MAYOR ALBEE GIVES ORDERS
TO CHIEF OF POLICE
CLARK.
In the strike at the Oregon
Packing Company's plant, per
mit no person, striker or other,
to use abusive, obscene, vulgar
or threatening language. Permit
no person to block the street or
sidewalk. Permit no rowdyism,
threats or violence of any kind.
Arrest forthwith all violators of
the penal ordinances of the City
of Portland or violators of these
orders.
To get at the bottom of the strike
irouoies at the Ores-on PPHn r
pany plant at East Eighth and Belmont
"lI's. .Mayor Albee yesterday com
menced a thorough Investigation, the
result of which will be decisive action
by the Mayor and police officials In re
gard to the continuation of the picket
ing at the plant and street meetings
In front of the plant.
Brushing all other business aside the
Mayor devoted nearly the entire day
to the taking of testimony from the
girls who are on a strike, girls who
are still at work in the plant, persons
who have information regarding the
actions of the strikers and Socialist
and I. W. W.. agitators who are on the
ground, business men of the East Side
and representatives of the packing com
pany. It developed that the settlement pro
posed by the Industrial Welfare Com
mission and the management of the
plant was not agreeable to the strikers
and that the strike Is still under way
as strong as ever, owing to the fact
that the girls were not consulted or
considered in the settlement. It was
declared that the Socialist party and
I. W. W. -workers are paying the board
and room bills of the striking girls
and that they Intend to stay on the
strike until they are granted a mini
mum -wage of $9 a week for 6lx days'
work of nine hours per day.
Mayor Hears Women.
The first delegation summoned by the
Mayor was that representing the
women who are working at the
plant. It was found that those
who are still at work are satis
fied with the wages and hours and
have no desire to Join In the strike.
It was declared that their objection to
the strike Is that the agitators, who
crowd the streets about the plant, abuse
them and make life miserable for them
when they are going to and from work
and at noon when they sit near the
front door of the plant and eat their
lunches.
It was declared also that abusive and
vulgar language Is used by the agita
tors on the outside. One woman who
Is still working at the factory said she
often has been denounced by the crowds
as a white slave and as a scab.
The Mayor gleaned from the wo
men facts to the effect that the work
ers in the plant have been cursed at
limes and that the swearing has been
heard by children.
Finishing with the workers, the Mayor
took up a hearing of the strikers, who
marched to the City Hall in threes.
There were about 200 In the crowd. In
cluding some men and women who are
not on strike but are conducting the
strike. The Mayor had a stenographer
on hand to take their testimony, and
each was placed under oath by City
Attorney LaRoche.
More Pay la Demanded.
It was declared by the strikers, who
were examined, that they are after
more pay. They insist upon a mini
mum wage of 1.60 for a nine-hour day
and double time for overtime work and
for work on Sundays. Witnesses in
some cases declared that they had
worked hard for the factory and had
received ridiculously low wages.
i Striker Admits Support.
.Several of the women were asked
how they are supporting themselves
during the strike, and said that the
Socialist party is paying their board
and room bills. The money is being
paid by a woman of the party, It was
said.
It was Baid by several of the wit
nesses that no attempt has been made
to insult anyone or to create trouble.
It was said that the strikers have their
own policemen on the ground and
rowdyism Is stopped immediately by
these men. Strong denial was made of
the reports that abusive or Improper
language Is being used by the strikers.
At the conclusion of the bearing
Mayor Albee said that he was going to
enforce the city ordinances. He warned
the strikers against causing trouble at
the scene of the strike, and notified
the Socialist leaders that they must
discontinue the use of abusive lan
guage. Business Men Aslc Action.
At 3:30 o'clock In the afternoon a
delegation of about 30 members of the
East Side Business Men's Club ap
'peared before the Mayor and asked for
definite and decisive action from the
police department to end the meetings
of the strikers and agitators and to
keep them away from the packing
plant.
The delegation urged that the Mayor
Instruct the police to drive away the
crowd in the streets about the plant.
He said that unless this was done the
proposition would be taken up with
Governor West.
Superintendent McPherson, of the
Oregon Packing plant, declared that
the crowd of so-called strikers are not
strikers at all, all but a few of the
number being members of the I. W. W.
He said they are on the ground merely
to stir up trouble and that the girls
who are on a strike are being paid for
their services as strikers. He declared
that the girls struck and that they
demanded more wages. The company,
he said, had granted more wages. "'Now
they are not satisfied." he said. "The
girls who ore on the street as strikers
are getting their board and room bills
raid by the agitators, who are con
ducting the strike merely for the
pleasure of causing trouble. The girls
find this an easy way of making a
living."
Sane Conrse Advocated.
A number of others spoke in favor
of immediate and decisive action by
the police. Others said that care should
be taken, inasmuch as interference is
all that the agitators want. "Interfer
ence with that gang of I. W. W. fol
lowers," said one speaker, "will stir
up a hornet's nest like that which
Played havoc In San Diego recently.
There are thousands of the agitators
who are longing for interference."
Mayor Albee gave his views on the
subject when the other speakers had
finished. "I am Just as anxious to
abate this trouble as anyone present,
but I am limited, in my power. I have
taken up the proposition of police in
terference with the City Attorney and
with the District Attorney and other
lawyers ana I find that I must stay
within the law. I want to be Just and
fair to all concerned and also to en
force the law to the letter. I have in
structed the Chief of Police, Mr. Clark,
who has handled some of the biggest
strikes in the country, to see that the
law is observed in every respect by
the strikers at the packing plant. Any
Infraction of law will result In arrests.
I have told the strikers and others
this. Further than that I have no legal
or moral authority.
Mayor Is Congratulated.
"I have investigated this proposition
as thoroughly as I can and I admit
that things have happened that should
not have been tolerated. They will not
be tolerated in the future. There will
be uniformed policemen on the ground
continuously to see that my orders are
obeyed."
At the close of the meeting several
of those attending congratulated the
Mayor on his stand and said that they
considered it the only wise and fair
stand to take for the protection of the
interests of law and order and good
citizenship in Portland. The Mayor de
clared that he will have representatives
on the ground all of the time and will
keep close tap on what happens.
PACICIXG COXCERX MAY QUIT
Agitators' Annoyance Brings Threat
From Plant's Manager.
Unless the annoyance from the bands
of I. W. W. agitators abou,t the plant
of the Oregon Packing Company on
the East Side Is abated, the managers
of the concern will practically shut
it down Saturday night, operating it
thereafter only on a scale sufficient
to handle material already on hand or
under contract. The chief activity of
the concern will be transferred to the
plant which is in operation now in
Salem.
"Since the beginninsr of the trouble
with the I. W. W. agitators we have
lost about 15000 in fruit srjolled on
our hands because we were unable to
take care of it." said R. D. Mon
tana, manager of the con-man v. vpstpr.
day. "We cannot afford to continue
operations in Portland under such con
dltlons.
"It is not the strike that hn In.
jurea our Business; It is the persecu
tion of our workers by the I. W. W
people who hang around the nlant nil
day long. The girls and women who
come to work lor us are continually
inumiaaiea and insulted by the I. W.
ana many or tnem after
running that gauntlet one day, will
not risk It a second time and do not
return."
O. I McPherson. superintendent of
the plant, said that before the trouble
began there were 300 women employed
in the packing plant. Only about 20
left on the morning of the strike. The
others did not begin to go until the
i. w. w. agitators began to accost and
twuuy mem on tne street as thev
wem w ana irom work. There are
now not more than 150 women and
do men employed in the plant.
The time sheets in the office of
the company show that as a rule the
majority of the women are earning
more than the 1 a day minimum
which was fixed by the commission
after the beginning of the strike. On
the basis of 10 cents an hour for ten
hours a day, most of them era earn
ing, by piece work, nearly twice as
much as they would earn working by
lae nour.
At the entrance of the warehouse
yesterday afternoon 200 boxes of cher
ries, which had spoiled because they
could not be handled, were piling up
waiting to be hauled away to the gar-
page incinerator. Already, according
to the superintendent, five wagon load.
naa been nauiea away that day, to be
destroyed.
"We have tried every means that Is
at our disposal to get rid of the agita
tors wno are interfering with the
work," said the manager, "but ap
parently It cannot be done. If the city
of Portland can offer us no protec
tion against such molestation, we will
simply have to transfer our activity
elsewhere."

Thomas Burke Fortune Passes Into
Hands Who Recently Were
Strangers of Family.
As a reward for being the husband
of Mrs. Mollle Burke Orr during the
last year and a half of her life, Au
gustus B. F. Orr falls heir to an entire
estate valued at approximately $75,000.
Mrs. Orr, who died July 19, left no will
and no children and under the law the
surviving husband takes everything.
He has been appointed administrator
by Probate Judge Cleeton.
Mrs. Orr"s property consisted of two
fifths of the proceeds of the sale of the
Thomas Burke property, at Broadway
and Salmon streets. Dr. A. S. Nichols
purchased this property for $190,000.
Through marriage three-fifths of the
money has now passed into the hands
of those who were strangers to the
Burke family until two years ago. The
other fifth went to Miss Bertha Balzer,
who was to have married Orr, but who
was Jilted by him. Later she married
Henry Burke, a brother of Mollle Burke.
He died Just as they reached London,
England, on their honeymoon trip in
June, 1912. She succeeded to his en
tire estate of between $30,000 and $40,
000. This estate was in the form of a
note secured by a mortgage given as
part consideration In the purchase of
the Thomas Burke property referred to.
In the petition for probate presented
by Orr the value of Mrs. Orr's personal
property is given as $68,300. This prop
erty also Is chiefly a note secured by
mortgage on the Burke property. In ad
dition she owned an undivided Interest in
certain realty In Washington County.
Frank Schlegel, attorney for Orr, states
that her interest there probably is
worth $6000.
Orr and a former wife were divorced
not long before he married Miss Burke.
Later he was engaged to marry Miss
Bertha Balzer. She was a beauty
specialist employed at a department
store and was rooming at the home of
Miss Burke. On the same day that
he married Miss Burke at Oregon City,
Orr took out a license in Multnomah
County to marry Miss Balzer. It was
canceled and some months later Miss
Balzer became the wife of Henry
Burke, brother of Mollle Burke-Orr.
Henry Burke Is known to have been
addicted to intoxicants and drugs. A
post-mortem examination developed
that Mrs. Orr's death was due to alcoholism.
