Thirty-five of the 40 men employed in
the planing mill of Frank Schmitt.& Com
pany, East Taylor and Eighth streets,
talked out yesterday at noon. These
a-nen on Monday presented a. demand for
minimum wage of J2.50 a day for nine
hours' work. The mill management was
IPiven until noon yesterday .to . consider
the requcat and. falling: to make the con
cessions, the men quit work, completely
rrlpplinp; the plant.
"We do not apprehend any serious trou
ble except for the inconvenience of being
fenuired to close down for a few days,"
Bald Mr. Schmitt yesterday. "We expect
Ho be able within a few days to procure
other men to take the places of the
strikers.'
' Everything is running satisfactorily in
rthe box factories. At the Standard Box
tJ'actory this morning 16 additional men
I were" given work.
"During the day fully 50 men applied
for places in this mill, said Manager
I "Woodcock last night, "but the manage-
mient was compelled to refuse some of
i tne .applicants for the reason that all of
' the help offered cannot be utilized in
'the operation of the plant in only a part
of its departments. Among those asking
jrfor employment at this mill are a nuciber
:Of the former employes, but the majority
I of the applicants are strangers, of whom
I there is an unusually large number in
I the city.
The Union, Multnomah and Oregon Box
factories are also being run shorthanded,
;but there is every prospect that these
I mills will have no trouble in equipping
their plants with a full force of men
whenever it may be decided to operate
all departments.
Work in One Sawmill.
A small force or men was set to work
In the planing and resaw departments
of the Oregon and "Washington lumber
! mill yesterday morning. Neither
"four large lumber mills have undo
of the
dertaken
to start their plants yet and owing to re
pairs that are in progress, they could not
do so If they desired to. When the
I strike trouble wa first presented, the
managements of these mills proceeded
to make an Inspection of their properties
'and immediately began making the re-
pairs that were found to lie necessary.
These repaira are not yet completed and
'cannot be concluded before the latter
ipart of this week and possibly not until
next week. At that time a force of men
;wlll in all probability be engaged and the
'plants will resume operations with a dav
force.
The first delivery or lumber to Port
land contractors was made yesterday
since the strike began more than two
weeks ago. This will enable the exten
sive building improvements- in this city
nd vicinity to be resumed.
The strikers appear to be losing ground
dally. Yesterday the officers of the
: longshoremen's union authorized the
'statement that they would continue to
andle all lumber that is offered for
Rhipment. This is disastrous news for
the striking millhands who have been
: depending on the co-operation of this
union in their erforts to effectually crlp
tple the lumber Industry and themove
.jnent of all lumber. The strikers, how
ever, will admit no discouragement on
, their part and contend that their organi
sation Is stronger than ever.
Operations of Strikers.
The Industrial Workers of the World is
now directing Its efforts In two direc
tions. It is causing the lumber mills
I and the box factories to be visited regu
llarly each day, morning, noon and even
ring, by delegations of strikers in an ef
M'ort to intimidate those laborers that
have returned to work and at the same
time to prevent. If possible, others from
Accepting employment. The organization
lis also seeking to extend its influence to
Mhe planing mills and the sash and door
factories, hoping to effect the shutdown
of these Institutions.
Another meeting of the Columbia River
fl.oggers' Association will be held at the
Chamber of Commerce this afternoon
jwhen the strike situation win be dls
' cussed. The logging camps on the lower
; Columbia and its . tributaries were not
i closed down until Saturday and in the
two weeks they operated during the prog
ress of the strike several million feet or
Iocs accumulated. Secretary R. s. Far
,rell, df the Loggers' Association, ' is of
the opinion that it may be decided to con
; tinue the shutdown, of the camps until
the surplus of logs has been exhausted
thereby avoiding all danger of glutting
the market.
Wade Parks, special reporter for the
Daily and Weekly People, the offiical
paper of the Industrial Workers of the
World, who is In the citv assisting
to direct the sthike, and who also rep
resents the strike executive committee.,
lest night made the following state
ment: Press Agent Makes a Statement.
"It has been published that the mills
or this city have resumed operations
They have not. These mills undertook
to start up Monday, but found them-
selves unable to do so because of their
mammy to get help. The Industrial
Workers of the World Is increasing
in membership dally. There are no de
fections among the men, who are just
as enthusiastic and determined to win
the tight as they were Rt the beginning.
Some of the millowners have agreed to
grant all that we have demanded in
the way of increased wages and a
shorter workday. We have decided not
to carry the strike to the mills and
other industries outside of Portland as
long an those mills make no attempt
to Interfere with the situation in this
city by disposing of their lumber in
rh local market. Should these mills
attempt to supply the Portland market,
tljcn we-, will, organize, those mills.". - "
Millowners are especially emphatic
in their denial of the claims of the'
strikers. . which, they assert, are ex
travagant. The employers denounce as
a fabrication, manufactured from whole
cloth, the statement that-thcy, or any
one of them, have agreed to the de
mands pf tite strikers. The fart that
several of file strikers have resumed
their former positions in the box fac
tories, say the millowners, is in iiself
positive , proof that the Industrial
Workers of the World is finding It im
possible to keep its members in line.
Millowners, further contend that the
conclusion of the strike leaders not to
extend the -work of organization to
outlying mills is a perfectly logical
position for them to take, in view of
the complete failure that attended all
efforts to organize the Kainier lumber
mills and the other mills in this local
ity, preliminary to a threatened shut
down of all lumber-producing plants
on the Coast.
May Join the Federation.
Some of .the laborers that arc accept
ing employment in the box factories
have suggested to members of the
Federation of Labor the practicability
of, organizing under the banner of the
American Federation of Labor. Such
an organization, to be affiliated witli
the Federation of Labor, may be ef
fected when settled conditions have
been restored.
"We have no disposition to inter
fere: neither do we propose to take
any hand In the present situation,"
said a prominent member of the Fed
eration of Labor last night. "But when
the present trouble has been adjusted
and the mills have resumed operations
with a full force of men., these labor
ers, if they so desire, will be organized
and received into the American Fed
eration of Labor. But in the meantime
we are having nothing to do with the
disagreement between the millhands
and the millowners." i
PIONEER OF 1850 DEAD
Long at ml Advent urous Career of
William Kilea Ends.
'In the death of' William Riloa, yester
day afternoon, there passed away a
pioneer of 1850. and the man who in 1852
vwned the block of ground on which the
Chamber of Commerce stands and sold
the property for $iMX to get money to go
to California during the mining excite
ment. He died at his home, No. 304
Kast "Washington street, at the age o
77 years, of a complication of diseases.
Mr. Kilea was born in Ohio, and came
across the plains to Portland in 1850 with
a large train of emigrants, first settling
in Portland. In JSoj he went to Cali
fornia, where he remained in the mines
for several years, when he returned io
Oregon, settling in Albany. Here he was
elected City Marshal, in which capacity
he served two years, and then moved to
Lebanon. Seven years ago he came to
Portland. ,
Mr. Bflea was married in 1S74 to Miss
Krnot Steward, who survives him. George
Kilea. now at "Washington. D. C, and
Joshua Steward, of Montavilla, are broth
ers of the deceased. John Rilea and Mrs.
Sarah Ball, of Ohio, are his brother and
sister.
CASHES FORGED CHECKS
E. G. Speclit Loses $30 by Opera
tions of Two Swindlers.
Two forged checks for 515 each were
passed on K. G. Specht. proprietor of
the Bay City saloon. Saturday night,
by two clever criminals, who were
"made up" to represent cement work
ers. The checkg were signed by 'EI-
wood Wiles," and were drawn on the
Oregon Trust & Savings Bank. Specht
did not learn of the loss lie had sus
tained until the bank officials, in hand
ling the checks, ascertained that Mr.
"Wiles had never issued them. Specht
reported his case to the police yester
day morning.
It is thought by the police to he
remarkable that no more checks have
been reported as being passed by the
two men, as the game they played in
covering their clothing with lime and
signing the name of Mr. AViles, a well
known cement .contractor, to the
checks, was well calculated to deceive.
A CLOSE VIEW OF LINCOLN STEFFENS
MILD-MANNERED BOGIE-MAN WHO TERRIFIES THE GRAFTERS
BY ARTHfR A. GREENE.
ONE of the mildest-mannered bogie
men who ever frightened a year's
growth out of a timid little political
boss or captain of industry is Lincoln J.
Steffens, with whom I had a rendezvous
near the fearsome hour of midnight re
cently in the deserted lobby of the Port
land Hotel.
I had kept half a dozen bellboys on
the hop all the night through, taking
cards to his room, only to discover when
at last he did return that he "had been in
Oregon City talking initiative and refer
endum with W. S. U'Ren. They must
have had a grand little tete-a-tete during
the eight hours they visited together.
Mr. Steffens is a smallish man but
sturdy. In general appearance suggesting
Fred Funston as lie looked at the be
ginning of the Spanish War.- He wears
a brown Vandyke beard and has a-bookish
look, but well as he knows his books
ne knows men better and is an eminently
practical student, of his brethren.
I was prepared to find htm full of vain
glory and dogmatism, as many of our
reform writers are. but discovered within
a' minute after we had shaken hands that
he is one of the most companionable men
I have ever met. His manner is entirely
unaffectedt his voice is that peculiar even
baritone that belongs to men with re
serve power, and his 'smile drives away
dull care. 1 Imagine he smites when he
is jabbing his harpoon into the corrup
lionists the hardest, not for the ghouiish
pleasure of seeing them squirm, but as
an earnest to them that there is no ani
mus back of his efforts. He is not a
prosecutor of individuals and it isn't the
man he is after it is the ancient and
more or less honorable Institution of
graft, call it by any other name you will.
I for one am convinced of Steffens'
sincerity and I defy any unbiased man
to talk to him for half an hour and
com to any other conclusion. His work
Isn't a pleasant one. He could make just
as much money writing other things, and
he has enough of this world's goods to
be indifferent to Grub street and its ven
ality. He is really convinced that he is
discharging a great duty in exposing offi
cial and corporation iniquity.
"I'm not much interested in individual
wrongdoing," he remarked in a casual
way after the disreputable little briar
pipe he smokes had begun to warm up.
"If you were to tell me that your City
Treasurer had just absconded with $1,000.
000 I shouldn't consider that it was a
matter that came within my province.
But if you were to tell me that a syndi
cate of bankers had looted Portland of
Jl.ooo.GOO under the protection of a system
of Iniquitous laws, then I should immedi
ately proceed to 'get busy."
"It is less significant to me that some
political and business leaders in Oregon
stole thouAtnds of acres of tlie public
ANNUAL BANQUET
ay
Fun Fast and Furious at Gath
ering of Promoters of -Profitable
Publicity.' ,
LINCOLN STEFFENS GUEST
Magazine Writer Enters Into Jocular
Spirit or Xovel Entertainment
and Takes Active Tart in ,
Some of the Stunts.
The most original banquet ever given
in Portland perhaps was the third an
nual dinner of the Portland Admen's
League at the Commercial Club last
night. There were numerous features of
the dinner that made it unique. Not for
a moment did the most critical guest
lose Interest in the proceedings. The
fun was fast and furious. A minstrel
show, with jokes at the expense of prom
inent Portland men. was a feature, and
a mock spiritualistic seance in which
Lincoln J. Steffens. the magazine writer,
played the part of the medium, were
the hits of the evening.
During the entertainment the toast
master, William J. Hofmann. was ar
rested by a squad of policemen for run
ning a place of amusement without a
license, ar.d a detail of firemen came in
and requested that the water supply of
the Commercial Club be temporarily cut
off. as it was needed by the Fire De
partment. The request was promptly
granted there wasn't a hint of protest!
Governor Chamberlain, who sat at the
right hand of the toastmaster, promised
to bail out Mr. Hofmann upon' his ar
rest. .
Short speeches were made by many
notables and the speakers, when they
began to grow prosy, were summarily
cut short by a stereopticon operator, who
flashed the significant figures "23" upon
a canvas. At intervals the banquet hall
would be plunged . into complete dark
ness, while a gong sounded and a spooky
voice announced the next number on the
programme. Then the lights would be
switched on again and the dinner would
proceed. Startling surprises wore the
rule. Not for a moment did the interest
flag, although the function lasted from
7 o'clock until 10:30.
Mr. Steffens. the guest of honor, was
presented with a muck-rake. He accept
ed the implement gracefully and spoke
very briefly, saying he did not see much
use for his services in Oregon, where, he
said, he found that the Governor of tlie
state was the real head of the state.
Compliments of the .Governor.
"There are not ' five Governors in the
trnited States." said he. "who are the
real governing power in the state. I
have also learned that the Mayor of your
city is the real head of the lily. Now.
I don't know what is the matter with
Oregon, and I am left with nothing to
say not even '23.' "
The function was patterned after one
of the famous Gridiron Club functions.
Very clever stunts were introduced, and
everyone took the "roasts" in good part.
As the guests were .being seated the
lights suddenly . went out and a voice
announced through a megaphone, "Eat,
drink and be merry, for tomorrow you
advertise." The .lights came back and
the guests found themselves seated at
tables brilliant with electric lights of va
rious kinds, from tiny incandesccnts that
twinkled from green foliage to large
shaded globes. Carnations, hyacinths, tu
lips and Oregon grape foliage were the
decorations of the tables.
After the cocktails had been served,
the meassage from Chief Campbell of the
Fire Department was received at the
liand.s of a fireman in full uniform. The
little German band then came in and
paraded about the room. B. I. Dasent
spoke for five minutes on the "Objects
of the Ad Men's L,eague." He was
drowned out by the Chinese gong when
domain than it is that for years the state
virtually indorsed their wrongdoing and
became an accessory before the fact by
continuing them- in office and supinely
permitting them Co have their own way.
"It Is a much more important fact that
the state has reformed its political meth
ods and made a return to such condi
tions impossible than that some men were
tried and convicted of land frauds."
In spite of his protestation that he
isn't interested so much in persona, Mr.
Steffens seemed curious concerning cer
tain men and asked various questions
that might or might not have made them
uneasy.
"I shall probably write an article on the
land frauds. Of course, that's an old
etory here, but I'm not writing for Ore
gon alone. The entire country is inter
ested and ifi not so familiar with the his
tory of the frauds as you are. My ar
ticle may not be very timely from a
news standpoint, for-it will probably not
be published for months, but news isn't
the essence in such an instance.
"The whole country is also greatly in
terested in Oregon because she leads the
Union in the matter of popular govern
ment. "I've just met and talked with W. S.
U'Ren, who. I understand, deserves more
credit for bringing about the new order
than any other man.
"I've seen all sorts of reformers, but
he's a new one to me. I have never met
a man like him. If the country gener
ally knew of him and his work he would
be a conspicuous National figure, and he's
likely to become such. Much of the suc
cess of your direct election of Senators
will depend on the ofTtcial conduct and
ability of Senator Bourne, whom 1
haven't met. Certainly he has a great
opportunity and a greater responsibility.
It ia 'up to him' to, in a large measure,
IT demonstrate the advantage that will ac
crue to the whole people through the
election of Senators by popular vote
rather than by the votes ot special in
terests. The people of all sections are
watching him, for they are preparing to
follow Oregon's lead and trv the experi
ment for themselves."
The pioneer muck-raker bit at the efem
of his pipe when I asked him to name
the state that he considered the most
corrupt and shades of Daniel "Webster
and George F. Hoar! which one do you
think he said? Massachusetts! O tem
poral O mores! and then some more, O
mores!
He declined to venture a guess as to
the next Republican Presidential candi
dates, but classified the possible candi
dates of both ' the great parties under
two heads those who represent Wall
street and those who stand for the people.
Among tlie former were Fairbanks-, For
aker and Root, while those placed in the
other list were Roosevelt, La Follette,
Folk. Bryan and Tom Johnson. He be
lieves Rocsevelt to be sincere in his dec
GIVEN
his time had expired, the stereopticon
man flashing. "23" on a curtain at the end
of the room.
The room was darkened and a number
of newspaper slides were shown giving
the reasons -assigned by a number of
prominent newspaper men of the city for
the superiority of their own publications.
These statements were a complete sur
prise to the various editors whose names
were taken in vain.
The lights came on and the next course
was served. A live gooserwas : brought
in, by. one of 'the Commercial Club em
ployes and was presented to Ira F.
Powers of the Powers, tFurniture Com
pany, who Iras made -the goose, a- promi
nent feature in his advertising. .
Tom Richardson talked until he was
cut oft' by the "23." He said the Portland
Ad Men's League is the largest organiza
tion of its kind in the world.
Telephones at Tables.
W. J. Tucker of the Home Telephone
Company made a short talk and the
guests immediately got busy using the
instruments of this company, which had
been installed at the tables, allowing the
guests to call up any guest in the banquet
room. A regulation telephone directory
had been placed at each plate, giving
the number of each guest. This feature
proved a great hit.
C. C. Chapman made a short talk,
introducing Mr. Steffens, who spoke
briefly. At this stage of the proceedings
the waiters of the club marched up to
Steward Clark and announced they would
not work because there were several
non-union men in the house. When this
difficulty was adjusted, three uniformed
policemen arrived and arrested Toast
master Hofmann. He was released after
much laughable explanation.
H. M. Cake gave a short talk, com
plimenting the Ieague upon -its great
work and its large membership. Gov
ernor Chamberlain then spoke briefly,
saying that .while one great transcontin
ental railroad entering here has given all
its attention to advertising Seattle and
the other had devoted its time to ex
ploiting San Francisco, the Ad Men's
League had done a great work in build
ing up this state. "The time is not far
distant." declared the Governor, "when
Oregon shall stand as second to no state
in the Union."
George Estes held a mock election and
initiation. Mr. Steffens was chosen king
of the Mazuinas and from a convenient
balcony impersonated a spiritual medium.
He proclaimed the --messages .imparted to
him, from ithe other world by-means of a
megaphone and 'made a number of clever
hits on local people.
The medium was asked ow George
Baker could win Ills race for the Council
and the answer was "invite the admen to
a wine supper and entertain them with
the trick dog. 'King.' "
Tlie medium explained that Council
man Sharkey made a success of his busi
ness because he possessed the ability to
break the city ordinances, although a
City Councilman.
The question was asked "How does
George Iemcke manage to, sell city real
ty?" The answer was "He knows how to
make suckers. bite."
Admen Tell or Work.
L. M. Head, of the Spokane advertising
men's organization, spoke briefly, bring
ing greetings from the Washington or
ganization, as did C. V. White, of Seat
tle. R. M. Hall, president of the Pacific
Coast Advertising Men's league, also
spoke, telling of the work of this organi
zation. Perhaps the greatest hit of the evening
was made by the minstrels who appeared
under the direction of Lincoln Hart as
interlocutor. Prominent citizens of the
city were represented by dummies in the
balcony. The question, "Why does Tom
Richardson always eat pie for his lunch
at the Commercial Club?" met .with the
response, "Because Cake does "not set well
on his stomach."
Rev. J. Whitoomb Broughcr was on
the programme for a song, "Who Put
That Plugged Nickel In the Contribution
Box?"
General Manager Fuller of the Portland
Railway. Light & PowerCo., came in for
his share of the fun when the interlocutor
asked how he measured the capacity of
the streetcars. The answer waft that be
divided it by four, then multiplied it by
eight and added 23.
Mayor Lane was called on for a song,
"The City Council Can Go to H ."
After a number of such jokes. C. .W.
Hudson spoke briefly, and after "Auld
Lang Syne" was sung, the banquet ended.
Those present were:'

laration that he will not run again. "This
third-term talk offends the President.
said Steffens. "He wants the people to
taKe lus word for it that he positively
won't run again. He told me as. much
just a short time ago."
Steffens is very close to the President.
They have been warm personal friends
since Roosevelt was Police Commissioner
of New York and Jacob A. Riis and Stef-
lena were ponce reporters on the Sun
and Evening Post, respectively.
It is not generally known here. I be
lieve that Steffens is a California product
graduating at Berkeley with the class of
89. He then went abroad and studied
at Berlin, Heidelberg and Lelpslc. Two
or three years later he returned to thus
country and got a job as reporter on the
New York Evening Post. It so happened
that the Wall-street man of the Post was
away when the panic of '93 came along
and Steffens got the detail. It was here
that he first came in contact with the
genus grafter and began In a cursory way
to iook into tne shady methods of the
financial soiled dove. This assignment
over he "went on police" and discovered
more things that were not told about in
the Sunday school books nor the daily
papers either, for that matter. Some time
afterward he became city editor of the
Commercial Advertiser, which berth he
left to take charge of McClure's Maga
zine as managing editor. Since 1901 when
he commenced his series of remarkable
articles treating of graft as he has found
it be has held a roving commission to
go where he pleases and do pretty much
as he pleases. J.ast Summer in co
partnership with William Allen White,
Ida N. Tarbell and John S. Phillips he
bought the American Magazine which
they have built up wonderfully.
It is an interesting arrangement, this
association of a quartet of the brightest
writers in the country In the business and
editorial direction of a magazine. While
Mr. Phillips is editor-in-clMef each, of the
four make a, hand, as occasion requires,
at running the American and all of them
contribute regularly to it.
Mr. Steffens' articles have been so wide
ly read that their author's name is fa
miliar to the entire reading public. The
man himself is however, little known the
country over. He has taken so many
cracks at haughry- heads that the "in
terests" and their friends would have you
believe he was almost everything you can
think of excepting a high-minded, schol
arly writing gentleman who believes he
has a mission to perform and is doing his
best to keep faith.
Now that he is in Oregon there - Is
certain to be a lot of guessing, but
should Lincoln Steffens say sacrilegious
things about some of our basswood gods,
our senior wardens and noble grands he
will believe what he says. In some quar
ters be Is assuredly going to become
unpopular, but he's used to that and
doesn't care.r He keeps his eyes on the
game and forgets 'the grandstand.
