on both the unions and Mr. Banneld and

GENERAL WALKOUT IS TALK
Movement, One of Sympathy, Now
on Foot Is Declaration of Meet
ing Attended by Trades of City.
Hold Conference Tonight.
Organized labor in Portland asserts
that it has Deen misrepresented by the
Employers' Association in the existing
teamsters' strike; that innocent business
man have been drawn into the contro
versy and that if necessary to gain arbi
tration between employers and teamsters
the unions now stand ready to assist tha
latter to the extent of calling a general
arika of all labor organizations in the
city.
This phase of the labor situation In
Portland developed at a meeting of the
executive boards of the building trades
unions held Thursday at which discus
sion of the strike situation extended until
a late hour.
11,000 Men Affected.
While conservative counsel prevailed at
the meeting, it is admitted by the leea
radical of the members of this section of
the Portland labor world that the calling
out in Portland of between 11.000 and 12,000
union workmen is within the range of
possibilities.
It was proposed by some that a recom
mendation be made to the central execu
tive committee, which hat charge of the
situation, to call on all local unions to
take a concerted stand for the rtriking
teamsters, but the more conservative ele
ment predominated in the gathering and
resolutions were adopted recommending
'that the whole question be laid before
the public before any general action be
taken. $
In support of the resolution it was
argued that the public and the business
interests are the innocent sufferers in the
event of a general strike and that they
should be given all the facts and the op
portunity to force arbitration of the
teamsters' controversy before a general
walkout is called.
Movement One of Sympathy.
The statement ts given out by the
union leaders that the crisis approach
ing has not been brought about by the
attempt to put the retail mercantile
establishments in the city on an open
shop basts, but that the movement is
one entirely of sympathy with the
teamsters.
Under the terms of the resolution
adopted last night, if it is approved
by the central executive committee, a
full statement of the situation from
the union standpoint will be given to
the press after the meeting tonight.
Saturday will then be given to the em
ploying draymen to consent to arbitra
tion or for the business interests of
the city to force arbitration.
A further meeting of the executive
committee is recommended for Sunday
morning, at which time the situation
will again he discussed. This commit
tee. If at that time it should call a
general strike, has the authority to
summon special meetings of all the
unions of the city within one week
for the purpose of ratifying or reject
ing the recommendation.
, Majority Vote Controls.
It la understood that a majority vote
controls. That is, if a majority of the
unions favors the general strike (he
executive committee may then issue
. the order, -but if a majority rejects the
recommendation the committee has the
authority to declare a division and call
a strike In those unions accepting the
recom mendation.
At the meeting all of the 19 building
trades In Portland were represented.
The executive board in each union Is
composed of the president, secretary
j and treasurer, and it is stated that
only one member of an executive board
was absent.
, The central executive committee.
. which meets tonight, is composed of
live members from the Central Labor
Council and five members from each
of the five sections. The five sections
consist of the building, labor, water
front, printing and metal trades.
The resolution anopted containing
me recommendations made by the
'building trades which will be consid
ered by the meeting tonight follows:
AVhereas. th real merits relative to the
local teamdrivers' strike has been purpose
ly clouded by tYtm amenta of several big
for!iirn corporations, who have a aelftsti
, hut-rest to serve by hoodwinking the inno
' ctrnt business man and itinera 1 public, and,
; Whereas, it in rlRht. fair and Just that
; the Innocent suffers r the business people
and general public should be thoroughly
informed about the real Issue - between the
preat corporations, which ar acting through
an employers' asaocir.tion, so-called, and
organised labor bt"ore the unions take any
concerted action In. support of the striking
leamdrivers, which would materially arCect
the Innocent business Interests and public,
now, therefore, be it
Resolved, by th joint meeting of the
executive hoard of all Building Trades
found I Vnlona, that we hereby request the
central executive committee to state the
true situation concernlns and leading up to
the i resent strike through the daily press,
and be It further
. Resolved, that we request the central
fxecutn committee to take no action nor
request no pcnei al action by local unions
at Its meeting tomorrow tFriday) nlfthi in
support of the tcanul rivers: that action be
def rrred until Sunday. July Si, at which
time wo venust that a meeting be held in
the Labor Tempi.
H. J. Parkison, managing editor of
the Portland labor Press, who is acting
with the central committee, upon the sub
ject said:
J udprmpr f rorn the sentiment expressed at
the joint meeting it is evident that the
unions understand that they have been put
in a false lipht and are determined to have
a fair hearing before they jeopardise th
present proj-i-erlty of the city, n was equal
ly evident that the executn boards propose
to recommend a firm and positive stand by
their unions, if such in necessary, to pr
sre tue teamdriviTs naitut the attack
tf their real but disguised enemies.
Real Merita to Decide fast.
The unions counsel reason, and it is now
up to the business interests to get the facts
relative to t he tnrike and pass upon their
real merits and not further complicate mat
ters by acting upon the request of the big
corporation agents without Investigation. .
Th teamdnvers went on strike only after
Mr. Banth'ld. who. acting for the draymen,
had refused to arbitrate the question of a
V-Vcfnt increase on a wage of $1.50 to $J.T3
for a 10-hour day.
The teamc'rlvers believe they have ben
wronged. Thle is shown by the fact that
all of them, with only four exceptions, have
remaineu out ror almost nine weeks.
The real issue is not the "opeti shop,"
an st a tea t l r. Kan tield. but a question
ui wnemer or noi unions shall exist at all.
i ne iimner combine and the streetcar
company want rtinau and other cheap labor,
including plenty of straphangers, so th
Eastern atock manipulators can have bitf

Organisation of men and women where
these quest lens are discusced has put the
unjust prorite oi these large interests in
jeopardy, hence they are fighting that

businessman is being drawn into the dispute
Seven young women with vocations
ranging from chambermaid to housewife
were taken by the police in a raid made
on the Hull Grill, at First and Main
streets, at 11:30 o'clock Thursday night.
Joseph Postill, a bartender, and David
Harris, a waiter in the place, were also
taken into custody. The entire aggrega
tion was charged with vagrancy. Six of
th ewomen and Harris were remanded to
cells in default of $50 bail. They will be
arraigned In the Municipal Court this
morning.
The raid was made by Patrolmen Ennis.
Flack, Montgomery and Humphries under
the personal supervision of Chief of
Police Cox. It marks the first of a series
of raids to be made on grills and restau
rants where liquors are being purveyed in
violation of the ordinances.
Numerous complaints have been made
concerning the manner in which drinks
were being served without meals in the
Hull Grill. After reconnoltering among the
South End restaurants lust evening Chief
Cox demanded the arrest of all the In
mates of the Main-street establishment,
and issued instructions that a warrant be
eworn out for the arrest of the proprietor
on the charge of selling liquor without

Tar Eastern Diplomats Work While
Others Are on Vacations.
WASHINGTON, July 29. It is a re
markable fact in connection with the
negotiation of the Japanese-Russian
pact executed on July 4 that many such
actions of Japanese have been taken
in the Summer when diplomats of vir
tually all other countries were away
from theirposts on vacation.
It was on August 12. 1905, that the
Anglo-Japanese alliance was effected,
just preceding the Portsmouth treaty.
The Corean Emperor was forced by
Japan to abdicate in July. 1907.
The Franco-Japanese entente was ar
ranged in June, 1907, and the Japanese
Russian convention respecting the
maintenance of the status quo in the
Far East in the following month. Co
rean conventions were arranged in the
Summers of 1908 and 1909, and the an
nexation of Corea will probably be con
summated before this Summer ends.
In August, 1909, Japan went ahead

APOLOGIES GAIN FREEDOM
rrank Kiernan Blocks Postal Em
ploye and Gets In Trouble.
Frank Kiernan. a realty operator with
offices In the Chamber of Commerce
building and who has become known be
cause of his opposition toward the
Broadway bridge, was taken to police
headquarters Thursday night whpn he
permitted his automobile to block the ap
proach of a mounted mail collector to a
mailbox at the curb near the Third-street
entrance of the Chamber of Commerce.
William A. Widmer, a mail collector,
essayed to reach the mailbox but was
unable to drive his vehicle within several
feet of the box because of the presence
or Kiernan s auto.
At the police station Kiernan was nro-
fuse in his explanations and apologies to
i-once laptain lianey. As a result h
was permtted his freedom with the un
derstanding that the matter be taken up
with Postmaster Merrick for adjustment
today.
It is probable that Kiernan will be ar
rested and subjected to a fine under the
postal regulations for blockading postal
employes.
20,000 WALRUS ARE SEEN
Herd Covers Acres of Water and
Vessel Has to Turn Aside.
SEATTLE. Wash., July 29. The
gasoline trading schooner Helen
Jonnston, owned and navierated bv
Louis Lane, son of Charles 13. Lane, the
California millionaire, on July 5 en
countered a herd of 20,000 walrus
swimming in the sea near the Dlomedo
Islands in Bering straits. The animals
covered an area of several acres of
wuter. and the schooner, after trying
to sail through the herd, drew to one
side.
Fortunately a photographer was o:
the Johnston, and the incident will b
recorded scientifically. This is said to
be the largest herd ever seen, nnrt
seems to discredit reports of the im
pending extinction of the walru
through hunting for Its ivory tusks.

MUCH DISCRETION GIVEN
Cabinet Member, Now. in Portland
on Tour of Investigation, Has
Taken Personal Charge of
Forestry Affairs.
Secretary of Agriculture TVilson ar
rived In Portland last night on his an
nual tour of Inspection. Mr. Wilson
is devoting his entire attention to the
Xational forests, with a view of mak
ing the acquirement of homes easier
for the settler. He would not discuss
politics when seen at the Hotel Port
land. "I 'think the Republican situation is
all right everywhere," said the head
of the farmer's department, "and the
Administration is not mixing with the
affarrs of any state."
Mr. Wilson made the important an
nouncement that he had personally
taken charge of the administration of
Forest Service affairs. Recent changes
in management made that step neces
sary, he said.
"We are trying to avoid setting men
up in the timber business, but where
the soil of any tract is good and the
land does not carry more than 4000
feet of timber to" the acre, we are
willing to let the settler have It under
the act of June 11, 1906," he declared.
Personal Information Wanted.
"I am in the West to secure per
sonal information along the lines of
settlement on the lands now in the
National forests. I want the people
and ' the forest officers to secure a
clear understanding of the law which
permits such settlement.
"The last time 1 was here I con
cluded that the offices of the service
should be .placed nearer to the forests
which were to be administered. That
has been done and Portland is the lo
cation of the headquarters for the
Northwest district.
"We also became satisfied that the
original lines of the reserves had been
hastily drawn, that there was much
land to be excluded which was not
properly timber land and at the same
time a considerable portion which
might be included with propriety. Five
to six million acres of land will be
eliminated this Summer, as fast rs the
maps can be prepared and the procla
mations prepared for the signature of
the President. t
"The 'June 11' act, as it is known,
provides that land which is more val
uable for agricultural purposes than
for timber may be entered for home
stead purposes. That leaves a good
deal of discretion in the minds of the
forest officers as to what land may
be recommended by them.
Settler Xeeds Some Timber.
"My Interpretation is that where the
soil is good and is not too heavily
covered with timber we should let
. the settler have it. He must have
enough timber anyway to start up his
business, and it doesn't "make much
difference whether he gets it off his
homestead or under- free-use permit.
We try to avoid letting people have
such heavy tracts of timber-that they
can sell it to lumbermen.
"If we did not place some limit on
the settler, though, many of them
would become advance agents for the
timber speculator. I find that the
agents for the timoermen usually
know in advance what men are going
to receive patents, and many settlers
sell out to them if their land contains
enough timber to make the sale worth
while. In those cases the timber is
cut off and the country never gets
another settler to take the place of
that man.
"By establishing a maximum timber
limit of, say, 4000 feet to the acre, we
let the settler become the Judge of
whether he can make a home on the
land. They can have it in this coun
try. Of course, in other states a dif
ferent rule will have to be applied to
fit conditions."
Secretary Advises Farmers.
Asked what he had to sav to the
farmers, Mr. Wilson replied that what
the farmer should produce here is
w-hat the people need and then more
of it.
"The common people of the United
States can't get fruit because of the
high prices, while the people of Eu
rope never see it," replied the Secre
tary. "You couldn't imagine a farmer
of Europe paying 10 cents for a We
natehae or Hood River apple.
"Raise fruit out here and lots of It
Raise poultry and dairy products, and
more of thejn. Great yields mean mod
erate prices, perhaps, but that means
Just as much money in the bank for
the farmer and more variety to the
poor man."
Mr. Wilson will be in the vicinity of
Portland until Monday morning, and
may be prevailed upon to remain for
the Ballinger luncheon and reception

standing for the interests of the West

CHICAGO, July 29. The Coroner's
Jury empaneled to inquire into the
