Proceeding, Mr. Teesler said: "The near er you can get your site to the center of town the better. If it could be got within walking distance It would be a great advantage, and I am convinced that if It were possible to walk to a fair it would Increase the attendance at least 20 per cent. Time is also a great con erderatlon, for people will ride on the cars for 10 minutes without Impatience who will not do it if 30 minutes is re quired. There are those who will tell ou that thla Is not so, that after people get on the cars It makes small difference whether the distance be small or great, but they are wrong, as I know from experience both here and in Europe. The evening attendance and evening attend ance la all profit Is greatly affected by distance. Make It possible for people to walk at least one way If you can manage It, ana by all means make it a short "and easy trip, with no annoyance from transfers or delays and no hazards which may make the hour of getting home un certain. "Put all your buildings where they can. be taken In from one point of view. It All Mills Unite to Resisl Boycott. COUNTER BOYCOTT By All Portland Sawmills, Planing Mills and Master Builders' Association. Whereas, The Building Trades Council and Federated Trade3 Council of this city have declared the manufactures of certain plan ing mills unfair by reason of the refusal of said planing mills to rec ognize the arbitrary demand of Local Union No. 6G of Amalga mated Woodworkers of America; and Whereas, The said Federation of unions Is thereby intending and attempting to boycott the manufacture of said planing mills so as to coerce them Into compliance with eald demands; and Whereas. The said system of boycotting is contrary to law and calculated to do Irreparable Injury, loss and damage to the said planing mills, and also to the interests of every manufacturer of and dealer In building materials, and to contractors ond other employers of labor In building lines and to the public at large; and Whereas, The said Federation of unions is by means of the said boycott directly Instrumental In working this Injury, loss and dam age upon every one engaged in the building operations of this city, and are meanwhile entirely Irresponsible for damages so resulting; therefore be It Resolved, That we, the undersigned, manufacturers of and deal ers In building materials, and contractors and employers engaged In building operations, do each declare against this said system of boy cotting and demand that the same be at once removed; and be It further Resolved, That, unless such boycott Is removed and building op erations permitted, to go along without the constant menace of boy cotts and threats from said Building Trades Council and Federated Trades Council, we wll.l not furnish any materials In our respective lines to persons participating In or -enforcing said boycott until the salH tederatedVunlohsrelltlrely cease from boycotting the manufactures of ahy mill 6r mills, and cease frdm boycotting contractors engaged in tha.buildlng-operatIcfls of. ttila city.

CONTRACTORS ARE ALSO IN "Call Off Boycott, or We'll Boycott You," They Say, FRAME POINTED RESOLUTIONS They Will Furnish IVo Material ic Any Persons Participating In Enforcement of "Unfair Order. f m i 9 o e The sawmnio of Portland have united with the planing mills In fighting the unions; and the combination has be sides the active support of the Master Builders Association. It was yester day djecided to institute a counter-boycott 4tgalnst the Building Trades Coun cil ?und Federated Trades Council, un less the "unfair" ban la removed from the prcducts of the planing mills. This means that the building contractors propose to buy material from the plan ring mills and run the risk of another etrike by carpenters and afflWated unions; and that neither sawmlll3 nor planing mills will soli to persona par ticipating In or enforcing the boycott. I .10. k .: a good deal of talk with him, among others, respecting the lessons enforced by experience here both as to Its successes and its failures. "One of our mistakes," said Mr. Tessier, "and a mistake almost universally made. Is to take up too much ground for fair purposes. In general, French experience in fair matters may be qafely followed, and the uniform French practice la to bunch the buildings in such way as to make them convenient and to make the most of the crowds. The great Paris expositions are held right in the heart of the city and the largest space any one of them has occupied was 67 acres. It Is surprising what crowds can be bandied on small tracts. To Illustrate, there Is In London a famous place for sports known as Earl's Court. It is, or was a few years ago, "under the manage ment of one Of the Klralfy brothers, and lb Is the dally resort of many thousands of people. It contains buildings of various sizes and kinds and would in every way be suited to the purposes of a general exposition. One day when I was there some- three years ago Mr. Klralfy told me that the day's attendance was 1SO.C0O per sons, and while the place seemed full there was no uncomfortable crowding. My presmptlon was that the area within the enclosure was not less than 25 acres, and you may'amaglno my surprise when I was told by Klralfy there was a bare six and one-half acres, of which certainly one-half was covered by buildings. "A small site with wide walks and with every possible convenience for the com fort of the crowd is In every way to be preferred to a great site which costs 'much to Improve and police, In which any ' thing but a great attendance is. lost by being scattered and which Is Inconvenient from its long and unnecessary distances. Here In Charleston our exposition grounds are more than a mile long and the result Is that today, when the attendance Is perhaps 10,000, there seems nobody here. Again, as you must have noticed, Ma chinery Hall and those minor buildings at the extreme end of the grounds are given the go-by by a large proportion I of those who visit the fair, and so they. Is more convenient for visitors, helps in making the Impression of magnificence, and Is a mighty aid In producing those electric effects at night which is so large an element In the charm of the modern exposition. The French understand this as no other people on earth do, and their expositions are always distinguished for those general artistic effects which are possible only when the building scheme is a compact one. 'Your first care at Portland should, of course, be with respect to your site and general plan of which I have spoken, but when these points are settled you will And that your troubles have ohly Just be gun. There are many ways of building an exposition, and in most Instances one of the wrong ways is employed. We did the wrong thing and our buildings cost us a great deal more than they should on that account. "We employed an architect to make our plans, and then paid him a percentage on their cost. The architect and he Is one of the best men In the pro fessionmade 55O.0OO out of us, when with a little better management more than half of this sum could have been saved, not to mention the saving If we had put up lighter and cheaper buildings. The best possible Investment for an. exposition very early In Its career Is to employ a competent, hard-headed, practical builder on a salary and put the building scheme in his hands. He will save you untold sums and will give you effects quite as good as If you spend a fortune in mak ing an architect's fair, and pay out un told sums in the form of professional fees. . "In exposition as in other matters where there Is much executive detail it pays to centralize your authority as much as pos sible. A large general governing board Is not a bad thing, for there Is oftentimes wisdom in a multitude of counselors, but when It comes to action there ought never to be one moment's doubt as to whom Is In authority. I believe In an official head, and think that head ought'to Union strength will be tested to Its ut most. In the present fight between the federated unions and the Master Builders' Association. The manufacturers and deal ers In building materials and contractors and employers engaged in building opera tions have aJ united as pne toody, and declare they will fight the union Issue to 1 bitter end. Union rule or union death Is involved. The employers com bination is one of great strength, and has In its membarshlp all of the leading firms In ench special line of work con nected "with the building trades. The unions will be able to put up a strong light, as the action of the employers cm be Interpreted as a lock-out, and the men draw a weekly benefit from the Na tional strike fund. The action of the em ployers yesterday, In refusing to deal In any way with persons or llrms or com panies who assist In the boycott declared upon the mills, will entirely stop all build ing operations until the boycott Is re moved or nonunion men can be secured. Union planing mills will not be able to htart, for all of the sawmills have signed this agreement, which will prevent their selling lumber to union mills. Lumber will not be shipped in from outside points, for the contractors have also joined In the fight and will demand that men work ing for them use the miterlal from the home mills. How the Building Trades Council will meet this move cannot be said until after their next meeting. They realize that the situation Is grave, Indeed, and that their next move must be deliberate and strong. At a meeting of the sawmill men and the p'.anlng-mlll men, yesterday after noon, the projected movement against the union was given active form. The res olutions adopted are but the outward ex pression of a spirit that has existed among them for some? time, but for po litical reasons It has not been before mide public. The planlng-mlll men have for some time past had assurances from the employers In various other lines of building that they would be supported In every possible way, and as evidence ot their sincerity approximately ?300 per week has been contributed to assist the planlng-mlll men In meeting the losses caused them by lying idle. Last Tuesday, the first day after elec tion, a meeting was called between the sawmill and planlng-mlll owners. There were some who did not receive notice of the meeting, and the attendance was In complete. All who were absent, how ever, were known to be heartily In favor of any action to oppose the boycott upon the planing mills, and a committee was appointed to frame a plan of action. The accompanying resolutions were drawn up and submitted at yesterday's meeting for approval. A full attendance was at hand, and all approved of the method proposed. The names signed to the resolution prac tically represent all of the employing building interests of Portland, and they pledge themselves to stand as one or ganization until the present trouble with the union Is definitely settled. An authorized representative of the mill- men, who has been present at all of their meetings, yesterday said: "The document Is signed by 14 manufac turers In the special lines of work, and Is also signed on behalf of the Master Build ers' Association by a committee ot four contractors appointed to confer with the millmen. The resolution is indorsed, and signed by the Master Builders' Associa tion, composed of practically all the con tractors In the building business In the city. These employers who have signed the document Insist that the boycott of the planing mills Is a direct blow at the building Industry of the city, and that Its use is destructive of all legitimate busi ness. No new contracts are being placed; no mill orders can be safely placed; It cannot be known whether a building when once begun can be completed, and it is the intention of parties concerned to In sist that the unions shall call off the boy cott and allow the question between the (Concluded on Eighth Page.)
