POWER SITES TAKEN.
Much Speculation as to Who IS Getting
Valuable Waterfalls on River.

EUGENE, Ore. June l5.-Emery G.
Dye, young electrical engineer of Ore
gon City, said to represent either the
Willamette Valley Traction Company
or the United Railways Company has
fled on five different power sites on the
Mckenzie River. The first one is about
25 miles east of Eugene and the one
farthest up the river is 45 miles from
here. 1t is said that $4,000 horsepower
can be developed at all of these sites
combined.
Young Dye admits that he is employ
ed by one of the companies mentioned.
but will not state which.
It is thought here that the water pow
er will be used for the manufacture Of
electricity for the operation of an elec.
tric railway which is intended to be
built up the Mckenzie to the Blue River
mines. Many think it is the Willamette
Valley Company, as it has expressed its
intention of building to the mines, and
as the United Railways Company has
never even figured on coming south as
far as Eugene so far as announced.

NEW YORK. June l5,- Action was
taken at a meeting yesterday by the
five associations in the Building Trades

terror Decorators, and Cabinet Makers
Association, the Association of Manu-

of Carpenters on the question of accept
ing the decision of Judge Gaynor in the
case of Brooklyn carpenters who are on
strike against members of the Employ
ers' Association. They asked an advance
from 81 to $3.50 day. Justice Gaynor
decided that the workmen were in the
wrong. The carpenters voted more than
three to one against acceptance of the
decision. The five trades association of
employers then decided to act at once.
Lewis Harding, president of the Mas
ter Carpenters Association said the
master carpenters would man contracts
with any competent men who would
work on Monday. 1--WE have no deal
ings with the Brotherhood of Carpen-

House Does Not Wholly Approve
Second Minority Report.
FOR BEvERlDGE AMENDMENT
House Members Do Not Agree With
Review Proposition and Civil
Service Amendment as in
First Report.

WASHINGTON, June l5.-A second
minority report of the house committee
providing for the Beveridge amendment
provision and signed by Haughen and
Davis was filed in the house before ad-
journment today. Fault is found with
the review proposition and the civil
service amendment as in the first min
ority report. Messrs. Haughen and
Davis believe the government should
pay the cost of inspection, antemortem
and post-mortem. They believe the
packers should assume the cost of such
further inspection, sanitary, ETC., as
may be necessary to insure clean and
healthful canned products. The report
suggests an initial appropriation of
three millions to insure inspection and
that the packers be assessed fee to
cover each carcass after the amount is
determined by the secretary of agricul-
ture.

Disagreement Between Insurance

Settlement.
OAKLAND, June l5.-The Examine

OAKLAND, June l5.-The Examiner
says today:
The thirty-two insurance companies
which wish to settle losses in the San
Francisco fire on a dollar for dollar
basis, at meeting in Reeds hall sug,
gested to the other companies who seek
to establish a rs per cent basis of set,
tlement compromise, This is now be-
ing discussed by all insurance men in
this city, for and against the 25 per cent
cut.
The proposed compromise is an agree
ment which all companies are to sign
and which will permit fiat settlement
on all losses in which it is clearly estab-
lished that no earthquake damage was
sustained by the property before the
fire. On all property damaged by the
earthquake the companies interested are
to be permitted to exercise their own
discretion as to the basis on which the
loss is to be settled.
This compromise was proposed by the
large companies that are holding out for
u full settlement of the losses. II was
made to save the day and keep the
other companies from boiling the bu-
reau and establishing q bureau of their
own. The thirty-two believed that q
split in the underwriters adjusting bu-
reau at this time would be disastrous
to the insurance situation. But the
cut payment companies were not pre-
pared to lay down their claims for q
general reduction and asked that a
meeting be called in a few days, at
which this matter shall be finally set
