I. W. W. TO BEHAVE A. H. Price Promises to Go to Work or Leave Town. CARL ASPLUND ALSO FREE want you out there. I think you'd bet ter take the hunch. Will you be out ot town by Sunday, If you can't find work here?" "Sure." said the propagandist. The case against Carl Asplund. strik er, who was arrested for Interfering with an officer, when Price was taken, was also continued by the court with out sentence. Man Arrested for Interfering Witb Strike Situation Tells Court Trouble Mainspring of Prog ress, but Heeds Warning. "I am a migratory proletariat and a powder-monkey." Such was the answer given in Munlc " lpal Court yesterday, when A. H. Price, .an L W. "W., charged with vagrancy, made his own plea. Price was arrested several days ago at the Northwest Steel Company's plant by Sergeant Ben "Wade, where,. It was said, he attempt ed to Incite the strikers to violence. This was denied by Price at yester day's hearing. He said, that he had more than $20, that he worked all last Summer and Fall, and that he was still for sale as a laborer. "Tea, but you have no regular ocu pation or trade?" persisted Deputy City Attorney Stadter. "I used to have." What was it?" "I was a skilled glassblowe'r." "Why not work at It?" ' TVelL I had to quit. A fellow made an improvement on a machine, and it took all my skill away from me. Judge Langguth upbraided Price for manifesting an Interest in the steel strike, when the strikers themselves had asked that the X. W. W. be kept away, lest the radlcallsts and direct actlonlsts create trouble by sugges tion. "You have no business now, seemingly, save that of making trou ble," declared the court. "Trouble is the mainspring of prog ress." answered the defendant. "It Is not," decreed the court, "and, besides " "That's what the industrial relations report says, anyhow, maintained Price. "I see trouble ahead for you," said the court, with psychic insistence, "un less you cease your troublesome activi ties and look lor worn, xney aon JURISDICTION IS IN DOUBT Right of Appeal to Circuit Court From City Council Raised. The question of whether the city charter ,as amended, in the absence of any statute, can. give Jurisdiction to the Circuit Court on appeal from the findings of the City Commissioners in the determination of damages to abut ting- lot owners on proposed improve ments for the elimination of grade crossings, was raised yesterday by Circuit Judge Tucker. The question was raised in the case of the city of Portland against S. P. Lockwood and Harriet Lockwood. now being tried before Judge Tucker, and will probably have to be decided ulti mately by the Supreme Court. PROTESTS TO BE DECIDED Council to Pass on Question of Via duct Assessment Today. Protests against the assessment for the" construction of the. Union- avenue viaduct will be passed on finally by the City Council this morning. The Council pas made as sessments heretofore for the work and these probably will stand, with some modifications, unless the property own ers can induce the county to assume part of the cost from the Interstate Bridge fund. The Council put the. assessment ques tlon over until today to give the prop erty owners time to confer with the Board of County Commissioners. FOOD TRUST CHARGE Dan Kellatfer Wants Grocers' Association Dissolved. MISCONDUCT IS ALLEGED the knowledge and consent of the offi cers of, the association. Combine Is Alleged. Mr. Kellaher declares that the plain tiffs are entitled to an Inspection and examination of all the books and rec ords of the corporation. The allegation la further made that number of the officers and others have formed what Is known as a United Grocers' Buying Combine" to bull the food market. As a result of the manipulation of this buying com bine it is declared that advertising in the magazine published by the Grocers Association has been dropping off so that it is no longer a paying concern. The action will come up for hearing before Circuit Judge Davis Saturday morning. Lewis Road Supervisors Named. CENTRALIA, Wash., Jan. 11. (Spe cial.) The appointment of the follow ing road supervisors in the third Lewis County Commissioner district was an nounced yesterday by J..T. Biven, chair man of the county board: J. Z. Zeathers and John Reidl, Winlock; J. A. Taylor and J. S. Ryan, Toledo; Jack Ingma, Cowlitz; Austin Zenkner, Silver Creek; G. G. Temple, Morton; J. W. Hummel. Mayfleld; Don Music, Randle and Toney Nelson, Alpha. Formation of "'United Grocers' Buy. ing Combine" Declared Move to Bull Markets Financial Management Is Criticised. "Apparent irregularities" In the con duct of the affairs of the Grocers' and Merchants' Association, and the forma' tion on the part of officers and certain others of an organization for the pur pose of "bulling" the market on food, are some of tne allegations mado by Dan Kellaher In an amended petition filed yesterday in connection with the action to have the association dissolved and a receiver appointed to handle the assets and liabilities. Mr. Kellaher, who represents himself to be a stockholder in the Grocers' and Merchants' Association, says he Is bringing the action on behalf of him self and others similarly situated. The officers of the association, consisting of Adam Emlg, president; Carl Wal- strom, secretary; D. J. Van Scyoc. treas urer, and Robert G. Duncan, assistant secretary, are made party to tha suit. Insolvency Declared Near. The representation is made in th amended petition that the association lost In 1915 about $1041.39, and In 191 $1673.24, together with other losses and expenditures, and that practically noth ing now remains to pay claims of credi tors. "Said losses are increasing rapidly and the corporation Is almost Insolvent, or In imminent danger of becoming so," Mr. Kellaher declares. The amended complaint expresses the belief that there is an overissue of stock in that the concern is only en titled to issue 200 shares, and that 406 were outstanding on February 4, 1916. The allegation is also made that the stock book and all transfers of stock have not been properly kept, and that such Irregularities were carried on with day, when merchants founrj that their concessions to the Parent-Teacher cir cles In the way of ppclal prices at tracted Sjnusual numbers of buyers to their stores. The success of these sales will dotprmlne the attitude of the mer chants on future Thursdays, -when ar rangements are to be made for further Fpec!a! prlc-e lint?.
