Trouble Is Expected.
Yeeterrtay. the day scheduled for the
materialisation of such labor troubles in
Portland as might have been brewed dur
ing the past three months, passed with
out any happenings to disturb the seren
ity of the city's industrial life.
9o peaceful was the day that it
amounted to a rebuke to those self-appointed
leaders of the unions and those
who were termed "calamity howlers."
Instead of strikes or -walkouts, predicted
some weeks ago. the men continued their
work as if the subject of troubles had
never been discussed.
In the building trades, which were most
discussed during the agitation of the
past three months, operations continued
smoothly. From the most skilled me
chanics down to the humblest and least
Important laborers, all were on their Jobs
throughout the day.
Calm Prevails.
At the Iabor Temple, where the busi
ness offices of the various trades unions
are maintained, the same calm pre
vailed. The very Idea of trouble was
hooted at by no less than half a dozen
labor leaders. That there have been
discussed propositions that might have
resulted in serious injury to building ac
tivities, was not denied. This, however,
was conditionally stated. As one labor
leader put it: "We do not want any
trouble and we are sure the employers
do not. With that condition aa an hy
pothesis, there is no reason why we could
not reach an amicable agreement on all
our differences."
Charges of unfairness on the part of
the Oregon Employers Association were
frequently and vehemently made at labor
headquarters yesterday, where it was de
clared there never has been occasion for
the mueh-talked-of troubles. The em
ployers are charged with circulating this
rumor for ulterior purposes- "They want
to rlace us in a had light before the
public as being agitators." said a union
man. "We are not- All we want and
have asked for is a square deal. We are
always ready to submit any of our dis
putes with the employers to arbitration
and no unfair demands have been made
this year as we see them."
Question Will Be Arbitrated.
In the case of the Journeymen Plumb
ers' Union, which three months ago
gave notice of a demand for an Increase
in wages of 1 per day. the employers
nave onerea an increase or oo cents per
day. The matter will be settled by arbi
tration.
The electrical workers yesterday con
tinued as usual. It is understood there
still remains some difference, which will
be settled today.
Owing to their disorganized condition
the building laborers will not strike, ac
cording to Information from an authori
tative source. In fact, though the matter
has been generally discussed, there has
never been much likelihood of it, bo it
was stated.
In the case of the carpenters, the situa
tion has slightly changed. During the
past three months, the carpenters have
been strengthening the organization.
and until recently had not contemplated
making any demands.
Carpenters Confident.
With the addition of several hundred
new members confidence has been gained
and the carpenters will meet tonight to
discuss again the wage question. In
Portland their scale Is $3.50 per day. In
Spokane, they say. it is $4.50, and in all
other Pacific Coast cities as much. To
increase the scale here to at least $4 per
day is the plan, wnetner a specific de
mand to this effect is made remains to
be seen.
The carpenters Is considered the most
conservative of all the building trades
unions. It is not likely, aay those well
acquainted with the situation, that they
will give any serious trouble. In the
event any demands are made they will
at least be submitted to arbitration or
three months given the employers in
which to answer.
"The situation as we see it is all that
could be wanted," said M. C. Ban field.
president of the Oregon Qnployers' Asso
ciation. "We are not expecting any
trouble whatever.

In Pittsburg a savage lion fondled the
hand that a child thrust into his race.
Danger to a child Is sometimes great
when least regarded. Often it comes
through Colds, Croup, and Whooping
Cough. They slay thousands that Dr.
King's New Discovery could have saved.
"A few doses cured our baby of a very
bad case of Croup," writes Mrs. George
B. Davis, of Flat Rock. N. C. "We al
ways give it to him when he takes cold.
It's a wonderful medicine for babies."

C. N. WONACOTT GOES EAST
Assistant Secretary in. Portland. Will
Visit Principal Y. M. C A.s.
C. X. Wonacott, assistant general sec
retary of the Portland Young Men's
Christian Association, left last night for
a trip through the Bast and Europe. He
wUl visit associations In the largest
Eastern cities and will make a study of
methods employed in their work for the
purpose of securing suggestions that may
be of value here.
The Portland association prides itself
on being one of the most progressive T.
M. C A. organizations in the United
States, and its light to this distinction
is generally recognized. An effort is
made to keep in touch with any new
methods that are adopted elsewhere, and
for this reason frequent visits are ex
changed with other associations and
T. M. C. A. literature is received. In
the past, however, the Portland associa
tion has been one of the most active in
suggesting improvements and innova
tions in its various departments, many of
these suggestions being widely adopted.
At Atlantic City, Mr.- Wonacott will
attend the assembly of Presbyterian
Churches as a delegate from the First
Presbyterian Church of Portland. Dr. W.
H. Foulkes and Dr. Henry Marcotte will
also represent this city. The three will
then travel to Europe together and will
witness the Passion Play at Oberam
mergau.

acquired weaknesses. To reach the seat of stomach

nothing to good as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov
