He has had enough OF politics, of di-
plomacy and state craft, enough of
battling against an impregnable po-
litical majority, but is thoroughly
satisfied with the fruits of his sena-
torial labors.
Mr.. Gearin regards the upper house
of the national legislature as the
greatest parliamentary body in the
world, repudiates the oft-repeated
charges that it is a rich mans club
that its deliberations are directed,
controlled by and subjected to the
whims of trust-owned hirelings. He
says that Senator-elect Jonathan
Bourne has already created a deep
impression at Washington, and is
bound to make his influence felt on
behalf of the state of oregon before
he has been in the halls of congress
many months.
Mr.. Gearin yawns with WEAKNESS
when his name is mentioned in con-
nection with any political honors that
may come his way in the future, and
reminds the interviewer of the fact
that honors were thrust upon him en-
tirely unsought, entirely unexpected
and that the worm of ambition is not
gnawing him.
The year that Mr.. Gearin has spent
IN Washington has had its effect upon
him. He attacks questions in which
the commercial and industrial inter-
ests of oregon are vitality concerned
with a careful thoughtfulness that
shows he has given the best there is
in him in his efforts to solve them
with the limited opportunities he has
had.
He is deeply impressed with the
fact that Oregon can gain much at
the hands of congress if the men she
sends to Washington labor earnestly
and faithfully in her behalf.
He admits that he has not been
able to accomplish a great deal be-
cause he went to the national capital
representative of the minority par
ty, but he says he was at all times
given distinguished consideration
whenever he made an appeal in behalf
of the Beaver state.

$4,000. 900 FOR A STRIKE.
How the Typographical Union Has
Financed Its Contest.

The great strike in the book and
job printing industry, in which the
International Typographical Union Of
North America and the United Ty-
pothetae of America have been pitted
against each other for IS months, has
attracted considerable attention to
trade union methods and the history
of trade organizations.
The International Typographical
union was formed in 1852. and has
had a successful and progressive exist
ence since that time. Previous to
1852 there were many local associa-
tions or unions of printers. and con-
vention of these local associations
was held as early as 1884.
The International Typographical
union is recognized as a conservative
organization, and this is borne out by
the effort that was made by the off,
GERS of the union to peaceably adjust
the eight-hour contention with the
employers before the strike was en-
tered into. This strike has been a
marvel of financiering.
The International Typographical
union has a membership of about
47,0O0 and. with the exception of
about $4,000. tres0 47,000 members
have raised ~ a'se ser1ent more than
$4,000 900 for the conduct of their
strike for the elght-hour day. The
assessment was at first so cents per

week, then 10 per cent of all wages
earned. The 10 per cent assessment
was effective for nine months. 1t
was then reduced to per cent, later
to 5 per cent, and is now per cent.
The method of levying the assess
ment Is also worthy of explanation.
1t was not placed by n convention
nor by the officers of the organiza-
tion. The proposition was submitted
to n referendum vote. The proposal
to levy so cents per week received
majority OF nearly 10000 votes, and
the proposal to levy 10 per cent as
sessment received a majority OF more
than 1S, 900 votes.

advantage.
The International Typographical

Printers Home. This institution was
erected and is maintained by the In
ternational Typographical union for
its aged and distressed members.
Thus far the union, in erecting and
carrying on this part of its philan-
thropic work, has expended more
than $500, 900 in about ~ years time,

The man for whom Condor, Gill
liam county Ore, was named, the
man who discovered and exploited the
rich fossil fields in central Oregon,
and who has given the world more
light upon the geological history of
Oregon than any other, Professor
Thomas Condor, is dead.
For 40 years Professor Condor has
devoted his energies to a study of the
prehistoric life OF Oregon. Some of
the most remarkable geological speci-
cred in central Oregon through his
tireless efforts and through his direc-
ton.
In his book on the geology of the
Pacific coast he paints fascinating
picture while telling a scientific story
and through this book has aroused
deep interest in the scientific phases
of this state.
A special from Eugene says of his
death:
DIR. Thomas Condor, Oregon's ven
cradle geologist. died this morning at
10 o'clock at the home of Mrs. H. F.
Mccormack, two miles southwest OF
Eugene. DR.. Condor met with an
attack of the grip about three weeks
ago, and this, in connection with his
age, 81 years, made recovery doubt
full. It was given out today that his
death was due to senile exhaustion.

Mrs. H. F. Mccormack and Mrs r.
S. Bean of Eugene, and Mrs. f. C.
Wolf of Seattle. Herbert T. Condor
of Seattle, and S. w. Condor of Los
Angeles, have been notified.
The frail figure of the geologist is
familiar to every student, and his
death has occasioned profound re-
gret. The literary societies, the Y.
NJ. C. A. and other student organiza-
tions held informal meetings tonight
to arrange for flowers and other
tokens of respect.
DR.. Condor was born in the south
of Ireland March 8, 1923, and landed
in New York at an early age. He
came to oregon in 1862 and for many
years was located as a Congregational
missionary at The Dalles, from which
point he made many excursions to
the John Day country in search of
prehistoric fossils. In his collection,
gathered in eastern oregon, are many
rare specimens.
Before coming to the University of
Oregon to accept the chair of geology,
he was professor at Pacific university
for two years. Since 1876 he con-
Quoted courses in geology at the Uni
versity of oregon, and only gave up
his labors three years ago.
Professor Condor was vne of the
recognized geologists of national
note, and gave particular attention to
the geology of oregon in his book,

Maxey yesterday vaccinated 100 peo-
pie at the home. He says there are

many more cases before long, as prac-
tically all at the home were exposed.
