Resolutions Adopted by Director's
Board Declaring Opposition to
Contention of Unions Are
Explained In Detail.
The resolutions adopted by your
board are in reality a declaration of
an Industrial freedom which must pre
vail in this city if Portland Is to be
come the city she deserves to be," de
clared George E. Hardy, executive sec
retary of the Chamber of Commerce,
yesterday, outlining to the members'
council the stepa that led up to the
resolutions adopted by the directors
with reference to the waterfront strike.
"Industries and shipping must so
forward, and they cannot develop under
the domination of organized labor and
a closed shop rule.
"We believe in organization and
errant the worker the right to sell his
services at the best prices he can get
for them. We grant him the right to
quit his work when the wages and
conditions are no longer acceptable to
him. But we do not grant him the
right to prevent some other man from
taking the place he has vacated by his
own act."
Mr. Hardy's outline of the position
of the board of directors on the open
chop was followed by a series of short
speeches by prominent members of the
Chamber, who emphatically indorsed
the stand taken by the board, and de
clared that the position should have
been taken Just aa nrmly years ago.
Action Held Accessary.
In Mr. Hardy's resume of the board's
action be said:
"The action was necessary, timely
and fully justified under the prevail
ing conditions.
"Facts are facts, and are stubborn
things.
"Portland a hundred miles from the
sea has for years been ambitious to
regain her one-time place as a port of
real importance.
"A number of serious handicaps have
precluded any advance for some years
and. in fact, steadily we have, by com
parison to our principal competitors!
north and south, dropped back.
"Not least among our handicaps has
been the excessive cost of handling
cargo at this port.
"Higher wages were demanded and
obtained here and, by comparison, less
freight per man and per dollar was
handled.
"The wellestabllshed union labor
policy of demanding and securing the
highest wage possible and restricting
output has been in practice on our
waterfront for some years.
Uqual Basis Needed.
"We have for several .years keenly
realized the necessity of being placed
on an equal basis with San Francisco
and Seattle In the matter of waterfront
charges, and really cared little whether
our charges were reduced to meet theirs
or their charges advanced to meet ours.
"At a recent meeting of your board
of directors, at which meeting we heard
the statements of a number of repre
sentatives of organized labor, th bus--ness
agent of one of the local long
shoremen's unions advised us that,
should a settlement in the present
trouble be reached an agreement at
the Coast conference in which our em
ployers are not represented, fixing
rates for the other ports below the
present Portland rates, it was certain
the unions here would not recede and
that our higher rates would be main
tained. Immediately following that
startling and obviously unreasonable
statement It was develored that our
local unions were not so much con
cerned about the advance in wages, but
would Insist upon the closed-shop rules
roing into effect.
"Do you realize what it means? Tour
board did; hence the resolutions and
the determination to have an open
shop city in the future, as we have now
nd have had for some years.
Shipbuilding; tit Danger.
"Let me point out a danger that
confronts one of our new lndtsurles,
which under fair labor conditions would
be of great value to this Pacific North
west. "I ref- to the shipbuilding industry.
"Encouraged by the demand for ship
carpenters, caulkers, etc., wages are
being advanced by the unions.
"Unions or no unions, the old law
of supply and demand would no doubt
operate and advances would be granted.
"But when, for example, the Caulk
ers' Union demands $5 a day and rules
that a worker can do so much work
nd no more, and the employer is there
by forced to pay more than .the same
class of work costs elsewhere, what is
the result?
"Contracts go elsewhere and eventu
ally our yards will be obliged to move
or go out of business.
Fight on Labor Denied.
"We are not fighting labor, but we
are demanding that the laboring man
who does not care to pay tribute to
unions and walking delegates be given
the opportunity to work and support
fiimsen ana lamuy.
"And t the same time, in nnnnilnir
the closed-shop rule we are demanding
that the employer, with his investment.
! be it large or small, be permitted to
conduct his business in accord with
his views and Judgment, havlne in
mind the rights of others, and due re
gard for the laws of nation, state and
municipality, and God knows we have
laws a-plenty, and some to snare."
J. Fred Larson, secretary of the
membership work in the Chamber of
commerce, announced that the stand
taken by the Chamber in the matter
of the waterfront strike had attracted
renewed interest among the business
men of the city, and that many hew
members have been added already as a
result of the feeling generated by the
firm position of the board in this mat-
ter.

WITH a view to bringing home to

to show they are as human as anyone
in private life, the Vitagraph-Lubin-

Four," has published a book called
"Who'a Who in V. U 8. E. Plays." in
which much out-of-the-ordinary infor
matlon about favorite stars Is set forth.
The book presents a most interest
ing array of facts regarding the screen
favorites who appear in "The Big Four"
productions. Many previously unpub
lished details in the lives of these
players are divulged for the first time
in this book.
For instance, in it you will find that

magazines, having been a model for

digger. .
Karle Williams was a phonograph
salesman, when he had to. talk for a
living.
Edna Mayo Is an expert sculptor.
painter, swimmer and rifle shot.
Kathlyn Williams would much rather
play with a wild tiger than with a cat
or a dog.
William Gillette took special courses
in the University of New York, Massa
chusetss Institute of Technology and
Boston University before setting out to
conquer the drama.
George Cooper went Into the

it, because she is too good in drama.
Marguerite Clayton was brought up

welL
Guy Oliver was a cub reporter.
Lewis S. Stone was a soldier, cow
puncher, big-game hunter, sailor and

KaUilyn Williams Weds.
A romance which began over the
footlights in Salt Lake City 10 years
ago between Kathlyn Williams, star
of hundreds of Selig reel life romances,
and Charles F. Eyton, manager of the
Morosco-Pallas studio, Los -Angeles, led
to their marriage at Riverside, Cal.,
two weeks ago.
The romance had its Inception when
Miss Williams .was a member of the
Wlllard Mack stock company in the
Utah city. Mr. Eyton went there to
see a play for Oliver Morosco, and was
greatly attracted by the actress' ability
and beauty. A strong friendship grew
between the two and they became en
gaged. After the wedding day was
set. a lovers' quarrel caused them to
drift apart. More than a year ago they
met in this city, renewed their friend
ship and the trip to Riverside resulted.
Miss Williams is one of the best
known and beloved stars of filmdom,
and has no doubt played In more suc
cessful subjects than any other present-day
photoplay actress. From her
earliest success, "The Adventures of
Kathlyn," which, by the way. was the
first photoplay serial, she has been a
favorite In this country as well as in
all foreign lands where American films
are shown.
Farnum Across Continent.
Not only a cross-country automobile
trip, but one that will start at the
most southwesterly point in the United
States and has a northwesterly point
as its destination, is now - being ar

ular Pallas-Paramount star. With San
Diego, Cal.. as the starting point,
"Dusty" is mapping out a route that
will terminate at Euckaport, Me., his
home town, where he will spend his
Summer vacation.
It Is expected that the popular Pal
lac pictures idol will start on his trans
continental trip, immediately upon con
clusion of his work on his latest pho
toplay vehicle, "The Parson of Pana
mint," now being produced at the Pal
las studios in Los Angeles, which will
be released around the end of June.

bia Theater, was host to 400 of Port
land's Boy Scouts last Saturday after
noon. The youthful soldiers met at
their headquarters, paraded about town
and then filed Into the Columbia to

This drama, which features Willie

firearms within the city, when the de
fendant was convicted in Municipal

Mu was imposed.
Last Friday, because the animal
