It Is not believed the temperature will fall low enough to kill the fruit crop. Wet Snow In Sew York. NEW YORK. April 19. A cold east wind, accompanied by a gentle but steady fall of snow gave anything but a Spring like aspect to the. day. Snow began to fall about 7 o'clock and continued stead ily for several hours, but in the streets it disappeared as fast as It fell. The records of the Weather Bureau for the first IS days in April show that the temperature this month has been 44 decrees below the normal temperature for New York. DEMAND MADE FOR 8 HOURS TELLS DETAILS OF POLICE' GRAFT Employers Recently Granted a High er Wage Scale, but Declare They Cannot Afford to Concede a Shorter Day Crisis Majr. 1. Portland Is threatened with a strike of molders. in conjunction with a general strike of these employes throughout the Coast, which will close down every foun dry and machine manufacturing plant In this city. These workmen have presented their demand for an eight-hour day at the same wage they are now receiving, and threaten to walk out Slay 1 if the shorter day Is not granted. A' strike appears In evitable, since the employers declare they cannot afford to continue the present wage scale and concede a shorter work day. "Twenty-three of our boilermakers have walked out," said William H. Corbett, president and manager of the Willamette Iron & Steel Works, yesterday. "They demanded an Increase In the minimum wage from $3.75 to ft. We denied them the advance, which we cannot afford to pay. and they walked out. For the pres ent their places are being filled by help ers and the plant is being operated In all departments, although the output Is Bliphtly reduced. "Three months ago our molders struck for a minimum wage of $3.75 a day. This was conceded. Now they demand ' an eight-hour day, but we cannot make the concession. This class-of laborers Is thor oughly unionized, and we expect our men will walk out May 1. In conjunction with the general strike of these men that has been ordered on the Pacific Coast. If the molders quit work, the foundries of the city will probably be required to close down their plants when the supply of castings they have on hand Is exhausted. This would throw several hundred work men' out of employment." A strike by the molders, It is believed, would force the shutdown of the following plants: Portland Iron Works, Smith & Watson Iron Works, Phoenix Iron Works, Heacock & Lawrence, Oregon Foundry, National Foundry, and Columbia Steel Company. The effect of such a strike would also extend to numerous other smaller plants and machine shops, affect ing all classes of mechanics to the num ber of several hundred. Portland Men Well Paid. "The strike germ seems to be In the air," said an employer yesterday. "Mold ers employed In Portland are receiv ing 25 cents to 75 cents a day better wages than is being paid throughout the Kast. It is true that in San Francisco molders are receiving a minimum of $4 a day, hut it must be re membered that unparalleled Industrial ac tivity and a-scarcity of men are respon sible. Seattle pays a minimum of $3.26 with a maximum of $4.50, while Spokane gives a minimum of only $2.50 and a maximum of $3.75. The truth of the matter is, Portland employers are paying substantially as high wages for this class of work as any other Pacific Coast city, conditions Being considered. "Out of 1000 foundries In the United States, over are working on a 10-hour-day basis. Contracting shops are not working less than nine hours, with the exception of a few foundries operated by mining corporations In Montana, where the eight-hour day is enforced. At Los Angeles for nine hours' work the maxi mum wage paid molders ranees from tXSIM to $4, while the minimum wage Is "will .1D lO 44.13. Wages In Other States. In support of his contention that Ore gon employers are paying wares in ad vance of those paid In Eastern States, the employer referred to a printed circular showing the wages paid molders In every maie January j, last. He called at tention to wages paid In other states throughout the Bast in which many foun dries are operated. They were: Ala hama, from $1.50 to $3.75: Connecticut. 12 to $4; Illinois, $1.65 to $4; Indiana, $1.50 io Massachusetts, $2.25 to $3.50 Michigan, $2.25 to $3.50; Missouri, $2.50 to $3.75; New York. $1.75 to $4. "Wages in these states are based on from nine to ten hours' labor, never less than nine hours," continued the local lounnryman. "it is with the manufactur ers of those states that the Coast dealers nave to compete. Lnder nresent condi tlons this competition is keen enough and requires close figuring. For these reasons ii is odvious mat we cannot grant an ad vance In the wages of one class of our neip and reduce by one hour the work day of other classes, on their present pay, and continue competitive bidding with the products of the Eastern manu facturers, who are already getting labor for less money than we are obliirort to pay on the Coast. To continue granting ucmtiiius ior increased pay and a shorter day would result In forcing us to go out of the manufacturing business and convert our large plants into machine snops ior transacting a . local Jobbing Six Inches in Pennsylvania.

Criminal Was Regarded as Inured to Bullets Notorious Character Among the Italians. -NAPLES, April 19. News that Enrico Alfano, called "Enrlcone," head of the Camorra, has been arrested in New York, has produced a sensation. The population considered Alfano in the light of a demi god. : He was thought to be invulnerable to bullets and able at times to escape his pursuers, and he was invested with all the fantastic qualities of the medieval bandits. At one time Alfano was a well-known figure here. When atending to his crim inal business he used to drive about in his own carriage and he always dressed in the height of fashion.. He had a rival for the leadership of the Camorra in a man named Cuceolo, and to get him out of the way Alfano accused him to the police of being a spy. The Camorra then condemned both Cuceolo and his wife to death and they were brutally murdered. Alfano remained in Naples for some time after this murder, trying to cover up the tracks of the crime and deceive the police. In this he was not successful and when he finally realized his danger he fled to the United States. The authorities here are endeavoring to obtain the Bpeedy extradition of Alfano. southeastern pnovinces report? are com ing in of young women and girls forced to prostltuto themselves to obtain food For these suffering people relief mus be afforded during the whole of the coming year.

At the table with Lord Roberts sat Whltelaw Reid, Ameri can Ambassador; Sir Edward Grey, the Foreign Secretary; Lord Strathcona, the Canadian High commissioner; Alfred Deakln, Premier of Australia, and the Duke of Devonshire. The government was represented by a majority of the members of the Cabinet and in addition many of the most prominent men at the bar. in the church and in the commercial world sat down at the tables. Canada alone among the colonies was without a spokesman. ' The speakers were Sir Edward Grey, Alfred Deakln, Sir Joseph Ward, Premier of New Zeland; Alfred Lyttleton, T. W. Smart, Commissioner of Public Works for Cape Colony, who spoke for Dr. Jameson, who is 111: the Duke of Devonshire and Lord Roberts. Refers to American Mistake. Sir Edward Grey referred to the mistake Great Britain had made In her colonial policy in a former century and he was sure this would not be repeated. Lord Roberts and Mr. Smart spoke of the reunion of the Anglo-Saxon nations and reminded their hearers of Americans that were taking part in the celebra tions of the evening. Alfred Deakln dealt with international problems with straightforward words that undoubtedly will make the careful British diplomat shudder. He said it was a fact that the Colonial Office was farther from the colonies than the colonies from the Colonial Office and emphasised the claim that the colonies should be independent nations. He said It was "refreshing" to come to London and talk with the gov ernment face to face. He promised that Australia next year would Inaugurate a system whereby she could defend herself In the event of war without assistance from the mother country. Predicts War on Pacific. He emphasized the fact that the prob lems of Australia were not the problems of England, saying the mother country bad no Asiatic population as menacing rivals. Then, referring obv'ously to the German occupation of the New Hebrides, the Premier said he wished It to be noted that England had not allowed a rival European nation to secure a foothold close to Australia without a warning from Australia. While the British navy had not been called on in a test of sea supremacy during the past century, the speaker said this would happen In the next hundred years. Without mentioning nations by name, he predicted pointedly that there would be war lor tne suprem acy of the Pacific with Germany and Japan.
