16 THE MORNING OREGONTAX, WEDNESDAY. . MAY 8, 1907. DROPS BOMBSHELL AMONG MEMBERS Rabbi Wise Speaks Out in Na tional Peace Association , Meeting. OPPOSES ITS PURPOSES Says He Distrusts Its Motives and Is Suspicious of Its Ends Utter ances of Jewish Leader Cause Commotion in Gathering. 'I distrust the motives of this associa tion and I am suspicious of Its ends. I am a laboring man and maKe my living by days- wages, and I refuse to allow anybody to mediate for me. I wish to make my own conditions. Economically, the plan proposed for this association ia not only Insufficient, but it is inefficient. I am an Individualist, and believe in as serting one's personality and one's rights.-" These almost revolutionary declarations made by Rabbi Jonah Wise at the an nual meeting of the Portland branch of the National Peace Association at the Courthouse last night dropped like a bombshell among the members of the as sociation. The remarks were entirely un expected, and created the greater conster nation because It was supposed the speaker was in perfect accord with the organization and the objects for which it nan been formed. Following Rabbi Wise's sensational at tack "on the peace movement, John F. Shields rose and politely intimated that if the preceding speaker was not in sym pathy With" the movement and did not be lieve' In the principle of mediation, then It was his' privilege to withdraw from the organization P. IT. Scuilfn, who was instrumental in effecting the organization in this city, spoke on "Justice." and for a time it was thought the Incident had been closed, but before Mr. Scullln had finished his re marks he said no man was competent to sit on his own case. In which he was selfishly Interested. He Insisted that ar bitration was necessary to the settling of all industrial disputes. "The work proposed by this peace as sociation," said J. Hennessey Murphy, secretary " of the organization, who fol lowed, "is not that of a meddler in any sense of the term. We advocate a plan of arbitration that is universally recog nized as the proper means for adjusting disputes. No man of good sense can question the motives of the association." "May I have the privilege of speaking on the question for the second time, since both my sense and my sanity have been questioned?" inquired Rabbi Wise, who was brought to his feet by the concluding statement of Mr. Murphy, and then things began to look as Interesting as a "harmonious" Democratic meeting at Drem-'s Hall. The privilege was given Rabbi Wise, who said: "My remarks seem to have been taken unfavorably. I may not have made my self clearly understood. But I wish to say that I am positively opposed to any socialistic Idea. A better condition of the laboring man can be brought about by a revolution of the laborer in his own cir cle; by the betterment of the trades unions and their more honest administra tion. There would have been no shooting in San Francisco tonight if the labor unions of that desolate city had been properly organized and understood how to enforce their demands. The laborer Is en titled to what he asks, but those demands can never be attained through the chari table and weakling mediation that Is pro posed in organization." The heated controversy ended here. Judge A. Ij. Frazer, president of the asso ciation, then detailed the work and the objects of the organization, which, he said, consist entirely of friendly media tion, not dictatorial Interference. At the opening of the meeting tVallis Nash, president of the Board of Trade, spoke of the relation of the business man to trade disputes and their settlement. Rev. J. H. Black and W. E. Pitschke also spoke. Before the annual meeting of the asso slatlon was called to order, the board of directors held a meeting and elected the following executive board: Representing the employers T. B. Wilcox. C. F. Swig-err. Paul Wessinger: labor unions H. C. Gurr, W. E. Pitschke. J. L. Ledwige; general public Rev. J. B. Black, J. Hen essey Murphy, Dr. A. C Smith. A resolution was adopted Indorsing the work of the peace association and invit ing the co-operation of the church and the press to further the work. The election of a board of director, fnr the ensuing year resulted as follows: For tne employers C. W. Hodson. Fletcher Linn, T. B. Wilcox. Paul Wessinger, Wil liam MacMaster. Samuel Connell, W. P.

Jacob Fryberger, the Junk dealer, who was arrested last March charged with receiving stolen goods on one Indictment, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor on another, pleaded guilty to the latter charge before Judge Frazer yester day afternoon, and upon a motion of As sistant District Attorney Adams the first Indictment was dismissed. Fryberger was sentenced to serve three months in the county Jail, an pay a fine of J100. The specific charge against Fryberger was purchasing from three boys, Loyd Bird. Joe Goska. and Joe Christmas. three brass nuts belonging to the O. R. & N. Railway Company. Investigation de veloped the fact that Fryberger had been conducting a sort of school in crime. He not only taught the boys to steal, but bought the stolen goods from them. We Are Portland Agents for Bntterick Patterns.
