THE 3IORI"G OREGOXLAX, FRIDAY, OCTOBER, 19, 1906. FAIL TO AGREE -1 I Grainhandlers Send Their Lawyer to Confer With Exporters. We DERBY DESKS LEOPOLD DESKS INSIST ON OPEN SHOP 12 ARBlTflATiON r ! Little Hope for Meeting on Common Ground Major's Plan Seems Doomed to Fail General Strike Is Threatened. Committee from the grainhandlers and the exporters who were to meet yesterday In the City Hall to arrange a basis for arbitration of the differences between the shippers and the strikers, failed to meet. Instead a tepsion of the exporters' com mittee was held in the oftices of' W. J. Hum, secretary, where negotiations were carried on witli Russell A. Sewall. at torney for the grainhandlers. This con ference virtually left the arbitration mat ter in statu quo. The" grainhandlers declined to send a committee to meet with the exporters' committee yesterday, maintaining that the discharge of strike-breakers and the re instatement of the union men employed prior to the strike must precede the placing of the case In the hands of arbi trators. A further session will be held fcometime this forenoon between the ex porters' committee and Attorney Sewall. At this meeting the grainhandlers hope for more favorable action by the ship pers on their demands. It seems almost certain that- arbitra tion will fail to accomplish what lias been hoped for It. As told by The Oregonian yesterday the demand of the strikers for concessions before they will report to arbitration and the determined position of the exporters seem irreconcilable. The grainhandlers maintain that be fore they will place the wage question In the hands of arbitrators, the open shop jilan proposed by the exporters through the retention of strikebreakers, must be given up. and the union men, whose places the newcomers took, put to work again. The union also demands that the police must be withdrawn from the docks. The exporters stick to their contention that after having brought men here to help them out In their trouble, it would le a breach of faith to discharge them. They also insist that police are necessary n the (locks to prevent violence. Little. Hope of Arbitration. While both sides appear hopeful of a satisfactory settlement of tho strike, neither seems to expect a meeting on common ground that will admit of set tlement of the trouble by a board of arbitrators. When the opinion was ex pressed to Publicity Agent Burns yes terday that arbitration had already tailed, he -said that it luid not been Biven up and that negotiations were being carried on with the srainhanc lers. A second meeting will be held toduy, he, said, lie was not ready to eay that any progress had been made yesterday afternoon, and the two hours occupied by the session in his oftice were consumed by the opposing inter ests In maintaining stands already taken. Oscar Melby, business agent for the grainhandlers. said his union got no satisfaction from the exporters at the meeting, but that another conference would "be held today, at which It was hoped to get some concessions from the exporters. Until the employers agree to a union shop, Mr. Melby says the grainhandlers cannot nrbitrate. It seems that t lie strike will be fought out. An ever widening series of labor disturbances is expected if arbitration tails. The whole waterfront federation will probably be brought into the fight in that event. In. addi tion the unions affiliated witli tho Building Trades Council are likely to refuse to handle, cement and other ma terials unloaded from ships' by strike breakers, and no one can predict tho end of the present trouble if arbitra tion falls. Tt is said the Citizens' Al liance is Interesting itself in tho sit uation and if this Is true it will make the situation Inore serious. The strike situation has assumed such proportions that the failure of the present negotiations seems likely to result in one of the greatest strikes In the history of the Coast. Secretary Hall's Statement. In discussing the situation. P. r. Hall, secretary of Longshoremen's Union No. t2. stated yesWday: "There is nothinsr new at present, for we are resting on our oars until the re mit of the coming conference is known. When that is concluded we will decide whether we shall take any further ac tion." Mayor Tane yesterday placed the Coun cil Chamber at the disposal of the com mittees from the grainhandlers and the exporters, but they failed to appear. The meeting was announced for 3 o'clock, and later for 4, but no one appeared at either liour. Tt Is generally feared that the plan of pacification suggested by Mayor Tjno will fall of the good results hoped for it. The only change In the waterfront situa tion yesterday was the lifting of the strike as far as the loading of the British steamship Wynerlc was concerned. This vessel was moved down to the Victoria dolphins last Saturday for the purpose of completing her lumber cargo for China. When the longshoremen declared a gen eral strike on all exporting vessels, she was included in the boycott, and during Monday and Wednesday no work was per formed on her. On Tuesday a temporary agreement permitted the union men to work her, but vhis was rescinded that evening. Yesterday morning, however, Johan Poulsen, senior member of the tirm of In fian, Poulpen & Co., arranged with the longshoremen's Union. No. IPS, to com plete the loading of the vessel for him. without negotiating with the charterers of the craft. As a result of this agree ment the longshoremon went to work on the vessel's cargo yesterday morning. She will probably complete her cargo Saturday or Monday. Tlxe understanding is only temporary, and work may be abandoned at any time, although It is authoritatively mated that the longshoremen have agreed to finish cargo on tills vessel. Little Work, on Docks. Very little work was done yesterday on the grain vessels moored at the boycotted docks. At the Oceanic dock, where the Hrltlsh steamship Hazel Dollar and the French ship Ville de Mulhouse are work ing, only small gangs wero employed In the holds of the vessels, while on the docks the Imported hands were kept busy piling and trucking grain to and from the ships and the cars. The British ship Allerton Is also moored at this dock, but no attempt was made to load her yester day. In the hold of the German ship Nereide a portion of her old gang of strike breakers was employed storing grain dur ing the morning, but little work was done in the afternoon. Few clashes between union and non union men were reported yesterday, and the strikers appear to be using more temperate measures titan have been here- Prrfff' l - It 14.-4 .. -r-4 1--J i 1 - r- BROOKLYX ENGINE-HOUSE, EAST TWELFTH AND POWELL STREETS, FORMALLY OPENED LAST NIGHT. tofore reported In some of the instances. In the occurrences yesterday they con tented themselves with urging their aide of the controversy upon the employing warehousemen and in many -ases are reported to have accomplished the desired result of inducing the nonunion men to desert their position. In answer to a hurry call at the po lice station, the patrol wagon was hur ried to the foot of Stark street, where a riot was reported in progress. In vestigation revealed that the alarm had been turued in by one of the dock bosses, in whose charge several non union workmen were on their way to the steamer Bailey Gatzcrt. The party was Intercepted by strikers, who argued their side of the question with the nonunion men, resulting in the re fusal of several men to board the steamer Hoo lloo to journey to the headquarters of the strikebreakers. Fearing violence to those who refused, the man In charge of the party sent for the police. As everything was quiet on the arrival of the officers and no assaults had been committed there were no arrests. Pan Connors, the ex-police officer and alleged employe of the stevedoring firm of Brown & McCabe. who was ar rested on a charge of threatening to kill, made by A. Hess, a union long shoreman, was yesterday bound over to appear before the grand jury. Judge Cameron fixed his bond at $500. The big fleet of grain vessels now in the harbor will be increased soon by the arrival of the French bark Sully and the British ship Glenalvon. now at Astoria. The Le Pereuse arrived up yesterday and anchored in the stream, making a total of five vessels awaiting the opportunity .of discharging cargo. The other four are the British bark Inverness-shire, the French barks Jacobsen, Bougainville and Europe. DEATH OF DR. H. D. JONES Rector of Pendleton Episcopal Church Tasses Away in This City.

The people of the Seventh "Ward, under the auspices of the Brooklyn Republican Club, last night celebrated the completion of the modern engine-house in which the meeting was held, and the letting of the contract for the building of the Brooklyn sewer. Agitation for fire protection and sewerage had gone on for ten years, and both are now within reach: The sewer will be finished in a year and the engine company will be installed by February, 1907. The lower rnm of the engine-house was ueed as an auditorium for the evening, and was filled to overflowing. M. G. Grif fin, chairman of the committee of ar rangements, presided. The programme opened with a musical selection by the Webber string orchestra. Chairman Grif fin announced the object of the celebra tion, then James Ruddiman rendered a Scocth song. Mayor Harry Lane was introduced and he spoke of what had been done for the Seventh Ward in particular and for the city in general. He complimented Coun cilman Rushlight for his faithful and able work for the Seventh Vrd. Mayor Lane said that the completion of the big sewer meant at least 50 per cent additional value to the property of that section, and pre dicted marked progress for the Seventh Ward. Mayor Lane promised to do what he could to further the interests of the ward, while considering the whole city. Following the Mayor. Councilman Rush light made a. few remarks on what had been accomplished. Miss Eva Shively sang a solo and Coun cilman Dan Keliahvr spoke briefly. 'He showed by the figures that over two miles of streets had been paved in the Seventh Ward and more than ven miles were be ing improved. He spoke of the fills to be made on t2ast Sixth and other streets, and urged the people to unite for general improvement, t Councilman Kellaher com plimented Mr. Rushlight for his zeal for hip own district. The other speakers were Dr. Dav Raf fety, a well-known resident, and Walde mar Srton. Miss Shively gave another se lection and the orchestra rendered several selections. The engine-house, which is a modern structure, was well illuminated. District Engineer Holden. who designed the build ing, was present to explain its construc tion. It cost about $2nU0. Work on the big 1600-foot sewer is under way at both ends. Its total cost will be a little over $242,OCO. The average cost pr lot will be J22, and the laterals wil cost $50 more. It will be the largest sewer in Portland, and at the river end will -be ten feet in diameter. In the talks credit was given Councilmen Rushlight, Wills. Kellaher and Ftennettand City Attorney McXarj for their work in getting rights of way, and also to the Mayor for his help. There is general rejoicing that the big under taking is now fairly launched. ADMIRAL WAS HELPLESS Xebogatofr Will Be Acquitted for Surrendering Shtps. 9T. PETERSBURG, Oct. 18. The prelim inary investigation into the surrender by Rear-Almirai Nebogatoff of his squadron at the battle of the Sea of Japan is .said to be decidedly favorable to the Admiral. The latter, in the official protocol pre pared for his approaching trial by court martial, emphasizes the hopelessly dis abled condition of his two principal ships, the lack of ammunition and the exhaus tion of the crews at the time of the sur render. The battleship Orel, instead of being almost uninjured, as stated shortly after the battle, was so badly damaged May 27, 1905, that her commander asked Commander Rojestvensky for permission to destroy her. She was on the point of sinking the next morning, and only had two heavy guns in action. The battleship Nicholas I, of the same squadron, also wa leaking, one of her 12-ineh Runs was dis abled and her boats were shot away. imperial order was published today commuting the sentences of the four of ficers of the torpKdoboat-destroyer Bedovi, who, with Admiral Rojestvensky, were tried at Cronstadt, July 4. on the charge of surrendering to the enemy and were found guilty and condemned to death by shooting. On account of the extenuating circumstances, Kmperor Nicholas was re quested to commute the sentences to dis missal from the service and deprivation of certain rights, which he has now done. Rojestvensy was acquitted July 4. His rehabilitation is popular with the public and it is expected that he will be decorated wTith the military order of St. George. All the officers who were wounded on board the Bedov! have been acquitted. Fire Iss at Birmingham. BIRMINGHAM. Ala., Oct. 18. Fire which broke out after midnight in the six-story building of the prowell Hard ware Company, burned for six hours, causing a loss of about JJOO.OOO.

HERALD OF PROSPERITY Portland Trust Company's President Tells Delegates to American As sociation Convention Reasons for State's Greatness. Deposits in Oreeron banks have in creased over 16. 000. 00(1 during the past year. This is the best evidence uf the fri-eat prosperity of the whole state. These statistic?, toprether with others of a character tending to. inspire confi dence in the future of tho common wealth, were Riven in an address yesterday before the American jank ers' Association, now in session at St. Louis, by Benjamin I. Cohen, president of the Portland Trust Company of Ore gon. Mr. Cohen is vice-president of the association for Oregon. His address summarized the many good features that Oregon is proud of, and was as follows: The State of Oregon is an empire in itself. Its area Is M.fiBO square mile!. The mild, damp, ocean climate of its western portion contrasts with the drier clime east of the Cascades'. . , It produces in abundant quantity, and in unrivaled quality, almost every good and de sirable tlung that grows In the temperate zone. Its timber makes the best of lumber: which, at pres-nt prices, means that 'lumber' and "wealth" are convertible terms. Its enormous crop of wheat has this year added untold millions to the resources of Its farmers; has kept the machinery of Its mills singing a merry song, as It was converted into snowy flour; and whitened the ocean with the sails of the ships bearing it to foreign marts. Hops in great abundance have rewarded the care of the husbandmen, while the "shepherds on Its thousand hills" have been blessed with enormous return of wool ot the choicest quality. We manufacture the finest of blankets and the best of woolen cloths. In which shoddy Is conspicuous by Its absence. Oats, rye, barley, salmon, sheep, cattle, horses, have each added their quota. The finest apples in the world, produced in Oregon, are now on their, way to tickle the pslates of London epicures. Other fruits have s,Iso added their golden store. Our export are prodigious. The Jobbers and wholesalers of our cities, the retailers and manufacturers all over the state, have en Joyed a profitable year. City real estate, farm, timber and grazing lands, have sold in large quantities, and at steadily advancing prices. "(Vngea have been good, and labor has been continuously employed. In both Eastern and Southern Oregon are gold mines of great richness and vast pro ductive capacity. Other valuable minerals also abound. In brief, all lines of business are prosperous.
