UNION MEN PASS
BRYAN RESOLUTIONS
General Labor Council Indorses DEM
ocratic Ticket After Speech by the
state Secretary.

Following a speech by Charles P.
Taylor, of Tacoma, state secretary OF
the Federation of Labor. in which he
declared that unless laboring men
awoke to their own protection and
exercised the ballot in their own in
terests trades unionism might be
broken up within the next four years,
the Central Labor Council in an open
meeting at the Labor Temple last
night passed resolutions indorsing
the national democratic ticket, says
the Seattle p. l. According to, the
wording of the resolution, which was
printed in typewriter type, the dec
Iaration was not on a partisan basis,
but "in the interests Of human lib
erty."
Mr.. TAYLOR said at the outburst that
he had no interest in any of the po-
litical parties, and would speak on
non-partisan basis from the stand
point of a union man. He said half
the laboring men had, in the past,
been marched up one side OF the
street under one political banner and
the other half under another political
banner. but in each instance the en-
ployers MIXED them.
I'VE have reached the ways" he
declared, "where we know how we
stand. Our right to the boycott and
to free assemblage has been taken
away Let us now use the right that

been pointed out that this is not a
political organization and Mr. Comp
ers had no right to drag it into the

icises Mr.. Gompers Is either ignorant
OF what he Is talking about, or he Isl

The resolutions were offered by ].

Labor Council, and after being put !

Since the International Harvester
company the harvester trust, was
formed they have reduced the cost
of producing their machinery so per
cent
They have reduced the quality at
least 80 per cent and the prices now
charged are the same as previous to
the formation Of the trust.
The machinery sold in foreign
countries for prices One-third lower
than those charged in this country is
better made machinery than that
sold TO the farmers Of America"
This statement was made to the
East Oregonian today by ]. NJ. Ba-
ker, a travelling man who is in po-
sition to know something about the
machinery business. Previous to the
formation Of the harvester trust Mr..
Baker was a travelling salesman for
the Mccormick Harvester company
and as such sold binders and head
ers all over the west. When the
trust was formed he remained with
it for a year as auditor but then left
its service. At the time the trust was
formed 10000 salesmen were thrown
out Of employment, but he was not
one Of that number.
While here yesterday Mr.. Baker
chanced to notice an editorial in the
morning paper in which it was ex-
planned that the cheap machinery

Great enthusiasm was shown at
High School this afternoon in the
preparations made for the big bonfire

football year here.
The team will be out for its final
practice before the game, this eve

Trust Is Vicious.

Continuing, Mr., Baker declared
that ever since the harvester trust
was formed it has followed a vicious
course towards its customers. Before
the trust was formed competition
forced the different companies to sell
at reasonable prices and to show
some consideration to those against
whom it held notes.
But ever since it was organized
the trust has taken the attitude that
business cannot escape it if it should
wish to. So instead of salesmen it
now sends cheap clerks over the
country to check accounts. 1t is re-
lentless towards those who owe it
money and has no more sympathy for
an implement man handling its ma
chinery than for a farmer.

in State.

The directors and officers Of the
Mexico, Santa Fe and Perry Traction
company lof Missouri met Saturday
morning at 9.o'clock to meet the rep
resentatives OF the Federal Trust
company Of St. Louis, regarding the
financing of the road both south and
north OF this city. 1t seems the
Trust company have been considering
the building OF such a line and when
they learned the work was past the
incipient stage by the Mexico company
they are now interested lin financing
1t. Those who are here from st.
Louis and met with the local company
this morning were Joseph Mccoy,
vice-president Of 1.-THE Federal Trust
company and a prominent state Re-
publican; e. I. Jones, an electrical
engineer who has charge Of all the
constructive work uf electric llines d.
nanced by the company and T. L.
Trimble, an experienced railroad man
who assists Mr.. Jones,
In speaking OF the line Mr.. Mccoy
said the proposition here was one OF
the best Of Its kind In the state. "My
company makes business of.hnancing
such roads and If we should come to
an understanding with the local com.
pany we could start work within two
months time. Our contractor, who
does all this kind Of work for US, L.
W. Winter, would be sent for imme-
diately. He has null outfit with
men engaged all the time and Iguaran-
tees grading 20 miles day. You see
be must have large. force to accom-,
pllsh this.
I'VE would expect the interest and
force Of those IN the community be-
bind us, and what has transpired here
already we feel no doubt that itsis as
sured. There are several matters Of
Importance which must be considered
10 the construction Of such a line: The
psoportion Of population per .iniIe; ths
lgrade which should not be over two
per cent II the bonds are to be dis
posed OF easily; the arrangement Of
schedule Of running cars, and the
freight.
1.-THE proposition looks exceedingly
good to me, said Mr.. Jones, "and l
believe we are the people who can
build the line, Satisfying everyone In
terested, The steel Is the only thing
that could delay immediate work on
the line and If we get satisfactory
understanding with the local company
we will wire Mr.. Winters to come Inn
mediately and within two months
time the laying Of steel will begin
II understand the local company II
thinking Of using motor cars lam III
tie In favor of them. They have moi
proven the success they at first prom
ised. An advantage Of having youl
own power is the sale Of 1t along the
line to farmers and residents Of the
various places touched for lighting
land power purposes. / think, will
Mr.. Mccoy, that this proposition II
Ione of the best in the State and onll
hope we can meet the local comyany'i
desires and build the line. We Car
