WATERFRONT UNION WAITS
Xntter Said to Have Plan Which
Would End Trouble If Accepted.
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

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. Or., June 24. (Special.)
A proclamation was issued by Mayor
Johnson today declaring a half holiday
on next Thursday, when formal exer
cises will be held for the dedication of
the newly completed highway between
here and Seaside.
This morning the committee from the
Astoria Automobile Club having charge
of the arrangements for the dedication
extended invitations to state officers
and good roads advocates to attend the
dedication exercises as the guests of
the city and of the club.
Those to whom special invitations
were sent were: Governor Withycombe,
Secretary of State Olcott, State Treas
urer Kay, Mayor Albee, of Portland;

JEWS DISCUSS PROBLEMS
B'nal B'rith to Press Claims for
Rights in European States.
NEW YORK. June 24. 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.

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.
