The declaration that tha "closed hop- had "virtually destroyed the competitive manufacturing field In and around San Kranrlsco" ' waa made at a banquet laat n lit lit In the Commercial Club of 200 employer!. The banquet waa held In connection with the meet ing of the Pacific Coaat Employers' Association, who feathered In Portland from the citlea of the Facldo Coaat to "discuss the establishment of tha "open hop." Tnere were delegates present from Fealtie. "Tacoma. Kveretf. San Fran rlaro and Los Angeles. In addition to the large representation of Portland men. The Drat session.

The association will be oriranlied permanently on the basis derided when the committee reports. San Franciscan Icpieta Troubles. rr. J. K. Wetherbee waa toastmaater of the banquet. , William L. Gerstle. president of the Citizens' Alliance of han Francisco, said that the "closed hop" bad killed man u fact urine; In bis city. "There are a few manufacturers In cur city." he said, "who are able to make roods for local consumption, but when it comes to competing with the Fast ard with the cities of the Coast that do not bare the closed shop. It Is out of the question. We are simply out of I:. The only people who are setlinc In our territory are those manufacturers who are working; nnder the rule c? tha 'open shop.' They arj doing well and bare a good business. "I am not an alarmist. I have been classed aa an optimist-by friends -In fan Francisco, and when I say that the manufacturing- Interests of the I iwb are dead. I am not telling- any thing new. for everyone In San Fran cisco knows It Is true. I do not. wish to be called a "knocker. I believe that the truth told here in this manner may do the people of San Francisco aoroe good." W. D. Wheelwright of Portland, dis cussed the labor question In Its appli cation not only to the Pacific Coast bnt to tha Nation at large. Poller Called Dishonest. "However much wa may differ, there ran be no difference of opinion about the monstrous doctrine of the labor unions that a man shall reduce the work that be shall do In those limited hours to an amount below his capacity to perform." said Mr. Wheelwright. -The religious advocates of the claims of the union are fond of quoting from Holy Scriptures The laborer Is worthy of his hire.' That is trne. and by an irresistible logic be who pays the hire Is entitled to the labor that the man can do not three-quarters, or such fraction of it as a hostile and unin telligent association ahall prescribe. . Therefore, the first objection to this policy is that It la dishonest and fraud ulent. And the case Is lust as bad from the practical standpoint; all wealth and all excellence come from sustained ef fort: to relax it at the suggestion of an Indolent disposition means failure: to reduce It deliberately In order that a greater number of laborers may be employed to do a certain piece of work or that a normal force shall take more time In which to do it is an economic crime. San Francisco FacMj Fight. "San Francisco, only Ave years ago tricken by a calamity of unprecedented proportions, rising out of her ashes with, a strength and splendor that exhaust all metaphor, is seized at the throat, aa It were, by the ravening wolf of organized labor, her Industries threatened with paralysis, her buildings with vacancy, her great facilities with useless nesa. ha has demonstrated her right to have the greatest exposition of the century, which promises to be the exposition of all centuries, within her borders and under her control; she is engaged in a struggle for the maintenance of her rights as a self-governing community against forces that would reduce her to Industrial slavery, that would take away her power to carry out her own magnificent plana for the exposition and put her under the bondage of the closed shop. Let us stand shoulder to shoulder with her In this fight. In sym pathy wl'.h her laudable ambitions, in appreciation of ber splendid achieve ments, in absolute loyalty to her, our beloved sister, and the principle for which she stands." Willis Dodd. of San Francisco, said that the purpose of the "open shop" could be attained only by an enlight ened public mind. He believed that If the public were educated to the truth of the situation It would respond promptly and bring relief in the form of satisfactory legislation and protec tion. Politicians Are Blamed. T.p In British Columbia." said F. T. Cope, of Vancouver. B. C."we have the same difficulties as you have here. The politician plays with the labor vote and as a result we have laws which re choking to death the manufactur ing Industry. We have the same Ideas up there aa you have, and when I left one friend told me that he did not care whether Canada wanted to annex the I'nlted States or the TTnlted States should annex Canada." J. V. Peterson, of Seattle, represent ing the Moran Company, a big ship building concern, said. that he was glad t learn -that the manufacturer was willing to take courage and talk out In meeting. J. Bruse Gibson spoke In behalf of KVerett and Bellingham. P. P. N. Little, of Los Angeles, de scribed the situation In his home city. He said he believed that It was neces sary to see that wages were kept up. once a town waa placed on the "open hop" bast. Walter Risk, of Tacoma. aald that the manufacturers and employers of labor In Tacoma were In favor of coast or ganization of employers. The. alms of the proposed organisa tion rest chiefly upon the establishment of an "open shop" In all of the Coast cities, as well as the handling of all labor difficulties. It la proposed to make the organization speak for the manufacturer in the handling of labor question. Sessions are held behind closed doors. George C Mason, vice president of the Hurley-Mason Com pany, called the meeting to order. Those present from outside the city Included: W. Iwls Bell. Fulton- Kn glne Works. Los Angeles; I. P. N.

CAR PKXTEKS KKKP SILENCE Itrqaest for Support to Be Presented to Iabor Council. The Portland branch of the Carpen ters' I'niop held a meeting at Its hall. 40 Grand avenue, last night, but what action.Jf any. waa taken In regard to a general strike Ralph O. Rector, the representative of the union, refused to say. "I do not care to nay what we have done toward precipitating a general strike." he said. "It will be .' time enough " for the public to know about that when the strike comes. "I waa a delegate to the meeting of the Building Trades Council last Mon day night, but I do not care to say what action waa taken then or whether a general strike was discussed. "The reason the union carpenters struck Is because the Employers' Asso ciation Is trying to Institute the nine hour day. We consider it a step back ward and desire the eight-hour day to continue. If a man Is obliged to slave nine hours every day he has little time for his family or for study. We Mon't consider It Just to compel a man to work nine hours, and Intend to prevent It if possible, and also to establish union conditions wherever we can." A meeting of the Central .Labor Council will be held tomorrow night. The request of the. Carpenters' Union for the support of the allied trades In the present strike probably will be pre sented at that time. OAK'S MANAGER GUILTY WOLVERTOX SUSPENDED FOUR DAYS FOR SWEARING.

M'CREDIE SUPPORTS HIM Portland Twlrler Seeka Permission to Play With Beavers Despite Ruling by Baseball Commis sion Rights to Be Tested. BAN FRANCISCO, Aprlf 12. tSpeclal.) Benny Henderson, the PortJand pitch er who has been kept out of organized baseball for the past three years, will take his case to the Federal courts to get justice at the hands of the Na tional Baseball Commission, which in sists on preventing Henderson from earning a livelihood on the diamond. Henderson and Walter McCredle will bold a conference with Attorney Ellas sen, of Oakland. Thursday and plans will be outlined to make a fight to test the authority of a body of men to rule that a man cannot follow his chosen profession. Henderson has been great ly perturbed by the seeming Injustice of the commission in handling the cases of the players who cast their lot with the Ca'ifornla State League the out laws and McCredle Is willing to ex pend money to see If the baseball com mission has the right to prevent a play er from playing the game. "What makea me particularly "sore Is that they are picking on me," ex plained Henderson. "There was Mor larlty and others who were let back and their cases were worse than mine. Morlarlty Jumped his contract in mid season and still he got back In the fold a couple of years ago. I simply did net report and so notified McCredle be fore the 190 season started. It Is true that I had a contract but I did not Jump the team." Walter McCredle hacks up Hender son In his stand. "I think the com mission is making a big mistake in not allowing Benny to play," he said. "A ballplayer's life on the "diamond only averages about eight years and they are depriving this boy of earning a living on the diamond when he is good. The commission does not seem to show any Judgment in this case. Henderson waa with tha Portland club when he went with the outlaws and' I think If any one should object to his coming back it should be the Portland club. I think, however, that he has been suf ficiently punished." GRAHAM DEFENDS HENDERSON Coast League President In Favor of Showing Leniency. SAN vFRANCISCO, April 12. (Spe cial.) Judge Thomas F.
