THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1905. BUBBLE IS BURST 98c Day at The Meier Frank Store Trouble Expected at Labor Meeting Does Not Occur. CONSERVATIVES IN POWER Attempts to Order Strike on Govern ment Buildings at Fair. Grounds Fall Flat Agitators Rele gated to the Rear. Outgeneraled by the- watchfullncss of the conservative eloment, the. few troublc brcedcrs saw last night's building: trades union rally pass off without the half-expected domand for a strike on tho Gov ernment building at the Lewis and Clark Fair grounds. The meeting was made a special attrac tion for the nonunion -workmen of the Fair grounds. Its ostensible purpose was to revive the building trades unions. "Join the union of your craft" was hurled forth by nearly every speaker. Just at the close of the session, held in the Eagles' hall, and after the programme had been completed, a visitor whom Chairman J. W. Shrader introduced as "a brother from Seattle," butted in and. harangued thusly: "Get what you are entitled to; and If you can't get it, strike within a -week," he cried. But even the avowedly social istic of those in charge declined to stand for his statements, and wanted It under stood that he was there by his own Invita tion. Alert to the slightest wave of sentiment which might possibly force out -the cry of "strike," C. H. Gram and H. A. Duke, district organizers of the American Fed eration of Iabor; George H. Howell, of the Typographical Union, and other prom inent local men, determined to head off such a movement, watched every speaker Intently. But, except for the self-invited demagogue from Seattle, there was no dangerous talk. State Labor Commissioner O. P. Hon! came In before the meeting was over. He reported no change In the attempt to patch up matters between Contractor Bennett and the workmen on the Gov ernment building. Socialism, of course, was a subcurrcnt of several speeches. The building-trades unions supplied $56 worth of beer, sand wiches and cigars, and printed appeals to join the Unions were distributed. The hall was altogether too small. Nearly half the audience were nonunion men employed at the Fair grounds. Chairman Shrader opened the meet ing with "a speech of his own, about the only one dealing with the labor troubles on tho Fair grounds. F. J. McHenry quot ed comparative wealth statistics, and brought down a burst of applause when he cried, "I am a Socialist." He hardly mentioned the Fair. A. W. Jones, of the Clgarmakers Union, said It was a crime for a work man to remain outside the union of his trade. George H. Howell was called on for a contribution. He confined his remarks to the advantages of trade unionism. T. J. Cannon, president of the Federated Trades Council, and C. H. Gram, made conservative talks. President Cauficld, of the Electrical Workers' Union, made a special plea to the non union, electricians employed on the Fair buildings. A concise review of the labor troubles of two years ago was made by A. V. Nawratll, president of the Painters' Union. He admitted that mistakes had been made at that time, but laid empha sis upon the more perfect organization of the union now. "WILL HELP FACTORY GIRLS Y. W. C. A. Perfecting Plans for Broadening Their Work. Plans are being materialized for the fur ther extension of the organization of the Toung Women's Christian Association In Portland. It Is proposed to employ an experienced secretary to extend the as sociation Into the factories of this city for the benefit of the working girls. The association has partly perfected its plans and expects to start the work sometime before Fall. Such a movement has been strongly rec ommended by Miss Helen F. Barnes, one of the National secretaries of the Young Women's Christian Association, who has oeen in the city for the past few days delivering a sGries of lectures concerning Christian work among young women. Miss Barnes has taken an active part in organizing such association and she says the results and benefits derived are won derful. While not to bo compared to the con ditions in the East, there are hundreds of young girls who are striving daily in Portland, bearing the burden of support ing families. They have no recreation and nothing to look forward to. At night they are frequently so exhausted by. a hard day's work that they neglect the ties of frendship and companionship which means so much to the average girl. By the establishment of the associations in tho factories and workshops In which they are employed, the young women and girls are enabled to obtain a better and more thorough understanding of the pleas-ures-of life instead of the hardships. They will also be given every possible educa tional advantage. The' association will install clubrooms In which the girls can spend their leisure hours and evenings find become better acquainted with their companions. RECEPTION TO NEW PASTOR Rev. Clarence True Wilson Greeted by Ministry of the City. Rev. Clarence True "Wilson, the new pastor of the Grace MethodLst Church, was tendered a reception last evening by iltc members of his congregation. Dr. Broughor, of the First Baptist Church, delivered an address of welcome to Rev. Wilson on behalf of the ministry of this city. J. K. Gill, a member of the church, delivered a similar address, assuring Rev. Wilson that the members of his congre gation would do everything within their power to make his pastorate as pleasant and helpful as possible. Rev Wilson responded with a most ap propriate speech, thanking the members of his congregation and the ministry of this city for the kind and considerate wel come bestowed upon him. Rev. Wilson, who Is from Newark. N. J., preached his first sermon at the Grace Methodist Church last Sunday. Nearly the entire congregation of the church was present at the reception. An excellent musical programme was ren dered by Professor Wilder's quartet, which was assisted by members of the church, choir. The church parlors, in which the reception was held, was beau tifully and- elaborately decorated with growing palms and flowers. Refreshments were served by the members of the La dies' Aid Society. King of All Cough Medicine. Mr. E. G. Case, a mallcarrler of Canton Center, Conn., who has been in tho U. S. Service 'for about 16 years, says: "We have tried many cough medicines for croup, but Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Is king of all and one to bo relied upon every time. We also find, it the best Temedv for coughs and coldsw giving cer tain results and leaving no bad after effects. Wo are never without it in the house." For sale by. li druggists.

NO RADICAL MOVES PLANNED Prohibition Alliance Meets and Dis- j cusses the Present Situation. The State Prohibition Alliance held a meeting: last night In the dining- hall at the Young- Men's Christian Association rooms. 1. H. Amos presided at the upper end of the table, -while B. Lee Paget sat on one side, -with H. W. Stone at the other elbow. Plans and prospects -were talked over, so It was reported, and at least one ques tion -was settled, but that "was something which was about to be kept a secret, so Mr. Amos said. One the quiet, however, tho Information was given out that the hand-to-hand and man-to-man campaign Is about to be carried on. In order to make this a success the alliance will have to havo ?600, more or less, and half of this sum was provided for at the meet ing last night. . r It was stated, however, that the alliance had come to the . conclusion, in common with the members of the Anti-Saloon League, that it would make no radical moves In the local-option law elecUon matter unUl It will be the plan of the Prohibition party to wait for de velopments and not be in a hurry for a time. It has. in other words, adopted the lKlicy of "first be sure and then go ahead." The promise made by the committee which met with the legislature In Salem in regard to the Jayne bill will be kept by the ProhlblUon people, and no new wars will be waged In any place during tho coming Spring where there Is not al ready a fight on hand. This stand, how ever, does not bind the different locali ties not to call elections on the question, but it will have its influence. If the peo ple of any county or precinct wish to call an election they will have the power to do so without consulUng the alliance, but it Is not likely that the wishes of the state organization will he disregarded. This decision was reached as the result of a Joint meeting between the Anti-Saloon League and the alliance. At this meeting the Prohibitionists agreed to co operate with the Anti-Saloon League in not asking for too many or too sudden changes in the present order of things. The next meeting of the alliance, which had been set for Friday, has been post--poned until the evening - of March 10. This change was made owing to the in ability of Cy E. S. Wood to be present on the first-named date. Mr. Woo'd had promised the alliance to address . the meeting on the subject, "Why I do not agree with tho Prohibitionists?" and It being found that the speaker had another date for Friday night, the meeting was postponed.

Walker Has Recovered, but Memory Is a Blank. Nelson N. Walker, found unconscious at the door of his home, 354 Montgomcry street, more than a month ago. Is able to be about the streets, but cannot remem ber meeting his assailant or of being struck;. The first statement the young contractor has been able to make since he was struck down was given by him last night. "I cannot remember seeing or hearing any man or of being struck," said Mr. Walker. "I recall distinctly of attending the Multnomah Club and of walking down to Fifth street with 'Teddy Langford.' T boarded a car at Fifth and Morrison and rode to Montgomery, where I alighted and walked to my home. . "I always carry my keys in my hip pocket. My theory of the assault is that whoever struck me was prowling about my home for the purpose of robbery. I do not think I saw him, but cannot re member to a certainty. I think I prob ably reached cr my keys; he must have thought I was reaching for a weapon which I never carry and attacked mo, 'thinking he was acting'ln self-defense."
