HENRY T. ScoLLlN DEAD.

In the death of Henry T. Scollin, who
passed away at his home, 2S49 West
Thirty-fifth avenue, Tuesday evening of
this week, organized labor loses one of
its most enthusiastic and active workers.
Brother Scollin has for the past IA years
made a valiant fight against the white
plague, but had to succumb to the newt
able. Brother Scollin was born in Dan
bury, Conn, Nov. l, 1869. He learned
the hatters' trade in Connecticut and
came to Denver IA years ago. For the
past eight years he has been the West
ern representative of the United Hat
ters of North America and while his
devoted a great deal of his time to the
interests of all workingmen.
He has appeared before almost all the
different organizations in the state in be-
half of his organization and through his
efforts large sums of money have been
hatters in their strike. and he lived to
see the strike almost won.
Brother Scollin took an active part in
the Peabody war and has always been
a champion of the union. The fu-
neral took place Friday. Charles H.
Meyer, James Kirwin, William Hickey,
Otto Thum, Ralph G. Moser, Ernest Mills
and Edward Keating acted as pallbear-
ers. These gentlemen were selected by
Brother Scollin before his death
The deceased brother is survived by
brother, who came to Denver four
weeks ago to be with him to the last;
a mother, two sisters and three other
bfethers, who live in the East
The United Labor Bulletin, on behalf
of organized labor, extends its heartfelt
sympathy to the relatives and friends of

TRIcksTERs FoILED.
Citizens Alliance slid One oh Portland
labor Men t9)

A rather clever trick OF the Citizens
Alliance, intended to hamstring labofs
efforts to redress grievances has been
temporarily defeated. An ordinance was
introduced recently by Councilman An
nand to do away with the bahnermen
occasionally used by the unions to adver-
tise unfair employers. This ordinance
passed by unanimous vote.
However, in their zeal to get at the
men who expose the greed and rotten
ness of some money-nad manufacturer
or storekeeper the trainers of the ordi-
nance struck against signs used by many
business concerns. No political, frater-
nal or other parade could have displayed
any sign designating its purpose.
Thus when Councilman Baker pointed
out that it would cover theatrical adver-
tising and possibly other lines of bust.
ness advertising the father of the ordi-
nance. Councilman Armand, moved for
| its reconsideration. The councilmen
seeing that they had been dupes of the
of their business friends, had this ordi-
nance sent to the street committee.
The ordinance is given here in full:
IAN ordinance prohibiting moving ad-
vertisements on the streets of the City
of Portland and declaring an emergency.
"The City of Portland does ordain as
follows:
Section l. It shall be unlawful for
any person, in or upon any street, ave-
nue., sidewalk or public park, to carry,
bear, support or place, or cause to be
carried, borne. supported or placed any
banner, sign, transparency, frame work,
device or emblem intended or intending
or purportng to be used as an advertise
ment or publication of any trade, calling,
profession. business cause movement or
any other purpose or thing whatsoever;
provided that this section shall not ap-
ply to or prevent or prohibit any person
from advertising his business or calling
on any wagon or vehicle used exclusive
ly in said business.
Sec. 2. Any person violating any pro
visions of this ordinance shall, upon con
viction thereof in the municipal court
be punished by fine of not less than So
nor more than $50 or by Imprisonment
in the city Jail for not less than five
days nor more than 30 days. or by both
such fine and Imprisonment.
Sec. 3. Inasmuch as this ordinance
is necessary for the immediate preserva-
tion of the public health, peace and
safety of the city of Portland and the
United labor bulletin., 1909-12-10

inhabitants thereof in this: that there
advertisements upon the streets and said
moving advertisements are an obstruc-
ton to traffic, this ordinance is neces-
sary for the public health, peace and
safety; therefore, an emergency is here
by declared and this ordinance shall go
into force and effect from and after it's
approval by the mayor"
Can there be any doubt in the mind
of any fair-minded reader that this ordi-
nance is despicable trick of the Citi-
zens' Alliance. or Employers Associa-
ton?
The public health, peace and safety is
endangered by these bannermen, hence
the emergency clause in the ordinance
What rot. What solicitude on the part
of some corporation lackey to earn his
pay and defeat the referendum vote The
emergency clause is proof positive of the
corrupt motives of the advocates of the
ordinance.
What is the bannermen's notice or the
advertisement on fence anyhow but the
exercise of our constitutional right of a
free press? Sometimes a statement
pasted on fences or notices carried on
banners are the peoples only effective
means to tell the truth and arouse the
people to action.
We trust that our councilmen will not
pass this ordinance, which, even if
passed, can and ought to be resisted on
constitutional grounds.
