Question Of Wages not Involved
In Southern Pacific Controversy

" New methods and new machinery
in railroad work are superscding old
machinery and obsolete methods. Mem.
bers Of the Order Of Railroad Conduc.
tors and Trainmen must expect to keep
up with the times or drop back. The
Portland, Eugene Eastern will be
glad to employ members of either or.
ganization to man its trains, but IL
cannot concede TO these men the right
to jump from one entirely different
class of operation to the other simply
because they are the oldest employees
entitled to the job.
Bad Time for Strike.
at Is to be regretted that the strike
situation has developed just at a time
when the money markets Of the world
are in a bad condition. The influence
of the threatened strike will be far
reaching and will further embarrass
plans for financing our great Oregon
development scheme and needed exten.
sions thereof.
"Our construction work has been re.
tarded through the unmerging of the
Hartman system, the action of the
California railway commission in pre.
venting the sale Of Southern Pacific Sc.
curities, and now comes this proposed
strike, which would drive capital Ia
cover faster than anything else that !
know Of IL is blow so serious to the
development Of the Willamette valley
that | shrink from contemplating t.
II will be noted that President Sproulc
is endeayoring TO have the matter arbi.
trated. This should be welcomed by
the trainmen, and in view Of the grave
consequences which would follow q
strike, the public has a right to, and
doubtless will, insist that arbitration
be resorted TO.

Triple Jinx on
Wrecked Schooner
Black Cat, Friday Sailing Day and
18th Combination Too Much for
Welding Graft.
UNITED PRESS LEASED wrRn.l

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 1.-Survivors of
the wrecked fishing schooner Welding,
which is ashore on Frederick island,
have figured out that the craft was af.
flicted with triple jinx, and that no
power short of miracle could have
kept her off the beach.
They point out that Nero, big black
cat, which was blamed by Captain Otto
Holstrom for lot of bad luck on
two previous voyages, had sneaked
aboard, just before the schooner sailed,
although the captain had chased it
ashore. several times. The Welding
sailed on Friday, and the wreck oc-
Cured on the 18th day Of the cruise.
When the crew took to the boats
Nero was left behind, but he raised
such yowl that Mate DAILY went back
for him. For four days the cat slept in
the small boat while the men pulled
against head winds and a rough sea.
When they touched at Graham s island
for rest, the cat scampered into the
woods, and, according to the 90 sur
vivOrs, they had better luck from then
on.
No word has been received from Cap.
tain Holstrom and the four men who
put back to the wreck on the third
day.

Portland, Or, Aug. mo question
Of wages or conditions Of employment
enters into the controversy between the
Southern Pacific Company and its con.
ductors and trainmen who are threat.
ening to call strike unless their de.
mands for interchange Of positions be-
tween the steam and the electric lines
are complied with. The question Of al
lowing the men to interchange their
places OF. employment at will from
steam road to electric line or from elec.
tric line to steam road, alone enters in.
to the situation.
This difficulty has arisen through
the electrification of a part of the
Southern Pacific S steam lines radiat.
ing out of Portland and the proposed
strike is Of peculiar interest here.
Company Offers Optional Jobs.
The company has offered all its con.
ductors and trainment now employed in
the steam service the option of posi-.
tons on either the electric or the steam
lines. The rates of pay, hours Of serv.
ice and conditions Of employment on
the electric lines will be the same as
those now in effect on the steam road,
The company reserves the right, how.
ever, to operate the electric system on
basis entirely independent from the
steam road subsequent to the initial sc.
lection of employees. 1t takes the atti.
tude that when once man elects to
enter the electric service he loses his
rights Of seniority on the steam lines.
The men contend, however, that their
selection Of a psoition on the electric
road should not bar future recognition
of their seniority rights on the steam
lines. It is upon 'this subject that the
controversy hinges.

expect to leave Los Angeles tonight or
