Picketing Is Maintained. Strikes called at the Columbia Engi neering Works at Llnnton and the Port land Boiler "Works, Seventeenth and Pettygrove streets, by representatives of the Metal Trades Unions, were In full effect yesterday with the result that work was shut down at the latter plant and the engineering works was op erating with a force of about 12 men. Managers of the two concerns re iterated their intention of holding no conferences with the union men and declared they would continue to op erate their plants on the old basis, yielding to none of the demands of the strikers. They announced that they anticipated little difficulty in obtaining men to fill the places of the strikers and expected to be able to operate soon with full crews. About 90 men are now out on strike at the two plants. Fourteen boiler makers, blacksmiths and helpers walked out at the Portland Boiler Works yes terday morning. About 80 had gone on strike at the Columbia Engineering Works on the previous day.- Managers to Remain Finn. The strike at the Portland Boiler TVorks had been called Monday and, ac cording to Joseph Reed, chairman of the executive board of the Metal Trades Council, resulted from the fact that the boiler works was doing some work for the Willamette Iron & Steel Works, a concern against which a strike was de clared by the Metal Trades several weeks ago. Tom Monks, superintendent of the Portland Boiler Works, announced yes terday that his plant would be shut down for a day or two, but that after that he expected to be able to open up .gain with practically a full force. "We have been paying higher wages than other similar plants and have been working the eight-hour day," he said. "As a consequence the union men could find no fault with the operation of the plant, with the single exception that work was being done for the Wil lamette Iron & Steel Works." Mr. Monks declared that his concern would stand firm with the Willamette Iron & Steel Works in its opposition to the men's demands and said the plant would continue to operate strictly on the open-shop basis. Hlore Men Are Obtained. A. IT. Hears, manager of the Colum bia Engineering Works, Bald yesterday that he had been enabled to put on a force of about 12 men and that more were to be put on today. He said there would be no compromise with the men who had gone out on strike. Active picketing was carried on at the two plants yesterday by represen tatlvea- of the Metal Traces. Patrol "men detailed by Police Captain Ins keep to prevent any clash between strikers and strike-breakers reported that the picketing was of a peaceful character. Police Lieutenant Jenkins was in charge of the force detailed for duty at the Columbia Engineering Works. CRAB SHIPPER IS FINED H. Gregory, Coos Bay Fisherman, Violates Fish Law.

It is "Bought and Paid For," starring Alice Brady, a production never before exhibited in Portland, al though highly successful all over the country. This will be followed by Clara Kim ball Toung, in "The Rise of Susan." the last picture she made with World before going with her own company. Robert Warwick in "All Man" will also be screened shortly, and other early offerings will be Carlyle Blackwell and Ethel Clayton in "The Madness of Helen": Marie Dressier and Johnnie Hines In "Tillie Wakes Up," for which the sub-titles were written by George Ade; Gall Kane in "The Red Woman"; June Elvidge in "The Square Deal": Alice Brady in "The Hungry Heart," from "Frou-Frou"; Carlyle Blackwell and Ethel Clayton in "Broken Chains."

By dividing these attractions between its Peoples and Star theaters the company is able to make use of all of the productions, and it. is said that negotiations are practically completed for other big special photoplays, which win d an nounced within a few days. Movie Men in Baseball. Having gobbled up most of the stage stars, the motion-picture magnates are now invading the baseball diamond and stealing stars by tne teamiui. The breach in the first line trenches was made when the Portland Eastern League team was purchased last week by Hiram Abrams, president of the Paramount Pictures Corporation; Arcn ibald Selwyn, the well-known theat rical producer, and Stanley Mastbaum. of Philadelphia, whose motion picture holdings in the Quaker City and In New York are legion. Abrams, who is . president of the newly formed club, declares that he is going on tour with his new club in the Summer and the chances are that he will be flanked by movie cameras. At any rate, he states, that before he gets through with it. the Portland team will be the Paramount team of New England. The new baseball magnate is prob ably doomed to some very serious com plications . on the matter of 'releases' as the word has vastly different mean ings in his two fields of endeavor. It can be predicted without fear of con tradictlon. however, that Abrams will be classing motion picture censors and baseball umpires in the same category before the season is half over. Camera Furnishes Evidence, Motion pictures taken by the Hearst Pathe News at the time of the recent riots on the international bridge con necting El Paso, Texas, and Juarez, Mexico, are to be used to identify the men and women who led the rioting Mexicans in attacks upon United States troops guarding the bridge.
