CARPENTERS IN
FIGHT FOR UNION
Workers, Aiming Blow at Con
tractors, Strike at Oaks
Auditorium.
"CLOSED TOWN" IS HOPE
Although Management of Park In
sisted on Organized Crew, Mc
Holland Brothers Hired Inde
pendents on Another Job.
Through a walkout of the union car
penters employed In erecting the vast
auditorium at The Oaks, which took
place yesterday at noon, is revealed a
move on the part of the Carpenters'
Union to establish Portland as a union
city, at least as far as that union Is
concerned.
For years, Portland has been an
"open town," to all Intents and purposes,
Contractors all over the city have given
cant atention to the Carpenters' Union,
with the result that all over the city
may be found union men and non-union
carpenters working side by side and
drawing the same wages.
However, a condition has arisen at
The Oaks which the carpenters believe
will give them a chance for a successful
strike and, as a result, a walkout was
ordered yesterday noon. Every union
man droped his saw, plane or hammer
and left the Job.
1'ublic Duty Done.
The strike is not directed against
The Oaks, which at the last meeting of
the building trades council was placed
on the "fair list," after having been
listed as 'unfair' for a number of-years.
The trouble in this' specific instance is
that McHolland Bros., who hold the con
tract for 'the erection of the building,
have some non-union workmen em
ployed on the Arlington Club building,
for which they also have a contract.
At The Oaks, every workman employed
is a union man, as stipulated in the
specifications drawn by John P. Cor
dray, the manager. But because Mc
Holland Bros, have another contract
elsewhere in Portland where non-union
tnen are employed, the union men hold
the contracting firm to be unfair and
the strike order has resulted.
The Oaks Is scheduled to open on
May SO and Manager Cordray is now
building a great auditorium which is
to have a seating capacity of 1500 peo
ple, at a cost of $20,000. This building
was to be finished by May 30, the date
set Tor the opening of the parte. It is
a frame building and while it is to be
handsomely decorated with stucco
work, most of the labor Is being done
by carpenters. The strike threatens to
prevent the opening of the building by
the date scheduled.
Mark Oversliot, Says Cordray.
The tznion has overshot its mark, is
the opinion of Manager Cordray. His
contract with McHolland Bros, stipu
lates expressly that none other than
union labor is to be employed. In a
statement made last night, Mr. Cordray
said that McHolland Bros, had fulfilled
this agreement to the letter and that
he could not well hold them for breach
- of contract if the work was delayed by
the strike. Instead, ne will now o
ahead and prepare to make use of
either Uie large open-air pavilion for
holding the band concerts; the great
dance pavilion where he can seat 2000
people or else erect a huge canvas
auditorium to hold the concerts in.
Should this programme be followed
out. as it doubtless will, the strike will
only result In the throwing out of em
ployment of a large number of carpen
ters. McHolland Bros, declare It to be
Impossible for them to recognize the
union. They point out that in Portland
there Is a Merchants Protective Asso
ciation, with which the building mate
rial dealers are affiliated. The mem
bers of this association, it Is said, will
absolutely refuse to furnish material
to any employer who recognizes the
union and that up to this time, the
unions have been unable to secure a
sound footing In Portland, largely
through the operation of this rule by
the dealers. McHolland Bros, say that
as Manager Cordray has another place
in which to houde his concerts, no ef
fort will be made to do the work until
the union men voluntarily go back to
work on the Job.

NO MOVE FOR PEACE MADE
But Carpenters Have Done Nothing
About General Strike.
R. O- Rector, busness agent of the
Carpenters Union, said la&t ni&ht that
no negotiations had been opened for a
settlement of the strike at the Arling
ton Club building or the new audi
torium at the Oaks, and that nothing
ha been done to call a general strrfte
in the city or implicate other building
trades in a sympathetic strike.
In reply to a question as to a general
strike of the carpenters. Rector said:
'Our scale has been in effect two
years. "We did not ask for concessions
the first of May. It is our custom to
arrange our scale about May 1."
"Will the other trades be involved
In a sympathetic strike where the car
penters are now out?" was asked.
"I think the lathers at the Oaks
walked out with the carpenters. There
were no other union w pleasge mhmra
were no other trades employed."
"Have the carpenters referred their
differences to the Building Trades Al
liance?" "I have nothing to say. We are let
ting the matter rest as it is. So long
as non-union men are not put to work
in place of the union men w eshall not
put anybody on the unfair list."
The carpenters contend that McHol
land Bros., contractors, cut the scale
from $4 to $3.75 on the auditorium,
which, was a specified union job, and
also placed a non-union man at work.
At the Arlington Club three non-union
men were put to work. They remained
at work and four additional non-union
men were put to work yesterday.
Differences between the Electrical
Workers' Union and contractors were
amicably settled yesterday by Father
Murphy, who was chosen arbitrator.
According to the settlement the elec
trical workers are to receive $4 a day
from May 1 and on jobs contracted be
fore that date $3.75 a day.

BMNDEIS STIRS
BALLINGER'S IRE
Secretary Appeals to Commit
tee to Put End to Inso-.
lence of Lawyer.
TAFT LETTER AT ISSUE
Glavis Lawyer Seeks to Show Iresl
dent Iid Xot Weigh Facts When
He Dismissed Agent Trip to
Beverly Is Reviewed.
(Continued From First Pae.)
replied tlie Secretary hotly. "I have said
heretofore that we sent to the President
all the facts and withheld nothing. Gen
tlemen of the committee, I appeal to you
for protection from the insolence of this
man.
Another argument occurred a few mo
ments later when Senator Root objected
to the following question:
"As a lawyer and: a judge, covering
a long period of years, were you not
aware that the question of the truth of
the Glavls charges could not be de
termined where you had the opportunity
of answering him and he, Glavis, had no
opportunity to know if you put in all
the facts?"
Brandeis withdrew the question after
considerable discussion.
Senator Sutherland was the next mem
ber of the committee to protect against
Erandeis methods of cross-examination.
He objected when the attorney asked
the witness if it were not a fact that of
the four pages of the record devoted
to the President's letter exonerating him,
only half dealt with the Glavis charges.
He thought the matter irrelevant, and,
slamming a copy of the record on the
table before- him, declared heatedly that
he did not think the lawyer should waste
any more of the committee's time.
After this Brandeis wanted to know
whether the President's letter did not
contain many inaccuracies.
"I refuse to answer your question.
I will not be put in the attitude of
criticising the President,' replied the
witness.
Brandeis then sought to make the
witness admit certain statements were
based on inaccurate information. He
referred to the President's statement
that Glavis had been superseded by
Sheridan because a lawyer was needed
to handle the Cunningham claims.
Mr. Br-andeis pointed out that the
testimony and letters of Dennett and
Schwartz showed that he was super
seded because he did not want the
cases to go to a hearing without a
field examination. Ballinger said he
did not know what motives prompted
the land office officials in supplant
ing Glavis.
Reading a letter of April 9, 1907, by
ex-Governor Miles C. Moore, of Wash
ington, Brandeis inquired if it was
not a fact that Mr. Ballinger did have
considerable knowledge of the facts
relating- to the Cunningham claims be
fore he personally directed that these
claims should be clear listed.
Hearings Not Held.
"No, it is not a fact replied Ballinger.
I had no further information in rela
tion to the Cunningham claims than I
have stated here. There were no hear
ings in the cases as spoken of in this
letter. No persons appeared before me
or made any .inquiry in December, 1907,
respecting these claims except ex -Governor
Miles C Moore."
Reading also a letter of Commissioner
Dennett conoeming the Cunningham
claims, Brandeis asked the Secretary
whether he then considered the matter
one of importance.
"Nothing like the degree of importance
which you would attempt to give it," re
torted the witness. "At that time," he
continued with rapidly increasing heat,
"there was no hysteria throughout the
country regarding the value of the coal
lands of Alaska being away up in the
billions. There were not at that time
fanciful notions regarding the wonderful
and marvelous value of the mineral
wealth of Alaska which, if distributed
throughout the United States, would be
practically a fortune to every citizen of
this coun try. At the ti me this m atter
came up it was generally considered it
was worth the claims to have to get
them and therefore the matter was not
of that transcendent importance which
you would have it appear. I think you
exaggerate the importance of the mat
ter." Mrs. Hailing er Annoyed.
During the luncheon recess, Mrs.
Humphrey, wif of the Congressman
from Washington, complained to mem
bers of the committee that women sit
ting among the spectators behind Mrs.
Ballinger had indulged in comment ex
ceedingly annoying to the latter. The
committeemen expressed their sym
pathy, but said they could do nothing;
to make women bridle their tongues.
A long croes-exaani nation in respect
to the report of Agent Ivove on which
the clear listing of the Cunningham
claims was based, and upon assignment
of Special Agent H- J. Jones to investi
gate the cases, took place during the
afternoon session.
"Jones' assignment in that case was
not Intended to interfere with Mr.
Love's work In Alaska" said Ballinger,
"nor did he supersede Love, Mr. Jones'
reports were not opposed to the report
of Mr. Love that these claim were en
titled to get a patent."
Calling attention to a letter written
by Mr. Dennett September 1, 1907, re
ferring to the Cunningham claims to
the fraud division of the Land Office,
Mr. Brandeis asked the witness whether
he did not think that the letter ought
to have been sent to the President and
whether the fact it was not sent raised
a question bearing on the case.
"No, except in the mind of & super
Buspi clous person," responded Ballinger
hotly.

Oregon Proprietors Take Seattle
Hostelry Tor Ten Years.
Advices received in Portland yestexday
are to the effect that the Wright-Dickinson
Hotel Company, owners of the Ore

the Hotel Seattle on a 10-year lease.
Messrs. Wright" and Dickinson have been

ating for this hotel, and now that their
mission has proved successful, it is an
nounced that the Seattle will be oper
ated in connection with the Oregon. The
proprietors of the Oregon were residents

the house was obtained. The Seattle was
rebuilt in 1909, at a cost of $400,000, the
furnishings being figured at $125,000 ad

PEOPLE CHAFE AT DELAY
East Side Ask's Quick Action on

That the negotiations for right of

North Kast Side Improvement Associ
ation, as expressed by resolutions
adopted last night. It was the im
pression that the two companies are
delaying the settlement of the right
of way question, and the vacation of
streets unnecessarily, while the whole
city awaits their action.
The right of way committee was in
structed to expedite the negotiations
and s-ettle the right of way question
as soon as possible, so that the erec

Mr. Rumelln was approached a number
of times by prospective buyers. Mr.
Gossage died, the option expired short
ly after his death.
