Union men. however. always
fight in the open and do not use

nize that acts of violence would be
suicide for their cause.
'..-nety per cent of the trouble
during a strike is caused by out
side hoodlums.
"The biggest strike the Acme
service ever broke was that of the
Erie machinists at Meadville, Pa.
We sent 700 men there under guard
and under contract to work for
given time. The strike was broken
before that time expired, but the
breakers received their wages for
the full time.
"A couple of years ago a strike
threatened to tie up one of the
largest railroad systems in the
country. The company prepared
for 1t and We bad 400 men In Gin

work to break the strike. 1t cost
the company $1,000 a day for our
men alone, and the same thing
was being done In other cities. The
result was that the employees saw
the company was prepared and the
strike was averted.
1T cost the railroad company
$125.000 to sidestep that strike, bnt
II 1t had been declared. the cost
would have been at least $4,000 q
day"

Cincinnati has a standing army

That's about 20 strikes in Gin

MACHO LICENSE

An hour after A. NJ. Macho, the
notorious employment, agent, took
out a new license yesterday Mayor
Moore revoked it. The mayor has
been unalterably opposed to Macho
remaining longer in the employ

money and afterward finding no
work for them.
The license Macho took out yes

TWO BURNED
IN STEAMER

PORTLAND, Oct. 23.-Two lives
were lost and the river steamer
Teal was burned to the waters
edge here at 4:30 this morning as
the result Of an explosion in the
engine room.
The dead are Mrs. A. E. Jackson,
of Stevenson, Wash, and John Col
Inns, Of Portland.
Jack Hasley, of Portland, was
badly burned.
The Teal was an almost new
steamer, launched last spring, and
was engaged in Columbia river
traffic between Portland and The
Dalles. Mrs. Jackson, the passen-
ger killed, had come aboard last
evening and taken a stateroom and
passage to her home at Stevenson,
Wash. The Teal was due to leave
Portland at 7 o'clock and passen-
gers often slept on board the night
before.
The flames spread with wonder
full swiftness, eating up the COM
panionway and licking up the main
saloon and the staterooms within
few moments. Collins is supposed
to have been injured in the original
explosion, the cause for which ia
unknown.
So rapid was the work of the fire
that the fireboat lying opposite in
the river was not able to cross the
stream before the Teal was moth
ing but a pile of floating embers.
The steamer Breakwater, lying
next to the Teal, was damaged by
fire before she could get into the
stream. Property loss is estimated
at ahout $40 000

SALOONS DOWN
PRATT AGAIN

Pres. Pratt made another effort
to get action on his ordinance shut
ting saloons out of the residence
districts last night and was block
ed, as usual, principally by Bald
win and Funk. Pratt took the floor
and called the ordinance out of
committee, where 1t had slumbered
for months. Baldwin began a fill
buster campaign by demanding in
formation as to whether the coun-
Gil had right to make saloon linn
it's and whether after having made
them it could not still go ahead
and grant licenses where 1t wished.
He mentioned organic law" SO Oft
en- that thirsty auditors began to
think he was alluding to new bev-
erage. The corporation counsel as
sured him that the council had alb.
solute power to regulate saloons,
but Baldwin demanded a written
opinion to mingle in with his or
ganic act ideas and gain time.
Then Funk begun to melt in sym.
pathy for the saloon man already
established among the residences.
Funk halls from the First ward,
where they won't stand for a sa-
loon, which sprobably why he al
ways becomes so alert when the
liquor question is uppermost.
He was also troubled by the fear
that banishing the saloons from
next door to the homes would
drive them downtown and raise
rents in the saloon district.
Then arose Mr.. Pratt with some
wrath in his eye and the initiative
club in his hand. He said 30 per
cent call for a popular vote on the
question could and would be Sc
cured IL the council refused much
longer to establish the limits de-
sired. Pratt said he could get the
necessary number of signatures for
an initiative election in three days.
But the ordinance went back to
the cellar to remain for as long as
the councilmen who are opposed to
it can keep it there. They say they
are willing to restrict the saloons
but the ordinance never passes.
The proposed saloon limits run
from a point 125 feet south of Sec
ond av. on Madison St, thence east
to Division St. thence south to
Fourth av., thence east to Pine ST.,
thence north to the river; north OF
the river on Washington st~to MAJ.
Ion av., thence west to Madison St,
thence south to the river. thence
south to point of beginning.
