IB THE MOXIXG OREGOXIAN, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1908. SHIPBUILDERS OF COAST ORGANIZE Preliminary Meeting Is Held in Portland and Officers Are Elected. J, LINDSTROM PRESIDENT Another Meeting Will Be Called Within SO Days to Effect Perma nent ( Association Plans an Equal Wage Schedule. Representatives of a number of Pacific Coast shipbuilding yards met yesterday and effected a preliminary organization of shipbuilders. John Lindstrom, of Aber deen and Eureka, was chosen president of the temporary organization and George Matthews, of Hoquiam, was made secre tary. ThoseN in attendance were: John Lindstrom, of Aberdeen and Eureka; tieorge Matthews, of Hoquiam; George E. Billings, representing the Hall Shipbuild ings Company, of San Francisco; John H. Hubbard, of the same firm with head quarters at Wlnslow; and Theodore Knud son. Joseph Supple and C. Nelson, of Portland. Optin Price, of Coquille. was present by proxy and other builders ex pressed their sympathy with the move ment by letter. The object of the meeting was to effect an organization "of the shipbuilders for the purpose of agreeing on a wage sched ule and the manner of conducting the sev eral yards without interference of work men. The different shipyards along the coast have been operating under difficul ties for a long time. The handling of labor lias been a serious obstacle to the construction of and the finishing vessels at all coast ports. It was with a view of correcting this evil that the meeting was called yesterday. While the meeting of yesterday was only one of temporary organization, the effect will be far reaching. The president was granted authority to call another meeting at any time within 60 days and at any place agreed upon between himself and the secretary. All representatives pres ent ajrreed to attend the meeting and ef fec. a fermanent organization. This rorenii-a," probably will be held about the !-Kid!a of March and the place will be Portland. This city is the most central . end the easiest of access. T.-.i action of the shipbuilders is a nat-i.-al r"sult of the recent actions of the sailing ship owners and the owners of steam schooners. The latter are now having trouble with the marine engineers In San Francisco. A schedule of wages lias been prepared by the owners, who also have fixed the number of licensed men to be carried. "Vessels are tied up where crews reject the scale. In Oak land creek there are now upwards of 60 steamers and a like number of sailing craft without crews, and all Idle. XEW MASCOT ABOUT COMPLETE Lewis River Steamer Will Be Ready for Service Soon. The new steamer Mascot has been launched from Supple's ways and within a few weeks will be placed In commission.

STEALS GOODS IN TRANSIT Arrested In Portland, He Is' Dis charged, but Is Soon Caught With Shoes Taken From Cars In Wasco County Scat. THE DALLES, Or., Feb. 13. (Spe cial.) Frank Ward, a notorious boxcar thief who was arrested here some CITY AS SEEN AT AINSWORTH DOCK :3 -:?' j SAN FRAKCISCO PORTLAND STEAMSHIP COMPANY'S FLEET, "WHICH IS SOW IN PORT. weeks ago while disposing of stolen property, was today found guilty as charged and sentenced to five years In the penitentiary: Another chapter in the war on boxcar "rattlers" by the Harriman lines In this state was written yesterday when Frank Ward, a persistent offender, was sen tenced to five years in the penitentiary for pilfering from O. R. & N. freight cars at The Dalles. This conviction is the result of the crusade being carried on against freight car robbers by the O. R. & N. and Southern Pacific lines In Oregon and will go far toward putting a stop to the practice, for Ward was known as one of the most annoying of fenders. Ward was arrested in Portland a short time ago for offenses of the same char acter, the specific complaint being that he stole three saddles from an O. R. & N. train, throwing them into the brush beside the track in the vicinity of Bonne ville. He was brought to trial, but al though the officers were morally certain he was guilty, evidence was lacking to convict, and he was discharged during the latter part of January. Immediately upon his acquittal Ward started East over the O. R. & N. A watch was set on him, for it was be lieved that he would resume his old practice of pilfering from boxcars, and the officers had not long to wait. At The Dalles Ward fell In with his old gang of boxcar bandits and he was Buspected of having participated In two or three robberies of freight trains,, but theru was no conclusive proof against him. On. January 29, however. Detective Wood, of the O. R. & N caught him at A. M. with a quantity of shoes in his possession that had been taken from an O. R. & N. boxcar at The Dalles. At the time of his arrest Ward was dining on canned corn beef that he had stolen from freight' cars. The)- evidence against Ward was com plete. It was shown during the trial that he had stolen the shoes from a quantity stored in one of the boxcars standing on a siding at The Dalles. Al though he entered a plea of not guilty, he could not explain his having the shoes In his possession. On February 12 Ward decided to change his plefi! to guilty and throw himself on the mercy of the court. His five-year sentence was imposed by the court yes terday. A relentless campaign against boxcar thieves, or "rattlers." is being conducted by the Harriman officials and a special agent has been stationed on each division to watch the property of shippers while In transit and cause the arrest of tramps who make a practice of breaking open freight cars and stealing such portions of the contents as can be disposed of to advantage by the pilferers. Tramps are In the habit of breaking the seals on box cars and searching them for ediblesi Shipments of mixed groceries particular ly are pilfered by the tramps and the edi bles taken form the Ingredients of a "mulligan" stew, cooked usually In an empty kerosene can, when such a kettle can be procured, and the railroad com pany's ties are usually used for fuel. TOURIST RATES XOT SETTLED Transcontinental Passenger Asso ciation Unable to Take Action. John M. Scott, assistant general passen ger agent for the Harriman lines in this territory, returned yesterday from Coro nado, Cal.. where he attended the meet ing of the Transcontinental Passenger As sociation. He said the railroads hold- ing membership In the organization were generally represented at the meeting, but that the matter of Summer tourist rates, which was one of the chief things of im portance to come up, could not be defi nitely settled. This Is due to the fact that the lines in many of the Eastern and some Western states, chiefly thoseH having 2-cent fare laws, have not agreed upon putting the usual Summer tourist rates into effect. Because of this, the association could not act finally on the matter. ' "A special committee was appointed," said Mr. Scott, that will meet in Chi cago and will act on this matter. The association could do nothing' as yet, owing to the lack of uniform action by the rail roads, but I expect this matter will be settled within the next few weeks. "The matter of all convention rates has been placed in the hands of the same committee for the same reason." The railroad men took a side trip into Mexico while away as the guests of the San Diego Chamber of Commerce. INSPECT NORTH BANK ROAD Hill Officials Highly Pleased With New Railway. Hill officials who accompanied President Elliott and his party on an inspection trip over the new Portland & Seattle railroad, "Wednesday morning, returned to the city yesterday. The party left the steamer at Collins Springs and boarded President Elliott's special train, which was In wait ing. The Portland party went as far as Pasco over the new road, where an engine ,.,T saw- 4 and special car were furnished them to run to Wallula.- where they caught the Spokane train bound for Portland. William Harder, general agent for the Great Northern Railway here, is enthu siastic over the new road. The party rode over the completed track for a dis tance of 170 miles. The ' line is In such splendid shape, says Mr. Harder, that the train made 40 miles an hour, which Is con sidered remarkable for a new road. Mr. Harder says rails are laid down the river as far as Stevenson, Wash., and that the track will be completed to "Vancouver, Wash., by the last of February. In all there will be 13 tunnels In the new road between Pasco and Portland, The complete list of the party of HiH officials who made the Inspection trip follows: Howard Elliott, president of Northern Pacific Railway; Francis B.

BY Believes Attempt to Introduce Strictly Commercial Functions Is Commendable. The efforts of the Board of Trade to Introduce strictly commercial functions is meeting with very gratifying success, ac cording to the officials of the organiza tions. Among the letters received yes terday by Secretary Miller Indorsing the new plans is the following communication under date of February 8, frormJames J. Hill, president of the Great Northern: I am glad to learn that the commercial interests of Portland, through its Board of Trade, arc taking an active Interest In the business- of the country. It ia through such organizations and through their efforts in the direction of accurate .information that their supporting business will be kest on right lines. The country at larse Is Just emerging from a panic which occurred at a time when no serious menace threatened any branch of the seneral commerce of the country. Eighteen months or two years aeo the country was on a basis of tremendous business expansion and Inflated values. These values were greatly reduced without any serious difficulty until about May 1 last. Speculative prices were al most driven from the general market. Fi nancial conditions in other countries were halting and in doubt while our own coun try had. on the whole, a greater production of material wealth than ever before. Just at this time a period of distrust and fear arose which ended in hoarding money and reducing the volume of all kinds of trade. We will now have both time aid opportunity to regain- confidence and pick up the threads of trade and in time to re store commerce to normal conditions. Whether this will take a Ion or short time depends upon how the work Is taken up. but we may rely as a fact that a re turn of prosperity will come more quickly and with greater certainty where the foun dations are laid on correct knowledge of the conditions which always govern com mercial relations. 1 Thanking you for your letter. I assure you that I am always ready to do anything that will aid the situation. SHEEP WITHOUT SHEPHERD Exposed to Wolves W hose Gospel Is Their Slaw. ' PORTLAND. Feb. IS. (To the Editor.) Aren't you a little too hard on u? This ques tion la provoked by your editorial of the. 11th Inst., "A Party's Farcical Position." "Shapes of men that hava the souls of geese" we may be we poor, common, rank and flle Republicans. Tet, even geese recog nlre a leader-In a good gander, and It takes more than a bell to make a bell-wether. "Wa, however, have looked In vain for a genuine leader, lo these many years. "Would be leaders we have had, plenty of them; but when the testing time came they failed to exhibit the qualities which only can create leadership. , We are as sheep without a shepherd. Hire ling have taken the shepherd' place multi tudes of them, and we poor sheep have been almost at our wits' end because we knew they were hirelings. But what are we to do? Can't you give as a real shepherd, one worthy of being followed? Surely It Is possible to find one In the great Republican party in the whole State of Oregon. You have scolded ua much of late, and per haps we hava deserved It. We have exhibited a good deal of sheep-like headetrongnees In going after Democratic shepherds In the per sons of Governor, Mayor, Sheriff, etc. But "there's a reason." It has not entirely been because we are bad Republicans or not Re publicans at all, but because we could not quite stomach all the candidates placed before us on the Republican ticket in not a few caaes. This may not account for all our waywardness, but it does for some. The one thing which tha Republican party in Oregon needs today above all others Is tha unifying Influence of true leadership. Given such leadership, determined on following out the higher ideals which are surely taking root here as well as throughout the Nation at large. I cannqt but believe that tha heart of the great mass of Republican voters will respond loyally in full appreciation of the worth of such leadership. Until then we can hope for little else save drifting and grasping at straws. Change REASON" for in o Do not trust too much to your own judg ment in medical matters. Consult your doctor frequently.
