -of
fruits. . having induced several of. the
growers to put in a few acres each,
and. although the crop win not amount
to much this yeari it will be quite n
item next year, and from that time on.
I; have, about forty ; acre of - berries
contracted this year and anticipate
good run. ' " ' . ". !. ; . -,

Mr. Holcomb said ;he.: would 'remain

war has been declared by shippers en

a cut in the rates on merchandise car

The. prevailing rate hitherto has been
$2 a ton. and the vessels of the Dollar
Line will hereafter carry freight to the
northern port for SI a ton. The reason
given for the cut In rates is that rival
firms are reducing rates on the quiet.
The companies now having steamers
