IMMENSE SHOE VALUES Better Shoes and Better Valoes Than Eve
FIRST FLOOR, REAR,
Nothing succeeds like success. The news of the wonderful business we
have done at our shoe sales of the past few weeks has spread around among
the manufacturers to such an extent that we've been fairly deluged with
offers of sample lines and surplus stocks from some of the best makers in
the country. With such an abundance to choose from we had no difficulty
in selecting an assortment of the worthiest kinds. Shoes and Oxfords that
measure up to our high standard of excellence in every particular. They're
better shoes than we've ever been able to sell at such little prices. Among
them are and mind you we say "among," for we've a great garden full
of these shoe bargains, from which we merely cull a few. We attribute
our success in this branch to the very unusual values we are distributing
to our patrons. Spurred on by the success already attained we increase and
enlarge our efforts day by day to give our shoe buyers better values than
ever. We have outgrown the space alloted us several times in this de
partment and as often have expanded to mzet the increasing demands. But
did every man, woman and child in Portland know shoes as we know 'em,
some of the other shoe stores would be compelled to close for lack of patronage.
We sell the best shoes for least money of any house on the Pacific Coast.
These are all new Spring goods and

UNION STRIKES BACK
Sweeping Injunction Obtained
in Omaha,
HANDS OF BUSINESS MEN TIED
They Cannot Declare Boycotts, Meet
to Conspire Aprnlnjst Strikers, jjior
Discriminate Against Dealers
86111113: Them Goods.
OMAHA. May 12. Judge Dickinson, In
the District Court, at 7 o'clock tonight, on
application of John O. Yciser, an attorney
representing the waiters' unions whose
members are on strike. Issued an Injunction
against the business men and proprietors,
even more sweeping than that issued by
the Federal Court against the unions last
week. The order restrains the business
men from refusing to sell goods to dealers
who employ union labor; prevents them
from boycotting union labor; requires the
Business Men's Association to cease hold
ing meetings, or conspiring against the
unions, or in any -way interfering with
the unions in the management of their
affairs.
The order restrains the Business Men's
Association and others named as defend
ants as follows:
First From in any manner threatening
to injure the business or person of any
employer of members of cross-complainant
union or member of labor union, or
any person -who may employ or desire to
employ such union men, or from refusing
to sell commodities and supplies of mer
chandise to employers or such union labor,
and from discriminating against such per
sons' in the prices charged for any such
commodities.
Second From, threatening or Intimidat
ing, in any manner, any person into join
ing the said Business Men's Association
or any organization.
Third From threatening or Intimidating
any person who has become a member of
slid association or organization, if ho
employs organized labor or, recognizes
labor unions, into discontinuing such em
ployment. Fourth From imposing any fines upon
its members or any person .for violating
any agreement not to employ organized
labor, or not to recognize a labor union.
Fifth From receiving or paying out any
money -whatever in pursuance of any
agreement to break up labor unions, ex
cepting to attorneys in this action.
Sixth From paying or offering any
money to officers or members of unions,
directly or indirectly, as a bribe to do or
not to do any act in pursuance of any
agreement with any of said defendants
against such unions.
Seventh From importing or engaging
agents and servants to Import any labor
ers into the City of Omaha or State of
Nebraska Jn pursuance of any existing
plan to destroy labor organizations, or
under any similar or new arrangement or
plan.
Eighth From bringing any other injunc
tion suits or actions, in pursuance of any
general plan of prosecutions to break up
labor unions, or of any new or similar
plans connected directly or Indirectly with
an existing plan.
The injunction applies to about 50 Indi
vidual proprietors of concerns whose busi
ness comes in contact with the strike.
The injunction was granted at the re
quest of the Waiters' Union, and is cal
culated to place the employers in a posi
tion almost Identical with those of the
strikers one of defense.
Judge Dickinson, -who Issued the injunc
tion, is considered one of the most able
and conservative jurists in the state. The
decision is more peculiar because of the
fact that three District Court Judges yes
terday enjoined the Walters' Union from
all acts tending to hamper the business of
the restaurant proprietors.
TO ORGANIZE AGAINST UXIOXS.
New York Ilnildlng- Firms Plan, an
Af??rcslve Fight. '
NEW YORK, May 12. The most Import
tant development In the strike situation
today was the expressed intention of the
building trades concerns, composed of the
most prominent firms in the building busi
ness in Manhattan and the Bronx, and the
Iron League, which includes most of the
employers of ironworkers in this vicinity,
to unite for united and aggressive action
against the demands of the labor organ
izations. More than 100.000 workers will
be affected by the action of the employers.
While some Instances of violence oc
curred among the strikers in Brooklyn, an
understanding was reached between a
committee of the Central Federated Union
and the leaders of the striking rockmen
and excavators that the men on the sub
way shall return to work tomorrow.
The governors of the Building Trades
Association met today and practically de
cided to form a union similar to the labor
union.
The Iron League also held a meeting and
took action upon the strike of the inside
architectural Ironworkers. On Monday the
inside architectural Ironworkers in 11 of
the smaller shops went on strike, and this
was followed by most of the concerns
locking their men out. It Is estimated
that through the strike and lockout about
60,000 men are out.
The Masons' Contractors' Association
met tonight and Indorsed the action taken
by the governors of the building trades in
.calling for a general meeting of thos3 en
gaged in the building business.
Laundries Decide to lie-Open.
OMAHA, Neb., May 12. There was a
material increase in the number of wag
ons running today. Deputy Sheriffs ac
companied the wagons, but no attempts
were made to molest drivers,
At a meeting today of the laundry pro
prietors it was decided to open the
laundries Thursday. The locked-out em
ployes will be given an opportunity to
return to work, and in case of their re
fusal to do so. new ones will be secured.
For the strikers. It was given out that
the fight would be carried to the ex
treme, and that other union men, perhaps
the barbers and street-car employes, may
bo asked to strike in sympathy."
Restaurants' Bread Supply Cut Off.
KANSAS CITY, May 12. A new feature
In the waiters' 'strike in this city Is the
refusal of the bakery drivers to deliver to
nonunion restaurants. The order will af
fect every member of the Restaurant
Men's Protective Association, of which
there are 4S. Small restaurants, which
buy oil their pastry from the bakeries,
will suffer most, as the larger concerns
bake most of their own supplies.

St. Paul and Minneapolis Business
Men Will To to Bring About
Pence Today.
ST. PAUL, May 12. The newest develop
ment in the negotiations going on between
the Great Northern and a committee rep
resenting its trainmen was the announce
ment tonigbt that a joint committee from
the St. Paul Jobbers Union and the Min
neapolis Chamber of Commerce will meet
-with the committee and the railway offi
cials 'tomorrow morning In an endeavor to
harmonize matters and if possible avert a
strike, which they deem would be disas
trous to the business Interests of the
Northwest. Meantime both sides are
preparing for what seems to be the Inev
itable outcome of the deadlock in the ne
gotiations. Confirmation was bad here tonight of re
ports from other cities that the Great
Northern had opened recruiting offices and
was contracting for trainmen to take the
place of their present employes in case of
a strike. The men also say they are fully
prepared for a struggle, and are Inclined
to ridicule the Idea that there are train
men enough now idle In the country to fill
their places.
The earliest development of the day was
the retfelpt by the trainmen's committee of
General Manager Ward's letter, following
the receipt of their ultimataum reiterating
their original demands on the double-header
question. Mr. Ward, in giving out his
letter, stated that it was more In the na
ture of a reinforcement of the argument
he had made in support of his position and
concessions offered, and made an appeal '
to the men to accept the compromise j
rather than a definite reply to their last '
communication. He stated, further, that !
upon receipt of the men's reply to his let
ter he would give a definite answer to their
original demands.
The committee In executive session con
sidered Mr. Ward's communication for the
remainder of the afternoon, and on their
adjournment their leaders announced that
it had been decided that no reply was nec
essary, as Mr. Ward had made no new
proposals nor given a definite xeply to their
propositions. Then it was that the St.
Paul Jobbers" Union took a hand in the
negotiations to try to effect a compromise
that would be honorable to each side.
STRIKE IS LEFT TO MEN.
Machinist Will Vote on Coins Out
In Sympathy for Boilermakers.
MILWAUKEE. May 12. The Interna
tional Association of Machinists, In con
vention today, voted to leave the matter
of a strike of machinists on the railroads
embraced in the Harriman system, in
sympathy with the striking boilermakers
on the Union Pacific Railroad, to a vote
of the men themselves.
According to Vice-President P. J. Con
Ion, It will be nearly a month before the
result of the vote will be known. The
lodges Involved will vote separately, and
the results will be forwarded to the execu
tive board, whose headquarters are at
Washington. D. C. In case a majority de
cide In favor of a sympathetic strike, such
strike will be ordered by the executive
board.
Work of City Tied Up by Strike.
NEW YORK, May 12. With 400 miles

missioner of Highways Livingston finds
himself entirely helpless; because of the
great labor war now on.
To complicate the situation, Mr. Living
ston says a company has obtained con
tracts to connect every substation of the
city with the general Postoffice by pneu
matic tube. This company has also ob
tained from the State Legislature the right
to put in these tubes without obtaining
a franchise to use the streets, and Is said
to be on the point of starting work, and
as It will have to remove the asphalt on
43 miles of streets in order to lay the 90
miles of tubes, this will mean more litter
and obstruction until the war Is over.

OMAHA. May 12. The fJ"?at Northern
