THEATER PIGKETERS'
CASE BEFORE COURT
Hearing on Injunction to Re
strain Unions Begins.
HOT ARGUMENTS DEVELOP
Young. This dinner took the form of
an auld la rig syne affair, the veteran
firefighters indulging In reminis
cences. Virtually all of the men who
attended the dinner have been in the
fire department a Rood many years.
Those attending were City Commis
sioner Bigelow, Chief DowelL Assist
ant Chief Laudenklos. Acting Chief
Young. Battalion Chief Holden. Bat
talion Chief Grenfell, Captain Dillane
and Capiairi Heatik.
Chief fjowell returned to Portland
yesterday from a visit to the moun
tains. As yet Mr. Dowell has not de
cided on his future course, although
he said he was seriously considering
a business venture.
Years in the fire department make
it difficult for the chief to stay away
from the headquarters of the fire bu
reau or the firehouses. Yesterday he
spent most of the day visiting his
friends in the various firehouses. i
Mr. U'Kcn's Proposal That Jensen
& Von Heroers Be Made
Plaintiffs Protested.
The hearing of the owners of five
moving picture theaters in Portland
for a permanent Injunction to restrain
the unions from picketing their thea
ters opened yesterday afternoon be
fore Circuit Judge Tucker and further
arguments will be presented this
morning, beginning at 9:30 o'clock.
The temporary restraining order
removing the pickets two weeks ago
will remain in effect until the case is
decided.
Rather heated arguments developed
in yesterday's hearing after W. S.
U'Ren, one of the attorneys for the
moving picture employes' union, local
No. 159, moved that C, S. Jensen and
John J. Von Herberg be made parties
plaintiff to the suit.
Mr. U'Ren asserted that the People's
Amusement company, of which the
Star and People's theaters are parts,
the Liberty Theater corporation, the
Majestic Amusement company and the
Columbia Amusement company, were
all operated under the direction of
Jensen & Von Herberg, and that these
two men should be added as plaintiffs
In the case.
Motion In Protested.
The defendants make a most un
usual motion," said Dan J. Malarkey,
one of the attorneys for the moving
picture house owners. "Never before
have 1 heard of a defendant asking
that the plaintiffs go out and drive
someone else in as & plaintiff.
"No one can be a plaintiff unless he
wants to," said Mr. Malarkey. "Even
If an order were made out that Jen
tn and Von Herberg be made plain
tiffs in this case, no one can compel
them to sue anyone unless they want
to. The plaintiff must come in volun
tarily." Mr. U'Ren declared that the picket
ing of the theaters was peaceful and
that peaceful picketing is allowed.
No one was prohibited from entering
the theaters, he said, and the pickets
were silent. He held that if theater
employes do not liko the way in which
the employers trfat them the em
ployes have a perfect right to strike:
Strike Held Sympathetic
Mr. Malarkey said there was no con
troversy horo between employers and
employes, that the trouble arose in
Washington and that this was a sym
pathetic strike.
The attorneys for the moving pic
ture theaters were reading a decision
of the supreme ccurt of Texas in
"which peaceful picketing was not up
held when the court adjourned until
thii morning.
Mr. U'Ren and E. E. Petttngell are
attorneys for the union and Dan J.
Malarkey, John F. Logan and Arthur
L. Veazie for the employer.

Distributor s' Representative
Charges Dairy League Is in Con
trol of Situation in South.
Increase in the retail price of milk
sold in San Francisco to 17 cents a
quart, effective August 1. ie typical
of the future price of milk in Port
land, if the Oregon dairymen's co-operative
league gains complete control
of the milk situation, according to
C. M. Gregory, representing the Port
land milk distributors, who are en
gaged in a controversy with the
league officials.
The league of ficials are notinclined
to accept Mr. Gregory's version of the
Increase of milk prices in San Fran
cisco, saying that all the producers
desire in Oregon is a price for milk
which will cover production casts.
"In San Francisco," said Mr.
Gregory, "the league is in complete
control of the situation. As a result
of this monopoly the price is ad
vanced just 3 cents a quart higher
than the Portland price. However,
the price for butter fat, which is the
guiding price for milk, is $2.80 a
hundredweight, or approximately the
same as the price for butter fat in
Oregon."
Mayor Baker announced that he
would review all evidence gathered
by Deputy City Attorney Mackay
before he would make any announce
ment as to future action.
A milk commission will not be ap
pointed until Mayor Baker is certain
that all other measures have failed
and that a commission is necessary.
It is understood that Mayor Baker
will confer with Deputy Attorney
Mackay some time today.
TOURIST SEEKS GASOLINE
Motorist Says Fuel Is Bootlegged
in Seattle at Xlght.
"They have a new sort of boot
leggers in Seattle." volunteered a
tourist from the Puget sound city,
who yesterday appealed to the Port
land chamber of commerce for assist
ance in securing enough gasoline to
make the trip over the Columbia
highway.
"Some of the truck drivers up there
drain their tanks every night, and
sell the surplus thus acquired to less
fortunate automobile owners. It is
called bootlegging, and as I am un
able to secure gasoline at stations
here this afternoon in excess of two
gallons, I thought maybe a 'gas boot
legger' could be located."
These prices are low!

City Commissioners to Investigate
Roadway to Determine
' Its Safety.
"Terwilliger boulevard was never
Intended for an automobile highway,
nor for a main traveled highway.
When it was designed, it was for a
pleasure highway to accommodate
horse-drawn vehicles."
This was the statement of C. P.
Keyser. superintendent of parks, who
was the engineer in charge of the
construction of the boulevard. Re
cently Mayor Baker stated that he
believed the construction of this high
way was a "poor piece of engineer
lng."
"Statements to the effect that the
roadway is dangerous have been ex
aggerated," said Mr. Keyser. "I can
go over the highway on a wet day at
5 miles an hour with reasonable
safety. But I admit that, with the
boulevard linked with the Pacific
highway and the large amount of
travel, the curves on the boulevard
should be banked. Sufficient bar
riers have already been installed.
There are a number of bad places in
the boulevard. One in particular

City Commissioner Barbur, in charge
of the department of public works,
and City Commissioner Pier, in charge
of the park bureau, have been named
by Mayor Baker to make a thorough
Investigation of the roadway and to
report to the city council with recom
mendations.
