Fawniil! employes say they will tic up
every mill 1m Portland. Mil! owners in
sist the situation is not at all serious
and that there will be no shutdown
whatever. It was impossible, from in
formation obtainable from both sides,
last night, to predict whether the em
ployes or the employers are the best
jirognosticators. This much can be said,
however, many of the sawmill men tiave
been "unionized" and have shown un
usual earnestness In acting deliberately.
The hot-headed radicals have been sup
pressed at every1 turn and have been told
to "wait a while" and make no mistakes.
If the strikers are to be believed, the
Jnman. Poulsen & Co. mill will not be
running today, for the reason the em
ployes desire to test their strength by
declaring a general walk-out at this
plant.
At the same time, George AV. Thatcher,
yiurrhasing agent of this company, said
last night, the situation gives his com
pany no concern whatever; that the pre
dictions of the men are unfounded and
that the mill will be operated with a full
shift today as usual. Contrary to a pub
lished rumor, no demands for increased
wages have been made on lnman, Poul
sen & Co.
It is apparent even to the casual ob
server that If the men can iind a level
headed executive to handle their affairs
they may cause a whole lot of trouble,
and possibly effect a general tie-up of
every mill in the city, for the men ap
pear to be imbued with the idea that
thry are not paid wafees commensurate
with the present living expenses, rentals
and prevailing prices of the lumber
which they handle.
. 3Ien Kcady to Organize.
No difficulty will be encountered in the
efforts of labor leaders to effect an or
ganization among the men if they go at
it right, and It will be an organization
utrongor, numerically, than any other
body in the Stale of Oregon.
Over against this the mlUowners feel
sure they will be able to secure plenty
of unskilled labor to take the places of
4tie strikers in case the walkout becomes
general, for the reason that it requires
no particular experience to be a chute
inan or a yardman, and it is in these
linos that the trouble is now centering.
t'o industrial disturbance of any serious
proportions will result unless the strik-
rs persuado the sawyers, planers, engi-
icers, firemen, fliers, fitters, teamsters
and upstairs men to join their ranks. .
The first display of violence . rame at
the Eastern & Western Mill' yester
day at noon, when a truckman, George
M'eber, nged 70. who was engaged in
clearing tho chutes, was assaulted by
a striker and badly beaten. Weber
was forced to 50 home, and the assail
ant escaped. A John roe warrant will
be issued for him. as Patrolmen Lytle
and Craddock, who were detailed on
tho case, have a good description of
him. He will be charged with assault
and battery, as well as trespass, the
police having tacked up "No trespass"
signs all over the yards, bo that they
will have better evidence in court
against disturbers in case any violence
takes place at the mill.
Aside from the assault on "Weber,
there was no violence at the Kastern
Western Mill yesterday, although
an emergency force worked almost all
day clearing the chutes so that the day
shift could go to work today. The
company dratted a number of its
bosses, inside men, yardmen, timekeep
ers, teamsters and others, to assist in
moving the Saturday cut, which
amounted to only about 10 per cent
of the usual dally output. Only three
logs were cut Saturday forenoon, and
n few more in tho afternoon, totaling
about 25.000 feet all day. showing that
the strikers had practically tied up the
plant,
CTioc Opportune Time.
The chutemen who walked out ap
parently were wise enough in selecting
a time for their strike, even if tney
displayed undue baste in not giving
their employers any notice, for the
f Kastern & Western mill has between
A 9.300,00 und 10,000,000 feet of lumber
piled in the yards and on the docks
nt the present time, with immediate
orders far in excess of this output.
Superintendent J. W. Fowler said
last night that the company had en
paged enough chutemen and yardmen
to take the places of the strikers, and
hat the mill would run as usual today.
jKvery man that applied for a job was
taken on, in order to avoid a shutdown.
JThe company decided to take no
bpfs, aih! hopes to have enough
men on hand today to move every
piece of lumber cut. even If every one
if the 40 or ."i0 yardmen should join
the 11 striking chutemen.
Trevious published accounts in local
dallies as to the scale paid have been
incorrect. sayj Mr. Kowler. The men
work only 10 hours a clay instead of 12.
as stated from 7 A. M. to 5:30 P. M.,
with half an hour off for lunch, and with
the same length of hours for the night
fihlft. and the lowest wage paid has been
S2.2r. while some of the men have been
jiaid $-.7vV Contrary to the published
statements of the strikers, they have re
vived an increase in wages within the
last year. Last April wages were in
creased from the existing scale of from
to VZ.:) a day to from to J2.73.
so that the company feels that it has
lone the right tiling by Its men in ad
vancing wages commensurate with the in
crease in the price of lumber and the
higher living expenses. The average wage
In all Portland mills is 5-. 40 for a 10-hour
day.

afternoon and evening, but they had
nothing to do but to eject a few of the
strikers who loitered around the prem
ises. The police believe they can prevent
any disturbance, and Patrolman Peter
son, who is a Swede, says he has the
assurance of the striking chute rnen. all
of whim are fellow count rymen. that
they will attempt no violence in enforc
ing their demands.
There were no demonstrations of anv
sort at the yards of the North Pacific
mpany, tne .Portland: Lumber Oompany
the inman-Ponlsen Company plants
iter Jay, but a guard will be on hand
at the latter mill, in case any attempt is 1
made to tie it up today. '
The strikers, be it said, have gone at
the matter systematically and have
lost no time in securing all the organ-
ized labor support possible. Ielegates
from the strikers called on the offi
cials of the State Federation of Labor
and were told that they would have
the united 'support of all affiliated
unions as soon as they were willing to
put the strike on a union basis. In
addition to this they opened negotia
tions early Saturday afternoon with
the local of f rials of the Industrial
Workers of the 'World, and began en
rolling as members of Local No. 319
of that organization at once.
At the first meeting Saturday after
noon nearly 100 sawmill men, most of
whom bad belonged to the defunct
Sawmill Men's Union, organized some
years ago. paid their dues and became
active members of the local I. "W. W.
Saturday night another meeting was
held, at which sawyers, engineers, fire
men, upstairs men, chutemen, yardmen,
teamsters and planing-mill men were
present, and about 60 more joined the
union.
About 75 per cent of these men were
employes of the Kastern & AVestern.
Mill, and the balance were from the
Jnman-Potilsen Mill.
About 30 more paid dues and took
out cards at a meeting held at 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon, and fully
50 more joined at the meeting held at
8 o'clock last night. This was the
most portentous meeting of the four
gatherings yet held, the I. W. W. hav
ing' turned its headquarters, at 292
Burnside street, over to the sawmill
men. The whole situation was dis
cussed, some of the speakers calling
attention to the fact that the lumber
industry was the most important one
In the state, and the only one in which
thousands of employes more than
fiO.000 all together were not affiliated.
It was also stated that the wages, by
and large, paid to sawmill men were
far lower for the services rendered
and for the hours involved than any
other industry in the state.
Speakers Talk Swedish.
A number, of speakers addressed tho
audience in the Swedish tongue, and
one of them said that the best way to
handle the present situation was for
every man employed in the lumber In
dustry to go about his work, but to
affiliate with some organisation as
quickly as possible, to avoid any out
breaks or violence of any sort, and
then when the lumber industry of the
state had been completely unionized to
declare a general strike.
"Iet every man walk out at a given
hour." pleaded the speaker, "let him give
his employers, through his union, to
understand that ne means business, but
also give the employers to understand
that the wage-earner does not expect to
exact unfair demands.
"A 25 cents a day increase is fair," he
added in his native tongue, and he was
applauded to the echo. "We Swedes of
Oregon should organize and get our just
deserts. "We can do it as well as not.
and the place to strike the first blow is
right here in Portland, and from here
we can work into the other lumber-pro
ducing districts of the state. The de
111 and for lumber Is greater throughout
the country "than it ever was before, and
the mills have orders they cannot fill for
months."
This speech was followed by the ad
dition of more than a score of men 'to
the union.
President W. P. Graham and Financial
Secretary F. Hart, of the new union, re
fused to state wfrat the immediate plans
of the organization would be.
'I don't know.' said Mr. Hart, "whether
the men will attempt to force a close'
down at Inman-Poulsen Company's- mill
in the morning or not, I am inclined to
think that no drastic action will be
taken, however, until the union appoints
its executive and strike committees. It
is customary for all questions like thi
to be engineered through committees, and
they have not yet been appointed.
Expect Mill AVill Run.
"We are not worrying a bit," said
George W. Thatcher, purchasing agent of
the Inman-Poulsen mill. "There is noth
ing to this strike talk and it is nonsense
to suppose these few men will be able to
tie up all the mills ua Portland. We
expect to go on as usual tomorrow morn
ing. Not a word has come to me that an
effort will be made to force our plant
to shut down. So far as I know, our men
are entirely satisfied with their present
wages."
The Eastern & Western mill employs
close to 300 men in each of the two shifts,
while the Inman-Poulsen people have
about 400 employes, and the Portland
Lumber Company and the North Pacific
Company have about the same number.
The East Side Lumber Company has not
as yet been involved, but the strikers say
they will ask the employes of the latter
concern to join their forces as soon as
they have perfected their union.
Summed up briefly, it will require the
shrewdest sort of diplomacy for the mill
owners to prevent the precipitation of a
most serious and far-reaching industrial
disturbance. It will also require, on the
part of the disgruntled employes, the
most deliberate wisdom to enforce their
demands, and this hasty action, more
than anything else, seems to have in
fluenced the Eastern & Western Mill
Company not to yield its position in re
fusing to grant the men's request

CONTRARY NOT THE TRUTH
Largest Ucfectlon Is ITue to Lack of
Proper Instruction" in Youth.
Says Parents Are Much
to Blame.
Taking for his text the words of Christ.
"Blessed are they that hear the word of
God and keep it," Father-O'Hara spoke
of the causes which sometimes lead peo
ple to the abandonment of the practices
of religious faith. "The largest defection,"
he said, "is due to a lack of proper re
ligious instruction in youth. A thou
sand cares and pleasures engross the at
tention of grown men and women, . and
render it almost vain to expect and futile
to .attempt to instill religious principles
In minds where spiritual sensibility has
been atrophied by long disuse. A grave
responsibility is thus seen to rest on the
shoulders of parents. The rapid and sub
stantial growth of our Catholic educa
tional system- is . fortunately eliminating
the condition which formerly led to ne
gleet of the thorough instruction of our
young people. .
"A second Source of losses . has grown
out of the conditions of a newly-opened
country where facilities for church at
tendance did not exist. Throughout the
length and breadth of this great coun
try there are now, happily, but few sec
tions where such a condition obtains.
While these chief sources of defection
are being rapidly removed, there will al
ways remain the possibility of loss of
faith through moral obliquity. In par
ticular, there will perhaps always be de
fections due to marital entanglements
reprobated by the church.
Dogma Only Religious Truth.
"But. it will be asked, what is to be
said about the contention that the church
is losing its influence on men. that dogma
is revolting to the practical masculine
mind? j statement could be farther
from the truth. A religious dogma la
simpiy an important religious truth.
Hence the church which discards dog
matic teaching may be a success as a
social club, as regards religion it is sim
ply bankrupt, and if it should determine
to keep its doors open, it should in hon
esty change the sign on its gate-post. To
be without dogma is to be without re
ligious conviction:
"The idea that men are little Influenced
by religion is the outcome of a false view
of religion, which makes it chiefly a
matter of emotion and sentiment. Religion
is a practical concern teeming with vital
issues. Consequently the Catholic Church,
far from losing her moral and religious
influence with men, is ever and increas
ingly encouraged by their devotedness.
Never In her history has the church had
as intelligent and devoted a body of lay
men as she has today. As for dogma
and the masculine type of mind, there is
no cause for alarm. A religion which
claims the whole-hearted and life service
of such master-minds of such masculine
mold as those of Cardinal Gibbons, Arch
bishop Ireland, Bishop Spalding and the
other leaders of the church in our own
country has no apprehensions on that
score.
Men Largely Churchgoers.
Tt is. however, a common thing for
would-be social reformers to announce that
Christianity is .no longer an important
factor hi social progress, since its ap
peal never reaches the ears of men.
From many sources the question is put.
Why do men not go to church ? The
answer which suggests itself to one who
stands within the sanctuary each Sun
day morning, and sees four successive
congregations of men men from every
station in life constitute fully one-half
the audience, assemble for an hour of
divine worship, is that the question Is
utterly unfair and misleading. Men who
never received thorough religious In
struction as children will, of course,
eeldom have religious convictions. If. as
children, they were led to believe religion
of such small importance that its study
could be relegated to one day of the
week, while secular studies demanded
the other six days, no one has a right
to be astonished if when they grow up
they consider religious institutions of
little importance. '

MANKIND'S GREAT STRVGGLE
Search for Human Perfection Ex
tends to Every People.
The services at the White Temple
last night were opened with baptism,
there being four candidates, and after
a short song service. Rev. J. hit
comb Brougher preached the third of
his series of sermons on "Jesus and
Life Struggles," entitled "Humanity's
Greatest Struggle." He based the ser
mon on the question, "What must I do
to be saved?" He said in part:
This is a universal Question. There is
no question that can Interest so many peo
ple as this one. Talk about the burning
Issues of the day. None of them has such
vital interest to mankind as the problem of
how to be saved, from sin. There are peo
ple who are interested In discussing go9d
government, the social evil, the saloon, and
various sociological problems. Men differ
in a great many respects on all these ques
tions just as they differ in features and
color of hair, but the question upon which
bumanity is one is the question "How may
I be saved from sin and be what I ouirht
to be?" A friend has said that all babies
cry In the same language.
There is also a universal cry of mankind
for the soul's deliverance from sin. The
Hindu mother casting her babe into the
Ganges Is endeavoring to answer the ques
tion "What must I do to be saved?" The
howling dervishes of Arabia and the fak
1th xiho hold one arm In the air until It In
withered to a stump are trying to answer
the question. "What must I do to be
saved?" The thousands that go swarming
toward Mecca, dragging their weary bodies
rail after mile to wash them In a filthy
jrtream, are trying to answer the same ques
tion. There is no heart In all the world
that ts not consciously or unconsciously try
ing to solve the problem, t'How can Z be
what I ought to be?"
I n many a city the "conscience fund'
signifies the effort of many to answer thi
question. People who have dodged the!
taxes and other thieves become afraid to
live and afraid to die with blood money in
their possession. Sometimes a great gift
of money to charity or education, if the
motive were kr.own, would spell out an
effort to answer the question, "What must
1 do to be saved?" As another has welt
mid "In heathen rite and rellsious nil
grimage. and Christian Routine, by tears
and agonies and prayers, the question of the
jailer is rephrased In every land by count
less questioners."
There Is but one universal answer to thi
question: "Believe In the Lord, Jesus Christ,
and thou shalt be saved." There is no
other name under heaven given whereby
men may be saved. Jesus Chrlsf alone Is
the universal Savior. In the religions of
the world you will flnrt lofty ethical teach
tngs. but in none of them has there been
revealed a divine method of salvation. One
cannot but be impressed by the earnest

Many women suffer in silence and

How many women do you know
who are perfectly well and strong?
The cause may be easily traced to
some feminine derangement which
manifests itself in depression of

sensations, flatulency, nervousness, ;
and sleeplessness.
These symptoms are but warnings j
that there is danger ahead, and im-

DISSIPATION KEAL MENACE
lr. Driver Says Impure Lives Im
peril Future of Americans.
"Perils of the Nation" was the sub
ject of the lecture to men by Dr. T.
D. Driver yesterday afternoon at Trin
ity Methodist Church. There was a
large attendance, Rev. L. F. Smith, the
pastor, introducing Dr. Driver as a
man who had made exhaustive study of
the subject, and remarked that the op
portunity to hear him was a rare one.
Dr. Driver occupied over an hour in
a talk that held the closest attention.
in which he declared that the people
of the United States must' change or
follow in the footsteps of Spain and
France. He pointed out that the main
source of weakness of the nations
that had fallen was in the dissipation
of the people, leaving nothing but
weak and effeminate men and women
to keep up the race who were weak
ened by disease and unfit to become
the parents of healthy children. He
declared that a sound man or woman
was even now hard to find, probably
not more than 10 in 100 being physi
cally sound. He expressed the opinion
that in Portland not 8 young men out
of 100 are absolutely sound in body,
not, probably, from their own evil
life, hut because of transmitted dis
ease. Dr. Driver did not spare the church
and its members, and declared that
preachers were silent on this subject,
while they preach about nothing hut
the Sunday newspapers, prohibition and
the slot machines," avoiding the great
questions of personal purity. Scien-'
tific illustrations were used to demon
strate the far-reaching evils of impure
and immoral lives on the race, and
the speaker declared that something
must be done to stay the ravages of
disease among the young people of
both sexes, but what that something
should be Dr. Driver confessed he did
not know. He said he has studied
the question- for more than 50 years,
and has come to the conclusion .that
ruin must overtake this Nation unless
the progress of disease, the result of
vicious lives and dissipation, can be
Btopped.
At the conclusion of the lecture
many in the audience came forward
and thanked the veteran minister for
his plain and instructive lecture, and
the wish was expressed that arrange
ments be made for. a mass meeting in
Portland in the near future to afford
others the opportunity to hear him
on the same subject.
GIVES MESSAGE OP CHEEK.
Rev. Corby Preaches on Advance
ment of Portland.
At the "Church of Good Tidings." on
the East Side, Rev. James D. Corby
spoke yesterday morning on the text.
John xvi:33, "Be of good cheer; I have
overcome the world. After giving an
exposition of the text. Rev. Corby said:
"We live in a beautiful and growing
city. -It is particularly favored of God
as to climate, situation and resources.
More and more heroic men and wom
en who seek for better advantages are
making their homes here. It is in
spiring to observe how, with all the
pressure of materialism, so much has
been accomplished toward the' higher
life. The fine and growing library, the
beautiful parks, provision for the fine
arts and educational facilities the peer
of many older states, combined with
a progressive spirit that will not per
mit our schools to lag behind.
"In an age prolific in yellow jour
nalism, the press of our city, both in
ideals and literary quality, is of an
exceptionally high order." As one per
ceives these advantages and considers
the many others which a longer ac
quaintance with the city will reveal,
the query arises: 'Why not let Port
land give one the measure of life?"
"Would the accepted tendency of
things here produce the finest type
of character? How about politics? It
is an inviting field, with the -many
large public works to be wrought and
the vast public funds to be expended.
Though salaries are larger and posi
tions more stable in commercial 'life,
the horde of office-seekers never di
minishes. Is it not customary to pledge
votes and Influence for a certain bill
in consideration of the favor being
returned, even 'when the measure is a
vicious orie?
"Has political morality become sub
ject to suspicion without reason? The
record of land and timber frauds, the
swollen bank accounts of officials be
yond any salary gains, reveals the fry
ing: need for civic righteousness.
"In 1907, as in the time of Christ,
It is hardly safe for one who aspires
to serve his fellows to allow common
political nations to give him the meas
ure of his life. In city departments or
legislative halls men are needed who
can stand in the midst of the current
without being, swept by it. Men who
are unpurchaseable, who see the right
and dare to do it; who make no com
promise with evil such men can say
with Christ: ..'I have overcome the
world. -
Can our city ?Ive the measure for
life in the realm of trade? Thank
God for those whose life, is an open
book, whose methods are honorable
and whose .wealth is clean. But many
say; 'Business Is business. We are out
after the dollar, and would be foolish
to allow one' to escape us. It is this
spirit which winks at questionable
practices; which lifts the dollar above
the man. Never mind if the wage is
too small to enable them to dress as
you demand; flesh and blood are cheap;
if their sense of virtue and honor are
too keen, let them go and find others
not so scrupulous.'
" 'Since business is merely a getting
of money and not the God-chosen
means .of character building, and my
business Is to handle drugs, why should
I care who buys them? If a messenger
boy has the price, or some unfortunate
forming the drug habit, why should
I not sell them? If I dont someone
else will. The dollar of a dope fiend
will buy as much as the dollar of a
physician who would use it to help in
stead of harm.'
"So with the renter of prbperty. The
accepted rule is to sell in the dearest
market. Make your property yield all
that can be squeezed out of It. Legit
imate business will pay high rental
for advantageous locations; but there
are human vultures, who prey on the
weakness of their fellows, harpies who
pander to the vices and depraved appe
tites of humanity. Give your property
for their use, be accommodatingly blind
and deaf to the unfortunates whose
lives are degraded and who bring un
told sorrow to their families; for such
tenants pay big money.
"We are familiar with the excuse:
If I did not provide the facilities for
this vileness, someone else would, and
I should lose the rich profit.'
"We detect men in petty meanness
under the guise of business that should
shame a wolf. Their explanation is
that competition Is so keen that it is a
case of dog eat dog. That sort of thing
might do among an Alaskan sledge
team; but you claim to be men; then
live as men; engage In trade with the
same consecration with which you
would partake of the Communion.

MAX NEXT TO THE CREATOR
Kev. Alexander McGregor Proposes
Answer to Psalmist's Question.
Rev. Alexander McGregor, of St. Paul,
Minn., preached yesterday at the First
Congregational Church. He took for
his text Psalm viii:4, "What is man. that
thou art mindful of him? and the son
of man, that thou visltest him?' He
said in part:
From th time man opens hi oyes in tho
cradle until h peers into the deep dark
nens of the vast beyond, he in a questioner.
Through tills process of asking questions
and striving to answer them he advancen
ever upward and forward. Out upon tho
hillside in the calm, clear night of' Spring.
King David looked up at the starry heav
ens, and, impressed by their greatness and
majesty, and feeling hie own httlenesH, he
asks the question. "What Is man?" As -we
answer this question in molding our live?,
our existence will be to us either sordid
and worldly or noble and high.
The answer of the Word to the question.
according to the GFlinal text, ip. 'Thou
hast made him a little lower than God."
There is no proof in Scripture or in science
that God ever made a being with greater
powers or possibilities than man.
Man is a spirit linked by his Creator to
the Divine Spirit. No honors or glories
of earth can fully satisfy the longings of
the soul of man, for he 1s satisfied only with
the Divine power. He cries out for the.
Divine bread, and we give him the stone
of earth. The grave is not the goal to
which the Creator intended man to run.
God has honored man, the highest work
of his creation, with many and bounteous
gifts. Creation points her finger at him.
Man alone can understand creation. Man
alone can co-operate in it. Bu Thank has
made tho scentless verbena to take the
fragrance of the trailing arbutus; made a
tree grow faster than ever before and tipped
its leaves with fragrance.
Rev. Mr. McGregor will speak at
the prayer meeting .of the Kirst Con
gregational Church " next Thursday
night on the destitution of the Orient.
The best spring medicine is Hood s Sar
saparilla. because it purities the blood.
