VISIT TO IRELAND MARKED Advisors of George V Suggest Tour of Disaffected India Viceroy's Aulo Covered With Wire Net ting to Turn Hostile Missiles. LONDON. Aug. 7. (Special.) Alarm ing reports are In circulation as to the situation in India that Sir Charles Ilardlnge will have to meet on his ar rival In the East. King George may soon elect to face the music in the East In an effort at pacification. There are two distinct types of dis contented natives. One sect'on. Includ ing the more ignorant people. Is alto gether Irreconcilable to the British. The second section, including several native editors and progressives who have had a Western education, have more understanding and sympathy with the British attitude, , but they aim at developing India as rapidly as Japan has progressed In the last 40 years, with a full native participation In In dian Government. Extent of Forest Great. Lord Mlnto. the retiring Viceroy, was made aware a few days ago that the extent of unrest was greater than he supposed. The weather being hot on one of his remoter trips, he had the windows of his automobile opened, only to find them covered with fine-meshed wire netting. His staff were reluctant to tell why this had been done, but under pressure they admitted that so many missiles were flung at official cars In that part of the country that precautions had been taken to preserve the Viceroy from harm. Many local officials have sent their families home to England of late, in case a serious storm breaks. Ireland Visit Real Joy. It has been suggested to King George that he should pay a visit to India in his capacity of Emperor. He and the Oueen have pleasant memories of their tour of the great dependency as Prince and Princess of Wales. Moreover, they noted a much better feeling in Ireland after they visited that distressful isle, and they enjoyed themselves there, though neither Queen Alexandra nor Queen Victoria consid ered an Irish visit a pleasure. It is quite on the cards that the In dian visit may be undertaken to com bat the seditlonlst feeling with the glamor of the royal presence amid magnifcent surroundings. During Lord Curxon'a term as Vice roy the pride of many Indian native Princes -was galled by what they con sidered slights to their dignity. - If King George sets out to treat them as allies instead of vassal chieftains, com petent observers in India are convinced the agitators will be foiled for years tn come, and he himself would not be subjected to so much peril as appears at first sight. JAP SEALER IS CAPTURED Russian Cruiser Takes Poachers Off Cooper Islands. VICTORIA, Aug. 7.

With the closing at 10 o'clock to morrow of entries for play in the Washington state tennis .championship, the drawings will be made and the tournament will open on Tuesday on the courts of the Seattle Tennis Club. It appears tonight that the tourney will not see as many entries as last year. From what can be learned to day Gorrill and Wlckersham. of Port land, and Scbwengers. of Victoria, will not be here. This news is greatly re gretted by those In charge, but the unfortunate arrangements this year of a trio of tennis tournaments all In a bunch is largely responsible for the Inability of several of the Pacific North west players to be present. Joe Tyler, however, will be on hand to defend his title.

No general strike of organized labor in Portland In sympathy with the Teamsters' union will be called. This was decided at a meeting of the executive boards of all trades-unions and the Waterfront Association in the Labor Temple yesterday. The action was at once approved by the - Central Labor Council in special session. Following the adoption of resolutions stating the position of the meeting, a secret resolution was passed prohibiting union men from accepting goods either for themselves or their employers deliv ered by non-union teamsters. This measure must first be accepted by the Individual organizations before it becomes union law. It 'will be acted upon at the meetings this week. It was the decided sense of the meet ing, which was presided over by Will Daly, that the situation growing out of the teamsters strike did not Justify general walkout of union men at this time. Some among the delegates fa vored the strike, but their utterances did not receive much consideration from tbe conservative members. Resolution's Express Attitude. The resolutions expressed the position of the union men with reference to the strike plan to .the employers' associa tion and to the situation as a whole. They read as follows: Owing to the industrial strife now being waged bv and between the Em ployers' Association, the Teamsters' and Machinists' Unions, and as all kinds of wild talk about a general strike, and a lot of unnecessary negotiations with a lot or citizens Alliance gratters, nas resulted in no good being accomplished. and, realizing that some effective and practical system must be adopted by the union men, women and friends In Oregon: be t therefore Kesoived, "mat, nrst, we ao not ravor general striKe. as 11 wouia oenein employers now Involved in strikes, etc, only, and would give them the long- looked for chance to shoulder tneir burden on non-antagonstic and fair employers alike, hoping that they would be forgotten in a general meiee. and thereby save themselves from cer tain ruination now staring mem in the face. Thev a'so consider that in a general strike the state militia would ne as avaiiaoie ana use as ine siriite breaker protectors and corporation tools now furnished . the Employers' Association by our worthy Mayor 'and llles. Secondly, the teamsters ana machinists' strikes were won long ago, Which any sane man can easily ascer. tain bv the slightest investigation. Third, organized labor and Its friends in Oregon are surely not to be lea astray by a few open-shop fanatics that have never in tneir uvea earnea n honest dollar, nor are they worthy of a worklngman s consideration or confidence, and should be eliminated from all negotiations herceforth; be it further Overtures Will Cease. Resolved. That all overtures on the part of organized labor to settle the present strike be neid in aoeyance. ana mat an negotiations with the Banfleld associa tion cease, but that we stand at all times ready to meet an arbitration committee to arbitrate the question at Issue, and that a vigorous and errec tive campaign of retaliation be inaugu rated at once. We recommend, first, that the authorized strikers be paid a reasonable weekly salary irom an assessment of tl per week from all union men: lady members, apprentices, etc., 60 cents. Said money to be paid in oromntlv to the treasurer of the Cen tral Labor Council. A disbursing court shall be created at once, con sisting of one member from each sec tion, and "two from the Central Labor Council. They shall be given au thority to investigate all matters that mav yieem proper In connection with paying of strike benefits, and be re sponsible to their section and their local union 'for their conduct of af fairs; and. finally, be it Resolved, That organized lanor. to a man, will stand by their fellow union ists on strike, and will see to it that no mnion man. woman or child con tributes one red penny to any unfair or open-shop firm or individuals, and will, at the proper time, advise you of a plan that never fails but will effectu- allv put a quieius 10 ravings 01 ine Inner circles of the Destroyers' Asso ciation. 1 Voiers I'rged to Register. We further wish to say to those in terested that, while a few employers, now feeling the effect of their folly. are anxious to see a general strike, the union men of Oregon are too busy to pay any attention to defeated foes that cannot fight in the open. We would recommend all voters register now and that a general strike take place primary election day. September 24. and general election, November 8, lasting just long enough to cast your ballot against every corperatlon tool that presents himself as a candidate for office. Worklngmen, . whether or ganized or unorganized, owe It to themselves, their families snd their country to stand by their fellow men. and don't be fooled by the fakers and loud-mouthed agitators of the De strovers' Association of Oregon. Use your monev ricrht and effectively, and in a short "while you will be asked to attend the funeral of the said De stroyers' Association of Oregon. And. flnnllv. we wish to express our appre ciation of the fearless attitude of the Dallv News in the present controversy, and call upon all our members to stand by their friends and never over look a square deal. 'Sane Element" Prevails. "The sane- element among the dele gates prevailed," said President Daly after the meeting. I feel, and most of the union men feel, that a general strike is not a vehi cle that at this time would give the results we are confident of receiv ing if the situation Is met in some other way. A general strike is nearly always bound to work In. favor of- the employers in a difficulty and against the wage-earners. It removes our chief source of fi nancial support and makes us dependent upon the international bodies. Strike Is Costly. The teamsters are standing firm. Only four men have gone back to work. We have assurances that the employers are dissatisfied with the non-union men they are employing. The strike Is costing them much money. 'While we have not adopted a plan toward settling the strike, we are pre pared to meet any possible situation as it arises. One thing was definitely decided. The unions will make no further overtures to the employers seeking a settlement. We stand ready, however, to meet the employers at any time should they de sire to negotiate with us" For the fourth time our growing business compels us to move, this time to Fourth and Yamhill Sts., Portland, Oregon. The above building will be ready for occupancy very soon. We shall then have more space and the most finely equipped Business College in the West and shall be able to care for more than Eight Hundred students at one time.

In only one district, the Fourth, are the names of more than one Democrat pre sented to the voters of that party. Walter MacArthur and Robert P.

General interest in the Congressional fight centers in the second district, where William Kent,, millionaire and insurgent, is making a hot effort in his campaign to defeat Dnucan Mc Kinley, incumbent, for Republican in dorsement. The district is strongly Republican and It Is believed that nom ination will mean election. MRS. PAUL FRENCH DIES Prominent Matron of The Dalles Passes, After Brief Illness. THE DALLES, Or., Aug. 7.
