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.
Olds. R. ' D. Inmari, and C. F. Swlgert;
labor unions W. E.' Pitschke. J. A. Led
wige, R. A. Harris. W. H. Fitzgerald. P.
McDonald. Harry C. Gurr, P. H. Kelly,
C. H. Gram. W. McKenale: general public
S. H. Gruher. Rabbi Jonah B. Wise.
Rev. James H. Black. Dr. A. C. Smith,
Rev. E. a Muckley. J. Henessev Mur-
pny, j. h. Laber, and E. C. Giltner.
T. G. Haitey. ex-Justice of the Supreme
Court, was elected a member of the board
of directors and legal counselor for the
association.

CO.VPER TO AVOID STR1KK
Jronmoldcrs Will Meet Industrial
Peace Association Committee.
Through the offices of the local branch
of the National Industrial Peace Associa
tion a conference may be arranged be
tween the lronmolders and the employers
so that a strike of these workmen in
Portland may be avoided. The executive
committee of the lronmolders- Union has
advised Wallis Nash, president of the
Board of Conciliation and Arbitration,
representing the Association, that the
molders are willing to confer with their
employers regarding the demand for an
eight-hour day, which has been asked.
The letter -agreeing to the conference,
which is signed by H. W. Drew, presi
dent; Frank M. Meyer. Joe Raymond, Otto
Shell and J. Casey, members of the execu
tive committee, was received by Mr.
Nash yesterday.
Modern Fagtn Is Sentenced.
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.
