No. 801 BAN IS REMOVED Local Merchants Hold a Spir ited Meeting MERCHANTS TO SELL S.P. GOODS Numerous Addresses Are Delivered II jr Interested Parties Merch ants Deliberate and UKm Vote Itemovo the Unit. Iu one of the most spirited and interesting meetings ever held in the local, commercial club rooms, the merchants of Hoseburg 'last night went on record favouring the privilege of selling goods to any and all per sons regardless of their business affiliations who are able to advance the stipulated price. The meeting was called late yes terday afternoon as the result of a current rumor to the effect that the Southern Pacific Company con templated moving their shops to some other point, presumably on ac count of the attitude displayed by the merchants in refusing to Bell their local representatives supplies. Although scarcely advertised, the meeting was largely attended, In cluding nearly every merchant and professional man In the city, fifteen of the striking shopmen, and a half hundred Interested citizens. The meeting was called to order by R. E. Smith, vice-president of the Hoseburg Commercial Club, who ex plained the call in detail. He said It was generally understood that the Southern Pacific Company had inti mated that the removal of the local shops was contemplated, and conse quently, the members of the com mercial club deemed it advisable to call a meeting and solicit expressions from the merchants, the striking shopmen and the citizens, and if pos sible, arrive at some decision rela- j tive to dealing with the present sit-1 unlion. Having little personal knowledge of the controversy at issue further of the controversy at issue, further that the merchants had refused tu sell their wares to the Southern Pa cific Company, Mr. Smith invited Glenn Goodman, president of the Merchants' Protective Association, to enlighten the assembly relative to ex isting conditions. Iu addressing the gathering. Mr. Goodman said he understood that orders had been Issued ordering the removul of the local dispatcher's of fice to some other point, and further, that the company contemplated mov ing (he shops from Hoseburg at some future date. Ho said he was apprised that the contemplated act ion of tjie company was prompted by the refusal of the merchants of Hoseburg to sell their representatives supplies. Mr. Goodman explained that the situation was one of vital Importance to the merchants, strik ers and citizens, and that some ac tion should be taken whereby the controversy may be settled satisfac tory to all concerned. "My sympathy is with the strikers," said Mr. Good man, "but notwithstanding this fact, ft behooves the merchants and the citizens to protect the Interests of the town. We are all residents of Rose burg; our Interests are here, and we cannot afford to assume an attitude that will result in the ruination of our business. As I understand the situation the merchants of Roseburg flatly refuse to sell the Southern Pa cific Company goods, yet I am ap prised that they are securing sup ples in other cities and shipping them into Hoseburg at a loss to our citizens." In conclusion Mr. Goodman said he was willing to abide by the ma jority rule, but desired additional in formation relative to the situation. S. S. Josephson then addressed the chair, and in an effort to enlighten the assembly, said that a committee of the strikers called upon the mer chants soon after the strike was" call ed, and requested that they refrain from selling the Southern Pacific Company goods of any description. Most of the merchants agreed to abide by the solicitation of the com mittee, and to date, have made good their promise. A. C. Masters, who was tho prin ciple speaker of the evening, ad dressed the assembly at length. He said he could not understand what good was derived by the strikers through the action of the merchants In refusing to sell the Southern Pa cific Company goods and merchan dise. ' There is not a man. woman or child in the city of Hoseburg who Is opposed to the position assumed bv tho strikers." said Mr. Marsters. "but notwithstanding, there are many of us who cannot understand why the merchants should refuse to pell goods to the Southern Pacific Company. In the event such a pro cedure would assist the boys in win nine the day I. for one, would re fuse to sell the company goods, but under present conditions, I am un able to determine how the strikers Millinery and Ladies' Toggery t a few Ladies' Tailored Suits left at special prices, .lust a few I .adieu Coats left at special prices. .lust a few Misses ttain-Ooata left, $10.00 aes now $7.50.

These goods are shipped into Hoseburg, and the money, which rightly belongs to the Hoseburg mer chants. Is finding Its way into the coffers of the non-resident wholesale houses. I am Inclined to believe that the strikers are unfair In asking the merchants to engage in their fight. considering that It is simply a strife between the railroad comiwny and Its employes. As I said before, the boys have my sympathy, and I will gladly lend them whatever assistance pos sible in winning a victory." In con clusion, Mr. Marsters said the mer chants purchased their goods to sell, and it was un-American to refuse to furnish men with the necessities of life in the event they were able to pay the stipulated price. William Abeene, one of the strik ing shopmen and a highly esteemed citizen of Hoseburg, said the local strikers were looking for sympathy, and the merchants of Hoseburg could display such an attitude in the event they desired to concede with tho re quest of the federation and refrain from Belling goods to the strike breakers. Mr. Abeene said the strik ers were simply struggling on com mon grounds with the railroads, and were not taking an undue advantage of the merchants as some contended. In many cities throughout the West. Mr. Abeene, said the railroad of ficials had interviewed the merchants and requested them to refuse to sell goods to the strikers. "It is this state of affairs that compels us to solicit the support of our home mer chants," said Mr. Abeene, "and urge them to help us In our strife for supremacy. We will win the strikt without doubt, and It will be but n few weeks until we are given on; former positions under improved con ditions." In conclusion, Mr. Abeem asked the merchants to refrain from selling the company merchandise, and thus display an attitude of friendship toward the strikers. Oscar Llndsey, manager f the Rochdale store, expressed his sent! ments briefly, when he stated that his sympathies were with the strikers and he would be unable to sell the company goods under present condi tions. "When the strike was first a. ed a local Southern Pacific of ficial visited my store," said Mr Lindsey, "and requested me to sell the company a bill of goods. I re fused, but not until after explaining my position. First of all, I inform ed the official that my sympathy was with the boys, and secondly, that a number of the stockholders in the store, of which I am manager, art former employes of the Southern Pa cific Company, and are effected b the strike. I'nder such a state o! affairs. 1 Informed tho official that it would be impossible for me ti deliver the goods' as requested." Arthur Jones, another striker, ad dressed tho assembly briefly. He stild that the men effected by the strike were, almost without excep tion, bona fide residents if Hoseburg and for years past had spent their money with locnl merchants. "We have been buying our supplies in Hoseburg for years." said Mr. .lones. "and it is probably that we will con tinue to patronize local merchants for years iu the future. The South ern Pacific Company never purchased goods in Hoseburg or other cities out side of the wholesale centers, until of late, and as soon as t lie strike it settled they will resume their former attitude. You will gain nothing by accepting a few dollars from the com pany, and standing the chance of los ing customers who can be depended upon to spend their earnings locally, and to the benefit of the local merch ants," Mr. Jones declared that the strike was not nursed or fostered by the strikers, but was forced upon them by the companies. "They demanded that we become members of a certain organization in order that we might vote in favor of leg islation detrimental to tho laborers, and we refused. It was this action that originated the strike." Walter Hamilton said he desired to see the men win In their fight Tor improved conditions and recognition as a federation, but could not see what the strikers gained in asking the merchants to refuse to sell good.s to the Southern Pacific Company. Mr. Hamilton said It was bis opinion that every man. woman and child in Roseburg sympathized with the strikers, and they would gladly lend them whatever assistance as was possible. He appeared to doubt the intelligence displayed by the merch ants at present, however, and con tended that it would lie far better to keen the money at home than send it to Portland and other distant cities. S. S. Josephson. who addressed the assembly for the second time, said he was one of the first merch ants to concede to the request of the strikers' committee, but after a month was of the opinion that nothing had been gained either by the merchants or the strikers. "As in many cases, people have made mistakes." said Mr. Josephson. "only to discover their error after a fair and impartial trial. Richard Stubbs said he was one of the men who agreed to refrain from selling goods to the Southern Pacific N NE MEN IN BOX Bordwell Overrules Challenge of the Defense HONOR MEN TO BUILD ROADS, Convicts from Penitentiary Create More Interest at Med ford Than Tt Could Command Tobacco Trust right. (Special to Tho Evening News.) LOS ANGELES. Oct. 31. Eight men occupied the jury box when the McNamara trial was resumed today, all of whom were subject to per emptory challenge only. The state made strenuous efforts to get rid of Talesman Krakes, a farmer, who said that he had no opinion in the case, and he was finally passed for cause. Krakes is favorably Inclined toward unions, and for this reason the state does not want htm to serve as a Jur or. In an effort to Impeach Tales man Johnson the defense recalled Ray Fitzgerald, ia lawyer, (to the stand, who alleged that he had dis cussed the McNamara matter with Johnson some time In August, at which time Johnson said that labor unions were obnoxious. Johnson was challenged by the defense for cause. but the court overruled the challenge in ci Johnson was held, making nine in the box this afternoon. Tho de fense also challenged Thomas Pres ton, au architect, who admitted that he had strongest prejudices against unions. Hordwell reserved decision in his case until tomorrow. Tobacco Trust Fight. NEW YORK. Oct. 31. Charging that competitors are opposing the plans for dissolution of the tobacco rust because they wish to profit by misfortunes of the combine, Delancoy Xleholl, one of the ileadlng trust lawyers, defended the trust plan In the I'nited States court today. He '(itterly attacked the opposition made by independent companies, who, he said, do a combined business of $;iS0. 000. 0i0 annually, and who are seeking to destroy the American To bacco Company. Convict Road Builders. MEDFOHD. Oct. 31.

I was approached by a local South rn Pacific employe who requested that I sell the company a bill of oods. In order to display my loyal- tv to the strikers, I met their com- nittee and offered to give them 5 ier cent of the net profits In the vent they would allow me to 'de fver t lie goods." They spurned the iffer, and consequently. I informed ho company there was nothing do ing. 1 am an ex-ranroau employe. ind 1 am with tho boys first, last md all the time.

Perhaps such is the 'ase. but railroads sometimes call 'heir bluffs to the material detrl nenr of the people interested." Mr. Stubbs said be believed It unwise o antagonize the railroad company unnecessarily, considering they were the power behind Hoseburg and could ransfer their shops and payroll at will. It has been said that Kose- Uurg can net along without the Southern Pacific Company. Perhaps -inch a statement is true, but never ilieless such action upon the part of the company would reduce the val uations of our property to the mini mum.

" It was Mr, Stubbs' contention that the mer chants should be allowed to dispose .f their goods at will, and thus place themselves in a position to nssist the strikers in other ways. Walter Christie, one of the strik ing shopmen, said he coirid not un- iderstand what pressure hail hen J brought to bear upon the merchants that they nacl suddenly cnaugea ineir attitude and desired to violate their .agreement with the federation com t'liittees. and sell goods to the com pany. He said the Southern Pacific Company was renowned for bluffs. ! and the present talk of removing the James A. Perry shops was without foundation. He declared that the company would re move Its shops from Roseburg only under one condition In order to shorten the divisions. He said that the strike situation had nothing to do with the removal of the shops, notwithstanding, that the company had given out Buch an Impression. Mr. Christie said It was case of eith er the company or the strikers gain ing tho sympathy of the merchants, and he was inclined to believe that the latter should have the preference. As an illustration he sntd there were at present about 25 men employed In the shops, while there were no less than 60 men on a strike. The strikers, he said, were purchasing their supplies In Hoseburgt every month In the year, whllo the strikebreakers were but temporary citizens and would leave the coun try as Boon as the strike Is settled. He Bald It was a case of choosing between the greater and smaller number, with the merchants of Hoseburg acting as judges. Mr. Christie also Intimated that It was not alone the strikers that were in terested in the success of the strike, but that the boys had the support of the other railroad crafts. Oscar Llndsey desired to) know why the Southern Pacific Company was so anxious to purchase goods In Hoseburg, when as a matter of fact, they could purchase their supplies In Portland at a less figure than here. In response to Mr. Llndsey's In terrogation, Chairman Smith re quested L. B. Moore, the local agent, to make a statement. He said he was unauthorized to speak for the company, and consequently had noth ing to say. Sam Crouch, a Sheridan street hardware merchant, said he was con ducting a store, and notwithstanding that he was In sympathy with the boys In the present strife, he would be compelled to sell his wares in the event he was solicited. Others who spoke In favor of al lowing the merchants to sell their wares to the Southern Pacific Com pany were Frank E. Alley, 8. C. Itartrum, J. l. Zurcher and G. P. Schlosser. Mr. Schlosser said the present fight was between tho rail road company and the shopmen, and he could see no sense In saddling the burden on the merchants of Hose burg. He also called attention to the advertising that was being carried on by the railroad systems, and of the colonists that were coming West in search of homes. He contended fhat the Southern Pacific Company was a power, and In tho event they wished, could divert the great major ity of newcomers from Hoseburg and nersundo them to locate elsewhere. Mr. Schlosser was of the opinion that It would be well to settle the prop osition at hand satisfactorily and vet avoid antagonizing the Southern Pacific Company. Mr. McXabb, one of the strikers, also took an active part In the dis cussion, and advanced many points which tended to enlighten the as sembly ns to the existing conditions. Mr. McNabb said the strikers were out to win, and consequently, de sired the support of the merchants of Roseburg. He said the Southern Pa cific. Company also desired the sym of the citizens of Roseburg, and It was merely a question of deciding between the two. Retire To I)eIxrnte. At exactly 10:40 o'clock, after consuming over 2 hours in dis cussion, t he merchants retired, and after a deliberation of a half hour reported to tho chairman through Glenn Goodman, president of the Merehnnta' Protective Association. Mr. Goodman said the merchants had agreed by a two-third majority to sell goods to any and all persons, re gardless of business affiliations In tho event they were able to advance the stipulated price. Simply One Question. While numerous phases of the strike situation were discussed Inst evening there was but one material question at issue. This question was "Is it wise for the merchants to refuse to sell the Southern Pacific Company goods and thus stand a chance of antagonizing the company and losing the shops and a healthy payroll?" Whllo there were many at I he meeing who considered tho ru mor a bluff, there were others who feared the officials of the company would carry their threats Into exe cution in tiio event the antagonistic attitude was carried to extremes. Boycott Talk Is III tiff. A report was circulated about town this morning to the effect that the striking shopmen had taken ex ception to the action of the merch ants last evening, and had decided to Bend elsewhere for their merchandise It was also said that the strikers had succeeded In persuading other crafts to do likewise, thus Initiating a boy cott on local merchants. When In terviewed by a News representative this afternoon a well known machin ist, and a member of the federation, branded the rumor as false. "We hold no ill-will against the merchants or citizens as the result of last night's meeting." said the machinist, "neith er do we contemplate Bending out or Roseburg for our supplies. We live here, and notwithstanding that we are on a strike, w Intend to do noth- 139 X.
