The conference with the strikers and the Northwest Company will be ar ranged at as early a date as possible. This probably will be left to Mr. Baker as Intermediary.

Salesgirls to Try to Identify Man Who Bought Scent x Found in Model's Room. MEXICAN OFFICIAL HELD AS PLOTTER last night for Everett, Wash., to act as special prosecutor against the mem bers of the Industrial Workers of the World being held for the killing of Deputy Sheriff Jefferson Beard and Charles O. Curtlss. when 250 members of that organization engaged In pitched battle with 150 citizens of Ev erett on November 5 last. THEORY OF FIGHT IS HELD Police Xow Think Second Man Called 'When Slayer Was in Girl's Room and In Ensulnjj Clash Murder Was Done. PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 3. (Special.) Detectives are said to have their hands upon the man who slew Maizie Colbert, known as Grace Roberts, the artists' model, found dead late Satur day night in her apartment at Fif teenth and Poplar streets. The odor of a perfume this man used may fasten the crime upon him. A man's shirt found in the apartment was scented with tHe perfume, and salesgirls from the store which sells it will look at the suspect to see whether he Is the man who bought the scent. ' The man suspected is in this city under constant watch." " He has known Grace Roberts for a long time, and recently, it is said, had threatened that unless she returned a certain gift he had made her he would "knock her head off." Self-Defense Theory Advocated. There is a theory that he went to the woman's apartment last Friday and that while there another man called. The suspect learned, so the theory goes, that the woman and the other man were conspiring against him. A quarrel led to the fight. In the fight, perhaps in self-defense. It is believed the suspect slew Grace Roberts. The perfyme, rather than the shirt Itself, is a vital factor as a clew, be cause the shirt bore, no laundry marks or other means of identifying its owner. It is said that the man under suspicion would buy shirts in lots of five and six and often discard them when they became soiled. The suspect is a man of wealth and approaching middle age. While his home i3 not in Philadelphia, he has spent much ,of his time there. He is said to have Inherited nearly $1,000, 000 from his father. He is known in many cities. Fugitive Eludes Pursuers. One trail turned toward Norrlstown, not far from Philadelphia, whence came word of a fugitive, young and hand some, who talked vaguely of a pros pective murder charge, only to disap pear before he could arrange a de fense with a lawyer upon whom he called. This fugitive was tracked to Haverford, where all trace of him was lost. Between the two new suspects the police are Inclined to give their atten tion most to the so-called "Westerner." For one thing he is alleged to have made threats to strangle the model to death a few days before the tragedy. For another, he is suspected of leaving the Chicago time table which was found in the slain girl's room when the janitor broke In on the day following the murder. It, has been pretty definitely estab lished that this man was due to re turn to the city from Chicago about the time of the murder. Jealousy Said to Exist. - "He is now in Chicago, but Is coming home this week," the model is Quoted as having said to a friend one day last wepk. "He is awfully Jealous of me, and I am afraid he will strangle me. He said he wouldome time." The man has been a familiar figure around the hotel and cafes here for months, and recently had been seen often in the company of the model. The new police theory is that he returned suddenly on the morning of the mur der, went to the Roberts apartments and slew the girl in a fit of jealous rage. jviany prominent young men, ac quaintances of the victim, were ques tioned today by the police, who still persisted in their theory that a degen erate had killed the former manicure. Captain of Detectives Tate said the woman had been hit on the head, ap parently as she tried to raise a window In her living room to shout for help. The window sill is stained with blood. "I'm not so certain there was a des perate fight preceding the murder," the captain said. "It is evident, in any event, that the right did not last long, because the janitor's wife and persons living directly opposite her apartment heard no noise. One of the theories discounted by the, police was that the murder may have been the result of an attempt to , blackmail one of Miss Colbert's ad mirers. STAND FIRM 0 OPEX fiHOP Mr. Bowles Is "Willing to Meet Own Men at Any Time. Joseph R. Bowles, president of the Northwest Steel Company, returned yesterday from New York and plunged promptly into the strike situation. Mr. Bowles displayed an eagerness from the start to negotiate with the men on strike that is with the strik ing employes of the Northwest Steel Company, rather than with officials of the unions not directly connected with the plant. He remained firm in his decision to continue operating his plant as an open shop, regardless of whether the men belong 'to a union or not. We always are ready to deal with our men on questions of hours, wages or working conditions," he said. Many of our men have helped us build up our industry, and they cer tainly have a right to say something about the conditions under which they are to work." In amplification of this position he made the following formal declaration: In connection with the labor situation at our plant, while we have . in every way endeavored to avoid a strike," we cannot. In Justice to freedom of action on the part of the men who, during; many years, have contributed to the upbuilding ot an indus try in Portland, require them to Join any organization, and It would be manifestly unjust to differentiate in favor of union men to the detriment of non-union workers. It is very plain that It is not a question of wages or working conditions, but of the closed shop, as we have always stood ready to meet our men individually or a. com mittee representing our own employes, for the purpose of -adjusting, by arbitration. If need lie, any differences; as we wish every man in our employ to be satisfied he Is receiving; equitable treatment and the full returns of his labor. Had we been SDDroached. at anv time, od the question of wages or working condl tlons at our yards, only too gladly would we have met a committee of our own men. union and non-uiiion, without prejudice, and mere would nave been no difficulty what ever In reaching an amicable adjustment. When men have applied to us for work, wo have never permitted the foremen to ask the applicant whether he was affiliated with any organization, nor have we at any time given preference to a non-union man, and vice versa, to a union man. I would regret greatly to feel that the purpose of calling a strike was with a view of forcing us to sign an agreement for the closed shop, but from all Indications the action of the organizers was taken with this very purpose. I still think that if the men would re turn to work, any Question of wares or working conditions, if there be any such questions, can be settled to the satisfaction of all concerned, y direct negotiations be tween a committee of our own employes at work In our plant, and the company. And we beg to announce that where any differ ence in a conference cannot be adjusted, we stand ready to arbitrate and abide by the decision of the arbitration board. More, in fairness to all, we cannot do. If this is an attempt to cause us to sign union agreement, we cannot see our way clear to accept dictation. On the question of wages, we do not wish to nay less for the same class of work than shipbuilders in San Francisco, notwithstand ing the fact that the Atiantle Coast wagea are far below- those ruling here. It tnere Is any woraing condition In our plant which does not offer the fullest ..se curity to the workmen, we would like to have it called to our attention, with a view of rectifying. while we would greatly deplore a contin uation of the strike, we will be obliged to work along under the best conditions we possibly can if the organizers have made up their minds to compel us to sign an agreement to employ only union men. or even give preference to a workman because he belongs to a union. NORTHWEST COMPANY BUSY Juan T. Burns Said to Have Sent Munitions to Mexico From New York. $10,000 CASH BAIL GIVEN STRIKE CONFERENCE PLAN (Continued From First' Page.) through you, from the Metal Trades Coun cil of Portland, offering to meet us under certain conditions stated in the communi cation. We regret that we are not able to meet with a committee under the restrictions named, but will be very glad to meet committee of our own employes at any time to discuss all questions of differences which may arise between us. It Is understood that on the committee which Is chosen the non-union men should be represented as well as the union men. Men Agree to Meet. With the letters from the two com panies, Mr. Baker went to the Metal Trades Council headquarters and sub mitted the letters to the officers. They made the following reply in writing: We have gone over the proposals of Mr. Bowles, president of the Northwest Steel Company, and Mr. Ball, president of the Willamette Steel & Iron Company, looking towards a conference to discuss the sltua tion now existing in their shipyards and shops. We are willing to accept the proposal of Mr. Bowles and carry out the terms of it Immediately: we are, however, opposed to Mr. Ball's proposal and trust he will soon agree to the same plans as .Mr. Bowlea Another Effort to Be Made. In another conference with President Ball today Commissioner Baker will ' present the statement of the union offi cials and will ask Mr. Ball to recon elder his stand. The result of this con- Employes Are Taken Home After Work in Special Train. The Northwest Steel Company form ally resumed operations yesterday after the holiday vacation, the first attempt to operate since the strike order went into effect last Saturday. Officials of the company say that about S50 men went to work, includ lng carpenters and some others not affected by the strike order. Union officials say that only about 30 metal trades workers went to work. Most of them were not members of the union, anyway. Obviously all union men who worked yesterday auto matically lost their standing In the or A disorganized and orderly group of strikers and Btrike sympathizers hung around the gates of the company s plant at the foot of Caruthers street all day yesterday. The men going to work yesterday morning had to run the gauntlet of this group of shouting, Jeering men and some boys. The strikers were entirely good natured, however. A large party of men left the plant on board tnree special cars over the Southern Pacific. Three of the red steel cars of the Southern Pacific elec tric lines were used. If the strike con tinue, it is probable that some ar rangements will be made to accom modate the men who remain at work inside the plant. Pickets continued on duty at the Wil lamette Iron & Steel Company's plant yesterday. Only a small force was at work inside. It is probable that the plant of the Smith & Watson Iron Works also will become Involved in the strike within few days. Four union men were discharged there yesterday. They were advised that the company was reducing its forces. Union officials will start an in vestigation today. Union officials here yesterday were advised that the Seattle unions had Is sued orders not to work on any ma terial shipped there from the Portland plants now on strike. five Indicted for Conspiracy tn Ship Arms to Turbulent Land. Diplomat Denies Connection With Alleged Plot. NEW YORK, Jan. 3. The arrest here today by -Federal officers of Juan T. Burns, Consul-General at New York for the de facto government in Mexico, disclosed an alleged conspiracy In which five Mexicans, including Burns, are charged In three indictments with shipping arms into Mexico in viola tion of President Wilsons emDargo proclamation of October 1915, and with evasion of customs regulations. According to Assistant United States District Attorney John C. Knox, r ea eral agents first became acqainted with the alleged plot last November when package shipped from New York on board the Ward line steamship t-sper anza. and manifested as containing "building material" fell on the dock at Vera Cruz and broke open reveal ing cartridges as its contents. Wide riot Revealed. Investigation by Federal agents dls closed that the box, shipped presumably by a Pittsburg hardware company, had been forwarded from this port by i firm known as the Adic Company. Fur ther Investigation revealed, according to Mr. Knox, that other shipments of cartridges had been made from New York under the guise of various kinds of machinery. Some of these ship ments, he said, were sent to Galveston, Texas, on board the steamer Neches of the Mallory line. A development of the case, based in part on a statement said to have been made to the officers, disclosed, Mr. Knox said, that ammunition valued at 140,000 had been shipped to New York and there prepared for delivery Into Mexico via Ward and Mallory line steamers. Payment Traced to Burns. The Implication of Consul-General Burns came, Mr. Knox said, when in vestigations revealed that money to pay for this ammunition had come from him. One count In the Indict ments mentions In this connection the advancing by Burns of $5200. A con siderable quantity of the ammunition found here and at Galveston has been seized by the Federal officers and Is held as evidenoe against the accused. Burns protested his. Innocence and entered a plea of not guilty. He was released on a bond of $10,000, which he furnished in cash. Later Burns said: "I have not made any attempt to buy arms here to be shipped to Mexico, and I cannot see how l can possibly be con nected with any such charge as has been brought."
