The nine large steam laundries of the
city shut down last night lor an in
definite time. The Laundry Workers'
Union has been locked out. Soiled col
lars and shrirts -will hereafter be the
fashion.
The reason given by the proprietors of
the establishments for their lockout is
that they cannot guarantee their cus
tomers a prompt return of packages.
Pending a settlement of the threatened
strike the union could guarantee only
that Its members -would work until last
evening. The troubles of the union have
in the meantime been taken up in the
Federated Trades Council, and the griev
ance committee visited the laundries yes
terday morning. ,
The employers who comprise the Port
land Laundrymen's Association appar
ently had little faith in the power of the
committee from the council to settle all
difficulties, and yesterday a notice was
posted in the various laundries announc
ing that they would be shut down at the
end of the day.
The notice was the result of a meeting
of the Portland Laundrymen's Associa
tion at noon yesterday. Representatives
of the nine steam laundries comprising
the association were present, and the
following official announcement was
prepared:
T3ie Employer' Statement.
"The Portland Laundry Association has
been compelled to issue the notice be
cause a week ago today we asked our
employes that they should work until
tonight. May 2. On their part they re
quested us to give them a written guar
antee to that effect, which wo did. and
In return we requested that this written
guarantee would be signed by those hav
ing: authority to sign for the Laundry
workers' Union. They refused to sign
the agreement, but the president of the
Laundryworkers' Union guaranteed to us
that they would work until tonight, but
would not guarantee to work any longer.
"Under the existing conditions we did
not feel at liberty to make any promises
to our customers and patrons guarantee
ing them that we could receive and de
liver their laundry after that date, and
we were compelled to notify our patrons
to that effect.
"In regard to the controversy between
ourselves and our employes, we have used
every honorable method to have this ad
justed, and have offered to meet our em
ployes more than half way In their de
mands. At 10 o'clock this morning Mr.
Gurr, of -the Federated Trades, called
upon us and stated that arrangements
could be made to guarantee that our em
ployes would work one week longer. It
was Impossible for us to change our plans,
as the notice reached us entirely too late
to give us time to protect our customers
and trade."
Immediately after the workers in the
different laundries were astonished to
Bee the following notice posted conspicu
ously upon the wall In each establish
ment: "Notice Owing to our Inability to guar
antee to our patrons prompt delivers' of
work intrusted to us. we have decided to
close our plants Saturday evening. May
2, for an indefinite time."
"Why. that means that we'll be locked
out tonight," was the chorus from the
laundry girls, who gathered about the
notice which meant so much to them.
The officers of the union were as much
surprised as any one. One of tho promi
nent men of the union was asked Friday
evening after the meeting: of the Fed
erated Trades Council as to the truth
of the report that the laundries were
about to shut down.
"There's no more in it than in the
rumor that we will strike tomorrow,
Eald he emphatically.
That tho week's work could be finished
fend delivered to the customers all the
laundries affected ran full blast until a
Hate hour last evening. Friday night
many of them ran until 10 o'clock. All
customers were notified yesterday that no
more washing would be received.
Mne-HoBr Day the Cause.
The trouble has arisen over the de
xnand of the Shirt, Waist and Laundry-
workers' Union for a nine-hour day. The
members of the employers association
say that to this is added a request for
a 10 per cent advance in wages. The
officers of the union state that this was
requested at first, but that it having
been refused, no further demand was
made along- that line. "It's Just nine
hours that we ask for, together with last
year's wage scale," said one of the offi
cers when the strike In the laundries
was first talked of. Neither side will
furnish a copy of the demand made by
the union.
"Our laundries will not start up again
until we can guarantee our customers
that prompt deliveries will be made.
When the union can guarantee that we
can do this, they may go to work again."
This is the statement made by John Talt,
treasurer and manager of the Troy Laun
dry. "Will you try to run with nonunion
help?"
"No; not in any case." We will simply
shut down this 'evening until we know
Just what the union will do."
"Have you been notified that a commit
tee from the Federated Trades Council
would attempt to settle the difficulty?"
"All the union men told us was that
they would work until this evening-. They
said that after the meeting: the other
night Mr. Gurr, who I understand is a
xnember of the grievance committee of
the council, called here this morning, and
Bald that last evening was the first time
he had heard of an Investigation being
required." ,
"Would you accept the decision made'
by the Council. Mr. Talt?"
"Well, from the experience we had last
year with the Federated. Trades Council,
we are not very anxious to get any more
swer of the laundryman. t ' ,i
The laundries which compose the Port- j
land Laundry men" a Association .are thej
Troy, City, Portland, American, Star.
Oregon, Union Opera-House and Pacific !
These plants have for years represented
the entire steam laundry business of the
city.
The sole exception to the membership
of the association Is the United States
Laundry. which made Its first appearance
four weeks ago. This laundry is not a
member of the association, nor has 1
signed any agreement with the union.
Union help is employed throughout, low-
ever, and the union officers hope that tne
managers will soon be persuaded to sign
with them.
Manager James FInley, of the United
States Laundry, has outlined the attitude
of his concern in the following -written
statement for the benefit of all concerned:
Only Laundry at "Work.
"Ever since the United States Laundry
commenced operation unlike the other
steam laundries of Portland, we have
never signed any agreement recognizing
the Laundry Workers' Union, the Laun
dry Drivers' Union, or the Portland Laun
dry -Association. We have granted our
employes. In houra and wages, more than
the laundry workers ask for, notwith
standing the fact that we never recog
nized their union, and we have been con
sidered the fairest laundry in Portland.
We are still satisfied to grant all demands
made by the union, but feel as though we
should not be compelled to sign any agree
ment granting the Laundry Workers'
Union or the Portland Laundry Associa
tion authority to dictate to us in what
manner we must conduct our business.
Should the Laundry 'Workers' Union per
mit its members to continue to work after
May 2, as at present, we are satisfied to
have the question of signing the union
agreement submitted to a board of ar
bitration, composed of two persons to
represent the employers and two to rep
resent the union; these to select a fifth
member of the board, and the decision of
a majority of these shall be final and
binding on employers and union."
Mr. FInley was asked yesterday after
noon as to the truth of the rumor that his
laundry had been purchased by the Laun
dry Workers' Union, and that It would be
run on the co-operative plan.
Will Hun by Themselves.
"Nothing In It," said he. "We have
made no deal with the union, and are not
going to. We certainly will never Join
the association, and It Is hardly probable
that we will ever sign with the union.
Tou see. It's like this: If we sign the
agreement of the union, a certain faction
of employers, the men that count, too,
will be down on us, while the other laun
dries will try to ruin us. There is un
doubtedly a strong attempt being made
Just now to break up unions In Portland,
and a new business like this has a hard
row to hoe In keeping pace with both
sides."
To add to the Indignation of every one
In general, the Chinese washhouses have
made an advance in their prices. There
will evidently be a good market here for
the unfashionable celluloid collar. If no
washing can be done by either laundries
or by the Celestials, except at exorbitant
prices. Worst of all, the 'laundry pro
prietors will attempt to corner the mar
ket of new collars. John Talt, the secre
tary of the association, Is autohrlty for
this statement.
"Yes, I think It would be a good thing
for us to see the gents' furnishing stores
and get a rake-off from the collars they
will sell In the next few days," said he
yesterday. "Or we might buy them all up
ourselves."
PROPOSAL FALLS FLAT.
Master Painters RelHse to Consider
Union Plnn.
The contractors laugh at the sugges
tion of their acceptance of the . proposal
of President Warde. of the Painters'
Union, that the union Is willing to sign
up for a, year at the minimum scale of
$3.50 a day. According: to this plan the
painters are to go to work. at once and
in the meantime if any questions arise,
they are to be submitted to a board of
arbitration.
Members of the executive committee of
the Master Painters' Association were
asked as to the probability of the asso
ciation's agreeing to this proposal. In
every case they declared the plan a ridic
ulous one, from their point of view.
"Why, we can never accept such a
thing," said William Sheehy, one of the
committee.
"I tell you that the boys are just
bluffing, for we have them licked now,"
added his brother, James Sheehy.
"Five nonunion men came In from Kan
sas City today, and more are to come.
The places of the men who struck are be
ing rapidly taken by others willing to
work for the wages they refused."
William Sheehy wanted to know what
was new In the labor difficulties. He was
told that the laundries had locked out
their employes.
"Ah, let the good work so on," said he.
"We might as well find out now who Is
going to run this town. We have been
in business four years and every year
there has been a strike. Every time our
men told us that they didn't want to
strike, but that they couldn't help it.
Now we are going to find out who can
help It."
"I hardly expected that they would ac
cept that proposal, but I wanted to
make sure," said President Warde, last
evening.
The contractors say they will make no
answer to Warde's proposal, and that af
fairs will continue for a long time If the
men do not return to work for the old
rates of pay.
DELEGATES OFF FOR LA GRANDE.
State Federation of Labor Conven
tion Will Convene Tomorrow.
The delegates to the La Grande con
vention of the State Federation of Labor,
which convenes tomorrow, leave this
morning for the place of meeting. J. W.
Stlger, one of the delegates of the Paint
ers' Union, will not be able to attend the
convention, and E. J. Porter, his alter
nate, will go In his stead. Charles Warde,
the other delegate of this union, will
leave this evening. The convention opens
tomorrow morning.
Interest nas greatly increased as to the
chances of several for the two coveted
positions of the State Federation, the
presidency and that of state organizer.
Opposition to C. Y. Harry, the present
holder of the two offices, is as strong as
evec. The two offices are" to be separated
by an amendment to the constitution,
which will undoubtedly be passed at the
convention. The enemies of Harry de
clare that he wiU be returned to neither
position. He has still many friends and
these say as firmly that he stands a good
chance for re-election.
It looks as If the building trades unions
are to retain the presidency. Harry, the
present incumbent. Is a sheet-metal
worker, but the opposition to him is
strongest among the members of the
unions most closely affiliated .with his
own. It Is reported that the friends of
Charles Warde have been working In his
interest tor mo past several weeks and
that they have received many promises
of support. Others have supporters and
the race for the presidency will probably
be exciting.

BABY'S
DAY TO RECEIVE
CALLERS
The babies were all in the sunniest of moods
yesterday during their reception hours, and
the annual tea. was an immense success. Ever
so many people came out. to the Home; and alt
the visitors had & good time playing with the
babies and looking about the well-kept Institu
tion, with the sonny, airy rooms and pleasant
grounds. The nursery was full of visitors all
the time, and the ones who lingered late were
greatly entertained by the spectacle of the
bigger babies going downstairs to the dining
room for their S o'clock tea.
In fact. It Is quite one' of the sights of the
Home to zee this, for the way the babies de
scend the stairs. In funny, little sliding; hitch.
Ing processloc Is decidedly amusing. Some of
the children go cautiously, with their faces
turned on the stairs, in the way a landlubber
goes down a ladder on shipboard, and many of
them go as nimbly as an old tar.
Receiving with the ab!es were the president.
Mrs. L. B. Sitton. Mrs. E. F. Riley. Mrs.
Norrls R. Cox, Mrs. Hannah Robertson and
Mrs. O. M. Scott.
Mrs. Frank B. Riley has the candy table,
with Miss "Nan Robertson and Mrs. Helen
Harmon as assistants.
The tea table, which had very pretty appoint
ments in pink, was presided over by Mrs. "W.

DROWNED IN THE RIVER
CHARLES E. BULLOCK'S LAUNCH IS
FOUXD ADRIFT.
Prominent East Side Man Disappears
, "Wlitn Last Seen Wai Running
Craft Across; Willamette.
Tho mystery which has surrounded the
Gisappearance 0l naries x.. iu OCK) son
of Judge S. Bullock and a well known I
East Side young man, was apparently j
cleared up yesterday by the finding of the J
launch in which he was last seen, aarut
In the river. 1
Mr. Bullock, who lived with his wife j
and 8-year-old son at 67 Union avenue
North, wa3 an employe at Merrill's cy
clery as general repair man. It appears
that a traveling salesman named Sutro
had a gasoline launch which he placed
In charge of Mr. Bullock, which was kept
at the foot of Morrison street. It was
Bullock's practice to Invite friends to
make trips with him in the launch, and he
spent almost every evening on the river,
often in company with his wife, and some
times men acquaintances. Last Thursday
evening he arranged with George Hand
ley, George Taylor and "Van Wagner to
accompany him on a trip up the river.
Shortly afterward he drew his pay at the
cyclery, amounting to nearly $40, and went
to his home. After dinner he told his
wife of the trip he proposed making,
stating that he would return between 9
and 10 that night.
Ho met his three friends at the boat
landing a short time afterward, and they
proceeded up the river to the White
House, At this point they went ashore
and took a drink at the bar. His com
panions are positive In stating that Mr.
Bullock drank but one glass of whisky.
This was about 9 o'clock, and they im
mediately returned to tht Morrison-street
landing, which they reached at 10. Dur
ing the trip Mr. Bullock acted as engi
neer, and when the landing was reached
he' bade the other young men good night
and turned the boat In the direction of
a scow owned by B, B. Good, who some
times uses the launch. The three others
watched tho boat until It was swallowed
up In the darkness, and then they came
uptown. This was the last seen of Mr.
Bulldck, and what happened subsequent
to the parting at the landing is largely
conjecture.
Some time between 10:30 and il o'clock,
according to his statement. R. B. Good,
who lives at the East Burnslde-street
approach, heard some one calling on the
river, but on account of the frequent cries
from the boats and bridge he paid little
attention to the circumstance. Friday
morning he noticed that the launch had
not been returned to its accustomed place,
but gave the matter little thought. In
the afternoon a boatnan. who lives in a
scow near the steel bridge, told him that
the boat was tied up & sfcort distance be
low, hiving been picked up adrift earlier
in the day. Mr. Good found the launch
and returned It to its landing. An ex
amination of the boat showed that the
propeller shaft had become uncoupled, and
that an effort had been made to repair it.
This was Indicated by a displaced plank,
which had been lifted from the bottom of
the boat to afford access to the coupling.
The work had not been completed, and
tho wrench 'used for repalrng the ma
chinery was missing. The gasoline In
the two tanks was still turned on. and the
sparker had been disconnected. From this
it Is apparent that Bullock had tried to
fix the shaft which had become discon
nected, and in doing so stood in the point
of the boat, and was thrown overboard
by a sudden swell or by the boat striking
a loc in the river. The craft was an old
Ufesv, and was extremely cranky
an(J glycn tQ lurcnln&.
In falling overboard Bullock probably
struck the scow to which the launch was
usually moorea. as ne was an expert.
swimmer, he should have had no dlffi-
culty In reaching the boat ana clamber
ing aboard.
A. G. Simmons, who lives in a scow
above the Burnslde-street bridge, states
that he was crossing the bridge about 11
o'clock and heard a launch puffing up
stream. While preparing for bed at his
home, ten minutes later, he heard some
one cry "help" from the river. He looked
out onto the stream, but was unable to
mnVo nut nnvthlnir. Ho called to the oer-
son In distress, however, to hold to the
piling In a boom alongside his scow and
began dressing. A moment later a sec
ond cry was heard, which sounded like a
man attempting to call with his mouth
full of water. He then went outside and
made a careful examination, but could
distinguish nothing. The shadow under
the bridge was very deep. . and nothing
could be seen of boat or man. The
launch in question was painted white,
and if It had been anywhere in the vicin
ity, bo should have seen it, in spite of the
shadow.
Mr. Bullock's wife was not greatly
alarmed when her husband did not return,
home Thursday night, as he was some
times unexpectedly sent out of town to
repair bicycles and automobiles, although
he had never before failed to tell her
when he remained away over night.
When she discovered, Friday, that he had
not been at his place of business, she be
came greatly worried, and Instituted an
Investigation, on the theory that he had
been drugged and robbed. The finding of
the liunch and the surrounding circum
stances placed the matter In a new light,
and she, as well as Mr. Bullocks' other
relatives, are compelled to accept the
drowning theory.
J. W. Beverldge, a brother-in-law to tho
dead man. said to an Oregonlan reporter
last night:
"Mr. Bullock must have been drowned
In the manner generally accepted, though
he was an excellent swimmer, and unless
he was injured in some way could have
swum the river several times. He has not
been well for some time past, and may
have been taken with cramps. He was not
a drinking man, and the taking of the
drink at the White House was a very un
usual thing for him to do, but he took
only one drink, which could sot have
affected hlsa In the least. He was always
thoughtful of his family and 'Kfotized his
wife and ohikl, and. we were unable to
'
understand his action the first night in
staying away from home, but of course
It is explained now."
Mr. Bullock's reputation was the very
best for sobriety and Industry, and his de
votion to his family was the subject of
comment among his friends. He was 37
years of age and had lived In Portland
practically aU his life. Every effort Is
being mide to locate the body, but up to
an early hour this morning the search
had been unsuccessful.

READY FOR A SURVEY
Fairgrounds Await Organi
zation of Commission.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETS
Regret Expressed at Action f Fed
erated Trades In Condemning
Lewis and Clark Centennial
Eect Will Sot Be Serless.
At a meeting of the executive and
grounds and buildings committees of the
Lewis and Clark Fair held yesterday af
ternoon. Oskar Huber, superintendent,
reported that work had proceeded as far
as It could be carried on until plans are
more fully developed and approved by
the State Commission.
L Tho grounds are now ready for a sur
vey, along the lines suggested in tne re
port by John C. Olmsted, consulting
landscape architect, and the continua
tion of the work under the direction of
the engineer In charge. The preUmlnary
sketch of the consulting architect would
have to be gone over and the details
worked out in the office of the engineer.
Then would follow the survey, and orders
for grading could be made later. Every
thing at the Fair grounds Is In condition
to enter upon this work as soon as the
state commission Is permanently organ
ized and ready to give its official ap
proval to the work.
The action of the federated trades In
condemning the Lewis and Clark Fair and
calling upon organized labor to resort to
the referendum to defeat the project, pre
cipitated a special meeting of the execu
tive commute that might not have been
held for several days. The committee
was called together yesterday afternoon
at 2:30 o'clock, subsequent to a conference
of the grounds and buildings committee.
It was believed by the members of the
two committees that the work at the
Fair grounds should receive the full
sanction of the State Commission. The
plans of Mr. Olmsted have been sub
mitted to different members of the com
mission, but beyond expressing satisfac
tion that the report of the consulting
landscape architect was given In such ex
cellent form, the members of the state
committee could not act. They will not
assume the duties of their office until
May 21 and since It Is necessary that
the commission co-operate, fully with tho
directors of the Fair, nothing can be
done without their approval.
The original Intention of the directors
was to proceed slowly with the work of
surveying the Fair grounds and grading
the plateau, keeping up- some work on
the grounds until the State Commission
was organized. At such a time the build
ing plans were to be discussed in a gen
eral conference and an agreement reached
relative to future work. It was decided
yesterday, after a full conference, that
the entire details of the work were proper
subjects for a conference with the regu
larly organized state board -and the di
rectors of the. Fair.
Business men, both those closely Identi
fied with the Lewis and Clark Fair and
others, expressed regret that the Feder
ated Trades Council had adopted resolu
tions condemning the Fair. It was not
believed the resolution would have the
effect of killing the enterprise and the
possibilities of delay were regarded as re
mote. But that the Fair officials might
be delayed somewhat In the consumma
tion of their plans was recognized as a
possibility. The source for regret, how
ever, was that a misunderstanding should
have arisen.
On the State Commission, it was pointed
out, a labor representative was given
authority to safeguard the Interests of
labor, and the directors were Inclined to
be fair. The question of Increased cost
of living and other considerations ad
vanced by the federation for Its opposi
tion were not conceded by business men
to have been weU founded.
To clto the example of Buffalo and
Chicago and declare that Portland would
suffer a reaction after the Fair, Is held
by business men to be an argument not
founded upon facts. The Lewis and Clark
Fair is to serve the Joint purposes of cel
ebrating the centennial of the exploration
of the Oregon country, and to attract
immigration from the East. Unlike the
thickly settled Eastern States, Oregon Is
able to care for a large immigration and
the development of its resources depends
upon bringing people from the East to
this state. Those who would be attract
ed here by the Fair would come to settle
up the country and the development of
Its resources would make work more
plentiful. Instead of paralyzing business
the Lewis and Clark Fair Is expected by
business men to stimulate It during the
three periods, before, during and after the
Exposition. Labor would naturally share
In. the general prosperity.
The question of an advance in the cost
