V 10 COURT DECLINES TO ENJOIN STRIKE Judge Kavanaugft Holds Mount Hood Line Hasn't Proved Property Destruction. LAWYERS CLASH OFTEN C. W. "niton. R-pr-K-nUD)C nail war. Calls Adorn W. M. Davis Petti foe cr and DlArace. Manx Affidavits Filed. rrid!n Judics Karanaugh refused yesttrdsr afternoon to make pcrman nt an order Issued last week tempor arlly restraining striking linemen from Interfertnc with employes of the Mount Hood Railway Power Company, who have taken their places. The question cam op on an order to the union men to show cause why the Injunction should not be mad permanent. The proceeding was enlivened by hitter verbal warfare between C Fulton, appearing for the company. and T. il. Davis, re predentin the strikers. Attorney Davis declared that the Southern Pacific and all the cor porations of the city are assisting In the effort to break the linemen's strike and referred to Mr. Fulton as an t'nlted States Senator who was seek ing; to grind down laboring men un der the Iron heel of oppression. Attorneys' Cla.h Bitter. Senator Pulton retaliated by refer ring to Mr. Davis as a pettifogger and deraagocue and a disgrace to the legal profession. Attorney Davis. Mr. Ful ton asserted, was leading astray men who otherwise would be peaceful and law-abiding American cltlsens and only for the purpose of collecting his fee. When Mr. Davis attempted to stem the torrent of wrath which Senator Fulton was pouring forth. Mr. Fulton turned to him several times and re marked: "I'm not talking to you. sir." The two attorneys clashed again when Mr. Davis Insisted on referring to the strikebreakers as "scabs." Sen ator Fulton railed upon Judge Ka va ns ujc h to order his opponent to desist from the use of she term. Attorney Davis read the definition of the word from Webster's dictionary and declared that If there was any apology to bo made It should bo demanded from the publishers and compilers of the dic tionary. Judge Kavanaugh refused to Interfere and Mr. Davts continued us ing the term wtth great vehemence ail through his address to the court. Company' Showing Lacking. la giving Ms decision Judge Kava naugh referred to the Supremo Court lectslon to the effect that Injunctions hould be Issued with extreme caution. II held that the company had failed to show destruction of property and said be had no right to presum that the police officials, who had reported that pollr protection was not neces sary to the company and the magis trates who had acquitted almost a core of the strikers brought befor them, had been remiss lr their duty. He cautioned the strikers not to In dulge la acts of violence and to refrain from using epithets and advised them that the only way to win -a stiik la to conduct It peaceably. Senator Fulton presented fully J af fidavits signed by business man and employe of the company setting forth that the strikers had been guilty of acts of violence. Attorneys Fa ire 11 and Davis filed- a sheaf of counter affi davits la which the onion men denied that they had been the aggressors and laid all the responsibility on the shoulders of the strikebreakers, wbo were referred to aa "hired thugs." Business Men Attacked. Attorney Davis attacked the business men who had signed the affidavits pre sented by the company, declaring that they are men who earn their liveli hoods throarh corporation favor and who are. to his personal knowledge, al ways ready to do anything to curry favor with the corporations. He re ferred to several of them by nam. Senator Fulton said h had no ob jection to the strikers doing picket work. AU he asked of the court, he aid. was an Injunction restraining 'the onion men from using vile and opprobrious epithets and resorting to violence. Attorney Farrell declared that I strikers have been tried with out a conviction and that two strike breakers have been held to the grand Jury, on for cutting off a pickets nos with an az hurled from a distance of 1 feet and the second for burying aa as In a striker's leg. Police Laxity Alleged. The union men's attorneys asserted that Mayor Rushlight. Pollc Commis sioner Coffey. Acting-Chief of Pollc Slover and various other officials bav vainly Importuned C. B. Smith, gen eral manager of th Mount Hood Com pany. to treat with th men. On of th affidavits, signed by a foreman of the company, declared that on of th strikebreakers, W. E. Stan ton, had been Intimidated by a striker, named Dodge. Into quttlng bis Job and leaving th city on ten hours' notice. In all of th affldavlta It Is said that th pollc had not only refused to In terfere to protect th strikebreakers but had actually encouraged th onion men In thslr alleged acta of lawless ness. Attorney Davis told th court that th company had violated th verbal contract with th union men as soon as they bad saved a valuable light franchise by getting th wires con nected op IS minutes befor th con tract tlm expired. Many- of th line men had. he said, worked If to X hours a day to get th power to Al ters Bros.' mill on time. He also as serted that th men had been paid only tlm and a half for overtime In th fac of an agreement that thay were to be credited with doubl tlm. That's what you might expect." said Senator Fulton, when Attorney Far rell was making frequent reference to the fact that th strikers had been acquitted la th municipal and Justice of th Peace courts.
