THE MORNING OREGONIAK, SATURDAY, DECE3IBER 30, 1910. 13 STRIKE BEGINS IN LOCAL STEEL PLANT Company Refuses to Confer With Union Heads and 31 5 Walk Out. CLOSED SHOP HELD ISSUE Walkout Is Precipitated When Un completed Boilers Are Shipped to Seattle to Avoid Delay on , Crart Building There. ' Continued From First Page.) A. O. Andersen & Co. a total of 44 1so a number of dlgestors for paper mill plants. Boilers for January Delivery. The Skinner & Eddy boilers were for January delivery. In view of the fact the Metal Trades Council had presented the form of an agreement more than two weeks ago covering wages and working conditions, as well as recogni tion of the unions. It being understood that a strike would be called January 1 unless an answer was received, or efforts" made toward arbitration, the company moved to get the boilers out of the way before any chance of delay hi their completion. "It was our duty to permit our cus tomers to accept the boilers in their present state of completion, and finish them at Seattle, in order that they be ready when needed." said Mr. Ball last night. "We fixed a price for them un finished, which was accepted, so their shipment was ordered." Asked an to what steps would be taken to cohtlnue operations, Mr. Ball Ba :d : "All of our men have not gone out, and we will go ahead and reorganize the force. A start will be made at once. Men are always available, and If there are any to be gotten on the Coast we will have them. It Is past the ne gotiation stage and every other stage. Committee's Request Refused. "I was at the Northwest Steel Com pany's plant when this matter came up, and was called there on the tele phone and told that a committee from our bollermakers had walked Into the shop superintendent's office, and I was told over the telephone that they wanted to know If I would meet with ft committee from the Metal Trades Council, which I refused to do, but said I would meet representatives of our own shopmen." Officers of the. Metal Trades Council assert that their organizations have been thoroughly perfected since the movement was Inaugurated several weeks ago, and that embraced In the affiliations are the machinists, boiler makers, pattern-makers, molders. elec trical workers, sheetraetal workers, steam fitters and shipwrights, so the entire shipbuilding Industry Is repre sented. It Is denied by the organization heads that the main Issue Is open or closed shop, but that working hours and wage scales are concerned In their ef forts to reach an understanding with the employers. Closed Shop Held Issue. On the other hand, the employers say closed snop is what the unions seek, and, while they point to the fact union men have been employed In the past without discrimination and that they have no fault to find with them, they are firm In their declaration that the privilege Is theirs to employ any non union worker capable of turning out the class of work demanded. Should the strike spread Immediately It Is expected the Northwest Steel Com pany would be affected, there being a large force employed at the yard on three steel hulls of eight steamers contracted for. Adjoining that company on the south Is the plant ofthe Columbia River Shipbuilding Corporation, backed by the Smith & Watson Iron Works, where six steamers are contracted for and the ork of laying out the yard is well under way. Then there are six ves sels to be built at the Alblna Engine & Machine Works, the yard of which is situated on the East Side, between the upper and lower ferry landings, and Is In course of construction. Concern is expressed in business cir cles over the trouble, as the shipbuild ing industry was revived only several months ago. and a tleup would spread to many smaller plants, where sub contracts are being turned out for auxiliary machinery and equipment. PROTECTION ASKED OF MAYOR Precautions In Strike Situation Urged by Business Men. Prompt action looking toward the preservation of the peace during the strike in the shipbuilding plants, which was begun yesterday, were taken yes ti rday by the Chamber of Commerce and by representative citizens and of licers of prominent clubs of ithe city. "The Chamber of Commerce In de claring for the open shop did not de clare against any class of labor," says the statement Issued by the board of erectors of the Chamber of Commerce last night. "On the contrary Its posi tion is for all labor. "The report has been circulated that the Chamber has been advocating the non-employment of union labor. "This Is not true. "In all of Its declarations the Cham ber has not asked Its members to de cline to employ any kind of labor that Is efficient. The only thing It stands for Is the right of the employer to select any labor that desires to work and is of efficiency that merits em ployment. "In calling upon the Mayor and local authorities the Chamber was moved by one motive only to preserve law and order and guarantee any laborer desiring to work the right to do so, "The board of directors believes that without interference from any source. In no other way can the full liberty of employment be secured, and believes that no community can progress In a proper manner unless it is in a position to guarantee this liberty. "The business men of this community stand for law and order, and they in tend to insist upon the maintenance of law and order, and the protection of the right of all labor to work when ever it wishes, without intimidation, threat or violence." The Mayor was waited upon at S o'clock yesterday afternoon by a com mittee of representative business men, w ho urged that immediate precautions be taken for the protection of the men who desire to continue in their em ployment! in the shipbuilding plant, so that the strike may not interfere with their right to work. It was brought out by B. C. Ball, of the Willamette Eteel & Iron Works, that these men are not Imported strikebreakers, but the company's own employes, who declined to walk out when the strike was called and who desire to continue In employ ment. A meeting of the members of the Progressive Business Men's Club com mlttee, the Ad Club committee that had been appointed to investigate the strike, and representatives unofficially ttt the Rotary Club, were present at the meeting- at the Chamber of Commerce yesterday, after wrlch they went In a body to the Mayor's office to urge pro tection for the laborers. The Progressive Business Men's Club committee was empowered to act offi cially In this delegation to the Mayor's office, but Inasmuch as no committee has been appointed by the Rotary Club and the Ad Club committee has been uninstructed as to the matter which arose with the calling of the strike, their members went before the Mayor in unofficial capacity, as private citi zens. Those in the party waiting on the Mayor were O. M. Clark, C. C. Chap man, N. O. Pike. C. T. Cochran, W. D. Whltcomb. Percy AJett, and the fol lowing Progressive Business Men's committee. J. P. Jaeger, P. T. Richards. J. R. Tomllnson and C. H. Farrlngton. CXION'S DEFINE DEMANDS Agreement Like San Francisco's and Seattle's Wanted, They Say. In their efforts to have the same agreement signed by Portland firms as they say Is in force at San Francisco and Seattle, men concerned In the strike at the Willamette Iron and Steel Works take the stand that a closed shop Is not Insisted on. The agree ment provides, they aver, that the em ployer is privileged to hire men not belonging to the organizations, but the unions reserve the privilege of asking them to Join a union. As to the probability of men being retained to replace those who are out, the leaders say a strike of four weeks' duration at the Independent foundry has not resulted In a full force being employed, and that men are not avail able to fill the places of those leaving the Willamette plant. Arthur Burns, of the molders' union. Is president of the Metal Trades' Coun cil, and Joseph Reed, of the oiler makers', is vice-president of the Coun cil and chairman of the executive board. They are said to have been delegated with full power to act lu the present situation and to Issue state ments bearing on their side of the controversy. Men who left the Willamette works yesterday met at 2 o'clock In the afternoon at the Labor Temple and dis cussed the matter In detail and. while meetings were convened last night. It was said they were only among In dividual organizations represented In the Metal Trades' Council. It Is generally admitted that no ac tion would have been taken yesterday but for the shipment of partly finished boilers to Seattle, which were loaded on cars in front of the plant, the unlonmen feeling that it was a move in advance of a positive refusal to treat with the organizations. Besides, it is recited, efforts were being made to dissuade men from continuing In the unions. As to other plants that were sent copies of the agreement, they have not made moves of the kind, and that notlme has been fixed for calling a strike there. As to a statement that before a strike was called at the Northwest Steel plant a conference would be held with J. R. Bowles on his return from the East, It Is pointed out that he might be held there on business for months and no settlement reached meanwhile. In the Willamette Iron & Steel Works, the Northwest Steel Company and Smith & Watson Iron Works it is estimated 1400 men were-employed, and of 400 men estimated by the unions as at the Willamette, they say more than 90 per cent are out. EIGHT SHIPS AFFECTED HERE Two Per Cent of Industry in Amer ica Involved by Strike. The report of the bureau of naviga tion of the department of commerce. Is sued this week from the office of the bureau of foreign and domestic com merce at the Chamber of Commerce, contained information as to the status of the steel shipbuilding Industry in Portland, to which the employers In the industry point as Indicating the Importance of minimizing. If possible, the effects of the labor disturbances which precipitated the opening strike yesterday. The report bears on the shipbuilding industry of the country at large, but the status of the business In Portland was clearly deduced from It by the em ployers engaged In the steel shipbuild ing here. The report showed that steel ships under contract In American shipyards December 1, 1915, numbered 202 and represented gross tonnage of 761,511. On December 1, 1916, the number of ships was 400, with gross tonnage of 1,428.003. showing the industry has nractlcally doubled. Of the 400 now under contract 74 are beintr built or will be built In Port land, Seattle. San Francisco and Oak land representing tonnage of 443.538 or almost 57 per cent of the total ton nage under contract in the entire United States the preceding year. Now the ship building on the coast repre sents more than 2( per cent construction or 30.1 per cent tonnage. The distribution is lows: of the of the as fol- Gross tons. 175. 02S 3.V600 177.310 45.600 No. of City ships. Pan Francisco ............ Oakland 7 Seattle ' Portland 8 Totals 74 483.538 Portland's share under the figures available Is 2 per cent of the entire construction In the country and 3.1 per cent of the tonnage. -The amount or the present Portland contracts Is ap proximately $21,000,000. or more than four times the total building permits in Portland for 1916 and equal to the ban ner year In Portland, 1910. The report calls attention to the fact that the shipbuilding Industry was Just getting under way In Portland when the labor disputes were precipitated. 'MYSTIC DRUG' BLAMED ALLEGED SOCIETY BURGLAR DICATES HIS DEFENSE. IN- Wife, Who Is Daughter of Wealthy Family, Said to Have Won In Battle Against Kvll Influences. LOS ANGELES. Dec 29. (Special.) A story of how love was victorious in a battle between denizens of the night life and a beautiful wife was promised today when Jack L. Baur dleun, alleged society burglar and forger, was held for trial in the Su perior Court on two charges, after a preliminary hearing before Justice Forbes. In the course of the court proceed ings it was alleged that Baurdieun was a victim of a mystic drug of sub tle power, administered by a stranger whom he had met on his night strolls. It was this drug and the influence of the man which plunged Baurdieun Into a career of crime and lured him mo mentarily from his wife, the defense contended. Baurdieun's attorney said they would endeavor to prove that, though almost brokenhearted, the wife struggled with the unseen power and won her hus band back and restored his mental power. Mrs. Baurdieun Is the daughter of a wealthy Oakland family and a young society woman. John S. Bibber, 75. of New Bedford. Mass., until the last election never voted In a presidential election.

BALL AGREES READILY Only Contention Declared to Be for Open Shop and It Is Xot Intention to Bring In Strike breakers to Fill Places. At a conference yesterday between Mayor Albee and representatives of various business and civic organizations regarding the strike at the Willamette Iron & Steel Company shipbuilding plant the Mayor assured the commit tee that everything Would be done by the police to prevent violence during the strike. President Bert Ball, of the company assured the Mayor that his company would co-operate in prevent ing violence in any form. Mayor Albee said that uniformed po licemen would be assigned to the plant to act In an Impartial manner In pro tecting property and lives. He made a request that the company employ no armed guards, but that the maintenance of peace and order be left to uniformed policemen. If the present force Is un able to cope with the situation the force will be Increased, the Mayor told the committee. He says he believes the Council will back him up In that. Armed Kuardn Disliked. "I will say," said Mayor Albee, "that we will do all In our power to keep peace and order curing the strike at this plant and others if other strikes occur. I would request that you do not put any armed guards at the scene be cause these were the source of a great part of the trouble that occurred during the strike of longshoremen." "We propose to engage no guards of this sort," assured Mr. Ball. "We will have watchmen at the plant to prevent any destruction of property, but we are willing to leave the rest to uniformed policemen. We will co-operate In every way to prevent violence. It is not our plan to import strikebreakers, but to try to Induce our men to come back to work. "The question Is purely one of the open and closed shop. We have ex pressed a willingness to arbitrate any questions of wages or hours and are willing to turn our books over to any committee of citizens and stand by their decision." Ample Protection Ursed. O. M. Clark, representing the Cham ber of Commerce, said that all the com mittee wanted from the Mayor was as surance that ample police protection would be given to prevent violence. "Good protection at the beginning," said he, "prevents violence. Lack of protection encourages violence and vio lence leads to more violence, often dis astrous." The committee represented at the conference comprised O. M. Clark and W. D. B. Dodson. of the Chamber of Commerce; J. p. Jaeger. F. T. Richards, J. R. Tomllnson and C. H. Ferrlngton, of the Progressive Business Men's Club; W. D.. Whltcomb and C. C. Chapman, of the Ad Club; N. G. Pike and C. T. Cochran, of the Rotary Club.

DREDGE MAY QUIT, TOO Thin Ice Reported at Mouth or Willamette and Steamers Have Difficulty In Making Land ings at Some Points. Ice forming in the Columbia River has tied up steamers in service bet-ween Portland and The Dalles. The situation is not serious but the danger of greater trouble during the next day or two has prompted transportation heads to act. The Regulator line definitely an nounced a few days ago that its serv ice would be discontinued January 1, but repot ts Wednesday that Ice was forming above The Dalles resulted In orders being given for the steamer State of Washington to be tied up on her return yesterday, which was done. On the heels of that move notice was given yesterday by the Peoples' Trans portation Company that the steamer Tahoma would bo held here pending developments. Major Jewett, Corps of Engineers, U. S. A, was Informed yesterday by the captain of the pipeline dredge Wahkia kum that Ice was forming at St. Hel ens, near where she is working, and that the probabilities were the digger would have to tie up. Captain McCully. of the steamer Lur llne, of the Harklns line, 'said on his arrival from Astoria yesterday morning that there was Ice near Henrlci's, but not enough to hamper the handling of the vessel. Slush Ice was said to be running at Vancouver, and E. W. Wright, manager of the Port of Portland, visited the dredge Tualatin yesterday morning and said there was thin Ice running near the mouth of the Willamette. On the downtrlp Thursday the steamer Tahoma had difficulty making a landing at Butler's, owing to the ice. and ot other points large pieces were seen floating. It was January 6 this year when the Tahoma was caught in the Ice, when on her way from The Dalles for Port land, and she was Imprisoned until February 12. Naturally. Captain Nel son does not care to risk repeating that experience so ordered the steamer held here yesterday. FREIGHT TABOO EXTENDED Mariners Install Sprinklers and Lose More Cargo Business. News that Captain J. K. Bulger, su pervising Inspector of steam vessels for the western district, headquarters at San Francisco, and issued an order preventing roofing paper, with cans of cement in the center of the rolls, being transported on passenger ves sels. Is the subject of varied comment among Portland steamboat owners be cause of a new regulation providing for the equipping of all combined freight and passenger vessels with sprinkler systems. The edict against the cement mixture being shipped with the roofing paper, the cement being Intended for use In laying the paper, is said to have grown from a dlsasterous fire aboard the steamer Congress off Coos Bay, a few months ago. there having been a large shipment of the paper aboard. The Willamette and Columbia River oper ators say that there have been so many restrictions on freight that a passenger vessel can really carry little that Is Inflammable. The attitude of the In spectors is that all precautions must be taken as to the dangerous class ot- freight and the use of sprinklers. XORTHWESTERX IS DAMAGED Steamer Bound South From Port land Struck hy Schooner. Brief dispatches reaching here early yesterday afternoon that the steamer Northwestern was damaged In colli sion with an unidentified schooner off Eureka at 5 o'clock in th-- morning, caused grave concern unt'' later in formation that the steamer was not I seriously injured.
