today. The circulator of the petition
is said to be George Crane of south

Hall had been installed into office
and Mr. Crane came to him with a
claim to have backing by certain coun

time that a poundmaster was unneces

7. IV. W. Agitators and Police in Spectacular Fight
on Portland Business Streets
Portland, July 18. Scenes of
ing, probably the wildest in the his-
tory of this city, were enacted last(
night when deputy sheriffs and pa-
trolmen with drawn dubs, charged
a crowd of 3000 persons including
members of the Industrial Workers
who are in sympathy with the strik
ing girls and women employes of the
Oregon Packing company, and on
lookers who had gathered at the inter
section of Sixth and Washington
streets when they learned that a street
meeting, was to be held. Nearly 100
were struck and many were knocked
down by the officers who used clubs
and fists indiscriminately." The dis
order had its inception when 16 girls
and women strikers and women sym
pathizers supported by a large num
ber of the industrial workers-attempted
to speak in the streets in violation
of the mayor's orders. , Thirty depu
ties and 100 patrolmen after ordering
the crowd to disperse drew their cluba
and charged.. For ten minutes the
street was filled with a struggling and
shouting maelstrom of people, most of
whom were attempting to escape from
the police. The business district was
.cleaned after a 30-minute struggle.
i " Many Women Arrested.
; Doctor Equi and her fol
lowers were loaded intoautomobiles
and taken to jail. Several automo

taken. Some men were roughly han

men and conductors, on eastern lines,
over the question of submitting "all

amendment, was continued today

two men debated the question. Mr.
Crane believing such an office was
necessary. However, no poundmaster
was appointed at that time as Mr.
Crane was turned down. Not until
later in the year was tho appointment
made and Mr. Crane was not named
even then.
Policy Economical One.
By refusing to make an appoint
ment at the outset, Dr. Hall saved
for the city a sum approximately $250.
So far as car be learned today, there
has been no further steps taken in the
rumored recall of two or three coun-
cilmen.

AUTOMATIC RECALL.
After the amusing side of
the recall talk has been in
dulged in and the sober, tax
paying element settle down
to think things over, it is
well to bear in mind that the
new charter' is .. now being
printed; that a charter -election
v will be called shortly
and if the charter carries (as
is most certainly will) it acts
as automatic recall on every
city officer in the city hall

for those who are clamoring
