COMPANY YIELDS
POINT TO STRIKERS
Announcement Made North
west Has Agreed to Meet
. San Francisco Scale.
WILLAMETTE PUTS UP BAR
President Bowles Assures Men at
Work in His Plant That Agree
ment 'With Union Won't
Cost Any Their Places.
Nearly 500 mechanics, who have been
employed at the Northwest Steel Com
pany and the Willamette Iron & Steel
"Works and who now are out on strike,
attended a mass meeting- at Arlon Hall
yesterday afternoon to hear a report
of the committee of the Metal Trades
Council regarding' negotiations with the
Northwest Steel Company.
Arthur Burns, chairman of the meet
ing, announced that J. R. Bowles, presi
dent of the company, had agreed to
adopt the scale of wages similar to
that in effect at the Union Iron Works
at San Francisco. This concession was
made following a conference between
officials of the company and the Metal
Trades Council committee earlier In the
day.
"The proposition made by Mr. Bowles
chows that we are making progress."
aid Chairman Burns. "It remains now
for you men to consider the matter,
and when you have reached a decision
you will be in position to submit a
counter proposition."
Demands to Be Drafted.
It was decided that each of the vari
ous crafts affected should formulate its
definite demands and then convey the
results of their deliberations by spe
cial representatives to the committee
handling the strike. By this means the
committee expects to deal definitely
with the officials of the company.
The strikers still Insist on the adop
tion of the Seattle scale, which in some
cases provides for higher pay than the
scale in effect at the Union Iron Works.
One of the complaints against the
company that was aired at the meeting
was that workmen who were employed
on outside Jobs had no accommodations
for drying their clothes and that the
clothing often was wet on the follow
ing morning when the men reported
to work. Chairman Burns announced
that the company had agreed to pro
vide adequate dressing quarters and
other conveniences for the workmen.
Cpen-Sbop Attitude Retained.
While the committee representing the
strikers is still hopeful that a satis
factory agreement may be reached
soon, Mr. Bowles has not receded from
his position regarding the open shop.
His position in this matter was shown
In a letter which he sent to all em
ployes yesterday. The letter follows:
Notwithstanding our repeated statements
through the precs that we Intend to con
duct on open shop during the entire year of
1017, not a day passes wltnout some non
union man In our employ asking me -whether.
If the strike Is called off, the Jobs of the
son-union men are safe.
Therefore I wish to reiterate that every
man now in the employ or tnis company
will retain his position so long as he gives
loyal, efficient service, and no non-union
man will be discharged to make placs for
a union man. Further, In increasing the
force, we will not give preference toninlon
applicants, and again do we say that It is
entirely unnecessary for any non-union man
to Join a union, either to hold- his position
or to secure one with this company.
We do not intend to sign any contract
with any union, but we do Intend to ne
gotiate with a shop committee, to be se
lected from actual employes, for the purpose
of adjusting grievances as the same may
arise.
Fewer Men to Be TJsed. ,
Owing to the shortage of cars and the
closing down of a lot of steel mills we do
not expect any great amount of steel to
come in before March or April. Even though
the strike Is called off it would be im
possible to take back all of the men who
are now out, as we cannot possibly use. dur
ing the months of January and February, at
least, as large a crew as we were working
In December.
Union and non-union employes must work
side by side in a friendly American spirit,
and any disturbing factor, union or non
union, will be summarily dismissed.
we give this added assurance in order
that no old employe desiring to return to
work, will stay away longer for fear of not
being taken back and retained. Old em
ployes will be taken back, provided their
pieces nave not already been filled; and
this applies whether the strike Is settled
or wnetner it is not.
There were no new developments at
the Willamette Iron & Steel Company's
plant. President Ball said that more
men were being employed constantly
and that everything was running along
smoothly. The company still maintains
that it will conduct its plant on an
open-shop basis. Workmen who are
out on strike who failed to return to
work yesterday were definitely consid
ered as no longer employes of the
company.
RULING IS WELCOMED
ATTORXET-GENERAI, SAYS "BOXE
DRY" LAW SOW SECURE.
Action of Supreme Court of United
States In Holding; Wcbb-Kenyon
Act Valid Declared Vital.
SALEM, Or.. Jan. 9. (Special.)
Attorney-Ueneral G. M. Brown today
expressed pleasure at the action of the
Supreme Court of the United States in
declaring the Webb-Kenyon act consti
tutional and declared that the decision
paves the way for adequate legisla
tion under the "bone dry" act of this
state and that upon the decision all
bone dry" legislation must be based.
"Every legislator should read the
decision of the Supreme Court before
he takes any steps to enact 'bone dry
legislation, said the Attornev-General
"Had the decision been contrary to
tne constitutionality of the Webb-Ken
yon law, the important provision of the
present Anderson act restricting ship
xnents or liauor would have been mil
lifted and the bars would have been
thrown down to allow the shipment of
liquor into the state without limit,"
he said.
"As it is restrictions may now be
placed on shipments of liquor for per
sonal use, and the Legislature may
absolutely prohibit such shipments into
the state."
Mr. Brown said he probably will
frame no 'dry law,' as a number of
members have such bills for introduc
tion, and he will confine himself to as
sisting the committee on alcoholic traf
fic in selecting such a bill, or framing
puch a bill as it believes will be for the
best interests of the state.

INDIAN BENT BY AGE
ADMITS HIS GUILT
Picturesque Old Shem Lafay
ette Makes Clean Breast
in Liquor Case.
RECORD ON RESERVE GOOD
Most Blame for Buying Whisky
and Selling It on Siletz Res
ervation Put on Co-De-
fendant In Trial.
Sixty years ago there lived in the
picturesque town of Gold Beach a stal
wart Indian lad. His step was as
springy as the bow that still hung on
his father's smokehouse and he was
as straight as the arrows his father
used.
He helped hie father catch and dry
the fish and hunt deer that formed the
chief constituents of the frugal meals
of the family. Then one day his father
died. He was left alone with his
mother.
The career of the young aborigine is
somewhat clouded, but he now lays
claim to intimate acquaintance with
General Fremont and other virile fig
ures of early frontier life.
One day he heard of the opportuni
ties for thrifty Indians on the reserva
tion. He came north and received ah
allotment on the Siletz reservation. He
has lived there since and. although he
does not know how old he le, he has
been on the reservation close to 60
years.
Guilt la Acknowledged.
Yesterday Shem Lafayette, percepti
bly bent and his face a mass of wrin
kles, stepped to the witness stand in
Federal Judge Bean's court as Deputy
United States Attorney Goldstein said,
"Call Shem Lafayette."
Shem Lafayette is very old now. He
has never been in trouble before and
he bears an enviable record for "truth
and veracity" among his fellows On the
reservation. But yesterday he was a
defendant in a case Involving four
quarts of whisky and alcohol and an
other defendant. William Metcalf.
Lafayette admitted his guilt. He said
that he had furnished the money with
which the "firewater" was purchased
from a mysterious person in Falls City.
He admitted strapping his two-quart
demijohn of whisky to his saddle and
riding to the reservation with it. He
admitted stopping at the home of Oscar
Wood, where he and Metcalf are said to
have stayed all night. He then got
drunk and he said that after that night
someone had taken his liquor.
Co-Defendant la Blamed.
He made a clean breast of his con
nection with the affair and placed most
of the blame on his co-defendant, Met
calf. Three witnesses told of the good
record of Shem Lafayette and also tes
tified that the reputation of Metcalf
was bad.
Despite the fact that Lafayette real
izes that be has violated one of the most
rigid of the Government's laws, he
smiled all through his examination yes
terday and the jurors smiled with him.
Metcalf was called earlier in the day
and his testimony was opposed to that
of the older man. Metcalf runs a pool
parlor. He said that the whisky Jugs
had been emptied and cast aside before
the couple entered the reservation. The
sale of some alcohol to Oscar Wood,
a fact that Lafayette admits, Metcalf
denies.
CO LUGE TO BE DM ED
PULLMAN CHAMBER ARRANGES TO
FIGHT UNIVERSITY PROJECT.
Suggestion to Make College Part of
Higher Institution la Resented
and Will Be Opposed.
PULLMAN, Wash., Jan. 9. (Special.?
The Pullman Chamber of Commerce
at its weekly luncheon today appointed
a "defensive committee" to resist what
is regarded as encroachment upon the
State College by the State University.
This action was called forth by the
reading of a leading editorial In the
Montesano Vidette, supposed to be
written by John Rae, the oldest and
most influential member of the Uni
versity Board, and therefore is looked
upon as a semi-official statement of
the UnUersity's programme.
The editorial proposes a single Uni
versity, with a single board and a
single president, the plants to remain
as at present and the State College to
be the agricultural department of the
University.
It is believed locally that such a
course would be destructive of the
usefulness of the college to the indus
trial classes throughout the state, and
would result in the ultimate destruc
tion of the Institution. The first pro
posal was to curtail the functions of
the college. This was the report of
the experts. The second step, by Victor
Zednick, a member of the Educational
Commission, of Seattle, and an alumnus
of the University, was the preparation
of a bill for a single board, which. It
is believed, would be dominated by
Seattle members. The third step sug
gests a single University, with a single
board and president, the State College
being reduced to the status of a single
department.
The "defensive committee' will take
vigorous steps to combat attacks on the
autonomy of the State College. The
committee appointed by the Chamber
of Commerce Includes J. N. Emerson,
William Goodyear, M. S. Jamar, D. F.
Staley, George H. Watt, W. L. Green
await and John W. Mathews.
TWO VESSELS WANTED
TORPEDO-BOAT AND THIRD-CLASS
CRUISER DESIRED BY MILITIA.
Officers' and Lawyers' Auxiliary Both
Make Application for Addition
to Equipment.
In order to strengthen their olea for
the assignment here of a torpedo-boat
and a third-class cruiser for the Oregon
Naval Militia, the members of the law
yers auxiliary will write to the Oregon
delegation in Congress.
Commander George W. Williams, of
the battleship Oregon, the training ship
of the California Naval Militia, and Inspector-instructor
of the Naval Militia
of the Pacifio Coast, has recommended
to the chief of the division of Naval
Militia affairs that a torpedo-bat and
a cruiser of the New Orleans' class be
sent to Portland. The officers of the
Naval Militia have also put in an of
ficial bid for the two vessels.
If these two vessels are brought to
Portland they wiil both be here early
In tie Spring. Tiiey would be manned
by regulars to some extent and would
carry a partial complement of officers.
Lieutenant-Commander George F.
Blair, of the Oregon Naval Militia,
hopes to take the Oregon Naval Militia
men to Honolulu the coming Summer
and if he should get the two vessels
it would strengthen this hope.
It is considered probable that the
Naval Militiamen of the three Coast
states will join in the Summer cruise
to the Hawaiian Islands.
PILOTAGE SERVICE CRITICISED
Port of Astoria to Ask State to Pro
vide Power Scliooner.
ASTORIA. Or.. Jan. 9. (Special.)
The pilotage service which has been
maintained at the mouth of the Co
lumbia River since the Port of Port
land has had it in charge, was a sub
ject of discussion at the session of
the Port of Astoria Commission today.
Instances were cited where steamers
have been delayed in the offing a day
or more waiting for a pilot to bring
them in. The subject was brought up
by Harbormaster Sweet, who said that
shipping was suffering as a result of
the poor service maintained.
The commission appointed a commit
tee, which will endeavor to have the
state provide a power pilot schooner,
with the idea of re-establishing an in
dependent pilotage service similar to
the one in vogue several years ago.
A committee consisting of Commis
sioners Kinney, Warren and Patton was
uthorized to ask bids for the construc
tion of a first-class dredge, and ar
rangements were made for establishing
reclamation district so that when
waterways are dredged the abutting
property may be assessed to pay a
portion of the expense. G. C. Fulton
was reappointed attorney for the com
mission and Frank Sweet was reap
pointed as harbormaster. Upon the
recommendation of Mr. Sweet the com
mission decided to place an automatic
fog bell at the outer end of the port
dock, as an aid to vessels entering the
harbor.
"Other than the case of the steam
schooner Norwood, detained the latter
part of November, because her master
did not send a message before getting
to sea from Puget Sound that be de
sired a pilot, we have had no complaint
from persons concerned in the charter
or desDatch of vessels." said w,
Wright, manager of the Port of Port
land last night.
"The tug Oneonta is now held at
Astoria for no other reason than to
put pilots aboard ships, the tug Wallula
being in commission there as well for
any work that comes up.

BARK MUSSEIiCRAG IS LOST
Vessel Dispatched Last Year With
Wheat, Renamed, Goes Down.
That the Norwegian bark Musselcrag,
sold since her arrival at Leith in Sep
tember with a wheat cargo from Port
land, and renamed the Astrella, had
been lost In November Is made known
In recent advices reaching the city. She
was in command of Captain Hansen
here, and on the voyage from Portland
carried several men from Northwest
DOints. including Chester MacNeill, of
this city. The latter left the ship In
Europe and is at present working in a
steel clant in Canada.
The vessel is said to have left Leith
in ballast November 1, being bound for
the River Plate, and also had been re
ported on the way to New York, but on
November 25 the owners at christian
sand were informed by cable that the
vessel had been abandoned in a sinking
condition. The master sent the mes
sage from Kirkwall and it was not in
dicated whether she had struck a mine
or foundered in heavy weather.
