STORMY TIME
Beer Boycott Was Carried
After a Hot Fight,
COMMITTEE REPORT REJECTED
Ponition of ilie nployers "Was Sus
tained, bnt the Federated
Trades Voted to Stand uy
the Strikers.
All was not harmony at the meeting of
the FeQcrated Trades Assembly at which
a boycott was declared against tne Dee
of
the Welnhard, Gambrlnus and Star
'i-werlps. The debate was stormy and
nsonal. The boycott was declared be
muse the majority of the delegates
thought the striking men should be sup
ported, inasmuch as their national union
had ordered them out. The report of the
investigating committee sustaining the
position of the Brewers Association was
rejected by the assembly.
When the boycott was first announced
1L was thought to have heen ordered
filely out of. sympathy for the strike of
t .e Bottlers', Drivers' and Brewers'
tmlons. The fact was not known that
it required a hard fight to force the boy
colt resolution through the assembly, nor
that the minority in favor of the brew
cries had vigorously supported the pos
ition that the employers were in the
right. One of the members of the min
ority in the meeting of the Assembly
made the following statement yesterday:
"The troubles In the local labor world
reached a climax when the Federated I
Trades Assembly, by a majority of over j
two-thirds, voted to boycott the beer of 1
the local breweries out of sympathy for r
the striking Bottlers', Drivers and Brew- J
rK unions, xnis action was larcen alter
the- presentation and rejection of an ex
haustive report of a majority of the Inves
tigating committee appointed at the pre
vious meeting. The majority report up
held the position of the Brewers' Asso
ciation, and condemned the action of the
San Francisco Beer Workers' Union, and
bitterly censured the conduct of that
union's agent, Lewis Berg, in leading the
Federated Trades, the Brevfers Associa
tion, and the "branch unionsof Portland
Into the present muddle.
"All members admitted that the re
port was an able presentation of the
facts Involved in the dispute between the
employers and employes, and that
it conclusively proved the contention of
the Investigating committee, but the ma
jority, nevertheless, contended that since
the strikers had been ordered out by their
national union, it was the duty of all
affiliated unions to indorse the boycott.
It is to the credit of the assembly that
the better educated and more intelligent
members supported the report of the com
mittee, which called for further efforts
to hrlng ahout an amicable settlement,
since the Brewers' Association had not
refused, but was willing to arbitrate the
differences."

Assembly, who was interviewed regard
ing some of the statements made In re
gard to the Assembly's action, said. "The
action of the Assembly was reached after
a stormy session In which a great deal
of personal feeling was shown by several
of the members. The committee that
made the report was divided as to the
action to be taken. The report, as pre
sented, was made up largely of documents
and correspondence between the parties
to the dispute. On the floor the debate
was continued and the majority of the
committee opposed the action of the As
sembly. Some of the recommendations
of the committee as to future action
In the case of such disputes were tabled.
Finally a motion declaring the Welnhard
and Gambrlnus breweries of Portland, and
the Star Brewery, of Vancouver, unfair
was passed. The contention of the ma
jority of the delegates to the Assembly
was this: That inasmuch as the national
union of the brewery workers had or-
dered the local union to strike, the only
tning tor the allied trades unions to do
was to act In sympathy with the strike
and declare the boycott. The majority
considered that they had no option In the
matter. As to the contention that the
men of the minority were better edu
cated and more intflllfc-isnt- fhnt c nnitr
the assertion of a man sore at the result.
JNone of the delegations from the leading
unions voted solidly, and the resolution
was carried Zi to 12.
"Twenty-nine unions were represented
in the Assembly and will abide bv thr re
sult. Several of the unions havn nironriv
taken steps to declare the boycott ef
fective, by providing fines of from $5 to
$50 upon any member caught using the
beer of the breweries which have been
declared unfair."

FINE TIMBER SPECIMENS
OREGON EXHIBIT WILL BE AN AT
TRACTION AT BUFFALO.
One Stick of Clear Yellow Fir Is 75
Feet Long and Weisrhs
25 Tons.
A. J. Johnson, agent of the United
States Forestry Department for Oregon,
who had charge of Oregon's forestry ex
hibit in the Chicago Exposition, and who
for several months past has been securing
specimens of Oregon's forestry for the
Buffalo Exposition, Is assembling his ex
hibit here. He has two cars' loaded with
timbers, planks, and sections of trees.
They attract much attention on the
terminal grounds, and will create a sensa
tion at Buffalo. The third car is partially
loaded. "When asked how much space he
expected to be allowed at Buffalo, Mr.
Johnson Ingenuously remarked that he
should have a quarter of the forestry
building. He said all the world is ex
pecting to see the chief forestry exhibit
made by Oregon, and that it does not
matter so very much about the other ex
hibits. On the forward end of one of the cars now
loaded is a four-foot section of the trunk
of a sugar pine, the "King of Pines," and
the most valuable' timber of this state.
The tree was 225 feet high, 325 years old,
and seven feet In diameter. On the rear
end of the second car Is a three-foot sec
tion of an Oregon fir, nine feet six inches
in diameter. It Is a fine specimen. Rest
ing on these two blocks, on which it
will pivot In going around curves, is a
handsome stick of clear yellow fir tim
ber, 34 by 34 Inches, and 75 feet long.
It weighs 25 tons. It is doubtful if such
a huge block of timber was ever sawn.
A finer one has never been seen. It was
cut at the mills of the Eastern Lumber
Company, and the manager said he would
not like to undertake another such job.
On the side of the stick Is. painted the
size, weicht. etc.. and "Put me off at
Buffalo." On the top of this huge timber
rests two planks, cut from the same
tree. They are three inches thick, 20
Inches wide and 74 feet long, and without
blemish.
On the cars under the big stick are
showed sections of tree trunks, as fol
lows: Maple, three feet In diameter;
cottonwood, three feet: hemlock, four
feet; white oak, three feet; madrona, two
and one-half feet. There Is also a freak
section of a yellow fir three feet In diam
eter, the heart of which Is only six inches
from one side. Just why the growth was
nil r.n nno Kidp. no one can imagine. The
most wonderful thing about the tree Is
that 30 feet up the heart was In the
center. Along side of these sections of
tree trunks is a yellow fir plank four
Inches thick, 54 inches wide, and 24 feet
long. There are also some sections of
tree trunks on the third car, which Is
awaiting the arrival of a sawlog of tide
land spruce 16 feet long and eight and
one-half feet in diameter. Mr. Johnson
had a similar log cut 10 feet in diameter
to take to Buffalo, but the Necanlcum
did not rise high enough to float it out.
Mr. Johnson had everything except the
tideland spruce log aboard the cars Satur
day. The log will be received this morn
ing and the forestry exhibit will be
started for Bdffalo th'ls evening.

was too precipitate to permit the Inhabi

burned some of their most sacred and an

and there was no secret made of the Job.
The English, under war orders, system

Japanese devoted their energies largely to
gold, silver and munitions of war, which
they shipped to Japan, giving the private
free rein to collect souvenirs. The Rus
sians officially ignored looting, and every
one helped himself. The Americans both
recognized and Ignored the proposition.
Much loot was- gathered In and shipped to

Mr. Hlrsch made the presentation
speech. He referred to the high esteem
In which Rev. Dr. Bloch Is held In Port

accomplished. Rabbi Bloch, he said, was
In every way worthy of the token of re

him. Rabbi Bloch responded feelingly,
after which his successor. Rev. Dr. Wise,
spoke of the friendly relations existing
between himself and Dr. Bloch. S. Blu

he had always received during the 16
years' pastorate of Dr. Bloch. Mr. Mayer
recalled some pleasant reminiscences.
After hearty congratulations and good
wishes the trustees and friends handed
to Dr Bloch the following resolutions:
"Congregation Beth Israel, mindful of

HOLLADAY PUT. FAUL1Y
WHY REAL ESTATE COMPANY ASKS
VACATION OF STREETS.
Offers to Be Governed by City Engl.
nccr's Instructions In Mak
ing: Improvements.
So great a rumpus has been raised over
the petition of the Oregon Real Estate
Company to the Common Council for the
vacation of a number of streets In Sulli
van's Gulch, and along the edge of it, and
so many sharp things have been said
about the company in connection with
the matter, that people not conversant
with the facts have begun to believe that
something Is wrong. It has been charged
that the proposed vacation Is a scheme on
the part of the company to secure posses
sion of a lot of land owned by the city,
and that the company proposes to locate
stockyards and factories, and other unde
sirable Institutions along the line of the
gulch to the detriment of the property
bordering upon it.
Holladay's Addition is an extensive tract
of residence property. Part of It Is cov
ered with residences of the better class,
but the greater portion Is unsettled.
There Is no "shanty town' on the nroD-
erty,.and It has been the aim of tho com
pany to keep undesirable people out of
the addition. For almost the entire length
of the deep and winding gulch which runs
through the tract, the property In the
gulch and for some distance on both
sides, is still owned by the company.
Should It locate offensive concerns in the
gulch. It would be the loser.
The company wants the streets vacated
so that It may have the ground replatted
and laid out to better advantage. The
curves of the gulch and the contours of
the property will be taken Into considera
tion and land now practically valueless
will be made available for residence lots.
The plan Includes the filling of the gulch
to the level of the railroad track, and
the draining and filling of the pools of
stagnant water along the lower end of the
gulch. These are an eye-sore, and a men
ace to the health of the people who live
near them.
The necessity for the replattlng of the
land In and along the gulch arises from
the fact that the original plat of the ad
dition was made many years ago by the
former owners of the property, while the
ground was still covered with timber. It
was laid out In the usual checker-board
plan, regardless of Sullivan's Gulch, and
Its side gulches. Streets were located
in the air for many blocks, and others
crossed the gulch at places where a fill
or a bridge is utterly Impracticable. As
to the theory that the gulch will be filled
some time, there is a possibility that It
may In future ages', but no probability
that It will be for many generations to
come. The O. R. & N. Co has a right
of way through the gulch, which, so far
Is the only gateway for railroads coming
down the Columbia to enter this city.
Should the gulch be filled, this gateway
would be closed, unless, as one brilliant
genius has suggested, a hole should be
left In the fill, forming a tunnel for trains
to run through.
C. K. Harbaugh, secretary of the Ore
gon Real Estate Company, was asked yes
terday why he does not furnish a definite
statement of what Is to be done with the
property he asks to have vacated, and
file a plat of It as evidence of good faith.
He replied that the replattlng of ti
ground will necessitate the employment
of a competent engineer for a consider
able time to survey the property and de
cide how It shall be laid out to the best
advantage. He cannot form any Idea of
how the land will bo laid out and cannot
undertake the expense of the survey,
which will be considerable, until the
streets have been vacated.
One thing which it seems clear the
public has a right to know before tho
streets are vacated, Is how many bridges
should be built, and on what streets they
shall bo located. On some of the streets
as now laid out, the building of bridges
would be Impracticable, but people can
be found who Insist that Sullivan's Gulch
should be bridged at every street. There
are lots of people who do not want to be
"bottled In." The company has ex
pressed its willingness to defer to the
City Engineer in regard to this matter,
and has also agreed, to convey to the city
a right of way through the gulch for the
Immense sewer which must soon be built
to drain a vast stretch of territory on the
East Side.
It has been said by some who are op
posing the proposed vacation of streets
that "the company has done nothing for
the city." Mr. Harbaugh answers that his
books show that up to January, 1901, the
company expended In clearing and Im
proving the property, building streets and
sidewalks, and paying taxes, etc., over
$300,000. In one year It paid $18,000 taxes.
Miles and miles of streets have been
graded and graveled, and miles and miles
of sidewalks built, over which no one
has had occasion to travel. Streets and
sidewalks have been built out over the
edge of the gulch, leading nowhere, and
for which the only use Is to serve as
dumping places for the garbage of the
vicinity. Scavengers and others who
deposit garbage on the company's prop
erty do not even take the trouble to throw
It In a gulch, but dump it indiscriminate
ly. Scores of cows are pastured, and
the land Is a dumping ground for brush,
decayed timbers, railroad ties and other
refuse In quantities that must make even
the most soulless corporation weary, when
It Is remembered that all this stuff must
be finally cleared away at the corpora
tion's expense.
Members of the Council will probably
be called upon at Wednesday's meeting
to vote on the question of vacating the
streets In the gulch. Before doing so
L every one of them, Mr. Harbaugh says,
should look over the property involved
and see for himself what justice in truth
there is In the statements of those who
oppose vacation, and see where the streets
run, according- to the present plat. It
will be found, he says, that some of them
run along the edge of the gulch. In some
places hanging over. In other places cut
ting off some point of land. Some of
I the east and west streets run diagonally J

across the gulch, or according to Its
course for many blocks up the middle of
it. Others running north and south strike
the gulch In the widest places. One
street comes down a side gulch and strikes
the main gulch at a curve, where a bridge
to reach the other side would have to be
several blocks long.
SOCIALISM AND THE CEURCH.
Rev. E. F. Coulter Declares Church
is Responsible for It.
Rev. Frank E. Coulter, pastor of the
First United Brethren Church, East Side,
spoke yesterday morning to a large con
gregation on "Socialism and the Church."
The announcement that he would speak
on this topic brought a considerable num
ber of socialists to his church. After
giving an exegesis of the text, Mr. Coul
ter proceeded to point out the weakness
of the church, holding it largely account
able for the unrest and discontent from
which socialism has risen. He believed
the church had failed to do Its part In
economical as well as along spiritual
lines. He added:
"When we view the environments of
socialism we are somewhat shocked by
the coarseness and rudeness of Its as
pect, but the movement has behind it
one of the essential elements of the
kingdom of God brotherhood and the
kingdom of God has the right-of-way to
brotherhood and all. A young man enters
Portland and he comes to this church.
He is Interested; he Is converted. To
morrow he comes here and says he wants
work, for he must live. I give him the
church's stereotyped reply: 'I don't
know,' or 'I am sorry for you.' He goes
to the mills and factories and finds they
are all filled, and that to get a Job he
must go to the ward politician, or com
mercial boss. It Is my judgment that
as pastor of this church I should repre
sent the power of the 'church to get men
employment. It Is as much the duty of
the church to see that her communi
cants have good, wholesome employment
as to see that she has regular worship.
But we have not done so, and we have
political agitation and wide discontent
to take, the place of brotherhood which
the church should have vitalized into
active potentallty. Let us, then, as a
church, welcome the socialist as being
one element In God's 'economy for the
overthrow of evil. The church stands
convicted today In the constantly widen
ing power of fraternal and Insurance
societies. We are losing our people be
cause these societies as well as social
Ism Is feeding the starving souls of men
on Brotherhood the positive side of the
kingdom of God. Godliness is but an
other type of Brotherhood. Christ Is
being reincarnated In the world's life
for actual use, not for mere sentlmental
lsm. To him. every knee shall bow, and
every tongue confess."

Oregon Shonld Be Recognized.
PORTLAND, March 30. (To the Editor.)
I think the name of Oregon should be
used as a part of the name given to the
exposition to be held In 1905. Oregon orig
inally stood for all of the territory be
longing to or claimed by the United States
west of the Rocky Mountains, and as I
understand It, the Lewis and Clark ex
pedition was sent out for the purpose of
exploring Oregon and ascertaining wheth
er or not It was worth holding. There
fore, I think that to have Oregon out of
the name adopted for the exposition would
be to leave out the germ thought of the
whole matter. I would say that "The Or
egon Centennial Exposition" Is short, and
will cover the whole question, and will
give the exposition a definite location and
connect It with a definite idea In Amer
ican history. E. W. ALLEN.

MRS. GALLOWAY TELLS DETECT
IVE WHY SHE SHOT HERSELF.
Police Say the Hnnband Intlttcd on
Having a Drink Before Coins
to His Wife,
(Mrs. Frederick Galloway was resting
comfortably last night, at St. Vlnm a
Hospital, and the physicians now expit
that she will recover from the effets of
her self-inflicted wounds. She told De
tective Welner yesterday that aha did not
shoot herself because her husband had
been drinking.
"I have known that my hugband has
been a drinking man for years, ami I
haven't worried too much about It," she
went on. "He and I have not had trouble,
as he treated me well. I have no eom
plalnt to make agaln&t him. Tha trouble
was caused by a man on Sixth street, who
has been talking about me, and telling sto
ries that are not true. This worrid me
so much that I shot myself, and I wasted
to die. This Is the truth."
The police say that the woman's hus
band, Frederick Galloway, was very abu
sive when asked to come to the police sta
tion and explain the circumstances con
nected with his wife3 attempt on her
life. Galloway was found la a saloon, and
ho said at the time: "Go with you to the
police station? Where's yer warrant?
Well, maybe I'll go. Walt until I have an
other drink, first."
MONEY THROWN AT HIM.
Odd Ran of Luck TImt a City Man
Encountered This Week-
New York Mall and Express.
"I have never been tempted enough to
know whether I am really honest," said
a young man at the Waldorf-Astoria to
a Mall and Express reporter, "but my ex
perience this week would turn many a
poor devil from the straight path. I had
three experiences.
"One day I was riding on a horse car
on Ea3t Grand street. I handed a nickel
to the conductor. He handed back two
dimes and was passing on, when I In
voluntarily exclaimed: 'I gave you a
nickel only.' He came back with an odd
stare in his eyes and took the dimes,
while several passengers looked upon me
with withering contempt. Even the con
ductor kept an eye on me until I got off,
and I am satisfied that be believed me a
pickpocket getting solid In preparation for
a raid on the other passengers. I was
made so uncomfortable for my Involun
tary honesty that I shall never correct
another mistake In change made by a
street-car conductor.
"My second experience was In a bank oh
Grand street. I used the telephone and
handed a quarter .to the cashier. The
charge was 10 cents. He tossed my coin
Into a box of loose sliver and handed
back 40 cents. He gasped and gave a
frightened stare at the office safe as I
handed back the SO cents In fact he
'looked like 30 cent3.
"No. 3 of my experience was most start
ling. I boarded a Fifth-avenuo coach
and climbed to the top "seat. A farmer
was seated there taking In the sights with
eager eyes. He hunched over to let me sit
down, and I was forced to sit on a strap.
What seemed to be a buckle In the strap
annoyed me, and I put my hand down to
push it aside, when I found that It was
not a buckle, but an old-fashioned coin
purse. I snouia nave maae tne farmer
prove the property, but it was so evident
that it had slipped from his shallow
pocket that I held up the purse and asked
whether he had lost It. He was so startled
that he all but fell overboard into the
mad crowd of Fifth avenue. The purso
contained probably $3 in quarters and half
dollars.
"The owner became friendly, and began
telling a long story about a Scotchman
who refused to pay a poll tax of a penny
on landing at a Scotch port, and ho
hadn't reached the point when I had to
get off at Washington Square. He went
on telling it to the driver, and as I started
to walk away as the coach passed under
Washington Arch, he remembered that
he had not thanked me. and did so with
a wave of the hand and a cheerful voice
that left no doubt he meant It."
Grey or Gray?
London Academy.
Do you write grey or gray? If you are
wise you write both, giving to each lt3
special application. Exactly what' that
application should be Is not so easily ear
pressed, but who does not feel that some
things are grey and others gray? Mr.
Bradley tells us of an inquiry Into the
question of usage made by Dr. Murray In
1893. The replies showed that "in Great
Britain the form grey Is the more fre
quent In use, notwithstanding the author
ity of Johnson and later English lexicog
raphers, who have all given the prefer
ence to gray. In answer to questions as
to their practice, the printers of the
Times stated that they alwayB used the
form gray; Messrs. Spottlswoode and
Messrs. Clowes always used greyr other
eminent printing firms had no fixed rule.
Many correspondents said that they used
,l the two forms with a difference ot "mean
ing or application, the distinction, most
generally recognized being that grey de
notes a more delicate or a lighter tint
than gray. Others considered the differ
ence to be that gray 13 a "warmer!' color
or that it has a mixture of red or brown.
There seems to be almost absolute, una
nimity as to the spelling of "the Scots
Greys," "a pair of greys." Yet grey has
more of sentiment, gray mora of color.
