Almost 2000 striking workmen from the Mount Vernon Car Works have had undisputed control of the town for 10 days.

Forty workmen were brought here Tuesday from Pittsburg, the officers of the plant thinking their presence would disoourage the strikers, and they would return to work. It had the opposite effect, and before the strikebreakers had finished a day's work, they were warned, to leave town. Strikebreakers Are Beaten. None of the local boarding-houses would provide accommodations for the strike breakers and when they appeared on the streetsafter working hours they were hissed and Jeered and. In some Instances attacked and beaten. They appealed to their employers for protection and were taken Inside the plant and armed guards were placed about the buildings.

It was decided to send the noon out of town, and they were taken to a water tank several blocks from the station and concealed until an eastbound train arrived. They were taken aboard the train just as the strikers approached the carshopa. RAYMOND SEEKS RATE CUT Lumber Shippers Complain Against Differential. RAYMOND, Wash.. April 29. (Special.)

EUSTER Sunnyside Preacher Blames New Church Plans for His Unpopularity. DO JOBBERS OVERCHARGE? Pastor Who Is at Issue With Some of His Parishioners Bays Con tractors Have Been Fighting Him for Years. That the plans Dr. William T. Euster suggested for the building of the new Sunnyside Methodist Church are respon sible for his falling out with the build ing committee of the congregation was his statement last night. The committee and the executive board have sought Dr. Euster's resignation. Dr. Buster did not charge contractors or handlers of building material in the city with having poisoned the minds of members of the committee against him, but he did say that ever since he be gan, 21 years ago, to build churches, the contractors have been fighting him. One reason for this, he said, was that he has told many preachers about to raise the money for church buildings' about the velvet" wnich contractors and jobbers in building materials make in putting them up. In speaking of it last night. he characterized it as "graft." As an instance, he said he could secure for 75 cents a foot opalescent glass which a less experienced preacher might pay J7 or fS a foot for. Cost Too Great, He Says. He remarked that the recently-dedi cated Methodist Church South, which cost $90,000, might have been erected for J30.000, and that Centenary Methodist Church, which he said cost about S6,000 should not have cost much more than J30.000. "The churches are simply being robbed by the contractors," he remarked, "and the preachers and their flocks are so gullible they don't know it." Dr. Euster did not return to Portland from Salem until yesterday afternoon, and when seen last night after the prayer meeting in the new Tabernacle. nasi -weiTtn ana Salmon street?, said: "I am surprised at the impressions abroad, which are certainly erroneous. we nave a tine locality over in Sunny side. We have a good church and good officers and first-class district superin tendent and bishop. It is a strict law of our church that we are not to interfere with any charge after being appointed to another charge. Some Trouble Had. 'I have found some trouble in my vfotI' .-'t. n?.ct ?i vuarfl. and in my Ten Town Lots Each lOOxlOO Feet WOOD 505-506 Henry Bldg church-building experiences, especially since getting out my book on church building called 'The Philosophy of Church-Building.' I have been bothered by firms which are combined for the pur pose of sustaining artificial prices and by contractors and men interested in firms of this order. The new church at Sunny side will certainly go on to completion. The building is all paid for as far as it is built. I understand there is some money still in the bank, and no building will be more beautiful." A. L. Fraley, secretary of the building committee of Sunnyside Church, framed the resolution at the last quarterly con ference asking Dr. Euster to resign. Charges Go to Conference. The discipline requires that charges against pastors must be presented in reg ular form at the annual conference, not the quarterly conference, and that only the bishop or the district superintendent acting in his stead may suspend a pastor after charges are proven. District Super intendent Hollingshead, who presided at the quarterly conference, therefore, re fused to put the resolution to a vote, at which his decision was appealed from, and the resolution was not voted upon. It is said the building committee threat ened to resign unless Dr. Buster .was re moved. Bishop Charles W. Smith is in the East on conference business and will probably return late next month.
