YARROW SOUNDS WARNING Orjarnnlzor Says Industrial "Workers of AYorld Have Not Yet Begun to Show1 Hand and VU1 Stand Together. "Willi practically all the sawmills in Portland either qlosed down entirely or badly crippled, the stnkrrs and the mill owners are at a deadlock over the situa tion and unless a confert?nie between strikers and employers Is arranged look ins to a settlement, the strike promises i to spread to all mills on the Coast and paralyze the industry. Organizer Yarrow says unless the de mands of the strikers are granted, every mill from the Mexican border to Green wood, B. C, will be closed. He threat en that the losaers will aiBo nd out in this stain, after which other industries 'will be tied up. t "An injury to one is an Injury to all." rcatis the motto of the Industrial Workers of the World, and Organizer Yarrow con tends that al! workers will stand together tn the fight for what he says is a fair division of the profits of labor.' "Vie have not yet begrun to play our hanil." said lie last ni;ht. The cards have only been shuffled and our first card remains to bo played. People have no idea of Urn strength of our organization. J (We have, eturprlsuiR strength in all lines 'of labor. If necessary, we can brinfr the Captivities of this Coast to a standstill and 'atop the wheels of induRtry.' The mil lowners are not receding in the 1ast from their defiant stand and have taken no ttterps to treat In any way with the atrikers. 0. P. Hoff, Labor Com missioner for Oregon, is in Portland, and taJrinir euros to bring about a oonfer- lence between the two warring interests with a view to a fettlement. We deplores f the present condition and says it is ruin- 'ous to both sides. ( Should he be successful in bringing the strikers and millmen together for a con ference, it may be that the strike will be called off within a few days. If not. jrtie strike leaders say it will spread to thr Industries and other states umil no one can tell where it will end.- j- Strikers Hold Meetings. I Two crowded meetings were held yes terday by the striking millmen. . Speeches twere made on the trouble from the strik jers standpoint by the leaders and much enthusiasm was shown. At the evening jneetlug, word whs brought that the Fen insula Lumber Company's mill had prac tically stopped operations, with the excep tion of the planer, and that a total sus pnsion of work is certain today. The imon will then concentrate on the KaPt rSide Iumbor Company, of SeDvtood . which. j Hins so far continued to operate. ! Trouble was feared at the Peninsula tnlU yesterday and the owners asked that Ivputy Sheriffs be went there to guard the property. Wlien strikers tried to en ter the mill premises, they say they were confronted with guns and told to leave, which they did. Police were calied for later in the day. as it was reported that pickets were causing trouble at the boarding: houses where the mill workmen live, and which, unlike the mill. In in the city limits. Two officers were sent to the spot but no arrests were necessary. The night shift wa sadly deputed last night by deflec tions to the ranks of the strikers, and it is paid the engineer led the walkout. , The St. Johns veneer factory closed also. Biscuit manufacturers are hard pu for boxes and are alarmed over the situation. The supply of boxes in which to ship their product is reported to be very low. In this way, the strike may cause the shutdown of biscuit factories and other plants which require a large number of boxes. Financial Aid Offered. Strike notices, which have been dis tributed in other -Coast cities, have been received at the BurnsUle street headquar ters of the Industrial Workers of the World. They wrn workmen to stay away from Portland on account of the strike. .Advices received from other points con tain offers of financial assistance, should lit be needed. Vincent J?t.

With SfOM men out. .nd with strike headquarters on Burn tide street, surrounded by saloon?, there has been no drunkenness or violence and only one arrest. This was on the charge of refusal to move on when directed to do so by an officer. The men are directed by the strike leaders to preserve order kand the peaceful conduct of the strike as causing surprise. Organizer Yarrow, in in address to the men yesterday after noon, urged them to refrain from even enoutfng scab" at nonunion workers. 1"CIh to Discuss Situation. ftgger operating on the Columbia River will meet In the Chamber of Com merce tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock tu consider what course is best to follow In view of the sawmill strike. It is sup posed that unless some adjustrrTent of. the difficulty is In sight at the time of the meeting, a general shutdown of the camps will be decided upon. Tli loggers may also map out some policy in case their men go out in sym pathy with the sawmill men. as Is threat ened. The industry on the Columbia .Itiver now employs about Km-. men. Should the mills remain shut down for jome time, the market for logs will be Mit off and a shutdown will bp necessary. The most favorable season for logging is r.ow opening up and the sawmill strike threatens to greatly curtail the output. The call for the meeting is signed by the following committee of loggers: R. rolline. O. J. Byerlv. R. S. Karrell. Hollis A!ger and James Muckle. The call fol lows: 0lnjE to the tmrl that the jcreater por tion, or a!l, of the sawmlin in Portland and the Columbia Hiver are now, or will probably be, Idl tor an indefinite time, it was thou phi ndvhw-ble to tail a meeting of tha lcars adjacent to the Columbia Kiver in 'OutemplRtion of Faulting down their f.arniit until the mills rcaumc work. py all i hf; camp running full caiwrtty ;n- 'JO of GV or W da; f, uua ail ut mill re MAY fusing to purchase logs, a necessary surplus of lojrs would rau;e a rtagnation in the de mand and price later, and a consequent ma terial loss to the loggers. It is thrrfore not only necespary but imperative that a full attendance of loggers be present at this meeting. Give Strike Moral Support. The Building Trades Council indorsed the strike of the sawmill workers by reso lution at a regular meeting last night. The action taken does not mean that the or ganization will join in the strike or assist it financially but bespeaks moral support. The resolution is as follows: "Whereas, the mill employes of the several lumber mills in Portland and vi cinity in answer to a call of self-preservation have organized themselves into an organization of Jaw abiding citizens to down the despotic . rule of capital and to further the rights of labor have asked for an advance of wages; bo it "Resolved, that .we extend them our hearty sympathy and best wishes in their struggle." i MILLS EV AT ASTORIA QUIT 'o Cause Is Given Why Men Refused to Go lo Work Yesterday. ASTOlilA. Or.. March 11. (Special;) The Tongue Point Lumber Company's mill is closed down on account of a strike, but so far as can be' learned it has ' no connection with the strike . at the Portland mills. The, men at this mill have been working 60 hours per week, and by taking- but three-quarters of an hour for dinner, they have been quitting; at 4:30 on Saturday afternoons. Jast Monday the employes were noti fied that hereafter an hour would be allowed for dinner and, work would be continued until 6 o'clock on Saturday. No formal protest was made, but on Saturday all the men quit at 4:30 as usual, and this morning: none of them returned to work, although the major ity of them went to the mill. Manager Hazen states that- in making this new rule, he' was following the custom in vogue at the mill during the Summer months, and until the employes quit he had no intimation that any of them objected to it. A delegation of strikers from the Portland mills has been interviewing the employes of the Tongue Point plant, and the management believes this fact is responsible for the trouble here. It Js expected the plant will.be closed down during the balance of the week, at least, while some minor repairs -are being made.

It. is sufficient to say that our departed brothers answered to those tests, and answered fully, and through all the years of their life among s their record continued unblemished, and now that they are gone that record remains as a signboard upon life's highway, direct ing all who follow after along the road that leads to honor, distinction and true useful ness.

Hendrie this society lias lo?t three of its most valued members, the memory of whose kindly companionship through so many years will remain with us to the end and comfort us for the loss we have sustained.

PROSECUTION FOOTS BILL After Being Brought From San Francisco Older Heavy Ex- pen.se, the State's Witness , Proves to Be a Tartar. All evidence whereby the state hopes to send Kd Nelson and C. W.' Ianielson to the gallows for the murder of Oscar Lind gren is now before the jury in the State Circuit Court. The prosecution rested its case yesterday afternoon and the defense at once loifk up its work of refutation. It is only by complete refutation of the state's testimony that the two accused men may hope to win this battle for their lives. The evidence against them is as conclusive as ' circumstantial evi dence can possibly be. Men have often been hanged on testimony' far less con vincing. Considerable surprise was occasioned yesterday, when Alphonse Du Rame, a Swiss, was called to the stand-by the de fense. Du Rame had been heralded as the star witness for the state. - The Dis trict Attorney's office went to the ex pense of importing him from San Fran cisco especially for- this trial. 'He said he had seen three men . run out of the saloon where Lindgren was shot down arid said further, in a letter to Deputy District Attorney Moser, that he could Identify the three men. The District At torney's office took infinite pains to have Du Rame appear, and when he did show he said he saw three men run from the saloon but could not. under any circum stances, identify them. He contradicted the statements attributed to him- by N. Zech, a saloonkeeper, to the effect that Nelson did the shooting. Finding his testimony would be of no value. Deputy District Attorneys Haney and Moser declined to put him on the stand. Attorneys Banks and Fouts, for the defense, promptly subpenacd the man to refute Zech's testimony .and to show that he did not identify Nelson and Danlelson as two of the three men who ran from the saloon after the shooting oc curred. Du Kanie a Poor Witness. .Du Rame -.is a beetling-browed Swiss with little knowledge of the English language and less continuity of thought. He was a confused and hesitating wit ness, awkward . and thick under direct examination, rattled and conflicting under cross-examination. His' testimony was of no great .importance to the case, except In showing the mistake made by the state in deeming him an Important wit ness for the prosecution. This incident will probably be pushed hard by the de fense to show the frailty of circumstan tial evidence. , The most direct testimony yet adduced was that given by Mrs. Oscar Lindgren, widow of the murdered man. She was in the saloon a few minutes after her husband was shot down and asked him who did it. He told her that Roloff was the person, thereby meaning Kelson, who sometimes went by the name of Roloff. Nelson's nerve 'failed him yesterday and he was continually nervous and ill at ease. Once, .during the forenoon, he be came so excited over the testimony of a witness of the state as to get up in open court and declare the testimony was untrue: ... This incident occurred while Ben Branch, city jailer, was on the stand. Branch said he heard Nelson tell Daniel son to keep his mouth shut if he didn't want to hang. This was while the pris oners were being taken from their cells in the City Jail for examination by Iu nicipal Judge Cameron. Nelson was quickly on his feet. "That is not so, your honor." he said, addressing Judge Frazer. His attorneys told him to sit down and keep quiet, an order which he obeyed reluctantly. The first witness of the day was H. F. Marble, who saw three men running past his house at Fourteenth and Pettygrove streets, a moment after the shooting. He noticed that one was taller than the other and that he wore either a red hand kerchief or the top of a red sweater about his neck. Detective Price said he talked with the wounded man and that Lindgren told him to "get the man with the red sweater." Nelson had on a red sweater at the time. Similar evidence was given by three, other winesses. J. C. Johnson, a bartender. Po lice Sergeant Buty and Harry Schorn. Defense Opens Case. Guy- Henry, the first witness placed on the stand by the defense gave an account that conflicted with all other testimony, possibly having been Intended for that purpose In order to infuse an element of doubt into the case. Henry, an employe of the Merrill dance-hall, said he was standing in a doorway across the street from Lindgren's saloon when he heard a shot fired and saw two men run north. He might have seen more had the arc light at the corner not gone out at this moment. According to his -story , he crossed the street and saw the wounded . man en gaged in a game of solitaire and inci dentally bleeding to death, tie says Lind eren kept on shuffling the cards and that there f were three men standing in the saloon who appeared to be paying no at tention to him. That the light on the corner did not go out was sworn to by Du Rame, the next witness for the defense, -on cross examination. Th defense will renew the examination of its ; witnesses today. FIVE INKAXT CORPORATIONS Articles Filed In Office of the Clerk of Multnomah County. : Five infant corporations came Into the World yesterday, notice of their birth being filed with the County Clerk's office during the day. The old Oregon Creamery Company expects to corral a lot of cream business with a stated capitalization of 920,600, and in corporators consisting of C. J. Schnabel, Frita Kneckt and C. Kneckt. Natives of Switzerland In distress hereafter will have a haven of rest and supply in the Sv.ss Aid Society, which Is organized for the sole purpose of helping hard-up Swiss. The organizers are A. Bichofberger, P. Rotb . and Charles Urfur. The Interurban Land Company an nounces its intention of dealing In real estate, and claims a capitalization of $60,000. The incorporators are F. A. Jacobs. O. C. Stine and A. C. Emmons. Another real estate concern is the Schnabel Investment Company, which place i its capitalization at 15000. and names C. J. Schnabel. K. A. Schnabel and J. F.

Botsford, E. M. Stcmme and C. K. Gilbert. Greene's Bail Is Reduced. W. H. Greene, who gave 'bonds in the sum of Jiono. following his arrest by the Federal authorities on suspicion of being in some way connected with the recent pogtoffice robberies, secured a reduction In his bail to $300 yesterday by Judge Wolverton upon recommendation of As sistant United States Attorney James Cole. Mr. Cole thought $.100 enough ball In Greene's case, as that amount cor responds to the amount furnished by an other suspect who, like Greene, had some of the stolen stamps in his possession. The Fire Department yesterday reinstated Greene to his former position with Chem ical No. 1. as a result of Its investigation of the charges against him.

SERMON BY DR. DRIVER Veteran Oregon Preacher Talks on "The Existence or God." S"' D. Driver spoke at the Grace Methodist Church last night on "The Existence of God." This Is the first of a series of meetings which will be he:d every evening at 7:45 throughout the week. Dr. Driver brought out that all nature other than man is a law unto itself, and that man alone needs these laws for his government. He said in part: "The seafowl never loses its way on the trackless deep. It is that mysteri ous something that men call instinct which directs its ways. But take a man's compass away from him and he Is lost. He. cannot find his' way, for he does not possess that mysterious instinct in a way that will enable him to navigate the deep without a law outside himself to guide him. "Who teaches the bee? Who teaches him to make his cell In a hexagonal shape, which scientist., tell - us Is - the only shape in which It could make the honey cell without losing space. The bee never makes the mistake of gathering even a little poison Instead of . honey from a flower: if it did we should pay the penalty with our lives. Scientists tell us that a bee cannot see.' What is It that directs him to the flower beds miles from his home? The beaver builds without line or plummet or rule, but man cannot. , "The- moral law shows defects in char acter, but it cannot remedy them any more than the line which shows the bumps on a log can make the log straight. "Here ' I : have been preaching for 4" years and still preach our hours "every Sunday, and I feel that I am as weil able to do it as some of your young ministers. At any rate. I don't have 'blue Monday,' , ae many of the young fellows 35 and 40 years old do. I could take a half dozen of them and do more work than they can. I consider the serv ice which I am in as a good one." Tonight : Dr. Driver will attempt to prove from a legal standpoint that -the-Bible is the word of God. He states he will answer any and all questions on Bible subjects which are . put to him. Other subjects to be considered are "Reve lation and Natural Necessity of the Hu man Mind."- ."Miracles" and ' "The Deiry of Christ." These talks promise to be of Interest, as many thoughts are presented which were brought out by Dr. Driver In his debates with Robert Ingersoll and James Watts, of England. Will Dedicate Xew Hall.
