"The enthusiasm of the southern part of the state is equal to that of the northern part,' she said, "and the women there, having had the experi ence in the recent 'municipal election in Los Angeles and having sniffed the smoke of battle, as it were, are taking a deep interest in, the Presidential situa tion, f "Taft workers and advisers among the women predominate to a degree that surprised me. They assured me of a mighty support. I feel more con fident of Taft's sweeping victory with every passing day. Scores of friends whom I know were former admirers of Colonel Roosevelt now condemn him as strongly as they once upheld him. "However, we shall not vituperate. TVe shall work for Taft all the time and avoid personalities. We shall sing President Taft's fine qualities and his mighty achievements with such a chor us that the wavering ones who are now hanging back will be swept Into the fold."

That the contract for construe tion of the Roseburg-Coos Bay Railroad had been let and actual work on the line will be commenced within 10 days, Is the substance of a telegram received by the Roseburg Commercial Club to day from J.

Plans have been completed for oper ating a special train from Pittsburg to Portland. It is expected that at lease ISO Pittsburg Klks will Join the excur sion and appear in the parade.

Baltimore and Seattle are scheduled for tho 1914 and the 1915 meetings, respectively. The Elks of Allegheny had planned to join the Pittsburg party, but found that enough of their members would come to Portland to fill a special train of their own.

SITUATION MOST TENSE Without Any Demand for Increase in Wage, AValkout In Grays Kar bor Country Occurs Suddenly. Mill Managers Hopeful. ABERDEEN, Wash.. March 14. (Special.) Two hundred laborers in the Hoquiam lumber mills struck today, and as a result two mills in Hoquiam are closed and it is feared that to morrow the strike will spread to all mills on the harbor. Demonstrations today resulted in the arrest of W. A. Thorn, who was leader of the Industrial Workers of the World at Aberdeen during the trouble two months ago, and in an appeal by Ho quiam authorities to Sheriff Payette to send depuUcs to Hoqu'.am to prevent more serious complications. I. W. XV. Gains Adherents. The situation assumed a graver as pect following a mass meeting at Ho quiam tonight attended by hundreds of strikers and sympathizers. Several radical addresses were made and scores of new members were taken into the Industrial Workers of the World or ganization. A strike committee of eight men was named. It is reported here tonight that the strikers will Invade Aberdeen tomor row and that an effort will be made to induce laboring men in the eight big mills to discontinue work and join the army of unemployed. Apparently backed by the Industrial Workers of the World, who are led by Dr. Herman Titus, of Seattle, the strik ing mlllmen today made alarming dem onstrations at the mills in Hoquiam and the efforts of the authorities to cope with the situation proved fruitless. The strike came suddenly this morn ing without any demand for an increase in wages. Higher Waxes .Not Asked. Dr. Titus, leader of the strikers, and E. O. McGlaufltng, manager of the Northwestern Mill, said tonight that no demand has been made by the strikers for Increased wages. While the Lytle mill, it is reported by company officers, will resume opera tions tomorrow, ten strikers will act as pickets tonight and will surround the mill. A similar number will picket the Northwestern mill. Following the big mass meeting held in tho Finnish Hall this afternoon, fully 200 sympa thizers of the movement marched to the City Tolice Court where tho trial of W. H. Thorn, the Grays Harbor or ganizer of Industrial Workers, of tho World, was tried on the charge of as sault on one of the foremen of the Northwestern mill. Dr. Titus, acted as counsel for the defendant, who was fined ?." and costs. Sympathizers of the strike movement from Seattle, Portland and Tacoma are expected In the city within the next 24 hours to aid tho strikers. Mill Managers Hopeful. The present wages of the laborers who have struck is ?2 and J2.50 a day. Up to the present time there is no ln dcatlon that the skilled laborers will Join the strike. According to a statement made this afternoon by Dr. Titus the Greek em ployes of the mills were responsible for the first step in tho strike movement. Mill managers in both Aberdeen and Hoquiam are of the belief that the situation will be settled within a day or two. They say that work will only be interrupted temporarily. The strikers, on the other hand, seem firm in the beller that every mill "on Grays Harbor will be closed within the next week. Gathering their forces this morning. Dr. Titus and other Industrial Work ers of the World supporters proceeded to the plant of the Northwestern Mill, where they Induced the common labor ers to strike. With augmented num bers the strikers then marched to the Hoquiam Lumber & Shingle Company's plant. Here the strikers ' scaled the picket fence 12 feet high and persuad ed 50 per cent of the men in the yard to join them. At noon the Lytle and Northwestern mills closed. It was while the strikers were at the North western Mill that Thorn was arrested, having attacked J. M. Quinn, foreman of the plant.
