BUT STILL IN A DEADLOCK Neither Side Will Accept Proposal of Other. "DICTATION," SAY UNIOH. HEN They Object to. Employer Xamlng the Board Contractor Will Sab lalt Wku bat Xot Unionism, to Consideration. Though arbitration 1 apparently de sired by both tb union men and tb contractors, neither end will accept the proposal made by the other taction. "We cannot accept the contractor plan. It would be dictation, not arbi tration," la the aentlment ot the labor lexers. On the other iand. the con tractor aay that they have a proposal loolcinr toward an amicable settlement, and that It the union will not accept thl, present condition will continue. No .answer 1111 be made to .the proposal of the association of Matter Painters and Master Builders published In yesterday's Oregonian. This was that a board of ar bitration, composed of five men. Mayor Williams, Judge C . jieiunger, v. "Ladd. Tvler "Woodward and Robert Liv ingstone, should decide all differences be tween the unions and their employers as to wages, but that It must be understood that the union men must agree to work with nonunion men hereafter. The union men will not agree to any board of arbitration whose members are entirely elected by the employers. The resolutions adopted by the mass meeting Friday evening propose that three union mn hit selected by the president of the Building Trades Council, and that Mayor Williams request tne contractors iu tuvun three of their number. These six men are to rhons& a frcventh. Th. nreittdent of the Building Trades Council has not yet selected the union representatives. The resolutions have not yet been presented to Mayor V.HUams, nd h has taken no steps toward bring ing the contractors to agree to this form of arbitration. The, contractors and the union leaders did nothlnc further toward arbitration i-M.terd.ir. Each side was busily discuss in- the nrorjonal of the other. Early In the day the union men decided not to ac cept the proposition or tne aiasier ouuq era' ana Master "ajnters amuuauuuu. Xut Arbitration bnt Dlctntlon. Their plnn Is not arbitration at all; It is dictation." said M. u. ureene, oust Tins ajrent of the Building Trades Coun clL G. T. Harry, president of the Ore gon State Federation of Labor, paid exact, lv the same thing. "We must have i chance to name a part of the board, other wise we will have no show at all," said Mr. Greene. "I do not object to the men named by the associations, but It would bo a verr peculiar arbitration board If one side named all the member. The res olutions adoptid at last night's meeting shows thilt the union men are willing to give the contractors the opportunity to name their own representatives. This the contractors will not give to us, according to the scheme published this morning. "We haven't had any answer yet from the unions." said w. R. Griffith, a mem- ber of the subcommittee of the executive board cf the Master Builders' Association. which with the association of painting con tractors drew up one plan of arbitration Friday. "Do vou think they will accept the pro- poral of the arsoclatlon. Mr. GrlrothT "That's a hvrd question to answer. "We have shown that we are willing to orb! trate, and if they will not accept our plan then no one can say that we hare held out without being willing to arbitrate the Question. "If they will not oocept your proposil do you think that the associations would be willing to abide by the scheme adopted at the meeting last evening?" Stand by Their Proposal. That's n still harder question. As say, we have made our proposal, and If they will not taka It we can do little more." Wllllitn Sheehy. a. member of the sub committee of tbe Master Painters' Asso ciation, would not say that the associa tions would be -willing to accept the pro posal of the Building Trades Council that each side should name three men. "We haven't beard what they think of our plan." said he. "Mr. Sheehy. do you believe the asso ciations will asree to arbitration accord lng to tbo plan suggested at last night tncetlrurr asked the reporter. "Well, we have made our proposal, so It's up to them sow. said the painter. Other contractors say that they will never agree to anything more tban an ar bitration of the wage question. As out lined In the statement Issued by the two associations Friday, the arbitration board cannot touch upon the, subject or union- ;tn. If arbitration 1 employed, it must be with the understanding that the union trien are to agree to wortt by the side of nonunion men. The minimum scale may be arbitrated advanUgeouily. they think, but the board must cot uphold the union mm In refusing to work with nonunion men. Will Not Abandon Unionism. AU the members of the building trades anions asked on this point laugh ot the Idea that they will agree to anything of the kind. "Why. that Is one ofour con stitutional rules and cannot beXbroken. Some of the contractors have bcVn glad enough at different times for thoi same constitutional rules, but now. whe they win go us gooo, instead of them. thcV as us to break them. That proposal ot theirs Is nothing but dictation." mi 13 me sentiment or a Business agent -of one of the unions affected. "y ax nothing more than that a boird f arbitration be composed of an equal num ber of representatives of both sides. Thl contractors want to name the board, and r7." ,.. ht nolnts the board can decide upon. They mlght give m the minimum scile of wages, bat if ticy lr- j listed that we should work beside non- ; n would show ourselves to be suckers ever to try arbitration -of that kind." A number of business men. among" them several building dwellings, were asked II ther thought the question could be set tled on tbe .proposal of the contractors. The general sentiment was that the arbl. t ration board should consist cf men pained equally by both sides. "Why, you certainly can t expect the unions to go into anything of that "kind," said one man who Is building a number ot houses on the East Bide. "The men named by the contractors are all right, of course. but the other party should name an equal number, or It Isn't very much like arbitra tion." "Obstinacy," Says Mayor -Williams. "It Is only obstinacy that prevent suc cessful arbitration." said Mayor Wil liams yesterday. "I have not received anything from the union men as to their proposed arbitration. As to the proposal of the contractors. I think that the men they named would give the union side fair bearing. The two a io.es must quickly be brought together in arbitra tion oeiore me Dunnes oi uie luwa ,ia Injured." Mayor Williams was among the fjrst to propose arbitration. "I will favor that side which Inclines tbe more toward ar bitration." he has said on several occa sions. He has declared bis willingness to serve on a board ot arbitration, either In his official capacity as Mayor ot the city or as a private citizen. Both sides have signified their willing ness to arbitrate the matter, and It now remains but to select the manner and the men who are to compose the board." said the Mayor last evening; "The two parties have made proposals which per haps will serve as a groundwork for an other proposal If neither plan Is accept able." Union Men Show Surprise. The proposition of the Master Build ers' and Master Painters Associations came as a surprise to the majority of the union men. "I expected something of the kind, but had no Idea, what plan they would suggest." said several union leaders when questioned. It was agreed before the mass meeting that resolutions proposing arbitration would be adopted. and the more In that direction was noth ing new to those concerned. Apparently tbe contractors concluded that as the union men were about to propose arbi tration they should fall in line, and the statement published yesterday morning was the result of a Joint meeting of the two associations.

A diplomat at Washlnrton explains that Russia Is In the habit ot aaklnc for the maximum and afterwards mak ing concession, and that she will doubtless yield larre privileges to American commerce. WASHINGTON', April 2S. Having heartl from the President, Secretary Hay is now In a position to act respecting the Man- churlan matter. Indeed, he has J ready taken the first steps, although tor obvious reasons it Is not deemed well to indicate their nature. But the broad statement Is made that the Department of State Is doing what It regards as necessary to meet the Issue. It is made quite plain, however, to avoid misunderstanding ot dispatches from foreign capitals referring' to the United States, that this Government will join in no general protest against Russian action. The State Department policy Is so clearly deflnted In such matters that the officials assume that it Is understood that what ever action tbe United States takes will be Individual. It is true, that it may run parallel to the action of other powers similarly Interested, but there will be no entangling alliance between United States and those powers. In diplomatic circles developments re garding, the Chinese situation are anxious ly awaited. It I expected by the repre sentatives of the powers that Great Brit ain and Japan will act In harmony with the United States-ln the tatter's demand on China not to yield to the latest Rus sian demand. The Russian government. It Is said In diplomatic circles, justifies her course In Manchuria on the ground that Manchuria Is embraced within her sphere of Influence In China, and contends that It Is wholly within her rights to Impose certain condi tions before withdrawing from that terri tory In order to safeguard her interests there. There Is no apprehension amon the representatives of the powers that Manchurtan affairs will lead to anything beyond diplomatic exchanges.

April 21 The armored cruiser Colorado was launched today at Cramps shipyard In the presence of a distinguished gathering ot oOcials from Washington and the State of Colorado, including ' its entire Congressional delegation. Miss Cora May Peabody, daughter or Governor Peabody, of" Colo rado, broke the bottle of wine on the prow of the cruiser as she 'glided down the ways at 1133 and Into the Delaware River. After the launching the Invited guests were banqueted by the Cramp! Company. Covers were laid for 10CO persons. The Washington; guests returned to the capital during the afternoon. The cruiser Colorado Is of a new class of vessels, added to the American Navy. She Is an armored cruiser of the first class, yet she bears the name of a state, an honor formerly only accorded battles hi pe. "Coupled with tremendous battery power, she has the speed of an ocean liner. The vessel Is COS feet long. 59 feet i Inches wide, with a draught of ! feet t Inches. Her speed requirement calls for 22 knots an hour for four consecutive hours. She Is fitted with twin screws, twin, triple-expansion engines, which must develop 3.000 -indicated horsepower. All of the armor Is of the most improved Krupp type. Tbe fighting force of the Colorado Is centered principally in two batteries. She will carry a main battery of four . up-to-date S-lnch and 11 6-lnch rapid-fire rifles; a secondary battery of' IS t-pounders, and 12 J-pounders; and a supplemental force of eight l-foanders, two held pieces, two machine guns, and six automatic guns for service on' the bridges and In the tops. Tbe 8-Inch guns are designed to Are once every SO seconds, and the S-lnch suns are.expected to Are three times a minute.

State Department today, while primarily for another purpose, fumlehed film an. opportunity to discuss Russia's action ,at some length with Mr. Hay. From Ger many no qffldal advices have "been re ceived either at the State Department or at the Embassy regarding the attitude of the Berlin government, but the under standing is general In the diplomatic corps that Russia has nothing to" appre hend from" Germany "In the stand she baa taken-in Manchuria. Both Count Casstnl and Baron von.-.Sternberg were in Pekln together and they owe their diplomatic careers largely to the sagacity they hare shown In the handling of the Chinese question. Russia and Germany, It Is ad mitted, have a thorough understanding relative to China, and while It may not be necessary for the Berlin government to come openly to the support ot the Russian demands at this time, the other powers will be permitted to see dearly that Germany la not hostile to Russia's plans. If asked by the powers to Join. In a note of "protest against Russia's conduct Germany" reply will probably be that her. Interests demand thaC she remain neutral. Alllnnce "With Britain -Broken. -It can be stated on authority that, de spite the seeming harmony which existed between Germany and Great Britain In the Venezuelan Imbroglio, the unpopu larity of the Anglo-German alliance be came so acute at one time that Jt looked as If an open rupture would occur. Be cause of the belief allowed to- gain ground In the United 8tates that Germany had proposed the alliance, the Berlin govern ment, it Is said, made representations to London that, unless the London authori ties corrected this Impression. It would be necessary to publish the correspond ence on the subject. Another result of the unpopularity of this alliance was the breaking of Great Britain with the Bag dad railway agreement. Into which she had entered with Germany, and In which France was also heavily interested. This again Increased the gulf , between Great Britain and Germany, at the same time giving Germany and France & common cause for animosity against Great Britain. 'Russia has. viewed with Increasing sat isfaction," said a European diplomat to day, "the growing friction between Ger many and Great Britain, and. If the truth were known. It would be seen that she had lost no opportunity to Increase this bad feeling. At the same time. Russia Is not desirous ot Incurring the animosity ot the United-States. While the Initial Russian demand In Manchuria la that no more Manchurtan ports or .towns be opened, there Is ground for the belief that this demand will not be permanent. Great Britain Is naturally losing no time la pointing out that the first demand Is In tended as a f4ap at trie UMt$d States. It must be remembered.- however1, that Russia was never shown the text ot the Chinese-United States agreement .In which the latter asks for certain' .open ports In Manchuria. Consequently Russia has no official knowledge of this agree ment. Concessions to America. "When the United States protests lndi vidually, as It Is expected she will. Russia will be prepared to make certain conces- sesslons to American trade in Man' churta. which Is really America's only vital Interest In the matter. This concession will satisfy the United States, thus leaving Great Britain and Japan alone in their protest. Russia and the United States have been traditional friends, and, while on their face the Manchurtan developments seem to be un favorable to the United States. It should be remembered that Russia's policy Is to demand everything in sight and then to make intelligent concessions. It may be expected, therefore, that the result of Mr. Hay's note of protest for Intelligent con cessions to the United States In Man churia will, while giving advantages to American trade, still leave the Russians In possession of that territory."

April S. In a 15-mile beat - to windward down Karragansett Bay, out to sea, and a long run before the wind back to her moorings here, the Reliance, the new aiiplrant'fbr the honor of defending the America's cup. -was given her first builder's trial -today. At Its conclusion, C Oliver Iselln. the mancav lng member of the syndicate ot owners. said he was much pleased with the new boat. The weather conditions were perfect. In a 12-knot southwester, whether close- hauled Jn the beat down tbe bay or on a broad- reach with the wind abeam or running free under spinnaker, she ren dered a splendid account of herself and gave abundant promise of being a formid able candidate In the trials for the choice of a cud defender. Her nerfnrmsnee iimnn,mi that .. spite the apprehension that sho would be stiff because of her supposed scow-like features, she seemed to heel readily and easily to her sailing lines In a very moderate breeze. Once down to these lines, she refused to heel further, giv ing evidence of the power Which her broad, flat-floored hull was designed to Impart. She was quick to come about, averaging about 27 seconds In, stays, made some fuss under her bow at' times, and steered with only one man at the helm. Designer Nat Herreshotf and Captain Charles Barr alternated at the wheel. The party on board Included C. Oliver Iselln. William Butler Duncan. Jr., New bury Thorn e, E. D. Morgan, Lewis Cass Led yard, William B. Leeds. Woodbury Kane. J. Frederick Tarns and Fleet Cap tain C. L. F. Robinson. She was fol lowed throughout the trial by Ther tender, the Sunbeam, and William B. Leeds' steam yacht Naomi, the latter carrying a party. While the Reliance was lying at her mooring, off .Newport the Columbia. re- turned from her trial spins, but did. not join the Reliance for e. test ot speed. Mr. Iselln announced that the Reliance would be, taken out for another trial to-. I morrow afternoon. Yachtsmen are hop ing that the Columbia, which. Is now lying- at Newport, will accompany her on the next trial and. an opportunity be afforded to compare the sailing; qualities of the two yachts; Advantage otLoag Overhang. It js clear from the Reliance s per formances, today, that under fair sailing conditions she will derive whatever ad vantage there is In the added sailing length In her long overhang forward and aft. Her after overhang aukkly touched, the water whensshe heeled but she seemed to carry her bow consider ably higher. Her stem seemed to slide "over the surface rather than to cut through' It, and the slight splashing at the bow did not appear to .retard ber. So far as could be noied, without op portunity to compare her with the Co lumbia or the Constitution, she carried ber larger spread of canvas' easily, stand ing up well to the puffs.. Although, tbe two steering, "wheels Indi cate that Designer Herreshotf anticipated trouble -In steering, her, nothing of the kind was manifested today.. At no time was there more than one man at the wheel, and the Reliance responded quick ly to her helm. It was repeatedly re marked that she pointed very close to the wind, and although her main sheet was trimmed In flat, she seemed to sail fast under these conditions. AS SEES FROM THE SnORE. Like All Herreshotf Yachts, She Fnt In Light Wind. QUAKER HILL. PORTSMOUTH. R. t. April 25. The trial sail ot the Reliance was observed from this point. When the yacht anally swung away from her moor- tags she was .under mainsail, topsail and Jib, and was headed towards Hog Island lighthouse. The staysail was soon broken out. and later a Jib topsail was also set. The Reliance seemed rather stiff, for. while the heavy mainsail boom and gaff swung -well off the port side, she had scarcely any beeL When the sail was set for the first time this morning It was evident that Captain Barr did not like the set 'of It exactly., so it was lowered and the foot hauled out a bit on the boom. Then the sail .was again hauled up. the crew working hard to get It taut luff. That part ot the; sail set fairly well, but the leach flapped badly. The Reliance war an hour .getting, outil of the harbor, and while she was drifting along the crew -changed the working top sail for a very small club topsail. At QM the wind strengthened a bit, and trimming In her sheet the Reliance bead ed out Into Jiarrigansett Bay. It -was a' little, beat down to Prudence Island; about bait a doseu 'short hitches were made. In the light air the Reliance tacked Inside of 20 seconds with eas and ghthered "headway "very quickly". As she slipped along' there appeared scarce ly a ripple- astern, so clean did she leave tbe water. She had all of tbe Herre shotf characteristics- of moving .fast in very light breeies. With the exception of the mainsail her sails nlled fairly fast. The slackening of the .malnsill--alang; the' leach seemed due to a considerable ex tent to the absence of battens. . Other big I yachts bare carried three or four. SUU J the Reliance's sail was badly puckered along the foot and It looked" as It it would have to be altered. Before tbe Reliance reached Prudence Island the wind had worked around to the southwest and increased to about four miles an hour. Although the wind was light and shitting It looked from shore as If the Reliance sailed within four points ot it. Tbe flat floor forward ap peared to kick back quite a little water. so that there was considerable fuss under her bows. But at this time the boat was not heeled much, in fact, stiffness In light airs promised to prove a character istic By 11:3) the yacht had worked down as far as the south end of Prudence Island. tacking fast and making great progress In tbe light air.

ALLIANCE. Neb.. April 23. President Roosevelt completed a hard day with l minutes stop at Alliance. Captain Seth Buller, superintendent of the Black. Hills Forest Reserve, who Joined, the President at Gardiner yesterday, left the train here. "President Roosevelt, who has great ad miration for Captain Buller. Invited him to accompany him on his trip to the .Coast; but Captain Buller was forced to decline the Invitation. During the day the Presl- dent traveled in three states and made a number of addresses, both from the rear platform of his car and from' stands erect ed for the" purpose. The demonstration of the day that un doubtedly pleased the President most was. the cowboy show at Edgernont, S. D. The . demonstration was arranged by the Soci ety of Black Hills Pioneers, and conristed" or exhibitions -or cowboys riding. Special trains brought In a large crowd from tbe surrounding ccuhtry, and they were all at the station with their bands of music to greet the President. As his train pulled In the cowboys let out-a yell, the band played and a salute was fired. Cowboys on Bnckintr-Horses. The exhibition stand was but a short distance from the station, and after ih6 President had made an address the. boys began to mount the bucking horses. Only horses that would buck were ridden by the cowboys. The President partook 6f luncheon at tne mess wagon. The only disappointment of the day was the failure of the prize bucking horse of that section to perform. This horse has a record as a champion bucker, and few people cah ride him. Today, however, he was as gentlo as a k",tten. and a greenhorn would never hare had much trouble In keeping on his back. Why the bucking horse did not buck will be a mooted question In Edge rnont for a long time to, come. At the close of the exercises the cowboys formed on escort to the train, and. after it had started, they dashed alongside the Presi dent's car, and he shook hands with many of them from the window. In his speech at Alliance the President referred to the honor accomplished by tho early pioneers. Horror to the Trnil-Blnsers. 'Honor to all good citizens.' he said. "but honor most of all to the men who took the lead In taming; the shaggy wil derness, to the trail-blazers, to the men who first marked out that earliest of high ways, the spotted line, the blazed trail: tbe men who first on horseback steered across the great lonely plains and drove their cattle up to feed upon the range from which the buffalo had not yet van ished. To you "from the Black Hills who, coming here In 1S76, or at a time immedi ately around that date, hare developed the wonderful mines ot that region, hare built up In what was then an, Indian haunt, a wilderness, cities like Dead wood and Leadvllle, It has fallen to your lot to see one of the great epoch feats of the country. You are among that body ot men who conquered a continent for a race and a people; who did your full share In making the 13th century the most wonder ful upon which the sun has ever shone. The pioneer days have gone, but the need of the old pioneer virtues remains tho same as ever. You won. and you could only win because you had In you tbe stuff out of which strong men are made. In the days of 1S78 here In the Black Hills the room for tbe weakling or the coward was small, and now the man who will do decent work here must be the man that has got the stuff In him." At Newcastle, Wyo., where a half-hour stop was-made early In the day,, the Presi dent was escorted to the speaker's stand along a pathway strewn with flowers and lined on one side by school children, who wared miniature flags and seemed to en Joy the President's speech as much as their elders. The stand from which ha spoke was gayly decorated, a stuffed bear and deer standing on either side and. a large stuffed eagle surmounting It. "Wyoming's Worlc for Irrigation. In opening his address the President said he wished publicly to express his ac knowledgement of the way In which the Wyoming Senators and Congressmen co operated with him In Washington. He re ferred to the Irrigation law passed at the last session of Congress, and said he be lieved much good would" come from It. as the Government will be able' to undertake enterprises which it cannot, be expected m : .
