16 THE MORXING, OREGONIAN. FRIDAY DECE3IBER 29, 1916, HORDES OF I. W. W. SUMMONED HERE Seattle Agitators and Those at Other Coast Cities Are Called to Portland. 50 PICKETS ARE ARRESTED Cnion Curd at Boycotted Cafe Is Ignored and Declaration Made That Restaurants Will Have to Surrender to Demands. Vith the shibboleth of "Organize!" marking' them as comrades, the wan dering bands of I. W. W. have turned -ard Portland, from all other points of the Pacific Coast, ostensibly to aid in the campaign to force local res taurants to yield to their demands and employ only I. W. W. waiters, cooks and diahwashers. The center of the battle is at the restaurant of R. F. Nagle, Second and Burnside atreets, where Police Sergeant Wade and Patrolmen Mallon, Henson and Portwood arrested more than 50 pickets yesterday, charging them with state vagrancy. The men entered the City Jail chanting their "songs of dis content." Union Card Ignored. The trouble at Nagle's arose two weeks ago, when the I. "W. W. de manded that the proprietor consent to the "organization" of his restaurant. Mr. Nagel declined and a number of his employes are said to have walked out. incited by the pickets. The res taurant was closed for eight days, while the proprietor procured a union card of the American Federation of Labor. He displayed this in his win dow yesterday and reopened. The I. W. W. resumed their offensive at once. They contend that they will not rec ognize the American Federation of Iabor credentials and that restaurant men must Join with the I. W. W., accede to their demands or go out of business. As rapidly as the pickets were removed by the police and trun dled away in the patrol wagon others stepped into their places and resumed the boycott of Nagle's business. More Coming, They Say. Leaders of the squad which went to Jail boast that they came to Portland to aid in the subjugation of the res taurants and that hundreds more are on the way. They declared that be tween 250 and 500 more I. W. W. had arrived or would arrive from Seattle within a few hours. As in all previous instances of arrest, the members are men under 30 years of age, many not yet at their majori ties. Their occupations range through all the trades, though most of them say that they are common laborers. The wealthiest of the snared agi tators produced $12.75 when searched by the Jailers. More than 50 per cent were wholly without funds. The mon eyed men of the party, most of them, had less than $1 apiece. Blanket Hipped From Bunk. Bedlam reigned in the cells when the bolts shot to. The prisoners whistled and called and pounded. One began tearing a blanket from the cell bunk. His companions looked on approvingly. Jailer John Morelock commanded him to stop. The answer was a r-i-p-p-p of tearing wool. The jailer Jerked open the corridor door and walked into the crowd of prisoners. The blanket tearer ceased his industry with abrupt ness. To the tune of "Maryland, My Mary land," at least 20 of the prisoners sang strenuously away at "November Nineteenth." which opens, "They've shot Joe Hill, his life has fled, they've filled his manly heart with lead, but his brave spirit hovers near, and bids each fellow worker cheer." Joe Hill, or Joseph Hillstrom, a Bong weaver of the I. 'W. W., was ex ecuted at- Salt Lake City a year ago. on conviction of murder. Many of the prisoners in the City Jail asserted that they "knew him well." Court Releases Five. The Cases of state vagrancy against the I. W. W. prisoners will be heard today in Municipal Court. Five of the band, arrested early yesterday while picketing, were tried and dismissed by Judge Langguth in Municipal Court. They were J. LeBon, Thomas Sodoske, Chester Barr, Jerry Hoover and Ira Phillips. "I wish to object, your honor," shouted Deputy District Attorney Delch, as it beqapie apparent that the defendants musVbe released for lack of evidence, "I say that it's a shame and a disgrace that citizens of Port land cannot walk the streets without being insulted by these ragamuffins. They laugh at this court when you let them go with a lecture!" "You're overwrought, Mr. Deich, you're a sick man," observed Judge Langguth, "and you should not be in court today." "I say if the Kverett affair is re peated here, who will be to blame?" hotly replied Deputy Delch. , Call for A lil Reported. "You're not- to blame in any way," replied Judge Langguth. "I have heard no criticism of you or your office. These men were not particularly . dis orderly, and they have spent the day In Jail." "Do you know that they've sent a telegram to Seattle, since they've been in Jail, asking that all I. W. W. be rushed at once to Portland?" replied the Deputy District Attorney. The court had not heard, and the defend ants denied that they had sent such a message. "Well, it's on file" in the telegraph office, right now," declared Mr. Deich. The men were asked if they would refrain from being disorderly if they were released. All replied that they had never been disorderly. "If your presence before that res taurant or on the picket line causes trouble," warned the court, "and you are again arrested, I shall hold that you have been disorderly and will send you to Jail." The self-admitted sender of the tele gram to Seattle, James Rowan, an or ganizer of the I. W. W., was arrested on a vagrancy charge yesterday by City Detective Tom Swennes, who called him from his spectator's seat in the courtroom. I. W. W. SAY COURT BIASED Another Judge Is Wanted for Trial of Everett Murder Charges. EVERETT. Wash., Dec. 28. Counsel for the 74 Industrial Workers of the World accused of murder in connection with the riot of November 5, in which seven men were killed, did not argue today the demurrer they offered Tues day to the Information charging mur der. Instead, they presented a request for a change of Judge, alleging that Superior Judge Ralph C. Bell, In whose court the case is pending, is prejudiced. Judge Bell held that the request vyas not timely and overruled it, but granted a stay until application for an order for such change can be made to the State Supreme Court. The defense announced that the ap plication would be made tomorrow. MARINE INTELLIGENCE. Steamer Schedule. DUB TO ARRIVE. Name From . F. A. Kllburn San Francisco. ..

NEW FILL APPROVED Dock Board to Order Work on Supple Shipyard Site. OTHER MATTERS HANDLED Track Permit for Tlilrd and Hoyt Streets Is Held Up Pending Move to Arrange Shorter Route for Traffic. On Joseph Supple signing a waiver, as required by the city as a protection against future claims for fills in the event the land might be condemned for dock purposes, the Commission of Pub lic Docks will approve his plans for filling block 10, on the Bast Side, north of the Hawthorne-avenue bridge ap proach, where he intends establishing a shipyard. The matter came before the commis sion yesterday. Commissioner A." H. Averill said he felt as the others, that such industries should be encouraged, and, as City Attorney LaRoche was present, the waiver is to be drawn at once and that formality disposed of. Mr. Supple was also given permission to maintain a temporary shed at the foot of Belmont street. Under which small vessels are repaired, the permit to run .for six months at a nominal rental. The property to be filled, which is south of the Belmont-street yard, is owned by the Spokane, Portland & Se attle Railroad, and is held under lease by Mr. Supple. The Port of Portland has agreed to make the fill when a dredge is available, and the probabil ities are space in front of the Supple dock will be improved and the mate rial pumped to the shipyard site. The matter of granting the Oregon & California Railroad a revocable permit for an electric railway track and switch at Third and Hoyt streets, which had been before the Council, was laid "on the table by the commission pending negotiations for obtaining a roadway through the yard of the Northern Pa cific germinal Company beyond the present foot of Third street. It was pointed out that in order to reach the docks a detour was necessary to Front street, while with Third street extended traffic could, move by a much shorter route. G. B. Hegardt, chief engineer of the commission, directed the attention, of the board to the fact temporary wooden planking on North Front street, in front of Municipal Dock No. 1, had ful filled its usefulness and recommended that 11 be replaced on the west side of the thoroughfare with permanent pavfng. He said the city and the Spo kane. Portland & Seattle Railroad were the only property holders concerned. The stretch Is from the foot of Six teenth street to the 'ower ferry land ing and Belgian blocks are favored for the work. Mr. Hegardt was instructed to take the initiative in the move, at tending to all legal steps and such pre liminaries.

Objections to the proposal to consoli date the State Board of Health and the Oregon Social Hygiene Society were made to Governor Withycombe yester day at a luncheon held at the Cham ber of Commerce.

Warning Given Against Expecting Too Much From Runsla Single-Minded Determination la Demanded. LONDON Dec. 28. The Times' mili tary correspondent today calls for greater British effort in theewar. He mntrnH.4 that although the French are still strong, their reserves are less nu merous than could be wished for. Ilus sia, he adds, will bring new armies into the field in 1917, but their usefulness depends on their being provided with heavy guns, airplanes and mechanical transports, while Russia's poor railway systems and other causes point to the necessity of not exaggerating what Russia can do. Italy, says the corre spondent, cannot easily increase her forces appreciably. After admitting that Great Britain has done a big share in the work at sea and financed and equipped the entente allies, the corre spondent continues: "There are a number of changes to be effected before we can say we are winning the war. Germany met us in the Autumn with 27 new divisions and thereby secured a strategic reserve which enabled her to conduct the cam paign In Roumania without disaster In the west. We must not only counter dispositions of this character In time, hut must be beforehand in the future. The reserves of manhood in the Brit ish Isles and dominions are ample for 30 divisions, to expand munition works and to meet all legitimate demands of the navy, the home defense and air services. Nearly 4,000.000 men of mili tary age are still in civil life. The limit I for age liability is still four years be low the German standard, and no an swet has yet been made to the Ger man auxiliary service act. "What Is needed Is vigor in the gov ernment and a single-minded determi nation to win the war. We have a larger reserve of manhood than Ger many, and the annual contingents of youths in France and England, to gether, are greater than the annual contingents In Germany. It Is no longer possible to think of winning the war by half measures. The new Pre mier should state to the country the measures necessary for victory and stand or fall by them with the cour age we know him to possess."
