LAUNDRY STRIKE ON
Oyer Two Hundred and Fifty
Workers Walk Out,
EMPLOYERS KEEP WORK GOING
Konnnion Laborer! Arc Hired to
Fill Places of Strilcers Latter Are
Making; Determined Orderly
Fight Chinese Profit.
Two hundred and fifty union laundry
workers went on a strike yesterday. All
the employers of the laundries affected
kept their plants going, and made an
effort to replace strikers with non
union laborers. The union workers are
making a determined, orderly .fight
for recognition of the union and for
an 'Increase of pay. The president of
I we union nus ium
1 plaining the union p
the union has Issued a statement ex
plaining the union position.
Over 250 out of the 275 members of
the Shirtwaist and Laundry "Workers'
International Union No. 90 went on strike
yesterday morning and most of the nine
union laundries were more or less crip
pled, but in all cases new employes
were engaged and all laundries wero
open for business. No entire shut-down
occurred. In a few cases, it is stated,
Several union employes returned to work
after they had been out a few hours
doing nothing. One faction asserts that
the employes are using the strike as a
cloke to cover a movement looking to
the establishment of a co-operative
laundry under control of employes. No
fconiprcmise is yet in sight, and in every
case so far reported the employers say
they are in the contest (to stay.
The Opera-House laundry people worked
as usual, as very few of them, if any,
joined the union.
Pacific Laundry: 25 union employes
walked out, and did not return. New em
ployes applied for work and got it.
City Laundry: All union hands walked
out, and other workers nearly filled va
cancies. Troy Laundry: "When the hour for start
ing work arrived, all union employes,
about 120 in number, walked out, but
five of them returned. New employes
accepted positions.
Union Laundry: All union employes are
tit, and several nonunion people re
ported to be at work.
Star Laundry: No union people work
ing but about a dozen new employes are
working, and arrangements made to take
bare of all orders as usual.
Employes Give Tlielr Side.
The employes' side of the dispute was
printed in yesterday's Oregonlan. The
president of the Shirtwaist and Laundry
Workers' International Union No. 90 has
given out this statement to explain the
position taken by the employes:
The trouble between the union and the
Laundrymen's Association has been brew
ing since the organization of the union,
last November, the proprietors seeming
to be more uneasy than trie union. In
fact, their action forced the union to
make demands long before they had any
Intention of doing so. "We would have
been content to have continued the work
of organlzlnz until next year had they
not said that they could not go ahead
with their contemplated improvements
and make their usual contracts until the
union had made their demands; conse
quently a scale was prepared, which, with
the International agreement, was pre
sented March L to take effect March 3L
with a request that reply be returned not
later than March 15. Our International
officers had been advised of our action
and had outlined a course for us to
pursue. Before the time had expired a
reply was received containing a flat re
fusal of ourdemands from the Laundry
men's Association, with a volume of ar
gument against both the agreement and
the scale. The union men placed the
entire matter in the hands of the local
executive board, with full power to act,
who placed a business agent in the field
who was to find out from the bosses
what they considered a reasonable agree
ment and scale. The remainder of the
month then passed, the business agent
receiving the glad hand and happy smile
from the bosses, but no information. The
"bosses seemed to be satisfied with the
present conditions, no matter what the
employes thought. No signatures hav
ing been secured before March 31, the
matter was then carried to the Federated
Trades Council, and the good offices of
their grievance committee invoked. "When
Ihey reported back to the council, the
matter was placed in the hands of the
arbitration committee of that body.
In the meantime, acting under the
instructions of the international office,
the international agreement was dropped,
and a local agreement was prepared,
and the scale formerly submitted was
reduced to what we believe is as low
as we can go. This was placed in the
hands of the arbitration comrnlttee of
the Federation to submit to the pro
prietors, who refused to sign on account
of the article relating to the employment
of union help through the office of the
union, when union help was available.
But they can hire nonunion help when
we are unable to secure them, but we
expect the union help thus employed to
become members of the union within 15
days after, going to work. If we are not
protected in this way it would be but
a short time before the union employes
would be out of jobs, and their places
filled with an ever-Increasing army of
nonunion labor. The agreement which
we present is not nearly so binding as
the one in vogue in San Francisco. Re
garding the scale the differences are not
so great as the employers would have the
public believe, and is about 2 per cent
under the San Francisco scale. "We have
assurance that sufficient capital will be
forthcoming to start a large union
laundry, if the matter is not settled at
an early date. The proprietors attempted
to forestall us by informing the machin
ery houses that they would boycott them
if they sold machinery to be placed in
Portland within a year. "We have been
told that we can get the machinery
when we come with the money. So
that settles that matter. We intend to
use none but honorable means to gain
our point, and with our International and
61 local unions in this city to back us,
we feel sure of success.
The Laundry-Workers have opened
headquarters at Third and Columbia
streets, in the Walters' Alliance Hall,
where the members may make them
selves at home, and any employer can
find the agreements, snould he feel in
clined to sign. i
Utiles Tlint Aronsed Contention.
The main bone of contention between
employers and employes Is the rules laid
down in an agreement recently submitted
to the employers for signature, and they
are as follows:
None but union members to be employed, and
they to be employed through the union office,
when said union members arc available. Any
person employed who is a nonunion member
shall be allowed 15 days In which to affiliate
with the union.
The business agent of this union shall have
power to interview employes at all times by
permission of manager. No time shall be de
ducted for less than one-half day. Wages are
to be paid weekly.
It Is mutually agreed that the union shall not
cause nor sanction a strike, 'or that the em
ployer will not lock out his employes while
this agreement s in force.
All questions which cannot be mutually
agreed upon shall be submitted to a board of
arbitration, composed of two persons for the"
union and two persons for the employer, these
to select the fifth member of the board, whose
decision shall be final and binding on both the
employer and employes and the union.
The union agrees to use every honorable
means to benefit the business of the employer.

Strikers Are Orderly.
No disturbances occurred yesterday, al
though various pickets were on duty for
a portion of the time. In front of laun
dries, to dissuade nonunion help from ac
cepting positions vacated by strikers. To
day, however, the real test of strength
will come, as work for the week in a
laundry practically begins each Tuesday
morning. People who did give their laun
dry work yesterday to the drivers who
called at their houses yesterday for it
were told that the work would be deliv
ered Saturday, if possible, and with this
assurance they had to be content. Sev
eral customers were heard to express this
view of the situation: "I want my laun
dry work done as soon as possible, but I
don't wish to send it to a Chinese laun
dry." explained one woman, "so I will
eliher have to wait until a laundry em
ploying nonunion help takes care of my
work, or I will have to do it at home."
One 'laundry proprietor said last night:
"The strike means, will I allow my help
to run my business for me? Before I
consent to this I will close my doorsi.
There was only one attempt at a confer
ence, when It was proposed that the em
ployes name three disinterested men, that
we would name three, and allow the em
ployes to name the seventh. But the em
ployes would not agree to this and the
proposition fell through. They wished a
strike, to give them the opportunity to
start a co-operative laundry."
Several Chinese laundry men were seen
hauling hand carts overloaded with bun
dles of soiled linen along the streets.
A citizen remarked that If the strike of
laundry employes continued for any
length of time the "Chinks" would be
getting back the laundry business, of
which they used to have a monopoly
years ago. Another remarked that the
Chinese laundry men would have just
as much trouble to procure laundry-workers
as the white employers. The Chinese
no longer care to work at the laundry'
business for 15 to 17 hours per day for
about $200 per year, when they can make
$300 in six months by working in a can
nery. "Chinaman no likee washee washee
any more."
WOOL OUTLOOK GOOD.
Heavy Clip in Eastern Oregon, Says
J. II. Beckley, of Sherman County.
Reports from Eastern Oregon sheep
ranches tell of a most successful lambing
season and a heavy wool clip. J. H. Beck
ley, who owns a band of 4000 sheep and
operates a large ranch near Moro, Sher
man County, says that the outlook in
Eastern Oregon is most encouraging, and
that the iate Spring insures plenty of
grass during the early Summer months.
Mr. Beckley Is one of the lucky shcep
ownere who obtained a permit to pasture
his sheep on the Cascade forest reserve,
and will soon commence driving his en
tire band to the neighborhood of Mc
Kenzie Bridge, in the heart of the Cas
cade Mountains. Two hundred thousand
sheep will be pastured in the forest re
serve this Summer, and all available graz
ing land will be occupied. Some of the
Eastern Oregon eheepowners, especially
these of Wheeler and Gilliam Counties,
prefer to pasture their flocks In the Blue
Mountains during the Summer months,
but many prefer the Cascades, on account
of the superiority and abundance of the
grasses in the forest reserve.
NOT CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS
Although Mr. and Mrs. Billings Be
lieve in Efficacy of Prayer.
PORTLAND, April 28. (To the Editor.)
In your issue of this morning a mis
statement appears which I feel sure you
will be glad to correct in the interest
of accuracy as well as justice.
In the account given of the recent un
fortunate death of L-efa Billings from
diphtheria it is stated that she was "the
daughter of Christian Scientists."
Since reading the account I have in
vestigated the matter and learn from
Mr. and Mrs. Billings, the parents, that
while they. In common with all Chris
tian people, believe in the efficacy of
prayer, they ar6 not Christian Scientists
and know nothing of its teachings, and
that Christian Science was in no way
connected with the case.
In this connection it may be well to
state that in the case of contagious dis
ease, Christian Scientists take every pre
caution to protect others from exposure
and cheerfully obey the health regula
tions of the community.
Trusting you will accord this statement
apace in your esteemed paper.

MILLWORKERS WALK OUT
STRIKE
FOR UXIOX WAGES IX
JONES' PLANT.
Workmen Demand Scale Paid by
Two Leading Mills Settlement
Likely in a Few Days.
A strike was declared yesterday by the
employes of the Jones lumber mills, in
South Portland, and it is thought that
like action will soon be taken by employes
of some of the other mills. The situation
does not promise any extended difficulty,
however, and Mr. Jones said last night
that he expected matters to be speedily
adjusted.
About a month ago both the Inman
Poulsen Company and the North Pacific
Company either voluntarily or at request
of the union raised wages all along the
line 25 cents per day, making a minimum
wage of $2 per day in their mills. The
employes in other mills promptly demand
ed a like action. Some of them complied,
others among which were the Jones Lum
ber Company would not recognize their
demand, and yesterday the first step
toward enforcing their demands was taken
and a strike declared in the Jones mills.
The follpwlng is the agreement that the
millmen are asked to sign:
First All men working In such mills and the
mill yards connected therewith to receive $2
per days for a 10-hour day.
Second All the men so working In said mills
no wrecelvlng $2 per day or more to have an
advance of 25 cents per day.
Third Such advance in wages to begin and
take effect on April 1, 1002, and to continue
for a year thereafter.
Fourth Other conditions being equal, union
men holding cards showing them to be In good
standing, to be given a preference as against
nonunion men.
Fifth Special arrangements allowed to be
made for men and boys who are unable to do
a man's work.
In speaking of the matter last night Mr.
Jones said:
"I believe the strike was due to a mis
understanding, and that matters can easily
be righted. I had no Intention of Ignoring
the requests of my men, but the commit
tees they sent were unsatisfactory, and
made demands that I don't believe the
union asks. I am willing to make reason
able concessions to them, but when I can
get a good man I want him, union or non
union. I am willing to pay good wages,
but believe in paying men according to
their worth. Some men cannot earn $3
per day. Other strikes are likely to fol
low this one. My business is a local busi
ness only, and for this reason the weak
est point of attack.
"The strike was an entire surprise to me,
and I had been given no warning at all.
I think that those who ordered It had not
the proper authority."
Donald Mackay, of the North Pacific
Lumber Company, when asked about the
situation, said:
"I know nothing of the union at all. We
raised the wages because we felt we
could. We run our own business strictly,
and try to pay all we can afford. I do not
look for any extended trouble. I have
never been visited by a committee from
the union, nor asked to sign any agree
ment whatever, and I do not anticipate
any trouble at all with our employes."
SUES FOR OWNERSHIP.
Mrs. Dorothea Wctmore's Action
Agrninst ,Her Husband.
Mrs. Dorothea Wetmore's suit against
her husband. Ward C. Wetmore. In which
she asks the court to decree that she is
the owner of property on Hamilton ave
nue, and also on South Front street,, was
heard by Judge George yesterday. It will
be decided later on.
The couple were married In Portland
25 years ago, and hae no children. Sev
eral years- ago they disagreed, and the re
sult was a contested divorce suit, which
has been to the Supreme Court and back,
and Is still pending. The -property dispute
was originally a part of the divorce pro
ceeding, but is now being prosecuted sep
arately, and the divorce suit will be tried
later on.
Mrs. Wetmore contends that her hus
band gave her a home years ago, which he
afterward sold. She said she entrusted
him with the money, and he bought the
property she is now suing for, and had
the deed made in his own name. Wet
more owned a great deal of property at
different times, and bought and sold from
time to time. Mrs. Wetmore asserted
that, no matter how many changes and
transfers were made, she could not be di
vested of the home or proceeds of It.
Mrs. Wetmore testified that she had
every confidence in her husband, and had
no Idea he would take advantage of her.
but several years ago, after she had de
manded a delivery of the property from
him several times, he said: "I am a little
too smart for you. I have got everything
my own way. I have you where I want
you." She said he finally, after she had
pleaded with him a great deal, became in
dignant and told her she had lost all her
rights.
On cross-examination. Thomas G.
Greene, attorney for the defendant, asked:
"How old were you when you. and Mr.
Wetmore were married?''
"I was 22."
"How old was he?"
"He said he was 44, but I found out
afterward that ho was 45."
"How much property did he have at
that time?"
Mrs. Wetmore explained that her hus
band owned some lots. She said he built
some houses and sold them. He was a
mechanic, and did the work himself, and
they accumulated property and got along
very nicely. She said:
"He gave me one house as my own
home. He gave it to me gratuitously, the
same as you would give a child a toy. I
exercised all the rights of ownership. All
of my friends knew it was my home. He
told them it was my home. I lived there
and kept house."
Mr. Greene Your husband lived with
you. didn't he?
"Yes, he lived in the house."
Mr. Greene You had a right to kick
him out, had you? Was he a trespasser?
Had he -a. right to live there with, his
wife? What is your theory about it?
"I have not thought the matter over,"
answered the witness.
There was considerable more evidence
along the same line, Mrs. Wetmore al
leging that she owns the property as a
gift from her husband. ,
Wetmore, in his own behalf, testified
that he owns the property, and was the
owner of all the 'different houses and lots
which he built and sold at various times.
MUST BEGIN OVER. AGAIN.
Morris LaboTvitch Loses Long-Contented
Suit Afralnst Sons.
The decision of Judge Cake in the suit
of- Morris Labowitch against his sons, I.
A. and L. Labowitch, for support, was
reversed by Judge Sears yesterday, be
cause Judge Cake tried the case alone,
instead of in conjunction with Commis
sioners Mack and Showers.
In the County Court the sons were or
dered to pay $30 per month to their
father for his support, and, falling to
do so, to be taxed with a penalty of $20,
payable to the county. The proceeding
has been in the courts in one form and
another for several years, and under the
decision just rendered Morris Labowitch
must commence all over again. A de
cision in favor of the sons for costs was
also announced by Judge Sears. The de
fense interposed has been that Morris
Labowitch did not support his children
during their minority, and -is not there
fore entitled to receive anything from
them, and also that he is able to work
and 'provide for himself. He sued his
wife about 16 years ago for a divorce. She
contested the suit, and a decree was ren
dered granting ' her the divorce. - Labo
witch soon afterward married
another
woman. The sons contend that, consider- T
ing everything, he has not acted the part
of a parent, and they refuse to assist
bim.
WILL XOT PAY SUBSCRIPTION.
Why J. F. Gilbert Doesn't Want
Moant Scott Railway Stock.
J. F. Gilbert, who was sued by the
Portland, Chicago & Mount Scott Rail
way for a subscription of $100, has filed
an answer alleging misrepresentation.
The company sets up an agreement that
the subscription was agreed to be paid
when arrangements were coriipleted for
the operation of the line from Lents to
Portland as .an electric system, cars to
run every hourand the fare to be 5 cents.
It Is alleged, that a contract of this kind
has been entered into with the Portland
City & Oregon Railway 'Company.
Gilbert, in his answer, avers that the
understanding was that the Portland City
& Oregon Railway Company was not to
have anything to do with the arrange
ment, but that a connection was to be
made with the City & Suburban Railway
Company's line at Hunter's station. Gil
bert further states that $7000 to $S000 was
to be spent to Improve the Mount Scott
line. He also set up in his answer that
the road was already turned over to the
Portland City & Oregon Company before
he signed the subscription of $100, and
that the money raised on subscriptions
was used to pay certain claims. A de
murrer to this last part of the answer
was overruled by Judge Sears yesterday.
SETTLED OUT OF COURT.
Salt of Mrs. Atkinson Against North
ern Pacific Dismissed.
The suit of Mrs. M. Atkinson against
the Northern Pacific Railway Company,
to recover $2000 damages, was dismissed
by Judge Sears yesterday, on motion of
plaintiffs attorney, W. T. "Vaughn. Mrs.
Atkinson in her complaint sets forth that
in January last she boarded a train of
the defendant, Intending to go to Houlton,
and by mistake was directed by the con
ductor to leave the train at Holbrook,
which she did. She alleged that the
weather was very inclement, and that she
was compelled to walk to the river and
return to Portland on a steamboat. Be
cause of exposure she said she became
sick and had to employ a physician at an
expense of $200. The company filed an
answer stating that Mra Atkinson care
lessly left the train at the wrong sta
tion. The dismissal of the case indicates
that a settlement has been made.
COULDN'T EARN ENOUGH.
Why J. W. Butler Objects to Paying;
?319.
In the suit of A. D. McHargue against
J. W. Butler to recover a balance of
$319, on account of 'moneys loaned to
the defendant by U. S. McHargue, Judge
Sears yesterday allowed the plaintiff to
file an amended itemized account. The
controversy, according to the answer filed
by Butler, Is one of an unusual nature.
Butler states that In the Summer of 1S35
he was Induced by U. S. McHargue to
leave his happy home In Pleasant Valley,
Multnomah County, and move with his
family to Hillsboro, on a guarantee that
he would earn at least $1 per day all the
year round. Butler asserts that he did
not earn more than $250 a year, and that
McHargue is liable to him for the dif
ference of $50 per -year. Butler further
avers that he furnished McHargue board,
lodging, washing, etc., for 60 week3, for
which he received $94, leaving a balance
of $255 due. He also asserts that his
daughter was sent to school at Monmouth
by McHargue on the latter's own mo
tion and suggestion, and that McHargue
has charged him with this expense of
$224, but should not do so. Butler denies
that anything is due from him to tha
plaintiff.
Asks Money for Defense.
Mrs. Pauline Gross, whose husband,
Gottfried Gross, has sued her for a di
vorce, yesterday filed a motion asking
the court to order him to Day $100 into
court to enable her to make a defense.
She denies that she has neglected her
chlldrhen or abused her husband, and al
leges that although he earns good wages
as a carpenter he has not supported his
family since February! 1901. The motion
of Mrs. Gross is accompanied with several
affidavits. One of these, signed by Er
nestlna Schweitzer, recites that Gross Is
of a quarrelsome and jealous disposition,
and one night he compelled his wife to
leave her home, and she took refuge with
the neighbors She also states that Gross
accused his wife of selling groceries In
the house, and beat her so that her arm
was black and blue. Emily Bitter, in an

her children well and assisted them in
their lessons. Other affidavits in favor
of the defendant, signed by Augusta
