5 THE MORNING OREGONIAN. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1917.' SHIP CARPENTERS WILL STRIKE TODAY 2500 Men, 11 Plants and 100 Vessels Are Irvolved; Plea for Celay Is Ignored. MANY APPLY FOR PLACES Alanagers Are Not Concerned and Promise That Work on Govern ment Steamers Will Go On and Jobs Will Be Filled. fContinued From First Pg8- nan-Kern, Coast Shipbuilding Com pany, Grant Smith & Co., all of Port land; McCormick's, at St. Helens; Mc Eachern's and Wilson Bros., at As toria, and Columbia Engineering Works, at Llnnton. The employers, apparently, are willing- to act on any suggestion for an in crease in wages, and. in fact, have ap pealed to the Emergency Fleet Cor poration to readjust the contracts on Government vessels so that advances can be granted Ln several occupations. Unions Not to Be Dealt Wltb. But the employers are firmly united In their determination not to negotiate with the carpenters' union or any other union. They insist their entire willingness, however, to meet with their men individually or with commit tees of their respective employes, act ing for the men collectively. The position of all operators on this point seems to be the same. For that reason they have decided to ignore the communication recently sent them by the officers of the Carpenters' District Council, asking for a readjustment of the wage scale, recognition of the union and adoption of the closed-shop policy. The District Council's letters have not been answered. Many Apply for Work. There is no reason to take cogni sance of the union's proposals. Bay the operators, for they refuse absolutely to deal with the union men as an organi zation. They declare that they have hun dreds of applications from men seek ing work and that there is no need on their part to recognize the union to keep their plants running. They emphasize the assertion, too, that they have no objection to the men belonging to the unions, but they declare it their privilege to employ men regardless of their union affiliations or lack of affiliations. Moreover, they Insist that they are not going to open their plants to the wilful activities of the walking delegates, as proposed by the new agreement submitted by the men. Scale Higher Than Id Navy. When the Government placed Its con tracts with the local shipyards, the Government exacted an agreement that the employers pay the scale of wages paid at the Navy-yards. Now the oper aters here say they are paying better than the Navy-yard scale. Experiencto. ship carpenters receive 5 a aay. Some receive more. Men working with air tools are paid tt and more. The min imum wage for laborers and other un skilled men is $2.75 a day. The eight-hour day prevails in all plants. The proposed scale asks for a mini mum wage of $4 a day. and it is un derstood that the employers are willing to grant this providing the Government modifies its contracts. Seattle Price Wanted. The men insist that the agreement they propose here is nothing more nor less than the agreement now in effect among the wooden yards at Seattle. They assert that the higher wages paid at Seattle serve to attract many men from Portland to that city. Inasmuch as the employes of the wooden yards are affiliated with the Metal Trades Council, which governs the union organizations in the steel shipyards, the steel shipbuilding in dustry, in which separate negotiations now are pending, also may become In volved in the controversy. The following explanation of the union men's attitude was made follow ing the meeting last night: Steel Not Yet Affected. "The unions affiliated with the Met al Trades Council of Portland and vicinity by unanimous vote at a spe cial meeting held at Turn Hall decided to go ou strike Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, for recognition of the agree ment which has been presented to all shipbuilder on the Columbia and Will amette Rivera. "The unions are demanding compli ance with the same agreement that has been presented to all shipbuilding con cerns on the Pacific Coast. "Labor representatives are now in vv ashinetnn rnnftirrint. nc. I ment, and telegraphed Friday asking iiiu.1. nu tiuiiuQ do laiten, out tne action of Astoria, (mnlnv.ra in . union workmen precipitated the strike ard left the unions no alternative. "The strike that is to go into effect on Saturday affects only ' the wooden shipbuilding plants at present. Whether or not the steel yards will be affected wiu oe decided within a few days. STRIKE OF 15,000 IS DEBATED 200 0 Shipwrights Quit Work at Seattle and Tie-Up Is Possible. SEATTLE. Wash.. Sept. 14. Members of the Metal Trades Council tonight are considering holding a meeting Im mediately to discuss the possibility of caning a strike among metal workers ln the shipyards, ln sympathy with the walkout of the shipwrights. Joiners, snip caulkers and ship carpenters af filiated with the Building Trades Coun cil. This move. It la declared, would tie up three steel shipyards now ln opera tion and allect more than 15,000 men, Only three of Seattle's wooden ship building plants ceased operation today as tne result oi tne walkout of wood workers who struck to assist the lum ber workers and shingleweavers ln obtaining an eight-hour day, but of the 19 shipbuilding plants ln the city only two were unaffected in some man ner, the Skinner & Eddy Shipbuilding Company and the Meacham & Babcock plant. The Skinner & Eddy corporation has arranged to use lumber from a union lzed or eight-hour mill, while the Mea cham & Babcock Company recently leased a mill at Which union help Is employee;. All told. It is now estimated by the employers that but a few more than 2000 employes of shipyards actually walked out today though the builders face the prospect of a general strike being called by the metal trades coun cil, representing the iron' trades, with a total membership of more than 12,000. As it is, the metal trades have refused to handle non-union lumber. The big shipyards face the prospect of having these men strike when lumber becomes a necessity in the course "of ship con struction. The union officials asserted that more than 4000 men had joined the strike from the shipyards, but the plants estimated the number at ap proximately 2000. The union headquar ters also said that more than 6000 men. Including the house carpenters, were now on strike. STRIKE NOW SEEMS CERTAINTY Employers and Workers Give Up All Hope of Agreement. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 14. Hops of deferring a complete tieup of work on $150,000,000 Government shipbuilding contracts in San Francisco and the bay region, which, will result if a strike becomes effective Monday of 24,000 members of unions affiliated with the Iron Trades Council, was given up to night by both sides to the controversy. The current working agreement ex pires tomorrow night. The men now demand a minimum wage of $6 a day, a 50 per cent increase. An offer of 10 per cent advance was rejected. Three months of conferences between repre sentatives of both sides have failed to iron out the differences. The workers have voted for a general strike of all unions affiliated with the council, said labor leaders. The Cali fornia Metal Trades Association, the employers' organization issued no state ment after a meeting today. Previously the employers had said they cannot grant the demanded increase and can not accede to the terms of the pro posed agreement. James Lee Ackerson, special repre sentative of the United States Shipping Board, asked employers to exert every effort toward delaying the threatened walkout until the board has had an opportunity to review the differences. Employers announced they would close their plants next Monday and leave the next move to Washington officials. SHIPPING BOARD CONCERNED Effort Is Made to Work Out Wage Scale by Zones. WASHINGTON. Sept. 14. The labor situation in shipbuilding plants Is giv ing the Shipping Board serious con cern. A threatened walkout of Iron trade w6rkers at San Francisco and strikes at Seattle and New York pre sent the most serious difficulties the board is facing at the moment. Representatives of both employers and employes are here from Seattle, and a New York delegation came to day to take up the situation in New York repair yards. With the assistance of its wage ad justment board the Shipping Board is trying to work out a wage scale by zones, which it hopes will be adopted by the builders and their workers everywhere. The system is patterned after the Navy scale. The Seattle workers are demanding a 33 per cent wage increase. If this were granted and served as a basis for increases elsewhere there would be added to the cost of the Government's shipbuilding programme more than t?oo,ooo,ooo. The Seattle demands will be passed upon, it is said, only after a careful study of the situation. San Francisco shipyard workers have been asked to postpone any ac tion until the Shipping Board has had an opportunity to take up their case. If they .Insist on striking, however, the board, it was said today, can do nothing to prevent It. STRIKE TIME SET AT ASTORIA Two Shipbuilding: Plants Close to Await Settlement. ASTORIA, Or., Sept. 14. (Special.) Ten o'clock tomorrow morning is the time set for a strike of the ship car penters employed at the wooden ship yards here. The men are asking for a closed shop," a minimum wage of $6 per day, double pay for work on Sat urday afternoon, exemption from pay ment of hospital dues or state compen sation tax and freedom of the ya. ds for visits by walking delegates. If the strike carries it will find the principal yards here shut down temporarily. The Wilson Shipbuilding Company closed Its plant last evening indef initely on account of the bad weather and to await a settlement of the trouble. The McEachern plant wa: closed this evening and work will not be resumed until Monday morning, and it Is hoped by that time all matters will be ad- Justed. The Rodgers yard Is not yet actively engaged in ship construction, the ma jority of its men being employed ln the installation of the plant. WOMAN KILLED BY AUTO MRS. CAROLINA REID, 60, IS BIN DOWN BY MAIL, CARRIER. Son Repoi-ta Mother Is Missing and Goes to Uargoe, Where He Iden tifies Body of Victim. Mrs. Carolina Reid, 60, of the Westfal apartments. Fifth and Hall streets, was rur down at Fourth and Jefferson streets yesterday and fatally Injured by . an automobile driven by John M. Eisenblatter, a rural mail carrier of Scappoose. She was taken to the Good Samaritan Hospital by the Ambulance Service Company, and died early last night of a fractured skull. Mrs. Reid was not identified until early this morning, when her son, Harry B. Reid, called police headquar ters to report her missing from her home. Mr. Reid was informed of the accident, and identified the body at the morgue. According to Mr. Flsenblatter's state ment to Harry P. Coffin, of the Pub lie Safety Commission, he was driving south on Fourth street. The woman was going ln the same direction on the east side of the street. Mr Eisen blatter turned east, but to the left side of the street to pass a truck. The wheels of his car caught in the car tracks of the Southern Pacific Com' pany's line and he was unable to turn the machine to avoid hitting the worn an. He applied the brakes, but the right fender struck the woman. A. witness to the accident told Pa trolmen Miller and Wellbrook that he thought the woman was a Mrs. Will iam Stevens, who was to arrive from San Francisco and meet her husband at the St. Charles Hotel last night. Mr. Stevens had left for The Dalles with a son, Lyman Stevens, of 188 Fourth street. Lyman Stevens was called back and arrived last night, but at the hos pital just before she died said the woman was not his mother. Mrs. Reid lived in Portland eight years ago, before the death of her hus band, D. H. Reid. She is survived by two sons, Harry B. Reid, of this city, and F. W. Reid, who lives near Chlco, CaL The son at Chlco was notified early this morning. Liquor ln Auto Is Seized. J. A. White, a chauffeur, was ar rested at Second and Glisan streets last night by Patrolmen Elliott and O'Hal loran, and charged with violating the prohibition law. The police found nine sacks full of bottled liquor in his auto mobile. Sergeant Oelsner and Patrolman Col lins arrested Ida Knight at 86 West Park street on a charge of violating the prohibition law.

COMPASSION IS PUNISHED Official Gazette "Holds Up to Con- tempt of Future Generations" Names of Kind-Hearted People Who Gave Food and Water. BY JAMES W. GERARD. American Ambassador Jo the German Im perial Court. July 28. 1913, to February 4. 1917. (Copyright. 1917, by the Public Ledger Company.) It was the policy of the Germans to put some prisoners of each nation in each camp. This was probably so that no claim could be made that the pris oners from one nation among the allies were treated better or worse than the prisoners from another nation. In the beginning of the war the Ger mans were surprised by the great num ber of prisoners taken, and had made no adequate preparations for their re ception. Clothing and blankets were woefully wanting; so that I Immedi ately bought what I could in the way of underclothes and blankets at the large department-stores of Berlin and the wholesalers, and sent these to the camps where the British prisoners were confined. I also sent to the Doeberitz camp articles such as sticks for wounded men who were recovering and crutches and even eggs and other nour ishing delicacies for the sick. At first the prisoners were not com pelled to work to any great extent, but at the time I left Germany the 2.000.000 prisoners of war were materially as sisting the carrying on of the agricul ture and industries of the empire. The League of Mercy of New York having telegraphed me in 1914 asking in what way funds could best be used in the war, I suggested ln answer" that funds for the prisoners of war were urgently needed. Many newspapers poked fun at me for this suggestion, and one bright editor said if the Ger mans did not treat their prisoners prop erly they should be made to! John R. Mott Works tn Prisons. Of course, unless this particular edi tor had sailed up the Spree ln a canoe and bombarded the royal palace. I know of no other way of "making" the Ger mans do anything. The idea, however. of doing some work for the prisoners of war was taken up by the Young Men's Christian Association. Dr. John R. Mott was at the head of this work and was most ably and devotedly as sisted by the Rev. Archibald C. Harte. At only one town in Germany was any Interest in the fate of the prisoners of war evinced. This was, I am glad to y, in the quaint university town of Gottingen. I visited this camp with Mr. Harte, ln April of 1915, to attend the opening of the first Young Men's Christian Association camp building ln Germany. The camp was commanded by Colonel Bogen, an officer strict ln his discipline, but, as all the prisoners admitted, just in his dealings with them. There were, as I recall, about 7000 prisoners ln this camp Russian, French, Belgian and English. University Prison Camp Is Model. It is a pity that the methods of Colonel Bogen and his arrangements for camp buildings, etc., were not copied in other camps ln Germany, Here, as I have said, the civil popula tion took some interest ln the fate of the unfortunate prisoners within their gates, led ln this by several professors in the university. The most active of these professors was Professor Stange, who, working with a French lawyer who had been captured near Arras while in the Red Cross, provided i library for the prisoners and other wise helped them. Of course, these charitable acts of Professor Stange did not find favor with many of his fellow townsmen of Gottingen and he was not surprised when he awoke one morning to find that during the night his house naa Deen painted red, white and blue, the colors of France, Eng land and America. Things Not What They Seem. I heard of so many Instances of the annoyance of prisoners by the civil population that I was quite pleased one day to read a paragraph ln the official newspaper, the North German Gazette, which ran somewhat as follows: The following inhabitants of (nam ing a small town near the borders of Denmark), having been guilty of im proper conduct toward prisoners of war, have been sentenced to the fol lowing terms of imprisonment and to the following fines and their names are printed here ln order that they may be held up to the contempt of all future generations of Germans." And then followed a list of names and terms of imprisonment and fines. I thought that this was splendid, that the German government had at last been aroused to the necessity of pro tecting their prisoners of war from the annoyances of the civil population, and I wrote to our Consul at Kiel and asked him to Investigate the case. Compassion In Punished. From him I learned that some unfor tunate prisoners passing through the town (in a part of Germany Inhabited by Scandinavians), had made signs that they were suffering from hunger and thirst; that some of the kind-hearted people among the Scandinavian popu lation had given them something to eat and drink, and for this they were con demned to fines, to prison and to have their names held up to the contempt of Germans for all time. I do not know of any one thing that can give a better idea of the official hate for the nations with which Ger many was at war than this. The day after visiting the camp at Gottingen I visited the officers' camp, situated at the town of Hanover Mun den. Here about 800 officers, of whom only 13 were British, were confined in an old factory building situated on the bank of the river below the town. The Russian officers handed me some ar rows tipped with nails which had been shot at them by the kind-hearted lit tle town boys, and the British pointed out to me the filthy conditions of the camp. Officer Treated si Convicts. In this, as in unfortunately many other officer camps, the Inclination seemed to be to treat the officers not as captured officers and gentlemen, but as convicts. I had quite a sharp talk with the commander of this camp be fore leaving, and he afterward took violent exception to the report which I made upon hla camp. However, I am pleased to say that he reformed, as it were, and I was informed by my in spectors that he had finally made his camp one of the best in Germany. Much as I should have liked to, I could not spend much time myself in visiting the prison camps, many duties and frequent crises kept me ln Berlin, but members of the embassy were al ways traveling in this work of camp inspection. For soma time way reports were pub lished in Parliamentary "White P-l pers," but In the end our Government found that the publication of these re- pui ia irruaieu me je rm tuiia 10 bucu degree that the British government was requested not to publish them any more. Copies of the reports were al ways sent by me both to Washington and to London, and handed to the Ber lin Foreign Office. While Winston Churchill was at the head of the British Admiralty It was stated that the German submarine pris oners would not be treated as ordinary prisoners of war, but would be put ln a place by themselves on the ground that they were pirates and murderers and not entitled to the treatment accorded ln general to prisoners of. war. Great indignation was excited by this in Germany; the German government Immediately seized 87 officers, picking those whom they supposed were related to the most prominent 'amilles ln Eng land, and placed them ln solitary con finement. A few were confined ln this way in Cologne, but the majority were put in the ordinary jails of Magdeburg and Burg. As soon as I heard of this, accompa nied by Mr. Charles H. Russell, Jr., of my staff, I went to Magdeburg, using my ordinary pass for the visiting of prisoners. The German authorities told me afterward, if they had known I was going to make this visit that they would not have permitted it, but on this occasion the corps commander system worked for me. Accompanied by an adjutant in peace times a local lawyer from the corps commander's office ln Magdeburg, and other officers, I visited these British officers in their cells in the common Jail at Magdeburg. Confinement Ia Solitary. They were ln absolutely solitary confinement, each in a small cell about seven feet long and four feet wide. Some cells were a little larger, and the prisoners were allowed only one hour's exercise a day ln the courtyard of the prison. The food given them was not bad. but' the close confinement was very trying, especially to Lieutenant Goschen, son of the former Ambassa dor to Germany, who had been wounded and ln the hospital at Douai. Among them I found an old acquaintance. Captain Robin Grey, who had been often in New York. The German authorities agreed to correct several minor matters of which the officers complained, and then we went to the neighboring town of Burg, where other officers were confined In the same manner snd under similar conditions in the ordinary jail. After visiting these prisoners and obtaining for them from the authorities some modifications of the rules which had been established, we visited the regular officers' camp at Burg. Offleera' Prison Camp at Bur sr. This was at that time what I should ! call a bad camp, crowded and with no space for recreation. Later conditions were improved and more ground al lowed to the prisoners for games and recreation. At the time of my first visit I found that the commander, a polite but peppery officer, was in, civil life a Judge of the Supreme Court at Leipzig, the highest court in the em pire. As I had been a judge in the state of New York, we foregathered and adjourned for lunch with his staff to the hotel in Burg. After Churchill left the British Ad miralty his successor reversed his rul ing, and the submarine prisoners were placed In the ordinary confinement of prisoners of war. When the Germans were assured of this, the 37 officers who had been in reprisal placed in solitary confinement, were sent back to ordi nary camps. In fact, in most oases I managed to get the Germans to send them to what were called "good" camps. Lieutenant Goschen Released. Lieutenant Goschen, however, became quite ill and w;s taken to the hospital at Magdeburg. At the time of his cap ture the Germans had told me ln an swer to my Inquiries that he was suf fering from a blow on the head with the butt end of a rifle, but an X-ray examination at Magdeburg showed that fragments of a bullet had pene trated bis brain and that he was, there fore, hardly a fit subject to be chosen as one of the reprisal prisoners. I told Von Jagow that I thought it, ln the first place, a vlqlatlon of all diplo matic courtesy to pick out the son of the former Ambassador to Germany as a subject for reprisals, and. secondly, ln picking him that they had taken a wounded man; that the fact that they did not know he had fragments of a bullet in his brain made the situation even worse, because that ignorance was the result of the want of a proper examination ln the German hospitals, and I insisted, because of this mani festly unfair treatment, which had un doubtedly caused the very serious con dition of Lieutenant Goschen. that he should be returned to England ln the exchange of those who were badly wounded. I am pleased to say that Von Jagow aaw my point of view and finally secured permission for Lieutenant Go schen to leave for England. Dr. Ohnesorg, one of our assistant naval attaches, went with him to Eng land on account of the seriousness of his condition, and I am very glad to hear from his father that he arrived safely in London.
