In speaking OF the dictionary, DR.. Fer
maid said:
"a complete dictionary is an epitome
OF all knowledge All that is known

MACHINISTS BACK
PEARRE'S MEASURE
LawfOr Increased Wage Scale
Favored by Union.
CLAIM THEY ARE UNDERPAID
President Johnston, of International
Association of Machinizts, Declares
Factory Receive Less COnpensa-
ton Than Men of Less Ability.

Columbia Lodge, No. 17l. international
Association Of Machinists, representing
1900 machinists employed in the local
navy yard. and Washington Naval Gun
Factory, have formulated a strong cam
pa!g1, which has for its object the enact
ment Of bill introduced IN the House by
Representative Pearre. for d general ad-
vance in the wages of all skilled mechan-
les at the navy yard.
The legislative committee, which has
been I'm charge Of the work Of advo-
eating the passage Of this bill, say It IS
their intention to leave nothing undone
This committee Is composed Of the
young men of the highest intelligence.
imbued with enthusiasm and possessed
Of more OF less experience IN the work
before them.
William II. Johnston. president OF Dis
trict Lodge, No. A, International Asso-
citation Of Machinists. said last night
that while the large majority OF the
skilled mechanics employed in the Wash
ington Navy Yard are the best machinlsts
in the country, they receive less com
pensation than men OF far less ability and
experience employed by private concerns.
Requires Highest SIKH.
1T takes a man Of the highest skill as
a machinist." said President Johnston.
ito 90 the high-class work required IN
the navy yard and IN the gun factory.
He turns out more and better work than
can be done IN any government or private
machine shop plant in the country.
The rapid increase in prices OF neces-
sites has forced the labOring men 20 take
some steps 10 obtain an increase in their
compensation 10 meet the extoTtIonate
and abnormal prices charged for food
stuns We cannot live on the wages paid
US now with prices at top-notch figures.
THE wage scale board, composed Of
naval officers, who fix annually the sala-
ries, based upon wages paid other skilled
mechanics Of a ike character, base their
estimates on the prices paid In Baltimore,
Richmond, and Alexandria, where high
class work is never done OF though OF.
Concerns Pay More.
II can show you in a number Of in
stances where small private concerns in
washington, who do ordinary repair work,
pay their machinists $3.50 a day and work
their men eight hours the same as We do.
This is more in excess than we are now
asking
1t may seem strange that the bill for
an increase only applies 10 the Washing
ton Navy Yard. and does not include the
yards located in other sections OF the
country This can be explained for the
reason that the Washington yard IS the
only one in the country having a gun
factory. where the guns Of the navy from
the smallest arm TO the largest 14-inch
guns are completely constructed. This
work requires past masters in the ma
chinists' art

old, son Of sunny Italy, is a nervous
man which explains why he thought he
had committed murder yesterday morning
when he had only sighted injured a man.
Contrissi is a disciple of Caruso. and
claims to be a man Of temperament
Contrast recently obtained a position
with the Pennsylvania Railroad TO walk
tracks. He was provided with a revolver.
He showed it to "da BOYS" yesterday
morning when he walked into the round
house, near Ivy City. He removed five
shells. and accidentally left the sixth in
the chamber. Then he closed the weapon
and began swapping the trigger.
A report, fash, and cry from Edward
Clinton, negro laborer, was almost 81
multaneous. Contrast turned from the
deep bronze TO a sickly white, as the
negro fell with a wound in the right
chest
They carried Clinton 10 the Casualty
Hospital When they looked for Contrissi
he was gone Detectives COrnwell and
Baur boarded car and started I'm pur-

rowed $40 from friends. shaved off his
beard, and was bound for parts unknown
when caught.
At police headquarters he was laxative
He was told the negro was not seriously
injured, and had left the hospital. and
returned to work, Contrissi nearly
tainted from the reaction. Then he
wanted to buy cigars for everybody. He
was removed to the First precinct station.
The police will release the man this
morning.

BRIDGE AT BUTTEVILLE
BOOSTED SATURDAY NIGHT
TiCouny Push Club Formed Boulevard to Aurora
Raised for Sidewalk to ChopunnSh-- Depot Called
For.

The Tri-County Push Club held a
big booster meeting at Butteville Sat
urday night, at which a large num-
ber of people from both sides of the
river were present, and all three
counties were represented. The mu-
sic for the occasion was furnished by
PARROTS band, and the meeting was
followed by a ball. In spite of a
large meeting of Odd Fellows, a ball
at Aurora, and school entertainment
at Donald, the hall was crowded full
people, and the greatest enthusiasm
prevailed. The club has over 100
members, and nearly so more have
been added. The committees on
membership are going out for 1000
members.
Officers Are Elected.
Following officers for the Tri-Coun-
ty Push Club were chosen: VIM. E.
Purdy, president; r. Woolworth,
vice-president. Andrew Johnson,
financial secretary; Harry Spinney,
treasurer. These officers were au-
thorized to draft constitution and by
laws and list of standing committees,
and will report at next meeting. The
purpose of the organization is to de-
velop the resources of these remote
parts of the three counties of Marion,
Yamhall and Clackamas.
Sidewalk to ChOpunnish.
The canvassing committee on side
walk to the nearest Oregon Electric
station reported that they had about
$500 raised, and, with the $500 that
the city council will give, will make
a sum sufficient to build 3-foot wide
plank walk from Butteville to Chop
unnish, on the main road from Butte
Vile to Aurora, a station that is do
ing a large business. The committee
to build the walk, chosen at this
meeting, was A. ID. Yeargen, r.
Woolworth and Andrew Johnson.
Working for Depot.
There were many speeches made
nish, which was promised by the
posed depot and siding at ChOpun-
nish, which was promise dby the
right of way managers when the sta
tion was located. Since then the peo-
pie of Butteville have raised money
and bought two acres of land for adj
ditional depot and siding grounds. A
committee was appointed to take up
the matter with the officials and see if
some agreement cannot be reached.
The committee will probably go to
Portland Thursday
Boulevard to Aurora.
A strong movement will be backed
by the club for fine graveled road
to Aurora, and the county court of
Marion county stands ready to do all
that can be done to help the people
make this road go this spring early.
Judge Bushey is very much in favor
of helping that part of the county,
that is showing such an admirable
spirit of self-help. Such a road would
make Chopunnish station one of the
best in the county.

speech, made the statement that the
principal purpose of the Tri-County
Club was to push through a fine steel
bridge across the Willamette river at
this point, where the three counties
come together. The campaign will
be made in the three counties, and
candidates for county offices and the
Legislature will be enlisted by the
special committee of the club. There
is no wagon bridge across the Will
lamette between Salem. and Oregon
City, and the rapid settlement and
development of this rich fruit grow
ing region makes a bridge an abso-
lutte necessity. 1t would do a great
deal for the rapid development of all
three counties.
Call 1t East Butteville.
A resolution was adopted asking
that the name of Chopunnish be
changed to East Butteville. Speeches
were made that showed there was
more travel across the river here
than at any point, and that Butte
Vile, which is growing rapidly on
both sides of the river, is the natural
name for this point on the river. The
Oregon Electric has recognized St.
Paul and Woodburn with station
and East Butteville is believed
to be winner, from a business
There has been a recent
sale of 400 acres of land here for
to be cut into 5-acre tracts,
and this farm alone will add hun
dreds of people.
