CLERGY AND STRIKE
Pastors Express Opinions of
Labor Troubles.
PRESS CLAIMS OF ARBITRATION
General Sentiment Among the Eccle
siasts Is That "Warres Should In
crease In Same Ratio ai Rents
and Other Expenses.
"Arbitration Is the only method by
which the strike can be settled." This
was the general sentiment expressed by
several prominent members of the Port
land clergy, yesterday afternoon. How
ever, the pastors differed on some vital
points In th existing difficulties, some
favoring the contractors and others being
enthusiastic supporters of the union work
men's cause.
tj. vmiitn n nandalL of the Inde
pendent Baptist Church, spoke briefly last
night on Industrial conditions In Portland
and elsewhere. He said lri part:
"It Is paradoxical that a period of good
feeling in the political world, and pros
perity and prospect In the commercial
world, should be attended with determined,
fierce struggle In the Industrial realm.
Captains of Industry and labor organisa
tions wage war upon the industrial chess
board. Utter defeat of the opponent
seems to be the fixed purpose of each.
The Portland situation Is a local mani
festation of a very general Industrial
unrest. Strikes are the volcanic erup
tions that follow deep, pent-up convic
tions and purposes.
The existence of a labor question Is evi
dence of race progress, complimentary to
manhood and to no degree unfortunate.
For men to improve their condition Is a
right and a duty. It would be Infinitely
worse If there wss no labor question; no
deep convictions and large aspirations
forming In men's breast. It would be
Infinitely better If there was co-operation
In the place of clashing; sympathy in
stead of strife.
"It would be unbecoming for a minister
to rush into the market place with a
panacea for the industrial-and social Ills.
It is. however, the duty of the Chrintlan
church and ministry to stand flrmly for
the rights of all men, and to speak un
equivocally when moral elements are In
volved In the question of trie day. The
permanent cure of Industrial Ills Is the
recognition of the solidarity of humanity
the principle that the Interests of all
mankind Intertwine and are Interdepend
ent; that all members of the social fab
ric are under perpetual obligation to all
other members; that every person has In
alienable rights that must not be tramp
led by any man or combination of men.
He who stealthily approaches various
buildings with torch In hand may burn
our city. He who Inflames human hearts
and fans hate Into fury Is the greater
destroyer and criminal.
"There Is always something to arbitrate
when men differ. The party which de
clines to submit differences for adjust
ment defeats or defers the cure of In
dustrial Ills. Public censure Is properly
Imposed, and Inevitable.
That men have a right to organize for
mutual advantage la not debatable. It is
unfortunate that In Portland we hear
echoes of the Intemperate, unfortunate
words of president David M. Parry, of the
National Association of Manufacturers. In
his recent arraignment of organized labor.
Ill will Is engendered and retaliation in
vlted when the primary rights of men are
publicly questioned. It Is gratifying that
our Industrial unions are discountenanc
ing disorder and keeping their records
clean.
"It Is unfortunate that Portland Is
stirred almost exclusively by one motive
the dollar sign, vastly more Important
that the 1905 Fair, or business stagnation,
is the reweldlng of our dividing Interests.
Without this the future Is unpromising.
"Let there be no coercion, no Intimida
tion. No battle for a minimum wage for
mechanics that are Inferior workmen. The
American people love fair play. They
will give their support to the cause that
Is right. Let a revival of corTfldence In
one another be promoted. The outcome of
the case recently submitted to the An
thracite Coal Strike Commission warrants
all parties to the Portland case In start'
lng the wheels of Industry tomorrow
morning. Let work be resumed, and the
questions of wages and hours adjusted at.
an early date. The message la contained
In three words, arbitration, conciliation,
confidence.
community for years to come. But far I
more regrettable that the actual loss la
dollars and cents is the loss- In cordial
good will and co-operation which ought
to exist between X our citizens, v ery
hasDllr. as I understand It a remedy Is
In sight. Suggestions of arbitration have
come from both cartles Immediately in
terested. Now It Is the duty of the public
to encourage and create such a sentiment
In favor of arbitration that not only tms
difficulty, but such troubles as may arise
In the future can be at once amicably
adjusted. Arbitration Is an Ideal method
of settlement, provided there-be sufficient
public sentiment to uphold It. After all.
public sentiment Is the real, ruler of this
country. Let us say to both parties. "Get
together and arbitrate your atnerences.
and then we will all work together for
the good of our city."
"It Is not right for the unions to dictate
to the nonunion workmin as to what he
shall and what be shall not do." said Rev.
E. L. House, pastor of the First Congre
gational Church, yesterday afternoon.
"Nonunion men have a right to work If
they want to. end for what wages they
want, or what Is the good of this free
country of oursT I believe In the labor
ing man getting all he can In a fair and
legitimate manner. Workmen1 should be
classified as skilled and unskilled work
men. Within the past tS hours two em
ployers affected by the strike have told
me .that they are willing to pay as high
as H per day for good, first-class men. but
that there are many who are not worth
IZ.UI. A tain who can driTe nails Is not a
carpenter. I believe that an experienced
workman should receive more pay than
the workman who has Just finished his
apprenticeship. There is no doubt but
that arbitration Is the only practical and
satisfactory method of settling these diffi
culties. If an arbitration board, to which
all disputes were referred, were in exist
ence, I think these strikes coald easily be
avoided. The union men are now willing
to arbitrate. The proper time for arbitra
tion has passed. The difficulty should

The consensus of reports of the frultmen
In this section regarding the fruit pros
pects for this year Is that there Is every
certainty of the usual large crop lor
which the Rogue River Valley Is cele
brated. The apples are now well In bloom,
some varieties being fully set. as also Is
the case with the pears. The prune crop
Is exceedingly promising, of which there
k a large area grown In this valley.
Caemes. peaches and apneots were
damaged somewhat by the freeze of a
few days ago. but the yield win be rally
two-thirds of a crop. Some of the crops
have not been injured at all by the frost.
The almond orchards, of which there are
several large ones In this section, fared
about like the cherries and peaches, two-
thirds of a crop.
The vineyards of this valley are all in
a very promising condition and with the
vines that are Just coming Into bearing
will give the largest yield of grapes this
season, ever known In Southern Oregon.
The slight damage caused by frost to the
tenderer fruits is a matter of rare oc
currence In Southern Oregon. It being
several years since any damage was done
by frost, to even so tender trees as the
almonds.
The acreage planted to new orchards
this last winter is nearly double that of
any previous season and the young trees
are all starting the good growth. The

At the MIzpah Presbyterian Church
Rev. Jerome McGlade spoke last night on
the topic 'The Principle of Mediation In
Its Social and Religious Bearings." He
spoke from the text, "Neither Is there
any daysman betwixt us that might lay
his hands upon us both." and "There is
one mediator between God and men. the
man. Jrsus Christ." Mr. McGlade referred
to the Industrial conditions In this city.
rpeaklng In part as follows:
There Is larger precedent now for the
employment of arbitration than ever. It
has become a national and an Interna
tional factor in the world's peace. Its
results are very commendable, though
they might have been greatly multiplied.
General Grant once said: Though I have
been, trained as a soldier and have par
tldnated In many battles, there never was
a time. In my opinion, when some way
could not have been found for preventing
the drawing of the sword. I look for
ward to an epoch when a court recognized
by all nations will settle international
differences. There Is larger room for the
employment of arbitration In the social
and Industrial world, and just at present
a situation exists in our city that needs
Just such means of adjustment. Some of
the facts are as follows:
"Differences of opinion are found to
exist as to the scale of wages that should
be adopted.
"A contention arises as to the employ,
lng of union and nonunion men.
The building Interests of the public are
suffering.
The family of the employe are In need
of his dally earnings.
The pressure of the Influence of many
fair-minded citizens Is bearing upon the
matter, represented by such a man as
Mayor imams.
"Both contending parties wish for an
cany adjustment of the difficulty.
No doubt principles are Involved
which either party feels to be JusL But
these principles will not suffer at the
hands of a board of mediation. Then this
seems the safest, quickest means that
can be secured. Let there be daysmen or
umpires appointed, wno. representing fslr
ly the Interests of all concerned, shall lay
their hands of reconciliation upon both
parties at variance. Let us follow after
the turns that mike for peace."
Rev. Andrew J. Montgomery, of the
Third Presbyterian -Church, yesterday
morning preluded his regular sermon by
a one! statement on me industrial condl
tions in Portland. He said In part:
"The people of Portland are face to
fa Co with a very grave condition of
affairs. The strike has assumed propor
tions which cause anxiety to every citizen
and to every Interest In the city We are
co dependent one upon the other that the
-welfare of ono Is the welfare of all. and
harm to one Is harm to all. The further
continuance cf the present strike, be the
causes which led to It ever so Just and
right, would be a serious matter. No
mutter what the outcome might be. the
loss Inflicted would be appalling. It Is
possible to strike a blow at this time
-"i!eh ,!! cripple th i a i
Rev. John C Hughes, pastor of St. Law
rence's Church, said: The Catholic
churches, of course, lean toward the la
boring man, I must admit. The greater ;
part of our congregations is made up of
the laboring class of people, and It Is
quite natural that we priests should sym
pathize with them as long as we know
that they ere not overstepping the bounds
of Justice. As to the wages paid In Fort-
land, I am not well enough acquainted
with the conditions to make a statement.
The laboring man has as good a right to
protect himself against his employer as
the -employer has to co-ope rite with other
dealers In order to raise the price of the
necessities of life. Groceries and rents I
know to be much higher this year than
for many years; in fact the prices are
still advancing. Why ahould labor not
advance correspondingly? A seven-room
house In my parish, that recently rented
for lis per month, has been raised to
U7.W within the past three months. An
advance of SO cents per day In wages
would little more than cover this ex
pense, to say nothing of that Incurred as
a result of advancing prices In groceries.
This Is merely my opinion. I am not suffi
ciently versed In the existing condltlsns
to make more detailed remarks."
Rev. John E. Simpson, of St. Mark's
Episcopal Church, stated that he had not
given the matter sufficient attention to
Justify an opinion, but that he knew that
rents and household necessities had ad
vanced materially during the past year.
and stated that he knew of houses In his
parish that were drawing 40 per cent more
rent now than 18 months ago. "Arbitra
tion Is the only way to settle the trou
ble," said the Rev. Mr. Etlmson. "and the
sooner this is done, of course, the better
It will be for all concerned. I believe.
however, that a man has a right to .work
for whatever wages be pleases, ana mil
no person or persons have a right to dic
tate to him."
"Give the laboring man the benefit of
the doubt," said Rev. W. B. Hogan. pas
tor of St. Patrick's Cithollc Church. "He
certainly needs It, and there Is no danger
of him getting any more than Is coming
to him. Let the prices of groceries, rents
and all other necessities advance, but let
labor go up correspondingly. The unions
of today are the only salvation of the
laboring class. The trusts have caused
the organization of labor. Give the laborer
the advantage always when the question
Is In doubt. Arbitration is the only rem
edy, and the sooner both parties resort to
it the better It will be for the City of
Fortland.
I have given the subject very little
thought," said Rer. E. P. Hill, pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church. "Arbi
tration should be resorted to at once, or
the growth of Portltnd win be greatly
damaged. The laborers and contractors
are Irritating eacn otner unnecessarily.
when the whole matter can be quickly
settled by a little good Judgment on the
part of either organization."

BOT TERRIBLY IXJVRED.
Br Blanket Rope Was Escaping;
From Reform School.
SALEM. Or.. April 2& SpeclaL-Lee
Jacks, a 11-year-old boy, was probably
fatally injured at an early hour thla morn
ing while trying to escape from tho State
Reform School. Jacks and a companion
made a rope of blankets and sheets, and
at 4 o'clock this morning they tied one end
of the rope to a bed and dropped the other
out of the window of their room, which
was on the third floor. Jacks undertook
to climb down the rope, but when he had
reached within 24 feet of the ground the
contrivance broke. He struck a cement
sidewalk, breaking both legs above the
knees. His lower Jaw was fractured, and
be may have sustained internal Injuries.
He was brought to the Salem Hospital.
where Drs. Tamlesle and Boyd attended
him. They have little hope of his recov
ery. Jacka was brought to the Reform
School from Portland, but his parents now
reside In California. He is a half-brother
of Otto Sklbbe. the high diver, of Astoria,
who was terribly mangled under a freight
train near Salem over a year ago, but
afterward recovered.

SEATTLE, April 26. A special to the
Post-Intelllgencer from Dawson says
sluicing on all the creeks In the Klon
dike began today. Duncan Creek Is
turning out a second Bonanza, and an In
crease Is looked for on all the old creeks.
The estimated output for the present year
Is given as I1S.O0O.O0O as against ti2.000.000
for last year.
Governor Congdon makes the statement
that Canada will not establish an assay
and gold purchasing office at Dawson, as
none Is needed. This means that Seattle
will continue to handle nearly all of the
Northern gold as In the past.
Overland trail traffic has ceased and the
river navigation, it is expected, will be
opened by May 20. Store stocks are low
and large early shipments are looked for

ROBBER WITH SLOUCH HAT
Holds Dp W. P. CrosrelL hnt Secures
Only Small Amount of Chance.
W. P. Crowell. who lives at 651 Belmont
street, was held up last night and robbed
of a small amount of money. A single
highwayman did the work, and wore no
mask.
Crowell was on his way home about 10:15
o'clock In the evening. At Twelfth and
East Burnslde streets be was stopped by
an Imperative order to "throw up hla
hands." and at the same time a shining
object was thrust very close to his nose.
As he had only a small amount of loose
change he concluded that It was cheaper
to comply with the order.
The description of the highwayman Is
much the same as the descriptions that
have been given of the highwayman dur
ing the past few weeks. He Is about 5
feet 7 Inches tall and wears a white slouch
hat.

full of growing trade, as well as that
their lawmakers "should grasp the oppor

logic of the situation and the reasonable
ness of the demands were unanswerable.
The work done In Minneapolis was di
rected to the Legislature solely.
Indorsed In Both Cities.
The Commercial Club of Minneapolis.
the most powerful body of that city, un
der the leadership of Its wide-awake sec
retary, n. G. Nye, pasiod unanimously
tne following resolution:
Whereas. The people of Oregon are arrang
ing to hold an exposition at Portland In 1903.
in commemoration of tne centennial anniver
sary of the Lewi and Clark expedition, at
which exposition It seems advisable that there
shall be an exhibit of the resources o( Minne
sota: therefore.
Resolved, by the public attain committee of
the Minneapolis Commercial Club, That we
look with favor upon the proposed exposition
at Portland In 1903, believing that such exhibit
will be of advantage to the manufacturers.
Jobbers and other Interests of Minnesota.
Resolved, further. That we recommend that
the state exhibit gathered for the St. Louis
Fair be preserved and transferred to Portland
for the Exposition of 1906. and that we also
urre upon the State Legislature to make pro
vision for such transfer at the present session.
so that proper space may be secured for state
exhibits, and ample opportunity be given to
arrange piirate exhibits for the Fair at Port
land. Letters to leaders of various factions
were obtained from Jobbers and bankers
and prominent citizens urging In the most
positive terms prompt and decisive action
upon the matter. After several days of
this kind of work pursued with as much
vigor as time and opportunity would per
mit, armed with a valise full of such doc
uments. Dr. Coe continued the work In
St. Paul.
The St. Paul Chamber of Commerce took
the matter up promptly. Its president,
Theodore F. Smith, addressed .the Gov
ernor In a communication, which, among
other things, said:
It seems to us highly desirable that we be
thoroughly and fully represented at the Lewis
and Clark Centennial, and we know that you
are fully In accord with anything that win
advertise the great Bute of Minnesota. We
will highly appreciate It it yon will give Dr.
Coe all assistance that la necessary to carry
out the project which Is destined to be of such
value to this commonwealth.
Other powerful Influences were also en
listed from this city, and by Friday after
noon, the last day In which serious work
was done by the Legislature, matters were
In riiape to bring the question before this
body. Mr. Nye, from the Minneapolis
Chamber of Commerce, and Mr. Smith,
from the St, Paul body, were on hand
ready to do all that should be necessary,
while Governor Van Sant was busy with
plans for the same. No one, however.
gave any assurance that the measure
would pan. Senators and Representatives
who became enlisted and Interested In the
measure only promising to do what they
could, because they recognized the abso
lute correctness of the procedure from
the standpoint of Minnesota s Interests,
and also because they felt that they could
not do less than take a stand so strongly
urged by such powerful local Interests,
Everywhere It was said, "It Is too late to

Wins Senate In Five Mlnntes.
Xt 30 P. M., Lieutenant-Governor Jones
called the attention of the Senate to the
fact that a commissioner of the Lewis and
Clark Exposition was with the body, read
the commission, and Invited Dr. Coe to
speak to the Senate.
His addrem covered, but five minutes,
In which time In a rapid and emphatic
manner he presented the subject. He said
he realized the lateness of the hour, and
would on this account take but five min
utes to tell the story he had come 2000
miles to present, Oregon would appreciate
the honor shown her by this courtesy to
her representative. Minnesota, as the first
great manufacturing and Jobbing state
reached In the Journey east from Coast
had as much or a greater Interest In the
Fair as Oregon had. The North Pacific
country belonged to the Jobbers here. If
they took their own. The Coast cities
were opening up a mighty empire beyond
for American goods, and every farmer In
Minnesota was Interested In the great ex
porting port where this Fair was to be
held.
The form of th.e motion to be made was
referred to. Attention was called to the
fact that any one opposed to the move
might find captious or technical objec
tions to action upon its being a diversion
of funds or on other various grounds. The
real question was. Did Minnesota want to
grasp the present opportunity of saving
from 130.000 to 175,000 by the simple meth
od under consideration, or did she wish
to allow her great exhibit to become dissi
pated, so that she would be obliged two
years hence to ask for a large sum of
money to gather together another one like
it? Would her Legislature listen to the
requests of her responsible commercial
bodies and business Interests, save the
present exhibit, and have only a small ap
propriation required two years hence or
not? If the senate desired to further the
proposed plans. It was asked that the form
of the measure, tne best which could be
devised, should be promptly parsed with
out debate or amendment, leaving to
friendly Governor and Board of Corn mis
sloners Its execution; In which event, as a
former resident of the State of Minneso
ta of 20 years, and as the son of a man
who bad a third of a century been a mem
ber of this same legislative body, he would
pledge his word that his old. state should
have. In space and facilities, the very best
which the Lewis & Clark Exposition could
give. The address met with a hearty re
ception, and Senator Wilson, of Minneap
olis', a former North Dakota, friend of the
commissioner, then presented the meas
ure, as follows:
Resolution Is Fused.
Be It resolved, by the Senate of the State of
Minnesota, the House concurring. That the
board of commissioners of the State of Minne
sota to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition to
be held la Sr. Louis; Ma, In the year 1904. are
hereby directed, so far as possible, care fully
to preset ve said exhibit at St. Louis, with a
view to the further use of the same at the
Lewis and Clark Ccntennal and Oriental Fair,
to be held In Portland. Or, tn the year 1905.
and saM commission Is directed carefully to
pack said exhibit at the dose of the said St.
Louts Exposition, and to have the aanw trans
ported at once for said Lewis and Clark Cen
tennial and Oriental Fair directly to Portland.
Or.
Senator Wilson then addressed the Sen
ate, saying that for a ereat many years
he had known Dr. Coe. whose reputation
for responsibility and ability, and whose
standing as a professional and business
man was not confined either to Oregon or
to Minnesota, and that whatever pledges
he should make aa to the care of Minne
sota's Interests In Portland, he knew
would be carried out, and that In view
of all the circumstances he was glad to
move the adoption of the measure.
Senator Pugh, of Duluth. who remarked
that Dr, Coe made friends and kept them.
and who was a member of the Dakota
Legislature with Dr. Coe IS years pre
viously, seconded the motion, and the Sen
ate emphatically passed the same without
a dissenting vote.
The measure was then hurried Into the
House. It had been arranged with the
Speaker that after the same should be
read and the concurrence of the House
requested, the Commissioner should be
called upon to discuss the same, but an
enthusiastic doctor friend In that body
quickly arose and moved concurrence.
which promptly and unanimously carried.
Dr. Babcock. the Speaker, then mnounced
that Dr. Coe was In the House, and that
he should be' glad to have him address
tne House, which he briefly did. explain
ing the scope and extent of the proposed
imposition and congratulating Minnesota
upon her ability to make 375,000 tn 30 min
utes, and promising his best efforts in
behalf of his former state.
The attitude of the people here Is mani
fested by what some of the papers here
have said. The Minneapolis Tribune fa
vored the subject In an article under the
heading. "Killing Two Birds With One
Stone," published before- the measure
came up. The Evening Journal, of Min
neapolis, had an article under the caption.
"Saves Largo Amount. Plan of Making
One Exhibit Do for Two Expositions
Adopted by Legislature."
The Pioneer Press In an article spoke
favorably of the Portland Fair and said
the transfer of the St. Louis exhibit would
save at least 60,000 of state money.
The St, Paul Globe, under the heading.
"Quick Action Was x Surprise to Coe,'
spoke of the action of the St. Paul Com
merclal Club, and of the benefits to be de
rived from an exhibit at Portland.
These and other newspaper articles show
conclusively the deep .Interest which the
people of this state now have In the Port
land enterprise, end that an appropria
tion is to be made xt the next session,
which, added to what she is now giving,
will put Minnesota's completed exhibit
near the 1100.000 mark.
Van Sant Oregon's Friend.
Governor Van Sant Is Oregon s very
great friend. He has already made notes
for his regular message two years hence.
and he has emphatically promised to rec
ommend an early and additional appro
priation for the Fortland Fair.
Commissions from Charleston were be
fore the Legislature of Minnesota at the
time of the Buffalo Exposition seeking
for a transfer ot the exhibit to Charles
ton, but they utterly failed In their mis
sion, although making "a vigorous attempt
to carry their measure, sr. coe, wnen
complimented upon the better success of
his work, disclaimed any credit on ac
count of special personal effort, but
ascribed the success to the unanswerable
logic of events favorable to Portland.
"Even the closing of the Minneapolis mills
on Thursday." said he, "worked to our
very marked advantage on Friday, al
though on Saturday, when the report got
abroad that It was done as a market
measure, such matter would not have In
fluenced the result In the least."
