and that both regular and extra tel

Telegraph company be given the pref

other firms or corporations.

That the sanitary conditions of the

Railr0adcrs Not Called Out.
The railroad telegraphers at Port
land, so far from being called out
were yesterday afternoon enjoined to
stay at their posts by the chairman
of the local organization at that
place:
Portland, Ore, Aug. IA, 1907.
All telegraphers, lines in Oregon:
You are hereby requested to observe
strictly our agreement with the
Southern Pacific company to perform
the same duties now that you did be-
fore the commercial telegraphers'
strike; nothing more, nothing less;
Railroad company asks nothing
more. A. o. SINKS,
Local Chairman.
A rumor that message has been
sent along the line to strike within
"a hours is tacitly denied by A. o.
Sinks, chairman of the division COM
mittee Of the o. r. T., and member
OF the national committee.
'The railroad operators have al
business from the Western Union. For
instance, little towns sometimes have
no telegraph except in the railroad
offices, and naturally the commercial
business is handled by the railroad
men. There are certain other condi-
tions under which the railroad men
handle commercial messages. This is
according to an agreement with the
railroad, and the o.. r. It's instruc-
tions to its men is always to live up
to their agreements. I cannot see
where 1t would help the Western
Union or Postal operators for our mer
to strike. AS to forcing us to clear
away the jam of business that has
accumulated during the strike and to

Mr.. Vincent stated this morning
that he would take an operator II he
could get one, but will not take back
old operators. Associated Press ope-
rators are confident of winning, for
operators suitable for newspaper work
are few and far between. Out of the
total of 400 press operators, less than
100 are at their keys.
Should the Order of Railroad Tele-
graphers join the other operators the
position would be critical, but local
officials of that order deny that there
has been even a consideration of a
sympathetic movement by the ope-
rators in the railroad service. This
organization is 81 years old, while the
commercial operators have been or
ganized but about seven years. The
former have already fought many
battles with the railroads and at pres
ent have no grievances.
Portland Operators Demands
The following is complete sched-
ule of the demands presented by the
telegraphers of Portland upon the
Western Union and Postal companies
yesterday afternoon. The demands
are essentially the same as are made
upon the companies elsewhere, and
the denial of which led to the pres
ent strike:
Unioi: Affiliation,
We demand that all objections on
the part of the Western Union Tele-
graph company against its telegra-
piers affiliating themselves with the
Commercial Telegraphers union of
America be removed, and that dis
elimination because of such affllia-
tions be discontinued.
Fixed Standard of Wages.
That uniform hours for the several
tricks in all offices, including branch
offices, be adopted as follows:
Eight hours to constitute day on
day tricks.
Seven and one-half to constitute
day on night tricks, including 80 min
utes for lunch.
Seven hours to constitute a day on
split and late night tricks.
Seven hours to constitute day for
telegraphers working extra.
Five hours to constitute day on
| Sunday.
Four hours to constitute a day on
all legal holidays.
Tho term "day," might" and "late
| night" tricks to be construed as
meaning the periods between a. m.
and $50 p. M; $50 p. m. and a.
M, and 12 midnight and S a. m., re-
speetively, provided that early night
tricks shall not begin later than p
m.
That no telegrapher be compelled
to work more than AZ hours consec-
utively, without being allowed lunch

That all operators sending Associate

FUEL SHORTAGE.
Predicted in Seattle This Win.

ter.
Seattle, Aug. 15.-The shortage OF
coal is now beginning to be felt in
Seattle, and it is predicted that Seat
tie this winter will witness the worst
shortage of fuel in its history. Scare
ity of cars for hauling coal is given
as the reason. for the present state of
affairs. Only a small portion of the
residents of Seattle have protected
themselves for the winter by buying
while the market was well stocked
with coal, and there is bound to be
suffering.
The Labor Council has contracted
for 1000 tons of coal, which it will
sell TO the members of the labor
unions, but so far only 400 tons have
been obtained. There is. plenty of
coal in the mines, but the scarcity OF
cars prevents it from being hauled

Because they regard the bids SUBJ
mitted last night as exorbitant, the
levee committee has not accepted any
Of the offers, and the matter of levee
improvements is now somewhat in
the air. When the bids were opened
last night It was found that but three
concerns had entered the contest: Dan
May, Moussu & Co. and the E. T.
johnson company of Portland, were
the competitors. Until the bids were
opened it was presumed that New
port & Son would bid upon the work.
but they failed to do so.
While the prices bid were not made
public, the members of the committee
are free in declaring that they are en-
tirely too high and that levee improve
ments are impossible upon such
terms.
Owing to the nature of the work to
be done contractors run soma risks
of being delayed. The principal part
of the work consists of the laying of
the concrete foot wall. This is to be
extended down to bed rock, and
there is danger of the work being in
terfered with by rising water.
What will be done by the council
remains to be seen. At present the
levee committee is engaged in the
consideration of the bids, and every
effort will be made to secure more
favorable terms.
Dispute Paving Bill.
A controversy is now on between
the council and the Warren Construc-
| ton company over a difference of
$500 in the price of the recent paw
ing work. 1t was the understanding
of the street committee and council
that the street intersections were to
be paved for a total cost of $4,000,
which was the limit of the city's in
debtedness. However. the account
rendered by the company showed a
charge of S11,9O0 for the squares
Should this price be insisted upon by
the company it will be in breach OF
their promise, according to the mem-
bers of the council.
At the meeting last night an ordi-
nance was passed forbidding chickens
and oether fowls from running at
large within the city. An owner who
allows his stock to roam about be-
comes subject to fine of from 81 to
s25 or to five days imprisonment in
the city jail.

Still Ont at La Grande.

According to reports received here
today. the boilermakers strike is still
on at La Grande, in spite of the strike
being declared off through the resig-
nation OF Foreman Carter at Los An
geles, over whom the controversy
commenced.
The union has a grievance against
Superintendent of Motive Power Gra-
ham, on the Hartman lines in Ore
gon, and this difficulty must be set
tied to the satisfaction Of the union
before they will return to work. spe-
officially stated. the grievance pertains
to employing scabs during the strike.
In this charge will be taken up the
employment Of at least one man In
the La Grande shops during the
strike. .f E.
