ABOUT STRIKE
Shea Threatens Revenge on
. Building Trades, Jut
Without Effect. ' '
STRIKERS' FUNDS FAILING
fend Between Teamsters and Build
ers Accompanies Riots In Chi
cago Lumber Dlstrlct--Army
of Police Employed.
CHICAGO. May 27. While numerous
small riots -were in progress today, both
In the downtown streets and in the lum
ber district, the leaders of the teamsters'
strike and the officials of the building
trades were engaged in quarrels of their
own.
The action of the building trades last
night In withdrawing from" the .teamsters
their financial and moral support angered
the teamsters, and they lost no time to
day In calling upon the representatives of
the bulldnig trades and demanding to
know what they meant by "going back"
on the teamsters in the thick of the tight,
It was mafie; plain to the teamsters that,
in the opllnon of the building trades, they
had overstepped their jurisdiction In
causing members of their union to do
constructive work. The particular- cause
of complaint was that teamsters employed
In handling safes and vaults had placed
them in buildings. This part of the work,
the building trades contend, belongs to
them.
President Shea, of the Teamsters' Union,
declared that he "would order out every
safe-mover and machinery-rigger in the
city on Monday morning, and stop work
on all buildings where the members of
the building trades are employed. No
attention was paid to thi9 threat by the
building trades representatives, and finally
a committee composed of Michael Casey
of San Franclsio, John Sheridan of Chi
cago and Edward Gould of New York, all
members of the executive council of the
teamsters, was appointed to confer with
the building trades on the matter of Jur
isdiction. No time was specified for the
meeting.
New Efforts at I'cacc Abortive.
Several new efforts were made during
the day to settle the strike, but none of
them amounted to anything. The Chicago
Teamowners' Association made another
effort to Induce the teamsters to arbi
trate the question of delivering goods to
boycotted houses. The Chicago Masons
and Builders' Association offered its ser
vices to arbitrate all things connected
with the strike. The offer was accepted
by the teamsters and acknowledged by
the employers, as all other similar propo
sltions have been, with the declaration
that there was nothing In the strike that
admitted of arbitration.
The labor leaders made another effort
to induce Vice-President Fairbanks to use
his good offices In settling the strike, and
a number of the members of the Team
owners' Association joined them In the
move. They were informed by the sec
retary of the Vice-President, however.
that he could not undertake to Interfere
in the matter.
Levy Mayer, attorney for the Employ
ers' Association, and James B. Barry,
business agent of the Express Drivers'
Union, both left Chicago for the East to
day. Neither man would state the ob
ject of his Journey. It was reported that
Mr. Mayer was to confer with the off!
cials of the express companies In an ef
fort to induce them to modify their stand
against the re-employment of their strlk
ing drivers, but he denied this, and de
clared that he knew that the "companies
would not recede from the position they
had taken. It was said of Mr. Barry's
object in going to New York that he was
planning to call out the express drivers In
other cities on a sympathetic strike un
less the Chicago drivers are reinstated
President Mulligan, of the express driv
en?, said:
"I -would not care to talk about the
report, I have heard of such a thing as
an effort to call out the drivers In other
cities. I understand that the drivers are
well organized In Boston, but I do not
know what Is the situation In New York."
The general opinion regarding the visit
of Mr. Barry is that he has gone East
for the purpose of securing financial aid
for his men. It Is admitted by the labor
leaders that a critical stage in the strike
is at hand.
Many Fights AVIth Police.
There were numerous fights between
the-police and strike sympathizers in all
parts of the city today, the majority being
scrimmages, however. In the lumber dis
trict. In one of the riots in this section, a
large number of women and children
made much trouble for the police by get
ting In front of them when they charged
upon the men who had been hurling mis
slles. One woman. Mrs. Anna Corcoran,
-was arrested as she stood with an arm
ful of brickbats, hurling them as fast as
she could at the police. One of them
struck Policeman Christopher Dressier on
the head, knocking off his helmet. He
made a rush for the woman and placed
her In the patrol wagon.
Police Inspector Lavln today arrested
Nicholas Rcichart, James Collins, John
H. Doberty and a man named Wahl, who
declined to give his first name, but Is
known as "Shoulders on the charge of
conspiring to slug H. F. Johnson, of the
Wclls-Fargo Company, and "V. F. Ellis,
superintendent of the city delivery de
partmcnt of the same company. Helen
art, alter being taken Into custody, con
fessed hl6 share in the matter, and his
statements led to the arrest of the other
three. All denied that they had been paid
to do the slugging.
The lumber steamer Oregg, while pass
Ing through the Archer-avenue draw, was
pelted with all kinds of missiles by
couple of hundred men who stood at the
approaches of the bridge. A. M. Con
nolly, who was at the wharf, suffered
fractured arm from a brick that hit him.
Captain Elliott escaped. He had noticed
the crowd before approaching the bridge
and warned the crew to hide beneath
the plies of lumber on deck. He said
afterward that fee had difficulty Jb re
straining hte men from rushing to tbe
UNION
cabin and stealing shotguns, with which
Xo reply to their assallaats. The-outcoe
of this affair will be that the police will
be compelled to put guards at approaches
to all bridges near the lumber district.
At Market and Randolph streets a seri
ous row occurred, many arrests were
made, and several severely cut and
bruised. "While Police Sergeant Allcock
was endeavoring to arrest John Dough
erty, motorman of an electric car, for
riotous conduct, the motorman nearly bit
oft one of the sergeant's fingers. In re
turn Dougherty was clubbed Into insensi
bility. Shea Is Breaking Down.
President Shea was not seen tonight and
his colleagues say that he has been very
sick all day and evening, the strain of
the strike work and his experiences In
court having caused almost a nervous
breakdown. However that may be, he
managed to get to the meeting of the
executive committee at the Briggs House
this evening. It Is understood at this
meeting It was decided that the execu
tive council, headed by Vice-President
Edward Gould, of New York, will take
charge of the management of strike af
fairs until Mr. Shea Is able to be around.
An armed forced of 7500 men, police and
deputy sheriffs, sold to be almost as- large
as the entire National Guard oi Illinois,
was In command of the strike situation
today. A call for troops seemed to be in
creasingly distant. In the lumber district,
according to Secretary Hooper, of the
Lumbermen's Association, ISO nonunion
teams were at work, and 200 experienced
lumber teamsters engaged in Duluth and
Minneapolis will be added to the force
by Monday.
Chief of Police O'Nell stopped hiring
extra policemen today, and .numbers of
colored men who swarmed Into his office
to be sworn ln were turned away. For
mal complaint against the swearing-in of
colored men as policemen was'made by
Attorney Sincere, of the Employers'
Teaming Company, the ground taken be
ing that the use of negro policemen as
guards for wagons would tend to incite
violence.
The response to the request for contri
butions from the country at large has. It
is alleged, not been up to expectations,
and with a dally expense of $10,000 finan
cial stringency may be the rock on which
the strike will be wrecked.
Cause cf Feud With Builders.
Inconsiderate action of teamsters to
ward carpenters, plumbers and other
members of unions affiliated with the
Associated Building Trades Council Is
said to have been the direct cause of
the action of the Building Trades- Council
in withdrawing moral and financial sup
port from the teamsters' strike.
The alleged affront of the teamsters
resulted In a strike of workmen con
structing the huge new office building of
the Chicago & Northwestern Railway.
Jackson Boulevard and Franklin street.
A number of vaults and safes had been
delivered at the building by union drivers.
who proceeded themae.ves to set the
safes. The other workmen struck, claim
ing that teamsters were not constructors.
and as a result this brought Instantly to
a focus a much-agitated question between
unions.
The Trades Council, to prevent further
action of this sort on the part of their
fellow unionists, voted to withdraw sup
port from the teamsters' strike.
Union Dethrones Shea.
The general executive board of the
Teamsters' Union has taken the man
agement of the strike out of the hands
of President Shea and it will be man
aged hereafter by the executive board
and the local strike, committee. After
assuming control the executive board
issued a statement which, with a few
unimportant omissions, is as follows:
At the meeting of the general executive
board of the International Teamsters' Union
general discussion of the present strike
was held, and It was decided unanimously
to continue the struggle along the same
lines with frequent conferences between the
general executive board and the local Joint
strike committee of the Teamsters Council
of Chicago. If at any time any change of
policy is decided upon it will be at once an
nounced. T e believe the strike should be
confined to Chicago and as few men in Chi
cago as Is possible. We are opposed to
spreading tho strike to any workingmen ex
cept teamsters.
The general executive board Is hope
ful that peace will soon be established,
but any peace must be on terms hon
orable to the strikers. However, there
is no intention on the part of' the ex
ecutive board or the joint strike com
mittee to have the strike arbitrated.

The above map shows the country and the waters adjacent to the present location of the RusMan and Japanese
fleets. The Russian fleet appears, to -have assembled at Woosung, the port at the mouth of the Yang-tse-Kiang River,
and at the Saddle Islands, 60 miles southeast of that port. There it seems to have some transports guarded by a few
cruisers, while it made the dash of -SCO miles across the mouth of the Yellow Sea to the Corcan Strait, by which It Is
entering the Japan Sea on Its way to Vladivostok. That strait is about ISO. miles wide.
Togo's fleet, according to the latest reports, none of which, however, are official, was at Ma-San-Pho, on the
Corcan side of the Corcan Strait.
The Russian fleet passed through the Tsugaru Strait, which Is between the Tsu and the Tsushima Islands. These
two groups of Islands are In the middle of the -Corcan Strait.
On one side of the Coreaa Strait the Japanese have the harbor of Ma-San-Pho. near Fusan. the terminus of the
railroad which they have been building along the center of the Corean "peninsula to WIJu. on the Yalu River. On
the other side is the great naval arsenal and dockyard at Sasebo. on the Island of Kjrushu. Directly opposite the
Tsushima Islands Is Shlmonoslkl, the mala point for the embarkation of troops ,for Manchuria," on-'the south end
of the Island of Nippon.
From this point the Russian fleet has to steam over 600 miles across the Sea of Japan in erder to reach Vladi

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,' "Wash
ington, May 27. The United States Gov
ernment today formally accepted title to
the right of way of The Dalles-Celilo Ca
nal., and early next' week Major Langfltt
will be Instructed to advertise for bids for
construction of the upper lock and ap
proaches, for which $300,000 was approprl
ated last session. Title to the right of
way was examined and approved some
weeks ago. Today the Attorney-General
examined the deed from' the state, and,
finding it regular, advised the Secretary
of War that he could, under the law, pro
ceed with construction of the canal.
This means that the work of construc
tion will commence early in the Summer,
and there Is money enough on hand to
continue It until Congress has an oppor
tunity to make a further appropriation.
If the original Intention is carried out,
the Oregon, Washington and Idaho dele

GRAZING IX XEW RESERVES
Xo Restrictions This Year Pending
Study of Conditions.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, May 27. The Secretary of Agri
culture todr.y Issued an order directing
that no restriction be placed upon the,
grazing of stock within new forest re
serves that have been or may be created
this year.
There has been considerable concern
among tho sheep and cattlemen of the
West on account of the creation of new
reserves, which include considerable areas
of what has heretofore been public range.
Many letters received by the department
indicate that stockmen fear they are to
be deprived of their range on short notice.
In Justice to these stock Interests, Secre
tary Wilson, on recommendation of the
Forestry Bureau, decided to Impose no
restrictions within the new reserves this
Summer.
However, Investigations are now being
made to determine how many sheep and
cattle may safely be admitted, and, based
on these investigations, restrictions will
be imposed next year, and a grazing sea
son will be set for each Individual reserve,
to be regulated by climatic and range
conditions. Today's order applies to new
reserves In Oregon and Idaho, and will
apply to new reserves soon to be estab
lished In these states and in Washing,
ton.
XO MONEY IX THE BUSIXESS
Steamship Lines Make Xo Bids for
Army Transport.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, May 27. Quartermaster-General
Humphrey calls attention to the fact that
the American steamship lines which a
year ago and two years ago were so
anxious to obtain all Government busi
ness between the Pacific Coast and Ma
nila, failed to submit any bids whatever
this year for the transportation of troops
and supplies. He considers this a strong
argument In support of his contention
that the Army transport service can han
dle this business cheaper than commercial
steamers. The fact that the latter do
not 1 anger desire the trade ls"to him an
indication that there Is no money la It
for them. . -
He will therefore make provision for
indefinite continuance of transports on
the Pacific General. Humphrey, always
believed the law requiring shipment of
Government supplies In American bot
toms was bad legislation, and worked to
the detriment of the Army.

WEAVER WINS GAS WAR
(Continued From Page 1.)
sitlons being discussed from a business stand
point. th facts belns open to those who
cared to Investigate, there has been Utile
but bitter denunciation. The manner In
which the whole subject has been treated In
duces this company to believe that the com
munity Is much opposed to any extension of
tne lease on any terms. This beins so. the
company Is unwilling to accept the ordinance
mat nas Deen passed or to enter Into any
contract whatsoever with the city looklnsr to
any extension or tne term or the present
lease. The UMted Gas Improvement there
fore respectfully advises the Council that
for the reasons above, should the pending
orainanc- become a Jaw. It will, not be ac
cepted by it
In Just what manner the. lease will
be allowed to die is not yet determined,
The suggestion has. been made, how
ever, that, when. the Councils meet on
Thursday, the Mayor will bo asked to
return the .ordinance, when- the action
taken on It can be rescinded.
Injunction Suits. Go On.
The withdrawal of the United Gas
Improvement Company's offer Is un
doubtedly a signal victory for Mayor
Weaver in his fight against the "or
ganization," though it does not mean
the end of the battle. The Injunction
proceedings brought by David Smythe,
ex-Director of Public Safety, and Peter
E. Costello, ex-Director of Public
Works, against Mayor W;air and
their successors, Colonel Sheldon Pot
ter and Lincoln Acker, to restrain the
Mayor's appointees from conducting
the affairs of the two departments, Is
still to come up for argument, and the
leaders will make a determined effort
to have the temporary injunction made
permanent The temporary Injunction
Issued by the Common Fleas Court was
rendered Inoperative by a write .of su
persedeas procured by the aor's
counsel from the Supreme Court. Chief
Justice Mitchell, of the higher court.
has. however, sent the case back to
the lower court for argument, and the
supersedeas Is In effect only until the'
question of Injunction has heert" de
cided by -that tribunal.
In answer to questions, Mr. Durham,
leader of the organization, said:
We have no statements whatever
to make In regard to the withdrawal
of the new gas lease by the United Gas
Improvement Company." The leaders
left for Atlantic City, N. J., tonight,
and a conference will be held there to
consider plans for future moves.
Triumph for People.
Mayor Weaver said:
"I consider this a great triumph for
the people. I have not yet considered
how this will affect local or state poli
tics. I may add that I have not yet
considered whether the fight will be
continued or not"
It was announced by the Judge of
the Common Pleas Court that the hearing-
of the injunction proceedings
would be postponed from Monday until
Wednesday on account of the death of
Justice Deane, of the State Supreme
Court
General satisfaction was expressed
throughout the city when it became
generally known that the gas lease of
fer had been withdrawn. Mass meet
ings which had been arranged in "many
wards to protest against the lease
were largely attended, and the Mayor's
victory was the subject of all the ad
dresses. Three Guilty of Wife-Murder.
JACKSON, Tenn., May 27. (Special.)
Unless Governor Cox Intervenes the Sher

A. if. Miles were sentenced to die on
that day. AH the three men given the

boy's legs to burst a seam in a
Kantwearout-Hercules" Suit.
All the seams are double stitched
with heavy silk thread.
In the pants where the strain
is the greatest the seat and leg
seams are covered on the inside
with a strong band of linen tape;
when a boy stretches his legs
this tape receives the strain, in
stead of the thread in the seam
and the cloth.
Most makers might think this
tape binding would strengthen Ihe
pants enough but we don't; we line
every pair of "Hercules" pants wilh
the best quality cold-shrunk Irish
Linen. If you could buy a pair of
boys' pants made of boiler iron they
wouldn't stand the strain any. bet
ter than "Hercules" pants.
Every thread in a "Hercules" is
WOOL; there Is just as much cot
ton In a "Hercules" suit as in tho
leather of which your shoes ars
made.
Rain-proof, moth-proof.perspiration-proof
and .thorougly Hygienic and
Sanitary.
"Hercules" two-piece Knee-Pants
Suits for Boys 6 to 16 years.
