Biff Seattle Shipping Firm Grants Men's Demands. SAN FRANCISCO. June 24. Possl fetllty of the extension of the greneral Pacific Coast longrshoremen's strike to other trades became more definite to day with the adoption of resolutions tendering; moral and financial support to the strikers by the Building Trades Council. Similar action is to be taken by the San Francisco Labor Council, which also announced that It would call upon Governor Hiram Johnson to force the strikebreakers and gruards hired by the employers to disarm. The Waterfront Workers' Federation, which includes the stevedores and marl- time unions, has withheld promise of sympathetic strikes, however, pending: efforts at settlement of the strike. .Settlement Hope Given. Hope of a settlement of the long shoremen's strike was strong- early to day on the streng-th of a statement of Michael Casey, vice-president of the teamsters' union, that the Waterfront Workers' Federation will present to the longshoremen a plan which, if accepted, would end the strike immediately. Casey is a delegate to the Waterfront Workers' Federation, which met the executive board of the Pacific Coast district of the longshoremen's union today. Union stevedores were at work In Seattle and San Francisco on the ships of Individual companies not members of the waterfront employers' unions which have agreed to the union de mands. Vessels belonging to the War or Navy departments also were loaded by union men. Two strikebreakers at Oakland, Cal. were beaten by strike sympathizers, but elsewhere there were no acts of violence. The Waterfront Employers' Union of Ban Francisco has recruited upwards of 300 strikebreakers, mostly negroes, JapaneM Await Instructions. The steamer Nippon Mara, of the Toyo Kisen Kaisha. a Japanese com pany, which was due to sail today for tne urient, remained at her dock, un able to leave without her cargo. This company Is awaiting word from Japan before making a settlement with the strikers. The San Francisco & Port land Steamship Company announced today that it had suspended its sched ule of sailings pending a settlement of the strike. The Toyo Klsen Kaisha Company had granted all the demands of the union men. but nevertheless the latter quit the company's docks because It is a member of the Waterfront Employers' Union. The Japanese steamer Hokkai Mara arrived here today from Otaru. Japan, with 1.017,000 feet of hardwood, which strike conditions forbade discharging at San Pedro. The cargo will be un loaded here and shipped back to San Pedro by rail. FREIGTT REFUSAL IS PUZZLE Astoria Wonders at Attitude of Great Xorthern Pacific Line. . ASTORIA, Or., Juno 24. (Special.) Jxcally the situation in connection with the longshoremen's strike is little changed. Freight was placed on the steamer Northern Pacific before she sailed to day, but that lino has announced it will receive no more freight either north or southbound. Its steamers are, how ever, to run on regular schedules, car rying passengers. The Great Northern, Pacific Steam ship Company is not under the ban of the longshoremen, as it is not a member of the Waterfront Employers' Association, so Just why the company has decided to accept no freight is somewhat of a puzzle here. The only lumber vessels in this dis trict being loaded by longshoremen are the schooners Forest Home and Jlonoipu at estport. The steamer Necanieum, which arrived this morn lng at the Hammond mill, is being loaded by its own crew and the mill Bang. The steam schooner Daisy fin ished loading lumber at Knappton this afternoon and sailed for San Pedro via fan Francisco. It is expected she will tie up at the latter port. Xv.i i , ? ' v . t...... a r- men of their own that they wished to have sworn in. "It is not my duty to break the strike, but to see that order is maintained. This I will do. I have spoken to the longshoremen and they have said that they will not start anything," Mr. Pettlt said. HIGHWAY DAY SET APART Portland Delegation Is Invited to Thursday's Celebration. ASTORIA.

The execu tive committee of the Independent Or der B'nai B'rith, at the conclusion of two days' session yesterday, voted not to participate In the proposed con ference or congress of various Jewish organizations to consider the situation of the Jews as the result of the war. The order decided, however, to appoint a commission of two or more members to visit the European countries and place before the representatives of the various governments the claim of the Jwish people for equal civil and polit ical rights. The committee decided not to par ticipate in the conference because as an international organization it could not. in the spirit of its constitution, commit the European membership to the action of an assemblage composed of American Jews exclusively. FACULTY TO BUILD SILO MR. AND MRS. WILLIAM K. DICK. Mrs. Astor. widow of Cofonel John Jacob Astor, was married to William K. Dick, a childhood chum, at Bar Harbor. June 22. Mrs. Astor and Mr. Dick have been lifelong friends, but the an nouncement of their intended marriage was a great surprise to society and their friends. Mr. Dick is 29 and is the president of the Manufacturers' Trust Company and is active in many other big business ventures. His fortune is estimated at about $5,000,000. Mrs. Astor sacrifices by her marriage the income of a $5,000,000 trust fund and the use of the Fifth-avenue hous e. Mrs. Astor was the second wife of Colonel Astor and was a bride of only seven months when she embarked from Southampton on the White Star liner Titanic bound on its maiden Western voyage. Colonel Astor was 1 ost and his widow was brought to port on the Carpathia. Not very long af terward her son, John Jacob Astor III, was born and her whole attention has been centered in the child since. Be fore her marriage she was Miss Madeline Force.

SKATTLE LIXE MAKES TERMS AYaterliouse Company Grants De mands and Villous ltesnme Work. SEATTLE, Wash., June 24.

General Leonard Wood's address on1 preparedness delivered by long distance telephone to me members of the Port-r land. ChamDer of Commerce from Gov ernor's Island, near New York, was re ceived in full text by W. J. Phillips, division commercial superintendent of the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Company, last night. The one difficulty that arose in the entire demonstration Friday night was a temporary wire trouble, which pre vented the audience from receiving a portion of General Wood's address. Ac cordingly Mr. Phillips had it tele graphed in full from New York. OraTanlxation I Keynote. General Wood spoke as follows: "The great question of the hour here is preparedness and all who are inter ested In the .welfare of the United States are asking what lessons will America draw from the great war. Will Bhe have the foresight and the wisdom to learn from the experience of others and from the evidence of things going on under our eyes, or must she pay in blood and treasure for -experience learned after trouble is upon us? It must be perfectly clear to all who are intelligently appreciative of the con dition of the world today as to organi zation, whether for good or evil, that we must organize and prepare to de fend those things which we think worth defending. Never before in tbe world's history has National organization ieen so thorough and far-reaching as today. Of the great nations, China and our selves are the only exception., to the general rule. "We all believe in arbitration, we are all anxious for world's peace, but unless we are blind to facts we must realize that arbitration is not of gen eral application and that world's peace is still far away. All this may be and is unfortunate, but is nevertheless true and we must deal with the facts as they are, rather than govern actions by the- unattainable, at least for the present. .r Need of Derense Seen. "The question as to the need of pre paredness comes down to a rather simple one. Have we anything worth defending? The country, religion, in stitutions, convictions, family, or, in a word, anything? Do we intend to defend them? Have we the equipment. organization and training to do it Are we intelligent enough to realize that without organization, training, equipment and trained leadership we cannot meet just as good men just as we are morally, physically and Intel lectually, who, in addition, have what we have not, organization, training, equipment and trained leadership? "It is a very simple proposition. No business man would think for a m ment of entering into a competition on which everything depended without some forethought and organization, some preparation. Thuj proposition is simply a peace Insurance, a preventa tive of war. No one wants war. least of all those who know anything about It. "We want a good Army and Navy and a National Guard which is 'Na tional' and not 'state.' It is the sys tem under which it operates and not the men or the officers of the Guard whom we criticise. They have done all they can under an impossible sys tern. - "Behind- the Army ana National Guard must be a large force of trained reserves, so that in case of need such as confronts us today, for instance, the thousand men which every infantry regiment of the Guard and most in the Army needs to bring It to full strength could be promptly supplied. Trained Citizenry Emphasised. "But in addition to our Army and National Guard we need a trained citi zenry and a large body of reserve of ficefs. These we-can get without de parting too far from our traditions through the employment of a system similar to that of Australia, or that of Switzerland. This would give us bet ter citizens physically, from the train ing; morally, from the discipline: eco nomically, from the combination of both, and more law abiding. It will work for National solidarity. It will be tremendous for fusing the various unassimilated elements which make up our population into -one homogeneous mass of real Americans; it will be the one thing which we do all together, at the same time. "For the country, it will be a tre mendous influence toward eradicating the distinctions between creeds, social classes and National groups. It will tend to make America, what she must be a real melting pot. It will tend to build up an appreciation on the part of each and every one of us of the fact that with equality of opportunity and privilege must go . equality of obliga tion within the limits of our capacity. "This is the foundaton stone on which democracy rests, and if ever we axe to come safely through a great crisis, one such as we have never yet encountered (I refer to a struggle with a power of the first class), we must be prepared morally as well as physically. We must be prepared not only in a military way but industrially. We must have the organized strength of the Nation ready to defend those things which we be lieve to be right. We can do this with out a trace of militarism and on lines consistent with our ideals. GIRL, 5, ACCUSES' INDIAN Mother Hears Screams and Chases Man With Broom. Tommy Smith, an Indian whose fondness for alcohol, raw- or diluted, has made him a familiar character about the police court, was arrested yesterday by Antonio De Cicco, special Deputy Sheriff.- for an alleged attack upon C-year-old Marie Pattuchlo. near the girl's home at the foot of Lincoln street. The screams of the girl brought her mother to the scene, and Mrs. Pattu chlo drove the Indian away with a broomstick and took after him. J. M. Smith, colored, an employe of the Port land Lumber Mills, captured the Indian. Tommy was lodged in jail and bail fixed at $2000. 500 SCANDINAVIANS MEET Annual Midsummer Festival Held at Ashland.
