Forty Chines helpers who remained at work fn th Southern Pacific shops whan tha machinists and their affil iated craftsmen walked out In that city, wer th only persons today who were apprehensive of trouble as a re sult of th strike. Thejr remained cowering In th yards, but elsewhere the outlook waa all for peace. Th special police patrolling outside th stockade had 'nothing to do but contemplate the rows of quiet work men's cottagea facing th shops which now ar occupied by unemployed strllt ara. The striker In their regular Sun day meeting at Labor Tempi wer ad dressed by their leaders. The public and press were barred from the meet ing and only a general statement of what transpired within was given out. With th McXamara trial less than two weeks away, those In charge of th strike said they would make every possible effort to prevent any demon strations by th strikers.

Shop foremen, noting on Instructions from operating- officials, will make an effort to resume activity this morning following th usual Saturday and Sun day idleness. The gates will swing open at S o'clock to admit any workers who ar ready to take up their old positions. This will be th crucial point of th struggle. Labor, leaders are urging their men to remain firm. They de clare that they have tha strlk won if the strikers hold out two weeks. The roads will not be able to operate with defective motive power and equip ment, and they declare that cars, as well ss engines, are sure to become defective after the first run If they are not given attention. Picket t rue gtrlke. After a canvass of the situation yes terday local officials of the O.-W. R. N. Co. decided that fully 35 per cent of thelr.regular employe will be ready to go back to work today. The union pickets will take the names of sll men who enter the gates. They will en deavor to stop them and to persuade them to remain on strike. The fact that they are entitled to a benefit suf ficient to sustain them In comfort af ter the first week of idleness will be pointed out to them. On the other hand, the promise of steady employment at regular wages will be held out by th railroad man agers. If danger is threatened th men who go on duty will be accommo dated Inside the plants. Beds and bed clothing have been taken into ' the shops and equipment is on hand to set up a kitchen and restaurant for the men. For a period of ten days, at least, no effort will be made to break th strike In Portland. For that length of time the railroad officials will not give official recognition to the strike. They will conduct th shops on th theory that no strike exists. Many Mrs Available. How long they can maintain this In dependent attitude depends entirely upon the ability of engines and cars t resist the -ravages of constant us without expert attention. The offi cials believe that they will obtain enough deserters from th ranks of the strikers to make all necessary repairs to worn or damaged machinery. For the past months booking aaencies. both here and in Chicago, have been registering men who are willing and able to take the places of the strikers. A large number have been enlisted here, but if this number Is not sufficient, a trainload of com petent men can be gathered In Cnica go and started for Portlsnd in less than three hours,' say th railroad people. Harrlman officials declare the strike unreasonable and devoid of a sincere motive, but the union men point out that the prinolple involved determines their existence. "It Is merely a question of whether our organisation shall live or whether Its life shall be crushed out," ex plained one of the men yesterday. "We Insist that the Harrlman road shall deal with us as a federation and not as Individual unions. Equal Right Demanded. "It would be essy for them to do about as they pleased with the separ ate organizations. With our five unions combined for the purpose of dealing with our employers we are strong enough to meet them on terms more nearly equal to their own strength." That there Is nothing unreasonable In the attitude of the strikers is the declaration of C. R. Merrill, who rep resents the machinists on th commit tee of union men conducting th strike In Portland. ' Merrill points out that agreements similar to those asked by the Harrl man shopmen are In force on a-number of roads. Including the Missouri Pacific. Denver A Rio Grande and oth ers of the Oould system, the Rock Isl snd. the Chicago Alton and others. The Denver & Rio Grande also has granted an eight-hour day, which question Is not involved In the present controversy. Peasloa System Rapped. The pension system maintained by th Harrlman lines is bitterly assailed by the strikers. They say that none of their members has ever been placed on pension and charge that In a num ber of instances men hav been dis charged after serving to within a few months of the time when they became eligible for pensions. The payments are so small that a mBn cannot depend upon them as a means of livelihood in old age, they mmy "A complicated compilation of technicalities.- Is what a disatlsfle4 machinist yesterday termed the pen sion arrangement. Hesdauarters for the five striking organisations hav been opened on the third floor of the Labor Temple at Fourth and Alder streets. Members of the committee are In constant attend ance and ar preparing to conduct tne strike on a business basis. The rooms wer crowded all day yesterday with strikers and their sympathizers. NEW ORDERS EXPECTED i Kirt Infantry May Go to Alaska or Panama, Sr McGnnneRle. VANCOUVER BARRACKS, Wash.. Oct. L (Special.) There is a possi bility that the First Infantry, which is now under orders to go to the Philip pines in March, may be sent either to Alaska or Panama. The First Infan try hss not been In either of these places, although It hss been In th Phil- POeorge K. McQunftegle. Colonel of the First Infantry and commanding officer of th post, said today: "Changes are being made in the forces in the Philip pines, which will probably not affect the troops In Vancouver Barracks. It is the idea of Major-General Wood. Commander-in-Chief of th Army, to reduce the number of regiments in the Islands, and at the ram time keep up the full quota of enlisted men there. "Several companies are slated ahead of the First Infantry to go to the Philippines, and 'after our term here expires we may be sent to Panama or Alaska. "In the Islands now are the Second. Seventh, Eighth and Fourteenth Cav alry regiments, and the Third. Sixth, Seventh. Ninth, Twelfth, Nineteenth and Thirty-first Infantry, while the Thirteenth Infantry is under orders to sail for the Philippines today. Besides the cavalry and infantry companies mentioned there ar several light field artillery batteries and mountain bat teries. . , -When the plan of General Wood Is put into effect, it will obviate th ne cessity of maintsining so many regi ments in the .Philippines, at th same time keeping there the same number of enlisted men by recruiting the service. Whether the regiments to bo with drawn will be taken from the cavalry, infantry or both has not yet been de cided." DENEEN CALLS SESSION ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE TO COX .SIDER WATERWAYS. Deliberation Limited to This Subject Unless Governor Deneen De cides to Enlarge Powers. SPRINGFIELD. 111.. Oct. 1, (Special.) The special session of th 47th Gen eral Assembly of Illinois, which took a recees late in June, will reconvene today. But one subject of legislation, deep waterways, was named in Governor De neen's call for the special session. No other subject may be taken up unless the call is amended. Governor Deneen hss been urged to enlarge the call to Include Initiative and referendum legislation and an ap propriation for the Illinois public util ity commission. It is said Governor Deneen favors enlarging the call or. Issuing another for a second special session which cannot be called until the present one adjourns. The tangle is aggravated by the fact that the anti-Deneen members are opposed to adjourning the special session until the Lorlmer case finally is disposed of at Washington.
