PROPOSAL FOR INDUSTRIAL
PEACE.
In order to promote the welfare of
this prosperous city and community by
a more certain degree of peace and
amity In the industrial field, we sug
gest that these bodies (Citizen's Alli
ance and employers' organisations) take
steps to institute euch co-operation as
will insure lair and open discussion of
all differences, provide for and maintain
an educational work to be participated
in by practical, impartial and expe
rienced speakers from, all sides of the
Issue, and. In short, to take whatever
.stepo seem best for the dicsemlnatlon of
light upon the questions at issue within
the industrial arena, and lor the speedy .
and fair adjustment of all differences
between employers and, employes as
they may arise.
The members of the Portland Federated
Trades Council nave become Imbued with
the spirit of arbitration and wish to form
an arbitration committee her to which
shall be submitted all matters of dispute
that may in the future arise between
employer and employe. The committee is
to be conducted on the plan of The Hague
tribunal and is to be given power to de
cide disputes and dictate the terms of set
tlement.
A document hag been prepared by the
council for submission to the various em
ployers associations of the city. It shows
the attitude of the council and states, the
position of the labor unions.
The paper, after reviewing the question
at length, asks the associations to select
a committee which shall meet with the
committee of the Federated Trades Coun
cil to devise ways and means. From the
work of this joint committee is to spring
the conference committee or arbitration
board, which is to have jurisdiction in all
labor troubles which may come In the
future.
To Call Citizens' Alliance.
W. C Francis, president of the Citizens
Alliance, received a copy of the document
last night and will call a meeting of the
executive board of his organisation the
latter part of the week for its consid
eration. "When asked his opinions con
cerning the move, Mr. Francis declined
to talk for publication. He had not, in
the first place, had sufficient time to
digest the letter, but would not have de
sired to make a public statement in any
event before he had submitted the mat
ter to the discussion of his cxecutltve
board.
There were many reasons why Mr.
Francis did not like to talk on the sub
ject at this time. He did not desire to
forestall his associates in any opinion, and.
he did not know in what light the mat
ter would be considered by associate or
sanitations along the Coast. There are
various alliances and other organizations
which are working in harmony with the
Portland association of "business men, and
it was not wise, In the estimation of Mr.
Francis, to make any definite statement
before these organizations had been con
sulted, or the full opinion of the members
of the Portland body was known and
expressed.
Manufacturers to Discuss Project.
R. J. Holmes, president of the Manu
facturers' Association, was of a similar
mind with Mr. Francis. He had received
the letter from the council, but had not
as yet considered It. There would be a
meeting of the association on Monday
night, at which time the matter would be
brought up and discussed at length by the
members of the association, but until
that time he did not wish to make any
statements for publication, especially, as
he had not had time to study the prop
osition made by the Trades Council.
The document as submitted to the vari
ous organizations is as follows:
Letter of Union Men.
To the Citizens Alliance, the Manufac
turers' Association and all other em
ployers' organizations of the City of
Portland:
Gentlemen The Federated Trades Coun
cil, representing the many bodies of or
ganized labor In this city, sends greeting
to your organizations and asks your con
sideration and early reply to the follow
ing: Whereas, Organization, being the only
effectual way of securing the considera
tion of public sentiment, and the strength,
force and unity of action necessary to
compel recognition of the social Injustice
which la rife upon every hand, it has
behooved us in the past, as It behooved
you later, to take the step you must have
eventually taken, and organize.
"Whatever may be the stated or implied
purposes of your organizations, we should
be charitable enough to admit that they
like every other association of sane be
ingswere Instituted for the purpose of
correcting or trying to correct certain
seeming phases of social and economic in
justice, as well as to secure for you a
more certain protection from the many
and devious methods of competition In
the Industrial world of today.
While there is no reliable exponent of
labor organization who is not conscious
of the many inconsistencies and their of
ten dire Tesults, as a consequence of mis
judgment, baste, mistaken zeal, etc.. yet
they recognize these to be the inevitable
occurrences of all organized bodies, to
some extent, at least, and one and all
believe that solely through organization
and its concurrent enlightenment, labor
has been elevated to the high plane it
row holds In the most advanced nations
of the world.
Two Sides to Labor Question.
The experiences of your organizations
must have .shown you era this that there
are not only two. but many sides, to the
issues we are all seeking to solve. In
deed, you must have learned that the
solving is only to be attained In a con
stant, -sincere and honest willingness to
meet, discuss and adjust every question of
difference as they arise from day to day
knowing that they must constantly arise
and as constantly call for the very best
there is in men to settle them most per
manently. Those" who have given even casual study
to the great Industrial questions of the
time cannot help but believe the organi
zation of employers to be fraught with
positive assurances of better relations be
tween employer and employe, for this
ft the certain racult of organisation. When
the individual yields his personal wishes
to those of an organization he is forced
to study the comparative rights of hi
associates within the organisation. The
petty contests between members and fac
tions within the organization represent a
phase of the greater contest between op
posing organizations, and the result of It
all Is true education as to the rights of
all parts of human society.
Ignorance Is Costly.
The reverse of all this is but ignorance,
and this it is which causes all the dis
graceful and costly procedure incident to
all such troubles. Ignorance of one's pos
itive duty to society a duty each must
perform at some time Is what causes the
haughty, bigoted, inhuman attitude that
he "has nothing to arbitrate."
In view of all this, and in order to pro
mote the welfare at this prosperous city
and community by a more certain degree
of peace and amity In the industrial field,
we suggest that these bodies take steps
to institute such co-operation as will In
sure fair and open discussion of all differ
ences, provide for and maintain an edu
cational work to be participated in by
practical, impartial and experienced
sneakers from all sides of the Issue, and.
in short, to take whatever steps seem best
ior tne aisseminauon or ugnt upon xne
questions at Issue within the industrial
arena, and for the speedy and fair ad
justment of all differences between em
ployers and employes as they may arise.
We are sure such a programme Would
receive the hearty approval of every one
and that material encouragement would
be forthcoming from all sides, because it
would promise enlightenment, the only
real source of peaceful adjustment.
Call for Fair Methods.
Methods that have characterized the
past have served the purposes of the past.
The future calls for better ones more
peaceful ones, more honest ones methods
based on the degree of public understand
ing which has resulted from the strug
gles of the past.
In order to set such a movement in mo-
tion at once, we suggest the appointment
. of a committee of your very best men, to
meet a similar committee xrom uus oody,
for the purpose of devising ways and
means and perfecting plans. Such com
mittees snouja De cnarged that this work
Is a serious one a work fraught with
Inconceivable good to this city and coun
try if entered into with perfect candor
and honesty but with corresponding evil
if the parties to It are insincere or prompt
ed by the baser considerations of business
design and pecuniary gain.
Firmly believing you will give this your
carciui consmerauon, ana tnat we may
soon have a favorable answer, we are.
Yours for the welfare of our city and
her citizens.

C0BDRAY TO BUILD THEATER
Will Erect Playhouse to Accommo
date Popular-Priced Attractions.
Before the Lewis and Clark Exposi
tion Is well under way, Portland will
have a magnificent new playhouse,
owned and managed by John F. Cord
ray, which will be known as Cordrays
Theater, thus perpetuating the name
of one of the host-known places on the
Pacific Coast. It will be of brick and
steel construction, and as nearly fire
proof as it can be made. Its seating
capacity will be not less than 2200, and
it will be modern In every respect. Mr.
Cordray was the pioneer in the popular
price theatrical business . here and has
been prominently identified with Port
land for the past 16 years. He has
been remarkably successful la catering
to the public and the announcement
that he will build a new theater here
is a practical guarantee that the ven
ture will succeed. He entered the local
field when all traveling combinations,
good, bad and indifferent, were played
in 'ortiana at prices ransrinjr from tl
to J2. He revolutionized the theatrical
business here and in addition to mak;
ing a fortune has built up a clientele
which Is loyal enough to support any
tneater wltn which he is identified. In
view of this fact Mr. Cordray has had
a number of sites for the proposed new
tneater offered to him. and while he
has practically decided which one he
will accept he declines to state where
the new Cordray will be located. The
plans have been completed by a local
nrm 01 arcnitects ana provide lor a
very large and thoroughly first-class
theater. The policy of the house will
be similar to that of the old Cordray's
and the Stair & Havlin attractions will
be presented at popular prices. The new
tneater will be commenced within a
few weeks and will be completed be
fore the middle of next Summer in time
for the Fair business.
In the meantime Mr. Cordray an
nounces that the Stair-Havlin shows
will give Portland tho go-by and that
probably no attempt will be made to
play those attractions. Mr. Cordray has
tnree years contract with Stair &
Havlin for the sole Portland Tights to
tneir productions. There Is a report
current, however, that negotiations
are in progress between Mr. Cordray
and S. Morton Cohn. owner of the Star,
to put on tne rest of tne season s book
ings at the Star until the now theater
Is ready for occupancy. The Star seats
900 people, and the stage Is said to be
large enough to mount any of the
hows booked. In the event that this
sort of an arrangement-should be made.
there would probably be dally matinees
at the Star and It Js estimated-that the
house could do In the neighborhood of
$3000 a week.
Mr. Cordray announces that Blanche
Bates in "The Darling of the Gods"
and a number of other big independent
attractions which have been booked
for Cordray's, will probably be ac
commodated as per contract. The the
ater is to be known In the future as
"The Grand," and will be devoted to
vaudeville, but the Sullivan-Considlne
management will probably handle the
big: independent shows during the time
for which they have been booked. John
W. Cohsidine, the general manager of
the circuit to which the Grand will he-
Jong, 1 expected in Portland, today to
arrange ior opening tne house to vau
deville, a week from Monday.
GIVES JIANKING- TWO DAYS.
Attorney Lord Determined to Get
Warrant for Sheriff's Arrest.
"I saw Mr. Manning this afternoon. I
told him that he would have to issue a
warrant for the arrest of Sheriff Tom
Word on Monday or Tuesday or take tha
consequences."
This was the statement of Attorney
Lord, appearing in damage suits instituted
against Sheriff word by several leading
Chinamen as a result of the Sheriffs re
cent raid on the strong doors.
"If no warrant Is issued by noon Mon
day," continued Mr. Lord, "I will go to
Mr. Manning's ofUco with witnesses. I
will also have the demolished door taken
there, and I will lay before the District
Attorney conclusive evidence. According
to the statutes, he will then be compelled
to Issue the warrant, and If he does not
he will himself be prosecuted."
Aside from this ultimatum delivered to
the District Attorney by Attorney Lord
yesterday, there is nothing new In the
Chinese case. Everything awaits the re
sult of the clash between the District At
torney and Mr. Lord. The Chinamen are
determined to push the case to the ut
most, and Attorney .Lord says he will not
leave a stone -unturned in his proceedings
against Sheriff Word.

Three Men Fight Through
Crowd to Escape,
CAtfGHT IN ACT OF ROBBERY
After Entering Room Occupied by
Two Cefored Giris, Assailants Are
Compelled to Battle to Re
gain the Street.
Pursued by a crowd of over 30 negroes
Charles Wilson, colored, and two white
men last night fought their way from tho
Clarendon House, at Second and Everett
streets, to the Steel bridge, where they
escaped after threatening their pursuers
with death. Wilson was afterward ar
rested by Detective Weiner, but the white
men, whose names are unknown to the
police, are still at large.
The chase, which occurred at -7:5
o'clock last night, resulted from one of
the boldest attempts at criminal assault
and robbery ever perpetrated In Portland.
Two colored girls. Belle Baker, aged 21
years, and Jennie Smith, aged 24, were
the victims. The Smith woman was ter
rlbly beaten during a fight In the room of
Belle Baker, and several negroes received
cuts and bruises in the fray which fol
lowed.
Woman Possessed Jewels.
The Baker woman, who is well known
to Wilson, recently received a consider
able sum of money, left by her grand
father, and spent the greater part of it
buying diamond rings. Wilson evidently
knew of the jewels and planned a dlabpli
cal crime to get possession of them.
Last evening at 7 o'clock Wilson went
to Belle Baker's room In the Clarendon
House and asked the girl to spend the
evening with him. She refused, and he
departed. Soon afterward Jennie Smith
came Into the room to visit with Belle
Baker. She had not been In the room
very long when the two heard steps in
the hall near tho door. Belle Baker who
was lying on the bed while talking to the
Smith woman, raised up in time to sb
the door of the room open and Wllsixi,
followed closely by two white men, enter.
"What do you want?" she screamed.
"We've got you now," came the answer
from Wilson.
Fought Assailants Off.
As he spoke he grabbed Belle Baiter,
who rolled over the bed. grasped a police
whistle lying on the washstand and rushed
to the window. Before she could raise the
window one of the white men grasped her
and attempted to drag her away. She
tried to fight him off. at the same time
screaming and attempting to blow the
whistle. Jennie Smith, who tried to get
from the room, was knocked down and
brutally beaten by Wilson.
Belle Baker finally manged to blow the
whistle, and several negroes who happen
ed to be In tho house started to run
through the hall toward the room. This
frightened the three men. who dashed to
ward the door and Into the hall. As they
did so one of the white men picked up
the Baker woman's purse, took'a $5 gold
piece from it and threw It on the floor.
The other attempted to get a diamond
ring from the finger of the Baker woman,
but was unable to do so as ahe was Strug'
gllng and the ring fitted her finger too
tightly.
Crowd Came to Rescue.
When the three men dashed Into the
hall they ran into a crowd of about 15 ne
groes Instantly Wilson nourished a knife
and the white men fought the crowd back
with their fists. In this manner they
fought to the stairway, closely followed
bv the negroes and the two women. They
dashed down the stairs and turned north
on Second street, the crowd, which was
ran idly Increasing in size. In close pur
suit. Belle Baker herself took up the
chase, blowing the police whistle con
tinually. The pursuers dropped out of the
race one bv one. and when the Steel
brdse was reached only five were left
The men started to make for the railroad
tracks, threatening the negroes with death
If they followed. Not knowing whether
the men were armed or not, the negroes
returned, and the matter was reported to
the police. No officer was near enough to
answer the summons or tne wnisue.
In the race toward the bridge Wilson
managed to slip away from the crowd.
When Detective Weiner answered the po
lice call from the station he found Wil
son In Thornton's saloon, in the same
buildlnjr where the attempted assault oc
curred. He was Immediately placed under
arrest, and on examination admitted tnat
he was in the woman's room, "but refused
to give the names of the white men who
were with him. He was positively identi
fied by both of the women.
Jennie Smith was badly bruised in her
fight with Wilson, and Carl Johnson, a
negro, was slightly cut In the arm by the
knife which Wilson used In tho fight In
the hall. Others of the party received
hard knocks 'during the encounter. De
tectives Day and Weiner had not located
the white men at an early hour this
morning.

Bold Thief Has to Answer to Two
Charges of Larceny.
A. J. Leonard, alias Thatcher, was ar
rested at 8 o'clock last night at Third
and Burnslde streets by Officer Endicott,

that ho was taking into custody one of
'the boldest thieves that has worked In
Portland for years.
Yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock Leon
ard entered the room of Gabnelle Baure
Julgnon in the Owl saloon, and took
therefrom a gold watch, & pair of .scissors,
some old coins and half a dozen silk

to the police, and a description of Leon

place and was suspected of the crime,
was placed in the hands of the officers on
the first night relief.
Last night Officer Bndlcott saw Leon
ard at a lunch wagon on Second and
Burnslde streets and took him Into cus
tody. When the police station was
reached. Jacob Goehring, bartender at

tain Moore the loss of an overcoat. When
04"cer Endicott entered with Leonard,
Goehring turned to see wno naa come
into the room.
There's my overcoat now! he ex-
claixaed. .
The coat was on Leonard's back, and
Goehrtag Immediately entered a complaint

found on his person the watch, scissors,
coins and handkerchiefs taken from the
room of Gabnelle Baurejuignon. He ad

mediately recognized the check as similar
to the two bogus checks passed on his
firm the Saturday night before, and
while SegU talked with Wade, Shafer
Journeyed to the Police Station and re
ported the case. Detective Weiner went
at once to the store and took Wade into
custody. It wag afterward determined
through a representative of the Bridal

RISKS LIFE TQ STOP RUNAWAY
E. Goshorn Has Exciting Experience
With Frightened "Horses.
By a sharp struggle with two unman
ageablc, terrified horses, E. Goshorn, i
bookkeeper In Meier & Frank's depart
ment store, yesterday stopped a very seri
ous runaway, and almost lost his life be
fore he succeeded.
Goshorn, who Is a man of 40 years, was
walking up Sixth street, near Hall, short
ly after 6 o'clock, when he saw one of
the heaviest delivery wagons belonging
to the firm for which he works come
thundering down the roadway, swinging
from side to side, while one of the horses
which had broken Its bridle was shaking
Its head madly to free Itselfi frightening
Itself and the other horse also to a greater
and greater pitch. The wagon had come
from Sixth and Sherman streets.
There was only one way to stop the
runaway to Jump In the back of the
swaying wagon. Goshorn accomplished
this feat, and crawling over the stoves
and other hardware Inside, reached for
the reins and found that they were loose
and useless, as the off horse had, by this
time, shaken himself completely free from
the bridle.
With the wild horses plunging faster
and faster, Goshorn stepped on the jerk
ing wagon pole, and balancing himself
by their lurching backs, grasped for their
saddles and saved himself from their
heels. But he found the one horse was
completely beyond his control, so, jerk
ing savagely, he threw the other close
into -the curb, dragging the other after.
The strain on the horse's mouth guided
him to The right, and the wagon swung
around tho corner Into Harrison street.
the horses staggering to hold their feet.
The momentary control given by this
turn gave Goshorn his opportunity, and
by drawing the horse's head till his neck
was bent, he ran the team into the side-
wait and brought it to a stop.

WHY HE WAS WHIPPED
D. C. COPLEY TELLS OF GOVERN
OR PEABODY'S DEFEAT.
The Election of a Democrat, He Says,
Is Due to the Arbitrary Action
Against Miners' Union.
D. C. Copley, chairman of the executive
board of the Western Federation of Min
ers, accompanied by J. D. Glass, Is in the
city for a few days visit. The gentlemen
have just finished a IS weeks tour of the
West in the Interest of the Western Fed
eration of Miners, the immediate object
of the trip being to raise, funds for the
use of the wives and families of the de
ported miners of the Cripple reek and
Victor districts by giving Illustrated lec
tures showing the scenes and Incidents of
the recent troubleS'ln that country be
tween the mineowners and the workers.
Their campaign will close tonight with a
lecture at Arlon Hall, and the travelers
will leave the first of the week for San
Francisco.
Mr. Copley is a well-known labor leader
of, Colorado and has been Identified with
the miners' organizations of the state for
the past 16 years, and has, as stated by
his companion, left his autograph In every
bullpen erected In all that time. Ho Is a
man deeply interested jn the welfare of
the miner and one who has struggled long
to tenefit the condition of that class of
people. Last night be talked very inter
estingly of the trouble In Colorado and
discussed the effect It had had on the
politics of the state.
"The defeat of Governor Peabody." said
Mr. Copley, "is directly due to his atti
tude and effort In the trouble between
the miners and their employers. That this
Is true 13 shown by the fact that Mr.
Peabody is the only one on the Republican
ticket who was defeated, and he ran 25,000
behind his ticket. Roosevelt was elected
by 15,000 plurality. The House of Repre

Peabody was defeated by an overwhelm
ing majority. The Democratic candidate
was not the strongest that the party could
have put up for the race, and he was
not elected on account of his popularity,
but because all of the people wished to
administer a severe slap at Governor
Peabody and his plan of administration.
"Governor Peabody," continued Mr.
Copley, "has always seemed to be against
the labor organizations. When he was a
Mayor In his home town he bad con
tinual trouble with the labor interests in
public work that was done by and under
the direction of the city.
"When the trouble with the miners first
broke out in Colorado City and the troops
were sent to that place by the Governor,
the Council of the city and the City Mar
shall met in special session and drew up
a petition to the Governor asking that
the troops be removed from the city. This
petition was circulated, and in six hours
had been signed by every business man in
the city. It was presented to the Gov
ernor by a member of the Legislature
and had no more effect than if It had not
been seh.
"In Cripple Creek and in "Victor the
same conditions prevailed. There was no
trouble and no need of troops. The' citi
zens protested, but it had no effect. When
in June a band of innocent men was de
ported by a mob and on reaching Denver
the men asked for protection, which they
should have been accorded under the
Constitution, they were refused admis
sion to the Governor, either in person or
by committee or legal representative.
"The people of the state, Irrespective of
party, were turned against the Governor
by his severe and arbitrary policy. They
also remember that they have to pay
more than 51,000,000 In taxes, caused by
the special expenses of the military rule.
All those things were remembered, not
alone by the miner and the laboring man,
but by the people In general, those who
like to see fair play and an even chance.
It was this feeling that defeated the Re
publican nominee for Governor and placed
one lone Democrat in office at the head
of the Colorado commonwealth."
