The antl-picketing, anti banDer, anti-boycott measure asked by the Employers' Association was again the subject of acrid discussion at a meeting tonight of the Multnomah delegation in the Legislature. No de cision was reached. The delegation earlier In the week had put the situation up to Portland officials by inviting five of them to appear and explain why the present law against intimidation or force to prevent men from continuing or ac cepting employment could not be en forced. Mayor Albee, Sheriff Hurlburt, Dis trict Attorney Evans, Chief of Police Clark and Municipal Judge Langguth were the officials invited. The Sheriff and Judge Langguth were the only ones to appear. Judge Denies Strike Troubles. Judge Langguth, goaded by Insistent cross-examination from Thomas Mo Cusker, secretary of the Employers' Association, made a vigorous defense of his policy In dealing with Industrial disturbances. Further, he declared that as far as he knew there was not any strike trouble In Portland. "We haven't any strike trouble, that I know of." he said. "If we have. It hasn't come to my notice. Really, I don't know what I'm here for." Sheriff Hurlburt also declared that his office had not met with any diffi culty in keeping order during the Wil lamette Iron Works-Northwest Steel Company strike. . After hearing the two officials, and E. J. Stack, secretary of the State Federation of Labor, who dis cussed the organized labor view of picketing and the right to carry ban ners and to boycott, the delegation put off further action until next Tuesday night at 8 o'clock. Business Men Invited. The delegation voted to invite 20 Portland business men who signed a telegram to the Legislatures asking the privilege, to appear before them at Tuesday night's meeting. The invitation also includes any other persons who may be interested. The telegram from the Portland business men was as follows: "We urge passage of bill being sub mitted to prevent abuses common to day under the practice of bannering and picketing. If you are not favor able to this measure, we respectfully request the privilege to send a very large delegation of Portland business men to appear before Multnomah dele gation Tuesday evening' of next week, or at as early date as possible. If this evening not convenient. "Business interests insist upon more adequate protection against oppression common now under existing conditions where I. W. W. and other organiza tions seek to coerce people to accept their views." Twenty Sign Request. This message was signed by B. C. Ball, A. H. Averill, D. A. Pattullo, John Tait, E. L. Thompson, R. E. Fon tana, M. Goodman, Adolph Wolfe, Leo ! riede. Max Hirsch, C. W. Hodson, A. G. Labbe, J. II. Corcoran, I. N. Fleisch ner. Emery Olmstead, H. K. Kilham, J. u. English, O. AI. Clark, W. P. Boise, K. R. Corbett, C. F. Adams. J. C. Ains- worth, W. F. Woodward, Henry Habn ana w. o. touch. Senator Huston opened the hearing by telling Judge Langguth the delega tlon had been informed he had said the present law was not sufficient. "That's pews to me," replied Judge Langguth. "I never said that to any body No case has come up under this Ftalnte in my court since I've been on the ' bench." Judjse Denies Statement. Mr. McCusker remarked that no case had come up un.ier the statute because the judges In Portland had said there wasn't any law to cover the picket- inn situation. He declared Judge Lang Buth, in some I. W. W. cases before him, had said there wasn't any law to hold them. l man t say tnere was no law." re turned Judge Langguth. "I said there was no evidence to hold them. I'm tickled to death to have this chance to defend myself. While I'm on the pcncn l m going to give everyone a square deal, whether he a white. colored, an I. W. W.. or whatsoever.' Mr. McCusker asked Judge Langguth If he hadn't let an I. W. W. leave town who had made the threat to blow up the Northwest Steel Company's plant? I never heard of any plot to blow up the plant." said Judge Langguth. "It never came out in court." There was a lively exchange of ques tions and hot retorts between him and Mr. McCucker and Representative l.ubli. Judge Langguth insisting that he had handled every case before him without favoring either side. Opinion Not Given. "There were 300 pickets at the Willamette Iron Works and 600 at the Northwest Steel Company's. Don't you consider their presence there lntlmi dation?" queried McCusker. "I might have to pass on that later. and it wouldn't be right for me to ex press an opinion on it, nor is it far to ask me the question," responded Judge Langguth. "Do you think that If the Legislature should make a law against picketing and against carrying banners it would not promote more peaceful conditions?' Questioned Ivubli. Judge Langguth implied that he con sldered the present laws sufficient. though he said he did not care to ex press an opinion. He had previously said that the city ordinance on dis orderly conduct was broad enough to meet most contingencies. Deputies Not Needed, lie Says. Sheriff Hurlburt said he had sen 10 deputies to the Northwest Steel Company at the company's request, but that they had not had to cope with any disorder. "Don't you think." asked Kubll, "that If a law stopping picketing and banner carrying were on the statutes we would lsavo more peace in Portland?" "I suppose any law that prevented people from congregating would re lieve the Sheriff of many duties," re plied Mr. Hurlburt. "This would ap ply as much to Columbia Beach an the Columbia River Highway as else where. Even when orderly people con Bregate there is need for more offl cers." The delegation thanked Judge Lang guth and Sheriff Hurlburt for appear ing before them. District Attorney Evans had sent a very curt letter of refusal to the dele gation's invitation. Among other reasons the District At torney cited for declining were that he had a previous engagement, that during (Special.) The House In- I dulged in a spirited parliamen tary squabble over Representative W. B. Jones' bill to abolish the office of county school supervisors. The edu cative committee reported adversely on the MIL Jones protested. Mrs. Thompson and other members of the committee defended their report. The House overwhelmingly sustained the action of the committee and sent the bill down the skids. Milton A. Miller, collector of In ternal revenue at Portland, and for many years a member of the State Senate, visited the Capitol this morn ing. "They don't look so bad for a bunch of Republicans," he commented, after giving the legislators the once over. Mark Woodruff and James J. Sayre, of Portland, are here hobnobbing with the law makers. Representative Lewis bill factory seems to be closed for repairs, or maybe the hands have gone on a strike. Lewis has not Introduced a bill for three days. Miss Edith Sweeney, who Is attend ing the sessions with her father. Dr. Charles T. Sweeney, of Josephine County, really should be entitled to er lathers seat. She took an ac tive part In his campaign and he ad mits that he might not have been elected without her efforts. She is a lose student of politics and watches the course of legislation as carefully as any member of the House. Will G. Steele, superintendent of Crater Lake National Park, has been visitor on the floor of the House for the last few days. A movement to errant tardy, but humble, recognition to the pioneers who established Oregon's provisional government at Champoeg was started by a bill Introduced In the House, this morning by Representative Browhell. At the close of the House session this noon Representative Bellood, of Astoria, delivered a brief eulogy on the late Admiral Dewey. He Bug his four years In office no one had ap plied to his office for a complaint for violation of section 2176. the present anti-picketing law, which the proposed measure would make much more strin gent, and that the tone of the delega tion's letter of Invitation was not a proper one. The motion Inviting the Portland of ficials to appear had been made by Senator Moser. In his letter Mr. Evans took this shot at Mr. Moser "In conclu sion, may I ask you to refer Mr. Moser to the remark of Governor Pennoyer n his controversy with the late Grover Cleveland." Salary Bill Postponed. "What Governor Pennoyer Is reputed to have said to Grover Cleveland was: You tend to your business and I'll tend to mine." In tonight's discussion, however. Sen ator Moser pointed out as one of the arguments against the proposed picket- ng measure District Attorney Evans tatement that not a request has oeen made in his office for a complaint un- er the present law. In his brief address to the delegation. Mr. Stack likened picketing to the presence of lobbyists at the Legisla- ure. "The lobbyists are pickets, ire said. "You have to run the gauntlet very time you go to the elevator. But that isn't Intimidation." Before adjourning the delegation in definitely postponed the proposal to ncrease the salaries of Muitnoman Commissioners to S3000 a year.

Tasui, a member of the community s only mercantile con cern, says that he feels sure that the proposed bill, if adopted, will renew the international question raised when similar tactics were pursued by the Legislative Assembly of California a number of years ago. While the local Japanese ssys he cannot speak with any authority, he declares that he Is well enough posted to state that the Japanese government will enter a for mal protest against the bill. Discrimination Is Charged. "While we do not feel that any great hardship would be worked on Japanese people, says the Japanese merchant, the proposed bill appears to us as a direct act of discrimination against the Japanese land owner. It comes at a time when there Is no necessity for such action on the part of Oregon legislators. I believe that those who are promoting the measure lack Information. "Japanese residents of Oregon have been steadily decreasing since 1910, I have as my authority statistics gathered by the 'Blue Book,' Issued last year by the - North American Times. A Japanese publication of Seattle with a branch in Portland. "It is stated In this publication that the total Japanese population of Ore gon lor I9ll, including men, women and children, was 3243. In 1910 the total population was an approximate 5S00. In Hood River County at the present time my countrymen. Includ ing women and children, reach a total number of approximately 325. The 'Blue Book' placed them laet year at S43. In 1910, when more than K0H Japanese wer residents of the Vallev. the maximum Japanese population was reached. So you will sen that Japanese population has materially decreased." ROAD BILL PASSES HOUSE (Continued From Fii-at Pace.) lation ot lease when owner falls to pay rent. H.
