GOMPERS' STORY OF
PEONAGE SCOUTED
Indiana Manufacturers Scent
Plot to Force Closed
Shop at Gary.
EMPLOYES ARE SATISFIED
Women Named as Aggressors In El
wood Tin Plate Strike Prep
arations Made to Counteract
Governor' Statement.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., March 31.
(Special.) Manufacturers of this and
other cities are preparing1 to counter
act the lachrymose statements made by
the Governor yesterday and by Samuel
Gompers, who was much agitated by
"peonage" conditions at Gary and other
steel industrial centers.
; The manufacturers say that they
will be able to demonstrate that the
whole thing is concocted to break down
the open shop policy of the United
Steel Corporation. Manufacturers said
today that the American Federation of
labor recently declared war upon the
Steel Corporation because it refused
to employ none but non-union men and
the fight against alleged peonage at
Gary and the stories about the abuses
to which the employes of the steel
mills are subjected are a part of the
plan to force the Steel Corporation to
employ union men.
Manager Allen of the Manufacturers'
".Employment (Bureau In this city, said
that there is no doubt that Gompers is
aiming a blow at tlve open shop policy
of the manufacturers and that steps
would be taken by the latter to show the
Governor the real animus of Gompera'
attack. He said that it was not true
that women were assaulted by strike
breakers at the tin plate mill at EH wood,
but on the other ha and women headed
the mobs of strikers that insulted and
attacked the workmen and two of these
women were arrested and fined in the
Justice Court.
Manager Allen said that- no word of
complaint had ever come from the em
ployes at Cary,. and he is satisfied that
there is no Just reason for any investi
gation on the part of the Governor, al
though the steel corporation would no
doubt welcome It.
OREGON LEADING TEXAS

Traveler 30,000 Coming West.
iBEXD, Or., March 31. (Special.) Cen
tral Oregon heats Texas as a land of
real opportunity, declares Or. I. L. Sec
field, of Bend, who has just returned to
the Ieschutes Valley from an extended
tour of the rnuch-advertlsed districts of
Southwestern Texas. Although the
traveler admits that Texas has pome at
tractions to the homeseeker, first among
which being Its cheap lan da, he declares
that in Central Oregon are to be found
1000 acres of government land worth the
having to every one the ettler may en
counter In the southern state.
"I was surprised to learn' said Dr.
Scofleld. "How widespread is the Interest
In Oregon, even In distant Texas and de
spite the pressure that is being brought
to bear upon them to locate there. And
especially is Central Oregon before their
attention, It teem, due to the wide
spread advertising this section of the
fitate la receiving through the present
railroad development, which is being
watched and reported by the press in
every section of the country.' Already
many of these, who hove been uprooted
from New England In the search of
cheap lands and belter homes, not satis
fled entirely with what they find in
'Texas, are planning to investigate this
new country and take up homesteads
under the enlarged 330-a ere act."
Among other things Dr. Scofleld said
the advertising inaugurated by the rail
roads would bring 30,000 land seekers to
the Deschutes Valley this Summer. .

the general executive committees.
The men In the Southwest fields were
ordered out from the union headquar
ters at Pittsburg:, Kan., and. went
quietly, removing their tools upon re
quest of the mine managers. ,,v
. Engineers, firemen and pump men
alone remained at work. It Is said an
effort Is being made by the miners to
Induce these workers to quit. The op
erators, however, profess no fear on
this score.
Both miners and operators predict a
long determined fight in this field. The
operators say that they cannot grant
the increased wages demanded by the
men because the competition from non
union mines and dealers in fuel oil and
gas Is too keen.
For 30 days railroads and other large
consumers of coal have been storing
fuel and no immediate famine is feared.
The union miners in Western Ken
tucky ask an increase of 6 cents a ton.
Both sides .have appointed wage com
mittees and will hold a conference.

ST. PAUL, Minn.,' March 31. (Special.)
Frederick B. Lynch, the later Governor
Johnson's most lntlmae friend in pub
lic life, and secretary of the Northwest
Colonixatlon Company, whose agents are
negotiating for the purchase -of the Laa
ard Fferes grant in Central Oregon, to-day'
declined any information regarding
the deal, saying that the information

standing timber." faid a Great Northern
ofnelal today. "There are probably 4.000,
000,000 feet of the best Oregon fir on;
the land em-braced in the .Willamette
Valley grant. It is marketable only by
raial. I am not on the inside of the deal,
but will not be surprise if it developes
later that the Great Northern will ob
tain right-of-way through the land from
East to West as a subsidy from private'
owners for the Increased value of their
timber holdings."
Mr. Lynch said that the Northwest
Colonization Company tried to purchase
the same tract last year, out negotia
tions were dropped. He said that the
idea f purchasing them was - for added
investment. The -information acquired
then was very valuable.
"The land lies in a ' bow-shaped strip"
six miles wide. and about 75 miles long,
extending from Ontario on the East
ern boundary of Oregon to Prlneville, in
the Deschutes R'.ver Valley in Central
Oregon." he said. "It contains approxi

are timbered. The land has been owned
for many years by the French bankers.

under consideration. He took an option
but allowed it to lapse on the report
of his engineers that the Shaniko-Bend

January for the land to be cut up into
sections for individual sale.
