Limiting the Amount of Days Work

An honest, we'll meaning clergyman talked the other day on labor unions, and wandered out of his depth. As a rule, clergymen, having studied the teachings of Christ, are aware that they ought to be on the side of the workingman. Hence the strongest sup porters of the union are found among the clergy.
 The mistake of the clergyman whom we mentioned is discussed here, be- cause it is often made by well mean ing. but narrow minded, citizens.
 He spoke of "the custom union labor has of limiting days work and other dishonest practices"
 By limiting a days work the rev erend gentleman referred to the rule existing in certain unions Hating the maximum days labor.
 That rule does exist. and sometimes undoubtedly. labor union men not being angels or cherubim, the rule may be pushed to extremes.
 But on the whole the rule is neces- sarv and it works for good.
 We shall tell this clergyman and other citizens one special reason for limiting the days work.
 The contractors want to make all the money they can. When the unions forced them into recognition of certain hours of labor as constituting a days work, that was looked upon as dis honest practice. It was felt in the old days that a workman should be only too glad to get out of bed at daybreak and work until dark. Now. even the sturidest and. most selfish have come i fo recognize limited hours as a feature l of American industry. And the en- : lightened gladly admit that fha ganzz

Labor Day Echoes.

The Lithuanian Buffers and Polish ers union has the advantage over other locals in one respect-in having band of their own. They presented fine appearance and received much applause all along the line.
 It wouldn't have been bad idea to have taken a straw ballot from the men in line and avoided the expense Of the primaries. Perhaps some of the candidates wouldn't have agreed, though. The ssprinters devi1'' appeared to have more acquaintances than any man in the parade. Hello, Tommy "See Bolger,'' and other similar remarks were heard from start to finish.
 Should President Roosevelt ever wish to organize another company of
 ..Rough Riders it would pay him to visit Waterbury. Those who appeared on Monday could give his famous
 ''broncho busters" cards and spades.
 "One of the best vaudeville enter tainments ever seen in Waterbury" :" was the verdict of all who attended the
 vaudeville entertainment at the audi torium on Monday night. It was to be expected, as they were all union l people.
 The bartenders were certainly '@It'' with big l.
 The Stage Employees union caused | much jealousy among others in the | line. While the majority were perspir- l ing over the route the scene shifters, in their white suits, were sitting in 1 their handsome float in easy chairs, arms folded serenely happy and appar- ently entirely oblivious of the fact that they would have to get hustle on to
 prepare the stages for the various en- tertainments as soon as ranks were 1 broken. If anybody doubts that Waterbury 1 has population of 10000 they should
 have passed over the line of march. l Who ever saw three lawyers in. a Labor day parade before?

Salem, Or, Sept. 22.-The State
Boad of Portage Railway Commits
sionefs held meeting today and
formerly directed the attorney gem
eral to begin proceedings against
the u. R. & N. Co. to condemn
right of way for the portage road
over portion of that company,s
right of way near Celilo. Engineer
A. E. Hammond is here, and will
assist the attorney-general by furn-
ishing the necessary data regarding
the proposed location on the road.
Mr.. Hammond's maps show that
the portage road will encroach upon
the O. R. & Ms right Of way for
about mile, but it's nearest ap-
proach to the company's tract is 35
feet, and that for only short dis
tance. Mr.. Hammond informed
the board that while he<was at the
irrigation congress he told some of
the Eastern Oregon psopla that if
the cost of securing rigit s.f way
should be too great, TN. portage
road project might have 10 h. aban.
doned for want of a suM .lent APP
preparation.
He was told that the Eastern Or
egon people are so anxious to have
the road built that they would be
willing to raise $50, 900 or more if
necessary, in order to secure the
construction of the road ans the
consequent reduction in freight
rates.

The Dalles, Sspt. 22,- A great
deal of excitement prevailed
around The Dalles land Office be-
ginning Sunday, when about 40
men and women were holding the
fort at the land Office so as to be
the first to enter the Office when
the big front door opened on Mon
day morning. The cause of the
rush was fractions of four town
ships Of timber land being open
for filing. These townships are To-
Gated in different parts OF Wasco
and Crook counties and these men
and women had found that two
men representing an Eastern syndi-
cate were here to file on the land
themselves. and having script and
cash to take up the entire tract.
All the parties stayed near the
land Office all Sunday and Sunday
night and had their meals carried
to them and Dick Goeman, the
local real estate man. was busy all
night making out filing papers.
When the door of the land office
was open Monday morning the
would. be flers spotted one of the
syndicate men, and held him so
the settlers could file, but syndi-
cate man No. slid in ahead and
did the work for his syndicate,
shutting out the 40 men and
women. 1t is not yet determined
what the ruling of the land Office
will be.
