The Board of Trade, , the Chamber of Commerce and the Directors of the Fair Will Await His Reply Already His Words Act as Boomerang on His Road. The member, of the Manufacturer.' Association have determined to a.k Mr. Mellen, president of the Northern Pa cific Railroad, whether he gave utterance, to the word, attributed to him by The Journal. Whatever may be the presi dent', reply, and whatever may be the .tand taken by .ub.ldlzed Journall.m, the fa:t remain. THAT MR. MELLEN SAID JUST WHAT THE JOURNAL SAID HE SAID AND ANY STATEMENT TO THE CONTRARY WILL BE AN UNMITIGATED FALSEHOOD. However, Mr. Mellen will repeat hi. word., and, a. The Journal has said before In Its editorial column., Mr. Mellen ha. done much good for Portland by putting her on her mettle. The Lewis and Clark Fair U an assured success BECAUSE MR. MELLEN SAID IT WOULDN'T BE. The Manufacturers' Association met last night and look up the matter of J'reHldent Motion's statements to a Jour nal representative relative to the Lewis uiid Clark Fair. It was decided to write to Mr. Mellen for an explanation, inclos ing a clipping from The Journal wherein his interview is published. Indignation whs pictured on the faces of all present, Quite a good deal of 111 feeling hus been engendered by bla statements, and it Is the unanimous verdict of the people of Portland that the Insult tendered them by President Mellen is entirely uncalled for and unjustified, and is bound to art as a boomerang on the Northern Pacific. The -Board of Trade, Chamber ot Com merce and the Lewis and ('lark Board of Directors have decided to await the resutf-of S. h investigation commenced by the Manufacturers' Association. It la an established fact that trade Is J already being diverted from the North ern Pacific. A local wholesale house oounterrdanded a routing of two ears, or merchandise which wis to go1 over that road and transferred tame to an other road. The people of Portland are asserting themselves and will prove what they can do when they are determined. In an Interview this morning, W. H.

Without anyone being In th. field against him and by unanimous vote of the the entire convention of workmen of America, Gompers was this morning chosen again as the head orthe Federation of Labor. Gompers made a brief speech ofThanks. pledging himself to do all In his power to bring the labor problem to a successful conclusion.

James McConnelL Max Morrla, Thomas Kldd, Daniel Mays. Treasurer J. W. Lehnon. Bloom tngt on, IU. High City Against the of Portland Association, said: "I think that It waa very Injudicious on the part of Mr, Mellen to have made the statements that were published in The Journal. ' He mutt not have realized the vast Interests hi. road has In Portland. If he affirms the statement, which I have no doubt he will. I think the merehantH will know what steps to take by trading with other roads." NOT WARRANTED. Governor-elect George E. Chamberlain said: " The remarks of Mr. Mellen were en tirely uncalled for and not warranted by the history of any former exposi tion that has ever been given in the West. When the' Midwinter Fair at San Francisco was being talked--of. thtr; were persons who said that It would not be a, financial success because It was too far from the center or population, but notwithstanding these prophesies of ill, omen, it is said to have netted over WSS.txXv. ' The same argument la now being used against the Lewis and Clark Fair, and just about the same founda tion." ' Major Alfred F. Sears said: !

SCRANTON, Pa., Nov. 22 Although It j was rumored last night and very gener- ! ally admitted that a settlement had been 1 practically agreed upon between the coal j operators and their employes, there was a sensation sprung when the arbitration 1 commission met this morning. , It was an effort of the Independent oper- ' ators to force the issue, and the demand -made by them that the commission should give an expression of the sentiments of ) the American people regarding the strike. ; lis riots and bloodshed and the methods ! of settlt-ment. It was declared tliut ne- J Initiations between the strikers and their employers relative to settlement outside tlie council were being carried on In se- ere I and the independent operators-: had not .been consulted. SCENE IN.' CONVENTION. When the commission met this morning Darrow announced Uiat the questions at issue had been takeiT up last night by all parties concerned and that there was strong hope of satisfactory settlement out side the commission He. therefore, asked for an adjournment until such time as a decision could be i cached. I'lenty of time to take up the various questions and dis cuss them relative to a compromise was desired, he said. Judge Gray, president of the commis sion, announced lliat he would close the sessions until December 3, that date be ing acceptable to both the workmen and the operators. THE OBJECTIONS. It was at this point that the Independent coal operators began their objections. At- i tornev Burns, representing them, got to I his feet and addressed the commission. "The Independent Operators have been duly admitted to this court and are a party to the claims," he said. "In the negotiations for settlement that wereun dertaken last night they were not con sulted. We want the thing threshed out to an Issue before this commission and will consent to no otner course. We be lieve that an agreement reached before the commission would prove vastly more lasting than one that had as Its parties only the mine workers aa Individuals and the combined coal mine owners." Judge Gray Interposed at this point. As president of the board he declared that the action of the independent opera tors was anticipating the work of the commission and trying to force the issue. The attitude of the commission, he said, OFFERED THE MAN OF THE HOUR IN THE PHILIPPINES. It J it' M 4 1 i cm t j i .t WASHINGTON. Nov.

Judge Gray appointed Clark. Watkins and l'arker a committee to remain and assist in conciliation. THE WAGE MATTER. The Independent operator, declare they will also dispute the wage statements j that were made by the miners. They are In position, they say, to prove that work- men in their mines receive more than $700 i per year and that the pay In some cases ', is as high as $1,200. What they want, is , declared, is something more than a tem porary peace. Counsel Wilson; for ' the Delaware & '. Hudson Company, emphatically declared the meeting held last night was not a j formal one and said 4t was only for the I purpose of making an attempt at outside i M-ttlenicnt. j Counsel Lanah.m, for the non-union I workmen, said his clients were highly j gratified at an oppertuoty for outside set j tlement.

Before a field audience that packed, every stand and crowded the grounds to the gates. Yah and Harvard are battling for the football . championship today. Before banks ,oC,v cuiors a no. inapirua Dy aeep-cneatea cheers and the piping, shrill voices of the gentler sejt, the Sons of Old Ell were on their mettle, and the lads from Harvard were not less earnest In their effort to wrest the laurel from the thousands of judges who watched eagerly for a chance to bestow the token. For days the people have been gath ering here to witness this, the greatest gridiron battle of the year. Three days ago hotels were crowded and 24 hours before the game every seat in the Vast ampltheater had been bargained for, and . there were thousands bidding for "standing room only" Inside the fences. For hours before the contest began foot ami carriage passengers lined before the gates and crowded and cheered, jeered and hooted while they waited for the doors to open. Once Inside the grounds, there was greater noise than ever. A BATTLE OF CHEEItS. Harvard, on one side of the campus, and Tale on the other, lined up and be-. . gan the battle long before the teams had finished their light luncheons and got ten into their football togs. Students by thousands cheered and cheered again when the name of soma favorite waa mentioned, or when an exchange of repartee across the field brought out a point. Brass bands discoursed muslo that was not heard Jn the din and flax waved until the ban&s of seats were on great mass of undulating color. ' As th-e teams trotted upoa WJ.tfald-.thA,., noise became deafening. As one Indi vidual the "eh'tfre" audience rose and shouted in unison. Yale voices mingled with that of Harvard In a grand chorus that shook 'the heavens and made the bedlam that had reigned before" seem silence in comparison. Beyond a few minutes devoted to pass ing and the practicing .of a few punts and place kicks, there was little -timer -taken up In preliminary work. Both teams were eager to get Into the ac tual battle, and soon the coin was Hipped and the men began to tear oft sweaters and rush to their places Oh the . field. Nothing could be heard above tha din of the partizans, although It was ob served that the referee directed remarks) toward the captains and the umpire gave warnings regarding certain changes In the rules, so there could be do misunder standing. Thn the whistle sounded and the gam began amid a silence so intense that it was oppressive. ) sv...--- .- - "rf "V ' i v - .... . . it
