16 TTTE MORXIXG OEEGOXIAN. FRIDAY, ' JUNE 3, 1910. FORCES ARE 0PP0SIH6STHIKERS Resolutions Favoring Open Shop Passed by Various Commercial Bodies. SCULLIN HERE FOR PEACE Meeting Called fr Tonight to Fix Upon Method of Settling- Differ ences of Teamsters and Em ployers More Join In. Opposing the teamsters in their Strike for an increase of 25 cents a. day, bringing their daily wage to $3, the Draymen's Association, the Port land Chamber of Commerce and the Commercial Club yesterday passed reso lutions favoring an open-shop policy. The strikers say they are determined in their stand and that this action will delay a settlement of the difficulty. The Oregon branch of the United Metal Trades Association late- last night also passed a resolution favoring the open shop, and opposing the teamsters in their strike. A plan to cause a settlement at once of the teamsters' strike was started yesterday by P. II. Scullin, of San Francisco, general secretary of the Na tional Industrial Peace Association. The plan will materialize into action at a meeting called for tonight at the Y. M. C. A. To this prominent business and professional men of the city have been invited, and definite action look ing to an amicable settlement of the differences between the striking team sters and their employers will be taken. Scullin Circulates Petition. Mr. Scullin yesterday began the cir culation of a petition, the signers of which pledge themselves to offer their services as mediators in the controversy to the end that industrial peace may be restored in Portland. Those signing the petition yesterday were Rev. J. If. Black, Rev. Benjamin Young, I.D president of the Ministerial Association; Otto Kleeman, secretary of the local Architectural Club, and H. W. Stone, general secretary of the Y. M. C. A. It is not yet known what steps will be taken towards effecting a settlement. This will be determined upon at the meeting tonight. A local branch of the Industrial Peace Association was organized here three years ago, but has since been inactive, owing to the death of its president. Judge A. I Frazer. This occurred soon after its organization. At that time one strike, that of the Moifldors" Union, was settled through interference of the association. Mr. Scullin was here last May to se cure observation by the ministers of the city of Industrial Peace Sunday in January of each year. A resolution favoring this was adopted by the Min isterial Association. While here Mr. Scullin was taken ill and returned to his home. He came back to Portland one week ago to revive the local branch of the Industrial Peace Asso ciation and being here when the strike was declared, decided to demonstrate the efficacy of the organization. He founded the National association ten years ago and since that time has given ail of his time to furthering its physical scope. Many Strikes Settled Thus. "I have seen dozens of strikes set tled this way," he said last night "The great industrial battles between cap ital and labor are not of interest only to the contending parties. There is a third party, and the harm done is to this party almost as much as to the principals. That is why we feel we have license to offer our services in settling these matters." The striking teamsters made consider able headway yesterday and during the day dozens of recruits were persuaded to Join their ranks. The city was thor oughly picketed and when a non-union driver was seen taking out a wagon he was at once surrounded by the strikers, who usually persuaded him to turn his wagon in. There were few demonstra tions, however, and no violence aside from a few individual fights. The strik ers are apparently trying to win the strike without violence of any kind. Howling Mob Chases Dillon. What came near developing into a riot was started yesterday shortly after noon when Tom Dillon, who had signed with the union only a few days ago. attempted to drive a truck belonging to the East Side Transfer Company from the North ern Pacific freight sheds. The pickets in this vicinity started in pursuit of Dil lon and soon a howling mob of several hundred men were at their heels. As the wagon crossed the Morrison Btreet bridge, hundreds of loafers joined the strikers and the crowd was swelled to at least 700. Sergeant Golta. in com mand of -eight patrolmen, was ordered to the scene of trouble and overtook the crowd at East Second and Belmont streets. When ordered the crowd dis persed without trouble. The teamsters are bitter against Dillon for "betraying" them after they say he agreed to walk out. Chief of Police Cox has given out that no violence or rioting will be per mitted. He held a consultation with the leaders of the strike yesterday and was assured that every effort will be made to restrain the men from any outbreaks. However, it is believed that more or less rioting is bound to occur when the strike assumes more serious proportions. Loafers Make Most Trouble. The police say that the strikers themselves have caused very little trouble and most of the demonstra tions have been made by hoodlums and street loafers who have no interest in the strike and do not even sympathize with the strikers, but represent a class tnat is always anxious to start a dei onstration. It is this element with which the police expect to have the most trouble. The appearance of hundreds of hoodlums and sympathizers with the striking teamsters in the streets of the rorth J-.nd caused the police no little anxiety for several hours last night. Through the vigilance of a spe cial squad under Sergeant Goltz, the Imodiums were restrained from com mining any violence. Attracted bv several street speakers, who often give ten police trouble by their harangues in that section of the city, the mobs thickened, and demonstra tions of violence became imminent sev eral times. The police, however, kept the crowds moving. - Police Watch Xorth End. At the first intimation that trouble was likeily to occur in the North End. Chief Cox sent officers there. Later In the niht the Chief was informed that . the sc mics of last evening may be re MANY peated by strike sympathizers and their followers in the downtown streets today. Fearing the hatred of the striking team eters toward non-union drivers might cause a clash between the two factions today. Chief Cox last night spent much time in laying plans to keep peace. Following is a statement made last night by the officers of the Draymen's Asscoiation: Each Party Claims Advantage. LOS ANGEi.ES, Cal., June 2. Accord ing to the foundry employers, who signed an open-shop pledge yesterday, less than 400 of their 200 employes obeyed the strike order of the Machinists" Unions yesterday. The men claim that more than 600 are out. The Union and Llewelyn Iron Works reported to the Merchants' and Manufacturers' Association that the strike had not interfered with their busi ness in any way. The Union Tool Com pany was the only firm that reported it self short handed. Partial Strike Unexplained. SEATTLE. Wash.. June 2. Thirty union machinists in three shops struck today without notice to their employers. The union men in the larger shops" are still at work. The Machinists' Union refused to explain the partial strike. IS TOPIC PACIFIC LIBRARIANS DISCUSS PROPOSED STATE LAW. Sentiment Is Evenly Divided on Question of Personnel of Projected Board. Seventy-five librarians, attending the second annual convention of the Pacific Northwest Library Association, discussed for two hours last night questions affecting a proposed law creating a State Library Commission. One of the controverted points was whether or not the law should contain a provision making the Governor, and tate Superintendent of Public Instruc tion ex-officio members of the com mission. Another was over a provision requiring the Governor to appoint a member of the State Federation of Women's clubs on the commission, and further requiring that two members be experienced librarians. Sentiment on questions was about equally di vided. State Superintendent of Public In struction J. H. Ackerman favored mak ing the state superintendent an ex- officio member and leaving the ap pointment of the rest to the Governor. William E. Henry, of Washington, took issue with him, saying politics wduld enter into the commission. The dis cussion was abandoned without any of the matters being settled. Yesterday morning's session was taken up with professional questions; an address on "Book Buying" by Miss Helen Grade, of Seattle, and one on Charging Systems" by Miss Charlotte E. Wallace, of Seattle. In the after noon the delegates were taken for a motor car ride over the city streets and county roads. The sessions of the convention will close this morning at 11 o'clock with the election of officers for the ensuing year. Preceding this two section meet ings will be held. The selection of next year's meeting place is left to the executive committee. Victoria, B. C, s a candidate for the honor.

The companies which will march the 200 miles to American Lake include E, F, G, H, I, L and M. These troops will leave the post July 15 and will march about 15 miles a day. It is required that they march not less than 200 miles on the road to American Lake. PERILOUS DRIVE BEGINS Experts Ascend McKenzie River for 3,500,000 Feet of Logs. SPRINGFIELD, Or.. June 2. (Special.) For the purpose of making a dangerous drive of three and a half million feet of logs, a crew of 15 expert drivers has been sent 30 miles up the McKenzie River to make the run down with the Booth-Kelley Lumber Company's drive. This represents the whole Winter's work of several river camps. The timber is very large, some of the sticks being five feet through at the small ends, and as the river already is very low the work will take several weeks. Another crew about June 10 will start the Willamette-River drive from Hylands, 36 miles to the Springfield mill. The mill is now cutting logs brought in by train from AVendling and because of in ability to get enough logs that way the mill is not running under its full ca pacity. INSANE PATIENT ESCAPES Son of C. J. Curtis, of Astoria, " Eludes Parents and Goes Home. ASTORIA, Or., June 2. (Special.) C. J. Curtis and wife left here yesterday morn ing with their son, William C. Curtis, who is suffering from paresis, to put him in a sanitarium. After arriving in Port land the boy escaped, but returned here last night. He was taken to the County Jail by Sheriff Pomeroy this morning. violently insane, to await an examination on the return of his parents. C. J. Curtis, a prominent politician of Astoria and a member of the State Sen ate, reported to the police yesterday that his son, W. C. Curtis, was missing, and asked that a search be made for him. He described his son as being 30 years old. weighing 160 pounds, and wearing a dark brown suit and a derby hat. Robinson to Be Returned. SACRAMENTO. Cal., June 2. The Gov ernor's office today honored a requisition for the return to Portland, Or., of E. R. Robinson, arrested in this city on a charge of passing a forged check for S58 on the cashier of a Portland restaurant. OPENS 45, ,080 SUIT Valuable Tract of 3,000,000 Acres of Oregon Land In volved in Action. SAYS TERMS VIOLATED? Government Contends Parts of Valu able Property Have Been Sold at High Prices Victory Will Mean. Public Opening. (Continued From First Page.) grant but has sold them as it pleased to those willing: to pay the prices asked by the railroad company. It is estimated that of the original 3.800,000 acres con tained in the errant there remain about 3,000,000 acres of unsold lands. The ag ricultural lands bordering- the tracks have been practically sold off. Victory Would Mean Much. The winning of the suit by the Gov ernment would mean the throwing: open to settlement a vast acreage for home stead and timber entry. The brief, which was filed by Mr. Townsend, was prepared by and is signed by B. D. Townsend, but is also signed by George W. Wickersham, At torney General; John H. McCourt, United States Attorney for the district of Oregon, and by Walter H. Evans and Russell Wyatt, assistant United States attorneys. It is a complete state ment of the case, taking up first of all and outlining the general nature of the suit, stating the history of the grant and the suit, then following with a lengthy argument, after which the breaches of conditions restricting the sale of granted lands are taken up. The remedies and jurisdiction is the next point discussed and the thesis ends with a discussion of the effect of the patents, the entry of the statute of limitations into the case and the ques tion of laches and estoppel. The argument first takes the grant Of July 25, 1866, states its provisions, relating to the vesting of the grant, the legal effect of the general terms of the act. The point is made that the designation of the company and fling of assent to the terms of the grant were terms precedent, and points out the difference between the conditions precedent and subsequent. It is on this that the Government makes its strongest point, showing that a writ ten acceptance of the provisions of the grant was made by the Oregon & Cali fornia Railroad Company when it took over the lands. The contention of the defendants is out lined, in which the defendants attempt to show the meaning of Congress to have been to assist in the building of the road and that after the road was built no fur ther interest in the land was intended. Land Mortgaging Unlawful. It is shown in the case that the sales were made in violation of the terms of the gnant and that these unlawful sales dated from the very beginning. The mortgaging of the lands is also shown to have been unlawful. The appropriation of the unsold portion of the grant by the Southern Pacific Company i also at tacked, although the title still remains in the name of the Oregon & California Railroad Company. The effect of these breaches is shown to result in what is practicaly a land mo nopoly, particularly from Eugene to the southern boundary of the state. It is shown that industrial development is con trolled by the rai!rcid company and that the interests of the community have been sacrificed to serve the interests of the syndicate. It is held that this is the very evil Congress wished to avert in putting in a provision in the grant that the land should be sold at a low figure in small parcels. In discussing the remedies and - juris diction of the cose it is shown that the right of forfeiture for breach of a condi tion subsequent can be exercised on be half of the United States only by or un der the authority of Congress, that the United States may exercise its right of forfeiture in the same general manner as a private grantor, that it is not neces sary that the United States should pro ceed by inquest of office as held by the defendans and that a trial by jury, as held by the railroad company, is not nec essary. W. D. Fenton, attorney for the defend ants, received last night a copy of the brier. He said the answer might be fiTed within 60 days and would be prepared by him, William Singer, Jr., and Peter F. Dunne, general attorney for the South ern Pacific Railroad Company. In out lining the position of the railroad com pany, Mr. Fenton said: Road's Contention Made Known. "Our contention is that the pro visions are invalid in that the patent was issued giving the company the property in fee simple and that after the issuance of a patent the United States has no further rights. Every acre of the land involved, except 130, 000 acres, has been patented more than six years prior to the start of the suit and according to the act of March 2, lSy, a patent that old cannot be set aside nor disturbed. A third point is that the grant of July 25, 1866, em bracing most of this land, is not af fected by the act of April 10, 1869, which contains the limitation as to the sale. This is because the title was vested In the prior bill and Congress had no right to impose any conditions. "Our fourth and best point is that Congress evidently intended these sales should be made to settlers to aid in the construction of the road and con templated the land would all be sold so the company would get the money for the road while building it. If the land could not be sold because there were no purchasers, then when the road was completed the promises were no longer effective. It was not a per petual offer that we held out for these lands at $2.50 an acre, but only during the period of actual construction. "A point made by the United States Is that the mere promise on the part of the original railway company that it would try to sell the land as per the grant must hold. There was included no forfeiture clause in this, however. "There is one thing I would like to bring out here. This litigation is be ing made capital of by locators, brok ers, .etc., who are reaping a harvest lo cating and making sales to the gullible people who believe that they can se cure these lands by merely making a tender now. There is an organized bu reau in Portland which is advertising that for a certain sum, $100, or what ever they can get more than that, they will locate a quarter section of rich timber lands on which a tender of $400 must be made, and then the person making the tender will eventually be the owner of a $10,000 timber claim. The effect is readilv discernible." New Cashier Elected. ATHENA, Or., June 2. (Special.) UNCLE SAM 10 At a meeting of the board of directors of the First National Bank of Athena, the resignation of B. B. Richards as cashier was received and Edwin E. Koontz was elected In his place. Mr. Koontz has long been associated with the bank. Mr. Richards gave other business' as a reason for his resigna tion. Mr. Richards does a grain and insurance business, and is City Record er and Justice of the Peace. EMPLOYER PLEADS GUILTY Law Kcgulating Working Hours of Women Is Vindicated. A victory for the law forbidding the employment of women for more than 10 hours in-any one day was won yesterday by State Labor Inspect6r O. P. Hoff, through the entering of a plea of guilty by the Silverfield Company to a charge of violating the law. A fine of $50 was imposed. Complaint was made against S. Silver field, president of the company, last De cember, and it was agreed, the inspector asserts, that the case would be tried on Its merits, but when It came to trial the defendant attacked the indictment. There npon the inspector filed another charge against the company, there having been Infractions, he charged, in the cases of five women on seven separate days, each constituting a separate-offense. It was agreed yesterday that the complaint against the Individual should be with drawn and a plea ef guilty was entered to the other complaint. Few infractions of the 10-hour law have been reported since its validity was sus tained by the Supreme Court of the United States, says Mr. Hoff. It is the practice of the office to give one warning before beginning proceedings, and this usually is effective. MEDF0RD COMING TO FORE Rogue River Valley Products to Be Shown at Portland Club. Products of the Rogue River Valley through 10 counties will be furnished the Chamber of Commerce by the Medford, Or., Commercial Club. M. Mosessohn, assistant secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, returned yesterday from the Southern Oregon city and announced the success of his mission In signing Medford for an exhibit space. "Medford is a wonderful little city," he said. "It is one of the most cosmo politan towns I ever saw. They are building and boosting all the time. Re cently $30,000 was raised for the Crater Lake road- They will come to Portland soon to secure our help in the matter of raising funds. "The Rogue River Valley is becoming the world's greatest pear districts. They have almost quit raising apples. The pears are already sold at $10. SO a box, which is more profitable than apple-raising. They will send a large exhibit to the Chicago dry farming exposition next month. Products from the ranches of Mrs. Potter Palmer and the Czar of Rus sia will be among those sent. "Medford is now paving 11 miles of her streets and in other civic improve ments is forging rapidly to the front." HINTON DEFENSE RESTS Murder Case Will llkcly Go to Jury Some Time Today. CAXYON CITY, Or., June 2. (Special.) That the Hinton murder case will go to the jury tomorrow is practically assured. Ben Hinton is one of the men charged with the death, of Ollie Snyder, slayer of Arthur Green, both sheep and ranchmen back in the hills. The defense put on the stand today several witnesses, 14 in number, to prove Hintons Irresponsibility when under the influence of liquor, and then rested at 3:30 P. M. Among these witnesses, who attempted to show that Hinton could not be blamed for the deed of which he is accused, were his mother, wife and sister. Their testi mony also offered to prove an alibi for their relative. There were no sensational developments today in the trial. The trial of Joe Casaday, a Deputy Sheriff, also charged with having a hand in the death of Snyder, has been set for June 20. The defense, it is said, will -argue for a. change of venue in this case, on Mon day. CHANNEL TWICE CROSSED (Continued From First Page.) pie began gathering nearer the point where Rolls was scheduled to alight and prepared for a demonstration. At exactly 8 o'clock the airship came to rest almost at the spot made famous by the landing of Bleriot, the first man to make the voyage across the channel In the air. Rolls was little affected, seem ingly, by the journey. Distance Record Broken. The distance from Dover to Calais is ' 21 miles, so that the over-water flight of 42 miles without stopping establishes a new record. Captain Rolls said that much of the credit for the flight was due to the biplane, which ran perfectly through out the flight, and did not miss spark ing a single instant. Captain Charles S. Rolls, of the Lon don Second Army Motor Reserve, has successively followed the sports of bicycling, automobiling, ballooning and aeroplaning. On May 27 last he started to make the cross-channel aeroplane flight, but had gone but a few yards when his engine failed, and the at tempt was abandoned. Louis Bleriot and Count de Lesseps have successful ly crossed the channel, starting from the French side, but up to toaAy no -one had made the flight with the start from the English coast.
