ARE WILLING TO RESUME WORK Resolution Passed Designed to Bring: Planing Mill Strike to n Close Master Plumbcra Move to Ex tend Their Association. Owing to the action of the union In declaring that all mill and finishing, materials must bear the stamp of the union, otherwise they will not handle it; therefore. be It Resolved. That we. the Master Build ers of the Cltr of Portland, refuso to resume work under these conditions, but that we are ready to commence operations with men who will handle mill or finishing materials, from what cer source It may come. I. B. BRIDGES, President. GEO. W. GORDON, Secretary. New complications have entered the strike situation and the prospect for building enterprises is no better now than during the strike of the Building: Trades Council. The Master Builders' Associa tion believes that the planlng-mill diffi culty should be settled at once in order that when work i? resumed there may be no further difficulty as to its progress. At their regular meeting last night the above resolution was passed without a dissenting vote. By this it is meant that th master builders refiise to r-sumc work tempora rily and be threatened with anpther strike as soon as they are forced to patronize the unfair mills on account of shortage of material. They do 'not wish to take sides in the flght between the union and the planing mills, but' are determined that the controversy shall be settled before they resume work. Under the present conditions future contricts cannot be fig ured upon with any degree of certainty, and even on present contracts material cannot be had to give work to all of the men. Xo men were discharged yesterday morning, as was stated during the day. There was not material at hand for them to work on, hence they cannot be given places until the difficulty Is settled and the contractors are at liberty to use the products of the planing mills. Men Must Use AH Material. "We will be glad to have our men come back to work," said a' contractor, after the meeting last night, "but we want them to come with the understanding that they arc to work with any material we may. furnish them." "Bp.t their unions forbid them working with material from the unfair mills," said the reporter. "Will you ask them to disavow their unions?" "That Is just the pfilnt," said he. "We want them to get in and settle the thing now and arrange it so that the union will not forbid their using the mill products. We favor the union, but do not want to be tied up in this way by its action. We want them either to make the planing mm give in or make some arrangements to declare their products fair. We don't care who wins, but we want the thing settled." Xo Material to "Work With. It was expected that after the Building Trades Council had issued a permit for all of the men to return to work, the building of the city would assume its usual activity. Such was not the case, however, and especially among the car penters very little work was being done yesterday. Many of the men did not show up to take back their old places, and there was no material for many who did show up to work with. The master builders state that they have binding contracts with the planing mills for material, and that they cannot secure material to advantage from other sources. "It Is no use for us to start to work," said a prominent contractor yesterday. "It would te but a few days until we would have to shut down for want of ma terial, and vie would just as well shut down now- until we are able to start up with come assurance that we will be able to continue for some time without inter ference. It is absolutely necessary that we ure the products of the planing mills that have been declared Unfair, and ar rangements will have to be made to that effect. ' Builders Discuss Situation. Last night was the regular meeting of the Master Builders' Association, and the sluatlou was thoroughly discussed. After those present had expressed their senti ments the foregoing resolutions were drawn up and adopted as expressing the tand of the master builders on the strike situation. About 11 .o'clock an Oregonlan reporter waB ushered into the meeting and shown the resolutions. "Doc3 this mean a lockout?" asked he. "No! No! No!" was the chorus from various members. "It is not a lockout. It is simply to show them where we stand." "But you do not wish them to come to work unless they are willing to handle any material you may give them?" "Yes." "And you know that the union has made It an offense punishable by a fine of $50 (Concluded on Paje 11.) :: :: MJMinM t u---rT - -f HSTArCO xV Ql &b.j. ALL IN FAVOR OF HANNA UNANIMITY OF SEXTIMETTUX OHIO REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. All the Members of the New State Central Committee Arc for His Re-EIectlon to the Senate. CLEVELAND, May 27. The feature of the Republican State Convention today was the unanimity of sentiment in favor of Senator Hanna. He has been the cen ter of interest since his arrival from Washington last Sunday. The conferences of leaders with him continued today, but when it came to the meeting of the dele gates by Congressional districts this af ternoon, the sentiment for him was demonstrated in an unprec&dcnted de gree. HIa friends had claimed 18 out of the 21 districts, and more than realized their expectations. Interest centered In the selection of the committeemen, as the new state central committee, selected to day, will have control next year, when members of the Legislature are elected" who will choose the successor to Mr. Hanna in the Senate. It is claimed to night that only one anti-Hanna man was elected on the new state central com mittee, and that he had beeen "recon ciled." The drift of sentiment In all preliminary meetings was most encouraging for the Senator, and the delegates would not rest until he got up and showed himself, though he Insisted that he would not dis cuss the issues in advance of the key note speech of General Grosvenor, who is to be the permanent presiding officer to morrow. Above the platform were suspended large portraits of McKlnley and Roose velt. Senator Hanna sat In the rear of the large hall with the Cuyahoga dele gation, but he was the center of attrac tion even there. After the convention adjourned, he repaired to his home and tonight that place became the Mecca of delegates and others. While Senator Hanna declined to speak today in ad vance of General Grosvenor, It Is under stood that he will respond tomorrow, and his speech Is anticipated with more In terest than any other event of the con vention. While the Interests of Senator Hanna were paramount In the selection of all the committees, all the others were recog nized In the selection of the committee on resolutions. Seven Congressmen Dick, Gill, Hlldebrandt, Nevln, Skiles, Tayler and Kyle were selected on this commit tee and three members of the Legislature Hardin, Patterson and Cole. The dress parade of Gubernatorial candidates con tinued Into the district meetings, which favored their respective candidates. , At the meeting of delegates from the Tenth District, R. W. Tayler declined the nomination for re-election as Congress man on account of recent engagements as an attorney, but his friends were prompt in stating that this.dld not put him put of the race for the Governorship. The Armory, which has SOOO chairs, was well filled when Hon. P. H. Durr, of Cin cinnati, chairman of the state central committee, called the convention to order this afternoon. vThe leaders', notably Sen ator Hanna, Governor Nash, General Grosvenor, and visiting pollt'clans, were cheered as they entered. Chairman Durr reviewed fhc history ofthe last state cam paign and congratulated the party on the outlook for this year. Governor George K. Nash was then an- " Jp, HE EVER .SITS THERE: ' nounccd as temporary chairman. He was tendered an ovation on being Introduced. He spoTce a length of the action of the State Legislature in regard to taxation and corporations, saying: "The corporations should not be looked upon as enemies of the peoplef but as their friends, capable of still further de veloping and making useful the great re sources of our state, and giving to labor remunerative employment and to capital safe Investment. "I congratulate you," the Governor said, "that in the person of Theodore, Roosevelt we have a President from whose lips fell the solemn pledge to pur sue, without variation and untarnished, the great and beneficial policies of Will-v lam McKlnley. Our loved one has fallen, but the Nation and her people live to be blessed forever by his theories of gov ernment." Regarding the Philippines, Governor Nash said: "Our enemies may hurl their calumnies upon our soldiers and sailors and their anathemas upon honored representatives of our Government, but they cannot dim the glory of our flag, nor retard the day when the blessings of our free Institu tions will be enjoyed by that people. The 21 Congressional districts were called at the conclusion of Governor Nash's speech, and the selections made at the district meetings were announced for members of the new state committee, vice-presidents and assistant secretaries, and also the members of the committees oh credentials, permanent organization, rules and order of business. After the completion of other routine business, there were calls for Senator Hanna until ho was compelled to re spond, but he refused to discuss public questions In advance of the address of the permanent chairman. This declina tion In courlesy to General Grosvenor was accepted, and after a demonstration In honor of Senator Hanna, the conven- tlon adjourned, after being in session only an hour, until 10 A. M. tomorrow. The committees went Into session at once. The committee on resolutions or ganized with Congressman Dick as chair man. After the usual exchange of opin ions, the committee took a recess for din ner, till 8 o'clock. There is much talk In the open field for Hanna for President two years hence, as well as for bis re-election as Senator oy the Legislature that is to be chosen next year. There Is no opposition expressed to President Roosevelt. Those who are talking about the delegation to the next National convention say they do not want an anti-Roosevelt delegation, but one that would not be anti-Hanna In event of Pres ident Roosevelt not being nominated. There probably never was a state con vention of the dominant party held In Ohio in which Federal officeholders were so scarce as here, but their friends are In the lobbies. After the full committee on resolutions had been in session until after 11 P. M. a subcommittee, consisting of Dick, Hard ing and Tayler, was appointed to revise the draft of a platform, that General Dick had submitted, and that had been con sidered by sections. The principal change was in the plan of reciprocity. A reso lution offered by Albert A. Douglas, after minor changes, was substituted for the plank that General Dick had drafted on the mutter. The only contest in the com mittee was on the -resolution Indorsing the policy of President Roosevelt, and of the Ohio" Republican Congressmen, with the exception of Dick. In thi3 contest. Sen ator Hanna co-operated with Congress man Dick. The platform of the latter was adopted, with this single exception, by the -committee, and as modified it prob- I ably will be adopted by the convention. OREGON VOTE AS A TEST WILL SHOW TREND OF SENTIMENT ON "SCUTTLE" QUESTION. Washington Post Commendi Firm 'Stand of Republicans for the Pol icies of the Administration. WASHINGTON, May 27. The Washing, ton Post, a paper which prides Itself on its, independence and criticises both par ties and men in both parties, has an edi torial on the coming election in Orogon, which declares that the first test of pop ular feeling as to the Administration, the Philippines and other great questions pending before this country will show In this election. The Post says": The people of Oregon are In the throca of a political campaign that Is attended with all the excitement that could reasonably be ex pected In a game of solitaire. For some reason or reason? w g ch the outside world does not understand, and which are, perhaps, none of its business, Orecon prefers to run her cam paign when all the other states are quiet. Per haps the zlory of leading the procession and firing the first gun may ha e something to do with this firm persistence In lonesomeness. At any rate, It serves to attract attention, and gives the state a prominency In political dis cussion and Influence that she would not other wise posaess. More than once it lias happened that tho first gun, fired on the Pacific Coast, has boomed across the Rockies just in time to dampen the ardor or swell the enthusiasm of the National convention. This j ear's election In Oregon will occur on Monday next, June 2, and It Is not too much to say that the result will be extremely Instruct ive. Republicans are expected to win In both the Gubernatorial and Congressional canvasses, but there Is less of confidence as to the former than In the latter, by reason or personal In felicities. The issues are squarely drawn. The Republicans stand up manfully for the gold standard, retention of the Philippines and all other National policies of their party. The Democrats etand by their party leaders In Congress. The returns wjll be the -first test of popular feeling on National questions since the Roosevelt administration came In. They will give a bint of the trend of sentiment on the Philippine question the question of permanent retention, of sovereignty or independence under our protection. They will to some extent show what effect has been produced by the debates In Congress on this subject, and will aid in gauging the satisfaction or dissatisfaction of the people with the. party In power. President SipiiN Two Bills. WASHINGTON, May 27. The Cabinet spent much time today in discussing two important measures the Indian appropri ation and the omnibus claims bills.

Both measures were signed by the Presi dent. Brooded Over n Love Affair. BUTTE, Mont, May 27. I. P. Barrow sent two bullets crashing through his body in a front room In the Rogers block today.

Oregon and Washington fare remarkably .well in the river and harbor bill as reported by the conference committee today. Oregon, in cluding the Columbia River, gets i,559,0A). In the 10 years prior to McKlnley s finst administration, exclusive of the Cascades Improvement, the state secured but 54,607 -SS0, while the whole appropiiatlon for tho state and Columbia, exclusive of the Cas cades, has been $6,255,000. This Is a par ticularly creditable showing for Re-pie-sentative Tongue, who as a member of the river and harbor committee In the last two Congresses, has secured for tho Willamette River 5231,000, as against 52SS, 500 for that river in all previous bills; 552,000 for Tillamook, aa against $33,700 in previous bills, and now $225,000 for the Lower Willamette and the Columbia, a3 against 5500,000 In the preceding 10 years before the McKinley administration. Moreover, Oregon had a member on both enate and House committees handling these hills. This ear it has but one. The bill as agreed to carries the follow ing appropriations: Mouth of the Columbia, $500,000 cash, and contracts for 51.CO0.O00 additional; Willamette and Columbia, from Portland to the sea, 5225,000. of which 5175,000 is for the construction of a dredge for use in the river. Hart's project for a canal between The Dalles and Celllo Is adopted, and a bal ance of 5214,000. with an appropriation of 5100,000 additional, is made available for commencing work. The House conferees, however, secured a proviso that before entering on this work an examination shall be made by a board of engineers with a view of modifying the Hart plan in such a way as to diminish the cost. If it is found that the project cannot be Im proved and the cost reduced, the work will proceed without further delay, ac cording to the pending plans. The Columbia, between Vancouver and the mouth of the Willamette, gets 53 instead of 518,000 as per the Senate amend ment. For the Willamette above Port land, and the Yamhill, is appropriated 568,000.
