A thousand furni ture packers In downtown wholesale nnd retail establishments went on sir ike today for a nine hour day and 12.70 fts a minimum scale. The packer submitted demands everal weeks ago and were offered the nine-hour day with a minimum scale of $2. He Took to a Scow A bunch of fih was taken by Water Baliff Marshall on the 2nd of the month up tne river a rew, miles and was sold to the Llndenberger cold storage of this city. That much was recorded at the time but the novel method adopt ed by the patrolman to effect his pur pos has just come to light. The water baliff had fomerly been tender for the hunting grounds near Quinn and being familiar with the territory there he had been requested to float the acow used by the hunters out of the slough where It was anchored It being the Intention of tow ing UJo some other point with a launch. Accordingly on the evening of the 1st Marshall rowed to the scow and, bardlng It, hitched on his boat, unmoored the fastening and waa soon on the Columbia. After drifting short distance down the river the bailiff noticed two men with a net out and when he had n eared them dropped his anchor. The men, all unsuspecting, took In their net well filled with good salmon and 'went over to Marshall . They anked him where he was from and the baliff eplalned that he ha4 come from Portland and was three days on the way. He said he was out of pro visions and asked the men If they could help him out. The kind-hearted fishermen immediately offered their salmon: the baliff did not care for sal mon, he said, but' being unable to find nut what the men Intended doing with them wound up by Introducing himself and confiscating all the fish. The fish ermen were much surprised and told the officer that they had been on the lookout for launches and skiffs but hereafter would confine their attention exclusively to scows as that means of transit had now apparently been adop ted by the patrolmen. : , Claims He Was Testing Net H, Hanson was arrested by Deputy Warden Webster Monday afternoon for fishing out of season. Hanson Is a resident of Westport and It was near thfre where he was apprehended. He had a few fish In his possession at the time and these were seized by Deputy Webster and disposed ;of;. Hanson was brought here for trial and yester day in the court.of the Justice of the peace was fined In the sum of S50 which he paid. The net used by Hanson was a diver and he claimed he was simply testing It and that It, was necessary to do so In the day time and that waa the reason he was caught at that par ticular time and ; place accidentally catching salmon. The testing is done to' see If the net Is properly leaded. This Is a very necessary process and the defendant 's story did not sound un likely. . : ' ,'- I THEY HAVE FOUND OUT Contractors Wanted to Know What They Should Do in Order V to Avoid Strikes. , MEN MAY RETURN TO WORK Contractors Wished to See if the Union Really Meant Business ; and They're Convinced. Portland. April 7. The signing of the Falling building contract, together with the manner In which other contractors are communicating with the building trades council In order not to be declar ed unfair, make things look from a un ion point of view as though the back bone of the strike is broken. A num ber of contractors railed at the head' quarters of the council today to learn what aus necessary for them to do in order to avoid strikes. They were told that all they need do was to agree not to emplay any nonunion men upon any of their -contracts. It is believed the nonunion man was put to work on the Falling building yesterdiy as a test to draw the fire of the union. And the prompt manner in which the building was completely tied up every man on the Job belonging to the various building trades ijultting seems to have convinced the contract ors that the union means business and will not hesitate to tie up the entire town with a strike In case is demand are not granted. The master painters are still a unit in their stand to resist the -demands of the painters' union, but they can do nothing, as the union claims, without the aid of the building contractors. The members of the as sociation, of course, are given their con tracts for work by the building contrac tors, and If the latter refuse to employ nonunion tnenthe painter contractors will be bound hand and foot as they iannot pot any arum to wof nr"e?ert" IT they secured carloads of them from other ;olnts. Arrested on Suspicion ' ' . Two auspicious characteia were taken into custody by Sheriff Llnvllle and are now In the county Jail. They arrived In the city yesterday on the steamer Lurllne and purport to have come from Kulama. They had In their possession at least a ton of valuable trolluy.wlre and this unusual circumstance togeth er with the dleiointed yarn they tell in connection with their obtaining it, led to their arrest and subsequent deten tion." The story of the men Is that they purchased the wire from a party n-ar Kalama, who was passing there in an open boat, that they loaded It into a skiff and rowed down the river to a point known as Barbary Coast and there they removed the wire and them selves to the house of a resident known as Russian Pete. Yesterday they were In readiness when the Lurllne passed and came dow n on her to here? for the purpose evidently, of disposing of the goods for soon after their arrival they began to- open negotiations with M Suaman for the purchase of. the same, Sheriff Unvilte had been watching their movements' closely and in the ev- nl'nv-tnok them Into custody. The men give the. names of J. W. mitn and Charles Lyman and my that they left Seattle seven weeks ago, but their subsequent experiences as related by them, are very contusing and no reli ance Is placed In what they say. From papers found upon their persons It ap pears conclusive that they are but re cently from Portland. For some time past thieves have been at work In the suburbs of Portland surreptlously re moving copper wire, but thus far the miscreants have not been apprehended It looks very much like the right par ties are now In the local county Jail and effort will be made at once to get Infor mation regarding them. The wire they had In their possession Is tn loose bunches and la In first class condition; Bowlers Are Active Ceglnnlng with last night a tryout will be played on tM CommercWH ciuo alleys, the object being to select a team to engage In the coming contest with the Irving club. A return game, tne six-ond of the series, will qe played at the Commercial club next Friday ev ening. The tryout will continue for three evenings, the six highest being selected for the team and the three next to net as substitutes. Both clubs are manifesting keen Interest In the con test to be waged between them and when the series are concUkded it Is ex pected many good scores will have been made. ' ' .
