' .Jonr 8' mill and the Oregon & Washington ' Lumber Company's mill wre oWlgpil to elo j-pstenlay. Tho iombincd output of these mills., which employed about 200 men, was lHO.Ono feet a day. Standard Box & l.umher Company and Multnomah Box & Lumber Company were also foreed to suspend operations yester day. The total number of mill em ployes now out is about 1.S'H and practically all have Joined th' In dustrial Workers of the World. Strikers last nlftht induced 4 of the fco men at the St. Johns Lutnber Company's mill to leave the plant Today an effort will be made to have the employes of the Peninsula, Linn ton and Vancouver Wash.) mills walk out. If this attempt is success ful the entire lumber Industry of this locality will be tied up. The Federated Trades at a meet- . In last niRht failed to adopt reso lutions of sympathy or to indorse the strike being wasted by the millhands through the Industrial Workers of the World. Shortly before noon yesterday S4 of the .130 men employed at Jones' mill in South I'ortland left the mill. I,atcr in the day most of the force of about TO men at the Oregon & Washington Lumber Company's plant also quit. During the aftenmon the strikers Induced 24 of the SO hands em ployed at the St. Johns Iiitmher Com PHiiy'a mill to walk out. Strikers also ay they have .completed the tie-tip of the Standard Box & Lumber Company and the Multnomah Box & Lumber Com pany durlnj; the day. As the result of yesterday's work oy Hie strikers the production of manufac tured lumber in this city is reduced to the extent of about ItiO.OOn feet a day ami ap proximately 200 more men are put out of employment. Last evening the strikers visited the Peninsular mills and per suaded several of the workmen' employed there to join their ranks. Today an effort will be made to bring the men out of the Peninsular mill, the I.innton mill and the two mills at Van couver. Wash. If the strikers succeed in doing this, they will have the lumber and box-makinsr business of this sec .Uon entirely prostrated. Rival r Between Labor Bodies. While the officials of the Federated Trades Council, which Is affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, and the leaders who are directing the strike through the Industrial Workers of the World will not admit it. there is a feel ing of keen rivalry between these two labor organizations. The Industrial Work ers of the World, as a consequence, will not have the official indorsement of the Federation of Labor in its tight. Any and all of the various unions that are affiliated with the Federation or Labor and representing practically every trade, tnav support the contentions of the mill 1) finds through the Industrial Workers of the World for brtler wnces. but the Federation of Labor will not support the ttrike as an organization. 'I his much wns revealed at a meeting of the Federated Council Ihhi night when the pending strike was not officially in dorse!. The feeling of the Federated Trade Couiu il toward the newly formed industrial organization dates back to sev eral years ago. At that lime the mill workers of this city were organized under tile Federation of Labor, and throug'i that organization an increase of 2 cents a day was obtained In the pay of thes laborers, by a i-lnke that was succesn lully carried out. Subsequently, the mill workers became involved in municipal politics on account' of which, and the fur ther fact that the membership consisted largely of transient men. its strength soon became liinsipa ted and dwindled away until it retained only a nominal ex istence. However, the eliurter was pntierved by the necessary payment of dues, and this branch of the Federation of Ijibor still continues to exist and ha a substantial sum in the treasury. Taint of Socialism. Naturally, the officers of the Federation of Labor did not approve of the reor ganization of this cla-fs of workmen tinder a new industrial society. They declare that the Industrial Workers or the World Is clcsely allied with the Socialists and Is backed up largely by Socialistic prin ilplW". As an organization, the Federation of Iabor is in sympathy with the tnill ifcorkero in their contention ror better wages because, as an offu-er of the Fed eration said last night, it is considered that the men who are now striking are entitled fo better wages than they are receiving. Hut. under the circumstances, the strike will not be formally indorsed by the Federation of Labor and any as sttnce the strikers receive must come from the different organizations of crafts- men that are affiliated with the Federa tion of Labor and each union must act Independently of tile others and of the head organization. "An report la certainly unfortunate and totally misleading that would leave the impression that the local labor organ izations affiliated with the American Fed eration of Labor oppose the striding mill men in their trouble." said R. A. Har ris, a member of the local Typographical I'nion, last night. "The difference be tween the American Federation of .abor xml the Industrial Workers of the World are in no wise suggested by the present Mrlke ai d I am sure no union man will or do anything to hinder the Indus trial Workers from securing justice and living wages." Mill ha mis Submit Demands. F. ilazelwond and W. J. Yarrow. Na tional executive committeeman and or ganizer, respectively, of the Industrial Workers of the World, late yesterday af ternoon called at the office of the Fast em & Western Lumber Company and submitted to W. B. Ayer. the manager, the demands of the striking millhands for an Increase in wages and a shorter day. Mr. Ayer declined to treat with the strike representatives, who retired. They exieet to present their demands to the management of the other lumber mills nd lKx factories of the city today. Or ganizer Yarrow says the strikers have not sfiecifled any particular time within which the millowners will b expected to answer their requests. They expect to give the employers plenty of time to consider the demand. The conference between Manager Ayer and the strike officials was serene ' and uneventful. Mr. Ayer informed his visi tors that the Eastern & Western Lum ber Company had been accustomed to treating directly with its employes and was not prepared -to substitute the new order of things. He further called the attention of the strike leaders to the fact that they were in error in contend ing that the wages of millhands had not been advanced. He cited that the wage schedule of lumber mill operatives had been increased from 75 to 100 per cent within the last few years. The wages now paid these men. he said, by the miils of Portland are greater than those paid at any other point on the Pacific Coast. He maintained that it was an injustice to select the Portland mills as the point for creating any disturbance Industrially in view of this condition. Since the mills .of this city are already paying better wages than, are a majority of the other lumber mills of the Coast and elsewhere, he reasoned that they are being imqroperly discriminated against. The Portland mills, he explained, were asked to advance "their wage scheduTe and at the same time compete in the sale of their output with -.other mills rhat are not maintaining as remunerative wages. Kxtension of Strike Is Feared. The effect or the existing lockout am? the general strike that is threatened will be extensive. With the exception of the St. Johns mill, which has suffered some desertions, the Peninsular mill and the Linntou mill, to which the strjkere have turned their attention in an effort to tie up these mills completely, none of the lumber mills in Portland or tributary thereto is running. Present indications are that these mills will be forced to close down, as the strikers are unusually active in interesting the workmen at these plants in the- strike movement and are securing recruits every day. Strik ers will also seek to close the mills at Vancouver. Wash., i By closing the box factories the strik ers hope to cause serious inconvenience to the general business of the city. ,By preventing the further manufacture of boxes (he general shipping business of the city will be greatly interfered with. Jobbers who depend largely on the local market for rheir supply of boxes, will be shut; off wiyiotit any means of purchas ing these containers for the purpose of making shipments. Wholesale, drug deal ers and the various smaller manufac turing industries of the city, including confectionery men. cracker and biscuit companies and practically every firm that engages in a shipping business, will be left without a source of supply. Most of these dealers are dependent on the box factories of this city for this supply. Among the rumors circulated yesterday was one to the effect that the millowners themselves are encouraging the strike sit uation in order to be relieved of fulfilling contracts for the product of their mills. This report is emphatically denied by the millowners. The rumor involved the statement that many of the mills have had their product contracted for periods of from one to five years and that the increase in the cost of labor and produc tion has been such that the owners of the mills now find that they cannot de liver the goods without a pecuniary loss to themselves. So Ioiig Contracts Made by Mills. "This report is positively false.." said one of the millowners yesterday, "it is not the custom of lumber mills to con tract their supply for even one year in advance, to say nothing of a series of years. I am Informed of but one mill in the state that has undertaken an ad vance sale of its product for so much as a year In advance and this mill is only now being installed in one of the interior towns of the state." Local deliveries of. lumber are not be ing made by any of the lumber imills of the city. The mill companies are simply restoring order In ther. mill yards bv sorting and piling the manufactured product of the last few days when a shortage of operating forces made it Im possible to properly distribute the lum ber at the time. The' managements of the different mills except to take advan tage of the present situation by making necessary repairs and otherwise adding to the equipment of their property. It is apparent that any prolonged tie up of the lumber mills of the city will have a reactionary' effect on the laborers, other than those directly involved in the difficulty at the lumber mills. By termi nating building operations hundreds of carpenters and other mechanics employed throughout the city will be thrown out of work on account of the shortage in build ing materials. T JIDGK WKBSTETt ORDERS AT TORNEY SENT TO JAIL. Imprisonment Escaped by Reluctant Obedience In Indorsing Lynch Estate Certificate. Charles R. Ickwood. attorney, avoided being, locked up in the County Jail yester day only by accepting the alternative pro vided by the Couniy Court. Judge Web ster issued an order Monday directing that Ijockwood be corhpelled to indorse a certificate of deposit for JJOo belonging to the estate of Jerry Lynch, deceased. The order set out that the attorney was un lawfully withholding the amount bv re fusal to Indorse the certificate, anil di rected that he bo arrested and confined to the County Jail until the court's order was complied with. The matter came to an issue yesterday, when Loekwood was arrested by a Depuiv Sheriff and taken to the Courthouse. He was not locked up at once, inasmuch as ne asuert to have legal advice in the mat ter. Judge Webster telephoned the Sher iff's office that he wanted the attorney locked up without delay. At this juncture Loekwood said he would yield the point and the Incident ended, for the time be ing at least. The $) is all that remains of the Lynch estate. Ixckwood has been serv ing as attorney for Richard Lynch, ad ministrator. 'She settlement of the es tate has been running along for six years. At one time a petition for removal of the administrator was filed with the court, claim being made that he was illiterate and had been induced by his attorney to sign what was purported to be a distri bution order, but which was. In fact, a receipt for S0 to the attorney. l-ast March Judge Webster" issued an order requiring loekwood to indorse and turn over the $200 that remained or the estate. The attorney carried a writ of re view to the Circuit Court, where it was tliuiisA0d three months ago. Xo appeal was taken. Judge Webster has since made repeated dem-ids for indorsement of the certificate without results. Lock wood claiming he was entitled to certain fees for professional services out of the amount.

HOUSE IS CROWDED AGAIN With Repetition the Beautiful Mti-ic Grows but the More fr'asoinating. Splendid Orchestra a Fea ture of Production. BY MARION MAC RAE. "Madam Butterfly's" second Portland presentation was greeted by an audience quite as large and representative as that of Thursday evening-, and many who heard the Szamosy-Sheehan east were attracted a sain by the change in prin cipals. With repetition the beautiful Puc cini opera grows, but the more fascinat ing, more beautiful, more pathetic. It was found that familiarity with the story and music did not harden the audi ence to the point of composure, and the pitiful plight of forsaken little Butterfly appealed quite as strongly to the emo tions as it did at the first performance. The beauty of the brchesl ral score was more deeply appreciated and its full inter pretation seemed more possible after the bewilderment of its first beauty subsided. The first night production seemed per fect. I,ast night's was but more -perfect. In fact "Madam Kutterfiy" im proves more with repetition than any opera I have ever heard. There Is a weird fascination about the wail of the wind wood, the tremulous quiver of the strings and the ominous sounding of the kettledrums as Cho-Cho-Sans grief is totd by the orchestra. And when it has developed into a tragedy the shriek of the instruments is strangely human. The advantage of present-day orchestras over those of past years fs great, and through the many new instruments that have come into use it seems possible to ex press every human emotion through the music. The Savage organization is an artistic organization, and while both Mr. Rothwell and .Mr. Feith (the latter con ducting last night) slightly overplayed the voices, they are still artists and mu sicians of splendid instincts and capacity.. Novel Method of Conducting- Choriia. The chorus of the "Butterfly" opera ap pears in the first act only, and during the second and third -acts Mings off etage. The rather novel method of conducting this hidden choral is through a series of electrical signals which the conductor manipulates with the aid of buttons and a deft left hand. Another feature which Impressed many in the audience was that fully half of the 60 members of the or chestra played the long and difficult score without the nid of notes. One of the most important roles in the opera, which has so far been neglected, is that of Baby "Trouble." and while this tlower of Butterfly's love has naught to sing or say. the acting of tiny Corinne Malvern is nothing short of marvelous for a tot of her year. The sight of the blindfolded babe playing with the Ameri can flag and the Japanese doll beside the dead mother will never be forgotten by those who have and who will yet weep over it. The soprano of Miss Florence Kaston and the tenor of Francis Maclennon were quite as satisfying as the Szamosy Sheehan combination of Thursday night, and the contralto of Miss Houston wasi gloriously rich and flexible. There was much discussion as to the merits of the two casts and opinion was pretty evenly divided. It is hard to compare Kaston with Szamqsy. for their voices are a different as night and day. yet both are perfeci: Butterflys. The Kaston oopraiu is of a lyric quality, clear and round ana ringing. The Szamosy voice is deeper, richer, more velvety. Szamosy and Kaston. Szamosy is a llnished actress ar.d a beautiful woman: Kaston a beautiful wo man an.l a natural actrcse. She w,i more Japanese in the character than Szamosy and her grief itemed more real, while her diction was much clearer than that of the Hungarian singer. In fact, plain diction was a noticeable feature throughout last night's performance, and it was quite possible to catch every wonl that was sung. Mr. Mactennons enun ciation, like his- voice, was perfect, and his 1-icutenant- Plnkerton pleased more than M'. Sheehan'e did. The latter has the slight advantage in voice, but he is not the actor that Mr. MacL-ennon proved himself. Miss Houston's interpretation of the Suzuki role was not so heavy as that of Miss Behnee but honors mut be. evenly divided between these contraltos. Their remarkable resemblance in the make up of the character deceived many until the noticeably different voice quality convinced- those in doubt of the change in cast. The Sharpless of Mr. Richards seemed to be a great improvement over his performance of Thursday night and his voice rounded out beautifully as he warmed up to the role. The trio of Sharpies!. JMnkerton and Suzuki stood out last night as a vocal gem, and the Butterfly-Suzuki duet, sung as they bedecked the little home for-the coming of the American, was rarely beau tiful and. delightfully rendered. In the famous love duet at the end of the. first act. Eastern's acting rose above that of Szamosy. and MacIennon was far better than Sheehan as the character, but the Szamosy-Sheehan voice combination was the greater. With the exception of the Belasco pro duction of "The Darling of the Gods." there has never been anything more beau tiful in color, in lights, in scenic ma terial and in symetry of stage effects seen in Portland. The noticeably strict ad herence of the whole scene to oriental splendor, peculiarly Japanese in atmos phere and topography, made an impres sion almost as great as that of the music. T'oe view of the Nagasaki harbor through the . window embowered in cherry blos soms was as dainty as a Hassam land scape., and the careful attention given to every minute detail bespoke the Master Belasco hand.

Dr. Jj. M. Davis presiding, nearly three hours were spent discussing the park ing nd improvement of streets. J. B. Groatp. a former Government road buihJcr and civil engineer, save an ad'Jress on. road and street construction, in the course of which he declared that Portland had no improved streets that would come up to the Government standard because proper drainage was not provided, because gravel or crushed rock was not put on and rolled in courses, and because t he streets were not improved by districts, a " system adopted by all progressive cities. For nearly an hour Mr. Groat talked about street improvements and answered questions as to the cost and the rela tive value of crushed rock and gravel. He said crushed tock was considered far better than gravel, adding that Portland paid murh more for its street improvements and had too little to show for the money. At the conclusion of Mr. Groat's talk Councilman Vaughn offered his serv ices. An extended discussion of the question of parking the streets be tween Tremont and Prescott and Wil lamette Boulevard and T'nlon avenue waa discussed, but the sentiment of the meeting was against parking. How ever, it is expected the whole district will b improved as soon as it can be gotten at. There seems to be a senti ment favorable to the wholesale Im provement of the district. OPTICIANS HOLD BANQUET First Annual Dinner Held by Oregon Ktate Optical As-ocintion.
