GRAVE TROUBLE CERTAIN United States Will Now Take a Hand in" the Affair, HAY WAITING ON ROOSEVELT Partial Evncnntlon by Czar's Troops Now Believed to Have Been a Blind China Will Not Re sort to Arms. Russia, has broken her promise, to the powers by returning- to Manchuria, and It Is plain she' intends to nght to re tain that province. The powers -will call her to account. The Czar Is moat afraid of the Influence of the United States, and will use the argument that KufVlan development of Manchuria will open a great field for American trade, while opposition may provoke violent retaliation. PEKIN, May 8. Along with the report of the reoccupatlon of Manchuria by Rus sia comes the news from Niu Chwang that on their return there the Russian troops brought with them several large guns. A large force has been ordered to reoccupy TienTschwan Tai. The Russians have 14,000 troops between the mouth of the Llao River and Port Arthur. The Rus sians are reported to be concentrating forces on the hill near Llao Lung, com manding the road between there and the Yalu River, and they have arranged to havo a large quantity of provisions de livered at Niu Chwang. This coup caused profound surprise here, as recent developments had led to the ex .peclutlon -hatRbssia -would. .onipro"mlfce her demands, since they had been revealed to the powers. This latest maneuver is viewed as a refusal of Russia to yield to the protests of the powers and as a dec laration that she is ready to fight In order to maintain possession of Manchuria It is considered significant that the Rus sian army has occupied strategic points at about the time the Russian naval rein forcements were mobilized In the Gulf of Pe-Chl-LL The temporary withdrawal of the Russian troops from Niu Chwang is believed to have been a feint to avert suspicion from the contemplated policy until the Russian squadron was within useful distance. It has been reported recently that Rus sia was accumulating great stores of pro visions and war materials. It is Impos sible to confirm the reports, but It la known that the Russian military authori ties have been buying many horses, and all the Information Indicates that Russia is preparing to Increase and not decrease her forces in Manchuria. The Foreign Ministers yesterday dis cussed information to the effect that the Ruarians had taken a large tract of land across the river from Niu Chwang, com manding the terminus of the Shan Hal Kwan Railroad. It Is stated that Russia Informed the Chineso officials that the track Was needed for a Russian drill ground. The selection of the site seemed remarkable, because all the troops were then quartered on the opposite side of the river, several miles distant, where plenty of land was available. The Chinese officials describe the Dow ager Empress as being greatly distressed and as fearing that the Russian aggres sion will excite anti-foreign demonstra tions, resulting in the Introduction of more foreign troops. Nowhere has a suggestion been heard that China will resort to arms in order to resist Russia. Prince Chine the Grand Secretary, yesterday secured five days' leave or absence. This Is a favorite stratagem of Chinese officials who are de sirous of averting unpleasant situations. It Is stated here that Russian Influence Is being exerted to conciliate American opinion, and that appeals are being made to the traditional friendship of the two nations, with the argument that Hiuai.-in development of Manchuria will open a great field for American commerce, while the opposition of the United StatM n Russia's plans might provoke retaliation (not &TnAr1iviti t?n rrU t ' have established a Consulate at Moukden.' UNITED STATES TO TAKE A HAND. Will Co-operate With Other Nations or Appeal Direct to Russia. "WASHINGTON. "Ma JLPenrtl. tiatlons in the Manchurian matter have been hampered by the inability of this Government to act Jointly with other na tions Without Violating its trnrflHnnc Tntf it is now hinted that some plan of co operation witn Jirngiana and Japan may be devised which will havi th orrtt- nf convincing the Russian government of the unuea determination or tne three nations to insist upon Russia's evacuation of Manchuria, while not actually committing the United States to a formal alliance. This Drocramma is xublwfr tn th -n proval of the President. If It Is not looked upon with favor by him, the state depart ment may fall back upon Its former meth od of individual representation .to Russia and ask another explanation or the hap penings In Manchuria. In such event, Rus sia's answer Is already forecasted by the officials here. Under the Russian representation to the powers the troops were to have withdrawn from Nu Chwang Just one month ago today. It Is understood as a matter of fact that a portion of the Russian force was withdrawn from barracks in the. city to tents outside. It is presumed from Pekln advices that these troops have now returned to the city. However, it is pointed out that Russia employed a saving clause In the. promise to withdraw from Manchuria, the language being, "provided, however, that the action of other powers shall not stand In the -way." Russia, It Is understood, now holds that this provision was violated by Japan when she mobilized her fleet and otherwise showed signs of military preparations, which were construed as a menace to Russia. Accompanying the news of the re-occupation of New Chwang comes a warning from our agents in China that the Russian attitude is injuring the chances of the treaty which Mr. Conger and Consul General Goodnow have- been negotiating with China, Involving the opening to American trade of the ports of Taku-Shan and Moukden, In Manchuria. The latest advices are that the treaty Is already prac tically lost owing to Russian opposition. This fact is construed tcr give the United States a direct Intimation of what Is hap pening in Manchuria. Baron von Sternberg and Sir Michael Herbert both called at the State Depart ment today. It was believed that their visits were In some degree connected with the Manchurian situation. Roosevelt Has No Word From Hay. LOS ANGELES. May 8. The attention of President Roosevelt was today called to a dispatch from Washington stating that Secretary, Hay waa in communica tion with him regarding the Increase of the Russian garrison at Niu Chwang, Manchuria. It was further asserted that the Secretary of State was only awaiting the President's approval of his course to take vigorous action, even to the extent of a joint protest by Japan, England and the United States. President Roosevelt said that he had re-" celved no communication from Secretary Hay regarding the affair. He had not been asked to approve of the course in dicated, and, in fact, had never heard of the matter before. Welcome Action by America. LONDON, May 9. The daily papers this morning warmly welcome the prospect of the United States instituting Joint action with Great Britain and Japan against the designs of Russia in Manchuria. They be lieve that such concerted action would In duce Russia to beat a prudent retreat. The Standard says: "The only fault that can be found with the diplomacy of the United States In the far East has been Its excessive caution and reluctance to co-operate with the Eu ropean powers. Now, however, that Rus sia has dropped the mask. "Washington's forbearance Is exhausted, and If the United States has the will it has the power to en force its views on the sanctity of treaties." The Morning Post thinks it would be prudent to wait until President Roosevelt has made his decision known, and com ments upon the momentous effects of such a disturbance of the balance of power in the far East as the intervention of the United States would involve. JAPAN IS READY FOR WAR. It Has RecrHlted Its Forces Until They Are New Almost Eerfect. , SAN FRANCISCO, May S.-At the- 3?al aro is I. Shimlzu. the recently ap pointed Japanese Consul at Chicago, who arrived yesterday on the Nippon Maru on the way to his new post. The news this morning that Japan Is expecting to take a decisive step in regard to Russia's posi tion in Manchuria was also news to Shimlzu, who left the Island Empire on April 1. "You see, this trouble waa not brewing when I left Japan over a month ago," he said today, with a solid diplomacy. "But the Japanese policy is to 'prepare for war in time of peace,' and this my country hag followed for ome time. The state ment that the arsenals are working day and night and turning out vast amounts of military stores may be true. For the past four years the government has aimed at building up a standing army which should be ready and capable of entering the lists in case of international trouble. "Now I believe that In equipment, train ing and quality of the soldiers, the Jap anese army has almost reached a point of perfection. At present It numbers about 150,000 men, splendid fighters, perfectly drilled and trained. The Japanese sol diers are small, but they are quick and active, which is more important in battle than to be tall. Japan has no intention of remaining quietly In the background In the event of trc-uble, and we are always preparing for possible complications in China." CHINA ALREADY IS YIELDING. She Will Not Open New Ports Because Russia Forbids It. LONDON. Mav 9. In a Man Pekin the correspondent of the Times says me situation in regard to Manchuria Is not Improving. China already is yielding. She is afraid to oncn new tivntv nnrtt nnri she has instructed her treaty commission- era not to discuss the proposed openings with the AmprlMn fnmmlcolniin K cause Russia forbids It. But to the Amer ican ana other Ministers interested, con tinues the correspondent, China protests that she never intended to open new ports and that her action hns Tint hon influ enced by Russian menaces. The weakness of the Chineso Foreign Office Is distressing, and excites pity that the the country should be dependent In such a crisis upon "such a decrepit Min istry. Na Tung, the most feeble of them, is at present absent In Japan. In the meantime, the Times' correspondent says in conclusion. TJendlnc thf nrrli-ol r r Lessar, the Russian Minister, Russia is preparing ior au contingencies. She Is storing supplies of coal and foodstuffs In a degree that Is exciting great attention. Emphasizes Russian Occapation. WASHINGTON, May 8. Telegraphic communication and its supervision at Niu Chwang was the subject of extended dip lomatic correspondence" about one year ago, complaints having been made by Americans at Niu Chwang. Consul-Gen-eral Goodnow, In a communication to Min ister Conger at Pekln. just .published, after speaking of the telegraphic arrangements, said: "I desire to call your attention to the Inconvenience thus occasioned our mer chants, who do an extensive trade in Niu Chwang. It also seems to our people here that this emphasizes the Russian occupa tion of Niu Chwang." About the same time, it Is shown. Count Casslni addressed a note to Secretary Hay asking that instructions be sent the Amer ican Consul at Niu Chwang which would cause him to pursue a course more agree able, to the Russian government.

The'ripw i-i-on here to mean that the town has been re-' occupiea c-y- tne iorce the withdrawal of which was announced Iri April, when the Russians said that all the troops except the: men necessary for the police guard had been removed. are attributed here to China's refusal to comply with the ceraanae which Russia receauy guomuteu. E TO PIECE! Strike and Lockout Are Growing Weaker. BUILDING AGAIN RESUMED Lumber Moving Freely for Satisfactory Contractors. DWELLINGS NEAR -COMPLETION In Places Union and Nonunion Car penters Are Working Side by Side, in Others Nonunion Forces Are Employed. Record of Building Trades' Troubles. January 1 Carpenters' Union de mands minimum of $3.50 a day from April 1. January 6 Painters' Union demands $3.60 a day. April 1 Contractors do not grant de mands of carpenters. April 0 Strike declared by Painters' Union. April 22 Mills refuse to sell lumber to local trade. May & Discovery that mills arc sell ing lumber to nonunion contractors. Joseph C. Skemp, vice-president of Painters' Brotherhood, arrives on peace mission. May & Arbitration conference of Building Trades Council and Master Painters and Builders falls. The strike situation in the building trades is not at all satisfactory from a union viewpoint. The painters, the car penters and the hodcarriers are not mak-. Ing gains and evidences are., that they are actually losing ground. On the other hand, pressure of owners and cbntractors for- lumber Jb "breaking la on the lookout of the mills. Loads of lumber are no longer an unusual sight, especially In the residence districts. Deliveries "of lumber are. Increasing notably all over town. It Is quite evident that there can be no arbitration of the labor trouble as the dispute now rests. The bosses and the contractors declare that they don't have to arbitrate only to go about their busi ness, and the strike will settle itself. They declare that' they don't have to arbitrate and that they won't. Although union men have been return ing to work they have not done so yet in large numbers. The painters are more steadfast than the carpenters. The car penters, however, are not on strike, but are locked out by the refusal of the lum ber mills to deliver lumber to contractors who have signed up with the unions. The painters are on a genuine strike to en force a minlmom wage scale of $3.50 per day. The union carpenters are In a some what complex situation. The best hands refuse to work for less than $3.50 per day, and are easily getting It, while the $3 men are out; but the contractors who have signed the scale are boycotted by the saw mills. Many hodcarriers and laborers are likewise on a strike, though ordered back to work by the Building Trades Council. and bricklayers are consequently out of employment. United Stand Ajrninst Unions. A canvass of the sentiment of the busl- nefs element of the city reveals a more united stand against unions than has ever been attempted before. This opposition exists In most part tacitly by common understanding. There is no mistaking this attitude. It Is quite plain even to the superficial observer. This feeling will probably crystallize Into an employers' association soon or late. Many business men have been heard to clamor for such organization. A serious question now arises whether the trouble will spread into other chan nels of industry, now that the building trades unions seem unable to gain what they are after. Will the sawmill em ployes, for example, declare a sympathetic strike on account of the action of the saw mill owners? Union and Nonunion MeA. Side by Side In many buildings union and nonunion men are working side by side. In many buildings carpenters are employed both at the union scale of wages and above and below that ecale. This means that the contractors on these structures have not signed the union scale. At many places union men do not "walk out" when a "scab" appears among them In another trade or In the same trade as their own. Union men very frequently work secretly on Jobs which by the rules of their or ganizations should be "unfair." They often blink at the presence of nonunion men, preferring employment to the strife of a walk-out. In some places where non union painters have been put on delib erately by the contractors the union car penters have declined to be forced off. All this Is well known to the union leaders. Eut they conceal It or put on a. brave front by declaring that their position strategically 13 Just as strong as ever It was. However, the fact is that whereas one or two. weeks ago they refused to accept terms from the bosses which they are now willing to accept, now the bosses refuse to treat on those terms. Thus the unions have receded from one of their contentions and the bosses have advanced their po sition. In the Mohawk building, at Third and Morrison. McKenzIe 4b Wallace, contrac tors,, about 26 men are working, bqta union and nonunion. In the Dskun building. Stewart & Wlnslow,' contrac tors, 12 union, and nonunion men are em ployed. In the new Scottish Rite Cathedral, at Morrison and Lownsdale, .C A. Lynds, contractor, the same condition exists. On the painting Job in the new Hotel Portland nonunion men have been work ing. Up to three days ago E. H. Moore house & Co. had nonunion painters In the Welnhard building, and the union men on the structure did not throw down their tools. On Third street, near Yam bill, G. W. Gordon, contractor, union and nonunion carpenters were employed to gether yesterday. Mr. Gordon had a mixed crew of carpenters also at Tenth and Washington and Seventh and An keny. J. I. Marshall carried on work the same way at Fourth and Hoyt, and at Twelfth and Columbia. Other contrac tors employed union and nonunion men on the same buildings, as follows: C. A. Lynds, at Twelfth and Washington; Grifflss,' near the same place; E. E. Mc Laran, at Thirtieth and Burnside; Tom Mulr, at Thirteenth and Washington. In Meier & Frank's building at Seventh and Taylor workmen have been mlxe'd in the same way. In a dwelling at Twenty-third and Flanders, five non union carpenters were working yester day. At Twenty-first and Vaughn a union foreman had several nonunion car penters working under him. Four houses on Johnson street are going up with non union, carpenters and another near by has five - union carpenters, where only one was at work two weeks ago. Few contractors who have not signed the painters' union scale are seriously in convenienced for lack of materials. If their financial responsibility is satisfactory to the mills. In many dwelling-houses all over the city the same condition exists. A number of contractors were encountered yester day who were hiring the two classes of labor, but who would not permit the lo cation of their work to be advertised in paint. A "reporter met a group of about a dozen such contractors yesterday. He succeeded at first in getting "the above mentioned facts for publication, but the men at last grew fearful that If their business should be announced in print they would have trouble with the unions. They demanded that their names be withheld and there was nothing to do but to comply. Contractors Are Satisfied. James Marshall, a member of the strike committee of the master builders, said yesterday that he and his fellow-contractors were satisfied with the progress they were making against the unions. "Last Tuesday," said he. "members of our association had 89 union carpenters employed with 150 nonunion carpenters. And not all of our members made re ports about their, employes. In aur as sociation are about 82 master builders. Of these only two are hiring union labor exclusively. Since Tuesday the number of-"our employes has- -been growing, both union and nonunion. I estimate that members of the association are employ ing about 400 carpenters and that half of them are nonunion men." W. R. Griffith, another member of the strike committee of the master builders, corroborated everything Marshall said. "At one of our meetings a week ago," remarked Griffith, "we ascertained that the members who were present were em ploying about 100 nonunion men. On 20 Jobs both union and nonunion men were employed. On only six of the Jobs union men were employed exclusively." Mixed Crevrs at Work. G. W. Gordon, contractor for the Shapiro building on Third, between Yam hill and Taylor, has had a mixed crew of carpenters in that building for some time. He was very busy yesterday when visited for an interview and at first refused to say anything. At last he said: "I have (Concluded on Pase 10.) CONTEXTS OF TODAY'S PAPER. Forelfrn.

President Roosevelt made his entry into Los An geles at .1 o'clock this ifternoon. The enthusiastic welcome that h'as greeted him at every stopping place within the boun daries of California reached a climax when the Presidential train drew In at La Grande station. Los Angeles had for many days been preparing for him, and she was ready, dressed In her best. The Presidential train left Riverside this morning at 8 o'clock, at which early hour thousands of people turned out to bid the President good-bye. On the way over the Santa Fe a half hour's stop was made at Claremont, where the President spoke to the students of Pomona College, the president of which, John D. Gates, Is an old-time friend of President Roosevelt. .From (Claremont the run was through the picturesque San Gabriel Valley to Pasa dena, where a stop of two hours was made. Pasadena Finely Decorated. Pasadena, which Is famous as a city of beautiful homes, had been elaborately dec orated. All the business houses and all the residences on the route over which the President was driven displayed Amer ican flags and bunting. As he stepped from the train, the President was greeted, by Representative James Mcllachlan and Mayor Vedder. Passing through a cordon of 200 Grand Army veterans, the party entered carriages, and, with local mounted policemen and officers of the Americus Club as a guard of honor, the procession went direct to the High School building. As the President passed the Elks lodge building. Representative McLachlan pre sented him with a gold key, a perfect fac simile of the one which will open tha Elks' lodgeroom. Reaching the school yard, Mayor Vedder briefly introduced Representative McLachlan, who presented the President to an immense crowd, say ing: ( "He Is a man whose sympathies are as broad as this great Republic, and his daily life an open book that Is an Inspiration to us all to more ennobling citizenship." Twenty-five hundred school children oc cupied the space directly in front of the ' President. Each child carried a long, light pole, with the" National colors waving from the top, and palms and wreaths of flowers from the center. On the way to the "Wilson High School the President passed under a floral arch way which extended for two blocks on Marengo avenue. The front of the arch was a solid mass of flowers from base to top, with festoons of varl-colored roses draped across from curb to curb. Bas kets of flowers on smllax-twlned poles extended from the windows of the High School building, and solid banks of rosea covered the walls of the facade from base to cupola. After the address at the High. School, President Roosevelt and party took carriages for a drive through the city. Calls on Garfield's "Widow. The route took them down the,famou3 Orange. Grove avenue, the "street of mil lionaires." A brief stop was made at the home of Mrs. Garfield, widow of the late President James A. Garfield, with whom the President chatted pleasantly for a few moments. Continuing the drive, the party, passed down Columbia street to Raymond Hill, from which point the President gained a splendid view of the fertile San Gabriel Valley. Promptly at 12:30 the party boarded a train at Raymond station and left for Lcs Angeles. "When the train pulled In at La ill Grande station. Los Angeles, thousands of people blockaded the streets on every side. Former members of the President's Rough Rider regiment, a detachment of troop D, N, G. C. and "Teddy's Terrors." a politi cal club of prominent Los Angeles busi ness men, wearing the Rough Rider uni form, formed on either side of the plat form and kept the crowds back. The President entered a carriage with Gov ernor Pardee, Secretary Moody and Pri vate "Secretary Loeb, and preceded and fol lowed by a piatoon 'of mounted police and" troop D, N. G. C, was driven directly to the "Westminster Hotel, at the corner of Fourth and Main streets, where luncheon was served.
