LABOR CENSURES LUMBER MEN How Organized Bodies Are View ing the Matter. AT noY 30(f Pairs Men's All-Wool Trousers $3.00 and $3.50 Values SPECIAL, --CenMn-Bfidet a piftr wtrrje ybnr sizr imerer" WHEN YOU SEE IT IN OUR AD. IT'S SO. MO Within the pant few montha finishing lumber has raised $5 per thousand In price, and now there is strong talk of another substantial advance. Many union mechanics are of the opin ion that this' Is a premeditated scheme on the part of mill owners to cripple or ganized labor In Portland. Carpenters am aoking for an increase In wag's of 60 cents per day. the new schedule to go Into effect April 1. The minimum scale 1h (3 per day at present, but long be fore the Increase was talked of the price of lumber advanced. One of the reasons assigned by the dealers for thV upward tendency of lumber was on account of the prevailing high wages. The fact of the matter Is, however, that the price of lumber advanced, while the wage scale remained practically unchanged. The Proposed Plan. T'nlon men seem confident that there Is a well-developed plan on foot among he mill owners, contractors and others to raise the price of lumber to such an unreasonable figure that building opera tlons will be greatly restricted during the coming season. They orgue that If material Is placed beyond the reach of the average Investor the number of new structures to go up will be limited In the extreme. None but those who are obliged to do so, for one reason or an other, will build. They will wait until they can get material at a reasonable price. Will Torce Them. Carpenters say that this Is just what the lumber trust Is figuring on. They say that the members of the trust want to defeat the union In securing a BO-cent raise in the spring. And this is the way they are planning to do it: If few build ings are erected more than two-thirds of the 1,600 carpenters in Portland will be out of employment. It will then be only a question of time until they are starved Into submission. They will then either have to go to work at the old schedule, and perhape at a still lower rate of wages, or be reduced to abject poverty. It has been the history of all labor difficulties of this character, when the opposition stood firmly together, that the men usually had to submit to the terms dictated. Many carpenters be lleve that this Is the plan formulated by the lumber trust, which it proposes to carry out, figuring that the unheard-of prices to be charged for their product will Insure them from losing on the prep osition. Prices of Lumber. Last spring the price of No. 1 finished S. $13.50. Now No. 1 is $30; No. 2, $28, and No. 3, $18. The raise was made without being accompanied by an In crease in wages, excepting a small con cession given the sawmill workers. If lumber advances In price again soon, lis contemplated, union men are figuring that it Is for no other purpose than to aim a blow at organized labor.

The nth an nual convention of the Wisconsin Cheesemakers' Association began yester day and the manufacturers and shiDDers of the popular article ot diet assembled to the number of 200 at. the Republican House. A proposition which caused some flls- cusslon was the question of paraffining me -ouisme or cheeses while -.they are being cured and made ready for ship ment. 1ms Is a comparative! v new Idea In cheesemaklng and 'the advantages -were set forth In such a way that It 4s DWievea tnat in the future.mostof,the cheese sent out by the members 6 the association will be put up in .this way, although the simple salting and binding method Is somewhat cheaper. The State School teaches that the cheeses should be left on tne shelves In tlfe factory for several weeks In a moderate temperature to grow nrm, before they are packed away, but the advocates of the paraffin ing method think that as soon as the produce has . been shaped and has be come sufficiently dry it should be dipped in tne hot paramne and then placed Ira mediately in cold storage. Police Officers Wing a Flying Sneak Thief. "I'll die game!" muttered Spencer as he lay oh the floor of the Police Station last night with a bullet hole through his body. ' "Iso't there any message you want taken? Isn't there any one you want notified If you're seriously hurt?" The thief opened his eyes full for a moment and then shook his head. He bad given his name as Kd Spencer from Spokane, and that was all he would say. Last night Detective Joe Day and Of ficer Carpenter located two men that they wanted on the corner of Third and Bumslde. One was six feet tall, thin of face and long of nose. The other aa short and heavier set. One -of thara, car ried a bundle under his arm. V "That's the sealskin, sacque we're look ing tor," said Day. The officers trailed the suspects to Fourth and Ankeny. Try as they would they could not close up the interval gained by the thieves. As the men start ed across the corner at Fourth and Ankeny there was a shout of "Halt!" For the men had caugivt sight of their pursuers and were now running. Halt!" , rang out again, followed by two shots. . Day and Carpenter had fired into the air. The- passers-by' Bought riwvrr BJiu-wairiKU iuepu' Two more shots in the air did not stop the thieves and then the officers aimed; low. :' Instantly the men separated. The short one dodged around a corner and the tall one plunged Into' an alley. Carpenter followed Into the blackness and Day guarded the exit. A man outsido picked up tho bundla and was quickly collared by another civilian. "Let that drop. The officers want that" Within the alley Carpenter was feeling his way In Inky darkness. Suddenly he found a man against the wall. "Hold up. your hands!" The thief threw up his hands. "I'm shot," he added. With the assistance of the bystander! the woujided man was carried' to tha Police Htatlon and cared for until Drs. Zan and Slocum arrived and took hlnx to St. Vincent's Hospital, where his wound was examined and pronounced not fatal. The bullet entered In the flsh of the right side at the back and came out Just above the groin. Spencer said his partners name was Itoss. The detectives are certain tho men are from Sacramento and wanted for other things. LEE LUM LOST CASE.
